LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. |
Queen's Birthday.
Six,— If the dry goods merchants of tu- day who ordered their clerks back to work on Saturday evening after subscribing their names to the list which appeared in THE ExaMINER on May 14th would calmly look
jat the matter it would stimulate them to
take wider and loftier views of their power. A holiday is considered by the statesman a right, and he has labored to a great extent to make it compulsory, The toiler at the desk and anvil is to be freed from the office or workshop, and we all profess a grateful thankfulness for the boon. To how many does it not result in sad disappointment, It was with painful feeling I listened to one of our merchants saying :
‘**T will not again consent to a holiday. Why this sudden step, Mr, ————?”
‘*Bec.use my brother merchants are mean and tricky, They subscribe their names to a list to celebrate the Queen’s Birthday by closing their stores on Mon- day, the 26th inst., but after it became generally kuown that the trip to New Glas- gow would tuke place on Saturday, they reconsider their resolution of May 14th and agree to close on Saturday ihe 24th. They change their minds again on Friday evening, the 23rd, and order their clerks back to work at six o'clock, and so steal my customers.”
Now, Mr. Editor, there must be some dishonesty in this. Let your readers turn up THe Examiner dated 14th and 17th, and see who the mean men are. Those who had any shopping to do, and did do it, will know who theyare. Mr. Editor, the season of bright sunshine is approaching; mother nature invites us to embrace her charms; we find our rural friends com- mending the scenery of their districts to the people who may have a day or two to spend. One says, ‘‘Here we have an Island with pretty fields and streams—an Island that strangers call the Gem of the Sea.” He says, too, that the geologist and the botan- ist have great scope. Now, these are the true, legitimate objects of the man and wo- man who have a day to spate. But what about the poor clerk? What can he do when his master objects to a holiday or two a season? Let every reader of THE EXAMINER look at it without prejudice. Is itconsistent that from two to three hundred clerks are to suffer because one, two or three business men chose to order their clerks back to work on the evening of a general holiday, when all other merchants have the courage to close their places of business. ,There is nothing more despicable than one business man taking a mean ad- vantage over another. How does his ac- count stand? On the debtor’s side is found the confidence of the country and clerks— which would have supported him for life —gone; on the creditor’s side is founda temporary advantage gained, and the bal- ance is largely against him. Do not kill ‘your clerks—give them one full holiday. | The man who killed his goose to get at the golden eggs has not been handed down to us as a very wise man. And Solomon says, **He that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shali he a fool.” Policy, right, reason and revelation all harmonize.

Miss Willard’s Letter to Women’s Socicties.
Dear Sisters, FRreENDS aND COMRADES. ~—In the work for God and for humanity, the World’s W.C. T. U. has auxilaries now in every nation where Engiish is spoken, and is sending out its organizers to every land; so far as I know, it 1s the only ‘association broad enoagh to take in all ;women who are banded together for any good work, and isa channel of communi- cation well worthy to be sought by those | wh») answer this description.
The women's National W. C. T. U. numbers ten thousand local auxilaries and counts among its adherents, including men who are honorary members and children in the Loyal Temperance Legion, a half of a million of persons.
The World’s W. C. T. U. was originated by this society, which, as the chief auxilary pays most of the money thus far received into its treasury.
Mra. Hannah Whithall Smith, one of the earliest and most helpful members of the | Week's W.C. T. U., is organizer for Great
Britain; indeed is our organizer at large in whatever country she may visit, and is ‘hereby duly appointed to secure the affilia- tion of such societies as she may deem it best to invite into this sisterly comrade- ship of philanthrophic work.

