7'HE FIFTH OF NOVEMBE
The next issue of THE NEWS -R
OORD will be on the 5th of Novel
bar. A day made memorable i
British annals. And in some way
melancholy memorable. That da
two hundred and seventy-four yea
ago was fixed upon for the accomp
ishmentof one of tho most uofariou
plots that was ever conceived agaiue
the liberties of a nation or of man
kind. The Gunpowder Plot of 160
was the culmination of a most de
testable and unreasonable disaffec
tion against the government o
James in England. It was not a
much the outcome of disaffection
in England as it was the work
of foreigners and rebels with-
out the commonwealth. Indeed
James had relaxed the penal
laws of Elizabeth against Romanists
and non -conformists. But the hier-
archy of Rome was senselessly jeal-
ous of a continuation of affairs that
promised a perpetual negation of
the religious as well as tedrporal
sovereignty of the see of Roane
The bulk of the Catholics 'of Eng-
land were content with the policy
of Japles, though he was obliged to
banish a number of prreeta and others
Qn account of their machinations
• against the state and hia power. In
Flanders one Catesby found a wel-
come ally iu Guido Fawkes. These
and others hired a tenement near
the parliament buildings and dug
an undergroundpassage to connect
the cellars of the two places. By
this means barrels of gunpowder
were placed under the parliament
buildings which were to have been
blown up on the 5th, November.
Arms were brought from Flanders
and Catholic gentlemen were in
readiness to take advantage of the
disorder and death to' result from
the explosion. Fortunately for
human nature the ties of kinship
prevailed over the monstrously in-
human feelings which prompted
such an intended wholesale slaugh-
ter of the best blood in the King-
.dom.
ine•dom. One of the plotters named,
Tresham warned Lord Monteagle,
and further information brought.
abort the diseeYfYav of the gun-
powder in the cellar, and the arrest
of Guido Fawkes and his execution.
The provincial of the Jesuits, Gar-
net, and others were also executed
for complicity in the. plot.
It is well to charitably remember
such epochs in history as the 5th
of November, the massacre oi St.
Bartholomew and other acts of in.
human design prompted or carried
out by alleged divine inspiration,
in the service of a benign and
merciful Creator. They show to
what excesses religious bigotry and
fanticism will Carry zealots. Such
epochs not only teach charity but
they are lessons to those who enjoy
civil and religious liberty to care-
fully guard those precious boons by
Checking the first move of any relig-
ious sect in political matters. Civil
tyranny is galling enough, but
tyranny over the couseieuce has
led to more abominable deeds than
those of civil despots. It is right
and proper that the rising genera-
tion be taught that the same tyran-
nical system that promoted the
Gunpowder Plot for the purpose of
handing oveoverthe liberties of our
ancestors to a foreign hierarchy
still exists. That it is striving by
insidious means even in this pro-
vince, through our public school
system, to sap the very foundation
of that civil structure which is the
conservator of our political freedom
and our liberty of conecienco.
While condemning a system that
has led to such atrocious measures
as the St. Bartholomew massacre,
the acts of •' bloody " :Mary by
which 300 persons were put to
death for the crime of being Pro-
testants, the contemplated blowing
up of the Houses of the English
Parliament on the 5th, November
1605—while condemning the•'sys-
tem that led up to these let us not
forget the retaliatory measures of
Elizabeth by which Catholics were
put to death for being such, but
priests only, laymen wore not mo

Many Protestants and Orange.
men will meet on this 6th of Nov-
ember and as is quite proper they
should will congratulate themselves
on the miscarriage of the Gun-
powder Plot, and the preservation
of British civil' and religious liberty
so gloriously perpetuated by Wil-
liam of Orange and the flourishing
association , founded in honor of
hits. But while glorying in our
much prized principles let us' not
go to the other extreme and our-
selves be tyrants. There is no class
of people in the world that Orange-
men should be as forbearing to as
to Roman Catholics, for from youth
up their religious tutelage is in a
groove not at all commensurate
with the broadened ideas generated
by an open Bible and the liberty
of conscience to act in accordance
with its plain unsophisticated teach-
ings. Do to others as- you would
they should do to you.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
Mr. Laurier, the leader of the
Grits, proposes to reimpose the
duties on tea and coffee which we
cannot produce, and take the duties
off wheat and oats which we do pro-
duce, and thus reduce the price of
what farmers have to sell while in-
creasing the rest of what they have
to buy.
Win. Waterman died at Grand
Rapids, Wie., aged 114 years, He
married his second wife when he
was in his hundredth year. She
died a few years ago. He always
used tobacco and liquor. Report
saith not whether it wits his being
married twice, or the whiskey or
the tobacco that conduced most to
his longevity.
