Of course, we know how interesting \"I¥Féhe forty-six municipal systems of taxa- tien he was studying, \u2018only one or two were free from a tax of some sort on per- pnalty.Among the exceptions, of course, § Montreal.For the purpose of finding out, where we stand.in relation to -taxa- jn we will make several comparisons.First, let us- take New York, which has It might cost more to keep the polls] « population of nearly \u201cfour millions, in open till eight o'clock, and.té \u2018add aüthparison with our nearly three hun «dred thousand.The debt of New York.\u201cipounts to\u2018 3383,000,000, compared _ with dur $27,000,000.In round numbers, She debt.of New York is about à.hux- p dyodr dollars a head, while.that, of Montres! is ninety-six dollars a-head: Néw York | is better off than we are, \u2018however, in public conveniences of many kinds.On the othet hand, our climatic condi- expensive .to deal \u201cWith, The value of the realty\u201d in\u2019 New.York\u2018is set down at $5,015,000,000, \u2018and ours at $200,000,000, upon which New \u2018York city pays 2.10 percent, and we pay \u201cShe percent.The city of New York also exacts a tax of 2.10-percent on personalty, hile we exact nothing on that account.On the other hand, we exact a business tax, which is seven and a \u2018half percent [60 the rental.In regard to the per- gentage of value assessed, it is full Here \u2018and in New York, but\u2019 the Montreal proprietor escapes several burdens that New York proprietor has to carry.The New York proprietor has to pay Ffor the main sewers, street paving and \u2018videwalks, while the city pays for all yEhèle in.Montreal, except stone or ce- Fment sidewalks, whege the city pays half and the proprietors 4 If.\u2018The water in New York is charged for by frontage and stériés, with a minimum of four dollars for sixteen feet, one story, to eighteen dollars for.fifty feet, five stories.\u2018Im \u201cMontreal the water Tate Lie seven 40d a half percent on rentals \u2018and specials, witlixieter rates of $1.15 rer thousand cubic feet.The water rate in New.York i is.therefore.compare: tively much cheaper: than it is in Montreal.Indeed.so far \u201cas the.water rate }is concerned, Montreal \u2018ranks probably \u2018dearer than any other city.Thé um- bition of other cities is to supply water to citizens at cost as nearly as possible, while Montreal niakes a big vrofit out of \u2018the Fatér sipply.Both in New York and Montreal the water is supposed -to cover the cost of administration, interest or debt and sinking \u2018Fund, but in New York the water raté is alien on proper- ts while in Montreal: at is nat.In New York, if the water \u2018rite is not paid.the property may be sold aîter four vears\u2019' arrears.In Montreal we turn off the water if the year\u2019s tax is nos paid.I'he effect of the New.York svstem 18 ot Course, that the opus of the tax falls on\" the proprietor.\u201cIn case \u201cof arrears of the real estate tax, in New York, the property may be'sold every thres vears, put, the \u2018city\u2019s.lien - does not, expire till payment.In Montreal property is sold for arrears of taxes on real estate every three years, and- the city\u2019s lien expires to |'¢very tliree years.\u201d In New York.the show virility - enough to cleange .itself.te xemptions from taxation amount to a Pülion.dollars, or about two hundred state- \u2018 and \u2018fifty dollars 4 ; bead; \u201cwhile our ex emptions \u2018amount to forty million dol lars, or about & hundred and thirty dol- larg a head.~The limit of the borrowing powers of NewYork is ten oercent.exclusive of the water debt; while our limit is fifteen percent: inclusive of water.We are often compared with Buffalo, both as to population and as a shipping contre, and we like to thidk, as Mr.Tarte and others have so many times assured us, that we sball rival her in poputation, i1ade and wealth, some day, if wa are guod.A comparison of our \u2018system of iaxalion with that of Buffalo is therefore exceptionally interesting.| Büffalo has a population about seventy thousand ahead of ours, or taking Mr.Robb\u2019s - figures, Buffalo\u2019s population numbers 352,00, while\u2019 ours numbers 280,000.But - \u2018Baffalo\u2019s debt only am- ~.| ounts .to $18,000,000 in comparison to \u2018our $27,000,000.\" Buffalo's debt is therefore, about $51 a_head, in comparison with - our $96.The value of the realty in Buffalo is $242,000,000, in com- .parispn with pur $200,000,000, and the \u2018rate of taxation on reälty in\u2019 Buffalo is \"$1.87, in comparison with our one dol Jar.The Buffalo personalty amounts to $7,000,000, and the tax is again $1.87.There is no business tax in Buffalo.For purposes of taxation, values are taxed lin full, the same as in Montréal.The ala proptietors pay for .all sewers, also for street paving and for sidewalks.The water rate is charged at $1.50 per family, and $250 to $5.00 per 25 feet frontage, according to stories.That is a geod deal cheaper than our rate, yet it is cuppescd to cover cost of adminis ration, interest on debt and sinking fund.The water rate can be collected \u201cfrom the proprietor, and the water is türned off \u201cwhen the rate is not paid.[Property can be sold yearly for arrears of real estate; and the city\u2019s lien never expires.The exemptions from taxation amount to $42,000,000, and the \u2018limit of borrowing powers is 10 percent: There is no limit of taxing power in Buffalo, while we are limited to one persent.Let us now compare.ourselves with our siste\u201d city of Toronto, whose popuia- tion is set down by tha city treasurer at 250,000, which is very cansiderably more than the figures given in the census.Taking these figures as approximately correct, however, the debt of Toronto, which is $22,000,000, works out at $88 per head, as compared with, our 496.The vaine of, the realty in Toronto ht $127,000,000,.and .