pon We THEM BEE B.S. PEE&ON, —~— PUBLISHER. FRIDAY, JULY 371801.” WirTnovr exaggeration of undue flat- tery, the Toronto Globe is the ablest conducted newspaper published in Can- ada, while its Saturday edition will compare very favorably with any jour- nal published on this continent. J * Tre Manitoba crops are in a most hopeful condition, the acreage under crop being 264,893 acres in excess of that cultivated last year. * Different from Ontario, if the crops failin Mani- toba the people are deprived of their only means of subsistance, whereas in Ontario the extensive dairying and stock-raising business serves as an off- set to poor crops. A bountiful harvest in Manitoba means considerable to farmers having from 300 to 1,000 acres under crop. A failure of the same is likewise a very serious matter. * z * Tre following resolution was passed at the General Assembly of the Presby- terian church at Kingston: That this Assembly re-affirm the opinion of past Assemblies regarding the nature of the ’ general liquor traffic and its evil effects on individual, family and social life, and the necessity of the faithful preach- ing of the Gospel to effectually over- come these evils and build up a Godly, temperate and prosperous nation; that it asserts its conyiction that, in the matter of legislation, nothing short of prohibition, rigidly enforced by the proper authorities, should ever be ac- cepted as final or satisfactory, and that itis now the duty of the Dominion Parliament to enact such a law. * * * Tre Montreal Star says: It has been remarked as a curious coincidence that fifty yearsago Sir John Macdonald, Hon. Oliver Mowat and Hon. Alexan- der Mackenzie were young men just beginning their careers in Kingston. Sir John was then a newly fledged law- yer, Mr. Mowat a student in his office and Mr. Mackenzie a working stone- mason. None of them had anything like the advantage for education and training now so bountifnlly supplied throughout the country. In the case of each of these three Canadian worth- ies, advancement on a career of honor und usefulness was the result of person- al pluck, energy, ability and the wise use of opportunities. Canada offers even a better field now than it did then to young men of like ability and charac- ter, and the fact that no three youthful contemporaries of the three Premiers, raised in wealth and assisted by friends, achieved the success they did, is proof that the field was open to them as it is now to young men who have the stuff in them that leads to success, * * * THE DIFFERENCE. The Canada Presbyterian in the fol lowing paragraph points out one of the leading points of difference between the Liberal and Conservative parties of Canada, It says: The dying hours of Sir John Macdon- ald were not made bitter by the ingrati- tude of his political friends. Never since party government began did any party stand more loyally by their chief than the Conseryatives of Canada haye stood by Sir John for more than a quarter of acentury. If some of them turned or remained away from the polls in 74 the fault was not theirs. In this respect the Conservatives of Canada and perhaps of Great Britain, present a marked contrast to the Liberals. The Liberals are always exacting, are easily offended, are often cruelly unreasonable in their demands, and are greatly given to finding fault with their own best men. Of course this is not true of all, but it is true of a number large enough to make service of the Liberal party ex- écedingly difficult and precarious, <A step that would ruin Mr. Laurier or cost Mr. Mowat his place would simply stiffen the backs of Sir John Macdon- ald’s friends. Sir John,of course, de- served much of the praise given him for managing men, but it should not be forgotten that his party has always been comparatively easy to manage. Loyalty to their leader has always been oneof their chief characteristics. Pos- sibly they may at times have carried their loyalty to excess, but we venture to say few of them regret at the present moment the course they pursued. When able men like Mr. Mowat or Sir John de- vote their lives to their country they certainly deserve the support of their friends. This Canada of ours needs all the statesmen she has, and she has never treatcu muny of them too gener- ously 5 aie 2 a. at cea ie Tre Supreme Court will take no ac- tion in the Manitoba school legislation until next October. —JO0KING BACKWARD. | Published by request.

He in the first place put a crane, And on the crane a hook, And on the hook a pot was hung, Thus mother used to cook.
