ria EH Prier TL Brut se \u2014 oe CLUBS AND SOCIALS.Men without families have no homes and some with families have very poor ones.Having no where else to ge, they go to the tavern.They have no liking for it, their apolouiste say, but they must go some where, and they naturally seck company, so they make the taverns their resort and sink down and down.There are nearly three thousand taverus in Montreal, licensed and unlicensed, living upen this suppored demand for something eles than howe, and their number is rapidly increasing, They are à cancer on the body of nur social life, devouring it by inches.Worhingmen's clubs are propesed whero the people can set amusement and ao- ciety without the temprations of the tavern.With regard to these there are two dithienltics.One ix tivancial.Personal en.interested perronal management have some hope of succeas, Luts communistic enterprise, in which love of the common goed is the only incentive of the manager, only succeeds so long as such noble mutives are sutliciently strong to overcuine all temptations to weari- ncss or corelessness.The other ditficulty is moral aud social.What is to be the limit of membership, and what will be the character of the entertaininents and the company at them if alland sundry have a say in the management?The church is a peoples club cn à more or less communistic basis.Put the church does not seem ta supply all the social needs, or, at Teast, ail the wants of the people.Were the church to undertake to supply the common home life proposed in the people's clubs, they would afford a certain guaranter that the social life would not uverstep what is decorous and would atfurd comenon ground upon which people might moet with freedom and dignity who woulil avoid cach uther elsewhere.But churches are, we presume, hardly prepared to oversce and prescribe for the recreations of the people.Most of them would say that it was one of their business.Presuming the nced to exist, the failure of the church to supply it ensures that it will be filled unde: other and less sauctified auspices, and the prospect ia that religious men, being in the minority, Iatitndinarian views weuld prevail and the organization last a very short time, A porsonal etfort, or one under a joint-stock proprietorship, ander which those financially interested would decide exactly what rules should be followed, would only give a better result if the proprietors took high gromad and sought usefulness rather than revenue, Tho organizatiena which have suceeded in the past in counteracting the saloon have heen catfec houses whose proprietors had thst object in view.Something has been dome in Montreal in this line, and much more might be done, The coffee house dues uot supply the first deaideratorm of social life, namely, the easy intercourse of the sexes, Lut then neither does the tavern; 50 that it ineets the case so far as the tavern is concerned.But the great need of society is what we have stated.There are countless families of girln in every large city growieg old in maidenhood might be filing a completer place in life, while countless excellent youths, pining to know them, have to spend their evenings at libraries, at meetings, or in the narrow loneliness of their boardinghouse bedrooms, The Iatter arc shy about visiting, awkward when they do visit and are never asked anywhere or hardly ever.We know of nothing that meets the social needs of the well-dispored among the people to whom home life is lacking so well as what are known as church sociale, These are objected to often on the score that they lawer the spirituality of the church, and this is undoubtedly often tho cate, al will be the case everywhere that the church aes nnt keep its primary mission always in view or does not possess enough of spiritual lcaven to leaven the whole ump.The fact remains that the people need these sociale and that the church can supply them and can do so if it will

Instead of having each province in turn at the throat of the Dominion Government, demanding hetter terms, it was ro.wlved, in pursuance of a proposal of Mr.Mercier's, to make a united demand for better terms all round, the subsidy increasing with the increase of the population at each decennial census, though not quite in proportion to it.What the result of this would be, ns based on the census of 1881, the conference set forth.Some of ite critics set forth a very different set of figures, based presumably on estimates of what the population fa now ar will be at next census, Buch calculations are generally very much astray for no epidemic slays lke & census, We give helow the present subsidies as stated by the (/azeite, the incremee as calculated by the Conference and increase

