THE DAILY EXAMINE . 1892 DECEMBER 20 A Question of Veracity -which had the re- Tue New York Press , ac putation of being Blaines ofgan when he was Secretary of Siate—contirms the state- ment of the Canadian Minister of Finance. It says: ‘ The reciprocity proposals of Canada have been squarely rej scted by thie | country.” It ought not to be presumed by the Patriot, or any other Canadian journal, that our Foster is wreng and the United States’ Fuster right. In respect to inter- national questions such as this, we should, independently of party, stand by our own men and maintain the ground they have taken unless there is strong evidence cer- roborative of{the contention of the others. It is pleasing to note that several of the Opposition newspapers have warmly espous- ed the cause of Canada and defended the course taken by the Government of Can- ada in respect to the differences existing between it and the neighboring Republic. In some of the questions at issue, the p: si tion occupied by the politicians of the States is, indeed, evidently, absurd. As to the question of reviproci y, the Govern- ment of Canada submitted certain proposi- tion fora renewal of the old reciprocity treaty, with changes to suit the changed conditions of the two countries, to the people of Canada. These propositions were by the pzop'e of Canada endorsed. The Government of Canada submitted these same propositions to the Government then of the United States; and by the Govern- ment of the United States they were re- jected. These facts are corroborative of the statement made by Hon. Mr. Foster and emphatically confirmed, as above, by the New York Press. Under these circum- is surprising to the Patriot is throwieg doubt upon our Mr. atanoes, it note that Foster's veracity, and upholding the con- tention of the other Mr. Foster. DOS Notes and Comments. —Mr. Lyons desires Tue Examiner to state that he will not be a candidate for the position of Water Commissioner. We have great pleasure in seconding the auggestion of our esteemed correspon- dent “Skater.” Hundreds of children, and children of a larger growth, will thank the Water Commiesioners for sufficiént water to put asmooth eurface upon Gov- ernment; and the cost wouldn’t be much. —To-day there vas another blockade at Prince Street Ferry. Hundreds of persons were compelled to wait shivering in the cold for hours. These delays are getting co be monotonous. Our lively Government might make some improvement on behalf of the constituents of Mr. Peters and the Hon. members for Belfast. — Late cable despatches indicate that the Turks continue to violate the rights of United States citizens on Turkish soil. The American missionary, Mr. Bartlett, who was recently indemnified by the Turkish Government for the burning of his house at Baurdaur by natives, has moved seventy miles north to Afion Kara Hassa—the centre of an Armenian colony. Here, again, he encounters persecu- tion, but with commendabie z +11 continues his work of founding a church aud ministering to the spiritual wants of the Christians, — The Toronto Globe has a commissioner out in Western Ontario gearching for evi- dences as to the drift of public opinion. Here is what he says one Liberal told him : The Liberal party wants a radical platform. Reduction ot the tariff is not enough, and there is no use coming to the pecple with the old policy of reciprocity. The peuple see that it is impracticable, except the United States make our tariff, and they wou'd as sooa have political union as that. | tried to talk it up in the by-election here, and it is like warmed- over hash. It is exploded. The advanced liberals are getting in 1892 to where the conservatives stood in 1887. After this it will not be right to say that the opposition cannot learn. — The Campbellton (N. B ) correspond- ent of the St. John Sun writes: **A merchant in town received a large con signment of poultry from Prince Edward Is- land for the Christmas trade, Is it not strange that our farmers do not pay more attention to oultry raising’ Not only poultry is sent nee P. E. Island, but I have seen schooner loads of oats, potatoes and all kinds of produce come into Newcastle and Chatham, and the merchants here send to Montreal for hay, and carload after carload is brought here every ear. The question arises, why is it? There is good land here, but do our farmers work it for all it is worth? Many will say there is no market here, but importing these articles shows that there is « market. Then there are butter and eggs. Tons of the former are im- ported here from Quebec and the west. There are no eggs in town. Surely our farmers must be neglecting the best paying part of the farm when such a state of things exists." the have ~ Chancellor Caprivi's sta‘'ement in Reichstag, a few days ago, could not been more explicit as to Germany's inten- tion to take po part in any plan tending to-ward bi-metallism. Germany, the Chancellor in substance said, is satisfied with her present monetary system and will not consent to any change. This seems to settle all doubt as to the outcome of the Brussels conference. France has already spoken through M. Tirard in a tone almost as explicit as Germany, and the British delegation is obviously controlled by the monometallist element. The conference, however, has undoubtedly exerted a wide spread educational influence and sown seed that may yet boar fruit in a satisfactory international adjastment of the silver question. —If it is true, as reported in the Moni- teur de Rome, that the Vatican unequivoc ally approves the views on the szhool question laid by Mgr. Satolli before the late conference of American Archbishops, a long stride has been taken toward the final settlement of the question «f parochial ver- sus common schvels. Mer. Satolli’s utter- ances, fairly inte-preted, mean that in future Catholic children will be allowed to attend public schools, that parochial schio s_ aie not necessary, though advisable, and ' R i that the Catholic hierarchy and clergy will *|be expected to throw down the barriers lly with them with a view to an amicable | arrangement of existing school differences i hitherto separating them from the public school authorities and to co-operate cordial- whenever such a proceeding is practicable. | —The Baptist Year Bouk, a neatly got- |teu up pamphlet of 200 pages, has been re- |cently laid upon our table. As a report of ithe denomination’s strength, of work undertaken and accomplished, it is very in- lteresting. From it we learn that in Nova | Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island there are 44,000 communicants in the 394 churches in these Provinces. These comprise 8 associations, uniting