\u2018the tax is $1,00, -or nearly double oir tax; while-the value of the personaity is $11,000,000, upon which the tax is also $1.90.No wonder | Mr.Robb sighs for such a tax.The percentage of value assessed is full, as in Montreal, but there appears to be no business tax.The main sewers in Toronto -are paid for in the proporiion of one-third by She city and two-thirds by the proprietors, while the proprietors pay \u2018in.full for all the street paving and the sidewalks.The water rate is charged per, rooms and inmates and specials, the \u2018minimum being $1.50, and the rate covers.cost of administration, interest on debt, and sinking fund, until the recent reduction.The water rate i3 a lien on property, and the rate may be enforced either by turning off or by dis- traint.Property may be sold in three years for arrears of real estate tax, and the city\u2019s lien only expires on payment.An important fact is that there is no property exempt from taxation in Toronto, while we, as previously stated, have to exempt $40,000,000, or a filth of the whole.The borrowing powers of Toronto are 123% percent on $1,000,000, and eight percent over thet, exclusive of water.The limit of taxing power is two percent.Finally, let us take the city of Manchester for study, with a population of 568,000, or nearly double our own.There the debt is very large, {and amounts to $105,000,000, or £188 a head, or nearly Jouble ours.It is to be wemembered, .however, that much of this debt has beem incurred for the acquirement of public utilities, including, if our memory is correct, some of the bonds of the Manchester Canal.-The value of Manchester realty is $500, 000,000, and the percentage assessed is five-sixths of rental.The rate is high, or about forty cents on the dollar.That is.fo say, if the rent paid amounted to $200 a year, the city would exact foriy cents on the dollar on five-sixths of it, \u2018or about sixty-six dollars.There 15 no business tax in Manchester.The -city there pays for the main sewers, and the proprietors pay for all the road paving! and aleo the sidewalks.\u2018In respect to the -water rate in Manchester, the proprietors pay a penny in the pyund on the assessed value of the property, and the ténants pay eightpence in the pound on their rentals.A tenant paying $200 a year rental would therefore be charged about five and a half dollars.for water, or considérably less than what we pay.Yet in Manchester the water rate is supposed to cover.cost of administra- SATURDAY, Novamsen 26, 1804 The water rate is not a lien on pro; e- and Manchester does as we do wirn : water rate is not paid, that is, she + the water off.In Manchester, Proper, is not sold for arrears of the real us, tax, but recqvery is made in the cour.and no limit is set as to time oi ve.ery.The exemptions from taxaci n\u2026- the usual ones; the limit of borrou,- power and the limit of taxing JH, is subject to legislation.A What is shown by these compar.and by Mr.Robl\u2019s tables as 4 wy, is that Montreal differs from most \u201cher cities, 50 far as municipal taxation concerned, in these particulars: (pn 4 very few cities besides Montreal mess a business tax; with the exception.per haps, of Quebec, Montreal propret- are let off easiest in the matter oi mai, ing sidewalks and street paving.ip so.cities the proprietors having to pay :\u2026- the whole business; the rate oi ta, ation on realty in Montreal is mu- under the raie imposed in other citirs being less than half of that exacted :: some.cities; with the exception of Que bec and the British cities, all the min.Neipalities in the tables impose a tax on personality: Lhe debt of Montreal per capita is very high compared with the majority of the municipalities studies the water rate is very high indee.more than half the cities differ from Montreal in that the water tax is à lien ou property, which throws the ons of coilectiva cn the proprietor\u2014in Dep.ver, as an example, if the water rate is nnt paid it is added to the real estate tax the next year; in many other cities, tae city's tiem or real estate for arrears of tire real esfaie tax does not expire until the tx is paid, while in Montreal it expires in three years; our exemp- tipas from taxation are much bigher than in nest cther cities; our limit o borrowing power is higher than in (ue majority of cities; while the limi; vur taxing power is less than half of that of many municipalities.Mr.Robb recommends the abolishing of the water tax altogether, and putting a tax on furniture.That would seem only Like changing a burden from one hand °» another.However, the subject is one of much interest, and Mr.Robb's ng ures will assis, very much in its elu dation, \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 {For the

BRITISH FISCAL POLICY \u2014_\u2014 MORE EXPRESSIONS OF OPINION.(Canadian Associated Press.) London, Nov.26.\u2014The eastern division of the National Union Conservative 2- sociation unanimousiy adopted a resolw tion to the effect that the contemplated conier:nce be invited to consider the relations between the mother country and the colonies regarding the contributions to imperial taxation for colonial defence, cmigration, colonial devel.pment, influsnce, und imperial affairs.At Huddersfield - Earl Percy said Mr.Balfour and Mr.Chamberlain were to® be praised for their efforts to bring about a conference between the Mother Country and the colonie.Canada had set a noble, self-sacrificing example.giving Great Britair a thirty percest preference in 1897.(Germanv's thr ab for that step had no effect.Anticipe- ing the result of a Liberal admuustra- tion, he said they were \u2018entirelv out of sympathy with the aspirations of tke colonies, SIR EDWARD GREY _ Sir Edward Grey, spesking\u2019at Hastings, said he dreaded a pref-rence mor» than protection.After we had taxed our food in the interests of the Empire.we should never case pressing iLe colonies to admit British goods free to their markets, yet they were plainly told by the colonies that they intended to ro on imposing duties on British manufactures; so that Chamberlain's proposals, instead A of being à bond of union would be tbe cause of constant friction.Let there Le a conference with the colonies on questions of Imperial defence, foreign policy and general interests of the Empire bv all means, but a conference of the fiscal | question was bound to lead to heart burning disappointment.MR.WYNDHAM.Mr.Wyndham, speaking at the United Club, said the most important method of bringing the colonies into a closer bond of imperial unity was that the Mether Country should regularly take counsel from all parts of the Empire.; The communion of Great Britain ond | the éolonies\u201d should not be narrowed down: to\u2018 the academic question of protection or free trade.