Pure clergymea and honest clergymen must, in their own interests and in the interests of Christiani'y, take measures to

rid their sacred calling of scoundrels. The highest and best of all _professions ought not to be diegraced and degraded.

It seems to be necessary (1) that greater care be taken in the selection of men for the ministry, in respect to moral and social character as well as learning and fit- neas for the work; (2) chat offenders who are discovered be plsced under discipline and severely dealt with by the bishops of the churches and the governing bodies of the denominations; (3) and that sufficient wholesome employment be given clergy- men to fdivert their thoughts and to keep them out of mischief. Discipline in al! the churches is too much relaxed, The moral and‘religious standing of the clergy must be kept high or the laity will most assuredly

cease to regard clergymen as moral and

spiritual leaders and teachers. That the majority of clergymen are really worthy the contidence and respect of their we are ready

Diocesan Church Society.

ANNUAL MEETING

Tue annual meeting of the Diocesan Church Society was held in St. Paul's Schoolroom last evening. There was a fair attendance of clergy and laity. Mr. Justice Hensely occupied the chair.

The general report, which was read by Mr. P. Pops, sets forth that there has been no change in the ministerial ranks, but expresses regret that the Rev. C L Lowe has resigned the charge of St. Elea- nor’s and Summerside and _ intends

, leave the Province after Easter, Milton parish has again united with the Society snd handed in a generous contribution.

The short special reports of the clergy are From most of the parishes there are statements showing en- la-ged congregations and improved con- ditions.

After the passage cf the formal resolu- tions, s discussion concerning the relation of the pulpit to the pews was opened by Judge Fitzgerald. He referred to the changed conditions incident to the spread of learning and the freedom of enquiry and discussion, and argued that the duty of the clergy lay not so mach in the pulpit as un working hand in hand with his people, thus showing forth the value of religious principles and manly sympathy ip the affairs of every day life. The mivister should have the loyal support of his people and his people are entitled to al- most his whole service in the cause of the Master of both. The people, too, had a right to expect from the clergy union among themselves. Personal bickerings and minor ‘differences should not be per- mitted to interfere with their work. They should also unite to remove biots upon the fair fame of the Church, such as are seen at the eastern part of the Province, in which there is no resident clergyman.

Rev. T. B. Reagh, Rev. Mr. Hamlyn, Charles Palmer, Esq., and Rev. Mr. Simpson followed ia short addresses, gen- erally expresive of agreement with and ap- preciation of (Judge Fitzgerald's remarks At the close a unanimous vote of thanks was givea Mr. Fitzgerald.

Clerical; Association.

The quarterly meeting of the P. E. Island Clerical Association was held in this city yesterday. The proceedings began with a celebration of the Holy Communion in the chapel of St. Peter's Cathedral at 7.45 a. m At 10a. m. the clergy of <his Island, with the exception of Rev. Thomas Lloyd, who we regret to say is unwell, and Rev. A. A. Daniel, who was prevented by important business, met at the house of the Rev. James Simpson for a business session. The president, Rev. James Forbes, took the Chair, The minutes of the last meeting were read and adopted, and some ucfinished business was conciuded. The election of officers then took place, with the following result : President, Rev. James Simpson ; Secretary, Rev. F. C. L we. Rev. W. Hamlyn brought the needs of the P. E. I. Hospital before the meeting, and suggested that each clergyman should have an annual collection for this object. The proposed division of the diocese uf Nova Scotia was discussed at some length, and several other matters of local interest were gone into. It was decided that the next meeting should be held at Georgetown on June 6th at 1 p. m. The members of the Association were entertained at dinner by Rev. James Simp- son, and aftera social chat disbanded, to meet again at 6p. m. at Riverside, where Mrs. L. H. Davies had a high tea prepared for them. Shortly before 8 p. m., all left for the D.C. S meeting in St. Paul’s Schoolroom.

The Barnard Syndicate.

Tue Argosy, published at Georgetown, Demerara, in the course of an able review of the year 1892, makes the following re- ference to the gold industry :

‘«« In connection with this (the gold) indus- try we have to observe that this year’s output and export have been the largest on record.

: Messrs. Jacobs, Carreiro and Rosa have once more been the most successful gold- finders, their return from the Omaia aggregat- ing close upon 8,800 ounces for the year,which ig very nearly the same ratio as in 1891. The Barnard Syndicate comes next with a record of over 7,300 ounces for the year, produced from their placerson the Mazaruni. This is almost the only limited liability company en- gaged ia the search for gold, and so phenome enal has been its success that the shares, which cost about twelve dollars oviginally, have all through the year commanded ia the local market a pricé Varying from about thirty to forty-eight dollars.”

