to maintain every point in the position she

in Our opinion,

has taken regarding the protection of our

fisheries, there ar» points in questions ol

minor importance on which she might, we think, waive her strictly legal rights out of

regard for good feeling and neighborly in-

tercourse with the United States. One of the points raised within the past two or three weeks is that of the discrimination made by the Dominion Government be tween vessels coming through our canals und proceeding to United States ports, and ves : eding to Movtreal. It appears th e all vessels passing through Can sis nals pay coils, at the same rates, those (whether Canadian or American? that Montreal! obtain a rebate which Derates as a bonus in favor of the Can-

via yort and against American ports Pi : one of the grounds upon which r nt ¢ 1.1 demands retaliatory iegisi a. It is not. in itself, a matter of very st importenece. Few outside the circles immediately concerned ever heard of it ; and the Government of-the Uniced States never raised the point until it was found that something had te be done to

‘dish the Republicans.” The claim of the United States is con-

sined in the twenty-seventh article of the

Treaty of Washington, which reads as fol-

iOws

“The Government of her Britannic Majesty engages to ‘ry on the Government of the Doin 1 of Canada to secure to the citizens

United States the use of the Welland, snals in the Dominion

terms of equality with the inhabitants of he Dominion, and the Government of the United States engages that the subjects of her Britannic Majesty shall enjoy the use of the St. Clair flats canal on terms of equality with

St. Lawrence and other

o>

the inhabitants of the United States, and fur- t] wage to nrye Upeo State Government to secure to the subjects of Her Britannic Majesty the use of the several state canals,

mnected with the navigation of the lakes or rivers traversed by or contigious to the bound- ary line between the possessions of the High Contracting Parties on terms of equality with the inhabitants of the United States.”

It is contended, on the part of the United States, that owing to the rebate paid to ves- sels going to Montreal, citizens of the United States do not secure the use of the Canadian canals on ** terms of equality with the inhabitants of the This vithout doubt, true; and if

true, the point should be yielded by our

Dominion.” contention is, \¥

Government at

It is, we believe, equally true that the

once.

Government of the United States has not the to secure to Canadians the use of ‘* the several ‘*‘on terms of equality with the the United States.’ But this fact is beside the point. Canada having acted upon the letter of the Treaty

constrained State Government State canals,

inhabitants of

of Washington, should carry it ovt in the spirit. If the Americans are to have the canals *‘ on terms of equality,” there should be no discrimination operating in favor of

Montreal.

Too Much Study. [he English Education Commissioners

have presented their final report after a

two years’ investigation. The part relating sujects of instruction is full of interest

et

wo Us Lb whele trend of their remarks

sin r of a comparatively small number of sulyjects being taught and of the greatest ‘amount of thoroughness being in-

iscod upon. llowing is the list of subjects given is looked upon «as essential to a surse of elementary educaticn:— 2 three BR's, needlework for girls, iraw for boys, singing, English (so as‘to give the children an adequate knowledge of their mother tongus), English history, (taught by means of reading books), geography, (cs-

pecially the geography of the British Empire), and ‘ lessons on common objects in the lower standards leading up to a knowledge of ele mentary science in the higher standards.’”

This is backed by the following very necessary caution, which cannot be too widely known or too generally acted upon everywhere :

“To teach a child to observe and think by proper training of the mind will more effec- tually develop its capacity and faculties than premature initiation into matters beyond its intellectual habits.”

On which the Toronto Globe remarks:—

** This is the very thing which is too gener- ally lost sight of, not only in elementary, but in advanced education as well. The brains of too many children, as well as of too many ad- vanced students, have frequently so many books and ‘‘ subjects of study” laid up- on them that they are scarcely able to move under the absurd and all but intolerable load. The teacher who most successtully leads his pupils to think for themselves, and to find pleasure as well as profit in the exercise of their intellectual faculties, is to be looked up- on as the really successful educationist, even though others may be more expert in the mere work of cramming, and better able to prepare for competitive examinations where puzzling and complicated questions abound.”

In Great Britain the State not only man- ages the telegraph service in connection with the post office, but it gives the public the advantage of a sixpenny meesage. No less than fifty-three million messages were sent over the British postal lines last year, an increase of fourteen millions over the last year the shilling rates were charged.

