APPOINTMENT OF MR.VANASSE.The Board of Trade feels sore over the appointment of Mr.Vanasse as shipping master.Its Council, backed by the shipping and mercantile interests of this port, recommended Mr.Ross; but the government must have thrown the memorial in the waste paper basket for nothing came of it.For political reasons another gentleman was appointed.That was why there was a large attendance on 'Change to-day for the meeting, which was called for half-past twelve o'clock.The interests concerned in the appointment were largely repregented and and 3 Hp .- Ur 6, the.president, occupied the chair and when the meeting was called to order the following gentlemen were noticed among those present: \u2014 Messrs.Andrew Allan, John Torrance, H.J.Joseph, G.W.Stephens, Robert Es- dafle, Robert Archer, D.A.Watt, Hugh McLennan, L.E.Morin, D.G.Thomson, Wm.Stewat, Jas.Allan, Alex.Mitchell, Chas.J.Baird, E.McLennan, E.F.Craig, A.H.Harris, A.Nicoll, Jas.Williamson, A.Burns, R.BE.Wight, J.J.Kirkpatrick, W.Olivier, J.Pinder, W.B.Smith, Jas.Scott, A.G.Scott, Jos.Robillard, R.White, W.Gear, Geo.Childs, H.W.Raphael, W.M.Campbell, J.BE.Rendell, A.Girard, J.O.Lafreniere, E.Judge, R.Peddis, Wm.Nivin, D.A.Me- Pherson, J.Baird, M.Hanan, E.Brice, J.Crowe, J.T.Scanlan, W.Marsan, P.S.Ross, À.L.Hurtubise, L.J.Smith, T.B.Brown, J.B.McLea, L.E.Morin, A.G.McBean, E.L.Bond, Alex.McFee, D.L.Lockerby, W.Cunningham.J.McLean.After the necessary preliminaries had been disposed of by the secretary, Mr.Hadrill, the president explained briefly the objects of the meeting.He said the petition of Mr.Ross was largely signed and was endorsed by the council.It was for the board to say what was to be done next in the matter.Mr.Andrew Allan arose and read the following resolution: \u2014 \u2018That the position of shipping master of this port is one requiring from its incumbent for the proper discharge of ita duties, experience and familiarity with shipping matters and customs, and should, in the opinion of this board, be filled in accordance with the wishes of the shipping and commercial community.That it appears that the shipping interests of this port have unanimously recommended to the government the appointment of a person who, in their opinion, possesses the qualification necessary for the proper dis- 3 pouncll of this board.This: boar circumstances, has learned with by under surprise that the government has decided to appoint to the position Mr.Fabien Vanasse, whose qualifications are not known and whose candidature has in no respect received the support or approval of those classes whose interests are intimately connected with the office and who ere called upon to maintain the same, and under these circumstances this board strongly urges the government to reconsider its decision in this matter, and to make the appointment suggested and approved of by the shipping interests and the council of the Board of Trade.\u2019 Mr.T.B.Brown seconded the .resolution, and someone asked that it be read over again.Mr.Hadrill read it again, and then there was quite a pause.The chairman put his thumbs in his armholes and looked enquiringly around the hall.The members looked enquiringly at each other for a few moments, and then Mr.R.Campbell Nelies stood UD and said he thought the Board of Trade should be more emphatic in its demands of the government.A great many questions were not takan up by the government that should be, and he always found that the Government treat- el the Board of Trade in a manner rot becoming a body of its character.The 3ugzestions thrown out by the Board of Trade had not recelved the attention tiev were worthy of.Alter another pause Mr.J.B.McLea aske if the fees were paid by the seaman.Tie president replied that he believed $23 was the case.Nothing more was said for a few mo- Men's, and the chairman broke tie speil by asking the meeting if :t was ready for the question.He asked twice and Fas about to call a vote, when Mr.G.W.Stephens rose and made a few remarks.He had often heard just before elections at dinners and great gatherings many fine things said of Montreal.This was the metropolis eof the Dominicn, and great were the merchants thereof.Thay were great and mighty.and would he led to believe that they had great influence at Ottawa.But after the elections, what then?Events went to prove that when any imporant question wus pr-sented to tbe zoverament the city %as entirely ignored.The pecple at Or- awa knew nothing about busiuess af- fers that affe-t tue port, and they should listen to the raymmerialicnz of lt; representative Lbudy.The time had Ce when the mer has of Monirea! stould assert themsel ces.The speaker then drifted into the cus- t\u2019ms matter and he let out a secret in Tespect to the Council of the Board of Trade.When he was a member of that body he could see that the feeling was that nothing should be said that would émbarrass the government.The Board oC Trade should be an independent body, Ont a political body, and it should pro- ote the interests of the commerce of 2, Country.He suggested that a board Où arbitration should be appointed by the 80 ernment to settle all matters of cus- Pa which have at present to be re- Ted to Ottawa, causing both delay 8d annoyance.ar D.A.Watt had always advocated ne abolition of this office of shipping a ter and he thought the council maw: pus take in listening to the requisition.Trad Office was not given to the Board of tor a tp fill.It was too petty a thing \u20acm to deal with.If a bad officer pA G31 was appointed it would be all the better, for there- would then be good reasons to havo the position abolished.It only added to the charges of the port and was unnecessary.Mr.A.G.McBean said it was not the importance of the office that the board was 80 much concerned about, as the principle involved.The resolution was put to the meeting and carried unanimously.Mr.A.G.McBean then moved the following resolution, seconded by Major Bond :\u2014 \u2018 That the senior member for Montreal be requested by the board to bring this question before the Dominion Government now in session, with the view to ascertain, in the opinion of the present representatives of the people, to what extent recommendations of commercial bodies, such as boards of trade and other organizations, directly connected with the duties to be performed by an offièfal whose appointment is under consideration should be adopted or ignored in comparison with the application and appointment of a purely political candidate.\u201cpokitionsa À HERD OF IMMIGRANTS.INTERESTING SCENES IN THE C.P.R.SHELTER FOR THESE POOR TRAVELLERS.\u2014 nd the meeting\u2019 dispersed.» Rembrandtesque at once in its virility and intense humanness, the scene this morning in the C.P.R.immigrant sheds was not unworthy the brush of the painter.Thrust, suddenly, into one apartment, \u2018a bundred and fifty men, women and children, and\u2014despite the severest conventional drill\u2014idiosyneracy, and temperament, and manner \u201cwill be developed and form an attractive study.Add what, to the onlooker, are the novelties of a foreign tongue, a startling frankness in dress, and an ingenuousness of manner to which his education has made him a stranger, and the study will deepen in interest.The German men, women and children are formed in family groups on the floor.Here is a family of six all eating soup out of a common dish, which is placed on the father\u2019s knee.The soup is MANIFESTLY AN EXTKAVAGANCE, for back of this group are a man and woman, who, munching dry bread and a raw herring, look with longing eyes at the steaming dish.Each group has its own peculiar interest.Near the door is an old woman, lying bread box.She is nearly seventy; ¥orousl¥y antl her ofd man puts his ragged overcoat over ler, looking.upon the greek od aT Peas; \u2018poor ôld face with a rough tenderness.Near the end of life, they have both uprooted themselves from the old foundations, and, with a courage AT ONCE RECKLESS AND PATHETIC, have determined to face a fresh environment in a free country.But the end is near, and the crowd look upon the withered figure with pity.Close to tha feet of the old woman are two children, careless of their bare limbs, playing.But most of the children are sick and weary, and their weak cries are constantiy heard.Great brawny fellows sprawl upon the benches, and sleep or vawn.Here is a mother dividing a black loaf of bread amongst the children with a Jack-knife.The raw herring shining in the fingers of the children, is eaten with voracious reiish.CORRESPONDENCK UNDER DIFFICULTIES : Alone, near the end of the shed, a young man is writing a letter home upon a dirty plece of paper.The task is hard, and the progress is slow, but his heart is in the work, and, unmindful of the cries around him, or the snoring of his immediate companions, he tells his hum- hle and wistful story to his friends in the Fatherland.Several young women arc combing their hair, and throw coquettish glances at the big fellows stretched on the form, which are lazily acknowledged.But most of the poor mothers would fain sleep, and their heads hang while the children pull at their skirts.They are unutterably weary and homesick.The old men have that stolid look which means that there is no longer any surprise in life.But the young fellows have hope and strength, and THEY LAUGH WITH THE GIRLS, and make rough, but perfectly candid and innocent love to them.which is resented not by the tépping reproof of an ivory fan, but by, in some instances, a re- scunding smack on the face delivered with a red, strong hand, that many a day in the German fields gathered in the harvest.It would be idle to note the absence of sweetness in the air.the frowsy belongings, the sights and signs that indicate a merely animal life.The humanness, the robustness and the pathos of the scene constitute the vital features.\u2014\u2014\u2014>\u2014 FIRE FACTS AND FIGURES.DETROIT, WITH A POPULATION THE SIZE OF MONTREAL HAS A BIGGER AND BETTER PAID BRIGADE.Some of the aldermen have declared our fire brigade too expensive.They have docked its proposed new steam fire engine, additional men and horses, etc.Chief Benoit has just received some figures of tbe Detroit brigade, which protects a city with a population about the same as that of Montreal.which prove that our brigade\u2019s cost and equipment is meagre compared with that of Detroit\u2019s.There they have 377 men, we have 186: they pay $349,125 in salaries, we pay $119,350.Their captains get $1,- 155, ours, $700; their hosemen, $900; ours $500 to $606; their ladder-men, $925, ours $6500 ta $600.Our fire calls are almost as numerous as those of Boston.Last year Boston had 850, Montreal 829, and Detroit 763.1 anol AARNE DIN OF upon the floor, with her head resting on

remembered by those who attended the annual show of the Hochelaga County Agricultural Society.The sun shone brilliantly, and the band played valiantly except at such times as it wus struck dumb in admiration of its surroundings.The surroundings were many and varied.There was the beautiful horse stepping through its paces with all the conscious airs of a girl with a new frock, maying plainly The stolid matter-of-fact bull, with the ring through his nose, eyed his\u2018keeper askance.Gorgeous turnouts turned up, with spick and span grooms, and yellow wheels.The gentleman sport was all about, arrayed in trousers of wondrous bagginess, rivalling the sleeves of the ladies.Natty grooms ornamented the landscape here and there, carrying horse rugs over their arms and chewing the inevitable straw.In the mind of the ~ TS .\u201c .ov - D, EN ff / a | Go 0% L//o ~{ FROM ONTARIO.spectator soma of the taper limbs of the sporting fraternity revived tle anciant joke of one being arrested for

the students at McGill College, but, owing to the earnest demand of the professors, will not be published until Saturday, to allow the authorities time to prepare the revised lists.The winners of the various medals awarded are as follows:\u2014The Earl of Aberdeen Gold Medal for proficiency in scientific languages was won by Mr.F.J.Day, who also carries off the Neil Stewart special prize in Hebrew.The Prince of Wales gold medal for mental and moral philosophy was captured by Mr.Angus Graham.The Chapman gold medal (classics) was won by Mr.D.T.Davis.The Shakespeare Gold Medal (English) goes to Mr.D.S.Moffat.Mr.R.M.Harper wins the gold medal for all-round proficiency.There was no medal given for mathematics as no student succeeded in obtaining first-class honors in the subject.There are no ladies among the prizewinners in this year's graduating class, and but one was awarded a special cer tificate.All of them, however, succeeded in passing for degree.Convocation will be held in the Windsor Hall next Monday afternoon, when the successful students will receive their degrees and the valedictory address will be delivered.Additional interest will be given to the occasion by the ceremony of conferring the degree of LL.D.on the Governor-General and the possible announcement of the new principal.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 me GUARDIANS OF SEIZED GOODS.Judge Champagne rendered an interesting judgment, this morning, on a rule taken against the guardian appointed to certain goods in a case of seizure.The defendant in the case referred to having been successful in quashing the seizure, notice was served upon the guardian to return the goods seized.This notice was not complied with, on the ground that the guardian was responsible to the bailiff only.Hence the present rule.In rendering judgment, the Court held that guardians are officers of the Court for the time being and cannot claim to be responsible to the bailiff only.They are rosponsibie to the bailiff in case the sale takes place, but when the seizure is quashed, they become responsible to the The rule in this case must therefore be Heclared absolute.terse CHIEF BENOIT'S SON HURT A son of Chief Benoit is a

item before the recent meeting of the Board of Chairmen was one for $14,325 \u2018City Hall engineer's repairs.\u2019 This item was referred bac: for more information.It turns out that only $486 of it is actually for engineer's repairs, the balance belnz made up cf such items as the following: Electric light fixturcs, $4,077; placing electric light in City Hall, §1.239; redecorating City Clerk's

