In thie connection, we cannot forget to thank the statesmen whose wisdom and f ght have. in the face of many difficul- ties, furnished Canada throughout with

it, we are not going to take fright, and we are not going to deny that it may ulti- mately be a good thing for Canada.”
It is curious to note the effect which the
President's message has produced vpon the
minds of the Republican Senators. These gentlemen are in no hurry to grant the legislation he has requested, though it is what they have been clamoring for. They
meet and sit and talk the matter over, and
evider feel that Cleveland has check- mated them. So they say he is incunsistent, as. indeed, he is.
But apart from the game of party, which is now so interesting, it is evident that the President's message has had the effect of forcing the people of the United States to regard the matter in another light and
from another point of view. They see now that retaliation means loss of trade to New York, Boston and Portland, trade to Halifax, St. John and Montreal and they are beginning to ask themselves ‘‘what are we going to gain by it.” Just where the “gain” will come in isa pro- blem too deep to be easily solved ; and it seems very doubtful whether they will be able to hurt Canada more than they will
and gain of
iurt themselves. As this prospect dawns
ce clearly upon the minds of the Ameri- si people, and it becomes apparent that huy are contemplating an act which may be “cutting off their noses to spite their faces,” itis probable that we shall hear-less about the threatened depri- v.iion of the privilege of bonding and transhipment.

Editorial Notes. — Merchants and tradesmen of Spring | Hill, N.S., have formed a combine with the view of adopting the cash system in their business. This is the right kind of a combine.” If our merchants would com- bine to sell low for cash only, they would do well.
His Eminence, Cardinal Manning, says: ‘*For thirty-five years I have veer priest and bishop in London ; and now I approach my 80th year. I have learned some lessons, and the first thing is this: The chief bar to the working of the Holy Spirit of God in the souls of men and women is intuxicating drink. I kuow no antagonist to that good spirit more direct, more subtle, more stealthly, more ubiquit- ous, than intoxicating drink, Though I have known men and women destroyed for all manner of reasons, yet I know of no cause that affects man, woman, child and home with such university and steady power as intoxicating drink.”
Master Workman Powderly does not
think that all things are just mgbt in the Great Republic, which is threatening to coerce Canada to back down or unite. In

A LARGE assembly of people were gather- ed in the Methodist Brick Church at six o'clock this morning, to witness the mar- riage of S C. Moore and Katie Knight.
fhe communion table and pulpit were pro- usely adorned with beautiful flowers, and verything was in perfect harmony with the joyous occasion.
Che bride was given away by her father, and the marriage was selemnized by the brother of the groom, Rev. D. D. Moore, M. A.
At the close of the service the organ pealed forth in joyful strains, and the usual quantity of rice was disposed of.
We wish the happy pair a life as bright as the morning, and as full of sweetness as the cake we have received. The bride was the recipient of many beautiful presents, amongst which was one from her Sunday-School class, accompanied by a loving address. actasmaennnyicininpemenaneiptsltasstpeniaibinencninoenitie Lyceum Tuesday night.

Strikes. ‘** Equity,” of Chicago, comments upon the latest serraon of T. DeWitt Talmage on the subject of strikes and says:—
,
‘*The principles he sets forth should be dinned into the ears of workiog men till they learn that strikes, su far from being a cure-all, are a dangerous method of righting wrongs. Che manual laborer does not know what he is doing when he exchanges the rule of an intel- ligent employer, who understands that his interests are the same as those of his employes. for the despotiam of a trade-union. Even if the laborer is not perfectly satisfied with his employer, believing him to be selfish and grinding, that laborer may profitably remem- ber the proverb, ‘‘It is better to trust the devil you know than the devil you don’t know.” Certain it is that the average mem- ber of a trade-union when he begins work, quits work, goes here or goes there, does not know why he moves or who is moving him. He merely knows that the powers that be in the union to which he belongs have ordered him to do something, and he does it. If a man wishes to surrender his will to that of an organization, there is no law, written or un- written, against it, but he exposes himself to the risk of being manipulated by unscrupulous demagogues who think of nothing but their own interests. Untold millions have been lost by the laboring classes through the machinations of such people. The employes who e prejudices or limitations of oppor unity prevent them from hearing both sides of the question are easily handled by such a schemer, and they deprive themselves of bread on'y to feed or agyrandize him. The one thing that laborers need is to think, to think for their own interests and those of their f:milies. But they must always bear in mind that fighting

