C0 CAMPAIGN IN BRITAIN CAMPAIGN IN GREAT BRITAIN NOW IN FULL SWING Liberals Are Making a General Attack on the Peers, and Lords are Held Up to Ridicule by Cartoons Par- liament Will Probably be Dissolv- ed on Dec. 28 or 29, and Election Will Be Held in January. London. The election* campaign is now in full swing, and many speeches are delivered. Lord Lansdowne at Plymouth defined the issue as being tariff reform vs: the extinct budget and the two houses. of parliament vs. a single chamber. Winston. Churchill spoke at Preston and attacked Mr. Balfour savagely. The Liberal Unionist council, on Austin Chamberlain s motion, passed a resolution of unqualified adherence to the policy of tariff reform. * England has before it a month of bitterest political conflict. Mr. As- quith has declared no quarter will be asked, and none will be given, and this is obvious enough already. . Par- liament will be dissolved probably on Dec. 28 or 29, to enable the election to be fought on the new. register, which comes into force on Jan. 1. Already the country: is being. flood- ed with red hot . literature: against duk s, and cartoons are holding the peers up ta ridicule. in a manner of old. reform. bill. fights. At the luncheon of the National Liberal club, Mr. Lloyd-George -deliv- ered a fighting speech in ich he ex- pressed confidence that although the budget had been buried it was. assur- ed the certain hope of an early: resur- rection. Attempts would be made, he said, to divert the minds-of the people to irrevalent questions, but the dom- inant question was that of the House of Lords. and this would absorb all others. It was time for the Lords to be handled firmly, the chance has ar- Tived and for one, he would not re- main a member of,the Liberal. cabinet for an hour. unless he knew that the cabinet had power to. carry its: bills. Decluring that a majority of the Lords were. in tlicir places simply to prevent the passage of Radical meas- ures, he added that the greatest of those in the upper house had been opposed to the rejection of the budget bill, and even Lord Lansdowne, he be- lieved, would rather have. passed. the budget. but he. had been forced into the position taken against his better The chancellor. concluded : With all the. Lords cunning; their greed has overborne their craft, and we have got them at last. ae To Train Colonials on British Ships London. Admiral: Sir Arthur Kny- vet Wilson has been. appointed first sea lord'of the admiralty in- succession to Admiral Sir John Fisher, who re- tires Jan. 25. The latter will con- tinue as a member of the committee of imperial defence. In the house of commons T. H. MacNamuara, parliamentary secretary to the admiralty, replied to a question as to whether .the admiralty would give the fullest facilities for: training of the officers of the colonial navies by receiving them aboard the war- ships. ines Mr MacNamara said we : tre UeSTION had recetved the consideration of the admiralty, which, would give every assistance possible for th . instruction of cclonial- officers. Canadian Exhibit Omaha, Neb. The Canadian exhibit. at the National Corn exposition is furnished almost wholly bythe prov- ince of Alberta and is about installed. While the: States are showing corn and vegetables Canada is exhibiting wheat... Occupying a large space in the centre of the building is a bin con taining over 100 bushels of No. 1 hard wheat: The quality is pronounced the best ever seen in this section; and he in is attracting much atten. NEWS OF LONG LOST EXPLORER a Missionary From Reindeer Lake Gives Information Received from the Eskimos of Andre s Death Ottawa. A very interesting story in connection. with the long lost Andre, the explorer, who twelve years ago left Spizbergen in a balloon in search of the North Pole and never returned, has been told in an interview by Bis- hop Albert Pascal of Prince Albert who has been the guest of the Oblate Fathers in Ottawa and has now left for his diocese. Bishop Pascal has charge of an immense territory ex- tending even as far north as the pole. His story had to do with the country in the eastern portion of his diocese between Saskatchewan and Hudson Bay. There is a young priest, Father Turquotille, a member of the Oblate Order. who resides at Reindeer Lake, who: had travelled extensively among the Eskimos in the northerf part of the region in order to learn the language. On one occasion he went with: a nomadic party about six days journey to the. northeast of Reindeer Lake and there met another party of Eskimos Noticing a revolver which the priest carried the Eskimos told him that some years before a white house had descended from the sky and eontained white -men who had killed many caribou to supply themselves with food. They intimated that the white men were in a -half starved condition. None of the men. were now living, they stated, but the white house was still in existence and was used by members of the tribe as a sort of sup- ply house for rope. with which it was covered. -It is thought that this may explain the disappearance of Andre and his companions, as Andre may have landed at.the place. indicated and perished. - Father Turquotille, said Bishop Pascal, will make another journey shortly and endeavor to get at all the facts-in connection with the Esquimo s story. i Canada Warned of Landlord Evil Ottawa. Rev. J. A. Macdonald, edi- .tor of the Toronto Globe; was recently the guest of the Canadian club of Ot- tawa. Speaking on the subject, Les- sons from Britain, he said that the land situation in Great. Britain is full of instruction and warning for Canada. It is full of interest.to Canadians when it is remembered that 80 per.cent. of the land of Britain is held 8 per cent. of the people, according a statement which has been made. At all events one-quarter of the land of Scotland s lowlands and highlands is held by 12 men. .One man alone owns over a million and a quarter acres: Canadians, should see to it, that the land ofthis country is not. squander- ed. God made the land for the people und the absentee landlordism, whether it be that of an individual or a syndi- eate, would be just.as. damaging to Canada 2s to Ireland. or Scotland or England. , Landlordism; Mr Macdonald de- elared, is responsible for the slums and socialism of England and the so- cial system of the mother country is an instructive -warning to Canada, ngainst all coming conditions that will be as inevitable in:Canada as-in Eng- land, to produce the slum. A number of Canadian cities, Mr. Macdonald said, are already in dire i s K Q' +, etter BRS ln The Towns, ame ilton, Winnipeg and Fort William have that difficulty today. Mr. Macdonald expressed the opin- ion that: it is not too late yet for the Canadian. cities to correct the condi- tions which have arisen. In econclu- sion Mr. miectonad pata a tribute to the pluck of the Englishman in every walk of life. : Mine Boy to Blame 1 Cherry, 111 Testimony at the cor- oner s inquest on the Cherry mine horror tended to show that the fire was started by Mat.