WILL KEKP OPEN TILL COM- PELLEI) BY LAW TO CLOSE.The pool room men have notified the superintendent of police that they will not close until the law compels them to do 80; consequently there may be a long legal fight.The superintendent notified Chief Detective Cullen this morning to take actions out immediately against all owners of pool rooms.In Toronto it took many months before & similar case was tried, as the pool men got the case put back time and time \u2018| again, because, until they were convicted, they were allowed to remain open.The same dodge is being tried by pool men here.\u2018There can be little doubt that they will be convicted as the law they will be tried under is exactly the same as that which proved successful in Toronto.\u2014_\u2014\u2014 NAVIGATION NOTES.THE FIRST OCEAN STEAMERS COMING UP.The steamer \u2018Phoenix\u2019 passed Quebec last evening at 6.15 en route for this port.She will be the first ocean going vessel to arrive here, which she will probably do this evening.She left Mes- sina with a cargo of fruit on March 31 and appears to have had a prefty rough voyage.She was stuck in the ice in the [moving round opened.a passage, The

afternoon and will probably anchor in port to-morrow evening.She will thus be the first of the large passenger steamers to appear in the harbor.\u2014p\u2014\u2014 CHESS CHAMPIONSHIP.Great interest is being manifested by the local chess players in the resumption of the big chess match for the championship of the world.As already stated the final games will be played in Montreal in the parlors of the Cosmopolitan Club.Both Steinitz and Lasker are expected in town on Saturday, and play will begin on May 1.Although badly beaten in the last few games Steinitz has not yet lost courage, and many of the leading chess players in this city believe that he will yet come out all right.Steinitz's defeat up to this is attributed entirely to his ill-health.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE \u2018PHOENIX\u2019 COMING.Three Rivers, Que., April 26.-The first ocean steamship Inward this season is the \u2018 Phoenix,\u2019

business of the past year under the managément of Mr.William Dagg, secretary-treasurer, associated with the late Mr.Fred.Thibault, president, was very satisfactory to the shareholders present.The affairs of the company are considered to be in a healthy condition, the surplus of assets over lla- bilities, as own by the statement presented, amolnts to $15,677, an increase of $3,400 over the previous year.The directors met after the mesting and elected Mr.William Dag£ president and managing director.CITY ITEMS.A meeting of the Board of Chairmen to settle the appropriations has been called for to-morrow morning.The Finance Committee is to meet at three in the afternoon, to adopt the Board's report, and the Council on Monday (the last legal day) to accept it.The butchers of fHochelaga market have petitioned the city not to abolish the market as suggested by certain aldermen, but to enlarge it by an extension into Desery street, thus doing away with the present fire station.The inquest on the body of Stephen Rhodes, who stabbed himself {o death on Tuesday, resulted in a verdict of \u2018Suicide while insane.\u2019 The body lies at the morgue for further ideptification, and the coroner has writtan to places mentioned in papers found on deceased.There is a movement on foot among the retired members of the Prince of Wales Regiment looking towards the formation of a reserve association*in connection with this regiment.A meeting \u2018to discuss the matter has been -called for May 5 at 8.30 p.m., in the armory hall, Craig street.All who have served in-the regiment or in

LIVE ISSUE.\u2018Witness.\") Cttawa, April 62.\u2014 The Senate committee on insolvency met this moruing and elected the Hon.Mr.Bowell chairman, The room was a small one, and many could not even get inside.Most of the representatives of the press we:e in this position, no accommodation being provided.Delegations from the Boards cf Trade (Special to the out by selected Messrs.Hugn Blaine and D.E.Thompson, of Toronto, are largely responsible for the draft cof the bill, and their remarks, therefore, were not so critical as those of the others.Judge Hrvine, of Quebec, remarked that if a decision was arrived at that the bill should be proceeded with thev could then discuss detalles.Mr.Bowell said that the bill would be pushed through the Senate.Mr.Irvine objected strongly to official receivers being named in the bill and thought a government official would ba preferable, though still objectionable.He did not want the whole estate eaten up by expenses.Mr.H.A.Walker, of the Canadian Bank of Commerce, president of the Canadian Banker's Association, was heard.He explained the views of the bankers association.It was desirable that creditors SHOGLD APPOINT THEIR OWN LIQUIDATOR at the earliest possible moment.They differed with merchants in helding tha: an official receiver should have duties to perform.Manufacturing concerns might have to be carried on, and there should be some provision for the receiver exercising some discretion without going to the court.They objected to tha inini- mum of thirty-three cents as a basis of composition.The dishonest creditor would never pay more.Some bankers Were strong against allowing auy composition at ail Tradinz companies should be included in the bill and so not permit of small joint stock companies being wound up under the windin;-up act.He warned them not to pass a law which would encourage insolvency and fraud and crime.Bankers wou!d liz= to have a public officer whose duty it would be to approve of every dishing: and that he should be paid by levyiag a \u2018sMäN tä# upon every bankrupt estate.Senator Smith\u2014What value would vou place on securities of vankrupts held bv banks.Mr.Walker\u2014We do not quarrel with those provisions of the bill.He also on- posed the placing of farmers and graziers cn a different footing in the bill from others.He opposed applying the act at all to farmers because it would destroy their free borrowing powers.MR.GEORGE HAGUE.General Manager cf the Merchants\u2019 Bank, Montreal, said that the provisions that a majority and three-fourths in value should control and that thirty-three centg should be the minimum of composition, and the provisions for discharge comprised the bill.All the rest were details.He contended they sbould make discharge difficult and make the insolvent pay for it.The Montreal delegation present were Messrs.Jas.A.Cantlie, ©.B.Green- shields, C.F.Smith, A.L.Kent, T.J Drummond and J.D.Rolland.Quebec city was represented by Messrs.Thomas Brodie, Judge Irvine and Cha- teauvert, E.Dupre and E.B.Garveau, At a prior meeting of the delegates, the following resolution was carried: \u2018That no insolvency legislation will be acceptable that dees not substantially secure to the creditors the right to say who shall be the liquidators or assignee of the estate in all cases.\u2019 \u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 PARANAGUA HELD BY

JUDICIAL, ' running smoothly of late, in the Club MEETING OF THE MONTREAL BRANCH OF THE NATIONAL ORGANIZATION, There was a large attendance of ladies in Fraser Hall yesterday afternoon at the meeting of the Montreal Women's Council.With the exception of an address by Mrs.Drummond, the president, on \u2018 The fundamental aims and principles of the movement,\u201d the business of the meeting was chiefly the reception of the reports from the various committees and sub-committees, and the report of the National Council at Ottawa.This last document was submitted by Mrs.Mac- Naughton.The business-:ike directness of the proceedings, and the congratulations due the Montreal delegation, were commented upon.A brief resume of the various papers, read at the council, was also given.The result of the council was to teach them what was the true scope of their work and to strengthen their faith in the possibilities of women.It had sent them back to their homes with broader minds, more tolerant spirits and more loving hearts.The president's address was an interesting outline of the aims and principles of the association.She combated the oft repeated declaration that women have no interest in things outside the domestic circle.While home would ever be woman\u2019s chosen kingdom, yet they would order it with greater wisdom, truer love and more intelligence by knowing their.duties as citizens and women bciter.They were in no sympathy with women who forgot their sex or women who were continually depreciating their fellow-women.They had the interests of th?world at heart.While not posing as reformers they were ever ready to lend their help where remedy was needed.Women best fill their position by working for the elevation of women.The aim of the organization was that they should benefit by the sympathy of each other and by a fuller knowledge of the work they had to perform.Science comes with the assurance that the visibns of upward.prorress of the race were leading towards a fuller day.To help towards this time was the aim of the Women\u2019s Council.Mrs.Ashley Carys-Wilson spoke at some length in support cf petitioning the various legislatures to enact a law for the appointing of women inspectors for factories wherever women were employed.Women laborers suffered much owing to the bad regulations in the average factory.This could be to a large extent remedied by the appointment of women who would have the authority to visit workshops and make reports on the condition and wants of the women workers.Mrs.Robert Reid submitted the quarterly report of the committee of educational art and musical institutions.This coverad the work done in the Mackay Institute, Association of Decorative Ari, Morning Eby mao Musical Shab, Society 0L] Asia : ze 1) i Eee 1° Ch \"0 où Mrs.W.Evans\u201d 8 report save a brief resume of the work done by the various church societies.Mrs.Workman then addressed the meeting on the National Council at Ottawa.The papers read had all been of the highest order.This was especially true of those submitted by the Montreal contingent.Aa report of the work of St.Margaret\u2019s Home for Incurables snd other charitable institutions for invalids was submitted by Mrs.Sanderman, and that on the various infant and orphan asylums by Mrs.À.T.Drummond.All the reports were well received and confirmed.The next public general meeting was fixed for the last week of September.The proceedings of the National Women\u2019s Council at Ottawa, will be published in book form.\u2014\u2014 PLAINLY DRESSED WAS HE.INTERESTING SCENE IN A ST.JAMES STREET BOOKSTORE.Time\u2014Last Friday afternoon; place, Grafton\u2019s bookstore, St.James street; en- tr a plainly dressed gentleman of affable manpers.Miss C\u2014 (young and vivacious sales- 20y)\u2014'What can I do for you?Plainly dressed gentleman\u2014\u2018Some scrap borks, please.\u2019 Miss C produces the articles requir- el.at the same time the gentleman takes à eat and looks over the specimens; a liveiy conversation continuing throughout \"1?operation, led off by plainly dressed Betlleman as follows: \u2014 - PD.G.\u2014What beautiful weather.Ton seem to.have been not long in this \u2018Ountry.How do you like the climate?The country, I might s Y.& V.8.\u2014Indeed, can hardly say; I have not been long out from England.Somehow I feel there is no place like one\u2019s home\u2014indeed, I sometimes get quite homesick; so much so I can hardly see mysel£.P.D.G\u2014I myself am from the old land, but it is Scotland.I, however, know England well, having lived there.I also know Canada pretty well\u2019 having lived in it some time.You myst keep Lp and make the best of it; we all have tn do so.\u2018 Enter at this point young Mr.Grafton, \u201cho evinces a pleasing surprise at the situation and calling aside .his saleslady asks her if she is aware who she is talk- a to.&.V.S.\u2014No, sir.Mr, G.\u2014That is the Earl of Aberdeen, Governor-General of Canada!

