The Ottawa Citizen has been unduly exercised over the senate appoint ments. The Whig did say that Mr, Frost, of Smith's Falls, was mention ed as an eligible person for the seat which has heen vacated by senator Clemow's death. But not until the 'itizen raised the point was it appar ent that the nomination meant any mischief to Ottawa or its schemes. The capital is concerned about THe) Georgian Bay canal, and its press is anxious that the senate shall be in sympathy with it, and this can hardly he if he is not an Ottawa man. The Georgian Bay canal is an issue which cannot be decided by the vote of one man. Iv will involve an enormous expenditure--one estimate puts it at $100,000,000--and it cannot go through unless it is most gen- erally endorsed. The fact is the Kingston press has not given the senatorship, so far as the canal is concerned, a thought. Mr. Frost's nomination stands upon its merits. He is a ! good man, experienced in public life, and reprosenting interests in the com- mercial world, of the most important nature. As a business wan, keen and far seeing. he will, if appointed, con- sider very public question carefully, and 'that is all the country could ex pect of him. The Georgian Bay canal need not worry any one for the present. It is & contingency for twenty years hence, or longer, and there will be, in the natural order of events, a great po- litical johange in the meantime. RESTRICTING THE CHILDREN. Watertown wants a Curfew ordinance and a Curfew bell, to the end that the young people may be less upon the steocts. - Kingston bas the curfew hy- law and curfew bell, and what have they amounted to? Last night at ten o'clock little boys and girls were idling upon the streets and ought to have been at home. They were the sons and daughters of prople who were expected 16 know where they were and how they were employed. The fact that they were roving aimlessly at large, and expos- od to sérious temptations, was evi. dence enough that their parents were very derelict in the performance of their duty. After all what is the use of laws if they are not enforced. The curfew bell was meant to clear the streets of all minors upon them, without a cause after a given hour. Idlers are sub jet "to surveillance, and dealt with fas the: law directs. Indeed the curfew bylaw id calculated to arouse the parents and make them active moral | agents.

ORDINATION SERVICES At Morton, Followed by Induction Of Rev. J. A. McConnell. Morton, June 20.--A meeting of the Brockville presbytery was held here on Thursday . evening to- complete the arrangements for the ordination of the Rev, J. A. McConmell, B.A., of this year's graduating class in divin ity at Queen's college, and his induc tion to the charge of the Presbvieri- an congregations of this village and Lyndhurst. An hour later the ordina tion service began in the Presbyterian church, which was suitably decorated for the occasion. The service was most impressive. Rev, J. R. Friavell, Tole do, delivered the sermon of the even- ing, choosing as his text Matt. 23; 8 "One is your Master, even Christ, and all ye are brethren." Them followed the most interesting part of the ser vice, the orditation and induction proper, conducted by Rev. Dr. Sta- art, Prescott, moderator of the Pres ytery. Rev. A. C. Bryan, Westport, addressed Mr. McConnell on his min isterial duties and work, after which Rev. C. H. Daly, Lyn, addressed the congregation. The musical part of the service was in charge of the Morton and Lyndhnrst choirs. This mission field since ils organiz- ation has been supplied bv studonts from Queen's, Kingston. This system has not been altogether satisfactory. the supply during the winter monuhs being somewhat irregular, although during the summer season exce'lent service has always been rendered. During the last - wear, hovievar, . a movement was started on the part of the congregation to socure am owlnin ed minister and thanks to the energy and ability of Rev. Mr. Daly, who spent considerable time in the field last winter, the work progressed fav- orably and culminated in last night's service. It is well that the Preshyteri- ified to manage this growin: charee. and who is well able to preach the full gospel of Christ. A Plugged Ballot Did It, The Stratford.

CEPTION IN LIVERPOOL. ---- Crowds Out to See Decoratiomns-- Well Behaved and Orderly-- The Festivities Have Been Begun. London, June 23.--8Sir Wilfrid and lady Lauricr, accompanied hy lord Strathcona arrived at Euston station varly vesterday morning and at once drove to the Hotel Cecil. The Can- adian premier had a very enthusiastic reception in Liverpool, and the lord mayor of that city vainly requested him to remain there for a dav or two. So far Sir Wilirid Laurier has sue weded in resisting all efforts of inter- viewers and has decided not to make any statement on the subject of the colonial conference. fo far as London is concerned the eoronation festivities may be said. to have commenced. Taking advantage of the fine weather tremendous nine bers of people spent yesterday in see ing the decorations along the route of the royal procession, and last even- ing, the police authorities were oblig- ol to resort to the unusual, though not absolutely unprecedented, expedi- ent of diverting all vehicle tref- fe from several main thorough- fares. Nothing could better illustrate the intense interest taken by all class es of Londoners in the forthcoming welebrations, The crowd was on the whole well behaved and orderly, and there was nothing approaching a re petition of the disgraceful scenes which marked Mafeking and peace nights. ' Last week's enforced rest has proved very beneficial to the king. He is much improved and it is practically wertain that he will travel up to Lon- don from Windsor to-day.