The annual dinner of the Montreal branch of the Canadian Manufacturers association took place at the Windsor hotel. Mr. Wm. Cald- well occupied the chair. The. chief speakers were Hon. L. P. Brodeur, Mr. R. L. Borden and Sir Thomas Shaugh- nessy. The minister of marine advo- cated a navy for Canada claiming that smaller and less worthy countries than the Dominion had each their navy. Referring to Chile, the Argentine, Bra- zil and Norway and Sweden and other nations, he said: We should build a navy to protect our trade routes and coast lines. Mr. Borden declared that it was the general desire of Canada to stand by the empire, adding that his party was on that side. Canada, the leader 0 the opposition said, should get busy ald. be like a bolt from the blue. haste should be made, as now was e time to prepare for any sudden emergency. The president of the C. P. R. -de- clared that the railway was both a mianufacturer and consumer, and he compared this system of 3,000 miles in 1886 with 10,000 miles of today. In the old days, Sir Thomas said, the company had to -become immigration agents, and they succeeded in getting many people to eome to Canada. Still, he said, the great bulk of the population is east of the lakes, and this part of Canada must not be ne glected. Hon. Charles Devlin also spoke, and all the speakers received: most gener- ous applause. in a southwesterly and westerly direc- and be ready for war; if war came: it Canadians Dispose of Prize Winners Chicago, sheep has been finished, the Canadian stockmen at the International Stock show disposed of most of the animals and left for their homes, well pleased with the fine showing they had made.

Alberta Farmers Holding their Grain Calgary. The- grain produced in Alberta is evidently being held. by the majority of farmers-to judge from the report of Grain Inspector Hill for the past months of November and Octo- ber and the corresponding November of last year. The report follows: November, 1909 Spring wheat, 237 ears; winter wheat, 38 cars; oats, 201, cars; barley, 25 cars; rye, three cars; flax, 7 cars; total, 511 cars. November, 1908 -Spring wheat, 294 cars; winter wheat, 131 cars; oats, 313 cars; barley, 36 cars; flax, two cars; rye, three cars; total, 778 cars. - October, ..1909 Spring wheat, 219 cars; winter wheat, 76 cars; oats, 118 ears; barley, 26 cars; flax, two -cars; aye, two cars; total, 444 cars. e No Coal Shortage Regina, Sask: A representative sent by the provincial government to inquire into conditions, at the Leth- bridge and Taber coal mines, conse ent upon complaints from Swift Garrent and other points of a fuel shortage, reports that the mines are on the whole handling the situation sat- isfactorily, though, owing to the shortage of men, the output is hardly equal to the demand. The-car service, however, is so far quite adequate and with a continuance of mild weather during December it is not. believed that any serious shortage will occur. Canadians Sa ed W. H. Gibson, who is in charge uf Sir George Drummond s stock is very much pleased over the showing made by the Canadian stockmen. He says the visitors: from: across the interna- tional line are satisfied with the hon- ors already won, but still have de- signs on other sheep trophies, especi- ally in the Lincoln class, which has not yet been judged. The Canadian sheep were a bit off their feed on ac- unt of the long railroad journey, said Mr. Gibson, but we are well satisfied with our lot. The Quaintest Railway Station The quaintest railway station in the kingdom is Langford, on the Witham and Maldon (Essex) branch line. The sole staff consists of an aged widow, who has performed the duties of stationmaster for many years. Her cottage, situated in a pretty garden, is also the booking-office; a small wood- en shed on the single narrow platform represents the waiting-room; and trains stop only when there are pas- sengers to ti.ke up or set down.

