MY STOCK OF THE SCHOOL QUESTION. The Western Bank. Readers of the S TATESMAN will peruee with pleasure the repor t of the annual meeting of this growing monetary instit u tion. The year' s business was very satisfac tory. After paying t he two semiannual dividend the compauy has been a.blti t o add ten thousand d ollars to 1ts R est, and still leaves $4,533 to the credit of Profit and L rJss Account, which is more than double the a.mount at its credit l a.st year. This, for a young bank, wit h the expense of es oablishing its uew agencies to meet, and its business largely to make, is an excellent r eco rd. '!' he fact that i ts net profits were six thousand dollars more than tl10se of the pr evious year, an incri:ase of 01·er t wenty per cent., a much Jar er proportione.d increase than was g . , . m u.de m the ·paid up capit al, shows t hat the pro moters of the b ank were justified in their earlier expectations. The deposits have largely increased as well as the . , geoeral busmese. A new office WBS opened in Paisl ey d uring the year which has excellent prospects befo re it. The B oard . . were re-elected whteh m turn r e-elected John Cowan, Esq. , President, and R. S. Hamlin, Esq., a.s V ice-President. A deserved vote of thanks was tender ed to T. II. McMillan, Esq., as Ca.shier, whose energy, indefatigable attention and caution have made the Bank what l.t it. We wish the officers ancl the Company the r ealization of the excellent prospects before them . TO THE PUBLIC.

BowMANVJLLF., 27, 1887. ------··----AUCTION SALES. ~================ THE B'ISHERIES TROUBLE. The action of the Euglish Government in- refer ence to the fisheries dispute has at last A hown just how much interest t h ey really tak e in the well-being of C1mad!\ end t he C1madians. Rather than put themselves to any inconveuience or exp ense t o uphold ot.r rights, they are prepared to sacrifice evMything that the C4Jladiau Government have for m onths past contended to be just and right. Lord Salisbury at the head of a government of bigoted and prejudiced aristocrats, has created by means of u njust oppr-ession in the witholding of righ ts aud privileges from those whose cry of distress has run~ t hroughout the civilized world, such a state of disorder and tumuH in Ireland, that iL is necessar y t o k ee p a h uge ~.tmy cons rautly on the spot, lest that country iong driven to d espcrntion should r ise at tlie slightest opportunity and make fl. bold strike for liberty. And e.o in order to keep peace with the United States Government, t hey have prnctically aaid, Take everything you want, and more too, only dont rrrnke any disturbance, b ecause we have got our lands full. So much for having the pow11rful arm o f Great Britain to protect us, for the sake of which we are put to a great expense ev.e1y year. The tru,h oi tho matter is, that the English people as a whole, car e, or kuow but V< 1 ry little about Canada or its inha.bitants. In fact a great part of them h ave nn idea bu t we are a ll part and par cel of the U nited States, or in nther words we are all Yankees. The after dinner high-fiuwn tall!: that we so often h ear and read of, about the deep affecti@n e&iriting bet ween the mother country and h er offspring is all moonshine. Le t any ordinary Canadian visit England for a shor t time, and h e will soon discover that we as a peopl e are as little known or cat:ed about as the ~inhabitan ts of tlle moon,:__if there be any. This is no doubt ver y humiliating to those of our friends who sing, "God a;ive th~ Queen," with so much fervor, and who a.!most worship anything English ; but still it i.., a sole mn aud awfu l fad, !l.!ld it cun not be denied.
