CURRENT POLITICAL HERESIES, Our finance minister has the Church- ill idea--one he enunciated while the conservative government was in power --npamely, that 'the people think good Kitties 'are sure so. ong sa the govern. ment goes on spending plenty of mon- ey." Churchill had been defending the Balfour government which hg was then supporting. A few months later be . differed with it and transferred his support to the liberal party. Arthur. Hawkes had a talk with him before 'Mr. Churchill returned from South Af- rica, and learned that he was going to smash Kitchener, Something had happened 'in - the career of the great commander, 'and Churchill was going to correct it. One can imagine what was, seeing that Churchill had been war, and that Kitchener deal to do with the man- it was conducted. the growth of a hos 'end of Churchill's = EERE ; 5 i if ig ¥ L "HARMONIZING THE RACES. Mr. Nickle, M.P., at the banquet of the commercial men, last night, ex- pressed a thought which was deeply impressive. The audience had listened to a , one out of the common, and defining from the speak- er's spoint of view, the relations he tween the French and English, and the part each had played in kuilding up the cause of the crown in Canada. Exveption was taken later to the interpretation of British history, in an impassioned speech by Rev, Mr. FitzGerald, but this did not detract from the merits of the main speech of the evening, which was that of a cul tured and eloquent man. And, most remarkable, its diction and ddlivery were perfect. Mr. Nickle made mention of this, and regretted that the Eng lish had not among their public men those who could visit Quebec from time to time and speak with the same case and fluency to the French, and in their own language, as the public mien of Quebec were able to do in On- tario. 3 The thought of our member was that by this interchange of thought the peoples of the two older pro- vinces might understand each othe the better, and, (though ha did not say it, one felt, as he spoke), that the bogey of bi-lingualism might be effect- ually laid. Certain it is that when one hears men like Mr. Lemieux and especially when he hears them ac- knowledge so graciously the gratitude which they feel towards the English for the national advantages they en- joy, his attitude towards the French perceptibly softens. The Nickle idea is the correct ome. Canadians reflect always their great, dominating and everlasting loyalty towards the crown of Gredt Britain, and they should, and must, be re- garded as one people, with similar tastes, desires and ambitions. The gospel of peace, carried abroad by men of the Lemieux stamp, and en- dorsed by men of the Nickle stamp, must go far towards consolidating our people in national plans and pur- Potes. . The Grain Growers' Guide wants the federal government to break up the lake merger by building and putting a number of vessels upon the' upper lakes. It could be none for $2, 500,000, which is the computed in- terest upon the cost.of the Welland canal enlargement. The Guide figur es that 6. per bushel is taken off the farmers by the increased cost of freights. MUSIC AND PEACE. *Canadian Night in Buffalo," and on Sunday week, in connection with the Munidgipal Concert, synchronized into a most remarkable peace demonstra- tion. These munivipal concerts, and usually by the Buffalo Municipal Or- chestra, have a special interest for the people, the|plan being to give free, to all who attend them, stated intervals, music of the highest character. Music is odifying, and elevating, and refining, and it is remarkable in its character because it is supplied at the public expense. Additional interest. was inspired by giving to certain appointments a national as- pect, aid the Canadians were hon- oured by an event in which - Cana- dian music was mostly used, and to the recital of which the Canadians in Buffalo and in the Canadian towns adjacent were invited to participate. Four thousand persons were pre- sant. The occaslon was magnified in ita J ui 25 Ex ep ¥ F fr § IHR -- - & » *1 a long time.

The "reform the tarifi"" members of the unionist party are not willing that their fad shall be sidetracked in England, and the forceiul language of some of them suggests that an- other crisis is upon the party.

Some compan- ies guarantee 7 per cent. on their preferred stock and pay dividends of as high as 30 or 40 per cent... This is one way' of making the consumer pay for emormous profits. He would wipe out the middle man. But how ? One appreciates the more the quips of our publi men when he sees couple of the best of them at play.