#; should embrace questions \u2018of defence, international law \u2018and general commerce.He was pro- ' foundly convinced that unless Grenp Britain sought means of brinzing the colonies into closer communion there was serious danger of drifting further epart.\u2018He and\u2018 hig\u2019 dolleagues believed Great Britain ought to retaliate, when necessary, against foreign countries to have some weapon at their command to defend, for instance, such a coloay as Canada when retently threatened by Germany.A PROTEST.The Bristol \u2018Mergury\u2019 says:, \u201cWhen w¢ | hawadedueted.the things.shin could wok | be supplied from this country the quon- tity of foreign imports into\u2019 the colonies are not large enough, even if we cap- \u2018tured the whole as a result of à differ- | tiation in our favor in colonial duties, | to justify the price of necessities of life \u2018being raised throughout tirege islands.| Apart from being rotten in vrinciple, the thing mm not worth doing on businezs grounds.\u2019 RUSSIAN REFORIS UNEXPECTED MAY HAPPEN, AFTER ALL.St.Petersburg, Nov.26.\u2014The unexpected may happen, after all.he ineeting ol the zematvoiats\u2019 \u2018rirst Rus- sil Longress, as it 15 now called, may indeed work the inauguration of a new era tor Ruasia.\u2018Lhe Emperor Nicholas, the initiator of the pian for universal disarmament, may twn back upon the reactionaries and crown bis reign by granting to his subjects the cons«tution wilen bis grandiataer had aseady prepared when he fell by the hand oi an assassin, Lo \u2018Lhe basis of such a possibility 1s Lhe significant fact that late yesterday tbe linperor received in the palace at Tsarskoe-Selo, M.Shipoff, of Moscow; M.Patrunkeivitch, où Lever ; M.Kod- ! zanko, of Kkaterinoslaw, and Count Hei- i den, four prominent members of the i zemstvo congress, and listened at length \u2018to their views.It develops Prince Svia- topolk-Mirsky \u2018pre.ented the zemstvo | nemorial and resolutions on Nov.24, the Emperor was so ceeply impressed as well by the contents otf the documents.as by the character of the signers tuatl he immediately expressed the desire to pessonally receive a deputation of feur.The zematvoists, therefore, went to Tsarskoe-Selo, by lmpurial command.At their audience, it is understood, they ex- | plained fuliy their position and reifarat- {ed the views expressed by the memorial, j that the salvation of the empire Iron , ruin by wevolution lay in the adoptton of the general ideas expreased in tue menrorial.\u2018Lhe kmperor was greatly | impressed by what he heard, and asked many questions.While it ie understood that he gave no indication of his purposes, except the sympathy ne \"dis played, the deputation, when 1t retarnei to St.Petersbwrg, was in high spirit.Naturally, all declined to say anything for publication, regarding the visit.The news that the del:gation had been given an audience by the Emperor spread like wildfire through the city to-night, and created a tremendous sensation, rê- joicing among Libzrals, and amazement among the uncompromising supporters of the old regime.Earlier in the : day the report was current that an liu- mediate effect of the zemstvo Tacetiag would likely be the realization of the plan for giving two elected zemstvo vep- resentatives seats in the Council of the ; Empire.| \u201cOne of the prominent Liberals whe participated in the congress declined last night to sfiare in the jubilation of some of his colleagues and expressed the opinion that victory was yet a long « w ff, altho th he said he believed it wag certain, \u201cfe pointed out that tae declaration in the orial Jn favor of the abrogation of ial privy an e tion special Dp! oes, the for the equality of all classes be law a known thro! Russia, was bound to appeal stro the peasantry.\u2018All the memb the congress,\u2019 said lie, \u2018are large land proprietors.A \u2018levelling process which would put the mujik on an equality with them must be prejudiqin] to theit rsonal interests.In.no other country.in the world except Russia would you find men anxious to make\u2018 sacrifices for an altroistic ideal.The same thing, however, happenéd with \u2018 the etnancipa- tion of the serfs in the times of Alex: ander IL, when many nobles \u2018advocated the measure; \u2018though-it meint practically ruin for them personally.BOGUS BALLOT BOXES EVIDENCE YESTERDAY :&FTER- NOON WAS EXTREMELY DAMAGING.: - ».Belleville, Ont, Nov.2A-#The \u201c@rimins! libel case went on agains.yes y afternoon,.and ¥.J.Reilly, of Hingston, in the box, stated that when the expos ure was made in West tings, Snib- ley and B.O.Lott had offered him large sums of money to leave the country, but he Lad refused, Loti also got hum to wrile the tinsmiths in Water- town, who made the boxes, and offer them big money if they would say nothing about the boxes they had made.Several expicss agents gave testimony showing the cases containing the bogus boxes nau péssed through their hands.T.D.Whalen, of Prescott.teatified to shipping the cases containing the boxes from that town, which, he said, he Had done as an'act of friendship for Reilly, though he denied knowing what was m the cases.; Ed.Ruttan, of Sydenham, who drove the \u2018cases containing the bogus boxes, which were meant for Frontenac, from Kingston.to Shibley\u2019s house, testified that Shibley had shown him the boxes three days before t election, and waxed eloquent in théir praises.Ruttan said he did not know if the bogus boxes were used in the electian.but he did not know that he and a man named -Harpel had the day after the\" election taken the boxes, by Shibley\u2019s.orders, out in a beat) and dumped them into the lake, at Swe am.