the address.In the absence of Mr Fielding there is delay in taking thie up the real business of session.The outcry as to the scandal of making Mr Marcil speaker had and he was chosen Mr Borden.in his usual milk-and-water style alluded to the charges made against him no effect, without opposition, yet lacking the for a division.That Mr Marcil used the publie chest to secure his election for courage \u2018to ask the county of Bonaventure has been conclusively proved, indeed, no other proof than the public accounts iis needed, Many of the works built with public money were unnecessary and undertaken to give work to the habitants, The discovery of & new silver mining district, which has been given the name Gowganda, is exciting the people of western Ontario.and there is a proposal the province build a branch to con- 50 miles west of the Temiskaming railway.The new district is 80 miles (due north of Sudbury and nect it with its Teniskaming road, It is spoken of as a second Cobalt, and speculators are at work selling shares, preying on the credulity of the people.Instead of retiring from public life as a result of his defeat in Victoria, the member for Com- mox - Atlin has been induced to resign and the Hon.Mr Temple- man will run for it and, if suc- seat in the cabinet, That Mr Sloan who thus retires will be compensated in some way at the public expense is \u2018a matter of course, cessful, retain his The report of Judge Cassels on his , investigation the methods of the department of marine \\and fisheries into furnishes facts that humiliate every reader who wishes to see the country honestly governed, Wherever the judge went, from Ottawa to Halifax, he found men who used their office to enrich themselves, The officials of Montreal and Sorel came out of the enquiry best; the worst were those of Quebec and Halifax.Officials endorsed accounts that were grossly overcharged and shared in the plundering of the public chest, The judge gives lists of of/icials who did this and in many adds the proved\\to have been taken, Worse than direct stealing, is the destruction of that would have thrown light on the extent of the robberies, One go- between, a Mr Merwin, a friend instances amounts documents of a cabinet minister, pocketed at least $46,000 commission on goods he ¢ cered, To allege.As is being done, that Mr Brodeur did not know what was going on in his department is to declare he is an imbecile, With the revelations of Judge Cassels\u2019 report before him, telling o! mismanag:- ment of public affairs and of sye tematic robbery, he ought to have the decency to resign, Mr Fleidiey\u2019 contiaumi do For a AEN ad has Sp row.That Grand Trunk Pacific railway, that was to be built with surpluses and the taxpayers never feel it, is taking millions of borrowed money, For the latest loan, 80 million dollars, Mr Fielding is paying 3.3-4 per cent, interest, and accepting $99.25 for each {Hundred dollar bond, The government is paying nearly one per cent.more interest to English millionaire money-lenders than it is allowing depositors in its savings- bank, Is that fair to the people who have to pay the taxes?If money costs the 8.3-4 in England, why take ad- government vantage of our own people by paying them only 3 per cent.interest on their hard-won savings?Mackenzie King was commissioned to inquire into the cause of the troubles in the cotton trade, and in carrying out his orders took evidence at Valley- field among other places, His report has been made public, and will please neither the members who own the mills nor the hands who work in of the companies them, for lhe finds serious fault with both, First of all, hie disposes of the pretence \u2018lat the tariff had anything to do with the reduction of wages that led to the strike, The mills.in Canada, he declares, were doing fully better than those in the United States and Britain, A period of the trade and Canada shared in it.In meeting their shrinking revenues he blames the companies depression had overtaken in seeking to save by reducing only the wages of the operatives No reduction was made in the and there was no cut in the dividends, He also finds fault with the curt manner in which the reduction of salaries of officials, wages was made, holding there ought to have been conferences the companies are oppressive in ex- and explanations, He holds acting

were more actuated by personal enmities and ambitions than desire to further the interests of the operatives, To avoid future strikes Mr King makes a number of suggestions based on a mutual

of these was a great liner, wich steaming alongside the Florida, took on board not only th2z passengers of the Republic but also the 900 frightened emigrants.The captain of the Republic declared his

by the senator, \u201cWe never expect to lift the blacks high enough ourselves, or allow anybody else to lift them high enough, to put their heels on our necks or govern us again, and the vonflict of

well as in the financial and other conditions indicated by tho ports, These shiowed an actual expenditure on congregational work \u2018for the year of $2073, while the contributions for missions and

