"Qpifer per Orbem Dicor.* ~The Results Of Self Sacrifice The Frick committee found such ir- regularities in the management of the Equitable Assurance company, that it recommended the removal of all the chief officers and a complete reorganiz- jation of the business. Some of the wrongs, unsparingly condemned were these : The vioe-prosi- dent, who held a "Thajority of the stock, and therefore was master of the. situation, repeatedly misused his pow- er.

The president was ¢ the first vice-president, because he knew of what was going on and did not stop it. The Frick comunittee did not ac complish its purpose. 'But it created such a hubbub that there was no help for it but carry out its provi- sions, So there is a new head for the Equitable, Mr. Morton, lafe secretary of the navy, and he may or may not f some of them. All have resigned meanwhile. Most of the moneys deposited with the trust companies have been called in. There will be no further investments or expenses without the authority of the executive committee, The securities will be held by the company. The | control of the Hyde stock will be held bythe trustees, who will see that it is no longer a menace to the society. Practically all that the Frick com: mittee rocommendell has been carried out, though the committee's report . | was rejected and its members left the socidty's directorate, In other words the men who undertook a great reform in the leading life assurance society of Amorica, have had to sacrifice them- selves for the good of others. But they went down in a good cause, and will receive the thanks of the dreds of th ls of policy-hold- ers whose interests have been safe- guarded: by their service, The Gazette Expostulates. The Montreal Gazette (conserva- tive) is not concerned with the bye- elections in London and North Ox- ford. It sees no special significance in these elections, and protests that par- liamcnt should have gone on with its * business during the last two weeks instead of practically marking time, If the Whig reads its contemporary aright it finds fault with the govern- ment because it has modified the au- tonomy bill to meet the views of Mr, Sifton and others. Much that has been said in debates is discovered to be little less than insulting to the Catho- lie people. "Ag for the opposition," it is re marked, "while it will stand to gain by what will discredit the government, it will not'be in a position to pro- fit by a course which will set against it, and be likely to keep against it, the great mass of the Catholic elec: tors of the country. The autonomy bills cannot be-defeated in parligment. 1f they were defeated separate schools would not be abolished in the west, 'neither would the right of appeal to parliament given to the minority by the B.N.A. Act, be done away with." The Gazette does not see gny sign that masses have been moved by the storm which has raged in the com: mons, in the Toronto press, and late- ly in London and North Oxford. The opposition did well, it says, in com- ing out for provincial rights. But "it will do badly if; in the heat of the success of its candidates, it enters up- {on a course which will cut it adrift | from the traditions of the conserva- tive party and get against .it the mass of a religious minority that includes forty per cent. of the Canadian peo- ple." Hon. Mr. Borden set out, in the | autonomy bill debate, to avoid mak- ing the school question a party one. In going 'to North Oxford and Lon- |don, however, and in endorsing the racial cries of his political friends, he has done that which he will live to repent. In some of the New York Sunday schools the officers and teachers are paid, and handsomely, for their work. | Some things can be taught well, by } | sembly of the Presbyterian ohurch has | again expressed itself with regard to to be brighter since the Gemeral As- ber and given the assurance of that financial support which the great institution requires. Dr. Gordon re- calle} an important point in its career. There came a time when the spirit of the university appeared to want a freedom from church commection, when, as a national seat - of learning, it could appeal to a wider constituency and command its support. Then the church rallied. It esteemed the col- lege as a precious heritage, and it undertook, for the sake of ties that it did not wish sundered, to raise an endowment of half a million dollars. Again, at a subsequent meeting of the assembly, this position was. em phasized and the presbyteries, by which the subject was discussed, with one notable exception, voted concur- rence in the proposition. Now one step further is taken, An agent has been appointed by the General Assom- bly to present the endowment scheme to the church in its most attractive light. This agent is a son of Queen's, withthe qualities' of heart and mind that give promise of the complete suc- cess of his mission. There is no educational work in ('anada which is more important than that io which Queen's is committed. So far it has made great strides to- wards eminence through the sacrifices of its friends. They have shown their appreciation of it by their givings. They are still willing to espouse 4 noble cause, and the departments out- side of arts and theology (all that will be aided by the church endow- ment), will require them to be fruit- ful in devotions. > The contrast has Neen presented be- tween Queen's and Victoria, with re- gard to personal contributions, for the endowment of chairs. Victoria has had, however, the benefit of Dr. Potts' diplomacy. as educational sec- retary, and he has had the faculty for putting his hand upon the wealthy men' of the Methodist church, and of turning their attention to enterprises in which they could get the highest satisfaction. It may be only necessary for Rev. Mr. Laird to indicate to the wealthy admirers of Queen's the avenues it affords for usefulness, and the rest will. follow. His work principally is the raising of half a million dollars, Jess $125,000, which have been al- ready subscribed, but it will not end with the completion of one task. The aims of Queen's cannot be circum- scribed. : The trades' council of London, has pronounced Mr. Grey, the econserva- tive candidate, "an ememy of organi- zed labour." -- How can the conservative party ex- pect any Catholic votes for its Lon- don candidate when so much is said that reflects upon them and their re- ligion ? -- Advertising pays--in newspapers and magazines. The money that is put into the literature that is sent through the mails is largely wasted. The bulk of it reaches the fire un- read. Winnipeg is kicking against the high prices of electricity. The Tri- bune says that umtil power is re duced in value electric fans and heat- ers "are eostly luxuries beyond their reach." Kingston's experience over again. Who has heard of coke eaters ? Who supposed that in the dust of this fuel men and women. could find in- toxication? Yet = family of coke eaters have been found in New York in a besotted and dazed condition. The thing is scarcely creditable. Canatla has the lowest divorce rate in the world--four per year per 10,- 000. But divorce in Canada can only be had through the senate. A cheap- or way to freedom is through the American, courts, and the States get the credit of all divorces secured in them. The Ottawa Journal's Woodstock correspondent gives Hon. Frank Oli- ver credit for invading the "'ememy's camp," an opposition meeting and giving "'straight and direct answers" to "a number of pertinent questions." The minister of the interior is not a coward, . Rev. W. J. Clark, of tho First Pres- byterian church, London, says, in a letter to the press, that he is not a politician. But he cannot refrain fropy repudiating a circular which has been circulated anonymously and re- flecting upon the Catholic church and Catholic priesthood, "Three Swallows."

