From a telegram received by Hon. Senator Ferguson on Saturday evening it is learned that the great Liberal-Conserva

tive chieftain, Sir Charles Tupper, will in addition to the Charlottetown meeting on the 4‘h of September address a meeting in Summerside on the evening of the fol- lowing day. It is expected that the Leader will be accompanied by. his distinguished lieutenants, Messrs Foster and Hugh Jobn McDonald: It is also expected that the Liberal-Conservative Convention for Bast

Prince will meet the same day.

THE DUTY ON CORN,

aa,

Quantitixgs of the oats of last year nave lately been brought to market and cold at 28 cents per bushel, . While it is pleasing to note that many farmers have oats to sell at this season of the year—after having fed horeee and cattle all winter—it is much to be regretted that the price is so low;—and the cause is worth while en- quiring into.

As one of their few concessions to Free Trade, the Laurier-Tarte Government took the duty offcorn. ‘The consequence was that upwards of seven millions of bushels of corn were imported into Canada from the United States, the year before las; aod a considerably, greater quantity last year.

Every bushel of. thie corn took tbe place of a bushel ofoate in the Canadian market, and so our farmers were left with their oats on their hands, or were com. peiled to accept the low price warranted by the demands of .a foreign market three or four thousand miles away.

If our oats had had access to the United States market in Boston and New York the case might not, perbaps, have been so bad; for we might thes, possibly, have sent some Oats there to supply their local wants. But the United States maintained aprobibitive duty upon Canadian oats while Canada Jet®United States corn in free !

This is ihe ebief reagun why the thrifty farmers of New Glasgow and Beacque and other settlements are hauling their oats to

Charlottetown and Summerside in the month cf August and selling it at 28 cents per bustel.

Fortunately the far-eeeing and progres- sive men of Sir John McDovald’s admin- istration established the dairy business in this country before Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Tarte came in. Our farmers have now arrofitable source of money needed to meet their bills apart from the grain they raised. But for this they would be in @ bad way.

ONE POLICY FOR ALL,

Sin Cuaries Tupper’s latest remarks on the subject of the sending of the troops to South Africa are in keeping with his con- duct from the first, remarks the Montreal Gazette. He was among the first of the public men in Canada to cffer his support to the government if it would put this country in line with the Australasian colonies. He not only spoke from the platform in Nova Scotia in favor of the action that was taken, but he telegraphed }

THE DAIL‘

gent would detail. Should the govern- ment be attacked anywhere for its action in the matter it would be his duty to de- clare his sentiments, and be has done so in a manner that will win him credit wher- ever people respect principle and those who act upon it. Neither is the present the only occasion on which Sir Charles Tupper bas spoken in antagonism to the persumed ideas of certain sections of the country, when he thought the public in- terest required it. He is, as the Gazette

points out, an opponentof the ideas of the legislative imperialists who et to establish a parliament or council

at London to direct the general affaire | of all eections of the empire. He! does not see how a workable plas,

that would be tair to wll partiee, could be

devised. He went to Quebec and declared

his views, which are shared by many in

this province. Then he went ,to Toronto where the federation ideais presumed to be strong, and epoke just as he had done in Quetec. He confounded some of his enemies, who had been condemning his utterances in Quebec ae intended only for Frenchespeaking electors. They had tried to measure him with too narrow a guage. The incidents are instructive, says the Gazette. They show the strength as well asthe breadth of the man, If all politicians had bis sense and courage, the

petty religious and race cries that are raised by ,second-rate self-seekers would soon dropout of sight with those who

profit by them.

KINDERGARTEN METHODS..

—_—

Dear Sin,—At the N. B. Provincial Institute of Teachers which met at Monc~ ton in June much interest was aroused with regard tothe Kindergarten and the kindergarten methods in primary echools, and it was decided to ask the Educationa) Review for space forthe discussion of kindergarten principles and methods. The Review gladly consented, and Mies Wat- ken, who has been appointed Director of the Charlottetown Kindergarten,bas taken the initiativeand has written a bright practical article in the August Review, which should be read with interest noi only by primary teachers and kindeigor, teners but by country teachers who have little ones coming to school for tke first time—little ones who have been used to the beautiful outside world of your lovely Ieland, and who are now being confined within the four walis of the echoolroom.

Thanking you for space,

M. A. Hamitton, Director Dartmouth Kindergarten.

MATYHIAS SMITH ADDRESSED’ |

Previous to Leaving Bradalbane For St. Dunstan's.

On Wednesday evening, Court Strath- cona gave a royal send off to Matthias Smith who has been appointed to a posi- tion on the teaching staff of St. Dunstan's College. The regular business of the Court waszconcluded and the evening was spent in honor of Mr. Smith, who has been a valued teacher at Bradalbane. After the presenting of the address,speech- es, songs, etc, were given, A sumptuous supper was served, at the conclusion of which the Brethren joined in singing, “For He’s a Jolly Good Fellow,” ete. The following address was presented to which Mr. Smith made the appended reply.

BRADALBANE, Aug, 22nd, 1900,

To MatrHiAs SmitH,— We the under- signed on behalf of the members of Court Strathcona, No 3730, L O. F. having learned thatyou have decided to become a resident of Charlottetown in the near future and thus become separated from us | as an active member of this Court. We therefore desire to express our opinion of the great loss Our branch ofthe I. O. F, Society will thereby sustain.

We have realized from the institution of our Court up to the present moment the very deep interestyou have manifest ed inthe good and welfare of our Noble Order and especially of Court Strathcona. Your conduct in and out of office has been that ofa gentleman and a fine brother Forester. And, Sir, rest assured that we look with pride at the fact, that your abil- ity asa teacher has been fully proved and recognized throughout the length and breadth of our fair Province and im common with your many friends we re- joice that you have been so fortunate in securing astill higher position, that of teacher in one of our best institution, viz: St. Dunstan’s College. We feel that our loss will be their“gain, intellectually, socially and otherwise. In bidding you farewell our earnest wishes are that health, wealth and prosperity will be your lot.

{D. A. McKay, Chief Ranger.

NEIL CAMPBELL, Rec. Sec’y.

CHIEF RANGER AND BRETHREN. ,

I am at a loss to find words to give ade- quate expression to the deep gratitude I feel towards you for the sentiments of good willand earnest wishes fora bright future which you have set forth in the complimentary address just presented to me. My gratitude is the more deeply rooted since I realize the fact that I am not deserving of such honor atyour hands. It is true that lama charter member of Court Strathcona, a fact of which I am doubly proud on account of the honored name it bears, but I regret that being often prevented from attending the regular meeting, the trifling assistance which I could otherwise have rendered, has been materially lessened.I can assure you, how- ever, that I have always felt happy in pro- moting anything for the good of the Order and of Court Strathcona in particular. My social relations with the brethren during my intercourse with them have been of the pleasantest kind, and are the outcome cof that spirit of True Forestry which should prevail throughout the Order.

It is something to be very grateful for «nj which'I can look back toas time rolls on, that Iam leaving this community,

bearing the good wishes of the brethren of this Court. No matter where my course may be directed in that future which is so dark and uncertain to all of us, I wil long cherish the pleasant memcries of my associations amongst you. In thanking you, dear brethren, for your kindness to me, it is my earnest wish that true Forestry may continue to flourish where - ever it has taken root, and nowhere more abundantly than in our own Court Strathcona.