The Spectre of Socialism
DEFINED BY LORD SALISBURY IN THE HOUSE i OF LORDS,
In the House of Lords, on the 20th, the ! Earl of Wemyss and March (Libera!-Con- | Servative) denounced the tendency of the ‘government toward socialist legislation. Parliament, he declared, seemed ready to do anything in the shape of grandmctherly legislation, and to meddle with affairs that ought to be left to private initiative, like workmen’s houses, the payment of wages, and the feeding and education of the poor. The London county council, he said, was especially inclined to predatory objects, and fostered projects to abolish leaseholds an¢ deprive landiords of their ground rents. They even proposed to take by compulsion, without compensation, property belonging to city guilds, in order to apply it to what they called industrial schemes. Serious legislative bodies ought to look where socialism was leading. It was not land alone but every kind of property that was threatened. Freedom of contract and free- dom of private enterprise were assailed. State help was substituted for self help, thus destroying tle fibre of the nation.
Lord Salisbury, the prime minister, ad- mitted the existence of a strong tendency to lean upon the state on every occasion. Against this, he said statesmen must guard. [f they imposed upon the state burdens be- yond its power to bear, they would create an indefinite source of expense, and would ultimately produce unlimited corruption. Socialism might be detined as the state do- ing something that might be done by pri- vate persons for tite sake for gain. Some- times this was a very unwise thing to do, and at other times a wise thing. There was nothing so socialistic asthe mint and post-office; yet, at the same time, there was nothing more justifiable. It was not prac- tical politics to classify legislative proposals as socialistic or otherwise. Every subject ought to be treated on its own merits. Too much importance, Lord Salisbury declared, was attached to the spectre of socialism. The public could be trusted to find out what practical good lies behind the socialistic doctrine. Nobody not absolutely blind could deny the ex- istence of great evils from which arose the socialistic proposals and actions. Industrial and other causes produced great centres of misery. We are bound to do all we can to remedy these evils, even if we get called socialists, knowing we are undertaking no new principle, or striking out on no new route, but are simply pursuing the long and healthy tradition of English legislation. Lord Salisbury’s remarks were received with cheers.

Gladstone Dencunced.
HIS COMPARISON OF IRISH AND SIBERIAN OUT- RAGES IS NOT RELISHED.
Several of the Liberal papers condemn Mr. Gladstone’s comparison of the atroci- ties perpetrated by Russitn officials upon exiles in Siberia with the Mitchellstown, Ireland, affair.
The Pail Mali Gazette says that England isa land of constitutional liberty where, happily, the unjust shedding of the biood of a single citizen is enough to damn the Government. Mr. Gladstone's reference to Mirchellatown, the Gazette says, has no weight with men like Stepnink, the noted Russian agitator, who is unable to see what more we want in free England than we have already got.
TheStandard says it cannot find language to adequately express its disgust at the par- allel drawn by Mr. Gladstone. What can be thought, it asks, of a man who is trying to persuade his countrymen that a confused street riot can be classed with the deliber- ate flogging of naked women and kindred barbarities. It shocks one’s morai sense to find that a party leader has reached a stage of rancor where truth, decency and self- respect are obliterated.
The St. James Gazette says that in mak- ing auch a comparison Mr. Gladstone show- ed himself an unstripped and battered ad- venturer, sticking at nothing.

A Greatly Reduced Power.
Dahomey, with which France has been at war for some months past, was once the most powerful of the West Coast states of Africa, but has been greatly reduced in power by constant conflicts with its neigh- bors. It comprises an area of about 15,000 scuare miles, with a population estimated at 200,000. According to the delimitation agreed upon between the British and French West African, possessions, Dahomey is within the sphere of France, and the probability is that France will annex it as the issue of the present contest. The king has no limit in hissway. He keeps a body- guard of 4,000 amazonus, who are wondrous- ly trained tor warfare and noted for their ccurage and discipline. The natives are of
ure negro stock and fetish worshippers.
hey have been known as Dahsme, Dauma or Dahomey since the organization of the monarchy in the 17th century. They are said to be industrious. Their pali oil is the finest produced in Upper Guinea, and maize, cattle, ivory and india rubber are among their natural wealth and exports. The capital, Abomey, is 70 miles west of Whydah and 10 miles from Kalmina, the king 3 summer residence.