in one in- dependent convention, having as its presid- ent this year Rev. J. A. Gordon, M. A., of this city, and as its secretsry Rev. Prof. E. M. Keirstead, M. A., of Acadia College. Under the auspices of this convention much good work is carried on. They have foreign mission stations in 7 cities of Madras, India, among the Telugues, with 12 Provincialists in charge, 30 preachers and native assistants. Amount’ ccn- tributed by the churches the last con- vention year for this work was $20,000. The Home Mission Bo:rd has in its em- ploy 35 missionaries who cecupy 243 fields, During the year closed these have preached 5912 sermons, held 4595 other meetings, distributed 12,000 pages of tracts, made 16,000 religious visits, baptigad 724 believers, organized 4 churches and op3ned 3 new houses of worship. The churches through the Couvention Board subsidised the stipend of these missionaries to the amount of $8,000 During convention year $2,000 were paid towards Northwest missions, and $1,400 to aid Grand Lyn missions in Quebec. This convention shows also a splendid record in its support of higher education. Acadia college with its 10 professors and 120 students, Acadia semina:y with its 10 instructors and 101 young lady students, Horton Academy with its 7 instructors and _ its 73 students, St. Martins with its 12 instructors and its 149 students, a manuel training school with suit- able buildirg:, eppsratus and compet- ent instructors. Ail these institutions have excellent buildings, grounds, and consider- able endowment. Needy students are helped and infirm ministers are sided. A young people's union for the Provinces has been organized and is vigorously working. Mr. J. K. Ross, of this Island, is its Presi- dent. A Baptist book store is suceessfully managed in Halifax. The Messenger and Visitor, edited by Rev. S. McCully Black, M. A., and published in St. John, N. B, an eight page paper, having we understand, a circulation of about $,000, is the denom- inational organ. “ The Soudan War.” Tue unfavorable weather of last evening did not prevent a large audience from being in attendance at the lecture room of the First Methodist Church to hear Captain William A. Weeks lecture on *“‘The Soudan War.” The chai: was occupied by Colonel Irving. The lecture was exceedingly interesting and ius structive, and was given in excellent form. With the aid of a map the lecturer located the different places made memorable by the war in the Soudan, after which he proceeded to describe the country and the various battles that took place, closing with the story of the fall of Khartoum and the sad death of General Gordon, The lecture was well illustrated by means of stereopticon views, Mr. G. H. Hase zard managing the lantern. After some highly complimentary remarks were made by Colonel Irving, the audience sang ‘‘God Save the Queen” and dispersed. The next lecture wili be given by Rev. W. W. Brewer, on January 10. His subject will be the “The Philosopher Who Lived ina Tub.” _ - Resolution of Condolence. At a special meeting of Division No. 1, A. O. H., of this city, held on Dec., the 17th inst., the following preamble and res- olutions were unanimously adopted : Whereas, Having now assembled in obed- ience to the solemn call of death, it becomes fitting that we should dwell for a few mo- ments on the gloom and sorrow that has for the first time invaded our ranks, for the hand of death has forever stricken from our roll the respected name of our friend and brother, John Kelly,whe departed this life on tho 16th inst. ; and Whereas, The Division sadly deplores the loss of a brother who was {a favorite among all its members for unselfish and lofty motives, which were always predominant in his chai- acter, and for his strict adherence to the piin- ciples of his holy religion, which he ever loved and cherished and carried with him triumphantly to his eternal home beyond the grave; therefore be it Resolved, That while we call to mind and review the many noble qualities that so die- tinguished our deceased brother, yet it re- mains for us, as Christians, to bow in submis- sion to the decree of an all-wise Providence, who doeth all things well. Resolved, That this Division hereby er- dorses, in appreciative tones, the many noble acts of service rendered to it by our deceased brother, who was always prompt at his post of duty and ever ready at all times to pro- mote the interests of our Order. Resolved, That we teader to his grief stricken wife and family and brothers and other relatives our heartfelt sympathy in their trial and affliction, and trust that their days of anguish may be somewhat alleviated by the knowledge that while among us he led a truly Christian life and enjoyed the respect and confidence of his fellow citizens of every denomination, filling the important offices to which from time to time they elected him, with satisfaction to them and credit to him. self. Resolved, That these resolutions be inscrib ed on the minutes of this meeting as a lasting tribute to the memory of our beloved brother, published in the city papers, and a copy pre- sented to the bereaved family of the dezeased. Signed J. H. Reppin, M. P. Hogan, J. M. Suiiivay, Committee on Resolutions. |A Good Idea. Sir,—Would it not be a good idea for our citizens to ask the Water Commissioners to have tho pond flooded from one of the hydrants near there, in view of the Xmas holidays. Half an hour with the hydrant, connected with the city hose, would do the whole business, and the pleasure and bere- fit derived by young and old would be in- calculable. Please, Mr. Editor, urge on the Commissioners to do this. We have very few amusements, and if this were done and kept up for the winter, it might be the means of keeping many a young man from y siting saloons. ‘TELEGRAPHIC NEWS.

Toronto, Dec. 18.—As_ predicted, the conservative orangemen of Ontario are heartily supporting Sir John Thompson. At the annual banquet of Tor Bay Lodge, EF. Clark, M P. P., in replying to the toast of the Grand Lodge of British America, said it was now ability that counted in Canada. He believed the time had come when a man’s creed did not operate against him. Sir John M edonald and Sir John Abbott had been both with them, but it was not so with Sir John Thompson. He believed him to be a good man, however, and as long as his admin- istration was pure they could find no fault with him on account of his religion. Speaking of continental unions he said that as long as Orangemen existed in Canada, a party would be found to oppose every appearance of annexation to the United States, ———— - @ - Lost.—Monday afternoon, a red terrier bitch; has a round, red leather collar.
