_ Mail and Empire: Mr. Tarte’s declara- tion that the Government has spent much,

Montreal ‘Gazette : The story is that before Mr. M. C. Cameroon was laid @ grave there were applications in fof” place as Lieutenant-Governor of the N west Territories. The circumstances was not the first of its kind either. The office- seeking public man is not a sensative creature.

Hamilton Herald: The Eddy Company of Ottawa, has notified its employes that hereafter all those whos salries are sized for debt will be dismissed. This is one way ofabolishing the credit system. A man who knows that he is likely to lose his job ifhe runs in debt will be apt to pay cash and pay as he goes.

LOCAL NOTICES.

A pretty window.—The eastern window of W W Wellver’s jewellry store was the big attraction Saturday aight. At times the crowds of delighted onlookers prevent~ ed one from seeing the pretty display

within. Expressions of delight and ad - miration freely passed from one to another. The wiadow was very prettily

arranged indeed. Mr EN Harper, who dressed the window, has the knack of maxing an attractive display.

TO OUR COMING ORATORS.

—_—~

Sir,—A recent commentin the Guar dian suggests the questicn, “has the age of oratory passed.” Where is that fluency of speech, that captivating eloquence which a few years ago riveted the attention ot gallery gods in legislative halls, or held a« though entranced the audiences arourd pulpit and platform. Eloquence, primarily described asa quality to produce convic- tion, is in this age of greater diffusion of knowledge more abundant than ever, and yet inthe general acceptation of the term oratory is be.om ng ove of the lost arts. The speaker of a few years ago could com- mand the highest enthusiasm amongst his andience, but not always to produce con~ viction. Today the speaker brings his hearers to the point ef philosophical con- clusions, exhibiting tbe mastery of reasen over sentiment. The public evince a pre- ference for powerful reasoning over ap abstract fluency, yet cogent reasoning and logical argument clothed in brilliant lan~ guage end delivered with the refinement of the speaker art must produce both enthu- siasm and conviction. Who are the com~ ing orators of our city and province ? What means are they adopting to qualify them - selves for the important functions of preach ers, plead:rs and legislators? Apert from the question of classical oratory, the necessity for a more correct knowledge of the English language is very great. Even amongst the educated the frequent use of

phrases such as “i’ll learn you.” “I have’nt none,” “I didn’c do nothing,” “three weeks since,” and many similar ones, indicate too

careless a training in the use of our mother tongue. I would suggest amongst our studious and ambitious young men the formation of clubs, each clubto number not less than ten nor more than twenty members, having for their object mutual improvement in the art of speech. Our intelligent young men, thus associating themselves in a school where each must teach and all become critice, _ if diligent in their purpose, cau not fail to benefit both themselves and the community. My suggestion is not tora debating¢club but rather in the line of con- Versation, the study of the meaning of words in common use but which are only partialy understood, the suppression of ungrammatical and inelegant phrases the reading of occasional paseages from the fathers of English oraton, and by essay anid personal criticienis. In such «course there would be ample diversity and proper by conducted the meetings would be plen-~ teusly interesting,
