[" ak.ae Candia Gleaner Huntingden, Que, Nov.2, 2006.NOTES OF THB WEEK \u2014 .When it is officially reported that the estate of the Toronto distiller, Gosderham, will realise ten and à half million dollare the strength of the Uquor-traîfie may be guessed « There are other large distillerien besides the Gooderham, and where men make mil- lone they will fight desperately.Ontario gets in succession tax half à million dollars, a mere trifle out of what the dead-man pocketed in his life-time and a shadowy compensation for all the evil the whiskey hs sold wrought The government, which keeps the mixing of methylated spirits In itsown handa in order to prevent the excise being defrauded, announces a reduction of 16 cents a gallon, the price being now eighty cents.If what the Quebec Chronicle alleges about the graft in supplying alcohol to the government laboratory be true, the price might be easily seventy cents.Altho treated in a humorous way by the U.S.press an incident in the career of the republic has happened that forebodes serious consequences.The min- tater Ol Japan at Washington made formal complaint that subjects of the Mikado were being unjustly treated on the Pacific coast.The instances he specified were that Japanese children were not allowed to attend school and that restaurant keepers in San Fran- cleco were boycotted and had their windows broken.In brief, that the whites along the Pacific treated Japs as they do Chinese and negroes.This, the minister gave to be understood would not besubmittedto by his master, Japs must be treated as whites or he would know the reason why.The old excuse in international! complications, that the federal government has no authority to interfere with the domestic legislation of States, was not + invoked, but the Japanese minister was assured energetic measures would be taken to rectify the wrongs complained of.Not a order was sent to the governor of Cal- ffornia to remove all against Japs.That the Californians will obey remains to be seen.If they do not, there will be trouble, for the Washington authorities claim to have the power to compel States to observe the terms of treaties made with foreign Powera.What is claimed by the Mikado to-day may be followed tomorrow by a like demand from the emperor of China, throwing this continent open to the East.In the new attitude of Japan the world sees a result of the late war.Japan knows her power, and she ie ready to claim for her people equality in every land.The yellow peril i» no myth.The changed view of the federal authorities with regard to treaty obligations is of importance to Canada.Take for instance one treaty out of many\u2014the Washington treaty negotiated by Sir John Macdonald.One clause of it specified that on Canada's throwing open the St.Lawrence and Welland canals to U.8, shipping on the same terms as enjoyed by Canadians, the canals of New York State would, in return, de similarly opened to Canadian vessels.Canada observed her part of the bargain.U.B.boats pase up and down our canals request, but an restrictions free, but no Canadian barge can enter the Brie canal.When complaint was made, the reply was the federal government could not cosrce the State gov- emnent of New Tork.The day when steam will give place te electricity, as the power used eon railways, comes nearer on reading that last week an elestric train ran intothe Grand Central station, New York.During the present month all trains on the Hudson division of the N.Y.0.are, 1 to be ted in like .Tas\u2019 1 being erected on a site close to the HEMMINGFORD ol change has besh made at eROFMOUS ex , contractor Hunter.pense, Which the company would wot \u2014 suit anything on wheels, the élesarding of steam will receive additiona! im- potus.A dendiook thet would compel » change in the constitution, often and often averted, has, to! all appearance, set in between the house of lords and the houss of commons.The latler body passed amendments to the education act which took away from it all sectarian features.The act was offensive to Methodisis and other dissenting bodies to such a degres that many conscientious men and women preferred to have their goods sold by the ballitf or go \u2018to jail rather than pay taxes to support schools which taught doctrines they did not believe.The demand, that schools supported by public money should be publie schools and not ths schools of any church, was so reasonable that the house of commons, by & great majority.took them from under the control of the church of England and of the church of Rome.On the reassembling of parliament last week, the bill came before the house of lords, when it was rejected by 256 to 566.The clause on which the voie was taken was that children were not to be compelled to attend school during the time devoted to religious instruction.By \u201creligious the lords mean the Anglican and Catholic cate- chiems.The vote revealed a union of Church of England and Catholic peers, of home rulers and ultra-Conservatives to uphold denominational schools.That the commons will submit to the dictation of the lords is Impossible.The bill will be reenacted and sent up again.On the point ut issue there can be no compromise\u2014the nation, at the laa.