But it can hardly be ex pected that the Goveramevt will deprive Dr. Anderson of his residence in the college ani not add to his salary an amount sufficient to cover,or almost cover, | the rent of a house elsewhere.

—say $200 a year—is egualto a capital sum of $5000 invested at 4 per cent, The addi- tion of this amount to the cost of the build- ing would raise the capital sum to be bor- rowed by the Province in respect to it to close upon, if not fully,$40,000,or just about double what a building containing both couvocation hail and principal’s apartments would have cost had the plans been put up to Competition and the best plan been selected,

It is notto be forgotten that while the Government has agreed to pay $28,000— and will certainly pay $5000 or $6000 more —for a new college building, nothing what- ever has yet been done towards unravel. ling the tangled web in which the Asylum contract is involved, The lunatics, com mitted to the care of the Proviuce for hospital treatment ard cure, are still com- pelled to sleep ten in a bedroom and to lie about in the unfinished attic of the build- ing among ventilating ehafis and other lum ver,gwhere their cure is rendered im, possible. The eituation in respect to our Hospital for the Iosane and tue unfortu- nate beings crowded within its unhappy walls, is, we hesitate not to say, disgrace~ ful to the Province. But the able Liberals who now govern this country are ap parently content to permit the indefinit continuance of the muddle in which their

contract with Mr. Lowe is involved. Mark

the difference between their treatmeny of Mr. Lowe and their treatment ment of Messrs. MacDonald & Schurman. The errors in both cases were not those of the contractors but of

The error in respect to the asylum was in the yery foundation of the building. Tne college contractors could have gone on with their work without incurring extra expense. So they were courteously asked to accepta new plan at the hands of another architect; and if they have suffered any loss or dam- oge on account of the delays to which they have been subjected the amount will, with- out doubt, be semehow made good. On the other hand, Mr. Lowe was refused compensation for making a foundation for his building, refused another architect, refused every reasonable concession that he asked and compelled to lie out of the cost i (amounting to about $8000) of all the materials that he placed upon the ground, in good faith, before the discovery of the architect’s mistake. Why this difference in the treatmeat of the Government’s con: tractors? Is it because the blunder was in the foundation vf the Asylum annex instead of the superstructure? Or is it because Mr. Lowe is a native

—Farming corrects a report that co- operative pork factories have been estab- lished at Stouffville and Bowmanville, Untario, and remarks: “It is needless to say tbat it is @ great surpriee to us to learn at this late date that theee organizations, formed last spring, have not yet commenced operations. The tact that these co-operative concerns have not yet got woder way bears out our contention in last week’s issue in regard to the great risk and outlay involved in the establishiug of co-operative pork factories. Had it been an easy matter to equip and place these factories on a work-~ ing basis they would no doubt have been in operation ere this.

—They do some things very well in the State of Maine. There was a teain regi- ment in the camp at Chickamauga that suffired very seriously from the ebauge of climate and the perils of camp life, It had lost furteen men from camp fevers, had a large proportion of its members in the hospi al, and was losing one man a day. The surgeons said that the best chance for the sick men was to take them home. The government gave the invalids thirty~ days fuclough,and the state of Maine hired a big engine and seven Puilmen eleeping cars to bring them home. One hundred and twenty Maine soldiers sick with typhoid and malaria! fever and other diseases wert loaded into that train, and started for the north. Off they went to Cincinnati, to Buffalo, Albany, Boston, and on to Port- land, and the country of pine-trees and gravite. Supplies, ordered ahead by tele- graph, were furniebed for them witbont movey or price, chiefly by the Red Cross. Delayed ten hours as Cleveland by a break down, their train was sent to lake- shore, where it got the cool lake breezes. All those sick solders got cack to Maine alive,and most of them improved very decidedJy on the journey. A good job that and well done, and an incident ofthe war worth remembering .

The business of the session began with the appointment of the various committees to report at a later sederunt.

Then followe? the repcrts of the Presby

terial societies, which were read by repre- sentativss of tne Presbyterials, These were most encouraging. A large number of new auxiliaries are reported, and a great i: = crease in interest throughout tie whole society, Halifax has lost over 13 auxili-

The new mission field which the church has ju opened at Corea has stimulated the society to make great efforts, and some of tne auxiliaries have done nobly. Antigonish deserves especial notice having raised $300. Tke evening session or Tuesday was devoted to a discussion on Mission Band work. Miss Carmichael, of New Glas
