If Mr. McGillivary will spare the time, I will drive him through the Township of Maripasa and canvass the votes given Mr. Campbell, I think it will dispel his fears in that point. for so far as I have any knowledge, the majorivy of those who voted for him were Retorm Patrons. Surely Mr. McGillivary sees the insult he has offered to his old-time conservative friends in charging that a few men who have been reformers can so pull the wool over their eyes and manipu- late matters so as to elect whom they may desire. When the day of election comes and the ballots are counted he will find that old-time Grits and Tories alike have stood shoulder to shoulder and marked their ballots for the Patron candi- date. Yours truly. HY. GmmNNING. New York, March 10.â€"Harold Fred- eric cables from London to The Times: General Booth has returned filled with He refers to mv appointment on the dehorning commission. 1 am somewhat surprised at this, for Mr. McGiliivary has more than once expressed to me his ap- proval of the work done by the ccmmis- sion and of the personnel that composed it. He is well aware that its composition was as nearly non-political as possible. In the first place the Hon. Chas. Drury ex- minister of agriculture, was chairman (Reform. ) Dr. Andrew Smith, head ofithe veterinary profession of the Dominion (Conservative) Mr D. M. McPherson, known as the “cheese king,” the largest dairyman in Canada (Reform, now the Patron member for Glengarry.) Mr. Richard Gibson, president of the Short- horn Breeder’s association for Ontario. (Conservat ive.) Mr. J. J. Kelso. who was stenographer and secretary for the* commission, and who was secretary for the Toronto Humane society for six years (Reform,) and myself, who was master of the Deminion Grange, at that time, the mosn representative body of farmers in the Province. Permit me to state that I know nothing of my appointment on the commission untilI saw it in the news- paper. Mr McGiIlivary does not say there was anything wrong in my appoint- ment, but he refers to it for reasons best known to himself, but I assure him that it in no way affected my political belief or independence. It-is charged that I have attended the Courts of Revision in the interests of the Libertl party. Permit me to eXplain~ that I was informed by Mr. Joseph Thompson(Patron conservative) secretary of the Township of Brock Patron associ- ation, thatat ameeting held in Sunderland, at which I was not present that a reSolu- tion was passed. that Messrs. R. 0.: Brandon, Wesley Jackson(Patron conser- Vatives) with myself had been appointed a committee to attend the courts at Sunderland and Cannington, and look after the interests of the Patrons,I accor- dingly attended the court at Sunderland and succeeded in having several Patrons and Patron symp-sthizer’s names placed upon the lists, and in no case did I try, or give evidence to have any man’s name struck off, whe her Conservative, Retiring or Patron. Although neither of the other gentlemen appl inted with myself attended Sunderland court, but the next day Mr. Brandon attended the court at Canning- ton and as Ellis pollingfldivision ( h: one in which I live) was the last to be heard and the judge with Mr. McGJlivary and others had to take the train south before the whole of the appeals could be dispos ed of, Mr. McGillivary made the propo~ j sition to the court, that the remaining appeals should be left to the decision of Mr. James Glendinning and myself which the court concurred in. Permit me to state without appearing egotistical, that Mr. McGillivary paid a high compliment to Mr. James Glendinning and m) self, for his belief in our hoziesty and integrity.

Hartman, £03 perm I was away at a. camp about '25 miles from here, where there is a. family liv- ing, and I stayed with them all night. There were four little girls and two boys besides the father and mother, and grandfather. The youngest little girl was a. prety little lass and took quite fancy to me. She was about six years old. I called her my little “wife” (tor we crll all women in the Indian language wives) and asked her (0 come over and talk to me. She got up and came over and sat at my feet while I petted her a little and gave her half of a small biscuit for which she gave me a. kiss and told me that she loved me and would like to go home with me and be my little girl always, but though I should have liked to take her I could not, for you know I am all alone and have no big girl to look after me even much less a. little girl if I should get one. Now, how- ever, I must say good-bye and leave you. are not very plentiful they go for weeks at a. time with not even one-half enough to eat and so little clothing as well. Only the day before yesterday I very often think that, if you little girls who are so well 011‘ in Lindsay could only come out here for a. little while and see how really poor and piti- ful some of the little girls and boys of this country are, with hardly anything more than a few old rags for garments and a little rabbit skin jacket, and many a day nothing more to eat than [the hind leg of a rabbit, or the head‘ land tail of a small fish, while often not even that, I am sure you would thank your good Father in heaven, that you were born and lived in a. civilized part of the world, where the name of Jesus is known and loved, and where the power of His love and influence is always felt. These poor little children often have only one single blanket to pull over two or three of them when they go to sleep, for they have no beds and they just lie down on some green brush before a big fire and go to sleep, and then when the fire goes down they wake up with the cold and get up and fix it up again, and thus they spend the long winters in poverty and misery. Oftentimes when the rabbits and fish Of course you all know I am living almost entirely alone here at Hay River.

