The quarrel which originated in congress when the alleged insur gents refused to be suppressed, when Speaker Cannon thundered against them, and the regulars conspired to humiliate them, goes on. The revolt has spread through she country and has so disaffect- ed and divided the old republican party that in every recent test of pub- lic opinion it has miffered defeat. There was the shock in Massachu- setts, in New Hampshire, in Ohio, and in Maine. Fach had its significance, and the last shock was the worst. | have their i lism, with all They resembled the eruptions of Mount Etna, in that some of them were mere 'rumblings of the greater one which carvied disaster with it.

There has been an gecamulation of digcontent until finally the friends of the party, even in its strongholds, punished it in or der to correct its faults, The outlook is that the next House of Representatives will be anti-repub- lican. The senate will be largely trans- formed. Some of the veterans who have ruled the second chamber like tyrants will be missing. A few of them have had the good sense to re- tire from the political arena. But who will take their places ? The democrats own variances. The party has suffered many deflections.

Another makes bold to declare that technical or man- ual training must be made « 'conspicu- ous feature of the city schools. Still another has discovered that the want of the day is for school teachers--{here 1s The weakness of the school system is ite inability, as it is constituted, to meet the varied requirements of the commendation pet year. It could do splendid service if it had but two de purtments--{1) to give to young men and women the~culture they require in every walk in life; and (2) to give to the' matriculants the on must have before entering Queen's Uni- versity, Every county should" have its agri- cultural school, the school to which the young men and women (ior in Eng- land the girls are students in garden- ing, and make the most of their edu- cation) can go and qualify for useful- ness as they cannot under present cir- cumstances. 'In Frontenac there are too many schools of a kind. There is an institute in Kingston, in which in- struction is given in the arts and sci- ences, and teachers are primed for their examinations: and there is a high school at Sydenham which is doing the same work, One institution should an- swer for these purposes. That at Sydenham could become an agricultur- al school, or a teachers' school, or both. Its importance should certainly be increased, and with the effect of re- ducing the stress and over-crowding in Kingston. The whole educational system wants reforming, but it will want this so long as Hom, Dr. Pyne is the minister in charge of the department. He is clearly unequal to the task or strain that is laid upon him. He has a deputy who could do something if the cares of office were laid upon him; but he cannot act while his superior blocks the way. ~ SOUTH AFRICA'S ELECTION. The hero of South Africa, General Botha, has been defeated in the first federal election, but his party has triumphed. . He probably came out of the contest, which was conduefed with great vigour, about as well as he expected. In his personal reverses he exhibited a magnificent spirit and concluded a speech with this dee laration® "I shall do my utmost to stamp out radicalism." Early in the struggle for national existence he became the leader of his people. It was, in a sense, a na: tural selection, 'The call came him because he had the special quali fications--the abilily, the tact, the to courage, the construct™Ne genius of the statesman. In the campaign he was the man of distinct views. He accepted the commission of Lord Gladstone to form a government and then launched the platiorm on which he proposed to rule the new confeder- acy. He stood for a safé" and honest ad- ministration of public affairs; he want- ed education in both Dutch and Eng- lish languages; he desired a national policy; one that would develop the native industrial interests and for the good of all the classes; he would ex- clude the Asiatics because of their disturbing and dégrading nature; and he would do all that in him lay to strengthen the ties that bound South Africa to Great Britain. The Unionists differed from the Nationalists largely on the educational programme. Dr. Jameson, the leader of the Unionists, advanced one lan- guage everywhere and in all business and social relations. English should be the language of the people and of the nation. He will probably remais a force in the public life of South Africa, but it is doubtful if he will gain much in power; though he will not suffer from racialism in view * of Botha"s declaration. The premier will find a seat some- where, and if he rules wisely and well, not remembering with resentment the political reverses of the present, he will give another proof that he is possessed of the character and cour- age 'and conduct of the true leader.

