The New York Herald regards as Pecosniffian the horror expressed by some people and papers because Prosi- dent Taft has announced that he will recognize the insurgent republicans, who have been endorsed by the people; and restore them the patronage. ' The insurrection in the party owes its origin or existence to the quarrel over the spoils. The machine has been most careful to look alter its friends when the appropriations were passed. These appropriations became enormous as the estimates of needy states and constituencies were handed in. There came a time when some staunch republicans could not endure the Cannon programme. They suffered Of Herpieide is in Giving it Thor. ough Trial. There is only one test by which wdge of the efficiency of any and that which it i t n dandy and stop falling o, they do not, but hair ?

The punishment continued until the insurgents showed that the people were behind them. Then the patronage {was restored. : The New York Herald does not ses anything' remarkable in that. "Every president," it remarks, "has used pa- tronage. No secret. has been made of it. It is inevitable in party govern- ment. Even yesterday the greatest talker for purity in politics was the most grateful recipient of its advan- tages, city, state and natiomal, in his efforts to become temporary chairman of the republican convention in this state. The publicity given by the pre- widént to his views would seem fo only indicate to the fair-minded that there is at least one man in public life who is not a hypocrite." The spoils system, then, has not lost its power in the United States. Ao cording to the Herald's ethics, there is no harm in.patronage when the use of it for political ends is candidly con- ANOTHER UNSAVOURY MESS. The scandal was bad enough which drove two members of the New York legislature into retivement some what may follow the lifting of the lid by a new commission. This was ap: pointed at the last meeting of the as- sembly. It was a concession to popu- lar opinion, to the demand of the press that the searchlight be turned on a number of suspicious circumstances. And the bad is coming out. The evi dence of one day is indicative of pre- revelations which may follow, Mr. Vreoland, president of the Metropolitdn Securities company, and of the Metro- politan Street Railway company, ad- mitted on the stand that he had, in 1902 and 1904, contributed $42,500 for political purposes. Of this sum $25, 000 had gone to the republicans and $17,500 to the democrats. Why the what the board of education should do under the circumstances, but the board is disposed to exclude the county pu- pils and force a solution of the pro- blem by immediate action. The convenience of many persons has been met by the arrangement which permits of the attendance of county pupils at our schools, At the institute alone there are sixty-six non-residents registered, and they pay fees which to- tal over $1,700 per annum. To drop this sum means a loss in the sehool board's receipts. But consideration must be had for the demand of the education department, and to the eof- fect that with the classes crowded as they now are there must be two more teachers and four more rooms. The teachers (assistants) cavnot be had for jess than $1,200 a year, to begin with, and the building cannot be put up and equipped for less than $25,000, with an annual fixed charge for majn- tenance and care. The trustees may be ever so willing to oblige the county people by con- tinuing the present arrangement, but how can it do this? It cannot go to the council for a large present grant of money, for building purposes, and for a permanent addition to the an- nual expenses, in the imterest of the county pupils, and without the crowd- ing caused by them the present stafl and accommodation will be sufficient and the institute can be approved. The situation is a serious one, and it is mot going to be relieved without some very earnest planning. EDITORIAL NOTES. It pays to be a teacher nowadays. The profession is certainly looking up. If all the non-resident pupils of the institute have" to go to the county high school at. Sydenham it "will be crowded. But to Sydenham they ought to go. Belleville has appointed a deputation which will visit other places and in- spect the streets. It should come to Kingston and See our Princess street. It is the special pride of the city coun- cil, The county pupils at the institute pay very little more than the city pupils, and less than a dozen of them remain in the eity over night or board in it. So they do not repre sent a very profitable investment. Three cities of the west have adopted the Henry George idea of taxing Jand values only. . When the Ottawa mem- ber in the legislature essayed to cham- pion an act giving the cities of On- tatle an opportunity to tax land vel ues, he was, metaphorically, sat upon by Sir James Whitney. A Greek poet is passing through Canada and making his countrymen weep as he points to the decadence of their national pride. He is raising money for the Grecian navy, and in Montreal received $10,000. He pledged the Greeks to return to their country and fight for it if necessary. He's a wonderful orator. A contemporary wants to kiow who should look after the boulevards. The answer is that they belong to the city, but the idea in putting the side walks out in' the streets was to give the people a little green sward of which they were expected to be proud. The people have disappointed the coun- cil. LAURIER NAMED TOWN WHICH 1S IN ONTARIO. And Now Permission Will Have to be Received For it to Keep its Name w--Ontario Government Rule. Toronto, Sept. 21.--An interesting fittle tangle has arisen out of the nam- ing of the new town of Graham by Sir Wilfrid Laurier in the course of his recent western tour. The place is not far from Superior Junction and was ormerly known as Sault Lookout. The railway ny christened it Graham, and Sic Wilfrid Laurier rati- fied the name ou the occasion of his visit. It turns out now that he had no authority to do so, as the town ® in Ontario, and, therefore, the Whitney government alone has the right to ra- tify the name. The dominion govern- ment will now have to ask Ontario's permission to enable the town .to keep he name bestowed upon it by the premier. Should Ontario refuse, which is, of course, most unlikely, the rail- way company would have to move its station outside the boundaries of the town, provided [it desired to keep the name given the town by it.

The solid front, the unbroken ranks, the united purpose, the one church, of Catholicism is the point that strikes us as the most wonderful and most striking object of the whole congress. It never struck us before just what a solid and united = Catholic church meant, either in religion or polities or world-wide influence. There is no de nying the fact that the Catholic church is'a great power, mot only in this country, but in all other countries. The secret of their power is their unity. When they want anything they go al- ter it and they generally get it, if not the first time then the second or third time. They use their united power to make the pressure. We do not blame them. They simply show their good sense and good management, while we as Protestants come up with our lit- tle companies of sects, denominations and creeds, each one so small com- paratively, that we have no weight as compared with the heavy battalions of the Catholic. church. Homestly now, aren't we Protestants a lot of fools? Our little petty differences in form and minor points. of doctrine, do mot amount to anything. We are all agreed on the essential points, why shouldn't we unite in one grand Pro- testant church, present a solid front and wield the influence in the world which our numbers, intelligence, wealth and principles ontitle us to? I has got to come to this some day, or the Catholics will trim us to a finish. We believe the present union of the Meth- odist, Presbyterian and Congregation alists in Canada is but the beginning of a world-wide union of Protestants and as we see things, the sooner it comes the better it will be for Fro- testantism.

An English visitor to Canada who is deeply .interested in imperial sub- jects, is presently engaged in endea- voring to arrange for the visit to (he old country, prior to the next general election, of a group of young Canadian public men, who will discuss on the platform the various phases of the imperial relation, as seen from the standpoint of Canadians, The gentleman in Question is no doubt sincere in his belief that the flood of Canadian oratory will make for the growth of sound imperialism. He is a tariff reformer, and probably is convinced that that policy makes for closer relations of Britain and the over-seas dominions. That an exposi- tion of Canada's demand for a trade preference in the British markets would influence British opinion is doubtless true, but where will he find a group of Canadian speakers of abil ity who will'go to England and pub- licly demand a trade preference as the price of this country's lofalty ? One other difficulty stands like a lion «in the path: These Canadian speakers would inevitably become merely knots in the tail of the conser- vative kite, That would surely not make for imperial unity, and it would just as certainly provoke a demand rom the liberal rank and file that the Canadians go home and mind their own business.