\u201c1 Two witnesses, Tappings and McDonald, swore positively that \u2018¢ bogus box sed at poll No.2, Frontenac, They had put = Bande in the-Box -in the\u2019 morning And had felt the faked -.ald the shelf at the bottom.Tie ie Jar this poll was Jos.Hawkey & brates sional wrestler, and the normal T- vative majority of forty had been cut down to seven.Intense interest is manifested in the case, and the court room waï erqwded all day.L HANDWRITING SUPERSEDED, - NEW .TELEORAPHIC SYSTEM.A remarkable high speed telegraph i strument has been invented by a Donald Murray, who claims that it is as great an advance upon the Morse instrument as the Morse was upon its predecessor, the single needle.5 For twelve months the English post- office have had the instrument working for experimental purposes between London and Edinburgh, apparently with promising results, for they have now decided to test further a perfected instrument: that has been devised by Mr.Murray during that period.If the Murray trans mitter ever becomes universally adopted, it will mean that telegraph clerks wil never have to put pen or peneil to a tele |.gram, beyond marking upon it the time of handing in.The system is in some respects similar to the Wheatstone, but, differs inasmuch as paper type, instead of being hand-punched, is perforated by! an instrument.Also the tape at the other end of the wire is similarly perforated instead of being marked with dots and dashes, and, above all, this tape can be placed upon another machine, which converts the perforation into printed words direct on to telegraph forms at the | : rate of about 120 to 150 words a minute.The system is four or five times as fast, as the Morse, and consists of three stages: First, the telegram is copied on a.machine resembling a typewriter.Papér tape runs through this, and is perforated es each letter is struck.Secondly, the message, as it appears on the tape, is run at a very rapid rate through a trang.mitter, and an exact facsir of the tape is produced at the other end of the wire.The third process consists in put- \u2018ting this tape through a typewriter, with automatic mechanism driven by a small electric motor, and the message reappears neatly printed, lined and spaced.\u2019 This last stage may be described as being similar in effect to the placing of paper rolls of music in an automatic piano.Whereas in that case the perforations are the cause of the notes be ing struck and the music being produced, go in the case of this instrument, the perforated page is the cause of the type: writer keys going down and the hammery containing the letters strikin graph form and producing fe words : the tele tters and Ome of the effects of the use of this instrument\u2014provided it be ultimately.found to come up to expectations\u2014would be a great saving of time, as a wire would be capable of carrying four or five times as many words as at present, and fewer persons would consequently be required to perform the work.Any person able to operate a typewriter can transmit messages by the Murray system.NOTES FROM THE CAPITAL.Ottawa, Nov.26.\u2014For the vacant post of deputy-adjutant-general at headquarters, the name is mentioned of Major H.A.Panet, D.8.0., of the Canadian Permanent Corps.who 18 now serving as adjutant of the Royal Military Co'leg: in| Fi Kingston.Major Panet ig son of the late Deputy Minister of Militia and De- THE MONTREAL D A ry Ÿ ngly to.tra DOMINION Lik | FORTIAND te LIVERPHOL.\u2019 I Weekly SatLings.: 8.Welshman.Dec = BB.Otbomny ss Doe, 1 380s of gi , ve 15 dé Sacrantont-\u2018atreet.Menton FURNESS, WITHY.¢ C0.CC ALEMITER);

Church.He based his remarks on Acts v., 29: \u2018We ought to obey God rather than man.\u2018This is such an obvious principle that it does not admit of debate,\u201d began Dr.Ross, referring to the text.\u2018The only possible difficulty is what does God re- quire of us?there can be no appeal from his decision.Now, we believe he has spoken in the bible, in nature and in the moral constitution of man.\u201cThou shalt not lie,\u201d \u2018Thou shalt not steal,\u201d are admitted to be words spoken wot only by Revelation, but by nature, nature around us and the higher nature within.No exigencies of our own need or of the presence of publie feeling around us can make that right which God has pronounced eternally wrong.God\u2019s commissions are not arbitrary, useless enactments.They are founded on the laws of our own moral | constitution, and our own highest good can be conserved only through obedience.\u2018It very often happens that in a politi- i cal contest in Canada,\u2019 continued th speaker, \u2018strong temptation is brought to \u2018 bear upon men to forget this principle.Party feeling and party exigencies press him in a wrong direction.To do what he thinks a great right, he is induced | to do a little wrong, and curb the cruel devil of the other eide of bis will.Again, \u2018 the prizes of political warfare are very great, and seem so very great that through very slight deviation from the path of moral rectitude they can be obtained.Now, I think it to be my duty to warn some of you against yielding to these temptations at this time._.\u2018ï know there is a great opposition among many Christian people to à minister saying anything at all about polities, especially in the pulpit.There are several reasons for this: .1.\u2018First, the very keen feeling which is aroused, makes men so censitive that they cannot listen with patience to anything which tells against their side.Every congregation has strorg and enthusiastic supporters of both parties in it, and the minister cannot deal \u2018with the sins of either side without offending some person, and it is good policy for him to keep quiet and say nothing.But a woe is pronounced against the minister when PRIZE WINNERS Among * Witness\u2019 Agents and Newsboys.The list of those who have got bank accounts started for increase of sale date are as follows: \u2014 ROBT.WALLACH, 107% St.Urbain

of these checks will be given for each dozen coupons cut from the \u2018Daily Witness,\u201d providing such coupons be brought in during the week of publication; also blanks may be had for securing new customers, and for each new subscriber agreeing to take the paper for one month or longer four of these checks will be given to the agent or npewsboy agree ing to deliver the papers.Any boy or girl under eighteen years old presenting six of these checks at the \u2018Witness\u2019 office, corner Craig and St.Deter streets, by 9 o\u2019clock next Saturday morning will be allowed to enter this contest.and will be given a receipt for the number of checks presented, and their names will be entered for a savings bank account, to be started or added to by us, provided they present 250 of these checks by New Years Day.On New Year's we expect to give one of the greatest banquets ever given In Montreal, and the ticket of admission to it will be a passbook from some savings bank to a boy or girl under eighteen years old, on which a credit has been made with these money prizes we are giving.By this plan some of our newsboys and agents can secure a prize each week, and this will add $9.00 or more in cash prizes to their savings bank account before this