SEVEN FEET AND HAS HIS NECK BROKEN— |
FOR AMATEUR CARPENTERS,
A sad and fatal accident occurred at Junetion: Road (near Elliotts’ mills) on Friday last. Mr. Ronald McLennan, a highly respectable and well-to-do farmer, was engaged in assisting his son too build a new barn, Ascending a ladder after dinner, at about one o’clock, he went out on to the roof and immediately fell through a hole a distance of twenty-seven feet, str.king the ground with his head, dislocating his neck dying instantly. Persons near by heard the heavy dull thud which followed the fall, and at once ran to his assistance, only to find that he had aiveady expired. So heavy was the fall thet a distinct hollow was left in the ground on which his head struck. Mr. McLennan was a man of ex- cellent character, independent in circum-

stances, and highly respected by his neighbors and others who knew him. His
remains were followed to the grave on Sat- urday last by a large concourse of people, assembled to show the:r sympathy and to pay the last solemn tribute to his memory, His remains were placed in Hartsville Cemetery.

The People Say
That marriage is no uneven game, it’s 4 tie.
That long sermons these sultry days are ‘clerical errors.
That when a woman busies herself. with hammer and nails it is very often difficult to tell what she is driving at.
That the grocer who chases the flies off the beams of his scales before he allows them to balance is the ideal honest man.
That Eve must have felt that she had |
lost one of the chief joys of fresh young love when she retlected that she could not ask Adam if she was the first woman he had ever cared for.
Thit the crowds who attend the different marrisges sv early in the mornings would lead «ne to suppose that many among them are looking for pointers.

Tue September number of Harper's Magazine contains aa interesting first paper on ** Our Journey to the Hebredes,” with clever illustrations from drawings and | photographs. It gives a sorry but well | pointed description of Scotch monopoly of the Moors for their rifles and their method of exodising the poor crofters, while a rich vein of huraor runs through the narrative. To those who have old earthenware on the brain, bric-a-brac propensities, or any ten- dency to the keramic craze, the accounts of Kioto. Kaga and Satsuma “finds” among the stowed-away collections of the Japanese | will be a revelation and a treat. A third ' paper on the subject of ** A mid-summer | trip to the West Indies” is thoroughly sup- ported by illustrations, as is ‘*‘The New Gallery of Tapestries at Florence,” and both are highly instructive. The rest of this excellent issue is quite up to the ac- customed standard of the publishers, Har- per & Brothers, New York City.

ern Association The other tive associations report more baptisms than did the six last year. There
has also been a subs antial gain in member- ship, especially in New Brunswick. The total gains by baptisms are probably a little over 2,000, the gain in membership about 500.
The number of churches pastorless, or temporarily supplied, is 121, which is larger than Jast year. Complaint is made that the church is making too little progress in beneticence.
Sunday school work is prospering. The number of scholars enrolled approximates 22,000.
Aug. 27.—After the usual devotional ex- ercises this afternoon, the annual report of the Dominion Board of home missions was presented by Rev. W. H. Cline, of Halifax. Rev. J. H. Best, superintendent of the Baptist home missions in Manitoba then gave an interesting address on work in Maniteba and made an earnest appeal in its behalf. In conclusion, he said many districts are calling for pastors, yet the vast field cannot at present be supplied. They did not ask for pastors, they wanted mis- sionary evangelists to visit places as often as possible. A collection for Manituba missions of $105 was taken at the close of the speech.
Rev. Mr. Goodspeed reported on the state of denomination, and pastors were instructed to present it to the congrega- tions.
The Baptist Book and Tract Society meeting held this afternoon reported an encouraging increase on former years, the sales amounting to over $10,000 for the year, being an increase of nearly $2,000 on last year. The company have nv iiabilities and the amount due the book room is small. The proposed new bymn book is nearing completion and will be in print in Novem- ber next.