*.ccilon, apoke decisively cn tne side of undenominational schools and should the house of lords persist in setting at naught the will of the people that house will be reformed.Instruction\u201d The resentment of New Foundland at the Imperial authorities in overriding their legislation, in making a treaty with the States regarding the fisheries is deep and strong, and an ugly temper is being displayed.The defence of the Imperial government ie that their duty to ths empire at large forbade their risking a misunderstanding with the United States for the sake of a handful of fishermen.It is another instance of the old weakness in the colonial tie.Newfoundland has | cause to be indignant, yet would she be as well off as she is were she én- dependent and left to frame her own treaties?If she was insistent in her policy of treating American poachers in her waters, the U.S.might treat her as she is treating Cuba.The agitation in Wisconsin to heavily tax the railways, has resulted in \u201880 large an income being derived from them that this year there will be no! need to collect any tax from the people, the whole burden of the State expenditure being shouldered on the rallways, which are taxed on their mileage and thelr receipts.This does not imply that the farmers of Wisconsin are not still paying a State tax: all the change means ts that they have compelled the railways to be the collectors of that tax.The companies have no gold mine to draw the amount of the tax levied on them.They have to pay it out of their earnings, and, consequently will have to increase their charges to the publie.Horrible rallway accidents have been frequent of late, but the worst is one a 6: tm lie 205 ORMSTOWN William MeDougail'e sale on Tussdsy was largely stiended, and geod prices were realised.Mr Gavin conducted the sale.Notwithetanding the fact that eur stores are offering 366 and Me for tresh ogge, yot for the most part of this week not an egg could be got in any store in town.Butter retails at 2% and 3c per Ib.The Rev.O.J.Booth, a forcible and sloguent speaker.preached in Bt James church Sunday morning.So impreseel were the congregation with the speaker that they hope to hear him again in the nesr future.The anniversary services of the Methodist church on Sunday and Monday were most successful.The Rev.H.8.Osborne, B.D., of Mountain-st.church, Montreal, preached the sermons, which were of a high order.On Monday evening the annual supper for the congregation and friends took place.Many members of other congregations attended, with the result that the auditorium of the church and the annex were filled, After supper, the pastor, Rev.G.W.8.Coates, presided, and a choice program was rendered.Mrs Perley, soprano soloist in Crescent-st.Presbyterian church, rendered three solos.She Is an accomplished singer.with a full, flexible voice, and will be welcomed back to Ormatown.The Rev.H.8.Osborne gave an eloquent and inspiring address upon the subject of \u201cA purposeful life.\u201d The choir of the church rendered an anthem, and the Rev.W.H.Stevens of Huntingdon felicitated the pastor and church upon the success of their anniversary exercises.There was no charge made of admission to the supper, but the offering taken was a good one.BEAUHARNOIS The farmers find plowing easier with the recent rains, but the roads are rot improvel thereby.Ths atoker who tell from the train near Woodlands was carried to thecity and placed in hospital, at last accounts was not getting better.Our drinking water is again almost thick enough for both meat and drink.Whether the dredge working In the bay dumps its refuse too near the intake pipe, or the blue St Lawrence has become riled\u201d at something, I cannot say.\u2018The peopleof the Presbyterian church hers are pleased that thelr pastor is to remain with them.v St.LOUIS De GONZAGUE The anniversary services and harvest home social last week passed off en- Joyably, altho some were kept away | by the wet weather.Rev.H.J.Mc- Diarmid of St Lambert officiated at both services and addressed the Monday evening gathering.The choir were commended for their part of the proceedings and the tea-table arrange- mente, in the basement, were of the usual high order.Mr J.W.Kilgour.of Beauharnois, sent a telegram, regretting his inability, owing to weather conditions, to fill the position of chairman, and Mr W.T.Gardner was chosen in his stead.A pleasing event of the evening was the presentation, by Mr James Black, in the name of the congregation, of a handsome gold watch and chain, accompanied by an address and a sum of money to Rev.S.F.Mc- Cuaker, the pastor.To the Rev.B.F.McCusker: Knox Church, St Louis de Gonsague, Que., Dear Sir.\u2014The people of thischurch beg leave to take this opportunity of expressing their appreciation of your faithful and efficient work, especially during the past two years.It has been a time of more than ordinary exertion, and we are grateful for your efforts to keep the gospel light shining in this place.We pray that you may long be spared to pursue the vocation to which, in the Providence of God, you have been called; and we trust we may, as a united church, continue to uphold your hands In this work.As an expression of our esteem and best wishes, we beg you to accept this watoh, October 32nd, 1906.COVEY HILL that happened Sunday afternoon.While & train was about to enter Atlantic, completely destroyed by fire with ail!

