SU man about the | BOOTH AND THE ARMY. The Salvation Army, as a religious institution, is emphasized by the pre- sence in the city to-day of General Booth, its founder, its great and only commander. The army occupies a un- ique position in the world, a position that not disputed by any generic force. It is over thirty-seven years since Mr. Booth, then a minister of the Me- .thodist church, conceived the idea that the church, by its methods, was not dealing with the conditions of the day. Men and women in the lower walks of life, in the slums of London, were going the way of all flesh with- out the stimulation which comes of Christian virtues and Christian ethics practically applied. He adopted me- thods of his own to raise the down- cast, the despondent, the depressed, to rescue the abandoned. It is not apparent by anything the Whig has seen, and relating to the early history of the army, that at the was contemplated. The military fervor and discipline, however, were aceepted as necessary to an end, the restraint of those who understood it and who could not be checked or reproved by means, Out of a crude begin- ning "has developed the Salavation Army as it is to-day, having for its leaders some of the ablest men, and a is exemplified by and success. is other management . which its extraordinary power It is represented by 14,000 officers, by nearly 8,000 corps, by stations in all the civilized countries on the earth, and by half a hundred books and pa- pers which 'are printed in nearly as many dialects and languages. Is the army "true to its mission ? The general has frequently referred to the service it has rendered the Encoland, and over and over phasized the fact that it has this field pretty much to itself. True, late vears it has appealed to the people of original to submerged tenth of again he has em- in wealth and has elicited from them the fitancial aid which has enabled it to carry on its work. While Mrs. Bal- lington Booth was with it she had the entree to New York's fashionalle cir- She invited out into eles: was even society because of her charming ways and addresses. Perhaps that experience is responsible for the defection which took place and divided even the Booth family. But the Salvation Army is superior to personal ambitions and differences, and it has gone on in its aggressive service without regard those who wearied in well doing. General Booth is an old man now, and his' talks are like the farewell ad- dresses of Moses to the Children of Israel, full of fatherly appeals, re- minders of God's providence, and of of sound advice. rn -------- LEAVES THE GOVERNMENT.

In he is free to say his newspapers what he pleases about current events and it Journalism is passes on its merits. He is free to give the government and the liberal party all the advice he likes, and it is theirs, to accept it if they like.

The public will not have to wait long for an answer. Your correspondent hears two or three names mentioned. Speaker Brodeur of the commons is'a liberal who has long been marked out for advance- ment. The question is, does he consid- er his health robust enough to war- rant the assumption of a very exact- ing post. "The next minister of public works," said a gentleman who will have something to say in the matter, "must be a man who is prepared to look aiter the affairs of the depart- ment properly. He will not have time to administer the affairs of half of his colleagues besides. It is known to most people that Mr. Tarte'd estim- ates for public works were very large, so large as to bring down upon the party denun-iations® of itz opponents. But how many are aware that, after having all this money voted session after session, either the minister him- self, or his incompetent staff, had not time to spare for the plans and the contracts to spenl it ?" Speaker Brodeur is an able debater, well informeds and well liked. There is no tinge of toryism in his blood. His family were reformers as far back as 1837. He was born in the district where. the Papineau agitation broke out in revolt. His father was one of the patriots who fought for what he regarded as fair government. "What would Premier Parent of Que- bec sav to the offer of this important portfolio in Sir Wilirid's cabinet? How would his selection balance off the loss of Joseph Israel?" said vour inform- ant. "The provincial premier bears the reputation of an exceptional ad- ministrator. Besides he has a follow- ing in the country, and a record be- hind him to win votes. Would he care to join his distinguished compatriot in the federal arena? Other prime ministers eave up office to take portfolio in the Laurier ministr- Mr. Blair, Mr. Fielding, Sir Oliver Mo- wat. They considered the exchange the nature'of an advance." Senator Dandurand is one &f the most striking figures in parliament. He has something to do with organiz- ation work, too. Tt has alwavs secem- ed to the writer that he was peculiar- lv out of place in the restful atmos- phere of the red chamber, where his stirring voice in the Cook enguirv, in advocacy of legislation to abolish lot- teries and usury in Montreal, fell lurgely upon unsvmpathetic ears. who rather resented these evidences of life, vigor, and heat in an "assemblage where debate is not looked on with favor that rises much above a whis- per. A seat could easilv be found for him in the commons if it were desir- ed. Will this be done? " a HISTORICAL SOCIETY. The Opening Meeting Held ' Tues- day Night.