its constituents nut only for the expenditure but for the raising of the funds, the Provincial Governments have no explanations to make with regard to the way the public crib is filled.and have unly

steamer * Rose Mary\u201d in the Nteaits of Dover, and in twenty minutes the *' Scholten\u201d went down with over a hundred and thirty of her passengers and crew.At the time of the accident there was a heavy fog on the water, and some ansicty Dutch steamer ant the 1mult of goiug torward under such circumstances in the crowded waters of the narcow seas, as all her officers were on the bridhe.Whether the *\u201cÎlose Mary\u201d was at anchor Was sail ing with nothing but her anchor.lights burning, is a question the admiralty court of enquiry will be called upon to settle.(On the face of it, the positive declaration of her captain that he was at anchor must varry more weight thao the ide.claration of the Datch officers that she wos ateatuing ahead, as the latter's opportunities of sliscovering what the ** Rose Mary © wan doing appear 10 have bein very limited, The causes of the great loss of life that attended thesinkingef thesteamer wore three : firet, tbe bulkheads only kept the ririp atloat twenty minutes;second, the otiicers were unable tu enforce discipline and restore order afterthe shock:and thirdly enly two out of thelive craix boats the steamer carried could be launched.It has been proved by disaster after disaster that the only bulkhead worthy of the name in the ccean vessels of the day, is the forward or collision bulkhead and the only other effective safeguards ns yet discovered appear to be the longitudinal bulkhead and water level deck which the British Adwniralty demands in subsidized vessels.The lack of discipline on the part of the crew, and the terrible panic which hindered the work of pruviding for the safety of the pas- scngers during the short twenty minutes that intervened between the shock of the collision and the sinking of the vessel, are becoming less common.The condition of the boats, which had to be chopped free with axes and which could net be cleared away before the vessel had taken a heavy lint to one side, rendering it impossible to do anything with them, is not, there is too much reason to he- lieve, peculiar to the ** Scholten \u201d or to Dutch vessels, As a general rule the life boats of a passenger steamer appear to be fixtures of the same kind as the deck- houses, and unless the sackle intended to pat them into the water is tested occasionally, they will in time of danger practically preve so.It would be interesting to knew how long a time had olapeed since the hoata of the *¢ Scholten\u201d were in the water, and how often the mes of her errw had Leen exercised in them.le it impossible for emigrant ships to be provided with a system of life rafts that could be launched over the side without tackle of any kind.or - AN ECCLESIASTICAL DENIAL.His Lordship the Bishop of

to me by éditorial comment, | claim with absolute right that yon publish this telegram next Monday ; advo the letter of the pastor of Napanee, which shall be mailed to you to morrow.Jaues Viscuye CLRARY, Bishop of Kingston, In the absence of a special report by à Woiness corrcapondent we must funkly accept His Lordship's denial.It might be well for His Lordship to trace op the matter and bring to book the person who, as he assorts, invented such & very Injurions slander againet him, for, supposing His Lordship to have said nothing like what was reported, it would be hard te imagine s more vicious and injurious ealumny than inventing it.- AnouT AS Cool A PROPOSINION as was ever made was that of the Gazeite that the United States should hand over to Canada a large part of the State of Maine simply because à Canadian company had bullt a railway across it ae the most direct route tos Canadian port.Failing that, car contemporary had an alternative, that the United Statesshouldenbeidisethe Canadian company for opening up that part of Maine.The Americans are not te be easily outdone at this game, and cool ne these propositions were, one still more {rigid comes from New York by way of London.If we aretobelievethecorrespondentof the all Mall Gamite, who, in the service of that journal, is travelling all round the world to interview the inhabitants of the diferent portions of the Kmpire ug to its interests, the Chamber of Commerce of New York is considering the proposal of Mr.Edward Atkinson, of Boston, that the United States purchase from Chaa- da the Maritime Provioces, at the price of sy millions of dollars, which it is considered the Provinces Governments, and they believe: in their share of the national debt.This Mr.Atkinson thinks woxld be a satisfactory settlement of the fishery question.Doubt.lose it would be satisfactury to the only party tusmy Americans think hu