P., had profi’ered his resignation to the association on ac- count ofhis recent vote on the Jesuit question being against his leaders, whom he had been elected to support. Mr. Barron reached the meeting shortly after its opening, having left Ottawa the evening before. His reception as he entered the hall must have removed any doubt (if any such ever existed) of his still retaining the confidence of his party. He was enthusiastically re- ceived. Always popular, his popularity seems to have been increased by the course he pursued on the question of disallowauce. He was at once asked to the platform, which he ascended amid the hand-shaking of all whom he had to pass. At the conclusion of the bus- iness of the association, Mr. Barron was called forward, but, before he began to speak, Dr. McKay, of Woodvillc, rose. and in a most effective speech of ten or fifteen minutes moved the following resolution 2â€"- That a. unanimous vote. of thanks be ten- dered Mr. J. A. Barron, our present member in the House of Commons of Canada, for the very able manner in which he has rep- resented his constituents in Parliament since his election thereto, and for his able advocacy on the floor of Parliament of a policy in emphasis of the separation of Church and State. The doctor, himself an earnest and " forcible speaker, was loudly applauded as he handed the resolution to the chair- man Mr. Dickson, who for years has been the president and chief officer of the Reform party in the riding, at. once put the motion, which was carried with great applause, every man rising to his feet. Mr. Barron was visibly affected at the enthusiasm shown. Had he had any doubt as to his retention of the’ confidence of his friends. that doubt Joust-have been at once remOvcd.

He spoke of the studied policy of “ do nothng " on subject of the Trent Valley Canal, and after speaking for about. three-quarters of an hour resumed his seat amid much applause.

Local election, after which Mr. J. E. Gould led oil in singing “ God Save the Queen," in which the large gathering joined hear- tily, and a most successful annual meet- ing ended. An Awful Warning. The sudden and violent. death of the Fenelon Falls It’cconl, less than nine months after its birth, probably sur- prised as well as disappointed some of its fev supporters ; but the majority of them feared, and we and everybody competent; to judge knew, that. its col- lapse was only a question oftime, and of no great length of time either. l‘lvcn bad it been started under more favour- able circumstanccs than it was, and been more ably conducted, its fate would have been the. same, though it might possibly have lived a few months longer. A day or two after its demise one of its'cliagrined mourners told us that he had been informed that Sam Hughes, of the ll’urdcr, intended to start a branch office in li‘enelon Falls, which statement we took for what. it. was worth. Bro. Hughes is no foolâ€"- or, if he be, he is a fool of more than ordinary intelligence-and is not likely to undertake the desperate and hopeless enterprise of bucking .gainst the Gaâ€" zctfc. There is no possibility of two newspapers existing in a village the size of this, and wherever, to our knowl- edge, an attempt has been made to es. tablish a second, it has resulted in dis- astrous and ignominious failure. Of course, if the proprietor of the old pa- per be in financial difficulties and un- popular, and the proprietor of the new one have capital and brains, the latter may drive the former from the field; but it is quite impossible for two to make a living in a village of ten or fif- teen hundred inhabitants. As to Bro. Sam’s finances we know nothing; he may or may not be able to indulge in the luxury of a branch establishment here or elsewhere ; but we took stock of his brains long ago, andâ€"as he proba- bly suspectsâ€"care no more for him than he cares for the religious aspect of any sauguinary thing. The rumor that he intended to set upa successor to tho Record very likely arose from the fact that he came to look at the plant, with the intention, no doubt, of buying the type, if he could get it cheap enough, and putting it into his office at Lindsay, where some new material wouldn't come amiss. If those who, a few mouths ago, expressed the opinion that the Record would badly injure the Guzrtlc. belieVed what they said, it shovrs how little they knew about the matter. The Guzctlc did a better business in every way in 1888 than it did in 1887, although the Record office was ready for jobwork in April last and the first number of the paper was issued early in July. When the crash came it 0\Vcd nearly a year's rent; it had not paid its taxes ; it was in debt to its senior, if not to its junior, “ devil ”; it had a balance against it in the books of almost every merchant who patronized it; and scores oi'subscribers have lust more or less of the dollars they paid in advance. In short, if the lucklcss “ publisher ” could have lived on air and clothed himself with the same material, the gross receipts of the "ms “‘llh (MECle M if“ his "0100: 30 business would not have paid more than l half the ruunin" ,, expenses. This in an awful warning to all who are conceited enough to believe that they can pasture a second newspaper in a field that will barely afford grass enOUgh for one. A good many years must elapse before l’euclou Falls will be large enough for two, and merchants and others who have long bad business relations with the Guzcuc, and have received satisfac. tory treatment, will not desert it simply i showedhow the effect was to provoke, because some newcomer would like w used by such well known horsemen as i retaliation by the Americans increasing l have their pmwnaue ,, .