Alexander Bannerman Barnard, of this provinee, is the principal of the Barnard Syndicate referred to in the above extract —the second largest concern goid-mining in British Guiana From all accounts Mr. Barnard has a fortune there. He is the second youngest brother of Captain W. H. Barnard. He left the Is!and when quite a young lad, residing for many years in Cali- fornia. Upon hearing of gold in British Guiara,he was one of the first to go out there and prospect for it, with what suc- cess may be seen from the article quoted above. Tue Examiner wishes the Barnard Syndicate continued success,

DOMINION PARLIAMENT

Debate on the Corn Duties.

Mr, Laurier Criticized by the Finance Minister,

Orrawa, Feb. 9.

After routine yesterday in the House of Commons, Mr. Pope, of Compton, moved a resolution that it is expedient to place corn on the free list, and as the debate thereon lasted till six o’elcck the subject goes down to the bottom of the mot'on paper, and will not be heard of again till the tariff changes come before the House.

Hon. Mr. Foster expressed satisfaction at the information brought out by the debate ; but in view of the fact that the government would soon announce its tariff measures, he asked the House to suspend judgment till then. Replying in general terms to the tariff criticisms from the Oppo- sition Party and press, the Finance Minis- ter assured the House that the government was a8 anxious as it could be to conserve the general interests of the country, and was not wedded to any other interest. He showed that while the Grit leader, in his Toronto speech. had asserted that the grit policy was the outcome of the circumstances and condit- ious of ‘the country, yet when he came down to details in this House the other day, he forgot a}l about the ** circumstances and conditions,” and announced that whether skies were fair or skies were dark, the Liberal party was indissolubly con- nected with Free Trade. The Liberal- Uonservative par'y looked at the condit- ions in 1878, and the grits did not, and the Government was prepired, now as then, ‘0 do what the growth and circumstances of the country required.

Among the notices of motion was one by Mr. Perry, for the number of empluyes and the names of clerks who were dismissed from the P. E. I. Railway with the cause thereof; also the names of the employes reinstated if any.

The Newfoundland Question.

Summary of the Proceedings of the Hatifax Confer- ence,

The Union Question Brought Up, But Nothing Done About It,

Orrawa, Feb. 9.

The Premier laid on the table of the House of Commons yesterday the report of the proceedings between the delegates from the governments of Canada and Newfound- land on the Labrador question. Mr. Har- vey repudiates the action of the officer at Labrador, who collected out on gcods in- tended for consumption in Canadian terri- tory. The bait question was introduced by Mr. Harvey.

—_—

Sir John Thompson reviewed the previous negotiations effecting the relations of Canada and the

United States. After pointing out that the Bond-Blaine convention would result in a discrimination against Canada, he sug- gested that the following principles be assented to :-—

That Canada as well as Newfoundland should have a right to take part in such or any negotiations which would affect the interests of both countries.

That no convention should be concluded of which both countries should not have the option to avail themselves.

separate arrangement such as the Bund- Blaine convention, wovld divide the hitherto united interests of the [ritish American dependencies.

The Newfoundland de'egates after ex- pressing regret et the failure of the Cana dians to withdraw their protest against the Blaine-Bond treaty, proposed thst if the Canadians would recommend to their colleagues the withdrawal cf th ir protet against the first of June, 1893, ‘f the Canadian and the Unied States negotiations were not then con- cluded, they would agree to the proposal submitted by the Canadian Minister,

The Canadian delegates declined to agree to recommend the withdrawal, and suggest- ed that the time for negotiations be extend- ed to the first of August next. After several proposals and rejoinders, no definite agree- ment was reached, each party agreeing tu submit the matter to their respective gov- ernments. At one stage of the discussion Hon. Mr. Bowell called the attention of the confer- erce to the greater question involved in the proposal that Newfoundland should become a Province o! Canada, and argued that the union would prove beneficial to all con- cerned, and would solve all the questions before the conference. Hon Mr. Whiteway said that the dele- gates from Newfoundland were not em- agrhagg to discuss the uuion question, but e was favorable to union. _He said the matter was one of terms. Hon. Mr. Harvey objected to the discus- sion of the union question before other matters regularly delegated to conference were disposed of. The union question would not, he said, be a practical one in Newfoundland for many years to come, and the delegates were here to deal with present issues.

A Guilty Minister Disgraced.

Sr, Joun, Feb. 9.

The Church Court of Inquiry into the case of the Rev. Sidney Welton is finished. The trial was with closed doors. It is giv- en out, however, that the majority of the Court deemed Mr. Welton not a fit person te preach the gospel, and passed a resolu- tion to the effect that the Main Street Bap- tist Church be asked to withhold fellowship from him as a christian minister.