any sights namely, the United States By the simple method of taking over the oil a8 the tisherivs, the Ameri iv aim, that of getting the Caniadisn fisheries fi nothing, and getting the Provinces at à diet cheap bargais.The price they aie willing give for provinces, tishetion, «nd all, is just oue Lundred years\u201d purchase of the fisheries alone.Mr, Edward Atkinson is u Bostonian who distingniehed bimecl* by proposing the At lantie C'utteu Exposition.Ilis latest proposi- tlon, if only acted upon, would be à still greater financial success for the United States, Canadu'w Atlantic winter ports bave not, so far, been great commercial successes, but they are uo dear to her that the United States cau- not buy them or one fout of Cavadian territory lor money.whom l'rosinces, au ¢ to M.Delyssers, the other day, assured the stockholders of the Panama Caual that no more money would be required and that the caus] would bu opened on February 3rd, 1890.Senor Nicolss Tonco Armero, the representative of the Columbia Government, declarea that the cabal cannot possibly be opened hy that time even if a high level canal with locks be substituted for the sen level one which M.Delessepa declares he will carry through.Senor Armero alse de- vlerca that #082,699,080 will be required fa addition to the SI63,G06,550 already ex- petted, He ulso states that instead of tifteen thousand «niy five thousand men arc employed on the works.As M.Paul Leroy-Beaulicn as well as the American engineers scut to Panama to investigate, report very much to the same effect as Columbia's representative, there can be little doubt that M.Do Lesseps in deceiving the shareholders and dvubtless himself.The Americans may not be impartial judges, aa they have a pet rival scheme, the Nicaraguan Canalachemne, which isbeing revived, and Mr.Leroy Beaulieu may have reported ia the in- rests of French bears of Panama Cabal stock, but whyshouldthe Columbian, Government, which is deeply interested in M.De Lesseps\u2019 success, publish false reports calculated toinjure the enterprise?The American scheme does not thrive ; the Nicaraguan Assembly bas rejected the agréement made by the Presilent with the Canal Com pany.Tnose Gaurrise Dess which are known us bucket-shope have to go: they have re- ovived their marchingorders.A bucket shopkeeper of New York named Filiott W, Todd; was tried on Wednesday for keeping a backet.shop in violation of the Gumbling Act, and The Great Nxep of local goveroment ia Britain is illustrated by the experience of Dumbarton.There was an ancient tows pump in the middle of one of the main strects of that honorable burgh that had not only long vutlived its usefulness, but was an uamitigated nuisance, The municipal autho- ritiee determined on Îts removal, and all the property bolitera but one in the conumunity gladly gave their consent.As the minority of one wis vbatinate it was necessary to yet the consent of the Jmperial House of Com: wons to the removal of that pump, and it cost three thensand pounds and some years of offort to get the Dumbarton pump bill through, The actual removal of the pump lid not cost anything, but the cost of legislation was so heavy that a moderately effectual check has been put upon municipal reform in Dumbarton.After all, however, the town was Juckier than many of ita fellows, it got its bill passed, and that is what uo small urmber of Scotch and English towns du not do, To Canadians with their municipal system all this seems very antiquated.Tie History oF Tite Waterloo and Magog Railway shows why the Dominion Government was so anxious Lo get control of the whole railway system of the Dominion.The road in guestion was wanted as a part of the Canadian Pacific's short line, and that company wished to buy it, and under a Dominion Act has bought it at very much less than it cost ; the price paid being sufficient to pay only sixty cents on the dollar of the bonded indebtedness, and leaviog the capital stock absolutely valucless.Opposition to the purchase is made by the Quebectiovernmest, sw that tbe validity of the transfer of provincial charters tv the Dominion is likely to be tested.It is herd to see, how- cver, how the sale could have been avoided even if Parliament bad assumed no rights in the premises.If it could not have bought tbe live the Pacitic Company would bave had to build another alongside of it, and then, unless the Waterloo route bad some prospect of becoming some time a portion of some other continental line, its bounds, instead of being worth sixty cents, would not have been worth ten.Tig NAT Ex 07 Crk Corosy are carrying on a powerful agitation against the abolition of the restrictions of the liquor trade recently eflected in the interests of European merchants.The churches are with the natives on the question.Resolutions have been passed at the Free Presbytery of Kaffrarie ++ protesting solemaly against the action of * the Government, supported by the country, +t which is destroying the natives committed * to the care of a responsible Government, in * apite of carnest appeals from the natives * themselves.