for, re- various per missions, &c.A total per member of $6.77, and per family of $18.58.He also drew attention to the large number of families not on the list of contributors to missions, and said by these falling into line a considerable impetus would be given tn the forward movement in miss.on work at the same time stating that the ideal to be aimed at was, each member giving for this work, as an act of worship.Much of the routine work of the meeting was set aside to make way for ans address by Mr Robort Munrc of Montreal, on the forward movement.Thougl a busy man, as manager of a large business concern, he gives much time and thought to this movement, and his sincerity is evidenced by the fact that he is a contributor to its furtherance to the amount of $15 per week, His address, which was listened to with marked attention, gave special prominence (to the facts that foreign missions are remarkably successful, \u2018that the present degre: of effort is not adequate to meet the need of the case, and that the abundant wealth in the Christian church makes it casily possible for il to give the Gospel to the tieathen in this generation, A buss load of young people, representing the C, E, society of Valleyfield, visited the C E.society here and were entertained to tea in MacDougall hall.Several hours were spent very pleasantly and the visitors started on their return journey

the afternoon being devoted to business and consideration of methods to increase the usefulness of the auxiliaries.The delegates present who took part in the discussions were\u2014 Mrs (Rev,) Lawson, Lacolle Mrs D, Hodgson, Lacolle Mrs Jas, Winter, Ormstown Mrs Alex, Sadler, Ormstown Mrs Alex, Mills, Ormstown Mrs John Winter, Ormstown Miss Lloyd, Orinstown Mrs Manning, Franklin Centre Mrs Hanna, Franklin Centre.Besides these, there was a good representation of members o! the Huntingdon auxiliary, the president, Mr: Jas.Winter, in the chair, The attendance at the evening meeting, considering the dangerous condition of the roads, was creditable, Rev.W.H.Stevens presided, An address ef welcome to the visiting delegates was(read by Mrs T.W.Kelly, and gracefully {responded to by Mrs James Winter, Mrs Kelly in her address stated the W.M,S.was organized (in 1880, had now nearly 900 auxiliaries, with 40 thousand members, Last year they (had raised $85,000, which was spent in maintaining woman missionaries and schools for heathen girls, The program included a motion song, descriptive of the life of a Chinese girl, a recitation by Alexa Chalmers, and solos by Ruby Biggar and Mrs Stevens, The feature of theo evening was the address by Mrs W.Grieve Nichol, who directed attention to the character of tie immigrants who have becen flocking into Canada during the past 8 years, Drawn mostly from the lowest class of their respective countries they came to us lacking in all the attributes that we wish to have in Canadian citizens, not only ignorant in the educational sense but of how to live .decently, while religiously they are practically heathens.We have foreign mission work at our door and the churches were beginning to wake up to what their duty was, After giving details of what little was being done in Montreal with its new element and in the Northwest with the Galicians and Doukojo- bors, she pointed to facts to il- lustiate how the church of Rome was following out patiently farsighted designs to ultimately bring the Northwest subject to its contro!, Mission-work on the Pacific coast brought up the Chinese and Japanese, of whose character and abilities she gave much information.In Canada we see only the coolie, or lowest class of Chinese, and are not to judge by them of the higher and especially of the ruling class, who are intellectual and of great administrative ability.China is waking to the fact that she must acquire Western civilization, and this she is getting not from England or the United States but from Japan, which, since the war with Russia, is looked up to by all Asia, and from Japan a supply of instructors of all kinds is sought, Within a few years China, with ite 400 millions of people, will be the controlling nation of the world, and it was for us to say whether it would exercise that power on Christian or heathen lines, Mrs Nichol here gave an interesting sketch of the awaking of Japan and of its discarding of old traditions, illustrating how great the change has been by the life of the empress of Japan, who had emerged from the seclusion adjudged women for centuries and entered actively into whatever work promised to elevate her people, The change she had wrought by example in the education of her family and of girls in general was described.In speaking of the devotion of the women of Japan Mrs Nichol told how, to raise money to help the soldiers at the front during the war, they had given up smoking and the dressing of their hair by barbers, She spoke of the Japanese As A wonderful people, with many excellent qualities, and hejd it they were converted from their idols their coming would benefit Canada, They were such skliful farmers, that, placed on what we term the barren lande of the Northwest, ' they would make Nor'\u2018west, they would make them blossom, Mrs Nichol, who ls a fluent and most pleasing speaker, closed by explaining a number of curios, with which she illustrated the habits and dally- life of the Japs, Mrs Luwson moved a resolution, thanking the ladles of Huntingdon for thelr hospitality and Mrs Nichol and the others who had taken part in the evening's proceedings, -On Tuesday the prospects of the Howick and Ormatown clubs for the governor-general's prize were [blasted by, the Montreal} and on FHeather clube, Montreal beatin Howick by 13 and t Heathers beat Ormstown by 8.Howick players were\u2014J.Ness, Stewart, Abbott, A.Logan (skip), 14 ;
