In theWorker's World.
No one would for a moment
object to representatives of any
calling, mechanical or otherwise,
- .
theeting together and discussing
tbo best methods of promoting
their welfare, because ouch dis-
cussions are likely to result in
good. Pair, unprejudiced discus-
sionsaire in general beneficial, the
interchange of ideas leads to
mental development and practical
advantage. But when methods
are proposed to further cerzain
ends that encroach upon the
rights of others,' hen it is perfectly
proper to take exception to such
action.
The Right Sentiment.
It is certainly not very often
that we agree with the action e or
remark's of Sir John Macdonald,
but wo do approve of the coarse
he has just taken on the Chinese
question. The other day a dele-
gation from the Trades and Labor
congress waited upon him. Their
object was to urge the Goverment
to place still further restrictiams
on Vie importation of Chinese,
even to the extent of not allowing
them to enter Canada, and to ask
that it bo made illegal to employ
Chinese in mine& The views of
the congress were laid before the
Premier by the British Columbia
delegates. Sir John,in reply,said
there was no question that Euro-
pean immigrants were bettor and
more to be preferred than Chinese,
but he had to tell the deputation
frankly that the Canadian Parlia-
ment could not pass a Chinese
Exclusion Act if it so desired, for
the Imperial authorities would
have their say in the matter. In
his opinion the prohibition of the
Chinese would be a mistake.
Canada was just opening up trade
communications with the Celestial
einpire, the C.P.R. would shortly
have three magnificent eteamers
'on the route, and our possibilities
of oniarged trade relations with
China and Japan were great. If
the United States persisted in
their present policy of restriction
the Chinese government might
be inclined to retaliate against
the States, and that would be to
the advantage of the Dominion.
In reference to the request of the
deputation that the Chinese be
prohibited from working in mines,
he asked on what grounds could
tbis be done. How could the
Chinese be allowed to work at
one description of labor and be
excluded from another ? It was
said that the Chinese were ignor-
ant and careless, and that they
were the cause of accidents occur-
ring. He asked the deputation
to furnish him with all the evi-
dence on the point and to prepare
a general statement ef their case,
and he would lay the matter be-
fore his colleagues and before Par-
liarcient. He deprecated,however,
any tendency. to set white labor
against Chinese.
We are all the more pleased at
Sir John's action because there bas
lately beeu a 'tendency 'to show
favors to what may; for conven-
ience, be teymed "the labor ele-
ment" in order to secure their
political support. Our readers
know that we have always oppos-
ed the exclusion of tbo Chinese
on the ground that it was contrary
to the Christian spirit of the age,
and would lead to retaliatory
measures on the part of the
Chinese, and even the fine at
present imposed on Chinese corn-
ing to Canada is developing in
China a epirit of opposition to
Canadian interests. This very
idea was advanced by some China-
men passing through,Canada the
other day. The Chinese have
just as much right to try and
make a living in this country as
the people of any other nation-
ality, and if they are able to live
on less than it takes to keeps
others, and can, consequently, af-
ford to work cheaper, that is their
gain.
Sir John is entitted to com-
mendation in this instance, at any
rate, for it requires no little moral
courage to grapple with a matter
that is to some extent unpopular
with the masses, and interferes
wit 11 their livelihood.

