The N ew Presbyterian Hymnal, with tulnes, Price 60c. Do Not Fail To Procure A Bi ble--most Wonderful Value, 0* # e School Supplies. BOWMANVLLLE. FEt3. 9, 1898. Mr. Whtney belongs Vo the Church af England. From a character sketc h in Sa turday's Mail we learn that Mr. Whitney came of Liberal stock. The Flaneur in Saturday's Mail says "neyer be dead sure of a race until its wo," 50 work like beavers the rest of month for Dr. Mitchell. Because the British have perfected the party system the v are the freest people on the face of he earth, Tbrou gh the clash and f riction of opposing part- ies cores great good Vo the nation.-J. p. W*dtey. '"Independent Indus rial Association" is the namne chosen Vo take he plaice of Patrons of Iudustry in -Manitoba. W'e don't like the name; its oo cumbersome. The frst word '"Independent" with an *"S" added would be cqually compre- hensive and sufficienth- distinctive. When Mr. D B. Simnpson entered the Reformû Conivenition while ini session he~the other day alter his r"turn fromi Dansville, N;. Y., where he spent"six weeks in regaining'lost'health,his heart mnust have "Irisen in bis tr at,"aSwe s3ay, when hie wisnessed the spontaneous out burst of welcome home applause that greeted bis entrance. Ris re-elec- tion as Ronorary President by a stand- ing vote was likewise further assurance of the respect and confidènce entertain ed for hlm bybis fellow electors. Al were delightedVo see the marked im provernent in bis physical condition. Opposition papers' stili persistentlv assert that Ontarioolias no surplus, on the ground that he interest on he out- standing annuities must be aken into account. At that rate the Treasurer would be justified lu. crediting bis pro- vince with future assets. If a munici- pality issues 20 years debentures for $100,000l at 6 per cent. it does noV, in making up its books,convert that Hiabib- ity into one of $Î20,000 by adding $6000 of interest for 20 years Ito the face, value of he bonds. Yet this is exactly what he Çonservatives do with regard Vo the Ontarto annuities,and make hemselves ridiculous hereby in he eyss of busi- ness men.

Mr. Whitney conceived a strong aver- sien Vo he Patrons of Industry as far back as 1894, and since then he bas been at no pains Vo conceal his opinion of hem. When this organization was struggling for existence the Opposition leader,, speaking lun Dundas County, is reported Vo have said :-' 'e (Mr. Whitney) drew attention Vo the attempts Vbat wsre be- ing made Vo bind the Patrons Vo support every candidate nominated by the soc- iety. This was a most monstrous pro- position, and he warned Cons -rvatives and Reformers alike agaiust its couse- quences. IV was a direct stab at their liberties and freedom, he snjoyment of which thsyhad been conïmemorating that day. IV was a sin against huinanity. Think what iV amounted o! A man who is an annexationist or an infidel or a thief -thle worst man in hs commun- ity-ighlt bechlossu, and hs good, lîonsst, God-feýarinig man will'be coin- pellsd Vo grovel in the mireand vote for sncb a man. There was; neither pallia- tion nor excuse for sncb au, attempt Vo undo hs work of centuries aud irob the people of their anodndtheýir liberty and those who weure the, instigattors of iV had noV the interest of hs farmners at hseart aud wsre unworthy of the confi- dence of anybody." Iu the Legisiature, on Mardi 2 Î, 1895, speaking against Mr. Raycock's medical bill, Mr. Whitney said :---"Last spring a squad of adventurers wvere 1etV boss over he sasteru portioni of hs Province. They presided at oyster suppers with great unction and grew sleek aud fat. They old h farmers that ths prof es- sions had special lsgislation and that they -were fattening upon hs poor, downtrodden and oppressssd farmers. Occaslonally they got people Vo believe thenm, and bers, Mr. llaycock, noV al- toge ther master of himself, got up with this bill for fear tbese imisguided people xill cal hs instructors false prophets or soraething worse. The bibi should be Vrowu ont of hs Rouse without cere- mony, and Vere had issu imes wheu bibis lîke that bad issu bui-ned by hs common.haugman" Iu hs debate on the address, March 4tb, 1895, Mr. Howland says:-"There are 110w five -parties- instead of Vwo as before.. T.bsre was hs party which, ike au insurrection, had cone from hs rural districts, and which, as anoient conquerors passed hs plough over hs ciies of hs vanquished, Vreatened the country the boon of free goverument." In hs Legisîsture of March 26h,1895, Col. Matheson declared that hs Patrons had aken no part in hs cri icism of hs estimates, their voices had neyer beén he'ard upon hs subject of hs Province's expenditure, aud yà thy were hs men who had held forth f romn every platformn in hs country that Vbsy were, going Vo hs flouse Vo check over-expeuditure. Then Col. Matheson detailed his own experience in hs electou-how be had issu opposed by a Patron, how he had been nominated by a convention, three fiftbs composed of farmers, how he was confident ho represented hs farmers of bis coustituency quite as wsbl as did Mr«. Raycock, and finaly, how lie had heaten bis Patron opponent by 1,400 majority. Dr. Willoughby at Ramilton, on Fr1- day, March 5Vh, 1897, said :-"Tbe Pat- rons had shown Vemsebves Grit fb-st aud Patron afterwards. Likehs rooster 1 arn prepared Vo denounce hs Patron party as exemplified by their represen a- ives lu this bouse.
