Under the aboye heading the Toâ€" ronto World has an article which suggests that it is cutting loose from old affiliations, _ Whatever be its purpose it his some good advyice. Here are parts of is : * Independent men with convicâ€" tions and the coursge of their convieâ€" tions are needed in parliament and the legislatures at this time. _ Not necessary that they should have no party proclivities or affinities, but that they sbhould be strong enough and braye enough to sacrifice thess when the public interest demands it. An independent and conscientious public man has principles and when he becomes a representativye of the people either at Oitawa or at Toronto he governs himself by his principles. Independent men of this stamp are oifering themselves for election to the Legislature of Ontario and they should â€"receive the wholeâ€"hearted support of the electors who are in agreement with their platform. A substantial leayen of representatives who will stand solidly tor the rights ot the people and for the interests ct the people, who are really in earnest about the conservation of the provinâ€" cial resources and tranchises and about administrative efficiency can accomplish much for this province. LSo long as political parties are conâ€" } trolled by the machines and so long «s these machines discourage the candidatures of men who think tor themselves, so long will they be a menaceto good government and to electorai parity. â€" But the pseople |\ mus: save themselves and they can |do it by selecting representatives : whose principles and character comâ€" mand their confidence. ‘‘ To the independent men of South Grey the principles and character of Mr Neil McCannel shouwld appeal for their support. â€"All suicides are cowardly, some silly, and amongst the latter must be placed that of the Liberal candidâ€" ate for East Lambton, on whom the worries of the campaign must haye weighed heayvily. He had been troubled with insomania for a loag time. &6 Elect Independents. w4 4 es + THE DURHAM REVIEW Ma reads the "Woman‘s Column" an. about the "Women‘s Clubs," An‘ sister reads the »Beauty Hints" an‘ of the social dut»s.

May l4th and 15th, in Markdals. On Thursday evening at the opening services, KRev. D, E. Cameron, of Fairâ€" wount preached a very able sermon on Col. 1 : 18, and especially on the last clause, " Ohrist baving the preâ€"emin. ence. " Friday 10.30 a. m. Roly Communion was administered by the Rector, Rev. J. A. Robinson, M. A. assistad by Rey. J. Ardiil, R. D. At 230 p. m. the regular business meeting of the chapter opened with prayer by the Rutal Dean. The minutes of the last meeting held in Owen Sound were read and conâ€" firmed. A very practical address was then given by Rev, J, A, Robirison, M. A, on " Recruits for the Mimstry, " after which the Rey. J. Ardill, R. D, conâ€" ducted the Sacred Stady in the original, on John 20, * The Resurrecâ€" tion. " Many beautiful and deep 1 thoughts were brought out from the Greek which are not seen when reading the Eoghsh translation, _ All present appreciaied the Rural Dean‘s efforts very much. The subjects for discussion were * Christian _ Unity, " * Missionary Work, " * Immigration " and * New Hymnal." _ All these subjects were discussed with much care and criticâ€" ism, considering the importance that each and all bore on the strength and unity of the church. Revy. A. A. Bice, B. A., of Durham, was reâ€"appointed Bec‘y, and Rev, W. G. Rally, of Chatsworth, was reâ€"apâ€" pointed Treasurer of the Deanery, On motion, it was decided to hold tue Deanery 8. 8.

T. K. R. Westgate. missionary on furlough from â€" Equatorial Africa, deliyered a most interesting and inspiring illuâ€" strated lecture on his work in that country. He stated the Mohammadans were putting forth every effort to convert men to their rites, and that it behoved the church of God to awake to a sense of their responsibility. It is much to be regretted that it is imâ€" possible for Rey, Mr Westgate to adâ€" uress meetings in eyery parish in the Diocese. Excessive Provincial Expenditures. speech refers He says : Perhaps the most startling stateâ€" ment that his been made during the whole course of this Debate was mace by the honorable the member for Eat Huron when he made it abundantly clear that the per capita expenditure of the Proyince of Ontario in the year 1972 was but $1.50 and in 1904 it had increased only to $2,50 and in the short three years thereafter it had inâ€" creased to $3.50; in other words the per capitra expenditure has increased as much in the three years of Conserâ€" vative rule as it did in the 33 years of Liberal rule. (Applause.) This startâ€" ling announcement should be sufficient of itself to call the attention of this Government and the people of the Province to the necessity of closely scrutinizing every detail of expendiâ€" ture. He then goes on to show that exâ€" penditure for civil government had inâ€" creased in 3 vears 47 per cent: Legisâ€" lation 12 per cent; Administration of justice, 30 per cent, but on the great question of Agricalture the increase was only 8 per cent, proving that the great farming class were neglected, a result he thought due to the Mimster of Agriculture being * the weak sister in the government." i vyery large portion of our revenue flows | into the treasury, neither the honorâ€" | able the Provincial Treaswier nor any { other present occupant of the treasury | benches can truthfully or fairly be made or considered a fitting subject ‘ for congratulations.
