It is difficult to understand why a respectable paper like the Christian Guardian feels itself called upon to dziend the actions of Mrs. Nation. This woman is the leader of a gang in Kansas who deliberately walk in. to the houses of saloon-keepers and smash mirrors, glassware and any- thing they can lay their hands on. And yet the Guardian in a lengthy editorial lends encouragement saying day in referring to the coronation oath said “ It is to be hoped that the offensive language will be removed.” And the worst that Hon. Clarke Wal- laceâ€"who of course, as Grand Master of the Orange Lodge, voted in the minorityâ€"could say against the reso- lution was that “ if a wrong,r had been inflicted the British Parliament was generous enough to remedy it.” ‘{ our esteemed member." And what is the Sun’s reason for the stand it takes? Our cotem claims that the bishops and cardinals are intolerant» saying, “ We are informed that the oath these dignitaries subscribe to is equally ofl‘ensive to Protestants." We cannot say, as like the Sun man, we have never seen the oath referred to. Even the Mail and Empire of Tues- The Markham Sun flew into a rage last week because the Dominion Par- liament by a vote of 125 to 19 passed a resolution to petition the Imperial Government to modify the coronation oath which England’s monarch is com- pelled to take, and because Mr. WJ“. Maclean voted with the majority. Tue oath reads that the Roman Cath~ olic religion is “ idolatrous and sup- erstitious,” and is therefore ofiensive to our Roman Catholic citizens. It is acknowledged by everybody that the form of words in the royal pledge is harsh, severe and objectionable. Then why should loyal subjects have their feelings wounded and the ‘doc- trine ridiculed which they hold dear? And yet The Sun says: “ We cannot follow our esteemed member in the vote he has cast upon this occasion. Only his splendid grace of toleration could have prompted him.” The Sun stands condemned by its own words l When it refers to the “ toleration ” ofi The experience of the past has shown the need for such legislation, and it may be hoped ‘and expected that no more will be heard of those dishonest practices which have done so much to injure the reputation of Canadian fruit in foreign markets. The Minister of Agriculture has in- troduced legislation to provide for the proper marking of Canadian fruit macked for export, and for the inspec- tion of Consignments so marked. The bill enacts that all fruit in closed packages shall be of uniform size and quality,and with only a small stated percentage of defects, particulars of which shall be indelibly marked on each package, together with the name ’and address of the packer. No pack- age shall be so arranged that the faced or shown surface gives a false representation of the general contents of the package, and the minimum size in inches of the fruit is to be marked with other particulars on the package. Provision is also made for the inspec- tion by properly authorized officials 'of all packages so prepared for ex- ‘port, and penalties, both of fines and imprisonment, are provided for false marking or for interference with the inspectors in the discharge of their duty. The act comes into force next July. RmHMOND HILL. March 14, 1901 $313.3; H. U. Haney, nugav Ilnprl‘i-Ll 011' 00. Changeâ€" 1Lklnmxu A: Swiner. Ohnuguâ€" “ “kins a (to. Olerk'i Nanceâ€"(l. H. sciver.