Caradian Herd Book For some time past the live stock as- sociations of the Dominion have per- sistentfy pressed on the attention of the Minister of Agriculture what they con- sider :1 gross injustice in reference to the non-recognition of Canadian herd and stud books by the United States Customs department. Tiles:- books were reconniz- ed for many years until the United States Treasury regulations of 1893 prevented such recognition, and insisted on entry in United States herd and stud books in order to obtain the admission of pedigree stock from Canada. to the United States. There never was a question of the li h standard of the Canadian stud books. 8n the contrary, registrations from them have been very freely permitted in the American books. It has, in fact, been contended that the standard of the Canadian books was higher than the American. In these circumstances the Canadian stock associations and others interested in pedigree animals made re- presentations toa committee of the House of Commons last session, asking the Minister of Agriculture to take the necessary measures to have the Can' dian. books recognized as before. The neces- sary representations were thereforel officially made through the G vernor- General on the report of the Mir ister of Agriculture. The answer {mm the United States authorities, in point of fact, constitutes a negative by 10!: directly replying to the question in Mr. Angers’ report. The consequence is that another representation has been ofi'cially made by the GoVernor-Gmerhl on the report of the Minister of Aurimllmre, endths mower to this is awaited. . ‘ ~,- _ “God made the fast horse, and it is no more a sin to ride behind a horse at a fast gait than behind a steam engine. I think it would advance all our churches if more ministers could get enthusiastic over a fast horse, and get out and hitch upa. good one and take .a driven Some of my clerical friends say they would like a fast horse, but fear the church would nut stand it. Well, I have the courage of my convictions, and I don’t think all the horse races on the track at Bradford have dune as much evil to the young and the old as Mr. Schiverea.” “Were it not for the outdoor exercise that I receive trom my horses I would scarcely be wnth you to-night, for my health is broken and my horses help materially to keep me above ground. “Ilove horses and I don’t think it a sin to drive them, The race track origi- nated in high society.

In this country some of the ablest and best men are the‘ ‘owners of fast horses. These men be: lieve the fast horse a legitimate industry. It is a matter of opinion. I think it right. Mr. Schiverea does not seem to‘ think so. Iam not the only preacher in this country who keeps o trotter. Henry Ward Beecher kept them up at Peekskill that could go better than 2.30.

I went to the race course before Mr. Schiverea came here and mean to go there after he is gone. And I shall tell you why I think it is right for any‘ ‘man who can, to own fast horses. There: is no record of a horse in hell, and if a1 man goes there behind the horse the horse must be there. But the fourth chapter of Jeremiah says the hosts of heaven own horses faster than eagles, and I wish I had one of them. (Appxause) “Elijah went up to heaven and took a good team with him. When John looked up to heaven he saw four horses. Also remember that before the throne in heaven were 200.000 horsemen. I I will call up the horse question first. If, as Mr. Schiverea remarked in this huuse, there is no quicker way to get to hell than behind the tail of a fast horse, then I am on the road and mean to stay there. “ Now that I have spoken of the churches and shown them to be good, I wan}: _to attend to the case of Mr. S hiverea. “I shall malign no church. and any who Come here to hear such had better leave the hall.

And the father said, uneasily: “Whats the use in worrying over these things. We’ve nothing to do with it.” He, too, was “being educated.” “The waste that makes my heart ache,” resumed Mrs. Merton, “is the 1,200,000,000 worse than wasted in liquor and tobacco every year; the hundred thousand men who yearly lie down in drunkards’ graves.” A lad of twelve sat: intently listen- ing. “You forgot the millions of people from all parts of the world who have educated there, my dear. They have been lived in unity side by side, teaching and learning. \Vhat beautiful pict- ures, never to be forgotten, they have carried away. Oh, no ; the millions were not wasted.” “We don’t need a. palace for legisla- tors to squabble in.” Mr. Merton ans- wered, “and the White City is in ruins, at least part of it. More than $20,- 000,000 have gone up there. It is madness.” “Not quite that,” said Mrs. Merton, quietly. “The Capitol is a. magnificent building, and the Empire state is proud of it.” “Such abominable waste! No won- der we are in such an awful state," growled Mr. Merton, puffing a cloud of tobacco smoke from his lips, as he tossed the paper on the table. Mrs. Merton looked up inquiringly. “Another appropriation for the state’s folly,” he said. “Twenty mil-h lions sunk already.” This figure was reached with triple screws and an indicated horse-power equipment of about 21,000 for 7,350 tons displacement, the dimensions of the ship being 412 feet length, 58 feet beam and 22% feet draught.
