THE DAILY EXAMINER.

AUGUST 26, 1890.

Notes and Comments.

—We clip from The Week a letter setting forth the views of that journal and showing the drift of opinionin Ontario concerning higher education at the public expense. The Week does not represent the views of Tue Examiner. While a department of education is kept up, in order that the youth of the country may be prepared to take an intelligent part in the government of the country, the higher education might as well as not, inour opinion be afforded in the public schools, for those who desire itand the scholars be required to pay fees for their tuition in the higher branches.

—A Canadian admirer of the Mckinley bill argues that the brewers of the United States are not now so much dependent upon our berley, because they ‘‘ now use all sorts of substitutes.” Allusion is also made to the greater production of barley by the farmers of the North-western States. In the face of these admissions, what, asks the Empire, becomes of the Wimanite organs false pretence that reciprocity would give an enormous advantage to our barley-grow- ers? The United States demand for our barley is declining, and no tariff srrange- ment could greatly increase its use. Any little advantage would be more than coun- teracted by the competition of other farm products from the States, where they are cheaper than in Canada, and by the injury to our farmers’ home market by the ruin of our operatives.

Tl wited \ RiLeu

~The Toronto Globe is, to use US own words, *‘ in a state of sane and sober calm, as may be judged by the following which we clip from the leading article of the issue received to-day :—

‘‘ Upon the whole the politicians of Canada are fairly representative of the best virtue, the best brain and the best intelligence of the

eople. How few are iu politics for revenue.

low few are tainted with scandal. How many submit to actual sacrifice in order to the gratification of an honorable ambition and in serving cleanly and honorably the public iuterest. Take the men of any Canadian com- munity who have won preferment in politics, and the chances are that in respectability, enterprise and sound moral influence they out- rank the great majority of their fellows. The local political caucus is nota ring of scoun drels. Men of evil life and base ambition are not pushed to the front. Even the ringstere and the heelers look for clean-handed men to represent their cause before the people. Hence it comes that most of our politicians are clean- handed and give honest service to the people who send them to Parliament. We do an injury to the moral tone of the community when we drag politicians to the level of mere mercenaries and dividers of public plunder ; we wound and discourage good and true men ; we drive sensitive and honest men out of the field. Pursuit of an honest man is as vicious and as hurtful as defence of a corruptionist.”

That the Globe may continue in the state of ** sane and sober calm” is devoutly to be wished

Personal.

The Baptist Convention.

Yarmourn, August 23,—The Baptist convention organized with Dr. Goodspeed president. About 350 delegates are pre- sent. The retiring president being absent, vice-president J. A. Gordon delivered a practical retiring address,—subject, “Let all things be done unto edification.” he obituary report recorded the death of nine ordained ministers during the year. The report, which was read by the Rev. J. H. Saunders, set forth briefly and tenderly the characters and worth of these departed ministers. President Goodspeed submitted the report on the state of the denomination, showing that seven new ministers had been ordained during the year, three new churches organized, and two new churches dedicated, The supply of ministers is not equal to the demand, and the demand is loss of eleven

increasing. ‘There was a lev ministers to the ective pastoral force during the year. ‘The outlook for the supply

of young ministers is promising. The year's additions to chureh membership 18 not large. ieneral benevolence increased over previous years. aoe

The twentieth annual foreign mission re- port was presented. No deaths among missionaries were reported here is a growing interest of the people in missions. There isa prospect of soon sending the number of men saked for by the mission- aries. No general home agent hasyet been

appointed, The totalexpenditur: was $16,- 184: receipts for foreign missions $15,053 Next year’s estimate of exp: nditure is $16,260. The report of the year book

publication showed the necessity for a bet- ter way of publishing, and a committee was appointed to report such way. Dr. Day presented thé financial statement for the year. The total receipts for all pur- poses are $22,000. Nova Scotia contribut-

ed $14,300, New Brunswick $,- 800, and Prince Edward Island $1,150. Sums raised were:—For home

missions, $7,000; foreign missions, $5,480; educational institutions, $5,800; ministerial aid and education, $1,150, and by the women's aid societies, $5,322. The ac- counts showed a balance due treasurer of $302.

At the annual meeting of the Women’s Baptist Missionary Union, the reports of the corresponding secretary, Mrs. March, of St. John, and the treasurer, Mrs. Smith, of Amherst, were presented. That of the former gave a brief sketch of twenty years’ work and showed that there are 150 societies in the three provinces, with a membership of four thousand. It appear- ed from the treasurer’s report that $5,- 488.74 had been raised this year, of which $4,700 had been paid over to foreign mission board. There is in her hands at present 2,546.32. The reports from three prov- inces showed that there had been a gratify- ing increase all along the line. It was de- cided to raise $5,000 during the coming year for foreign missions and $1,000 for home missions. Miss M. E. Davies, of Charlottetown, was elected Provincial Secretary for P. E. Island.

The Truro Convention.

The Railway Men’s Christian Conven- tion which opened in Truro, on Friday last, will long be remembered by those who were fortunate enough to be present. The wel- come meeting was held on Friday night, in the large hall of the Y. M.C. A. The chair was occupied by Evangelist Meikle, who, with a number of resident and visiting railway men and clergymen addressed the meeting. The business meeting was held Saturrday afternoon, and was called io order by the President,Mr.W.H. Dymond, of Halifax. After the transaction of all necessary business business and the con- sideration of plans for future work, the of- ficers were appointed for the present year. Mr. G. H. McKinlay, of the W. & A. Ry., Richmond, was chosen President, and Mr. J. B. Turner, of the I. C. R., Truro, was appointed Secretary. A vice-president for each of the several districts was also ap- pointed. The Sunday afternoon meeting was for men only, and was largely attended. The farewell meeting took place at the close of the church services. This was the crowning meeting of the convention, and was trowded to the doors. Quite a num- ber rose to their feet determined hence- forth to be on the Lord’s side. The meet- ing closed by singing ‘‘ God be with you till we meet again.” The delegates speak in the highest terms of the kind welcome extended to them by the railway men of Truro. The next Convention, it is expect. ed, will be held either at Charlottetown or Campbellton; due notice, however, wi'! be given.

Fair Play.

Sir,—-Although not in full sympathy with all the methods of the Salvation Ariny, I, certainly, think they should be protect ed.

Last evening, whilst engaged in their usual service on Market Square, ‘‘ Mc- Quade, the Irish doctor,” and vendor o! Shamrock (il, drove up, and in a boisterous manner began his sale, using at times pro- fane and indecorous langue.

The Army seemed deteruiined to con- clude their meeting iu a dignified way, but were, on account of the extraordinary lung power of McQuade, compelled to surrender The City Marshal, who was present, should have interfered, and not permitted such un- seemly proceedings to continue. Temporary visitors to our city should be at least courteous, and, while allowed to ply their business, should not infringe on the rights of others.

Drcency. Aug. 26. [The City Marshal would have made a mistake if he had interfered, unless there were a breach of the peace, and would pro- bably have made the confusion worse con- founded. }