\u201d It appears that by an the jury, alter hearing the evidence, took only hall an hour to decide that he war guilty.\u2019 The case was a test one, and Judge Cowing, | who presided, imposed u tice of one huodred dollars only.The case will probably be ap- pesled, but few believe that the verdict will be annulled.There are six backet-shops fn this city, one of which has just been started.They may take warning by the fate of Todd.The gambling laws of Canada are very similar to those of New York and Massachusetts.| Bucket-shops have been doing a thriving business in both of those states for along time under the very mistaken notion, as it! appears, that they could not Le convicted.: This illusion has been utterly and rudely dispelled by the tirat prosecution.It is a question whethar operators on the regular Stock Exchange who make what is known as wash, or reported sales, could not be convicted | under the samc law.The Stock Exchange would do wcll to purve itself of that in.équity, The hucket-shop keepers have their notice ti close up.The conviction of » kesprr of n ** clock gambling place in Boston was, it will be remembered, followed by the conviction of a keeper of a similar place in Montreal.Ferbum sap, Tux lagtor FiRnps of Orangeville are rapidly maturing tho Canadian mind for\u2019 prohibition.A majority of Canadians want prohibition now, but a majority of our wenators want à geod desl of converting, Probably a few more dynamite shots will convince every one of them who isnot morally bad or else connected with the liquor busi: ness that that business ought to be completely hanished from the land.Meantime, it is important that Mr.Anderson should not be tho loser.It is important that the liquor tiends should not have tho triumph of injuring the individuals ageinat whom they conapire.All temperance workers should be contributors to an insurance fund that would give every dynamited person better than what he loses, This method would probably put a stop to dynamite.Without aay organization it will be easy to give effect to this cure by voluntary subscription of » sufficlent sum to make Mr, Anderson, financially st leant, the gainer by the outrage upon his home.The publishers of the Witness will be glad to receive and acknowledge all sums sont for this purpose.The fact that these liquor flends have not been caught must remain a blot on the police system of Ontario.Such culprits when cœught should be flogged.Heing scarcely human, no other form of pan- ishment wquid meet their oase, but that would, A Crow rises (rom the Government organs over the defeat of onmmercial union in Îlaldimand County, but it is nowhere stated that that question was in issue there.Mr.Laurier, the Opposition leader, took part in that campaign, end if he had taken sides on the question of commercial union we should have heard aboutit, The great point at Haldimaod wes Mr.Laurier's gun-not any gun that Mr.Laurier ever had, but the one ke would have shouldered had he been at Batoche.The declaration of fire premiers fh favor of unrestricted reciprocity is probably » larger straw to show bow the wind blows in Canada than the Haldimand elec: Mon.The real hindrance fo the way of that move which we have not hesitated to say would confer immense benefit on both œun- trios, in not the, farmers of Canada, but the United States House of Lords, which seems to be as sbetructive of sll measures tending to freedom from class rule as is the Kag- lish House of Lords.The hope of suoosssfu) treaties with our neighbors lies in the Prohl bition party of the United States, which is rapidiy nodermining the Republican olf.gareby.amended registration act, by which the natives are deprived of the franchise to « great | degree, they are unatle to defend themselves at the polls.A delegation has been appointed which will visit England for the purpose of laying the whole case before the British Government.