the city.A short time ago, the president of the club, Mr.Pierre Dansereau, tendered his resignation, it being held in certain quarters that he was induced to take this step on account of dissatisfaction among some of the members, with the result of the Liberal demonstration on the Exhibition Grounds, last fall.It is alleged that Messrs.Mercier and Marchand were appealed to on behalf of Mr.Dansereau, and that they sent representatives to urge that the president's resignation be not accepted.The resignation was duly ac- ceptad, however, and Mr.Emile O'Leary, a law clerk in Mr.Mercier\u2019s office, was elected president.It appgars that an effort has since been made to organize an opposition club, but the scheme was finally abandoned.At a meeting of the club, held last night, the new president occupied the chair.One of the leaders of the Dansereau faction having declhred that they had decided to accept the new president for the sake of harmony, Mr.O'Leary is reported to have replied that he cared little whether his opponents would accept him or not, having been elected by a majority of the members.Four of five of the opposition members then left the room.+ \u2014\u2014\u2014æ STREET CAR CHANGES.On Saturday some changes will take place in the Street Railway routes, but without altering the present service.The Windsor and St.Lawrence street lines will be amalgamated, and thé St.Lawrence street cars will run out to Cote St.Antoine and back over the \u2018same route taken at present by the Windsor street cars.This will give a through line from the extreme west end of the city to the north-east, through all the central business district.The St.Catherine street through line, which at presedt stops at Greene avenue, will continue on through the Cote and round by the loop, while the lately inaugurated Bleury and St.Catherine street cars will stop at Greene avenue.This will give the Cote St.Antoine people a four-and-a-half minute service.rr fr DAMAGES CLAIMED.Mr.J.P.Marien, notary, and Mrs.Marion have each taken actions of damages against the city for $3,650 and $4,100 respectively.The actions are based on damage caused to

OUSTOM OF HIS SUBORDINATES, Taking up subscriptions to give presents to police sergeants, has been very popular in police circles during the past two years, Owing to recent complaints made against the system, and internal dissensions arising out of the difficulties.concerning the amount of money collected, the chief of police a few dayg ago decided that the custom\u2014which has been in vogue only during his reign\u2014must come to an end, and had an order put in the police regulation book that in future no officers were to take up subscriptions for presentations to sergeants unless they first obtained an order from the superintendent of police.7 On looking over the book of rules, the.superintendent found that there Was an order against such subscriptions being taken up during the time Mr.Paradis was chief of police.The new order, consequently; is simply putting the old rule into force once more.Complaints have recently reached the \u2018Witness,\u2019 from business men, against what they term the levying of this special tax.One communication received, reads:\u2014 \u2018I am a business man in the west.end ot the city; some few weeks ago I was called upon by a policeman and \u2018asked for à sub\u201c scription for the benefit of the sergeant in charge of the district.Now 1.considered that I was already heavily enough taxed, but I well knew that if I refused I \u2018should be put to disadvantage in my business, My neighbor, having subscribed, would bé allowed to make all the display he chose of his goods on the sidewalk, and I should have to keep mine inside my shop door.Of course, I subscribed, and am aware that most of the business men in this neighborhood did the same, saloon-keepers included.\u2018I happened to mention this additional tax to a friend of nine; his reply was, \u201cOh, that's nothing new! I have been similarly taxed for the beneñt of the sergeant in charge of this district some time ago.\u201d \u2018I think we are taxed heavily enough in order to pay these officials a \u2018good salary without a special tax levied for each new.sergeant that takes charge of the district.\u2019 \u2018I am reliably - informed -that- the .police~ men doing duty under this officer\u2019 were similarly taxed for his benefit à few weeks- before the general tax was levied upon the public.It may be asked how an officer can enforce discipline over men whom he] has both taxed, and employed as tax- gatherers, for his benefit, and how either saloon-keepers, and perhaps gamblers also, ss from whom they have solicited and received subscriptions.\u2019 \u2014One of the Sufferers.and that not only are business men tax-' ed, but saloon-keepers are called upo am they.are known to bé most liberd giver When interviewed a police official said to the writer, \u2018 This custom of policemen taking money from salooh-keepers is a most pernicious one; for how can an officer, after he has taken money from a saloon-keeper, see that the license laws are vigorously enforced against him ?It is a shame that such a custom should have been allowed to exist so long.\u2019 About two weeks ago there was trouble in No.11 station, Hochelaga, which arose out of this popular police custom.Sergeant Baignet, in charge of the station, had a subscription taken up for his benefit in the manner complained of.Everything worked well; the presentation was a glorious success and liquor flowed freely.It was after the festivities were over that the shades of distrust and sus- \u2018picion darkened the brow of Sergeant Baignet.All day long, with monotonous persistency, there rang in his ears the \u2018words, \u2018You have not been given all the money that the collectors obtained for you.\u2019 He made enquiries and his suspicions increased until finally he decided it was time to enquire of one of his subordinates who had collected the attractive dollars if he had not made a slight mistake, a very slight mistake, when he presented the precious hoard, and forgotten\u2014 mind you, fogotten\u2014to give all of it.Although couched in such diplomatic terms as these the subordinate hotly resented the aspersion cast upon the accuracy of his memory, and in no uncertain terms made known to his superior that every dollar he had collected from saloon- keepers, merchants, policemen, and a host of others had been honorably banded over.This haughty reply pleased not Sergeant Baignet, and once more ominous clouds darkened his brow and he angrily told his subordinate what he thought of him.Day after day fierce discord reigned in No.11 station until rumors of the Jiscord reached the ears of the chief of all the police, and then he decided to put into force the rule that for so long had laln dormant, against policemen levying taxes for presentations.-\u2014\u2014\u2014 A TRAGEDY AT WATERTOWN.Watertowa, N.Y., April 26.\u2014The village of Adams, about fifteen miles from here, was the scene of a horrible crime this morning, resulting in the death of Will C.Green and the probable fatal injury of the woman with whom he had lived for a number of years.About six o\u2019clock Green sent his son, aged about eleven years, to a neighbor's.to borrow a harrow, and when the boy returned he found his father amd mother lying on the floor in pools of blood; the man with his throat cut in two places from ear to ear, and the woman with a broken skull.The indications are that it was à caso of murder and suicide, although the woman may recover.The woman was the daughter of a \u2018faÿmer in an adjoining town, and | the femilies on both sides are respectable.; ENGLISH BIGHT HOUR MOVEMENT.London, April 26.\u2014In the House of Commons yesterday the eight hours\u2019 day bill for miners, introduced by Mr.John H.Roby, Liberal, one of- the members from \u2018Lancashire, passed its second reading by a vote of 281 to 194.The measure was not considered a party\u2019 question and the Ministers voted accordoing to their individual opinions, officers or men can enforce the laws agalnst*} Enquiries show that the above is true| Inverness, Que., April 25.\u2014The services In tho Presbyterian Church last Sabbath were of more than ordinary interest, it being the tenth anniversary of the pas- | torate of the Rev.James Sutherland.Despite the unfavorable condition of the roads and the inclemency of the weather the people turned out well, some travelling six and seven miles through mud and melting snow.Mr.Sutherland preached an appropriate sermon, based upon Col.i., 28-29, at the.close of which he briefly reviewed the work of his ministry for the past decade, making special reference to the many changes which had taken place in the congregation in those years.A hundred and forty had united with the church on profession of faith and seven by certificate, making a total of 147.Two of these are now i nthe ministry of the Canada Presbyterian Church, a third is pursuing his studies with the ministry in view; two have entered the medical profession dnd are living exemplary Christlan lives, and three are now students of McGill College, Montreal, preparing themselves for professional life.There had \u2018been ninety-seven baptisms, thirty-seven marriages and 108 deaths during the teh years.On Monday evéning the members of the C.E.Society, to the great surprise of Mr.Sutherland and his family, continued the aniversary services by taking actual possession of the manse laden with many good and valuable gifts, the principal one being an exquisitely beautiful timepiece.The presentation was made by Mr.John B.Campbell and the following address was read by Mr.John Mc- Cammon, president of the Y.P.S.C.B.: To Mr.and Mrs.Sutherlani\u2014 , We, the members of the Christian Endeavor Society of the Presbyterian Church, Inverness, on this, the tenth anniversary of your coming to\u2019 labor \u2018among us, have much pleasure in calling on you and presenting you with this cloik, as a xmall token of our esteem and appreciation of your services both as pastor and as friend.You have gone in and out among us the past ten years discharging your duties faithfully, and have always been ready.to go where duty called.Ir times of gladness we have found you ever ready to rejoice with us, and in times o® sorrow and bereavement your sympathy and consolation have been of more help to us than we can express.Our earnest prayer \u2018is that God may! prosper your future.lahors, and :that every blessing needful for your conifort and happiness may bs enjoyed by you and yours, and that you may be yet spared to labor among us for manv years to come.Yours for the Master -and the.Christian Endeavor Society.JOHN McCAMMON, President Y.P.S.C.E.April 23.1804, : Mr.Sutherland made an appropriate reply thanking the young friends for this, another expression of their kindness and good will.After a brief season of enjoyable conversation and some excellent vocal and instrumental music the ladies opened .their bundles and baskets, bountifully supplying all with refreshments.Thus & delightful evening \u2018was spent and the rgie between pastor and people made more Bacred and binding than ever before.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 CABLE NOTES.fsokA : deputation of coal mine owners 1\"called upon Lord Rosebery the other day to.present their reasons for opposing the eight kour bill.The Premier said he could promise nothing definite as to the action of the Government, as the minis try were not unanimous on the subject.Some of them, he said, would probably vote against the bill.In the House of Commons on Tuesday Mr.John Morley, Chief Secretary for Ireland, announced that the government were not prepared to insert in the Eviot- ed Tenants bill a provision compelling land-grabbers who refused to surrender their land to pay to the old tenant the full value of the holding.The House of Commons has approved the Government's proposition to reorganize the death duties by conselidating the probate, account, estate, legacy, and suc- ed the estate duty.| \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 * CANADA-REVUE.WHAT IT HAS TO SAY ON THE RECENT PROCEEDINGS.Referring to the recent hearing of its action against Archbishop Fabre the \u2018Canada Revue,\u2019 of His Grace with having since continued ex-parte arguments in the columns of a self-constituted religious organ, and then points out some of the features of this famous case.It holds that the conclusion to be derived froin the theories set forth by the \u2018ecclesiastical authorities in the course of the proceedings, is that laymen have but \u2018one right and one duty,and that is to submit.When the \u2018question is asked whence come such, exclusive powers claimed by the clergy, the reply is: \u2018Ego sum quia sum?! (I am because I.am.) The article adds that the insolent bmughti- ness.of such declarations caused an uncomfortable feeling among the audience and one could feel an atmosphere of revolt.That language of defiance went through the people and one does not perhaps realize the profound impression produced by it.Further on, the writer says that what most surprised men of law was the assertion made.by the archbishop\u2019s theologians that the Church had reconquered its liberties through the conquest, and that it \u2018had, consequently, under a Protestant Queen, more power and authority than under the great monarch \u2018tres ehretien,\u201d This, he adds, will cause our English friends to reflect, but it explains the unshaken loyalty of the Roman Catholic hierarchy towards the British Crown.It explains the subscriptions of 1805,\u2014the \u2018Te Deums\u2019 of Aboukir and Trafalgar, the subscriptions for the Nel: son monument, the pastoral letters of 1837.The writer ends by declaring that the ¢éase will not be dropped before all the , remedies allowed by the law are resorted to, and by a tribute te the impartiality shown \u2018by Judge Doherty during the course of the proceedings.rm tl = mm OLD BREWERY MISSION.The sewing school and Band of Hope sion will close thelr season\u2019s work with an entertainment to-morrow evening at eight o'clock, A good programme has been: provided.All will be welcome and admission will be free.Thore RA AN AAC A CR ER \"will be a collection, pm roma An Cession duties into one class, to be call-\" reproaches the supporters |: in connection \u2018with the Old Brewery Mis- | (Friday) |.(From Our Own Correspondent.) Quebec, April 25.\u2014In the Superior Court to-day in the great libel case of Angers vs.Pacaud, Judge Andrews dismissed the defendant\u2019s exception to the form attacking the ex-Lieutenant-Governor\u2019s legal right to call himself by his present name when he was baptized and registered under another.His Honor decided that Mr.Angers had a right to sue and be sued upder the name by which he has been commonly known.In the case of For- tier vs.Langelier, a suit by the Quebec ccllector of provincial revenue against the Hon.F.Langelier and the Hon C.Lan- gelier Lo recover the amount of their taxation as lawyers, judgment was given in favor of the defendants, who had pleaded compensation by a much larger sum due to them by the Crown fcr law fees, but which the government had refused to pay them.The defendants had also filed an incidental demand for the balance of their account, but the court decided that tho fiat of the Attorney-General was necessary and it was dismissed accordingly, THE NICOLET PROTEST.Attorney-General Casgrain declares that there is not one word of truth in the statements which ex-Premier Mercier is reported to have made recently at Ottawa, regarding the Nicolet bill.In support of this contention, he quoted from the statures of last session to show that the taxable property of Roman Catholics of the parish of St.Jean Baptiste de Ni- colet alone is liable for the tax to be imposed 1or repayment of the municipal Joan towards the rebuilding of the Roman Catholic Cathedral of Nicolet.Mr.Cas- grain also said that he could not remember any speech having been made by Mr.Mercier in the House in opposition to the measure, and that if such a speech had been made he would have remembered it.Besides there was nothing to speak about.The ratepayers of these municipalities were almost a unit in support of the bill.It is true Mr.Ball, who, by the bye, is not an English Protestant, as Mr.:Mercier states, but a Roman Catholic French- Canadian, and a very few others were opposed to the measure, but when the House saw that the vast majority of Roman Catholics had decided to tax themselves to the extent of $18,000, it simply ratified their desire.In conclusion, the Attorney-General said that he could only explain how Mr.Mercier came to make such a mistake, by remarking that he must have been talking through his hat.The first arrival from sea is always an event anxiously looked forward to here, and the crowds, which gathered on the Terrace and the river front last evening to greet the appearance of the