banquet, while it may take others several weeks to get their account started; but every boy or girl may have \u2018one before that time if he or she wishes it and will devote a little effort and energy to extending the sale of the \u2018Daily Witness.11 coupons and checks must be presented at the office each Saturday morning at 9 o'clock, for the six dates preceding, and a receipt secured for them; and each week a list will be published of those securing the prizes for the preceding week, and those who do not will have them placed to their credit for the next or ensuing week.If any person desiring further information about this contest will write an inquiry of not over twenty words addressed to Circulation Manager, \u2018 Daily Witness,\u201d signing his or her name and addréss, it will be answered in this column, and this and such answers will be the conditions of the contest If he has spoken, then every one speaks well of him.It is bis duty- to offend some people.The fact that some ate abnormally.sensitive about being found out in wrong doing is.no reason why: they shquld not be .Do riot let us be afraid of the anger; it is a good sign\u2014a sign that the conscience is working; that public opinion is feared.RELIGION MINGLED \u2018Second, a minister preach the Gospel.Certainly! But what is the Gospel?The Gospel is the news of salvation\u2014salvation accomplished and sealed in a right relation of the soul to God.The man who talks about the freeness of divine grace on Sunday ! and goes down street on Monday wo ) y voters, stuff ballot boxes and deébaue constituencies, needs the Gospel in the worst way, the Gospel of righteousness, the Gospel which the prophets of Israel preached to a corrupt nation.\u201cYou hear some men say,\u2019 continued Dr.Ross: \u201cThank God, I never mix my religion and my politics!\u201d Then his religion is only a sham, only a piece of cleverly acted hypocrisy, which will only serve to sink him in a deeper condem- pation.Is religion a form of words to be spoken of in a whining tone on Sunday?Then what have you given Christ?Only a fraction of your life.Will he be put off with such a pretence as this?Nay, verily! He must have the whole of life.He must have the secret intents and thoughts of mans heart\u2014the innermost plans and purposes of his soul.He must have your loyalty in every affair of your life.No man who is really saved will make Christ ashamed of him at the secret political caucus or in any of the relationships of private or business life.CL \u2018Some men who say that the minister should preach the Gospel make the plea to keep him from dealing with à eir sins.\u2019 1 © Here Dr.Roes illustrated his point by telling the story of the negro preacher who was requested by his congregation not to preach so much about the iniquity of lying and stealing, but to stick to the ospel.Soprery Christian elector\u2019 the reverend gentleman went on, \u2018ought to make his.influence felt in all that concerns the welfaré of his country.And as nota- ing influences more powerfullv the fî=- ture destinies of our country than the choice of the men who make its laws apd frame its policy.and the manner of their election to office the Christians of should always these men may be the right kind of men, and that they may be elected -in a pure and honorable way, but they ought all to take a hand in answering their own prayers.\u2018Every elector ought- to keep himself informed as to the affairs of his country.The intelligent study of our .country\u2019s development and future prospects and the policy best fitted to reach there, is an important part of & young man\u2019s intellectual culture.And in order: to obtain the necessary informætion it will be necessary to exercise some care.Jn examining the sources of it.On all disputed questions it is necessary torgesd both sides.Ordinarily one may depend on the reports of respectable .journals, but no man can commit lis cause entirely to the keeping of anv mewspa- per He must remember that the-elec- tor is the final arbiter of his countrv\u2019s destiny, and that therefore he is not an advocate retained to make the verv best of one side, but a judge who must keep his mind free to decide where the truth lies.He will naturally allv himself for executive efficiency with one of th: parties of the day, but he will not give up his own judgment and his sense.of right to its keeping.Much, less will he aecept without question the explanation of some shady transaction which party journals give but he will read between the lines, and labor to discover the truth.Truth is not an easy thing to get anywhere.God has so constituted the system of things amid which we live that truth is always the reward of severe intellectual labor.It does not drop into our mouths like the ripe fruit of the tropics.ELECTORS\u2019 INFLUENCE SHOULD BE FELT.\u2018Every Christian elector ought to make his influence felt in\u201d all the councils of his party.Some very good men say party politics are of the world and ought not to be touched by any Christian.Others say, \u201cParty politics are of the devil, and cannot be touched by any onc without moral contamination.\u201d Now, there has been too much ground in the past for this conclusion, but if ail Chris tians stand out of the political arena the matters will not get better, but worse, and we shall be deliberately handing over the government of this country to the Prince of Darkness.Do vou think that is a position which any Christian man can take without sin?Don\u2019t you think the author of our being will hold us, to an account for the way in which we have discharged our citizenship, as well as every other part of the possessions with which he has entrusted us?I belteve our opportunity and influence as citizens of a free and enlightened, land are among the most important gifts with which God has endowed us., \u2018I hold it un axiom, procceded Dr.Ross, \u2018that every Christian elector.will vole unless he is providentially hindered.But voting is not enough.Very often that is all that the party leaders in a community want the electors to do.Very often in the past the party caucuses were held in places stifling with tobacco smoke and the fumes of whiskey, and all the Christian \u2018men in the community were expected to vote without question for the men and measures that were adopted in this atmosphere, The party leaders of both sides ought to be made to feel that unless their candidates are in character and political record ebove suspicion and the methods to be adopted in every detail of the contest are such as will bear the light of heaven they cannot count on the support of-Christian men\u2014nay.that they our land ought not only to pray that bring the wrong-doers to justice, even if the wrongdoing was dome to help their side.If this were thoroughly \u2018understood there could be no such thing.as corruption, -And is it too much to expect this of Christian men?Why, these are enly the most elementary principles of Christian morality.Are they unattainable in Canadian politics in the twentieth century?TO PURIFY OUR POLITICAL SYSTEM.