Public Opinion. :

4 CLERICAL VIEW,

Rey. Canon Dumoulin, of St. James’ Cathedral, Montreal, referred incidentally, in tbe course of his sermon last Sunday evening, to President Cleveland's message. He said:—** No words of mine would be strong enough to express the just contempt which every persea has for the man who lightly regards his word, be it on the eve of an election or for the purpose ef making himself president, or helping him in any way. This just judgment comes to us from, God himself, who is always faithful im promise-keeping. It is in this matter that human character breaks down, We some- times hear men speaking loud words promis- ing great vengeance, but when time and opportunity come those threats vanish into nothing. There is a vulgar name for this, and that is ‘ bluster.’ ”

wHat THE ‘‘TIMES’’ SAYS, The Times (London) referring to the speeches of Sir Hector Langevin and Sir John Thompson at Hagersville, says:

‘** These speeches bear favorable comparison with most of what has been said in high quarters on the other side of the frontier. Chey breathe the indomitable resolution of the Government to stand by the rights of Canada.” Alluding to their reference to the reciprocity movement, che Times says the argumentative passages of theirspeeches sre hardly capable of being answered ex- cept by what lawyers know asthe infernal ‘argament. But what people are whether the Dominion

shame }

i woking to see is Government intend to meet the double- edged weapon of the United States with

another of their own make, There is no definite statement of their intentions in this respect. The 7'imes admits the minist- ers’ claim for the National Policy having welded the Dominion into a united country with its radways, ports and steamship lines, and says: ‘** Canada may certainly reckon that reprisals affecting transportation in bond will arouse a great clamor among the large population dependent upon the pros- perity of certain American vailroads. Re- taliation will likely enough be wrecked upon some such rock as this without the Cana- dians lifting a hand against it. We ventur- | ed to predict the other day that President Cleveland's message would only serve to stiffen the backs of the Canadians and the speeches of the ministers show that we were not wide of the mark. These, the first public utterances of members of the Dominion Government, may cause the President to realize how wantonly he has! embittered the relations of the two great nations of North America for an indefinite time tu come.” SIR JOHN THOMPSON'S VIEWS.

At Alymer, a few days ago, Sir John Thompson made one of his characteristical- ly brilliant speeches, taking the same tone as that adopted .at Hagersville. He was loudly cheered, and as he defended Canada and maintained that independent of the United States there was a great future be- fore her, the applause was deafening. Patriotism, he said, had done a good deal for the scattered states of the American union, and history yould repeat itself in Canada. The strained feelings between the two countries could not last long be- cause the aggression was all on the other side, (cheers) and Canada was strong in that she was right. (Renewed cheering.) He would not be afraid to put the case of Canada before any tribunal foradjudication, for he was quite satisfied she would come out with an uptarnished reputation. (Cheers.) As a young Canadian, having every faith in the future destiny of the Dominion, he could say, irrespective of politics, that it was the plain duty of the Government of the country, be it Liberal or Conservative, to perfect every highway of communication by land and sea (cheers), and having this internal strength we can stand alone against the whole world, as re- gards our commercial relationship. (Re- newed cheering.) ‘Twenty years will prove that the best part of the continent is on the north side of the St. Lawrence, and that the people from whom we sprung are second to none on the face of the earth. (Cheers.) He spoke eloquently of our grand institutions, and believed with Sir Hector that they were not only more democratic, but that they worked with less friction than those of the United States. (Cheers.) “‘ We want to work out our own destiny and we will,” said the speaker, ‘‘if Canadians keep up the true national spirit they have so far evinced.” (Cheers.)

SIP. HECTOR SPEAKS AGAIN.

At Aylmer, Sir Hector Langevin said: — ‘*We should not be Liberals or Conserva- tives, but we should first be Canadians. We should be alive to our own interests and guard well the heritage that our ances- tors have given us. (Cheers.) We are not enemies of the United States, but friends, as we always had been, and were, therefore, perfectly at ease. (Cheers.) We had our rights to protect and would protect them. (Renewed cheering.) _ When, after the election, the cool heads of the Ameétican people reflected, they would see that a great mistake had been made, that we had been at peace for seventy years, and that Canadians are asking for nothing but treaty rights. (Cheers.) We had a large coun- try, we had extensive public works, and the present crisis demonstrated what ad- vantage they were tous. He then entered into a full kiscussion of the whole question, repeating the sentiments expressed at Hagarsville, and met with enthusiastic ap- plause at every stage. He was quite satis- fied that retaliation would hurt the people of the United States more than it would the Canadians, and asked our people to preserve a dignified silence, (Cheers.)”