at Harvard, we are passing no judgment on the ultimate moral bearings of that proceeding.The drama has always been a great fact.In Greece and Rome it was the educator of the people, and the dramatic productions which bave come down to us from those days are the noblest we.possess.The question whether the theatre of to-day tends to morality or to immorality is a question not hard to answer.It is condemned alike by the Methodist and the Romanist.It is sald you can know a man by the company he keeps.If the surroundings.and associations of the theatre are any evidence of its charae- ter, it is bad, Can it be reformed and made a blessing to mankind?We do not Krow, \u2018and have not been called to the task.Ix the depravity of the stage essential or only accidental?Is the realistic presentation of to-day more liable to demoralize than the ancient declamation of matrical dramas through trumpets and with musical cadences ?These are questions which are reasonably open to discussion, and which the innocent recitation of the plays of Terence in Latin throw open for discussion, as we seem to be entering upon an era of classical revivals, and the enthusiasm with which such representations as those at Harvard, and recently at Toronto, have been received is likely to set them agoing wherever the various requisites are obtainable, especially a lot of fairly thorough classical students.rer McGill College is to be extended from six months to nine.The hitherto extra summer session is to be ineluded in the regular annual session, which will last \u2018from the twentieth of September to the twentie\u2018h of June.This great extension of the regular course is rendered necessary by the greater knowledge of our day, and still more by the time now devoted to laboratory work.The student of old got his knowledge from standard books.The student of to-day discards every book over twenty years old 1 and goes dtrect to nature for his best instruction.The new regulation will of necessity be imperative only on students entering after the announcement.The extension of the courges of the other faculties tQ match is mooted, and finds practical diffeulties in view of the summer oocupations of some students.The question has been raised why this long session is to commence toward the close of September instead of at the beginning of that month, in accordance with the usage of other institutions and of society generally, which makes such a stampede from the seaside at the beginning of September that the railways take off their summer trains at that time.Dr.Craik, the Dean of the Faculty, explains that in the observation of physicians this too early return from more bracing conditions to the sultriness of the city, which is often peculjarly trying in the beginning of September, is so disastrous that they cannot make themselves a party to it, and prefer to lead a movement to secure a general change, The session of the Medical Faculty of much favor, though it is attended with.THE MILK INSPECTION SCANDAL.: The evidence of the milkmen against Mr.Drouin, which, by the way, has been either ignored or wilfully misrepresented by most of the press, contained one fact on which the greater part of the reports have turned all the intensity of their reporting search-lights.One of the milkmen had for his own information submitted several samples of milk consigned to him to Dr.Baker Edwards for analysis, and, getting back in every case a sat- jisfactory report, he had adulterated one.sample with flour and baking powder, and still got back a satisfactory report.This matter is reported with great glee by papers which utterly suppress the evidence against Drouin, and set the pre- gent enquiry by the Health Committee forth as an apparently baseless prosecution of a Prench-Canadian by an English journalist.Whatever the motive for fortunately the \u201cWitness\u2019 can give the facts to the public, and the facts condemn the reports.As for Dr.Edwards's would appear that the only thing that was ever in question or analyzed for was the milk, or in other words, to find out or milk and water.The substances add-.wands, who apparently never emptied the bottle, would probably have made no difference whatever in the analysis for but- | ter fat.It is of no interest at present whether Dr.Hädwardss analyses were adequate or not, but it is interesting to enquire if the only thing our Health De- | partment needs to see to in the milk is whether it is diluted with waten As for the theory which these milkmen seem- to have formed under Mr, Drouin\u2019s sys\u2019 tem of analysis, that pure milk may have less than three percent of butter fat in it, that Is, in the case of Canadian cattle,\u2019 almost beyond the bounds of possibility.| res A DANGEROUS DEMAND.~} + It is reprehensible that the \u201cVerite,! | the organ of the Archbishop, should have, forced into public discussion a case whieht 18 \u2018in the Hands o£ à court by proposidak ons of the most dangerous innovations upon our free constitution which has ever been offered for the approval of cili- zens enjoying such constitutional liberty as we enjoy.Yet the \u2018Verite\u2019 makes bold to say that the French-Cana- dian people generally are in favor of having their liberties taken from them in the way insisted on by Mr.Talllon and Mr.Geoffrion in their capacity as lawyers.The claim is that a bishop should not be amenable to the civil courts for any act which he assumes to perform in Bis capacity as bishop.If this be not a fair definition of the demand which has been made in the courts we should be glad to know what imitations fits advocates would make to it.The demand of the \u2018Verite\u2019 iz that, should our courts, or the Privy Council on appeal from them, declare that a bishop has ne such immunities, Mr.Tafllon should immediately prepare legislation that would confer upon bishops such immunity from being brought before the courts.Canadian tribunals are strengthened in giving con- seientious decisions in the face of the most overpowering social influences by a sense that these, and these only, will ke sustgined by the Privy Council, whose unbiagsed justice is the palladium af-our liberties.The \u2018Verlie\u2019 rejoices to think that even though the Privy Council itself should\u2019 condemn them, there is a power back of it thet will absolve and vindicate them.We ars not here touching on the real merits of the case now before the courts.We yield to none in the demand of absolute religious.liberty for all.What we claim: for ourselves we claim for the Archbishop, namely, the right to enunciata our rellgious and moral views without hinderance from anybody.This.is a right which our constitution guarantees to every citizen, upder the sole limitation that in doing #0 he shall not wrong a fellow citizen, Further immunittes than this our law gives to no one, and it 1s the demand of the \u201cVerite\u2019 that any class of citizens shall be placed outside of the operation of the law which administers equal justice to all that we are torced to condemn in unmeasured terms.\u2018

PHORMIO\u201d IN BOSTON.COLLEGE PRESIDENTS AND LATIN PROFESSORS WEBE PRESENT IN LARGE NUMBERS\u2014 HARVARD BTUDENTS MAKE A SUCCESS OF THE PLAY.Last Thursday evening, after an interval of 2065 years since its flrst performance in Rome, the \u2018 Phormio\u2019 of Terence was reproduced in Sander\u2019s theatre of Harvard University by a company of Harvard stydents.Ever since the \u2018Oedipus Tyrannus\u2019 of Sophocles was performed in the same theatre with great success, the Latin department has desired to give something similar, to create a greater interest in Latin literature and antiquities.There was no doubt of the pure ANTIPHO.delight which the play afforded the distinguished audience that witnessed it on the opening night.In the assembly were many invited guests; college presidents and Latin professors were the rule rather than the exception.The enthu- slasm inereased with each performance, till at its final production the audience went wild with delight, and thrice the -Curtain rose and fell, and the actors and \u201cYt profeasors in charge bowed their acknowledgments.The conditions under which the play was brought out were very favorable.Sander\u2019s theatre is itself classie in contour.There is the same semicircular orchestra (in which the Roman Senators sat), the benches (not chairs) slope from \u2018wround: thé orchestra in | \u2018stairs between.It has also a handsome \u2018hack wall with a Latin inscription, to- gother with the low Roman stage.\"Rat, alas! the roof is permanent.The Latin professors must have reluctantly omitted the : \u2018VELA ERVNT' (\u2018there will be an awning\u2019) from their Latin posters.For everything was in PHORMIO.Latin, from the beginning to the end.As you entered the large memorial hall, leading to the theatre, your eye was first greeted with \u2018PERMISSV CVRATORVM VENEVNT .LIBELLI\u2019 \u2019 English Spoken.The long programme was in Latin,with all needed information as to the plot of \u2018Phormio,\u2019 the characters, etc., and hav- fng at the end this : brief statement :\u2014 \u2018Statim post spectaculum carrl aderunt qui ui seminum fulmineerum spectatores in urbem uiclnam abripiant.\u2019 (\u2018Immediately after the performance carriages will be ready,which, by the force of the light- ding\u2019s seeds will hurl the spectators into the neighboring city\u2019).This reference to the Cambridge electric cars is probably the first time that these vehicles have ever been mentioñed in Latin.The costumes were one of the most pleasing features of the performance, and every detail was earefully attended to.\u2018They were as nearly as possible like those of the ancient Roman actors, which closely resembled the.Greek costumes of every-day life.For, lke all Terence\u2019s lays, the \u2018Phormio\u2019 is an adaptation rom a Greek original: the scene 18 laid in Athens, and the characters gre Greek.All the men, excepting Phaedria and An- tipho, wore an inner tunic and an outer palllum.The two young men, by way HBIC .There was a pleasing variety of both kind and color of fabrics used, to indicate the social rank of the personages.The \u2018}'dress of the young gentlemen, for