Better still, pass an in demnity law and let the nation as a whole support its parliament, without distinction of party or sect. That is common sense. Norman Patterson, in the Toronto Courier, thinks that some of the high schools should be made agricultural schools and others technical schools. The Whig's idea exactly. How did dif ferent writers in different places, hit the same wubject aud reach the sine conclusions at the same time? It's more than a coincidence. The superintendent of schools in New York demands that poetry and mathe- matical puzzies be abandoned in the public schools. But what about the education department ? It has an ai- fection or failing for the puzzles, and its examiners plucked some of the most promising candidates on them in the entrance examination. The more shame for it, Dr. Strayer, in the Homiletic Review (New York), says the churches can never be made attractive to the work- ingmen so long as the gospel of peace is preached indifferently and without connection with the gospel of labour. He does mot believe that the labour classes would leave the church if the preachers discussed fairly and intelli gently the issues of the day. . The Man. oe : On Watch. 4 Evangelistic meetings have been tak- ing place in one of the churches this week. The Lampman was present . at one of the sessions fo see what Kind of people attended, amd those who occupied pews were just the ones [he axpected would be thee. Those who should have been there were not, and, therefore, he cannot see that the meet- ings were of much value from the evangelistic point of view. Some re ligious imstruction was imparted, but he ventured to say that nothing new was presented to the goodly few who who were there. It's the young men and the young women that evangelis- tic work should reel. * How many ole in Kingston ask a blessing wha they sit down in their homes to eat? the Lawuman has of- ten asked. He thinks the proportion lessens every year. He was brought up to hear a blessing at every meal, and is of the opinion that the victuals tasted the better for the blessing in- voked. Perhaps at a lot of boarding bouses, those away from home do not think the food is worth blessing, but it, too, might taste better for 4 blessing over jt. At a first-class out. of-town hotel recently, the Lamp- man's attention was drawn to an old lady, who, when she sat down to her place at table, bowed het head to in- voke a quiet blessing. She had been accustomed to do so from 'vouth, and even in the crowded hotel dining room she did not forget. & @ The Lampman has frequently seen poor women come out of whiskey stores in thé down town section with their little jug, when they should have spent the money to betier purposes, but he learns that in a section away from down town there is a system of "rush the growler," among women, who run to a certain pluce for their pail of beer. When their husbands have gone to work, and the early morning duties ave perf , Some women get together and gossip over the beer mug. Sometimes, there are little rows when the drink begins to work. How- ever, sast-end women think they have just as much riltht to have their little morning gatherings as their more sty- lish sisters have to hold their after- noon teas, or the bride parties with cock tdil appetizers. Lampman thinks, however, that it would be bet- ter to put the temptation as far as possible from the women, by elimin- ago, that be had come to the vonela- sion that the 'stores were doing more harm in Kingston than the bars, because it is in the stores that the majority of women drinkers get their + & : ; i f ff g 5 The Trades Union Congress of Eng- ~~ Nothing considered quite such good form at e impromptu meal as PATERSON'G Cambridge Wafers ® A dainty new biscuit made from cream of wheat.

Philadelphia Times. The Pittsburg express was just ing preparations for departing the North = Philadelphia station when a young man, whose appearance and mauners prodlaimed him as a youth just leaving college, dashed hurriedly on the platform of the railway sta- tion. He walked along the train, but failed to find an empty seat. He ed troubled. Suddenly a bright idea struck him. He' stalked up 6 the last car and, placiig his hands to his mouth in megaphone fashion, called out : "This car will. remain here. All passengers must change to one of the other car riages." The occupants 'muttered and growled their dissatisfaction at the unexpected order and scurried into other cars. When he saw the car empty he lighted a cigar and settled himself spaciously in a corner, While congratulating himself on his cleverness, the nervy youth was star tlad by the appearance of a head pok- ed through the window. The station: master looked in at the young man with a scowl. "Say, you're a smart aleck that told the people that the car wasn't going, aren't you? Well, the porter heard you and thought you were director, so he uncoupled the ear The train has gone." mak- from THE WHIG'S PUZZLE. What fish? Yesterday's puzzle--Plow. Can Do Either. Washington Star. Frank J. Sibley, of the prohibition national committee, recently scored an interrupter in the course of apn address in Tueson. The interrupter broke in on Mr. Sib ley's condemnation of whiskey to shout : "But it's a medicine. A strong glass of hot whiskey and water will break up a cold." "And eight strong glasses," Mr. Sib- ley retorted, "will break up a home." No Fear of Bishop Leaving.