INSTITUTE.Valleyfield, Oct.39.\u2014The distribution of primes to the senior classes of the Gault institute took place on Saturday afternoon .in the presence of a large number of parents and friends.Dr Sutherland, chairman of the school board, presided, and with him were the other trustees, James A.Robb, mayor of Valleytield, and Louis Simpson, gen- oral manager of the Montresl Cotton Co, and Mr Bergevin, the member of the county in the Quebec legislature, and Prof.Robertson, ot the McDonald college, at Saint Anne de Bellevue.Rey.R.G.Ascah.B.A.and Rev.John Scanlon, also had seals on the pist- form.The Chairman read telegrams from Major Stephens, M.L.A., who was to have given an address, and rom Me 8.H.Ewing, president of the Montreal Cotton company.expressing regret at their unavoidable absence.After a short programme by the school.the prises were distributed by Dr Sutherland, who then called upon Mr Bergevin for a short address.Mr Bergevin was given a hearty reception.He said he had not expecled to make a speech, but was very glad to extend his congratulations to the pupils and teachers of the Gault institute on their excellent programme, and on the excellence of the work which he had been examining in the clase rooms.His first knowledge of English had been gained in the little English school in Valleyfield, long before the Gault institute was built, and he was always glad to show his appreciation of the work the English schools in Valleyfield were doing.He sald that education; had better prospects in the province of Quebec now than ever before.There should be no distinction between French and English, but all should strive to build up one great nationality.He was glad to may that it was likely that the greater part of the increased subsidy from the Dominion gov- ament would go to education.Mr Bergevin closed by congratulating Norman Dowd who had won his medal, for French, on hie having done so well in his examinations in June\u2014standing first in the province, in the second academy class.Dr Robertson congratulated Valley- field on its school.Its founder must have been & wise man.He who builds took place, we may say the turnout was not

want in a cow.\u201d said Mr Stephen.\u201cA good constitution, a strong back and a well- formed udder with moderately large, well placed teats.Too much attention has been paid to the demand of the show ring and too little to the commercial qualities of our dairy cows.I showed for a few years at some of the leading fairs; but when I found that If I expected to win prizes, I had to name a choice between developing my eows along the lines of milk production and constitutional vigor, as against fancy points in breeding, I dev cided I would let the show ring go.\u201d \u201cHow did you get started in Ayrshire breeding?\u2019 was asked.\u201cMy father started breeding Ayr.shires in 1860.\u201d replied Mr Stephen.\u201cAt that time he had an exceptionally good Ayrshire cow from which he bred most of his stock.We have never Wught a cow siace.All my stosk has been bred from that foundation.\u201d Saunt cow in the herd.On being enk- od how he managed .to kesp his cows in such good condition, while at the ; Deiryman.AS an institute speaker he same time maintaining thelr flow [ milk, Mr Stephen replied, \u201cThe care given Un WI a mal to i WITH Re rer ti : s | MARAISD mr DAIRY BOAT OLD LONDON FOR A YEAR appearence after it matures.| try to] HUNTINGDON .doaré- e re dr Er prie de 3 kesp my salves growing steadily.They ~The bargain made by James Good We Want Ta Oct.36.\u2014137 boxes of chess James Holiday & Sea ni At 83 Shuterat.Montreal, om the are given plenty of food and thus never fellow, Chatesugusy, fer the W.P- où and only 30 of butter.Creameries !
