Mr. Siftun's resignation: from the Cabinet was quite a shock tothe Party and a strong indication of the danger that confronts the co-crcionists. is the opinion of “SaturdayNight,” who sees the beginning now of calamity in the. Liberal Party, just as similar efforts at coâ€"ercion put the Conservatives out at power in 1896. The same paper goes on to say “The people of this country do not want Separate Schools; they will not tolerate a state church; and they will not endorse as flagrant a beach of faith as has ever been 00111.- ‘tted by apnhlic manâ€"yet these are things which the Laurier Government aha Parliament to approve.

Cowham, of Jackson, Mich, who was formerly President of the company, wrote a letter to the shareholders advising them that owing to pressure or business in the United States he was unable to further act on the board. Mr. F. H. Whitten, of Hamilton, could not act this year, and it was greatly regretted by his coâ€"directors and the shareholders. The ordinary citizen is often a puzzle. He’s with you every time when the 2 other fellow isn’t round, and when ! you're not there, he’s with the other :fellow. Let all three get in a bunch, f and you don’t know just where he is. .‘ \Vhat a lot of people there are who i have no minds of their own, who are i so constituted that they growl around ,‘ the street corners like bears with sore i heads, and as soon as they see the oh- 3 ject they’re growling about, drop off into a trance like a baby loaded with? b’soothing syrup.

The annual meeting of the National Portland Cement Company, Limited, of Durham, Ontario, was held in the Temple Building, February 28th, and public utility, thcp must submit to fair public criticism, and theinstitution that can’t do that gives reason for suspicious of dishonesty. The foregoing is the opinion of a lman who is fearless in what he says. and evidently understands what he’s talking about. Why shoulda country like Canada, made of mixed nationali- ‘ ties, and mixed creeds, have any one I denomination singled out to get sup- .port from the state. Carry this idea i out to its logical con} W, and every lseparate and distz lenomination : will be entitled to .arian institu- Ttipfis’and state Juniort. What we :Want is a broad National System of fEducation. 3 big enough and broad genough for all classes, free from all greligious teaching, and non-sectarian ! in the highest sense. Splitting up the country into denominational schools lwill destroy the whole fabric of our lEduc-ational system and weaken its ’ influence. Beyond this, it seems only ffair that sectarian schools should be 1' kept up by those who want them and 2 independent of state aid. The Mount. Forest Confederate says: “It is reported that Mr. Gamey will deal with some obscure points in con- nection with his case, when the House meets. \Ve wonder if he will really tell where the money came from, or will he refer to missing leaves, or his reasons for altering the deposit slip?” One would think the Confederate had sense enough to let Gamey alone. Whether or not “The Man from Mani- toulin" will tell anything about what worries the Confed. man, we do not know. It might be easier to tell where some of Whitney’s supporters came from, why some of the Grits are missing, and Ontario’s reason for alteringtheold government. Gainey’s story is believed in the main by a big majority of Ontario electors, and it is high time the Confed. man should ; realize his influence, no matter where the money came from. Seperate School: were held in ”ii quite as high as thet in which they are . held toâ€"day. The fate which overtook Sir Charles Topper in 18% is the fate that awaits Sir Wilfrid Laurier and his supporters. if the oflensive provis- ion of Separate Schools contained in the Autonomy Bill now before Parlia- ment is persistently supported by the government. The only difference be- tween the unsucceslful attempt at co- en-iun made by Sir Charles Tapper. and that now being made by Sir \Vil- fwd Laurier, is that the present effort is more bold. otl’ensive, and far reach- ing than the former. JUST ABRIVED.â€"A car load of Windsor Salt at Geo. Lawrence’s.â€"tf As there are plenty of Mushrooms growing round Meaford in their pro- per season the following signs by which they may be distinguished may be interesting to those who would like to gather the fungus but who studiously refrain from doing so through fear of making a mistake. The article is taken from the ”Flaneur” in the Mail and Empire and was forwarded to that paper in response to the request of a corres pondent : Being a mushroom fiend myself. having been educated to the hunting and selecting of the edible fungus from the poisonous. by my dear uncle, as a lad. and having ac- quired a taste for the same. (for as you are probobly aware, you must cultivate a taste for them to properly appreciate them as a relish). I readily reapond to to the solicitation of your esteemed correspondent, “M. E. W..” Toronto. Without any lengthy dissertation on the subject. there are some two hundred varieties of mush-i rooms. And there are three infalli I able signs to distinguish mushrooms. I First. anything that will peel with-1 out breaking in little chunks is a . mushroom; second. there is a ring ou ;the stem of every real mushroom, and as the mushroom grows larger than ring wlll extend farther down] the stem ; third. you can always tell by the smell. A real mushroom smells edible. while the poisonous fungus smells revolting. The most common varieties of mushrooms are the pasture mushroom, the field mushroom. the sawdust mushroom. and me morella. The pasture mush- room is always pinlt; the field mush- room, white, and will not peel so readily; the sawdust mushroom is very brown on top and grows as large as a common saucer; while the morella is spongy and cone shaped, growing exclusively in sand soila bout pine or oak.-Meaford Mirror. The subject of the above sketch was a brother of Mr. James Brown. Mrs. James Moore. and Mrs. Wm. Watson of this place, all of whom were in attendance at the funeral. Deceased leaves a widow, six sons and two daughters, besides a number at grandchildren to mourn his loss, and the Sentinel desires to convey to the surviving relatives an eXpression of its deep sympathy with them, in this. their hour of sorrow. Thomas Brown was one of those early piano eers of the Orange order. whose af- fection for the institution never faltersd, but temained strong and Steadfast to the end of his days, and we are pleased to note that his more immediate relatives, sons. nephews, and grandsons are to be found among the most active members of L. O. L. No. 800, and other lodges in the west end of the. city.” I We ccpythe followinc from the Toronto Sentinel, which will he of interest to many Cunomcw readers: “Hr. Thoa. Brown. formerly a mem- ber of Nassau L. O. L. No 4. and a well known citizen of Toronto for over fifty years, died the latter part of last week, and was interred in the family plot in the Necropolis. on Monday afternoon last. The funeral took place from his late residence, 141 Manning Ave.. and was attended by members of the Orange and Masonic orders, as well as a host of relatives. and representative citizens of the West End. Deceased was well known and highly respected, having been a resident. of the West End of the city ever since coming to Toronto in the early fifties. and, like most of the North ol Ireland Orange- men who came to Canada at that time, especially those from the Coun-‘ ty of Derry, he was a Presbyterian and Conservative. As a charter member of Occident Lodge A F. A. 31., the members of that order took charge of the funeral. and he was buried with Masonic honors. A member of the West Presbyterian church, he was well known to those who attended that church during that time. Rev. Robt. Wallace was minister, and the present pastor. Rev. ‘John A. Turnbull, conducted the services at the house and grave. The six sons of the deceased were present and acted as pallbearers. and the cortege. which was exceptionally large contained a number of railway engineers and employee. who were present to pay their last tribute of respect to one of their craft. who had been in the employ of the North. ern and C. P. ‘Railways for many years. For thirty years Mr. Brown was an engineer on the Northern, and was in charge of the first locomo- tive that took a train into-Graven- hurst and Meaford when the line was excended to those points. He always took a deep interestin railway matters. and though not actually employed on the road for some '.time, he noted with pride the gigantic strides made by his country in rail- way construction during the last score of years. .
