When the measure was before council and a member objected to such a radical piece ot legislation, he was assured that it would be judiciously applied and would simply be a means of gathering in scorchers and those who are a peril to the public safetf The opposite has been done.

Britain’s quarrel with the Boers ~ 1:1:qu that. has led to considerab e activity in It is well that the Empire should be one and that that oneness should be especially demonstrated when danger threatens, but it does appear as though the present excitement is out of all proportion to the necessities of the hour. The prospective war is with a people so feeble in comparison with Britain as to make it ridiculous if it were not so pathetic. It has not broken out. To anyone guided by the general aspect of the case instead of by ambitious press reports it has never seemed probable that it would break out. It is said that the offer of troops from the colonies wole illustrate to the world the unity of the Empire, but War with the Boers at present would be of neither a magnitude nor motive that ‘~'-uuld commend itself to our en- thusiasm. They are a hardy, brave but numerECally weak people. They are the sons of the men who taught Europe its first lessons in liberty. Pioneers in South Africa they have mm, men driven from. their home- steads and with characteristic perse- verance and resourcefulness have found themselves a new country. British bullets were not made to kill such men without good cause. Such a cause does not exist. The real quarrel is over Britain’s demand that the Boers shall giv; Englishmen the franchise after five years residence Without re. nouncing their allegiance to Eng land. No civilized nation will allow aliens to vote,and Great Britain cannot lay such necessity on the Boers without disgrace. The English people will not pander to Chamberlain’s lust for ofice no: Rhodes’ conscience‘ess scheming for territory, to the point of making war upon the Boers. We trust the Canadian people will not inflame them- selves with military ardor before there i is need. English military circles and acco ding to many accounts all the preparations will soon be required in a stern struggle with the Transvaal Dutchmen. The prospect of this war has strangely stirred the colonies. It is a long time since there has been so much talk of putting Canadian troops under fire for the Motherland as there is to-day. From private individuals, militia offi- cers, and newspapers there come rous- ing calls {or volunteers in Britain’s war. The unity of the Empire is being re. afiirmed with mighty emphasis these days and it is probable that if it comes to conflict, side by side with the Eng- lish regiments there will go marching on the sturdy soldiers of the colonies. it is pOS'ible that such an ado about a trifle wit] convey some my different ideas to the world.

Tm: UPSET of Williamson Bros’ butcher cart on Monday night when making a corner at too great speed ought to be a much-needed warning to the fraternity of drivers. The butcher carts in too many instances are manned by drivers that don’t know how to use any part of the outfit but the whip. FROM THE STANDPLINT ofthe mili- tary man, Col. Sam Hughes has cer- tainly scored in offering to lead‘a body of Canadian troops in the Transvaal. He was the first to suggest the principle The Call to Arms. Editorial Notes ‘isposition an â€"Sunday’s services at the Cambridge-st. Methodist church were phenomenal. This has special reference to their financial aspect. It was the day of the great Twentieth Century Fund contribution in Methodism. A million dollars was the sum which that great body expected to have offered by its membership. If all churches did as well as the one mentioned, the thing. though colossal, is practically done. The pastor preached powerful sermons morning and evening. Mr. Ambrose Rent, a prominent layman of Toronto. addressed the Sunday school in the afternoon, and the total givings amounted to $2,450. Of this sum the child- ren gave nearly $900. The entire amount expected was $3000, so that only a com- paratively small balance remains to be raised within the next year. Reports from other places show that the Twentieth Con tury Million Dollar Fund has proved a success and the greatest financial feat of Methodism ..... Miss A.

MESSRS.‘ WILSON- AND WILSON, barristers of Napanee and counsel for Robert Mackie, who is serving a ten. year sentence for complicity in' the famous Napanee bank robbery, are making an effort 'to have the term shortened. There seems to be every reason why they ought to he success- ful. Since Pare and Holden have been given only three and four years each: although confessedly guilty, while Roach’though admittedly an accomplice is out on suspended sentence, it is manifestly unjust that Mackie should have to put in ten years, and the more so since the evidence against him was so weak that the jury accompanied their verdict with a recommendation to mercy. Petitions that are being circu- lated should be largely signed. A. VS . Parkin, sang “ Dream of Paradise ” after the evening service.

Teeth extracted without pain. The Collegiate Institute Lecmre Course. "We are advertised by our loving friends," reads a well known sentence. This applies to towns as well as commer~ cial concerns, and is certainly true of Lindsay. Far and Wide Lindsay's name has been carried in recent years through the prowess of her victorious curlers and the high position of her Collegiate Insti- tute. Scholarships at the l'niversity, con- tinucd success in all her class room work, the great re-union last Christmas, have been factors at work in spreading the fame of her schools. To be added to these as not the least factor. is the Lecture Course. Begun two years ago, the Lecture Course has been exceedingly successful. Cabinet ministers, University professors and other distinguished men have freely given their services, and the citizens of the town and county have had unusual privileges of coming into contact with the leading pub- lic men of Canada. The Lecture Course was inaugurated under the auspices of the Literary Society and the Athletic Association of the Collegiate Institute. This year, however, the committee has been strengthened by the addition of Messrs. J. D. Flavelle, Alex. Jackson and Dr. Wood. representing respectively the Board of Education, the Town Council and the County Council, so that this year the distinguished lecturers have been invited by the Collegiate Institute, the Board of Education, the Town Council and the County Council, thus making the Lecture Course a town and county institution. It is apleasure to be able to announce that four distinguished public men are to lec- ture this year. The first lecture will be by Sir Charles Tunper, Bart., the date to be announced shortly. He is to be followed by Sir John Bourinot. C.M.G., the learned clerk of the House at Commons; by Mr. J. H. N. Bourassa, M.P.. one of the most brilliant French Canadians in parliament, and by Hon. David Mills, Q.C., M.P., min- ister of justice. Sir John Bourinot is to lecture on “Ca'nada‘s obligation to the (LE. Loyalists." Mr. Bourassa's subjectis “ The Contributions of the FrenchEoglish races to the making of Canada." Other subjects and the dates will be made public very shortly.

We notice in the Family Herald and Weekly Star this week, that the publishers of that great paper are this season giving all subscribers, new and renewal, no less than two beautiful pictures, instead of one. The pictures represent “War” and “Peace.” They are the famous battle picture “Alma” in colours, and a sweetly pretty picture entitled “Pussy Willows.” To think of such an offer makes one wonder how it can be done.
