One of the features of the Pres- byterian Assembly, and none tlie less welcome although belated, was. the greeting of the Mayor and Council of the city, The explanation of the Moderator bears out the explanation of the Mayor, at.a Council meeting, and to the effect that the presence and importance of the Assembly vere not forgotten, that the Moder- ator was asked to name a time for the presentation of a civic address, and had unfortunately lost sight of the fact. Those who thought, there- fore, that one of the largest reli- glous bodies in Canada had been overlooked will be glad to note that the city has appreciated the work of the commissioners. The visitors, most of whom Have already left for home, will also carry with them the words that expressed the sentiments of our public men. Into the Past week, and the long sessions of each day, the Assembly cempitted a lot of serious service. "All of the wbusi- hess Was worthy of the considera- tion which it received, and some of it evoked discussions of the liveliest description. At all times there was a recognition of the amenities of de- bate and in this respect the As- sembly was a model of its kind. ------------------ The facts as 'they come to hand picture Capt. Richardson, of Kings- ton, as a born leader of men. He is absolutely fearless in war. In two battles his clothes were riddled with bullets which shows that he was in the thick of the fight, - TEARING UP THE RECORDS. The report from Winnipeg, and covering the evidence of Sir Rod- mond Roblin before the Royal Com- mission, touching his part in the Parliamentary Buildings scandal, is surprising. He tells the Commis- sion that he knew nothing of the contracts, or the details in connect- jon with them, that like the other Ministers le left these things en- tirely to the responsible officials, and that he was not even suspicious of wrong doing until after the leg- islature had ended its last session. One wonders what responsible Min- isters are for, if not to enquire in- to all the public expenditures and satisfy themselves that they are properly made, It was never intended that the heads of departments should sign whatever papers are laid béfore them; and involving the use or waste of hundreds of thousands of dollars, without asking and know- ing what they meant.

Probably everybody knows that there is just a little bit 4pt friction among the conveners "Of certain! great committees, « Hew could it otherwise be? A husky youth like the Presbyterian Church, is having his "growing pains." he will get over them like _ other slight ailments. His new suits of clothes don't just fit him. Some- times he wants to ride .in an air- ship when walking is the safest go- ing. Then there gets into his head the idea of going to war, and such! people usually can provoke a fight nearer home than France. Friction! No It is only the fire and force of a youth generating power, The General Assembly welcomed His Worship, Mayor Sutherland and; members of the City*Counecil. They did not bring the gold lace and cocked 'hats with them, as they had, no doubt, seen some of ;distinguish-; ed D.D.'s as frightened of "the cloth" as a minister priest of an orange ribbon. Why shewi® the Mayor, therefore, be bothered about regalia when the "elect of the Kirk" prefer to: dress like ordinary mor- | tals?

JUSTICE MACLENNAN Sorrow was felt at Queen's Uni versity on Wednesday - afternoon when it was-learned that Hon. James Maclennan, retired judge of tre Supreme Court of Ontario had dd at his residence, 10 Murray street, Toronto. . The late Justice Maclennan was Lorn at Lancaster in 1833, and af- ler a course at the Williamstown Grammar School and Queen's Uni versity, he was called to the bar .n 1#57. For many years he Ws pact- rer of the late Sir Oliver Mowat For part of 1874 and 1875 he was Liberal member of the House >i Commons for North Victoria. In 1205 he was appointed to the Hap- treme Court of Ontario and retired the depression of a great war. This Order has to its credit a long and | honorable record. It has passed | through experiences peculiarly its | own, and experiences peculiarly its | value of the obligations to which it| is committed. Oddfellowship is one of the insti-| tutions which has survived the sev- erest tests. It had made great strides after its transplantation in- to America when the war of 1861 broke out, and inh the following five years showed that it was devoted to the purposes for which it had an existence. It carried out more than its obligations. It was expectéd to lead in its charities and was equal to all the calls that were made up- on it. It did more than this. Waan suffering generally prevailed; woen widows and orphans were to be soon on every hand, as the result of inc war; when the sick and maimed and invalided numbered many thousands; when every fount of be- nevolence was taxed to the utmost, the lodges of the Independent Order of Oddfellows stood and maintained thei rsplendid work to the limit of their resources, ' A similar test may not come to the Order in Canada, in connection with the present war, and it may. For the contingencies of the hour, whatever they are, the Order will make every provision. This is a position that is most wor- thy of its record and reputation. EDITORIAL NOTES. The Utilities Commission should do more than give evidence of low- er power rates. It should have the city thoroughly canvassed for more consumers. The larger the use of power the lower the rates. The Canadian Government should press for all the British and French and Russian contracts possible. Why should American contractors or middlemen grow fat upon the manipulation of their contracts to the great disadvantage of Canada? A German writes predicts an in- vasion of Britain by troops, not Zeppelins, the latter subjugation of the conquered territory among the members of the Triple Alliance.
