Expire soOn or His Belief.

TORONTO. Nov. 22.There is trouble in the
Young Mems Conservative Club. Presi-
dent Arms strong recently made some remarks
deroGatory to the Conservative Government
as to its policy which allowed the Wholesale
immigration OF Canadians to the United
States. He said Canada was being annexed
to the republic by job lots. This led to charges
that he was not loyal to the Conservative
party. and at the meeting to-day the club was
asked 10 pass a resolution exercising its dis
approval Of Armstrong; views.
In the discussion that followed It was as
sorted that there were now more native
horn Canadians in Chicago than in Toronto.
that there was feeling Of political unrest Mt
present in the country. and that tn" party that
the one which adopted O. policy to nllay this
disconnected feeling. The resolution con-

The general appearance OF the docu-

every stage in the art of chiography,
from the printed letters executed by
the bad small boy, who is too busily
engaged in mischievous schemes to
learn to write at present, TO the well
formed and perfectly rounded letters
of the studious little miss of ten years,
but though their signatures are all
different their object is one, and their
methods of realizing it are the same,
and may success attend their efforts.
The delegates in whose custody this

reason OF their past experiences to do

The Canary and the Frogs.

The Scranton, Pa. Truth tells this
story: 1.-THE demoralizing effect OF
inferior sounds upon highly-developed
singers has had striking and rather
amusing illustration recently in the
case of Scranton canary which, q
few days ago, was placed where it
could hear the shrill monotone of the
frogs singing their open spring chorus.
The weather was mild, with no indi-
cation OF Aprils present clustering
snow storms in the air, and the
philosophic frog doubtless thought it
was his turn to sing. The canary,
swinging in its cage a short distance
Off, heard the strange chorus, without
a pause, and mistaking persistence
Tor superior ability, soon began to
initiate the music of the frogs. The
owner of the canary was astonished
over the sudden and strange demoral.
ization OF his sweet singer, and he did
not regret the next snow storm that
sent the noisy frog under cover. But
the canary has retained his frog.voice
and gives most of his time to imita-
tions of the amphibious minstrels of
the marsh. The incident suggests a
theme for those observing naturalists
who make a special study of the vari-
GUS phenomena OF animal life. In
deed it is possible that parallel may
be found in politics, where the states
man and the scholar sometime finds
himself coming down from his high
estate to sing in chorus with the we'll
organized machine. The voice that
can ring out clear and true against
the force OF numbers in these DAYS of
political and railroad combines, and
that will not yield any of its nature
to the harsher sounds of the jarring
world is rare and worth cherishing.
But there are such voices, after all,
and the true lesson of the canary and
the frogs should not be lost upon
them.
