McKEc;.gII-:, BANKERS BARRIE, om". ran: mew JUD(_3E.. Solicitor GeneraiCurran has been pro- moted to a position as Judge in the Que- bec Superior Court, which has long been vacant. Mr. Curran is an lrish Roman `Catholic, and his promotion has created a good deal of excitement in Montreal among the English speaking protestants, who petitioned the Premier in strong terms against such an appointment, declaring that an English protestant should have the place. The reply is A that Mr. Curran was promised a. place on the bench long ago, that precedent justifies the appointment and that the petitioners did not name anyone to ll , the place. ,. The high position of many of the petitioners, who hold that Sir i` McKenzie Bowell has snubbed them, and failed to recognize the rights of ..the minority, who own `a very V large part of the wealth and business of the metropolitan city, will most likely op- pose Conservative nominees in Montreal at the next "election. It is said if `it , fore not for Mr. `Laurier s free trade 1 i 1 1 policy `a large number of these Conserva- ` tives would transfer their allegiance to ` the Liberal leader. It is to be deeply ' regretted that the `question `of either ` race or religion should have to be con- ` sidered in judicial` appointments, but ' the way things are done for party pu__r- ` poses and through party exigencies 9 serves to render any `other course im- ` possible, until the people rise from party i to country, and as `citizens of a common ` country demand a new, order of things. ` That just now looks about as improb- 5 `able of accomplishment as A the coming of the Greek"Kalec.ds .

At the same time a eet . at the Dardanelles compelled the un- , speakable Turk to accede to terms with ._ regard to Armenia. In another part of , the world an ultimatum has been sent, _ and Venezuela, whose mongrel popula- , tion and government have for -months been insolently defying British power, under the idea. that the United States will interfere, will have to take the same course as China and Turkey or get a taste of something from British ' ironclads. Britain new demands that the boundary duiculty shall be settled, by force if necessarv. There is tall; by ' the jingo press of the United States ' that the Monroe doctrine is infringed by Britain in this case, though British ministers say the Monroe doctrine has nothing to do w'ith'it`.

Let the` law for the collection of store debts below $50 be abolished, [and the cash system, where it is most needed, would become en accomplished fact. T A` ' u so "" v_:7"""-B' Our prophecy has not been entirely = verified, but, the credit system as it 3 then existed is `at an` end.` Extended credit, sometimes for years, is not now known, no one giving, nor anyone ask- ing for it. .Some of our `merchants give no credit and keep no books, others say it is impossible to get along with-. out giving credit to some, ttough for a brief period. That of itself shows that the system isdyiug out, and will one of these days become extinct. -The abolition of the courts for the collection -of small debts would most effectually end it. The poor man s court ought to go. '.Then the few days accommodation which so many nd necessary at the town and country store would be given to those only who promptly settled the same on pay day; A little self-denial and an honest discharge of the weekly account would soon establish a practi- cal cash system, prevent losses to the seller and result in raising the unfor- tunate debtor to a. condition of comfort, and increase in him a spirit of manly ` independence l Some years ago THE Aunvaxan enter- ed the eld of prophecy by asserting that ten years from that date the credit system would be practically dead in the town of Barrie. The Toronto Mer- chant at that time` took issue with us on this matter, and seemed to indicate thatiit was neither practicable nor de- sirable to. do ` awav with the credit system. We are glad to see that our Toronto cotemporary has changed` its views, and now regafzds 'the'system as anything but an unrnixed blessing. n___ _._..._L___. L , .. A i 1-an cnnnrr srsnnr.