SPEAKER'S RULING.sn LAURIER OITES OTHER INSTANCES FOR WHICH NO REDRESS WAS GIVEN IN WHICH THE OPPOSITION SUFFERED\u2014MR.POPE TO BE HEARD UNDER OATH BEFORE THE PUBLIC ACCOUNTS COMMITTEE.(Special to the \u2018Witness.\") \u2018Ottawa, April 26.\u2014On the opening of the House yesterday afternoon an unust- al and interesting subject was brought to the attention of the House, by the First Minister.On Monday, in discussing Mr.Charlton's speech, in which he argued that the government was not sincerely desirous, as they assert, of obtaining a treaty of reciprocity with the United States, Mr.Kenney used the argument in reply that Mr.Laurier and Sir Richard Cartwright were annexation- ists, even going so far as to hold \"Mr.Laurier responsiblé for Senator Ëher- man's speech, in favor of extending the sway of the Stars and Stripes northward to the Arctic Sea.This attempt to stigmatize members of the House as disloyal and false to their cath of office was clearly out of order, but Mr.Speaker did not stop Mr.Kenny, and so Dr.Lan- derkin, in replying to Mr.Wallace, retorted by asserting that Mr.Wallace had uttered disloyal sentiments in the House and that Mr.Kenny had made a speech defending Mr.Wallace's utterances.The Speaker called Dr.Landerkin to order and although the doctor protested, prevented him from continuing his remarks.Sir Richard Cartwright then said that the ruling was unfair and that different treatment was meted to the Opposition than to the Ministerialists.Mr.Muloek also protested, and talked about appealing against the Speaker to the House.AN OBNOXIOUS ARTICLE.The matter went no further.Next day the Ottawa \u2018Free Press\u2019 came out with an article characterizing the Speaker\u2019s conduct as \u2018partisan.\u2019 The article also declared that Mr.White was a subservient presiding officer.To-day Sir John Thompson directed attention to the article and made a long speech.He referred to the occas described above and held that Mr.Speaker was right in his ruling.But aside from that point it was forbidden to assail the motives of the Speaker, or attribute to him anything but strict impartiality in the chair, otherwise the chair would lose that implicit respect necessary for the preservation of order.Mr.Speaker was not infallible and to err was human, but if ® have stopped Mr.Kenny, but when he allowed him to take the line he did_ he should not have stopped the reply of Dr.-Landerkin on the same line.It is true that there is an appeal to the House from the ruling of the Speaker, when he is wrong, but that is a fruitless appeal, as the majority of the House on either side would always sustain the chair in repressing a member of the Opposition.The article in the \u2018Free Press\u2019 simply said in terms too strong what Sir Richard Cartwright and Mr.Mulock said in thoir places in the House, so that it was the game feeling of resentment, though expressed in unmeasured language.The remedy is to carry on the political struggle with fair weapons.It was no reply to Mr.Charlton's speech in favor of extended trade with the United States to say that Mr.Laurier was disloyal, and an annexationist.That was the cause of the whole trouble.AN OPPOSITION VICTORY.Mr.Laurier moved to take up the question of the refusal of tho majority of the Public Accounts Committee to examine Mr.Joseph Pope under oath respecting the Behring Sea arbitration expenses.Sir.C.H.Tupper, however, who had been most strenuous at the committee in opposing the motion, now rose and moved that M:.Pope be examined under oath.Mr.Laurier told Mr.Tupper that he had taken a very roundabout way of | arriving at.the goal, but he had at last arrived at it.Mr.Mills remarked that this was a case of Davy~Crockett\u2019s coon, which came down before the fainous hunter fired.Mr.Campbell brought up the matter of the dismissal of Mr.Timothy Mc Queen, a fishery overseer in the county of Kent, Ontario.The only charge the Minister of Marine could sustain was that Mr.McQueen had at the last election voted against the government candidate.Sir C.H.Tupper said that Mr.Mc- Queen has always been considered favorable to the government in politics and opposed to Mr.Campbell.The papers would disclose the merits of the case.The motion for papers was c NORTH-WEST SCHOOLS.After recess the adjourned, debate on the schools question was resumed by Brodeur, who blamed the government for not disallowing the North-West ordinance.He quoted Father Leduc\u2019s charge that the government employed false pretences in ordep- to deprive Roman Catholics of their rights.He claimed that the North-West school question should have been referred to the courts as well as the Manitoba school question.He asserted that the first person to raise this school issue had been Mr.Craig, the member for East.Durham, who when a member of the Ontario Legislature, raised san agitation against separate schools.Mr.Taylor moved- the adjournment of the debate and the House adjourned.ere TEMPERANCE GROCERS.A MHETING TO-NIGHT TO CONSIDER WAYS O ENCOURAGING PROPLE TO SUPPORT THEM.The meeting this evening at eight o'clock, in the West End

consistently with his dignity and position.The article having been read at the table Sir John Thompson moved: \u2018That the article published in the Ottawa \u2018Free Press,\u201d on April 24, and read at the table is a scandalous, false, and malicious libel upon the honor, character and integrity of the Speaker of this House, and in contempt of the privileges and ,constitutional authority of the House.\u201d This was seconded by Sir Adolphe Caron.MR.LAURIER\u2019S VIEWS.Mr.Laurier agreed as to the necessity of upholding the honor of the head of the House, and would go further and say it was -équally imperative to do everything to preserve the dignity of the House itself by maintaining the character of individual members when attacked in the press.He was not ready to subscribe, however, to the whole of the resolution.Part of the article was given as an illustration of the partisanship of Mr.Speaker\u2014the fact that he had attended a Conservative meeting the other day at Pembroke to nominate a candidate for the Legislature and made a speech, In this connection the article called Mr.White a \u2018 Tory heeler.\u2019 Mr.Laurier said that this was a reference Lot to Mr.White as Speaker but to Mr.Peter White as a private member of the Conservative party, attending a Conser- Valive meeting and the resolution could Dot, therefore, apply to that portion of the article.He believed that the House Would not have had to listen to such a mous if in the past the House had laken more care of its own dignity.He Quoted several occasions where offenders a1 been whitewashed by the majority of the House.The Hon.Mr.Vail was \u201cantonly and bitterly assailed in the thief government organ, but although the attention of the House was called to it 2e action was taken.© Mr.Huntington Fas actually insulted on the floor of the House, and although the House took action the majority refused to censure the offender.If upon these occasions the House had passed sentence upon the offenders the position of the House would be different.Articles as offensive as this were appearing dally in the press in regard to the members of the House.He thought the motion went too far to have the concurrence of the whole House.If he motion had been confined to the >peaker as Speaker he would be disposed {à view it in a different light.The motion was put and carried on a division, THE ROOT OF ALL TROUBLE o! this kind is the disposition of the min- ane rlalists to wantonly charge the Lib- als with disloyalty and sentiments of bexation.Nothing is better calculated ; ah \u201ce rise to recrimfnation.Mr.Speak- : Istened in silence to Mr.Kenny, who Értainly violated the primary rules of aa ament in attributing to Mr.Laurier iy Sir Richard Cartwright sentiments on ugnant to a continuance of British same Jn Dr.Landerkin followed the Sar ne.except that instead of foisting à eu pr Sherman\u2019s annexation ideas on ember of the House he attempted to ver $ speech by Mr.Wallace, and an- the ay Mr.Kenny, both members of 15e, and both present to defend ves.Mr.Speaker, however, seemed cone suddenly conscious of the or of the rules of debate and this ¢ he made a mistake.He should themsel to bec Yiolati {3 wh House and time the aeing the support-of temperance grocers.Reports will be Feeofved from various committees.Members of temperance societies of that

moisture giving better outlook in many localities, notably in Kansas where improvement likely to equalize any drawbacks in California; replanting of oats accomplished; conditions generally favorable for corn seeding in North-West, delayed by excessive moisture.The trading in wheät on the Chicago market this morning was all done within the range of half a cent for May delivery.The opening was about steady with just a slight tendency to be easier.It, however, ®dvanced shortly after and the quotations stood 59c May, 60%c July and 623gc Sept.being 14 of a cent higher than yesterday's closing prices.Towards noon the market slacked off an shortly after it was 14 of a cent lower than the highest prices of the day.Corn opened steady at yesterday's closing prices, but at\u2018 noon was quoted at % of a cent and 4 of a cent.lower.The \u2018market closed steady this afternoorû\u201d In \u2018Chicago the prices were 58%c to 58 May, 60%c July and 62%c Sept.same- as esterday\u2019s excepting September wheat which ph 34 of a cent lower.Corn closed 4 of a cent lower than yesterday at 38%c May.39140 to 39%c July and 4054c Sept.LOCAL STOCKS DULL.There was little business done in the local stock market this morning Call money is steady at 4% percent, and mercantile discounts are unchanged \u2018at 61% percent.The market showed no improvement this afternoon.Reported by Mesars.W.L.B.Jackson & Co.Between Banks.Counter.Buyers.Sellers.New York Fonds.1-16 dis.to par 4 prem.to Sterling, 60 dsys.9% to % 9% to % Sterling, demand.93, to 9% 10 to 1044 Sterling, cables.\u2026.10%, to 10% Paris cheques.5.16% to 5.15 5.14% to 5.12% | St.Guilders, 3 days, 39% to 40;

also.Again, thé argument was.brought forward that the Murphy Insti- \u2018tute had done much good, and the Court was disposad to believe so.However, even admitting all the above the Court had no other

TuorspAY, APRIL 26, 1894.THE MONTREAL DAILY WITNESS, 9 TRE FICTITIOUS HORRIGAN.\u2014 BY FRANCIS DANA.\u2014\u2014 (Concluded.) we alighted in a puddle, of whose cooling waters he took care that I should have my share, and walked on together ia the amity of the lion and the lamb (of to-day) down a horrid street whose doorways and alleys yielded a swarm of muddy, ragged children, that came running about us uttering discordant cries and remarks personal and highly distaste- fui to myself.5 Presently there appeared standing, ruminant, lost in thought, upon a corner, another policeman.At sight of him my captor entered upon a course of action that I could not then account for.Calling out to the other as If for help, be suddenly began to choke me, and, seizing me with cne arm about the walst, swayed back and forth as if struggling hard tao hold me ; nor did .I escape à few bruises.-I could not but feel a car- tain resentment at this treatment, not Knowing at the time what an excellent reason my captor had for it, so I made a desperate resistance.The other officer came running to assist in subduing so untamable a spirit.\u2018Got a pair er bracelets wid yer ?my guardian enquired, breathlessly.The newcomer, who was a plece of \u2018\u2018mported English goods,\u2019 heavy, stolid and bovine in bulk and action, slowly drew handcuffs from his pocket and adjusted them to my wrists.\u2018Wot\u2019's \u2019e been hat ?he asked.To my further surprise my captor sald | nothing of the arrest in the car, but charged me with assaulting and battering him in the discharge of his duty (adding much novel and inatructive detail as to my having \u2018sprung at him and hammered him an\u2019 th\u2019 hid fit to bate out th\u2019 harrt av him), alleging that it would have gone hard with him if officer number two had not seen the assault and come up with timely assistance, opining that I was \u2018ayther mad or disprit,\u2019 alluding to me as a \u2018maraudin\u2019, scalpin\u2019 ruffin,\u201d and concluding that his own name was Horrigan, and that he was on his way to his duty at Station Five.It was concluded that as the second officer had seen the affray, and as it took place on his beat, he should take me to his own station and there enter the complaint against me, which Horri- gan would corroborate next morning in court.Wherewith I wag taken to the station, while Horrigan went his way with Helen\u2019s silver aafely tucked under his arm.Meanwhile, I had tried.jar best to tell my side of the: er been \u201cmofgrant arfésted \"and\" Pre ra Pen It seemed to me, into nd orc But Ho attention was paid to my protestations, except a shake by the collar when 1 became toe importunate.Rightly enough, for the police can only go hy what they see; and the words of prisoners are to be sifted only in ecaurt.: It seemed to me that Officer Horrigan, not being sure that he had sufficient cause for my arrest, but unwilling to let me go till my innocence was proven, had had me taken for the assault, to give himself time, meanwhile, to collect further evidence.But I was not generous enough to be very grateful for hls energy in proteet- ing my sister's property.\u2018Be carfle how ye handle th\u2019 riprobate!

