Tt was deemed impossible to have a large muster of men anywhere, in the country's ser. vice, without erecting in some con- "venient place the shack which covered a supply of spirits. The women really mate this appointment unpopular, and yy. the - membsors of the on They argued that it was not neces- sary that the young men, who gener- ally constituted the camp, should be tempted into dissipation by the can- teen and the consumption of liguors which it suggested. They had to fight qdesperately for the cause, but the wo- 'men were mighty and they prevailed. The defenders of the canteen died hard. Some of them were officers who had to. fo swith the management of camps. They said that the canteens kept the men in camp, and they drank less accordingly. When they had to go to the town or city adjacent they imbibed too much. - The experience of the Hughes' camp is most instructive. The canteen was missing and the drinking which it en- couraged. The men came to the city daily, © Those who wanted their beer obtained it, but there has been a re- markable and most commendable fabesnce of intoxieation. The com- mandant of the eamp let it be known t enrly that he expected the troops to be well conducted and a credit to 'themselves and : the militia depart- | ment, and what he desired has come 'to pass. The camp, now nearing a close, has been a good one. It has been particu- "larly noted for the: sobriety of the men who have been identified with it, and they are to betcongratulated.

The present min- ister of commerce, whom our coutem- porary reproaches, is a free trader who could not set aside the product suddenly without locating business connections. There is in Canada, as there is in the United States, a malifest desire to get away from a high tirifi. Under the Laurier government there has been an lowering of the customs duties, and they can be lower still, though time the money raised in #xcess of or- dinary requirements can be devoted to necessary public works, > In the United States the signs of the times are clear. A lower tariff will be the slogan in the next national election, and the party that is pledged to it will surely win. That party may be the republican, in which case the high raters of the senate will not be able to defeat in the house, they were last year, the legislation which the people demand. THE MILLENIUM AT HAND. The leader of the opposition has got the start of the leader of the government in one respect. He has begun his summer campaign the soon- er, and has had less enthusigsm than he expected, ana smaller audiences in some instances, though that is no fault of his, The East Toronto and Long Branch meetings have been des- eribed by a vonsegvative writer in the Telegram as failures.' That at the Branch "was a corpse, cold and lifeless," thanks to the blundering of the machine, or the men who - econ- trol political events from the Albany Club, The feature diy in the mean- as of the eonservgtive meetings has been the friendliness of the liberal electors. At certain places there were half holidays, by civic proclamations, and the mayors read addresses in which kindly greetings were offered to the visitors. Time was when a liberal was not expected to attend a conservative meeting. In this city a Whig representative, who inaugurated the plan of reporting all meetings as a matter of information, was treated as a spy. Thank good: ness that time has passed, Presently oug.: gifted leader, Sir Wilfrid Laurier, will set out upon his western tour, beginning at Fort William and extending across the con- tinent. He will address meetings in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia, and the Canadian Courier is quite correct in assuming that he will meet "many who never voted for his candidates and never intend to," They will reciprocate the favour the. liberals of Ontario are showing Mr. Borden, and there is no doubt, as our contemporary remarks, that they will "add to the measure of the siiccess' which will be his on this occasion." There are two things on which some people differ to the point of breaking friendship, namely, religion and poli- tics, The followers of the Ideal Man, and calling themselves Christians, will sometimes act fs if they were bereft of His spirit, and the politicians, who should be able to. differ on public questions without losing their heads, are sometimes vapable of very - great meanness, Wonderful, isn't it? HW, as a result of the meetings which Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Mr. Borden will address, men can regard each other with becoming respect the first step will be 'taken towards the political millenium. 4 A ------------------ EDITORIAL NOTES. J. J. Hill, the great railway man, warns the working classes to econo- mize, that another period of depres sion will come aguin, and in due time, and next time it will last longer. Mr. Hill is usually a wise old man, and his advice 3 worth taking. Governor Hughes has summoned the legislature of New York for an extra session, and in order to pass neces- sary legislation. He is a political martinet, whose absence will be felt. It is too bad that he is passing out of public life, but he will be a power on the bench. The preachers everywhere are de- claiming against the §treet walking in which 50 many young people indulge. There is a menace in it of which some parents appear to be unaware. They had better wake up. That which the preachers see any one can see if he is really anxious. b-- Kingston is too small, we suppose, to call for the work of a hoard of control.

Under Arvest--Wife and Child Lost. Lancaster, Pa., June *2.-J. C, Grice, a member of the senior class of the Millersville Normal School and a resident of Sharpsburg, Md., has been placed under arrest here in connection with the disappearance of his wife and two-weeks-old baby. Grice is twenty-two years of age, and his wife, who was Miss Ellen Dorsey, also of Sharpsburg, is. twenty years old. The couple have been boarding in this cily, and last Thursday evening he hired a carriage, stating he was going to take his wife to the railway station to send her to her home, The last seen of the woman and baby wns when they enteted the carriage. A storm was raging at the time, neighbors expostulated against taking the woman out in such weather. Grice said what he did was none of their business. His actions aroused the suspicions of the neighbors and the police were noti- fied. An investigation disclosed that the woman did not arrive at her home. The police say they found that no one answering her description got on the train and no tickets were sold that night to Hagerstown or Antie- tam, the points from which she could reach her home. Grice is reticent, and all the police can get out of him, they say, is that he pot his wife and child on the train and sent them home, The police claim they have some circumstantial evi dence which they refuse to disclose at the present time.