A Disnongst SALvaTionist.—The schooner Welcome Home arrived here afew days ago with the mate in command, Capt. Capes hav- ing disappeared in Providence, R. I., together with the freight money—about $300. It was thought that he had met with foul play, but it is alleged that he has since been seen in New York. Capes hails from Quaco, but has been living here for some time. He is married to a Carleton girl, and belonged to the Sal- vation Army. This was his first trip as master. The Welcome Home belongs to Messrs. Baird, Reynard and others.—S¢. John Giobe.

* Old Songs.” Sing the old songs now te me, Soft and low as my mother's tone, I'm wafted back on the melody Like a wanderer going home,

Dimmed are the svenes; the lapse of years Veil-like o’er-spreads and part conceals;

Or, as the mist of gathering tears Blurring whate’er the sight reveals.

But I sit by her side once more, And dreamily list as she sings;

And know, as oft I knew before,

The calm a mother's music brings.

Sing as we sang long years ago, When hope, the staying power of youth, Thrilled through the music in its flow, And leve, and innocence and truth.

Sing as you sang one summer's day

The cherished song that spoke you mine, For all the changing earthly way,

And all the happy “ after-time.”

A mingling of the joys that fill, Flows forth in fuller melody, And floating o'er me sweeter still, Come mingied sweets of memory, ANON, Ch’town, Sept. 5, 1888.

General Sporting Notes. John Teemer and William O’Connor are to meet at Buffalo, N. Y., shortly.

At St. Louis, Mo., on the 4th inst., H. W. Johnson, the world’s champion sprin- ter, broke the record for five standing jumps without weights. The record was 54 teet 4} inches, and Johnson made 55 feet 2 inches.

According to a list published by the T'urf, Field and Farm, 41 additions to the 2.30 list have been made within a week, thus taking the total list for the season to date : Thirty-three horses previously in the 2.30 class have redueed their marks in the same time.

A well known Cleveland man, who has jast returned from a three months’ trip to England, says he does not believe that Mitchell will ever agree to fight Jack Dempsey. His right hand is broken mid- way between his wrist and knuckles,, and is not likely to ever stand the work of a fight.

Between 30,000 and 40,000 people went to Sheepshead Bay, near New York, on Monday, to see the great two-year-old event of the seasoa— the race for futurity stakes. Proctor Knott, a Kentucky colt, and winner of the junior champion, cap- tured the prize aad victory, about $50,000, to his owners, Scroggin & Bryant, who are estimated to have had $2,000,000 wagered on the race. Proctor Knott was the favor- ite at considerable odds. The distance was six furlongs. Time 1.15 1-5.

The cricket match between the Irish gen- tlemen anda fifteen from Hazsiilton dis- trict began at Hamilton, Ont., on Monday. The Irishmen were the first to go to the bat, and when their inning was over they had rolled up a score of 146. The Hamil- tons then took their turn, and by the time play was called for the day thy had inst one wicket and secured 26 runs. ~ The gaine was continued on Tuesday, when the Hamiltons made 175 and the Jrishmen in their sécond innings made 175, which closed the match.

Joe Lannon’s challenge to Jake Kilrain to meet him in a glove contest under Mar- quis of Queensberry rules fora purse of $2,000, does not seem. to meet with the approval of Kilrain, who, when seen a few evenings ago by a Boston Globe reporter, said: ‘*I cannot see what claim Lannun can have to ask for another meeting with me. When last we met he made buta poor showing, and from al! that | can learn he is but a trifle better now. I don’t want to meet every man in the country, and least of all for a purse, as I did not come home for that purpose. If Lannon wants 4 finish battle with the knuckles, for stakes, he can have it, but nothing else.”

Robert Browning has recovered his health and strength inthe remote Tyrolese village, where he buried himself from the world. He will reside in Venice, where he has purchased the famous Rezzonico palace, situated on the Grand canal.

President Cleveland’s recent message has attracted attention in France. French news- papers are busy explaining to their readers that Canada is a large body of water filled with valuable fish, and that the quarrel turns upon the ownership of Three-Mile-Limit, an island which lies near the mouth of the River Montreal.

Myr. Laurier, the Libera), and Sir John Thompson, a Conservative leader, have each spoken upon President Cleveland's retaliation message. The protuberant fact that strikes everyone who reads their respective addresses is that the leader of the Opposition did not kvow what he was talking about, while the Minister of Justice did.

The Rev. George Sutherland, formerly a well-known minister of this city, arrived last evening by the St. Lawrence, from Pictou. After an absence in Australia of over 2) years, he appears among us for a brief visit.