But now I was too miserable at heart to enjoy even the luxury of the superior accuracy of my foresight.Giving utterance to uncomplimentary opinions concerning the police in general and certain ones individually, I was held in disgrace, and might not send a.message to my friends.That is, I was allowed to do so\u2014if I could ; but the police were under no obligation to assist me, and I could not without their help.So bail was not to be had, and I spent the night in a cell, with the cheering thought that Officer Horrigan\u2019s zeal would get him into trouble when I should be identified.Next morning, bruised, dishevelled, muddy, torn, wan with sighing and want of sleep, I made my appearance in the prisoner's dock, and in time pleaded \u2018Not gutlty.\u2019 From the expression of the judicial countenance it was clear that His Honor was not quite favorably impressed with my appearance.The.first witness was the policeman who had taken me to the station.He swore to having seen the assault and battery upon Horrigan (he had seen me strike him), and to having heard me utter threats and violent abuse (it is possible) ; to the necessity for irons (false), and to the finding (too true) a deadly weapon upon my person.The engine of destruction was produced and handed to the judge, Who examined it (to the imminent danger of the prizoners, the police, the bar and the audience), and loôked from it to me and from me to it, nodding apprehensively, &s one who inly says, \u2018êm, and à pretty pair they be I\u2019 Officer Horrigan was called.\u201d There came forward, with a look of surprise, a handsome young Irishman, with black hair, a bright, clean tace and merry eye, and a brogue as sweet as that of the maids of Tralee\u2014which brogue, as everyone knows, was so delicious that the maidens suffered much from the bees that constantly hovered about their pretty lips in the confident hope of honey.\u2018Sure an\u2019 yer Anner, I niver see the man afoor ! \u2018Is that the Horrigan you mean ?' asked the judge of the complainant.\u2018Noa, yer Honner.The horiginal 'Or- rigan were a red-'eaded man, yer Hon- ner, an\u2019 a 'eavier man, yer Honner\u2014' \u2018Is that the officer you assaulted ?*' the judge asked me.\u2018Ne ; I never assaulted any officer,\u2019 said I.\u2018] was assaulted.\u2019 \u2018Is the officer whom the prisoner assaulted in eourt 7\u2019 \u2018Yer Honner, \u2019e hisn\u2019t \u2018Is there any other Horrigan on the force besides the .ong present \u2018There wai not, as it\" proved.\u201cPhe present and genuine Horrigan, recently admitted to the force, was nat widely known; nor bad the sturdy Briton who had brought me in a wide acquaint- reason, on his own post.The absent and spurious Horrigan had apparently taken advantage of these facts to impersonate the one, deceive the other, and make off with Helen's ailver.I was dismissed, and the court even suggested that Hugh's weapon be returned to me, But this latter favor 1} refused, and begged that it might be considered the property of the State.I was glad enough to get rid of it on any terms that did not include a fine for carrying it, and delighted that Hugh should consider it confiscated.It would de a blow to him, and a lesson.When I returned ta the house Helen flung herself into my arms, and then, in a state of great disgust and indignation at my appearance, the probable loss of her silver, and, above all, the post- penement ef her dinner, turned her baok upon me and went upstairs.\u2018What\u2014why does Bhe~\u2014what\u2019s the matter now 7\u2019 I asked, \u2018She\u2019s been erying her eyes out for fear something had happened to you,\u2019 said Hugh, \u2018and new she doesn't want you te know it.She'll come down as coal as a euçumber, and give you fits for losing her silver and spoiling the din- rer and making a mess af yourself.See if she don\u2019t! And pow tell us all about it.\u201d \u2018Do you know who that fellow was?he asked, when I tald him ef the man whe had pointed me out to Horrigan the pretender.\u2018Qur old butler.Helen Would have it that he was the best man that ever served his fellow-man, and spoiled him #0 I had to diseharge him-\u2014which is why she doesn\u2019t like the new one.He has been hanging abut ever since ; he knew you by sight, he knew that valise, he knew my clothes, and he knew we meant to give a dinner from the other servants, and eould tell about when we would send for the silver.\u2019 \u2018See what she'll have to say to that! What she said was : \u2018No wonder! You ses now what comes of turning 4n honest man out of employment, Hugh.It ruins him, and deprives you of whatever he can lay bis hands en.Perhaps hereafter you'll take my adviee\u2014such as it is.\u2019 And though the silver has long since been recovered, and though the dinner took plaee with great pomp, and though I contributed not a little to the pleasure of the gueats by furnishing them with a subject for conversation by my adventure, Helen has not yét seen fit to for- give- men for allowing the robbery to be committed.\u2018Why couldn\u2018t you have called a policeman ?' she asks, when I try to exquse myself.\u2014\u2018The Independent.\u2019 roms It is astonishing how many kinds of people the devil ean catch when he baits} his hook with money.\u2014\u2018Ram\u2019s Horn.\u2019 \u201cThere's a pair of | CHILDREN'S CORNER.THE LITTLE BEAUTY.\u2018I know I am homely,\u2019 said little Rosie Oppenheim, as she peered from the top of the chalr into the looking-glass and scanned every feature.It was only too true, for the face she saw was far from fairy-like.There was no pretty dimple in her cheek, no bright, winsome eyes, | no tiny, clear cut nose, no smooth, white forehead and drooping eye-lashes.It was a dark countenance\u2014small eyes, thick lips, large nose, and huge ears.\u2018What a fright \u2019 she exclaimed as she got off the chalr and turned her face from the mirror.\u2018Well, I am glad that 1 know it, anyway ; and so, if the girls call me names, they won't sting me at all, because it is true.\u2019 And she laughed such a merry little laugh that the sunbeam through the window caught its echoes, and passed them to the clouds beyond.\u2019 Rosie took up her sewing by the window, but after a time grew tired of the work, and, picking up \u2018Alice in Wonderland,\u2019 was deep in its mysteries.With what interest did she follow the adventures of that pleasant little maid !