\u2018There is a very great need at the present time for the inost strenuous endeavors on the part of all good nen to purify our political system, the reverend gentleman went on.\u2018It sepms that in all our political contests, things are dome that ought neither to be done nor connived at by good men.I think it to be justly saal that we have made progress towards a higher idea once obtained here.First, the tone of newspaper discussion has risen to à higher plane.I remember the campaigns \u2018of thirty years ago, when the editorials of the most respectable journals were largely composed of personal abuse; when billingsgate and blasphemy were freely intermingled, and the sliug- ing of filth was considered the principal business of the moulder of publie opinion before an election.Now, the dis cussion is properly confined to party issues and the party\u2019 record.Second, theré is a greater semsitiveness of the public conscience to any breach of litical morality than there was then.e methods of American politicians have always cast a baleful influence over us in Canada.-We have unfortunately looked to them rather than to the nobler ideals of our motherland.It is always much easier to follow an evil example than a good one.Thirty years ago some forms of political corruption were considered smart tricks, and men openly boasted of them.Now, when the same things are done, they are hidden by the most skilful precautions and vehemently denied even after they have been conclusively proved.We have more stringent legal punishments now for political wrong-doing than formerly.But these punishments are not nearly severe enough yet.Not only the bribe giver, but the bribe receiver ought to suffer.And tamperers with the ballot box ought to be sent to the penitentiary for a long term of years.The increased sensitiveness of the public conscience will yet express itself in more stringent and far-reaching legislation.\u2018 But, although we have made some progress towards a Christian ideal, we are still, alas, far enough from it.CHEAPER THAN JUDAS ISCARIOT.\u2018 We have not yet risen above the vulgar practice of buying votes.Now here I know 1 venture on dangerous and fiercely disputed ground.But ! do not base my indictment on charges recklessly handed about by the party press, but by evidence uttered under vath in our courts of justice during ihe last eight years.Many of us remember the horior with which the Liberals regarded the corrupt practices of the Conservatives under the old regime.And we thought the millennium was about to dawn when they got into power.But some of the shadiest transactions of Canadian political history nave seen the light since then.Why, it has been proven that men, men made in the image of God; men that possess the glorious privilege of citizenship in this young and free country of ours, were bought for two dollars a head.They rostituted the noblest birthright of a ree man, and trailed their country\u2019s honor in the dust for this paltry sum.It reminds one of the time when Judas Iscariot was bought by the priests to betray his Lord.Even then they had to pay him fifteen dollars for the job.But -Canadians can be bought, it seems, for two dollars, the price of a spring lamb, and that not in benighted Que- bee, but in good, godiy Ontario.\u2018Now, I have ne doubt there are many respectable Liberals who have succeeded in persuading themselves that such things never happened\u2014that they are vile slanders of some enemy of the good cause.But when nen have been unseated by our courts on such evidence or have resigned under fear of exposure, does not this afford tolerably certain proof of the truth of tnese charges ?\u2018Others, while admitting the truth of these charges, say that we must not blame the best men of the party or the party leaders for the indiscreet zeal of some of the least conscientious men in it.No! The policy, apparently, has been to import certain scallawags from no one knows where, and let them do the dark work and keep the candidate and the best men studiously ignorant of these proceedings.But these unscrupulous adventurers are not in the business of corrupting men for their health, Some\u2019 one must furnish the five-dollar bills that are found near the gray mare cr in the bottom of the buggy.It is well known that where the parties are very nearly equally divided the result will depend on the purchasable element in the community, and both sides strain every nerve to get it.\u2018Let not the respectable men of either party who are studying the planets c looking for some kind of weather while these things are going on in their party think that we will absolve them rom all responsibility for it.Will uot their candidate quietly take possession of the seat which this work has purchased for him ?Did you ever hear of on?Tesigning when no election trial or threatened exposure hung over him, because he had discovered that there had been crooked work ?And how rare it is to hear of one who, even aite much doubtful practices have been brought to light, will not consent to a saw-off with a brother on the other side whose friends have been equally in- diacreet.\u2018Then, there are the attempts which are often made to buy constituencies by promises of public.works and special favors which axe not in the interests of the country, as a whole, but are.very much in the interests of this particular region.Very few men think that there is anything wrong in this They go, 1 suppose, on the principle that the man can count on their determined opposition, on' their straining every nerve\" to] financier.Certainly a member will watch the interests and express the needs of his own constitueney.But to \u2018ago.the!

