In ancient times bullbaitingcock- fighting and prize fighting were re- cognized and even. ‘encouraged by ghe upper classes of society, but in The prize fight which took place on Monday last, in one of the states of the Union, between Sullivan and Kilrain, clearly shows that men can carry on their ruflianly exhibitions there with comparative satety as tar as the law is concerned. Betore it took place a great deal had been said in the American newspapers, relative to the fight, some of them saying that the state governors were on the alert. and would certainly put a stop to the “manly sport” be- fore the human friends had a chance to pommel each other. But when the day arrived every arrangement had been made for the reception of the public, and the thousands who attended had every opportunity to l witness the disgraceful scene which ‘ lasted for about two hours and a hall. In fact the newspaper reports only acted as advertisements, as some papers place the gate receipts as high as $30,000. ' Much as many Canadians would wish to see a treaty of Unrestricted Reciprocity between Canada} and the United States, they shrink iron] the idea of annexation on account of the laxity of many of the laws of the latter country. No better example can be given than the looseness of the law in reference to prize fight- ing. English laws have long since forbidden any such exhibitions, and fortunately in Canada her rulers have two much sell-respect to toler- ate anything so low and debasing. The charter of the Metropolitan Company only allows the track to be laid as far north from the city as York Mills, but many are or the opinion that it will not be long ere those electric cars will run as far north as this village. ' The President of the company, Mr. W'arner, is very confident that the change will be a satisfactory one, and is so enthusiastic about the matter that he is now on a tour visit< ing several Cities in the United States where it is in operation, with a view of still improving the scheme he has in hand. Those who have inspected this new invention claim that large loads of freight can be carried over the lines, and that the cars can be controlled without any difficulty whatever. One of the principal objections advanced, and one which the committee were re- quested to look into closely, was the fear that the cars would be likelv to frighten horses. From personal ex- perience the report was that horses would not be any more timid of them than of the ordinary street car pre- ceded by horses. Some few weeks ago THE LIBERAL pointed out that a committee of seven members of York County Council had been appointed to Visit Pittsburgh and Allegheny, Penn, with a View of inspecting the Elec- tric Railway system of those cities. Before starting,more than one mem- ber of that committee had expressed themselves as not being favorable to the scheme, but after a thorough examination we understand their report to their brethren in Council was of the most favorable nature. So much was said in favor of elec- tricity as a propelling power instead of horses that the Council had little hesitation in granting the request of the Metropolitan Street Railway Company, to run the cars along Yonge St. RICHMOND HILL.

I cannot see how he can escape this consequence consistently with the doctrlne that b‘md has unchanzeably foreordained whatsoever comes to pass, and . A,» 77 _ l was not a bit dishonest; in making the quotation on Furenrdinatinn (011;: p. iii Sec. iii) as I did, for logically ic did no} make any difference, and if I have, as he says, shown any stupidity. it will be seen from my explanation. His letter is written in a. spirit and style of courtesy not; usual with his brethren. His heading. however, was a. little startling tn one especially of my gentle disposition. When I beheld it I thought I would have fainted, but I changed my mind when the mens conscia recti, or the testimony of a good con- science came to my aid, and from the consciousness of not having lied, or half lied, I felt relieved of all embarrassment. And these people who are so sancti- monious that they would be shocked at the profanity of whistling on the Lord’s Day. have no scruple at all about bearing false witness against their Catholic neigh- hnrs, and exciting ill will against them on the same Lord’s Day. I repeat it, a priest cannot pass through the streets of Toronto Without being insulted owing to the harangues of these parsous, whose sermung breathe nothing but hatred of Uathnlics. These are ihe gentlemen who will pick up and patronize any fraud who comes along as a No Popery crusader, and afterwards qaote and publish his misrepresentations as the doctrines of the Catholic Church. And these are the dis- courses which they call sermons, or preaching the gospel. Well, suppose for the sake of argument, that all they say about us is true. does it follow from that that Presbyterianism is the only true faith? I have not known any of the clergy at- tempting to defend Presbyterianisin ex‘ cept Mr. Fenwick, and for, that I again tender to the rev. gentleman the expres- sion of my admiration. Any means which tend to gratify this passion, tn realize this end, they seem to hold lawful. and they can adopt them, however base, detestable and shocking in themselves, with a quiet conscience and admirable self-Complacency. Any one entering the Presbyterian: chmch here of late, during the serifice, ‘wnnld be con- vinced of the truth of these remarks. There one might wait in vain expecting to hear some words of charity or gospel truth. anthing of the kind comes, but in its stead that. everlasting hammer and tongs at the aggressions and errors of Romanian). Is this all the Presbyterian ’J‘heulogy that is ever taught in their churches, and if not, how is it we never hear anything else ? The reports of their sermons, which we sometimes read in the newspapers, are all on the same theme. As a rule Presbyterian ministers con- tent themselves with proving that the Catholic Church is very corrupt, that her doctrines are damnable. idolstrous, sn- perstitious, and heathenish, &c., and that her dogmas and practices are subversive of the principles which guard social order. All this they do triumphantly, to their Presbyterian congregations, who have long since learned to take all this as a matter of course. Some of them may be sincere in all this, but this sincerity, if such there may be, is in regard to the em] for which they profess their doctrine, rather than to the doctrines themselves. The principle common to them, and the only one we can always be sure they will practically adhere to, is that the end jus- tifies the means. The and they propose is neither to save soulsâ€"for these are saved or lost by decreeâ€"nor is it to dis- cover and obey the truth, but to destroy or elude Catholicity. The spirit which possesses them maddens them against the church, and gives them an inward repug- nance to everything not apposed to her. To overthrow her, to blot her out of ex- istence, or to prevent her from crushing them with the weight of her truth, is to them a praiseworthy end, at least a great and most desirable end; direCLly or in- directly, consciously or unconsciously, it becomes a ruling passion. ~ Sm,â€"I have seen the letter of Rev. Mr. Fcnwick, Presbyterian minister, of Elder’s Mills, Ont., criticising my re. View of the doctrine or Foreordiuatiuu. It is very seldom that Presbyterian min- isters attempt any defense of their own creed, and therefore I have great admir- ation for Rev. Mr. Fenwick’s courage, whatever I may think of his discretion.