discussion, was read by the Rev.Ir.T.G.Williams, at the meeting of | Ministerial Association, he association requested : | tho \u2018rotestant cn Morday.he lays serious charges at the door of the Church Universal.He charges upon the Church a practical infidelity to our Lord's teaching relating to conduct in this life and declares that selfishness, not unselfishness, is the spirit of the Church as ar institution.While we admit that the Church as an institution holds within ats pale the best of humanity and a very preponderating part of the morality and Christ-likeness that is in the world, that it is as Christ said of his disciples, \u2018the salt of the earth,\u2019 \u2018the light of the world,\u2019 yet it is to be feared that the charges he prefers could be sustained by an impartial investigation.The Christian Church of to-day bas the allegiance of the nations which govern this world, and if sel- the writer to permit its publication.| fishness were banished from their coun- The !tev.Dr.Herron bas respondsd to the invitation extended him, and bas éulivered his message, and as the people of encient Nineveh assembled to gon- sider vhat the proghet had said, so iwe, in this modern Nineveh, ave met to ascertain one duty in reference to the rrersage dc'ivered to us.The Ninevites were entirely hcnest in their conference, and we will emulate their praiseworthy candor.Whether similar manifestations will follow is veiled by futurity, and whether equally beneficial results will be realized will depend upon our action.We shall first ask what message has been delivered to us?What is its subject?The reply is found in the presentation of the poverty on the one side of society, and thc sclfishness on the other.It is a message regarding the inequalities of society, the old evil of great wealth and deep poverty, or in modern phrase, the evils resulting from the strife between capital and labor.That crying evils exist, is so palpable that Dr.Her- \u2018ron very wisely did not attempt at any length to describe them.He passed by their existence as an acknowledged fact, upon whi® it was unnecessary to dwell at length.In this course he was justi- fled, as all agree that inequalities in society must exist so long as there are inequalities in mental endowments.yet these disparities have been multiplied and intensified by the selfishness \u2018of humanity.But Dr.Herron does not confine himself in his message to the existence of evil and wrong as it is found in the present hour simply, he declares that the burdens of labor have so accumulated that they have become too heavy to be borne, and that as Rehoboam precipitated a revoit by refusing to lighten the burdens of the people, so to-day labor is driven to the point of rebellion against the existing economic conditions, and unless capital consent to the establishment of a new system by which all the industries of civilization shall be controlled, it will be overtaken in a far more disastrous revolution than came to the son of Solomon.In proof of these prophecies he points to the powerful organizations of labor, extending through all grades of workingmen, from the dockyard and coal mine to the skilled laborer who constructs the engine, to those who produce our manufactures as well as the men who work our vast system of railways.He raises his voice to call our attentien to the appalling fact that the concentration of wealth and the wealth producing power are increasing with fearful velocity, and as they have Increased in obedience to the law of selfishness, so, in turn, they augment the force of the very law by which they have themselves been produced.In view of this geometrical progression of forces so antagonistic to the well-being of society, he cries out to warn us of the threatened danger.He discerns in the near future such a rapid increase of the power to oppress labor that workingmen will be forced in self- defence to openly revoit against their oppressors and that a reign of anarchy will ensue.To prevent this is his mission, and he aims to accomplish it by bringing ahout a proper adjustment of the social relations of man to his fellow man.Regarding the grandeur and moral sublimity of such an aim all good men agree.We next notice the remedy proposed by Dr.Herron, for the present evils which are so potent to-day, and so pregnant with sorrow for the future.It cannot be anticipated that this modern prophet, as he has been termed, can bring to those who have studied this old problem, any radically new method for its solution.It is the problem of sin and the mind of God only will be able to solve it, and to God\u2019s solution as the only possible method, Dr.Herron asks the consent of the Church cf God.The practical and perfect acceptance of the teachings of Christ in the gospels he declares to bé- thie one and only way to establish right relations among men.This is the burden of his cry, as surely as Jonah\u2019s was \u2018Yet forty days and Nineveh shall be overthrown,\u2019 and Dr.Herron as boldly declares it a message he has from God as did the Hebrew prophet after he had been punished for his disobedience to the Divine command.That the prophet of Nazareth is the world\u2019s Saviour is the bold and repeated cry of Dr.Her- ron.In his sermon on the \u2018Coming Crucifixion\u2019 (page 85) he says:\u2014\u2018There can be no peace upon this earth until the kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of God's Christ, and the cross of Christ has become the law of this world\u2019s life.\u201d This is the true power and the only power able to change men\u2019s sad relations to each other as well as to God, and this Dr.Herron proclaims in the above quoted words.Again, in his sermon, the \u2018Common Atonement,\u201d (page 144) he declares that, \u2018Against the colossal structures of organized selfishness, against the mammoth ecclesiastical institutions that have betrayed Christ into the hands of Mammon, none can prevail save those who wash their robes white in the blood of the Lamb, and work out a new redemption of the world through great tribulation.\u201d The emphatic manner in which he presents the power of the cross is evidenced in many parts of his writings.Again, be says, in the same sermon, (page 161), \u2018For the call of the cross alone has power to summon the moral heroism of the world to action in the service of truth and right With such utterances so boldly proclaiming the moral power of the cross of Christ Dr.Herron presses upon God's children the duty of holding faithfully to the teaching of Jesus of Nazareth.To follow him a step farther we come to his charges against the institution of the Christian Church or organized Christianity.While holding to the power of the gospel to bring men into correct social relations, 7 Alo il 2 Loan Te lB Oe 1 pe a ; CR ln) PNA J, PEs To PA NE ; - .PE Bes Se LA REL SOL Sad a0 FDL Tat PL I os - ; clls and the teaching of Christ substituted therefor, the date of the establishment of Christ's kingdom could be reckoned by days instead of centuries, and the prayer \u2018thy kingdom come,\u2019 would be lost in the glad acclamation\u2014\u2018'The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdom of our Lord and his Christ.\" To the accomplishment of this grand consummation of prophecy, prayer and toil Dr.Her- ren has consecrated his life and the flame of unselfish devotion burns with an ardent glow on the altar of his heart.We have thus far been endeavoring to outline tlie purport or what we conceive to be the purport of Dr.Herron's work, but it now becomes our duty to notice his methods of presenting the matter with which he deals, and as we have had pleasure in bearing testimony to what we believe to be the purity of his motive, the suiblimity of his aim and the correctness of his position regarding the power by which the desired end is to be brought about, we will now undertake the less pleasing though imperative duty of designating some things with which we cannot agree with him.Dr.Herron bas been blessed with a highly poetic mental organism and as a result the enthusiasm which is developed by the magnitude of his conceptions conceals, in part at least, from his sight the reverse side of the problems with which he deals.Were he preaching to capitalists instead of the workingman it would be his du*y todwell emphatically upon,and denounce with strong language the sins of which we all admit capital is guilty.but when the capitalists are few, or perhaps entirely unrepresented it is his duty to present to his hearers their own duty with nothing more than an honest admission that capital has its sins as well as labor.In the one instance, in which we found him face to face with a representative audience of workingmen we heard beisterous applause accorded when well- deserved and well-administered blows were struck with telling frequency at capital; but a silence that bad a sad significance attended the few faithful admonitions which were addressed to the class then present in full force.Perhaps, it was policy to give the bgbes present only the milk of the word as to their own duty, for even that taxed their power of moral digestion, but to give them the strong meat of the delinquencies of capital seemed a work of supererogation,as thay were evidently well nurtured with that food already, and were able and willing to swallow all proffered.Without doubt the same could be said of capital, but it only proves that an audience may be like a child with a dis- \"ordered stomach,*who wants what he does not need and needs what he does not want.Each should be fed \u2018with food convenient for him,\u2019 or, as the revised version more accurately puts it, \u201cwith food that is needful\u2019 for him.But here it should be sald that this error was the result of sympathy with the working man and not because of any unmanly fear.Another indication which is an incident of a poetic temperament is the undue magnifying of forees which oppose as well as such as help, and of conditions favorable and unfavorable.While in no sense a pessimist, but the very reverse, it may be he overstates the danger which he predicts is in the near future in the event of the failure of the social theories to find a speedy acceptance.History teaches that when the social tension becomes strained to a degree dangerous to the social fabric, that circumstances unexpected, have, in the Providence of God, transpired by which the.burdens under which society has suffered have been lightened or transferred to such an extent that in comparison with the magnitude of social wrongs and their existence through all human life, revolts have been comparatively rare.It is probable that there will be neither a complete remodelling of our social taws nor that our social fabric will find its sepulchre in a dismal and hopeless anarchy, but rather a gradual improvement of social conditions as the gospel of Christ leavens the great mass of humanity.Again, the maaner in which Dr.Herron uses the terminology of theology demands notice.The freedom which he accords himself in ihis matter is peculiar, but, unlike himself, it is deceptive.Every science bas its distinctive terminology, which is emphatically its private property.This terminalogy is of value ag it is definite and full, that is.in proportion to the degree cf accuracy with which the truths or theories it holds are clearly and unequivocally expressed.A correct use of terminology is an absolute necessity to clear and accurate statement.To use the terminology of a science inaccurately is an unpardonable sin against science, it is high treason against the particular science so treated.for it means its destruction.Now, if Dr.Herron were charged with using the terminology of theology in a sense at variance with its accepted meaning an appeal to his written words would not deliver him.Take the use of the term atonement in his sermon on \u2018 The Common Atonement.\u2019 He says: \u2018 In bearing the persecutions of their enemies, \"in sharing the tribulations of the saving Christ the early Christians rejoiced in the belief that they were given a part in the atoning work of Christ, helping him to bear away the sins of the world and make it the abode of God.\u2019 Any Christian, early or late, will find in the Epistle to the Hebrews abundant proof than any such conception of the effects of persecutions and tribulations cannot, in any true sense, be said to give to him who endures them a part in \u2018the atoning work of Christ.\u2019 It is fanciful in the extreme, and if interpreted as the word atonement is accepted in the terminology of theology it is essentially erroneous.The difficulty Increases as we read further on \u2018Fellowship with the sufferings of Christ for the salvation of the world is the common atonement which all who believe on him may make for human sin.The atonement is ours as well as Christ\u2019s.\u2019 The consensus of opinion in the Church of Christ recognizes but one atonement x THE MONTREAL and one atoner, and it is dangerous in the extreme to play with truth even for the gain of a beautiful and poetic method of expressing a generous emotion.Still it is due to Dr.Herron to quote agaln from his work, the \u2018New Redemption,\u2019 (page 198), where he says: \u2018The salvation of life is through faith.There is no salvation in man for himsolf.nothing in man that can deliver him from sin; no self-power by which he can live the divine life.No man can earn or achieve the salvation of his own life, or expiate his own sin.\u201d * * * But if God comes to us * * * if he tells us that our sins are not only forgiven, but expined,\u2019 &c.He points frequently to the death of Christ and declares (page 144) none can prevail save those who wash their robes white in \u2018the blood of the T.amb,\u201d and unto us comes the call to wash our robes \u2018white in the blood of the slain Lamt' (page 151); vet the only necessity that we find expressed thus far in his writings for the death of \u2018\u201c\u2018hrist is expresssid (\u2018New Redemption page 81), thus: \u2018Jesus had to nake up his mind to die, to be rejected and crucified as the only way by which he could get his ideal into the world.Men could urderstand it only as it was exalted in the cross of his own crucifixion.\u2019 It is difficult to find a place for the terms \u2018atonement and expiation,\u201d as used in the terminology of theology if Christ died only to impress men with \u2018his ideal\u2019 or to exhibit the moral beauty and grandeur of uwuselfish, infinite love.But Dr.Herron leaves that difficulty untouched and intact.Again, a recognition of the essential deity of Jesus Christ is not found in the wcrks named here, but there are passages which would preclude the expression of such a truth without the sacrifice of logical consistency.He says, (N.R.48): \u2018The humanity and divinity of the Son of God were essentially the same,\u201d and (49) \u2018Christ\u2019s perfected divinity which was his sinlessly perfected humanity,\u2019 etc.Eschatology does not occupy his effort, for he declares he is \u2018chiefly concerned with teaching men how to live here in this world rather than in instructing them how to get well out of it,\u2019 and with more wit than reverence, he says, \u2018Jesus Christ was not a celestial emigration agent to get men out of this world into the next.\u2019 While there is a good amount of practical common sense in this position the absolute necessity of men living properly here is somewhat weakened by the assertion (page 105 N.R.), \u2018Penalty is a remedy for sin, a process of the sinner\u2019s salvation from his sin.The processes of salvation continue until character is perfected in the likeness of Christ, however far into the eternities they may reach.\u2019 From this it would appear that when a sinner begins to receive the punishment for his sin bis salvation is at the same time having its.-commencement, and that if God be merciful enough to continue his sufferings through a sufficient number of eternities the remedy will be complete and the character will be perfected in the likeness of Christ.But again (on page 110) in the same sermon these words occur, \u2018We may neglect this salvation at our eternal peril.\u2019 I can only understand this statement of \u2018our eternal peril\u2019 by accepting the plurality of eternities spoken of in the previous quotation in which case our peril would only extend through the first eternity, This is quite orthodox if nothing more be\u2019 in it to commend it to our acceptance.It i8 needless to say that in this brief\u2018 review all the good that is in the teaching of Dr.Herron is not indicated, while on the other hand, it is probable that the weaknesses have received fuller share of attention.One cannot have even a slight acquaintarce with him without discovering that he has pure and noble aims; that he is possessed of a manly courage; that he seeks not his own, but is willing to be the servant of all.As to his teaching it may be said his sociology is sound, because based on orthodoxy with a strong dash of the «motional and sentimental; and that his theology is unsound because based on the emotional and sentimental in his sociology.It should be noticed tkat Dr.Herron disclaims any mission as a theologian cr politiclan, and desires to sonfine his teaching to the subject of sociology.Considering his views of practical sociology apart from all else he may fairly claim to teach an eminently pure and high form of that science, and further, he can base that claim upon the plain and simple words of Jesus Christ.And it is worthy of note that when Jesus taught these sociological truths he was speaking to a simple people for whom he desired these words should become the rule of conduct.A higher praise cannot be accorded the teaching of Dr.Herron than to say he taught the sociology of Jesus Christ.But while we admit the correctness of his theory of soeiology, at the same time we must notice that he proposes no definite and new mode.of action by which his themes can be made the governing principles of society.This difficulty is increased when we re- meraber his declarations most strongly and emphatically proclaimed that his mission 1s to get man into right relation with his fellow, first, and that right relations with God are to follow in order.We are forced to the old teaching that the first and great command demands right relations with God as the first in the divine order.Matt, xxii.35-39: \u2018Then one of them which was a lawyer asked him a question, tempting him and saying, Master which is the great commandment in the law ?Jesus said unto him.Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy mind.This is the first and great commandment, and the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.\u2019 This, the greater, includes the lesser, and obedience to the serond must follow in order that the first be retained.In declaring that his first and chief aim is to secure right relations between man and his fellow, rather than between man and his God, Dr.Herron reverses the Divine and necessary order of these relations.Righteous conduct must procead from a right state of heart and a right state of heart toward man cannot exist till the heart ir right toward God.Our Lord reproved the Pharisees saying: \u2018Ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.Thou blind Pharisee cleanse first that which is within the cup, that- the outside may be clean also.Sepulchres which were whited without but within full of dead men's bones and all manner of uncleanness, wae à figure used by Christ to present a condition which was externally correet but did not reach the real cause of impurity- History verifies the correctness of this order.In every age those who stand out prominently as the true benefactors There is practice, humanity will be benefited, the Church gain a new hold on society and the prayer \u2018Thy Kingdom come\u2019 will find DAILY WITNESS.of their fellows are such as have first discovered and attained right relations to God, and through the Divine life Christ | fmparts to a soul right with God they have given all for their fellows and have | attained to that position poetically called | \u2018saviours of men.\u2019 The career and degrees of success attending social reform- ! ers who ignore right relations with God | are the wrecker\u2019s lights which lure men to destruction, or at best the red danger signal which cries out, \u2018Keep far away, there are rocks here.\u2019 This order, as stated by Dr.Herron, is not a tenet of the \u2018new movement\u2019 for in | the \u2018New Era,\u2019 by Dr.Strong, of whom | Dr.Herron spoke as a leader in this ef- | fort, is a distinct, emphatic and philoso- ! phical presentation of the reverse order.| He says (see page 131), \u2018When, therefore, Christ gave to the world a new and higher conception of God, there was sure to result in due time a new and higher con- : ception of man, from which would be wrought out naturai:y new concestions of man's individual life.his personal relations to God, and new conceptions of his social Itfe\u2014his relations to his fellowmen.This then, Is the natural order in the development of human thought and progress to have been expected in the Christian era; and history shows this to have been the actual order.First, theology proper, or the doctrine of God, then anthropology, or the doctrine of man; then soteriology, or the doctrine of salvation, which treats of the relations of God and man, and lastly sociology, or the doctrine of society, the relations of man to his fellows.\u2019 Thus are we brought back not only to the principles but also to the methods which have marked every great advancement of Christ's kingdom and find our work in bringing the individual to God.and by establishing right relations between him and his Father extend the teaven of the Gospel through the whole mass of society, and thus leaven che whole lump.In conclusion it may be repeated: Dr.Herron has a grand ideal, a lofty aim, a pure intention, a burning enthusiasm, which consumes selfishness, but fails to provide a method by which his magnificent ideal can be made a part of the social organism he so ardently strives to improve.Yet we welcome his teaching because it stirs the current of the lite of the Church and stimulates enquiry as to duty and how to perform it.That this is needed every thoughtful Christian will admit, and all who have heard Dr.Herron will cheerfully pay this merited tribute, and also unite in the prayer that through this effort the Church may be awaked to a deeper sense of her obligation to bring to the weak and suffering the blessings which the true acceptance of the Gospel by all classes will secure to universal humanity.The lesson we may learn is the necessity that presses upon the Church to enter more fully into sympathy with sufferers in what is conventionally called the lower walks of life, and by a practical application of the precepts of Christ verify our claim that we are his disciples.It may make new and heavy demands upon our unselfishness and tax our faith in God to its utmost degree of tension, but as surely as these conditions in society exist as the result of sin so surely their atoue- ment and removal will demand sacrifice and suffering.If we gain a new view of our duty and faithfully reduce it to J 1 an answer in our Christlike toil.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014

