In the absence of definite informa-
ton the cause assigned for the riot
in Athens, in which 10000 persons
took part and a nmber were killed
and wounded, is surprising. 1t is said
to have been proposal to translate
the Gospels into modern Greek AS
the entire New Testament, includin g
the Gospels, was written and printed
in Greek at a very early period it
must be that the proposed transla-
ton into modern Greek is regarded
by the officials of the Greek church
as proclamation. 1t seems slight cause
for the terrible slaughter.

QUALITY OF LIVE STOCK.

1t was a pleasurable surprise to
note the high quality of the stock. The
average of quality in cattle is higher
than the average of cattle in our State,
unless in the dairy classes. This opin-
ion is not reached rashly or without
ample opportunity for investigation.
l spent three long days in the show
ring at Winnipeg making the awards
in the beef classes. l question if any
of our states, single handed, could
make such showing in cattle. 1t was
my privilege to make the awards at
several shows, and at all of them
were evidences that much attention is
given to the improvement of the stock.
l noted carefully the character of the
herds that grazed along the railroad
and everywhere the high average Of
the quality of the stock was in evil
dence.
REASONS FOR QUALITY IN STOCK.
The quality of the grass is
good. Many of the settlers came
from Ontario, and had been schooled
as to the value of good stock before
going west. The railroads and the
Government have taken deep in
terest in making it less difficult and
costly to the farmers to secure good
males.
Those who are anxious OF changing
their residence should bear in mind
that the lands in Western Canada are
many of them free and others reason
ably cheap.
Information will gladly be given by
any agent of the Canadian Govern
ment, whose advertisement appears
elsewhere.

He asks for such legislation a. will place
the employees of the District of Columbia in

poyes in the insular service.
Among other recomme ndations is one
asking for legislation that will improve the
consular service; one that will cease. to
recognize the Indian as member of a
tribe but as an individual, and distribu-
ton of the tribal funds. For the Indians
he also asks for the establishment of in
dustrial schools and the stopping of the
issue of rations. He asks a liberal appro-
priation for the Louisiana Purchase expo
sition and an appropriation to cover the
expense of transferring the government
exhibits at Buffalo to the exposition at
Charleston, which the Charleston exposi-
ton has paid
Another recommendation is for a per-
manent census bureau, which, he says
would insure better cheaper and more
satisfactory work in that department.
The Postal Service.
He calls attention to the growth of the
postal service, and points to the fact that
the deficit of the service has been re-
duced to the comparatively small sum OF
s., 923, TT. This he says could be still fur
Their reduced, and possibly surplus
shown, but for the fact that many pub
LEGATIONS are now securing the pound rate
as second-class matter which are not law
fully entitled TO the same, but that the
department has now undertaken to re-
move the abuses SO far as possible by a
strcter application of the law, and asks
that ii be sustained in its effort.
He calls attention to the settlement of
the work, and Says that China has prom
ised reforms that will in the future guar
antee protection to foreign representa-
tives within her boundaries.

streams affording the water for irrigation
purposes, and should construct reservoirs
for this purpose. OF this he says:
THE government should construct and
maintain these reservoirs as it does other
public works. Where their purpose is to
regulate the flow of streams the water
should be turned freely into the channels
in the dry season to take the same course
under the same laws as the natural flow.

He counsels against any change in the
present tariff laws. but urges the adon-
ton of the reciprocity idea as a means
of opening the doors of the world to our
commerce. In this connection he saws:
Every applica ton of our tariff policy to
meet our shifting national needs must he
conditioned upon the cardinal fact that the
duties must never be reduced below the
point that will cover the difference between
the labor cost here and abroad The well
being of the wageworker is prime consid-
Grafton of our entire policy of economic
legislation.
Subject to this proviso of the proper
projection necessary to- our industrial
well being a home the principle Of reci-
proc1ty must command our hearty sup
port. The phenomenal growth of our
export trade emphasizes the urgency of
the need for wider markets and for lib
eral policy in dealing with foreign ma
tions. Whatever is merely petty and vex-
atious in the way of trade restrictions
should be avoided The customers to
whom we dispose of our surplus products
in the long run directly or indirectly pur-
chase those surplus products by giving us
something in return. Their ability to pur-
chase our products should far as pos
sible be secured by SO arranging cur tar
if as to enable to take from them
those products which can use without
harm to our own industries and labor or
the use of which will be of marked benefit
to US.

Rev r. Barackman rendered
his resignation as pastor Of the
Presbyterian church last Friday
evening, at a meeting of the church
session. The members of that body
unanimously expressed regret at
their pastors decision, which the

opinion that the work here could be
taken care of by another pastor,
leaving him free to carry oft his
plans. He expressed the kindest
feelings towards all the members of
his flock, and said that he wanted
his action to be considered from the
standpoint of the best interests OF
both pastor and congregation
The members Of the session are
hopeful that the latter may yet be
able to induce Mr.. Barackman to de-
fer his action, so far as it Involves
dissolving the pastoral relation with
this church.