Now for another attack by the
Grit ,press on the Minister of Cue;
toms. At Belleville the other day
Miss Evelyn M. Bowell, youngest
daughter of the Hon. M. Bowell,
Minister of Customs, was married to
Mr. George W. McCarthy, of Cleve-
land, Ohio. How inconsistent for
the enforcer of " legalised robbery"
to permit this free reciprocal inter-
chaugo !
• Iu the recent contest in Richelieu
county for a seat in the Dominion.
Parliament. the Grit cry was "un-
restricted reciprocity " and " un -
avenged Riot," Even • the ,far off
silvery cadences of shoot the volun-
teer's Laurier, or the stertorous tones
of the unknightly knight of the
two-faced shield, Sir Richard Cart-
wright, had no effect. " Protection
for Canada " and "death to murder-
ous rebels" carried the day. The
Conservative majority being in-
creased five times over what it was
at the general elections.
Sir Julian Pauncefote, theBritish
Minister at Washington, says that
in regard to commercial relations
between Canada and the United
States, he only awaited Canada to
signify her wishes, The Grits have
been perpetually •haranging that
Canada's wishes in this or any mat-
ter in which Canadians are interest-
ed would Bever bo consulted or re-
speoted by the Imperial authorities.
Now, to have the British Minister
saying that he stands ready to carry
out Canada's wishes as to trade re
latiuna with the United States is
somewhat of a ' facer ' la the Grits.
The Canadian Government voicea
tho wishes of the people in regard
to the trade relations with the Un-
ited States, And that is that we
shall continue to have control of
our tariff.
The St. I ,u,.# Republican does
not think notch of the " home
market " of '60,009,000 of people.
It points out that, with all their im-
menss f::;tories and their hundreds
of thousands of artizans, and the
many other classes of non producers
of agricultural products, yet they
cannot keep pace with the ever in-
creasing output of the farms. The
value of farm products shipped'
abroad during the last Dight months
for the lack of a home market, ex-
ceeded by $48,000,000 the exports
of farm products during the eight
corresponding months last year.
And it was not a very good year
for crops either. What everlasting

brethren do. .•
The Grits now 'say that the bad
Tories spent $10,000 Mille defunct
Mechanics' bank bills in Richelieu,
where the Tories increased their
majority so largely at the election
the other day. - Now it does not
speak well for the Grits down there
when theirown friends now say they
were bought with bad, •bills, the
paper of a. suspended .back. It
.were bad enough tosay they were
bribed, but that, they were bribed
with worthjesa, Money, is rho very
acme of insult.
Mr. Mowat has spoken. At the
banquet •which he and his fellow
grits gave to'Mr. Limier in Toronto.
Mr. ,Mowat said that "the • Jesuits'
Estates Act has no reference to any
Matter with whioh the people of
Ontario have any thing to do, or
to any matter within the juris-
diction of the legielature of On-
tario!' There is not much
sympathy in the protestant breast
of Mr. Mowat with the so-called
equal rights people. And the grit
organ, the Globe, which has been
contending the other tray was
hiesed at the same meeting by those
very good liberals.
A Detroit paper says that the
United States payments for yearly
pensiona is $10,000,000 more than
the whole cost of the military estab-
lishment of Great Britain for both
effective and non -effective service.
There is no special frugality in the
cost of government in the United
States. Their expenses' are much
heavier than ogre in that direction.
Yea; though we do pay our Gover-
nor-General as much salary as they
do their President, it costa the
United States as much every four
years to elect their chief magistrate
as would pay the salary and all in-
cidentals attached to the otlige of
our chief magistrate for twenty
years.
President Elliott, of Harvard
College, U.S., like his literary con-
frere, Prof. Galdwin Smith, has
disavowed his protection views,
withdrawn from the Republican
party and joined the Democrats.
An American paper says hie doings
"create about as much stirs, in the
political world as the transmutation
of a tadpole into a frog causes in
the animal kingdom. Dr, Elliott
is an excellent college president and
a gentleman of refinement, and his
vote is just as good as John L. Sul-
livan's. His political influence,
however, is much less." That is
about the eize of Prof. Goldwin
Smith. Put the name of Smith for
that of Elliott and you have the
English - American - Canadian Pro-
fessor.
If the theory of those Canadians
that are hankering after the alleged
flesh pots of a free American market
is right, the people of that country
must live on basswood hams and
wooden nutmegs. For during the
mouth of September of this
year the United States exported
beef, swine and dairy products to
the value of $8,829,549, and for
the eleven months ending Sept. 3
their exports of beef etc. amounted
to $98,968,769. If the Americans
banker for Canadiau farm produce,
it is because they think they can
buy it at lose prices than it would
bring to ship it abroad whero they
send their own large surplus to.
