To speak to a stranger when he enters or leaves a church is a very small act and could easily be per- formed by any one professing to be a Christian, but even the small act of shaking hands with a stranger 0r bid- ding him welcome is often a matter of neglect, and the stranger who feels unworthy of being noticed often imag- ines he has struck an iceburg and isn’t apt to go back again. If a stranger is looked on with eoldness and suspicion as if he showed an inclination to steal the communion service he isn’t likely to feel cmnfortahle in such a congrega- tion. and the chances are that he will not trouble. them very often. At best a stx anger feels strange enough in a strange place, but he doesn’t liked to be looked upon with suspicion or re- garded as an outcast.

ADDlYé paper critics. Aug 18-tf. g 2.: * * It’s easy to be critical. ‘Ve have known some of the most illiterate chumps you could find in a day’s walk who were never done criticising. The preachers didn't preach right, the teachers didn’t teach right and the editors didn’t write} right. Preachers, teachers and editors are liable to make mistakes. None of them are paragons of perfection, and only the foolish ones lay claim to such presumption. Hon- est criticism is good at any time, but the man who poses as a critic should get from under cover and fight like a man. we had acopy oflast week’s Chronicle returned through the mail. Eight words were marked as errors on the front page; one was purely typo- graphical, one we admit was a real error of syntax, but the other six we ; are prepared to justify as fairly good i English. The learned critic tore his , name off the paper so as to conceal his ' identity and, shall we say, to reveal his cowardice. There was nothing in the marginal comments that couldn’t be said by an honest man with a desire to do good. Why then should he go and hide himself when his advice might be sought in the future by one who is not too old to learn? Almost anyone can pull down a house, but it requires a skilled workman to make a good job in erecting one. There are lots of critics, some of whom we would like to have for one week to try their hand at running a local newspaper. We would certainly prize it as a Spec- ial number, and we are quite sure our readers would enjoy such a rare pro- duction. The Chronicle man is not 100 Sept. 19-5pd.

ISTABUSHED 1.73 (Saturday Night.) Why is the Englishman not as well liked in Canada as the Scotchman, the Irishman or the \Velslnnan? This question has had more or less discus- sion at different times, but the Lon- don Spectator comes back at it again, and answers it in a way that calls for comment in these columns devoted to the interests of plain truth. The Spec- tator takes up the subject because of an article by Mr. J C. Hamilton, in the National Review, of which it speaks well, except that it pretends to discover in an out-of-the-way corner of Mr. Hamilton’s article, the real secret of the Englishman’s unpopular- ity, and proceeds to explain the whole thing to its readers, to Mr. Hamilton and the world in general. If The Spectator will permit me to say so it exhibits in its own case the very qual- ity that brings many Englishmen into disfavor in-this country. It knows all about it. It has no doubt at all but that it knows Mr. Hamilton’s subject better than Mr. Hamilton knows it.‘ He is on the spot. He is a Canadian, He is one of our leading journalists, and an ardent lover of Great Britain. It is painful to him to have to admit that there is any such thing as a half- formed prejudice against Englishmen -â€"or a class of themâ€"in Canada," and he would like to put forward explana- tions in the National Review that l would bring about a better understand- ling. Along comes the London Spec- tator, picks up his letter patronizingly, and proceeds to explain the Whole trouble to its own satisfactionâ€"but I venture to say not to his, nor to that of any other person on the spot. In the last. issue of Toronto Saturday Night considerable space 18 taken up to show why the Englishman is less liked in Canada than the Scotchman, the Irishman or the Welshman. The article is written by Mr. J. T. Clark, and bears the ear-marks of thought and common sense, when he shows that it isn’t the “silent” “reticent” or “reserved” Englishman that meets with a large measure of linpopularity. but the Englishman who comes to this country to “teach” and not to “learn.” This dislike, Mr. Clark might have gone on to show, is not towards Eng- lishmen alone. but against the Scotch, the Irish and the Welsh as well if they, too, possess the offensive characteris- tics that make some of the English unpopular here. The man “who knows it all” and tries to cram his supreme wisdom down the throats of others will soon be unpopular in this country whether English, Irish, Scotch” \Velsh, or even Canadian. It isn’t because he’s English that an Eng- lishman is disliked in Canada, but