[{ the British Government cease to rule native peoples justly, and if England sacrifices their intervsts, whether apiritoal or material, to what she considers her own material interests, the conscience of the English people will shortly forbid British rule aver native tribes altogether.Tne Grotxns upon which the Hoyal Clyde Yacht Club has withdrawn its last challenge for the America Cup, and pronounced the new conditions under which all races for the America Cup unsportsmanslike, are probably the clauses practically restricting the challenges to one class of yachts, the A or first class.Vessels such as the ** Volunteer \"\u201d and the * Thistle * are certainly magnificent racing crafts, but unless their rig is changed, they are useless for ordinary cruising.They are very expensive to build and ian, and itis doubtful whether they can be \"timed \u201d as fino as can à smaller vessel.The smaller cutters have always done better in conflicts with the centreboards than the larger boats, and the New York Yacht Club'eaction in restricting the challenge to first-class yachts, practically rules out the fastest types of British racers.The withdrawal of the challenge issued immediately after the defeat of the |\u201c Thistle \u201d looks remarkably like an admission of defeat.ONE OF THE NATURAL IxbUsTRIES the National Policy hae succeeded in rendering beautifully less is the Canadian lake marine.At one time the largest and finest vessels on the lakes were Canadian, the whole inter.vational trade was in the hands of Canadians, and the American navigation law was the only thing that prevented them doing the American coasting trade as well.The National Policy has reduced the international trade considerably, and it has discouraged ship building.As a result, while the Amo- rican shipyards can hardly supply enough vessels, many of them of great size, driven by triple expansion engines, the Canadian shipyards are idle and the Canadian fleet is decaying.The protectionists acknowledge this, but instead of admitting that the remedy in to be found in tho destruction of the bonds that prevent Canadians from competing freely with the Americans, they demand the subsidizing of the shipyards by the Untario Government.Ax Araurnp ORDER has been issued by the United States Poat.office Department that all parcels of papers or goods having advertise ments or other extrancous matter on the Inbel shall be charged letter postage.Many persons in the United States have been fined heavily in \u2018this way for doing what hae always been considered lawful before, and there is likely to be a storm of indignation all over thecountry if the obnoxious order is not medi- newspaper office was actually charged eleven rules.their gift of healing might be need after the Gospel fashion ss an introduction to the Gos.that It would seem as though the plan only fled.Canadians sending parcels aeroes the Unes should be careful to put nothing but the address on the wrapper.A parcel centaining three copies of the postal guide, mailed by the United States Post office Department to a coute postage, because the words *' 3 copies\u201d were printed under the address, showing that the Department does not follow ita own Tus Ipza that missionaries should, when possible, have à medion! education, eo that pel iteslf, has so much of common vence to it needed to be presented to the churches to revolutionize their practice on the subject.The * missionary societies generally accept à medi- , cal education in lieu of n theological one, and where a choice must be made the medical missionary would appear to have the advantage in many fields over his theolugical brethren, Where a may or woman Is other.wisc fitted for the duties of the mission eld.a medical education superadded, provided always the candidate is adapted to that kind of service, would bo an caormous gain.Mu.CUAMBKRLANN'S AssUMETION that lister us a province was opposed to Home Rule, has led to à discussion iu which it appears that at the general clections 121,000 voles were cast against and 106,000 for Home Rule i The election lists were two years old, and the \"revised lists will, it is said, favor the !fome Rulers.Several Iiome Rulers and Conger: vatives were retuned unopposed, however, and there is some wrangling as to which way the inajorities in those constituencies would have told on the general result.That forty- seven percant of the votes cast in Ulster, as well as a majority of the representatives, were in favor of Home Rule, seems to imply that Ulster is not eo anti-ilome Rule ns it isrepre- sented to be.Even the Unionists are opposed to separation from the rest of Ireland.It Is Expiaisu that the reason why Canada has to pay three vente for letter postage while the United States pays two is the vost of the mail service io the\u201cNorth- West.The third cent in every stamp isa present to the North-West Territories.The North-West people should consider this and send wbat businees they can this way.We should like à good wany subscriptions from that region.lo the United States the change from three cents to two caused a very considerable loss of revenue, but it is now nearly made up by the increase of business.We do not see why the same result should not follow here.Tue Bes wold nng which wili last lifetime at tbe nominal price of $100.Hold guild goes are desirable fue tecsenta, 84 they nerve 80 CTCTIARINE remembrance of the'givee This 18 a