News Notes Around Th County
The Choicest Stealings from
Our County Exchanges.
The Dom i n ion Trades and
Labor Congress,em bracing repre-
sentatives from all branches of
industry,—has been for some
time in session atiOttawa. Among
the resolutions passed was one in
favor of temperance, and suggest-
ing that a Canadian be appointed
to the position of Governor Gen-
eral, with both of which we aro
in sympathy. A resolution that
we did not expect to find is one
recommending that the legislative
grant to schools bg. doubled, and
that the municipal grant be equal
t 41to—as is the case at the
•esent time. The cry has gone
up all oyer the land that "our
schools cost too much," and the
tendency has been to curtail,
rather than increase the sums
expended. To double the amount
would mean a very material
advance in municipal taxes, for
about three-quarters of those rais-
ed now go for school purposes.
There is no question in our mind
but that the amount could be judic-
iously increased,but that increase
could only be made if at all, in a
community able to stand it. All
municipalities could not, without
S01110 injustice, double their
school grants. A great many
rural municipalities raisewhat,to
townspeople,seems likeridiculous-
ly small amounts, and yet it is
possible that these amounts could
not be materially increased. While
the intention of the resolution
may be commendable, it over-
reaches itself by proposing to do
too much.
Another resolution was ap-
proval of' the proposed act "In
the examination and licensing of
persons having charge of station-
ary steam engines." It is not
surprising that this was endorsed,
because any restristive measure
regarding employment asually re-
ceives the endorsement of labor
advocates. To pass such a mea-
sure, however, would be a serious
injustice to a large class in the
community. To run a steam en-
gine requires care and judgment,it
is true, but it does not by any
sf" means follow that a person should
pass technical examination before
they are allowed to run one. We
firmly believe that if statistics
•could be gathered it would show
liaat, more accidents have happen-
ed from steam engines run by
practical engineers than from
those run by what might be called
novices, and the latter outnumber
the former in use. Look for in-
stance, at the stationary boriere
used in Huron. If the law requir-
ed these to be attended to only by
those who had passed an exami-
nation for the purpose, many of
them would bo compelled to stand
idle.
Other propositions relating to
the .franchise, taxation on lands
held for speculative purposes, ap.
pointment of female factory in-
spectors, &c, wore passed by the
Congress.

tainly bring a very large number of

Here is a business offer from a
grocer in Kirksville, Missouri. Could
not any Canadian grocer make a similar
proposal? The sum would oe $73.
Here is the proposal : "Any man who
drinks two drams of whiskey per day
for a year, and pays 10 cents a drink
for it,can have at our store thirty sacks
of flour, 220 lbs of granulated sugar and
72 pounds of good green coffee for the
same sum and get $2.50 premium for
making the change in his expenditure."
That is a temperance lecture in a very

Of novel appl-ications of electricity
there is no end. Bakers are now using
the electric mdtor as a bread mixer, and
are thus enabled to do in four or five
minutes an amount of work that would
otherwise require hours of hand labor.
A writer in a medical paper says he has
frequently obtained much relief from
facial neuralgia by applying an
incandescent light to the part
affected. Ire suggests that the

and constant heat could. be thns se-
cured.

The London Speaker points out that
Canada produces better wheat than the
States, and Canadian malt is the finest
in the world. Yes,and Canadian cheese
take a first place wherever sold. This
is a great country, and does not need
to be fenced around with restrictions to
keep it so. Canada can hold her own
with the best of them, if only her peo-
ple were only permitted to make the
most of their natural opportunities.

A sensational breach of promise of
marrage case will bo tried at the
Middlesex Assizes. It is said that of
Mrs Annie Fallowfield, widow, aged 46,
against Donald Hutchinson, aged 53.
Both parties live in Durham, Oxford
county. On March 21st, 1557, the
plaintiff alleges,the defendant proposed
marriage to her and was accepted.
Hutchinson was then a widower. He
never fulfilled his promise. In January
18110, he married another person. Tho
defendant admits promising to marry
plaintiff, but claims that he was justi-
fied in abandoning her ou account, as
he alleges, of her being irregular in her
conduct. Both parties to the suit have
grown-up families.
Mary Herbert and Mabel, daughters

N. J. fought a prizefight in a sixteen -
foot ring pitched in an old barn in the
outskirts of that village at 3 o'clock

fight was rivalry for the attentione of a
young man named George Woodward.
Thirty-eight rounds were fought, in
which both girls were severely punish-
ed, but neither had the advantaZe and
the contest was declared a draw. The
combatants were strippeditoIthe waist,
and every part of their bodies exposed
to view bore traces of punishment.
The referee and seconds and spectators

pals. Woodward has since declared he
will have nothing to do with either of
the girls.