SKILL.Mr.Miller tells of an incident that occurred one afternoon while he and Mrs.Miller were out hunting, that illus trates the wonderful instinct which the guides have for finding their way over mountain and through forest.A pause was made early in the afternoon on the particular occasion referred to, in order tbat the guide might scour the surrounding country for game with Mr.Miller's fine binocular.A herd of elk was finally discovered several miles off, and the three turned their horses in that direction and proceeded tc go after the game.About six o'clock when the party started to return to camp, the guide discoverd that the field glass which he had been carrying was missing.As the last time it had been used was when a \u2018stop had been made several hours before, Mr.Miller mentally bade good-by to it.The guide had: been leaning against a tree while using the glass, a tree that differed in no wise from thousands of others that covered the mountains.There was no travelled road to follow to regain the valuable binocular, no rticular attention had been paid to the locality, and yet when some distance from camp, the ide .informed | Mr.Miler that he thought by switching i off the road, he might be able to find the spot.This was done and in a few minutes later the guide was sure be could see the tree.À ride to this spot was rewarded, the glass being found where it had_been left on the groun1 after being removed from ite case.\u2014Sait Lake \u2018Herald.tlre.CLEARING FOR ACTION.Shore-going péople have rather a vague tidea as to the exact meaning of the phrase \u2018cleared for action, has occupied so conspicuous a place on headlines and contents-bills in the last day or two.Many seem to imagine that decks are only cleared when war is imminent, but, as a matter of fact, the process is part of the routine of naval practice.During tbe manoeuvres, for ! instance, to clear.decks for action sird- ply means that all impedimenta, unnecessary woodwork, etc.is marked in pipe-clay with a big \u2018L\u2019 meaning that j on active service articles so marked would be landed.If the fleet is at Gibraltar or Portsmouth such impedimenta would be put on shore in boats, which is.no doubt, what Lord Charles Beres- ford caused such.excitemgnt by doing lately.The process is only= an expensive one when news of the outbreak of hostilities reaches ships at sea or far from a convenient port; for in these cir- cumstances everythfng superfluous has to be thrown overboard.Until \u2018this happens the public ma \u2018Britigh ships cleared for action\u2019 Jn

shape of a commission on ail the food and temperance drinks he sells, bur none shall be allowed on the whis- i year.other pumping house should be erected at the same reservoir, and that the en- gifieers should be paid by the Dominion Government.\u2018Ive saloonkeeper, Prof.Mucnaughten declares, has as much right to earn his living in a t-ade licensed by law as any other shopkeeper, but he does not ex- plein what right a government has to éstablish government shops, and pay salaries to government shopkeepers tor selling a beverage that no buman being reaily needs to drink, that causes trom three-fourths to nine-tenths of oll the crime in the land, and that costs Canada alone forty million dollars every A He condemns prohibition on the ground tbat it does not work but when the

of the subject matter thev were criticizing,\u201d eays that they are partial persons, \u2018crying and sighing for the moon of prohibition\u2019 and insists that he is\u2019 advocating \u2018not the petty details of the system,\u2019 but the \u2018principle of it.I heard John B.Finch, ex-zovernor of Nebraska, who framed the high-license law of that state, say.on a Detroit platform, to a house where standing- room could hardly be found, that that bigh-license law was the greatest mistake of his life.No prohibitionist 1 have heard, and I have heard many, claims more than that no law \u2018regulating\u2019 any evil is as \u2018easily enférced as a law that prohibits it.We have as many licenses in Montreal as in the whole of Ontario, yet we have hundreds of.unlicensed places in full blast as well.A law is simply a tool with which to accomplish a piece of work\u2014to achieve government.It would be just as reasonable for a woodman to stand forty rods away from his axe and condemn that inanimate tool for not cutting down the tree itself.Who is it after all who would pay the salaries of these proposed government saloonkeepers, but the sober, hardworking members of the community.It may be scientific to force me to pay heavy taxes for food and clothing in order that the government, supposed to represent me.may be able to pay salaries to government officials to sell what ends men to jails and asylums and then force me to pay more taxes to keep them in food and clothes while they are in these places.But I submit that the man who insists on having a saloon to accommodate him with beer and whiskey has just as uch key and beer.But no matter how little refreshments he seils, or how much whiskey, his salary goes on just the i same.| What a help this will be to a man | trying to drag himself out of the clutches of a habit stronger than he is himself.| Suppose the Gothenburg system -has re- ! duced the number of saloons bv one- third; suppose ome-tkird of the

thev be very likely to secure any less drink if one of these was closed and the other made more attractive still, with a few salaried government officials \u2018behind the bar?According to this reasoning a glue factory opposite the McGijil professor's street door would give out only savory odors if run by the government.A tal.low-rendering establishment would ba welcomed so long as every workman wore a government badge, and, just let the Dominion Government take over the high-level pumping station and the smoke, that under mere civic control so irritated \u2018the whole M-Gill

nation.The cry is raised, \u2018Reform the traffic!\u201d Men will have liquor; we cannot prevent that, s0 we must make the best of a confessedly bad business, and make it legal for them to have it, even if the taxes, etc, become very oppressive, We have heard the statement that the Gothenburg system deals with the liquor traffic on scientific lines, but is the claim borne out by facts?Another claim is that by this system is secured the-elimi- nation of private gain, all profits from the sale of liquor being given in aid of local rates.One item of information I wish to.lay The only

