'Almeut every week some instance is noted wherein grave and serious charges are laid at the 'door of prominent clergymen, and only too -frequently thooharges are.subeequently sustained. Hitherto Canada has not been the scene of these affairs to any extent, . but a case has • arisen at :•Toronto wherein the Rev, Mr. Handferd figures. •.. Clergymen, of eouret, are only human, but. their high oallitag and very responsible poli #idn shouId prompt them'to feel the• absolute necessity of " avoiding,.tktli vary •appoaranee of evil," not only in thin eonneetion, but ,in everything else. . Application is to• he made for a charter fur the • "Northwest Colonization Companyer. The company. is Composed of Conservative M. P's., and the object is to obtain eonttol of sideration of taxpayers : In 1878 the national debt of Canada was S77,000,000 ;•last year it was $170,090,000 Tho Interest on the national debt is $7,000,- 000, or about one•third our annual revenue. This amount has to be borrowed, and we are thrid forced to borrow money to pay the inter. est on borrowed money, s Sofnemember cif the lioaee of Commons might secure some interest -lug information by moving for a return allowing the amount of money spent by each Deparement in adver. tieing. Little sheets possessing about the same degree of literary ability as a handbill, and scarcely as much uiraulation or influence, appear clotted with advertisemente in aonnec tion with the I'nblio Werke of the Dominion, The Stratford Beacon done not believe that the Toronto Mott will stick to its promise to condemn the wrong doing of any but the small fry of the Tory, party, Our contemporary aptly adds i -s' Ono -article denouncing the Pacific scandal would cost it (the 1lfaril) 5,000 readers, if it has got that many. We chat. lenge the Mall to saythat Sir'John A. Mac- donald ever did wron, Tho organ dare not do so, and well it knows it; Tho Canadian Spectator of Montreal pule the construction of the Canadian Pacific in ft nutshell when it says ; '" It is n settled fact, easily provable by figures, thatrailway con- nection with British Columbia itself 7 The best policy the ,Government can adopt ;is to build the road to the North-west as it is, need- ed, and, tell the British Columbians that we promised in haste, have repented during sub.

Here farmers living miles' apart meet in. friendly interouu;so--here they vie with each other in the production of• the best. At, these exhibitions for the first time many a farmer has witnessed, what may done in:.the production:of the beat beef, mutton,' peek, ete., etc, ; and, seeing what is accomplished by others, he has gone .home to follow the example. At• these gatherings erroneous opinion and • foolish prejudices have been removed, and stimu- lus• created, by, these meetings has'tended, to dev lo etto •a ver large patent. the l a ricuural' • •resources t of • our county. g .. y Their•object ought to be the gathering to gather of the largest possible number to compare their•productions under the niost• favorable oircumetances::' We think a fair question: tor discussion just now is, How shall ' this: he • best secofnplished ?'t Shall we depend on'tbe annual Provincial Exhi- bition for' `these advantages; -aorta if not, what shall be sup.pleinentod ? It will be ad -witted by.all that we cannot reaeh:•tho maaset :.by the Provincial Exhibition, as, comparatively few from any single' locality will find: their_ way -sot great a : distance. But,. if it be true that in proportion -to the large number; and excellence of the exhibits so is the advantage . gained (and this we. think cannot be denied), then it follows that the .larger tho territory included in these exhibitions=provided they are with-' in the reach of the .hisses ein slit to be be- nefited -0o greater will be trio benefit, . Ne have . now in existence oounty land ,townshi'p .organizations. To.. accomplish the .greatest results is it necessary to. •con tonus to hold an annual Oeutty exhibition. to bo followed by a smalleg •one „in each` municipality I. We are decidedly. of • the opinion. that the greater overshadows the. lesser, _alta.,- wlule...in early; days, without any railetaer communication, without • good roads; without the easy carriage now so common, it might have beers' necestiery to - hold those smaller shows, there is • now no •longer any neoessity„ except in Jeri, .ex- cej tional'cases,•for their continuance, Of course; if the object be to pay a fern dollars to the principal farmers aid mechanics:dm each municipality, in the way' of prizes, then continue• -but We have always under- stood this was' but an incentive to aoeom. lir}k the higher ends above. Again, if no real good is to bo gained, the continuance of these gatherings becomes a real' evil; They roust be held at,a time of year When labor on the 'farm moans wealth ewhen the tithe ought to be occupied iii preparing the soil for the following crops and in .market. ing that already osl hand. Those who •ex- hibit trust spendton pi‘ twelve days in pre- paration. All the farind:iandsexpect to go, and all. work must be stopped, if not for the followmg day, Again, it is always• more or less exponsive attending those exhib- tions, quite as mnoll so • attending a• small as a large one. 'Surely no good can bo gain• od by gazing at the same articles a• second tomo within a few days, only all n stnall •scale. In view of all thoso Ivcr•hold that the. gathering of rho people allnilally to a largo portion of . land in the northwest, with the (supposed) intention of aiding in' its settlement, it certainly looks very suspicious. that such a company is formed for this pur- pose, and if its application is granted; the re- sult will be to create a land monopoly similar in character to the Canada Company, Which operated to adversely to the interests of this c0tl0bty, There is already too much. of the land in the northwest looked -up from actual - settlement, and if the government continues its policy of aidingits friends at the expense of the country, the result will bo to cl"ryvo sot, tiers over the border at a more rapid tato that they°are even doing now. s attend thea° .small exhibitions. is .but waste of time and money andpot any long- er to be tolerated. We think the time has dome when, "there usefulness being gone," the Legislature should be asked to discon- tinue the ttmouut anntlally granted for their support, Carrying out the same idea, we are of opinion that in aoino localities good results would he seen from the union of two or more counties in holding a District Exhibition ; at all events let us have fewer exhibitions and better ones. 1n the in. creasing number of these' gatherings the interest is divided. Lot us have more con- centration and union effort, and wve fell sure that good only will bo the result.— Farmers Advocate.