It would appear that these officials voico and the: meaning of the few words of congratulation and welcome tered: ut ¥ After the moderator had replied "in kind" it was opportune that Dr. Milligan should call for a special ex- pression of the assembly towards the city whose history has been unique in its benefaction towards the unmiver- sity. No one could state the case with such st h and propriety as he. Fortunate it is that re some diplomacy is needed, Queen's has such, an ambassador at the provincial capi- tal. We arc not sure of his treaty- making gifts, but he is indispensable at court. Walter Paul seconded the motion and thus "in our commercial metropolis we look to him, who has served on many 'a high commission, to see that endowment' as well "as congratulation is forthcoming, Principal Gordon was to the fore with - a report of progress ré the Queen's matter. The house soon fill- ed, as from the lobbies of parliament, men gather when a great leader rises at an epoch-meking juncture. We have heard hint on several t oc- casions, when like from "Nestor, the sweet-speaking, clear-voiced orator of the Pylians," speech fiowed like honey. Yesterday "was no exception. None could have handled tho subject with such a deft 'touch; sincere atti- tude and convincing power. Would that all men wha assay to address the assembly in the popular evening meetings could cateh the secret of his cloquence, and 'move as definitely. cover the salient ints! He reasoned Slosely fram inet to fact, drew ana- ogy after analogy and spened muny a prospect. "And figally after referring to princely gifts fram Canadian pub- lic men to other institutions, he con- trasted the fortunes of the university in this regard. "Queen's" said he, "is not without her precious things. I go over yonder and see one small tab- let which recalls the subscriptions of some 500 benefactors, then another of 2,500, and still another of 6,000, and I ask is there any' other parallel of such affection? It is by faith and self-sacrifice ' that we have built, but no better cement for our walls. Two ex-moderators, neither of thew Gueen's men,' one being now the jy rin- cipal of Knex, supported in no less earnest words the 'argument of the first speaker. They have liberally sub- seribed to tho same, as the ghairman of the Toronto board has on done. This would have pleased the late Principal Grant for they have "let the deed show." To an outsider the yuery comes, how do all classes and ereed ( movers ? Or have ! the late proceed- ings given a 'chill to former friends from other churches ? We can imagine such 5 possibility, the old Adam has a selfishness and suspicion which are hard to kill. But -Dr. Gor- don struck tho nail gn the head when he said that church connection did not mecessarily mean sectarianism. That this is true, Jet e last quar- ter of a century testify. And that it will remain so, let the 400 yéars since the days of John Knox give evidence. We ke a single guotation from a late conservative writer--No man in England or Scotland who values liberty, natural, civil or religious, can speak of Knox without reverence and gratitude. This should be a guaran tee that whatever good the Presbyter- ian church can da for Queen's will be done; without any fear that any test or disadvantage will be given to whosoever drinks at her truth, The truth is mo one could get a hearing in-the trustee board or in the church for such a movement, and to hint at such a policy is to be entirely ignorant of the whole sub- ject. : hear the man who has been appointed agent for the endowment an old rugby scrimmage, hard chaps, and looked long now'as never before.

That it was well patronized the presence of at least a half dozen ex-modergtors suf- ficiently demonstrates.