it’s because he knows too much and isn’t able to deliver the goods in proportion to his professions. The negro who said “a white man is just as good as a black man any day it he is as gooc ” might change the expression a little and say that. “an Englishman is just as good as a Scotclnnan, or a \Velsh- man, or an Irishman, if he is as good,” but the assumption of some English- men who regard themselves as super- ior to all other nationalities has unfair- ly brought dislike on many of their own countrymen who should never have been considered in the same list. It’s the unteachable know-it-all that is disliked, and it makes verylittle difl'er- ence what thenationality is. One great trouble with the man who knows it all is that he never knows enough to know that he doesn’t know anythinn'. \Vith the utmost cocksureness The Spectator explains to Mr. Hamilton, and to all Whom it may concern, just Why the Englishman is less pOpular in Canada than the Scotchman, the Irish- man, or the Welshman. It is because he possesses a quality lacking in the other threeâ€"he is the most silent of them all. It is not necessary to enum- erate the excellent reasons given Why he exhibits this quality of silence re- garding himself which causes him to be misunderstood by us. It is not nec- essary to do this, because it is not the silent Englishman against whom any prejudice can be supposed to exist in THE UNPOPULAR ENGLISH THE DURHAM CHRONICLE W iv.“ this country. With the silent Eng- lishman we have long been acquainted and early learned his sterling merits. He is not unpopular anywhere in Can- ada. although sometimes the wish is expressed that he would thaw out a little more quickly than he does. But you meet him in the clubs, you meet him everywhere, and go out .of your way to meet him. Men of this kind are enjoying proofs of their popularity all over the Dominion. The Spectator is away off the track. Any prejudice that may be said to exist against Englishmen in Canada has so far found eXpression only in two quarters. Farmers who come into town to hire help when a trainload of workers arrive from Great Britain, have been heard to say: “I don’t want an Englishman,” and at times an ad- vertisement has appeared in the press for a porter or some such laborer, con- cluding with the words: "An English- man need not apply.” There is no prejudice that has found expression except in these two forms. And the last thing that would enter the mind of either the farmer or the man who wrote that advertisement would be to explain his prejudice on the ground that he found Englishmen too silent, too reticent. The complaint they make is quite the reverse of that, and the point to be remembered is that there are Englishmen and Englishmen. Many of those who have come out here of recent years are not afflicted with the vice of silence. I asked a man who published such an advertise- ment as that spoken of why he had done so, and he replied that he had engaged two Englishmen in succession as porters, that in each case the man wanted to talk all day instead of at- tending to his work, that he knew everything and could be taught noth- ing, Ask an Ontario farmer why he says he does not want an Englishman as his hired help and in nearly every case he will reply that it is because the man does not want to learn, but wants to teachâ€"talks. complains, argues, tells you how things were done at home, and altogether is more trouble on the place than a breachy steer. In short any prejudice that exists against the Englishmen has been occasioned by a mere handful of themâ€"not silent ones, but over-t:.leative .onesâ€"who make the mistake of supposing that the Ontario farmer hires him to make conversation and to teach him how to farm, as they do it in ‘ Londonâ€"where many of these men come from. gainst Englishmen generally, the country is far from feeling any preju- dice. But thousands of men of a type this country cannot evince a sudden affection for have arrived in the past few yearsâ€"and they by no means give offence by showing a “silence,” a “re- ticence,” or a “reserve.” In fact, England is most ready to send us by assisted immigration a class least adapted for export. Few of those who come over of their own accord fail to fit into the scheme of things in the new world. The Artemesia Fall Fair was held in Priceville on Thursday and Friday of last week. The weather was none too favorable, Thursday being rather wet and Friday a little on the cold side. Notwithstanding these drawbacks the attendance Was fair and the exhibition is regarded generally as up to former years; It is a purely agricultural show and no special attractions are used as drawing cards. In live stock, farm products and domestic manufac- tures the exhibits were ~highly credit- able. The bread, butter, fruit and fancy work were of a high order, and reflect much ccedit on the community of the township. Following is the PRIZE LIST. HORSES. DRAUGHT.