'These numerous inven- tions are unfounded and merely in- sate the high degree of tension on the part of the people of fashion who are. occupied with the approaching functions. The police officials have intensified the public nervousness by the exceptional precautions taken for controlling the crowds by barricades. Arrangements for the great naval review next Saturday are nearly com- pleted. British ships have been drop- ping 'into line one by one during the 'ast few days, and when admiral Noel reaches Spithead to-day, with the home squadron king Edward's mighty fleet will be complete and the senior officer in the roadstead will be ready to return the salutes of foreign men-of- war, all of which should be in position hy to-morrow' night.

Chartrand, ' Kingston. In 1889, while in the French ary, I published in La Patrie, of Montreal, and elsewhere in Framoe, the iollow- ing article, which may be still interest- ing to-day dor all tree friends of Fr. nee and Englasd, likewise of Can- ada. For I am one of those who consider France and England, as mo- theriands, common to all Canadians My opinion of thirteen years ago is sull my opinion of to-day. Nice, June, 1589, Two words are striving for the gov- ernment of universe: "Force' and "Right." Power is more or less bal anced between the two. If might yields for a oumber of years, it re gains in a few months of war all the ground lost during the time of peace. Right is humane; force is cruel, Con sequently foree has a enormous pres tige. And wen call for it in all great commotions in the life of nations, ow- ing to the immutable principle that mutual destruction is inherent in ani mal life. Man has tried often to react against such a fatality, but he has so far sue ceeded only in ameliorating the art of killing each other by means of instru- ments made every day more perfect and deadly, War is "the among men. berous, less personification of force It has become loss bar cruel, now-a-days, owing to the "Convention of Geneva," which is the international legeslation of mur der. But it has acquired an appalling grandeur totally unknown to ancients. In the future, it will not be armies which will meet in the field, it will he entire nations, millions of human beings, hurking themselves against each other. In Europe only, there are actually more than 25,000,000 of men, armed. equipped, trained and ready for war It is terrible, it is absurd, it is foolish assuredly, but such it is and we have to how before it A nation which would risk to disarm, would imme diately be destroyed, struck off the ranks Of powers. In the face of such a situation. the most elementary prudence commands precaution, which is to arm the more men possible, to create immense depots of material and provisions, means of transportation by land and water, but prancipally to unite with other na tions, for mutual help and support. Germany, although powerful, after 1870, has soon put in practice this principle by forming the triple allianee, France, crushed down, sick in ber pride and in her organization, could not, after this cruel ance of ary body. At the time would have seemed to be an net mendicity, incompatible glorious past it of with her and her dignity as a great natin. But now, France _ is strong agin, She has retaken the rank which belongs to her in Europe, and her present duty is to form with her neighbors, solid ties, not only of friendship or sympathy, but of prac tical and mutual protection, The most important elements of an strong military | alliance are number and money. These are found, outside of the triple alliance, in France, Eng land and Russia. England, with her money and her fleet, the first in the world, France with her formidable army, her navy and her riches, and Russia with ber immense resources in men, would form the most gigantic agglomeration of forces, of ancient and modern times, Who would dare lift a finger on earth if this triple exterior slliance existed ? What nations would be un concerned enough about their inte rests to try a struggle against such a for. midable trio ? This powerfal alliance would be the surest safeguard of universal peace, Gambetta, the greatest patriot, per haps also the greatest French politic of modern times, had foreseen the ne cessity of such an international pact, or at lenst, his acts towards the end of his life showed a tendency to ap proach England and Russia. Everybody has present in their minds his famous dinners in tete-g-tete with the prince of Wales, dinners ofte n repeated and always accompanied with the greatest mystery. Gambetta was not the man to so eonrt the heir to the English throne for the simple pleasure to enjoy his company. He must have had besides, a more prac tical aim, I dare say this aim the one I mention here. But the simple force of routine tradition, among nations, even the most intelligent, is so strong, that these 'parleys between Gambetts and the prince of Wales, were one of the principal canses of the fall of the great ministry, which was aceused with compromising France into a ne salliance, anti-pathetic to the nation. In France, with the majority of the mass of the population, even with some of its most endightened elements, England is vet considered as the eudary perfidious Albino, proud and presumptuous. Here, at Nice, where the best class of English come by thousands, stay ing whole seasons, mixing with us in our clubs, at theatres and balls, 1 could ascertain how unpopular they were even amongst our officers.
