Tho Two Big Political Meetings NOW Pro- vincial Treasurer -Empire Loyal- ist Association. Tha month of June will see the city turning lui attention to non-political con- voutloiw and gathcriiigs of rligiou or- 1 ganixatiomi. chief of which this year will be tin, General AaHembly of th Preeby- h-i-i.i u Uhurch of Canada. It IH with a , ruellug ukln to relief that thin year we | turn to thHB wore placid functiona after .in orgy of political digcuaelou and meet- Ion, The climax came with the demonetra- tionu in honor of tb leaders of the Fed- eral parties. Aa indicating ihe height to which partisan fooling hau riven, it may be said safely that there never has been in the history of Toronto or of Canada two meetiugH held at a time when no uleutiou In announced or even in gight. that havo beuti as large, enthuaiafltio and temp8tuou au the meetlngd held this iii.int ii in honor of Sir Wilfrid Laurler . and Mr. Borduu respootivoly. It is Indeed , doubtful if any city ID Canada at any time, either during an election campaign or r\%:_v.-. has seen two Buch meetings j An observer could not but bo iuipmwed with the high feeling, approaching bit- i, TII.-,-,. which displayed iv.-lf to a great-! er or lose dugrvu at each of tho meetings. !

Won't Tolsrate Heckling. This point illustrate)) a great difference between a Canadian political meeting and ono held in Britain. In tho old country every speaker, no matter what his rank or standing, from the Prime Minister, down, in iihi expect to put up with heck- ! ling. In fact they expect it and many of the moot tmccettsful rpeak<-r thrive on | it. Th heckling is generally to the. point, but to an uneipcrienood speaker i: miint be disconcerting. However, In I Kngland he has to got uwd to it. But in Canada the audience itself will not stand it in the apparent belief that it ' sctms to reUect on IU own loyalty to the { epeikcr. There were two significant Incidents in connection with the viwit of the Prime j Minister. One was the faot that the 'coachman who drove hm carriage on the {night of the meeting had on a similar occasion performed tho same office for i the '.it.. Hlr John Macdonald. Ills name la John Barnes, and he i, of course, now j quite an old man. The carriage, too, was thu one i"'-'l for Sir John. The Famous Red Parlor. The other feature was the fnct that the I'lvi.-i -! lii .nl'iii.ii 'i iv for a portionl of hU i-'.-iy was mud at the Royal suite at the Queon' Hotel, Including the famoua red parlor. This famouH room Is situated on tho first floor ovurlooklng Front Ht. and th garden. It hag undergone no alterations In the lat forty years.
