Where are our Tennyson's. Brown- ings, and Longrcnows ? We have no Shakespear, Milton, Dante or Byron. Men have neither taste nor time for poetry; and so there is no English poet Ito~dny whcsc poems will pay the cost of publication. Where are our Knots and Carlyles in philosophy? They may exist but they are not heard. It Carlyle who wrote so magnificently, should toâ€" day write all his works there is no ,man who would give up studying the latest stock quotations long en. ough to read them. The Edisons. Marconis and Bella are the heroes of toâ€"day, for thw bring things that help to make money and help com- memo and physical convenience. What care we for courtesy, kindness self-sacrifice, justice and moral hero-:1 jam? . I the bigger salary, and the results of that research are not boldly set forth as by Huxley and Darwin. Our scientists fumble stones and fauna, but are not courageous because it does not pay. The university professors pander to the wealth by which good posi- tions are opened. Scientific investi- gation is carried on with ‘an eye on There is a great question looming up that must be handled man-fash- ion. It is how Canada shall reply to those who taunt her with not paying anything to Imperial de- ‘fence. Shall she say she will pay ‘her share and accept representation in the British parliament, and part in European aflairs, or decline to be mixed up in the old-world system ? Toâ€"day no man will speak out, but some hint at one answer and some at the other. Canadian public men are as cap- able and honest as any in the world; yet they hold their positions by the opposite of moral courage. A bold courageous man would have no chance as a premier or party leader. These must not stand up and point out what ought to be done in any given case, but judiciously conceal their views, if they happen to be hampered with ideas at all. Tarte was bold; he was also bowled out. Plain-speaking must be on old worn party policies, but before new and dangerous quwtions menhide‘ behind the fence; for these must be “well consider " you know. I know what I am talking about when I say that there was no man \of front rank in Canadian politics 1who did not believe that to make a law prohibiting the liquor“ traffic would result in national disaster and anarchy. Yet not one of them would say so, but had recourse to a royal commission, a plebiscite and a referendum, whereas if they had hold- 1y said that prohibition would be un- wise and improper they would have escaped the dilhcultiw and pitfalls of that agitation, and preserved their self-respect and the respect of the people. Our public men have not been moral heroes, but time-servers, trimmers and tame judicious men. I do not deny that. the pulpit is bold'in the abstract, but it will not denounce the sins of its pews. The Sunday morning sermon is designed to please the comfortable wellâ€"to-do people who hear it. The average church congregation would be 'ltaggered by the “Sell whet thou hast and give to the poor" of Christianity's founder. Church people are the ”salt of the earth,” but by them the worldli- ness and self-seeking of the age ex- ist. - i “The predominating element in these times," said Mr. Longley, “is materialismâ€"the absolute and besotâ€" ting love and quest of property. Along with this has come the decay of moral courage. These two char- acteristics of this age are chief caus- es for alarm. Church, state. educa- tion and literature are all tinged and more or [we controlled by them. The above sentence is Hon. J. W.

I do not mean the beating of tomtoms or re- ligious fury, but character will yet be given the front rank and the things of the spirit be esteemed of greater worth. Canada will soon‘ be a great nation. It has been said that the 19th century was the een-i tury of the United States, and that the 20th will be Canada's. lhope it is no dream of mine that Canada's ideals will be higher than dollars and trade. is not in her bayonets and hired defenders. but in the moral fibre of her citizens. One hero is worth a million, who in a crisis look around to see how the cat jumps. Zola was a hero amid the mobs of Paris when he defended Dreyfus. Goldwin Smith is a man who writes fearless- ly; his writings are not popular; but he cares not for applause or ‘criticism of less worthy men.‘ PARTY POLITICS The tyranny of party politics is‘ another influence before which men cringe. 1t wo’uld be a. good thing if in every one of the 213 Canadian: constituencies there were 100 menl who voted indefinitely and. intelli- gently at every election. It would and some of the difficulties now con- fronting us. Spain to war without a shadow of justifiable reason; but not a pulpit denounced the deed nor called the people to peace, but. rather incited men to take part in the war.

So the lumber busi'mss keeps lively, and we don’t know just when the last of the stuff that is up there will be got out. At all events we never saw a busier winter than this. Men are scarce and wages high. That make it all the better for the north country." GOVERNMENT MONEY “A little government money has been spent on our roads, ,but very little : for we send the wrong sort of memtmr to the legislature.

I Was on a deputation that waited on the government and asked for money. It “as promised. but we never got it.

Mr. Graham said that Mr. Thos; Dink, lowly of Lindsay, has lam: Then we are getting better facili- ties for wintering our cattle than we used to have. Stubling is being provided; we are growing more roots. and the beaver hay when properly saved makes good fodder. There is no limit to that, We draw it as far as six miles in winter from the stacks in which it has'bocn put. up in summer. I would rater have it for cattle, than timothy. Butter and cheese pay us well; there are better {militia for making and ship- ping them and better prices than formerly." “Is lumbering about done ?" was asked. pasture. We could feed a great xhultitude of cattle from the south out there every1 summer.

Now, hoWever, we have mixed armitg; stock-raising and dairying one big industries. They pay well, and we are getting along better. The north is a capital grazing country. Cattle turned out to the ‘woodo.’ as well call it, do better in summer than they would on pasture lands around Lindsay; for there is abundance of first-class timothy and clover hay up to your knees away in the wilds. When the country was lumbered over the horse feed seeded it down well at different points, and ainoethaxt'henreuofgood grasshas been steadily increasing.