Blit Canadians can send direct to
foreign markets their agricultural sur-
plus on better terms than Ameri-
cans can. Why put profits into tho
pockets of Americans which should
go into the pockets of Canadians 1
President Harrison is preparing
his annual mange and, it is stated,
will take a firm stand in favor of
the republican policy of protection
and will recommend the repeal of

There are no commercial union
flies on 1:''resld.elit Harrison or the
dorninent, republican party. Their
polio is America for the Alneri-
cans,rand• a very good one, a very
patriotic one it' is from their stand-
point. There is a lesson for Cana-
diiang in this. Canadians should
stick to their policy of Canada for
Canad-tape. When the Democrats
who favored the abolition or reduc-
tion of duties on wool were in
power wool dropped in price in the
United States. This year with the
republicans in power wool advanced
5 cents per pound, making a differ.
epee to Montana territory alone of
$450,000 on this season's crop.
If the dread of a revenue party com-
ing to power makes such a
difference, what havoc would the
actual accession to power of a free
trade party make among the farm-
ers^
Our town;cotetu challenges us to
publish the opinions of cattle deal-
er Wm. McLean on free trade with
the United States. If Mr. McLean
will furnish them to us we shall be
most happy to do so, whether we
agree with them or not. We do.
not kbow what his opinions are.
But we do know from American
market reports that better prioes
can be obtained for similar grades
of cattle in Canada than in the
United States. And we do know
that the Americans largely export
beef to Great Britain, though not
on as favorable conditions as Cana-
dians do, on account of the fear in
Britain of disease among American
live cattle. On Friday 1,000 lbs
fat steers brought $3.70 per 100 lbs
in Toronto, while 1,100 lbs fat
cattle brought only $3.45:in Buffalo,
and a load of Michigan •mixed
brought only $2.60.
They do it everywhere. Sec-
tarianism unchecked is the same
everywhere, and we shall not see
the last of sectarianism until we
have seen the last of Gritism. The
following from an American paper
is perfectly pat to the policy' pur-
sued by the Grit Education Depart-
ment in Ontario. Substitute On-
tario for Boston and you have the
George Washington Ross -Oliver
Mowat policy. outlined. "Tire school
history issue is up again in Boston.
"Anderson's General history" is the
book under scrutiny. The com-
mittee of 100 have asked Professor
Sheldon, the well-known historian;
The Rev, Pr. A, A, Miner, the Rev.
Dr. F. E. Ifale,•and.the .).rev. James
M. Gray to report upon the book.
They report iu effect that the book
has been revised to placate the
Roman Catholics, and that it does
not set the United States in proper
relation to other countries. The.
book's author admita.the last edition
was revised to satisfy Roman Catho-
lic critics."
The city of Chicago is moving
in tho matter of furnishing free
books as well as free tuitionto'
scholars in the public schools. And
the leading press seem to favor the
idea. The one is a corollary of the
other. It would seem so. Those
who cannot afford to educate their
children are the very class that can
ill afford to purchase books for
them. Free schools without free
books are to many as though you
gave them a good paying job of
work to do when they are too poor
to buy the tools requisite to do- the
work. And if the government, fur-
nished free books it should print
them and prevent the. scandalous
jobbery that prevails both in Canada
and the United States by frequent
changes ih text books and increased
cost every time to parents', and
which increased cost goes into the
pockets of favorites of the powers
that bo. By the way, free public
schools is not a modern innovation.
Two hundred years ago De Foe, the
author of Robinson Crusoe, in
writing of his early life, says what
education he received was at home
and "in the free schools of the
country," England.
When men are not particular
what they say their remarks often
lead them into ludicrous positions.
Mr. Wiman, the great go between
of a handful of American specula-
tors and a 'handful of Canadian
traitors, to have Canada transferred
to the United States, has many
times given evidence that ho will
say the most contradictory things.
One of his latest absurdities, when

talking of the destiny of Canada, is
when he s;—"Eight men out of
every ten iu the United States, who
have thought upon the subject, have
reached the conclusion that Canada
ought 'to belong to the United
States." We don't believe anything
of the kind, if for no other reason
than that given by Wiman a little
further on in his remarks when he
says :—"The general belief among
Americans is that.the United States
comprise all.that is worth having
on this coutiuent." Nos if the
general belief among Americans ie
that the United States comprise
everything that is worth having on
this continent, how is it that eight
out of ten Americans think. that
Canada ought to belong to the
United States? If they have got
all of this- continent that is worth
having it is the very quintessence
of absurdity that they would go to
any trouble to secure other portions
of this continent that is not worth
having. And they might as well
think this Canada of ours is not
worth having, for assuredly they
are not going to get it—not even by
the, round about way of commercial
+union.
