Newmmket D BLOUGE SATANIC LANGUAGE, In the course of a sermon in a lead- ing Methodist Church in Toronto last Sunday accoxding to the Evening News of that city. she. preacher is re- ported to have condemned in the most emphatic terms, “ Sir W'ilfrid Lauricr, Mr. Tax-to and the rest of those French demigods who have tried since the hostilities began, to stir up racial strife between the French and Eng- lish.” The best reply that could he made to such absurdities is the follow- ing stingin rebuke by the Montreal \Vitness, t c recognized exponent of the views of the English and Protest- ant minority of the Province of Quebec in which if any where this racial strife would be felt :â€"“ More satanic language than the above from the To- rento evening News ” says the Witness “ we have never seen in print. “7e do not hold the preacher mentioned for the astounding calumny with which he is credited, as a paper which would ‘ so traduce the man who has done more than any statesman Canada ever had on behalf of British connection, and who is true to his country, in spite of such little-minded malice and hideous mgratitude, would misrepresent any one to gain its base political ends. As for the stirring up of racial strife, the whole of the antiâ€"Laurier press has never ceased to fume with it. While the French organ of Sir Charles Tup- per has been rupplying its readers with antiâ€"British sensations the English ones are doing everything that lan- guage can do towards making ourfel- low countrymen bitter toward us. No More eflective method to this end could possibly be adopted than the pom-in of such unscrupulous venom 1 upon t 105s of them that have been utterly true and splendidly loyal.” INEXCUSABLE DESCRIMINATION. The railway commission proposal has received further attention this week, and no better evidence of the necessity of effective action and that with no undue delay, could be produc- ed, than the figures quoted by Mr. Campbell of Kent. He said that last year the rate for flour for export from Toronto to Montreal, 334 miles, was 14% cents per hundred pounds while from Chicago, 500 miles further west, to the sauieisea port the rate was only 15 cents per hundred pounds. At the same time from Guelph, Galt, Strat- ford and other outside milling centres, per hundred pounds more than the rate from Chicago. Last year too, the Americans could send flour from De- troit to Montreal for export, for 11% to millers had to pay. It is not neces- sary to point out how injunbus suchdis- crimination is to the Canadian export trade, or how greatly its abolition would stimulate the business of the Dominion. There can be no question that it is time to provide a. remedy for this condition of afiairs. THE FRANKING PRIVILEGE. Last week I referred to an inquiry made in the House respecting the al- leged abuse of franking privileges by members of the Government, and on Thursday afternoon the Opposition had the assurance to reintroduce the matter and nearly the whole. sitting was wasted in a by no means profitable discussion. There is no doubt in the WCl‘ld that franking privileges of , members and Ministers have, to put it ‘- mildly, been construed by both parties in the moSt liberal manner, but as Mr. Fraser of- Guysborough pointed out, when there is a doubt as to the mean- ing of a law the recognized procedure of the courts is to endeavor to ascer- tain what was the intention of those who framed it; and he showed, much to the amusement of the House, the extremely generous way in which the late Government construed their own Order-in-Council for the benefit of themselves and their friends. Consid- erable ingenuity was displayed by the Opposition in their endeavor to Wrig- gle from the charge, that for the eight- een years of their administration, and for every month of each of those years, they had knowingly and grossly, abused their privileges in this respect. L There was no pretence on the part of the Government that the wrong doing s of one party should excuse similiar actions in their opponents, but that such similiar action had occurred since 5 the present Administration took office, was denied, and abundant proof produced in support of that denial. It film 5' b would however he more edifving to hands were to adopt Mr. Fraser‘s sug- gestion, and mutually agree on a more the country and in better keeping with the dignity of Parliament, if all 1. ‘ dystrict interpretation of the law in 1 future. the charge to Montreal was 1% cents. ’ cts., or three cents less than the Toron- v The concert given by the Lilurary Society (in \Vednesday uvening was very successful. The proceeds amount- ed 828, and as :mnoum‘ed this will be used in aid of the National Patriotic Fund. The hall was tastefully decor- ated with Union Jacks, evergreens and pictures for the occasion, and in Our Ottawa Letter. Maple spite of the stormy evening was well filled. The programme was a lengthy and varied one, and most of the selec- tions were of a patriotic character. Dr. Sisley made an excellent chairman. and performed his duties acce tably. The choruses, “Victoria Our ucen,” “Sons of the Sea” and “Up With the Flag,” were sung by the chorus club of the society and weie much en‘oyed. The soloists weie Mrs. (Dr.) ‘isley, Mrs. E. Elliott, Miss Edith Keffer. Miss Gertie Stewart, Mr. W. L. Kefier and Mr. J. Blough, who all sang in a very pleasing manner and were heartily en- cored. Mr. \V. L. Keffer and Mr. J Blough fairly brought down the house in a duet, personating Paul Kruger and General Buller. Recitations were given by Miss Emma Byam, Miss Nellie Campbell and Mr. W. Robinson, all of whom held the close attention of the audience by the excellent render- ing of their selections. Two amusing numbers of the programme were a. dialogue entitled, “ Bridget’s Invest- ment ” by five members of the society and a. dialogue, “ \Vhy VVe Never Married” by seven maids and bacheâ€" lors. The programme closed with a. fancy flag drill by sixteen young ladies dressed in White, who Went through the different movements very gracetully. Rev. C. A. Campbell, Rev. J. W. Stewart and Rev. E. Dymond were present and each gave a. short ad- dress. The society is to be congratulat- ed on the success of the entertainment, as the object for which it was held is such a worthv one. A quiet wedding took place at the residence of Mr. John Kinnee on Wed- nesday 2lst inst., when Sadie, his adopted daughter. was married to Mr. Marshall Hunt, of Curlisle, Ont. The ceremony was performed by Rev. J. \V. Stewart, in the presence of a. few intimate friends of the bride and groom. 1 . O’Rev. J. “7. Stewart; exchanged pul- pits with Rev.
