THE INSTINCT OF THE BETTER PART OF
HUMAN NATURE.
What n Brother Editor Has 10 Say of
the Boycott Of the Press and Ban.
CherdtU ReDortci..


The AbGeuiHe Press and Banner is still talk
ing about the beneficial results to that paper
Of the boycott which was put upon IL II few
months ago. Instead of the I1cSS and Banner
being Injured by the action of the Alliance,
the paper is in more fourShing condition
than ever. This will always be the outcome
of such iEtimdation-a paper that expresses
It's honest convictions, no matter how much
1t may offend some of It's readers, will be up
held in the end. The Alliance in this county
has not so far attempted any boycotl-hc
nearest approach was the condemnation the
other day of the NcrS and Courier and Rcpor-
ter by some of the farmers of Mt. Crosran.
But this was not the action of the Alliancc we
are happy TO say, not that IT. would injurc the
Reporter, but the Alliance would be the suffer-
CT. When thai organization presumcS to tell
newspapers and people who see lit 10 differ
with them that they must think so and so or
be boycotted, then the thinking men belong
ing TO the Alliance and those outside, will
join hands and give hcarticr support than
ever to those papers or people. ii Is an in
stinct OF the better part OF human nature 10
rebel against the persecution of Il fellow be-
ing.

Rev. Baptist Noel, at late meeting
of the Baptist Union, stated that the
other day he was staying in Cornwall
with u gentleman who mentioned
book to this effect: "Paid to Mr.. So
and-So, seven shilIings and six pence,
for driving away Methodists." Now,
in that parish there were fourteen
Wesleyan chapels, and they We're all
filled. The population of the place
was 10000, and the whole of them,
with the exception of five families,
were Methodists. This result was at
tributable to the earnest determina-
ton of the first Methodists to preach
the Gospel to every creature. They
did so, and the Lord went with them.
The Government of Manitoba has
withdrawn all help from denomina-

From The Indians Friend, Philadelphia.
We may be color blind as to the In
dians's skin, but we can see the value
of his land from afar.
There is not only all Indian ques-
ton, but also all Indian answer; have
you heard both? ..
Let it be kept constantly in mind
that al Indian has rights as a man,
they who deny. him these rights wrong
their own manhood. -. - :.
The object of Industrial education,
so far as the red man is concerned, is
not to develope the American Indian,
but to evolve the Indian American.
General Armstrong says that until a
late tour of observation he was seven
years behind the facts but the land
grabber wasn't in his company,-this
last is generally ahead of the facts and
the Indian.
The white man says: "The only
good Indian is dead Indian :" the
red man in many parts of this fair
land hasn't yet made up his mind
whether there are any good white men
or moi, t,-alive or dead.
For all the wrongs done the Indian
we must make answer to God.

Some years ago Catholic priest in
Canada named Martin turned Protes-
tant, entered the Methodist ministry
if we are not mistaken-and married.
Recently be resolved to return to the
Catholic church, and with view to
this he entered into correspondence
with the archbishop in those regions,
who gave him the receipt by which he
should save his soul. Just how many
or what penitential pills he should
swallow we do not know; but the first
was to be to desert his family. His
wife knew nothing of the matter.
The husband disappeared, but she ex-
pected his return till some nuns called
on her to inform her that her husband
was to see her no more; but that she
and her children could rely on them
for care and protection in the convent.
Of course she thought she had had
enough Of Catholic protection, and so
declined. There is something little
remarkable in this affair. 1t Is not
strange that as man should take it into
his head to desert his family, for it Is
not sufficiently unusual to be strange,
but is q little strange that bishop
could be found that would lay down
such rule of repentance and reforma-
ton. Of course the bishop claimed
that the man was not married, not
having been married by priest; if
therefore he had demanded that the
rite of matrimony between this man
and his wife should he solemnized
again, and this time by q Catholic
priest, we would only pronounce it a
piece of impudence but to command
the profligate to leave his family, and
to command him to commit this crime
in the name Of religion, is blasphemy.
and all insult to civilization as well.-
