The opposition canvassers in South Grey are soliciting votes against the| Liberal candidate, J. D. Morgan, on the ground that he is a Romen Cathoâ€"| lic. We had thought that the time when a man‘s religion should be thus dragged into political warfare had | passed, and that the test of a man‘s| fitness tor a public position, is his capacity for the position. Mr. Morgan| stands well among the people who! know him best, as evidenced by the| unanimous ncmination which he reâ€" ceived from a large convention of the Liberals. The convention was attendâ€"| ed by 138 duly elected delegates, and | of this number there were only nine of| the same religious faith as Mr. Morâ€"| gan. There were three other candiâ€" dates before the conyentionâ€"Dr. Mearns of Hanover, an energetic and capable man and a successful practiâ€" tioner ; George Binnie, a farmer of good standing, and exâ€"Warden of the county, and (i. McKechnie. exâ€"M.P.P , who is known throughout the riding and surrounding counties as a business man of high standing. _ The ballot was taken in such a way that Mr. Mor gan, after three ballots were cast, was pitted against each of the others singly and it is no reflection on them to say that Mr Morgan bad a majority over each of them. _ This is certainly a strong proot of the confilaence and esâ€" teem the men who know Mr Morgan have in him.

President Mills on acâ€" counting for this pleasing fexture of the College‘s prosperity says : ist year having been the most successâ€" P:ls in its 24 years‘ history. Proof of this is found in the fact that of the studâ€" ents now in attendance over 95 per cent. "*The great mn{nrity of those who bhave been with us long enough to get a Ogilvie‘s Klondyke book is the ‘best selling one of the year but a book.â€"free for all who ask, that excels it in real merit, because treating effectively of a subject of more lasting importance to the ple of this Province, is the Anâ€" mmmpurt of the Ontario Agricultural College and Experimental Farm at Guelph. Where one man will wax rich in the now famous 501(] mines of the Yukon district of Canada, a hundred may acquire a competence if not a great deal more by sticking to the farm in Ontario. The wealth of matter in the Report is of incalculable yalue to the country. Agriculture is our greatest industry and the information given thereabouts by this publication of the Ontario Deâ€" partment of Agriculture, Toronto, is upâ€"toâ€"date and reliable. The Redport is moreover, â€" wellâ€"illastrated, and for a Major Shel‘)\purd‘s address on "3 hisâ€" toric days in Niagara Hiver" was grand and vivid, and was well fitted to rouse patriotic feelings, The audience would agree with him that the country was worth the efforts and the lives of these days, Mr. Ramage‘s song "Our Dominâ€" ion forever" came after this and was thrillingly effective. Mr. O‘Connel in *"*Mother at Home" received a hearty encore, Some closing remarks by Pres. Wm. Young, votes of thanks and God Save the Queen closed a fine meeting, Miss King, Mt. Forest, was rapturâ€" ously encored for a fine solo, Miss Doupge and Mrs. A. Hamilton gave an inspiring duet "A Lighthouse by the Sea." Mr, W im. Ramage sang the two Putri- otic songs "Our Dominion Forever" and "The Land of the Maple." Miss Jennie Doupe sang a solo "The farmer feeds them all," with grace and marked ability, She was loudly encored and replied. Mr Jas, Gould spoke on "Over proâ€" duction and its remedies." Advised coâ€" operation among farmers He is brimâ€" ful of enthusias» in his calling. Mr. D. Allan made a speech showing up the evils of the credit system and the tramp nuisance, He would like fewer churches and more concentration of purpose in their work. Mr. Gokey, V.8., Durham, followed on the same lines, urging more governâ€" ment inspection of food products. He gave some of the symptoms and remeâ€" dies for bloat, murrain, etc. Mr, Gould, Uxbridge, gave an address, spiced with humor, on ensilage, saying it was cheaper to raise corn than turnâ€" ips, He discussed methods of storin and construction of silos in a pracLic:fi way. Mr. Jas, Murdoch was in the chair. Haley & Co., gave some musical selecâ€" tions. Dr. Jones jr., spoke on Tuberculosis, and its ravages among domestic aniâ€" mals. He thinks our health laws are not stringent enough. Mr. Binnie spoke at some length tne advantages of joining the Inst. At Holstein last week another successâ€" ful meeting took place. There was a good attendance and much interest disâ€" played. Major Shepard, Queenston, spoke in the afternoon on "Country Roads," and had some hints as to how the present system could be improved by the apâ€" pointment of an overseer, with imâ€" proved road rollers, wide tires, etc, And so it goes on. When so often polizies have been changed without having accomplished their ends it is an eloquent proof that the Liberal position commends itself to the country, and is sufticient evidence that "it is never time for a change for the worse." 8.â€"The office of Minister of Educaâ€" tion was to be turned inio an irresponâ€" sible ‘"Chief Superintendent."