IT am confident it is his design to restore the Union; he will do it in his own good time; we should obey and not oppose his will.\u201d Mr.Chittenden goes on to say: coln accepted the bible as the inspired word of God; he believed, and faithfully endeavored to live according to the fundamental principles and dectrines of the Christian faith.To doubt either proposition is to be untrue to his memory, a disloyalty of which no American should be guilty.\u2019 Again: \u2018Mr.Lincoln was not a theologian, nor was he a church member, but a practical Christian he was.Turn over his state papers and proclamations, they abound in recognition of the Supreme, and are positively devout in tone.He was a prayerful man, and tells us himself that he was often driven on his knees in public straits and private griefs.\u2019 I have other authorities, but if Mr.Adams will obtain an American newspaper published in any great city on the anniversary of Lincoln's birthday, he will find dozens of quotations from the various orators of the day, testifying to the fact of Lincoln's Christianity.Mr.Adams will note that Mr.Chittenden asserts that Lincoln accepted the Bible as the inspired word of God, not the Old Testament only, but the entire volume.That is in direct contradiction to the statement ha \u2018attributes to Judge Wake- field.If Lincoln was also the fatalist, who is said to have disbelieved the efficacy of prayer, how is it that he has often alluded to it as being a great comfort and help to him in time of need.Mr.Adams has still less reason to be satisfled with his claim upon Washington or Jefferson.They may not have given evidence of great spirituality, but their lives were tinged with the restraining and ennobling influence of the Christian religion.My answer to Mr.Adams leads to an explanation I desired to make regarding the question propounded Dr.Herron.In the first place, I contend, the mistake Mr.McWilliams made was In assuming, even for the sake of illustration, that an \u2018infidel,\u2019 as the term is generally understood.bas the potency and possibility of rising to =o lofty a height of self-abnegation, protracted through successive years of overwhelming care and the resnonsibility for the fate, the life, even.of a vast nation, one capable of exhibiting such fortitude in defeat, such magpanimity in success, and at last closing his grand career as a martyr to the cause of bu- manity.If Mr.McWilliams er Mr.Adams can produce an instance in a Christian land, where an agnostic has been called upon to administer such high charges, has shown bimself so graced with the virtues we cal! Christian, in self denial, truth, purity of life, magnanimity under calumny, forgiveness of wrong, and at last the martyr's crown, then my contention is valueless.As it stands I affirm that Dr.Herron was just in.regarding a life lika that of the martyred president would stand uncon- demned before God, for it is impossible to conceive these qualities to exist in one knowing the truths of Christiznity, and who would refuse to give the glory due to the author of our faith.\u2018God has no use for infidels as the great exemplars of humanity.We could do without every one of those who for the past four hundred years have obtained canonization from Ingersoll and his bench of bishops.But the world would have been poorer without Wycliff, Luther, Knox, Shakespeare, Milton or Dante, Cromwell, the Christian soldier, vilified by Hume, the agnostic historian, Livingston, Gordoa, Lincoln, and the countless host of other eminent men who have gone to their rest confessing Jesus as Lord.ROBT.E.BRAY.Montreal, April.1894, lowing Cured \" bv : entitied As perhans ' were \u2018Lin- | Judge, John Baird, E.= | Cunningham, Thos.J.Drumr: real audiv®co.evening 15 well sae sists of Lis intmital)e sketches and mimicry of crizinal sciectiiors.he recitations Mark Twain .l\"leld, ant # \u20182 \u2018Fishin\u2019 Jens - erjeys a laugh piges others do so entertainnrent.liz yo i snouis Jo ST.iL.)

Toronto, April 25\u2014It having became known that to-day Mr.Conmee would move the second reading of his optional ballot bill for separate school electidns the House was crowded.Almost every member was at his desk, while the galleries were filled with expectant listeners, prominent among them being leading Roman Catholic dignitaries.Seated beside the veteran Premier was the Hon.'C.F.Fraser, who, it was whispered, would oppose the hill, give his statement of the differences in the Cabinet on the question and make a supreme effort, despite physical disabilities, to give a quietus to what he was undorstood ta regard as an onslaught upon hig church, From the moment that Mr.Conmee rose to address the House until he resumed his seat Mr.Fraser sat almost motionless, with folded arms; and indeed the marked feature of the opening passages of the debate.was the silence with which every utterance was recelved, friend and opponent of the motion giving no expression of their feelings, not even by the faintest rapping of their desk, though the mover\u2019s to come high in spite of new blood taken lfanguage was extremely florid and fervid.in unless great care is exercised in the selection of lives for insurance, but the present vigilance of the general management is much more likely to increase than it is is to diminish.Before being pulled up short by the Insurance act the Sons of Scotland had drifted unpleasantly near to hopeless entanglement, and one such experience is likely to suffice for a generation.The success of such FRIENDLY INSURANCE SOCIETIES as the Sons of Scotland, Sons of England, Foresters, etc., has brought prominently to the public same aspects of life insurance which might otherwise have remained comparatively oeeult.There can be no question as to the cheapness of such life insurance as they give; the only question that can be raised is one of stability as to the society.and of safety as to the insured.On this latter point the appeal must be to experience.Unfortunately by the time the insured has obtained the experience, be is beyond the limit of eligibility, and he must remain uninsured because his life has become \u2018bad\u2019 through lapse of time.What is possible to say wut the present stage is that the friendly societies are giving cheap insuranée, and that sgme of F ~ or Be Ipiriy- stable.4 They can afford to make insurance cheap because the management of their offices is simple and inexpensive, The old insurance companies charge high rates to cover risks and something more.The something more accumulates as a reserve or surplus.It is necessary to invest this surplus in order to make it earn In~ome for shareholders, and at once the insurance society takes on the form of a loan society, with an enlargement of staff and

-sniagonism to that of the government of his eountry, say, \u2018I will be loyal ta my country.\u201d Mr.Conmee closed with a eulogy on the loyalty of Roman Catholics in Wellington's army at Waterloo.On resuming his seat there was no applause, and for some moments it appeared uncertain what would follow.MB.FRASER'B ADDRESS.The Hon.C.F.Fraser ross,.and commencing in subdued tones, remarked that this session had seen three different propositions respecting this question.placed before the\u2019 ise., This was no, : À 2 power to discuss it with his old-time ] vigor and old-time health, but he would be constrained to be very limited and very brief and to not go far afield.If it were being for the first time brought up as a detail of the establishment of a separate school system he would not consider it necessary to oppose the ballot, although it .always savored to him of cowardice, and he would prefer to cast his own vote openly.The proposition had hitherto, however, come from those who were desirous of sweeping away the separate school system and it had been a menace.Under such circumstances, he argued that Protestants, if in a minority, would resent the proposal of à known Catholic majority, to force a ballet upon them, and would regard it as in the nature of a threat.Then the eloquent Roman Catholic representative proceeded to sketch the acitation in the Legislature for the introduction of the ballot system in separate school electiens.He pointed out that until 1890 the Roman Catholic members of the Legislature voted as a unit against the proposal, but that since that year some of his co-religionists bad taken opposite attitudes.Just as Mr.Fraser reached this point a prolanged fit of coughing compelled him to desist.The ever courteous leader of the Opposition, Mr.W.R.Meredith, applauded by his supporters, suggested that the House adjourn, so that Mr.Fraser might resume his address after recess.It was decided, however, to proceed with the next order until six o'clock and resume the debate on Mr.Conmee\u2019s bill at 8 o'clock, Mr.Fraser to have the floor.Mr.Fraser was unable to proceed last evening with the Separate 8chool bill and the debato was adjourned until this ton is now keen, and it will be more Len still before the struggle abates.Another phase of this question, which Las for close observers a deep interest, is THE SOCIALISTIC ASPECT OF LIFE INSURANCE.Every man who joins a friendly society \u2018inte well understands that his annual iayments are not intended to bring him avy pecuniary return.They are in- ~nded to serve a purpose

IN'PARIS \u2014SOME OF THE WORKS ON EXHIBITION.Paris, April 28\u2014The National Society of Fine Arts has stolen a march on the Society of French artists, this year, and the Champs de Mars Salon opens a week before the old or Champs Elysee Salon.The public will be admitted to the new salon on Wednesday.To-morrow is Varnishing Day, whén everybody who is anybody in Parisian society, responds to the coveted invitations of the artists.To-day President Carnot and his military household, together with the Cabinet, had the salon all to themselves, th2 Salon Committee entertaining the President at luncheon in the Salle d\u2019Honneur.The exhibition does not rise above a good average, the financial crisis in America and elsewhere having reacted on the art market and on the artists\u2019 anx- lety to make any unusually great efforts.Puvis de Chavannes exhibits a decorative ceiling for the prefect of the Seine\u2019's bureau, at the Paris Hotel-de-Ville, of which he showed the design last year.by a female -figure, crowning Victor Hugo.The president of the salon also sends the ecoincons for this ceiling and a series of drawings.Jean Beraud\u2019s symbolic picture this year is entitled \u2018The Way of the Cross,\u2019 The central figure is the Man of Sorrows, in a red vestment, wearing a crown of thorns which have scratched his wan face, bowing under the weight of the enormous cross which he is bearing up thé slope.To his right is Mary Magdalene in a dark purple robe, Her hands clasped in prayer.The Virgin is tottering behind, supported by St.John, without whose assistance she would fall.Behind and around the Saviour is a crowd of jeering enemies.Most of them are impersonal brutes, their predominating expression being animality.A well- dressed clubman, with a lady of fashion in evening dress on his arm, typifying sensuality and egoism, are laughing boisterously at the agony of the man who dared to reprove frivolity.À workman, barefooted, and wearing bis working clothes, is, however, the prominent figure of the crowd.He is stooping down picking up 3 stone to cast at the cross- bearer, while a mysterious being behind him, hidden under the red cloak of Anarchy, is pushing him on to stone the Saviour.On the other side of the way are a number of figures, typifying the elements of Christianity.A bride and bridegroom kneeling, typify the sacred marriage tie, a soldier represents miH- tary devotion, a priest administering to \u2018an old man dying evokes piety and death, a nun and two little children are charity and orpbanhood, a poor wretch with heavy chains at his wrists typifies the penitent thief, while peasants and various other figures symbolize different phaiis of humanity, wherein Christ is not #88 object of derision, but of faith, ~~ oF
