Editorial Notes. 7 THE question as to how far secular journals should interfere with church services, whether held on Sundaystor week days, arises from the attacks lately made by the Vivian}: Wam’er on the Presbyterian and Methodistbodiesof this town, in connection with the so- called “ political” temperance meetings on “Sundays. 'All questions affecting the material interests of‘the community, and all matters affecting the moral well- being of the same come within the range of pol1tics. Who; shall: say; whether measures affecting the public" interests, especially those which aim at the correction of mo :11 and social evils shall be discussed from the pulpit Or the church platfotm. or not? We pre- sume it is safe to say that these are matters which are the business of the congregations concerned, and nobody else’s. The (minions expressed upon questions of general public interest, whether emanating from the pulpit and its surroundings, or from the public platform, are legitimate subjects for discussion by the press and by the communitv.

The” case of the N. W. 'lerritories at the time of the passage of the Act of 1187 5 113213 entirely different. The district was-inhabited almost ex- clusively by the Cree Indians, and the whole machinery of local government: had to be developed. It was contended and justly atithe time that in the matter of a dual language and a Seperate school system such should be left ex- clusively to the voluntary action ofthe future province. A111ongst those who contended for this phase of provincial 1 rights was the late Hon. George Brown. The amendment of Mr. McCarthy practically and simply asks that the Dominion Parliament remove the dis ability imposed upon the N. W. T. by the Act of 1875, that the question ofa dual language may be left to the new province to be settled by itself.

The only trouble necessary is to spy out one or two cases and make them examples to enforce the intervention of the license officials and Division Court bailiffs of whom Mr. Mowat‘, is the mere creature a: a minister. The Mail :â€"Conservative papers are denouncing Mr. Mowat for the dilator- iness displayed by the Legislature in settling down to work, while their Liberal l contemporaries are paying similar attenu‘ tions to Sir John for a like reason. It would be absurd to expect either the Commonsor the Legislature to plunge into hard work immediately upon assem- bling, for there is a certain amount of dragging routine to be gone through be- fore the actual business of legislation can begin. Still, it cannot be denied that legislators are scaroely as active and as pushing in attending,r to the ail'airs of their country as they usually are in conducting their own private business. As a rule the Governments are to blame for this. 7'11.» Slnr:*Soeialism is in the air of Germany. and. the young Emperor has not escaped the contagion of his surround- ings. though. perhaps. he Would he tne l'LSC to acknowledge it.

The report was issued here tuâ€"dny. and while it does not reenm- mend a r ulical change, it shows that the resultsmf wide-spread experiments have est tlplished that two-rowml barley can be successfully raised in Canada. The im portance of this matter is derived from the fact that hitherto Canada has grown almost exclusively. six-rowed barley for the purpose of supplying the United States market. It. has been found that the Americans are now using largely their earn barley, and that there is danger of the entire demand ceasing. This has led the Canadians to 100k abroad for other markets. The barley we now grow isun- fitted for the British market because the brewers use the two-rowed. It is impos- sible to mix the two varieties, as in the eeurse of brewing th'e six-rowed barley germinates faster than the two-rowed barley. Besides this, the tWo-rowed gram yields thirteen per cent more extract than the other variety. Hence the preference for it is Well founded.
