WAR VESSELS ON 'l.'HELAKES~

There is a good deal of comment in I

Ontario journals about the proposal to rescind the clause of the British- American treaty prohibiting the maintenance of armed vessels on the great Lakes. For some unexplained reason the Washington authorities want the treaty abrogated, and are apparently trying to turn to account the present good feeling between the two countries to secure British and Canadian consent to that action. A number of Canadian journals strong- ly oppose the proposal, and for ap- parently good reasons. The present arrangement under treaty is a. per- fectly fair one, restricting both part- ies alike, and appears also to be in tle interests of peace. The only pos- sible reason for the United States desiring to maintain a tleet of armed vcsecls on the Lakes would be to be ready to strike a swift blow at Can- I ada in case of war arising between the two countries. Neither party needs any greater force on the inland wat- ers t.hii.n such as are necessary for police or revenue purposes. Neither Canada nor the United States . can possibly be attacked on those waters except by each other. Our commis sinners at Washington will therefore do well to let the old treaty stand as it is in regard to warships on. the Lakes. Canada has nothing to gain either in apecuniary way or in safety by making a change and she might stand to lose heavily if a change were made.

Speaking at Sarnia a. few days ago,

Postmaster General Mulock intimated that a two cent letter rate f0r‘Canada. would be brought about within `a. rea- sonable time. It is imperative that `Ihie should be, as within two weeks we shall be able to send letters to South Af. ica at a two cent rate.

“Citizen” writes from New Glas-

gow, characterising in severe terms the notes from that place, signed °‘Rhadama.nthus,” which appeared in 8 recent issue of THE GUARDIAN. The point of objection is the lreilections cast by the last-named writer on the local debating society, which accord- ing to “Citizen,” were untrue and en- tirely uncalled for, The charge that gambling is carried on at the society’s meetings is tlatly denied. We withhold publication ot “Citizen’s” indignant letter for the present at least, and call upon “RI::a.da.ma.nthus" to furnish satisfactory evidence of the truth of his charge, or withdraw it.

The New Glasgow Enterprise,

which published a slanderous article headed “Boodler Blair” and was promptly to be prosecuted for that of- fence, has apologised. After- reciting the substance ofthe charge it had made, the Enterprise proceeds to say: “Of the falsity of this charge we have not the slightest doubt, and we had no grounds at the time of publi- cation for supposing our statements true. We have differed and may again ditfsr from Mr. Blair upon grounds of public policy, but we never had any reason for supposing that Mr. Blair was actuated by other than the best motives, or pi-fljudiged the public welfare to serve personal Gllds.” The apology lacks nothing in the way of thoroughness, but the of- fence was a very serious one. Mr. Bl-iir is probably as Clear of the charge of boodling as any man in Canadian public life.

ln thc fourtceniye:trs»lt8SQ-.98 there

are epidemics of cr.me and there are times when there is comparatively little crime of a serious character. In lSh‘5, the year of Riel`s rebellion, 19 persons were sentenced for murder and in 1889 there were but two. The average of fourteen years has been between seven _and eight yearly.

Montreal Witness has interviewed

some prominent shipping men who speak rather slight- ingly of the Paspcbiac line. Mr. Hugh Allan intimated that the com pany had only one steamer and that builtin 1873, and added that so far as he knew t-here is no railway run ning nearer than three miles to Pas

tel-view the announcement is made that the company has purchased two excellent steamers from the North German Lloyds Company, and that the hrst boat will load at New Car- lisle. lt is claimed that Paspebiac has an excellent harbor and that the route thence to Liverpool is 594 miles shorter t-has f-om New York, and 474 miles short-‘r than from Portland

to I.iverpor~‘. That is by the winter route south of Newfoundland. The

Sunday Concert.

SIR,-I understand that several

clergymen last Sunday night, took oc- casion to give their opinion concerning what they were pleased to call Sabbath desecration, doubtlessly referring -to the Sacred Concert held in the Opera House.

Now, I wish to say that. being pre-

sent at that concert, there was nothing whatever which could be construed bv the most critical, as Sabbath desecra- tion.

Allthe singers behaved most deco-

rously, nothing in their dress or be- haviour laving the least ap- pearance of disrespect to God or his day.

As tothe place itself, it has been

hallowed by the presence of Mr. Campbell and his people, who. for many Sundays were glad to hold wor- ship in it.

God can be publicly worshipped as

respectfully in au Opera House as in a church-and ministers would do well to not censure what they know nothing about, as none were present list Sunday night.

ONE Wno Was PRESENT.

Many of the North American In ians

were magnihcent specimens of ph sical manhood. This was due, largely, to their active out-door life. Nevertheless, they had the wisdom to know that an active life in the open air alone, would not keep a man healthy. They had their medicine- men, who gathered herbs from field and forest and brewed decoctions to assist the natural processes of the various vital organs. _

Modern civilized men do not as a usual

thing recognize the same necessity until it is too late. They ignore medicine until they are within thc grasp of some serious or fatal disease. The time for a man to be- gin taking nkdicine is when he begins to feet out of sorts. If a man is thoroughly yvell and healthy he does not feel that way. f he does feel that way he may be _pretty spre that hc is half sick. Vvhen he is half

p sick it docs ‘not take long before he is

_ whcle~siclc." Dr. Pierce-’s Golden Med- ical Discovery is the best medicine for a man when he is sick or getting sick. lt puts hint all right all round. It puts his stomach right to begin with, and that is the most important point. It puts his liver right. and that is the second most import-

It makes the appetite keen and hearty. It is the ZT€‘Ht<'1-‘L blood-mziker :md Iiesh-builder. It cures QS per cent. of all cases of consump- tion, 'wczik lungs. spitting of blood, obsti- izfite cc~u,1l1si-and kindred ailments. Thou- .-nmds who were given up to die have testi- fi»_><l to their recovery under this marvelous medicine. An honest dealer will not urge a siibstittite for the sake of a little extra. profit. He giws you what you ask for.