also by timing the lamba to come in early, 90 ne to take the top price, when ** lamb and mint sauce\u201d are in demand ; and, further, with an established flock, by a due proportion of fat wethers, Moreover, by augmenting the soil fertility .more sheep can be kept to the acre.in Fagland eight sheep to the acre is said to be no uncommen thing.But that is with \u2018 high [arming,\u201d of which, aa yet, we have but little in this country.The beauty of it is.however, that sheep.keeping can be, aud is, prefitab\u2019e under the off conditions of low farming, and is (tell an up: grade movement, One great obetacis to sheep farming, perhaps the greatest in this country, is the dog nuisance.It ie worst in the neighborhood of towns and cities, and yet farmers in such looalities are more in the habit of keeping abeep than those who live farther eut in the country.The depredations of dogs are felt more severely by thom who keep high-class \"flocke, than by those who are content with that he ** looked well to his flocks and herds.\u201d on the real value of a superior animal.Notwithstanding this, the beat flocks ure usually kept in the vicinity of railway centres, where buyers can have ready access, and where ship ments can be easily nade, and these are the localities where there is inost danger to bu apprehended from dogs, Much van le dune by way of abating thie nuisance, if proper steps are taken.In the tirst place, there is necded among farmers themselves a public sentiment against keeping useleas, ill trained ours.If a dog is Leptat all ou a farm hi should be a good one, taught tu know his place and to do his duty.A pup needs breaking in as much as a cuit, and even more.Mont of the accidents with horses result from the animals not being trained properly, and the sume is true of the troubles caused by dogs, It is such a formidable task to educate à «og, that it should only be undertaken with really valuable ones.Again, only such breeds of dogs should be kept on farms as are free from shoep-killing propensitien, There are such, and none others should be tolerated about a farm.Further, moasures should be adopted to detect sheep killing dogs, and destroy them.An Indiana farmer thus relates how he did it: ** We had à high enclosure a dog could not climb ; à shed run niog along one side of it, dropping down low, not more than three feet from the ground, covered with boards standing back tiftecn feet, and having an elevation of six or seven feet at the outer extremity.A dog looking around the roof could see the sheep, and just as soon as he jumped down among them he discover: that he euuld not get out.On making this «liscovery he did not want any mutton, and we sacrificed every deg we found in the sheep yard,\u201d Nine-teaths of the dogs that infest both town and country could casily be spared.Everyone of them costs at least aus much as a sheep to maintain it.No animal should be tolerated anywhere that is not worth its keep.\\\\ hat a gain it would be to uational wealth, if nine-tenths of the dogs in the land could be converted into shevp! And then there is the lessening of the risk of that much-to-be-dreaded disease, bydropho- bia.How many dogs would it take to equal in value one precious human life sacrificed in this way It ia really wonderful that society docs not take minre ciective means to protect itself against so great a peril.When good practical omen sense comes to be in the ascendant, there will be far fewer degs in the world and far mere sheep.Lene, FARM GLEAMING, Tue Farmer Wuo Ne Le overage of an hour per day during the year is unwise, and it is of importan.that his employees be encouraged to read in the line of their work.AMoNG THE LATEST inventions in harvest ing machinery is that of Walter A.Wood, who has recently patented « straw-hinder.It it proves successful twine will yiell to straw as wire did to twine, Tue Saxe Eremests that bring financial success in the sie bring it in the country.The same traits of character are the foundation stoncs of prosperity and happiness every where.Farming does pay, when it should pay.A knowledge that is never satistied with its own attainments: an enterprise that continually submits tu good judgment: an energy that will not rest short of achieve.ment\u2014these bring success in agriculture, in manufacturing, or in commerce, Tug Live Yaxkee FAruer is a pushing and ambitious man.He prospers in a measure on the old farm, improves his land and buildings and lays by more or less capital, but he is not satisfied.Mis children are growing up and he wants Letter advantages for schorling.He wanta to live in or near some large town or city, and be more with moneyed men;