\u2018Witness\u2019) .\"Sif \u2014The Rev.Mr.MacLaren, writing favorably concerning church union, says existing churches differ as to doctrine, the keynote of union should be, not compromise, but toleration.This could become easy if both sides (or all sides) v-ould find the great general: truth which embraces the particu- Ine.truths which severally each side holds.For instance, ns a matter of fact, one side holds that before people should become, or could become, Christians, they should be well taught the great truths.of God, or the truths that the Syixit of God has revealed for the good of men, such as God\u2019s almighty power, his ability to know everything and see everything and hear everything; his having created everything in its own special order, und with its own especial laws necessarily conditioning if, and therefore the laws of God with reference ip man must necessarily be followed in order to his true and proper development or felicitous life, and the breaking of those laws simply means mere failure, destruction, ruin; that God, as man's creator, has the right to insist on the correct and complete and perfect development of man as a created organic being, his development in the divine likeness which was God\u2019s ideal and design; and that God has the right to punish any failure to come up to such standard or ideal or design; that God, for his love of his world, has formed a plan by which he can cleanse man from sin and start him again in a new pure.right, correct life\u2014the true life (a correct state of the human person or being), can give him the sprit (and willingness) to do right or shun sin, and can give him the power to do so; or in brief, the one side holds that a person should be well taught the sacred truths of God\u2019s existence and attributes and perfections, of the necessity and efficacy of true prayer to him, of Jesus Christ's mediation and atonement, of a elcan right, new spirit, mind, heart and life, of rewards for rightness of living, and terrible punishments for evil, sin, badness, foulness, wickedness, of forgiveness and remission of sins, and of repentance, faith, hope, love, holiness und heavenly and eternal perfect life.The other side practically holds that one should lead the sinner at once to God, to his throne, his mercy seat, and t him at once to believe in \u2018him, in is willingness and wish to have mercy.to pardon and forgive ain and drive it away, and to give the seeker hope and and heart, and spirit, and power.ow.each of these views in itself is good and also true.and will re CHICKERING STYLE

can get their bad, evil, desperate spirit changed to one of goodness hope, brightness, strength, you will have started them on a food godly life, which with the help of God may endure.Also it is true that in the present time, when there is so much questioning about all the great problems of life and living and being, and God and his relations to human beings.it becomes im- -| peratively necessary to teach the stable, certain and undoubted truths coricern- ing.these that are found in the Bible.e real great truth that embraces these two modes or views is the undoubted biblical idea (seem more clearly in the original Greek than in any of the versions from it), of it being necessary for a person to have a new (or newborn) nature in heart, in spirit, in Mind.Now, a new mind means a great deal, It means baving new, and right, and clean, pure, godlike views, ideas, principles.The Greek word \u2018metanoeo,\u2019 which in the New Testament is translated \u2018repent,\u2019 means changing the mind (views, modes of thinking of the great facts of life and being and God), as well as change of feelings or emotions, or will, John Wesley is said to have been one of the best Greek scholars of his time.No doubt the great truth so especially insisted on by bim, and by those who endorse his views, the truth of the necessity of a new heart, was seen by him, especially and clearly in the Greek Testament, and in the words and phrases that there describe its phases.sides the word metanoeo, the Greek words that are translated faith or belief, and love or charity, and forgiveness or remission of sins, and others, all refer to having a new and godly or odlike mind, as well as a new feart.Without a doubt, the great Biblical truth (seen without obscurity in the original) of the necessity of a person having a new nature and life, a new mind, spirit, heart, soul, personality, being, is the truth that will embrace and reconcile the diverging views of the uniting churches.M.R.ROWSK.Bath,

plants as primpossy and ainerarias on the bottom.ere, too, will thrive the palms and geraniums, and even it they drop à few leaves, new ones will grow.* Cover the shelves with a quiet pattern of linoleum.tacked on, it can be washed when dusty and wiil last for years.In planning for bloom have plenty of bulbs, and they will keep the window full of interest and fragrance.Wipe the leaves of the palms, and spray the other plants.An aszalea will do best in a shady corner after it comes into full bloom.Take a little time every day to look over the plants, and keep the ground loose with an old table fork.On the by shelf can be a few vines, such as the Madeira vine, Passion flower or others that will succeed If trained along the sides and make 8 framework for the window.SEVERAL QUESTIONS.Amateur.\u2014The roses in this garden ere turned gently over and a shovel full of earth placed over the roots and along the stem, making sure that the lower part Is quite out of sight.This has been the practice for many years.Straw or litter attracts mice, the roses are safest under the soil covering.Pinks should winter out of doors In your locality with a slight covering of leaves.As for the Orchid Lycaste Skinneri it is a favorite with growers and any of the plant dealers can put you in the way of purchasing and give prices.It is found in a native state from Mexico to Peru and requires plenty of sunlight and heat.During winter the night temperature must range from 50 deg.to 55 deg., and in the daytime it should be 65 deg.to 70 deg.This orchid requires a good supply of water at the roots and should never be allowed to become dry even when resting.Light syringing is beneficial at all times when air can be admitted.Plants may be increased by cutting.through the rhizome between the pseudo- bulbs, two of each being left to each plece.The soll should be equal parts of chopped sod and decomposed leaves, with a little sphagnum to keep the soil porous and retain molsture.It.should become neurly dry occasionally to prevent it from becoming sour, but in such a compost, with pot culture the Lycaste is possible to the amateur.CHRYSANTHEMUM.A question comes from an amateur regarding the cultivation of this flower, but ft is rather late to be of use this year.Buds were set during late summer If plants were cared for and they should new be in the best of bloom.eping in à cool place will retard growth and flowering a little, but by the end of the year most of the varieties are ready to be set away In a cool cellar.There have been over one hundred books written on the Chrysanthemum, and it 13 conceded to be the flower of the east as the rose is of the west, The hardy out-of-door Chrysanthemums are very satisfactory, and even now can Bot if affection

GATHERER.A Reader\u2019 writes an interesting letter, and says: \u2018The doctor ordered me to take.18 ride every day\u2014but it seemed à waste of time.However, I tried to obey orders,and going through a bit of shaded wood: bee came interested at tlhe sight of so many ferns, growing in luxuriant beauty,among the trees.Then I wanted to gather some, and took & b>y with me the next time: to dig them up.We had a shaded place near the house, where I thought they might live, und they have borne removal in s most surprising manner, It seemed to give me & vew Interest to study them up, as from the thickets we brought treasures of Brake Ferns, and from the valley slopes, the Maiden Hair and Polypodium.They adapted themselves to & little rockery near « the house dow, and some of the smaller plants are in pots for table decoration.| Some friends were admiring them the other | day, 1 nthe cool, north window, and one \u2018remarked: \u201cWell, I always thought a fera was a fern, but it's wonderful what a distinctive character they have.\u2019 So from the].heart of a green leaf is much of beauty at every seeson.\u2019 PLANTING FOR OTHERS.A correspondent writes that she loves flowers,