Washington. Naval forces of. the United States are being moved for- ward to both coasts of Central Ameri- ca to protect American life and prop- erty in Nicaragua, by force of arms if the necessity arises. With the departure from Phile- delphia of the troop ship Prairie, with 700 marines aboard for the Isthmus of Panama, and if it. also decreed, for Nicaragua, and with the sailing from Magdalena -Bay of the . protected cruiser Albany, and the gunboat York- ton, for Corinto, on the Pacific Coast of Nicaragua, the activity of the navy department on both oceans that wash the Nicaraguan shores, becamg mani- fest. The cruisers Des Moines and Ta- coma, and the gunboat Marietta, are lying off Port Limon.: Costa Rica, ready for any call upon them and the guns of the gunboat Vicksburg are pointed towards the custom house and itown of: Corinto. The gunboat Princet is end - ing to make. her way from the Bremer- ton navy yard, Wash., to Corinto also. With the probability of many delicate situations arising in. Nicaragua and demanding immediate response, the navy department decided to send a flag officer to Nicaragua to take com- mand of the American naval forces, and -Rear-Admiral W. W. Kimball was chosen for. the duty. He sailed for Colon, Panama, on the Prairie. He will make his way. from there to Corinto doubtless as rapidly as pos- sible. Admiral Kimball has been a member of. the naval: boards of retire- ments.and as constructer for more than: a year. - Think Uncle.Sam was Too Hasty Mexico: City The Mexican press comments editorially: in sarcastic terms on the action of the United States in severing relations with Ni- earagua. A recently established Span- ish newspaper declaresthat it was not the rupture-which caused amazement, but the terms of Secretary Knox s let- 'ter by reason of the abuse contained in it towards a republic of a sovereign nation. These declarations mark an epoch in Yankee imperialism . and sanctify the right which a strong na- tion has to make war upon a weak one in..the name of liberty and civiliza- tion. : es Mexico Nuero quotes secretary Knox in his reference to the revolution re- presenting the idea of the people and of a revolution depends upon ability to convince the Washington government that the movement so represents the peoples ideas.

Mr. Balfour s health is an lement of no liftle anxiety on the Unionist side, so much depends upon him, for no Ren, could have a better constitutional fighter on a constitu- tional issue and he alone can keep the party strongly in line on moderate tariff reform and preference policy. All hope of Mr. Joseph Chamberlain s personal intervention is now dismiss- ed. In an interview he said that tariff reform would not triumph at this elec- tion. but would ultimately win out. He ignores shouters and looks to the silent voter whom. two organizations have been edycating for six years past all through England. Scotland is as yet little moved by tariff reform. The Unionists count on. winning twelve to ten. Wales is even more irretrievably wedded to radicalisin. There is a good deal of comment upon the government s refusal to issue.a writ for Portsmouth bye-elec- tion. The government whip. indignant- ly denies that he is a party to the de. lay. He suggests the government. fears Beresford s return. and. consequent damping of radical ardor through the country. , : Also muchy discussed are the gov- ernment s whceasing efforts to squash the labor.party so ss to avoid three cornered fights. Labor members and national executive resolved after long discussion to withdraw. a certain ber of labor condidat so as not to weaken the. attack.on the Lords. These labor withdzawals include Wansbeck Swansca district, Swansea town, Midlothian, and two Lanark seats. : B.C. Meat Firm Buys Muirhead Ranch Calgary. One of the largest land deals that has taken place in Southern Alberta for some time was concluded this week, when: Messrs. T. Ellis and P, J, Russell, representing .the Van- couver, Prince Rupert Meat Co.,.pur- chased the large ranch of Mr. P. Muir- head, situated about ten miles west 0 Nanton. The ranch lies. at the north end of the Porcupine Hills,. between the Bar U ranch and.the:ranch of A. E. Cross. It includes 10,000 acres of freehold land in addition to about: the same quantity of leased land. It is one of the finest locations in Southern Alberta, is well watered with excel- lent springs:in evefy part and has about 56 miles of four strand wire fencing on it. Although the ranch has in the past been used almost exclus- ively for grazing purposes, fully 85 per cent of it is arable land of excellent soil for grain growing, ., King-Alfonso s Health Medrid. King Alfonso s physical state is causing extreme .anxiety at court.. The king is suffering from 4 tubercular affection of the port nazal. parts of the ear. Dr. Munto, of Bor- deaux, has performed three slight op- erations to check this disease. Now a serious oneration has become neces- sary. His tuberculosis condition is undoubtedly. inherited. His father. Alfonso II., died of tuberculosis with complications, which are also present in Alfonso s case. The Official Gazette announces .that che feeen expects an accouchement in pri.

She snoke triumphantly of the high class of intelligence among the lead- ers in th movement, declaring that nearly every imprisoned -suffragette was a university graduate. She elicit ed laughter by declaring that the working women of the musses would not. touch the movement with a 40- foot pole as they wished to be regard- ed-as ladies. x s Attorney-General. Foy and Provin- cial Secretary Hanna were present.

Mine Inspector Thomas Hudson testified he had not insnected the mine since last July, and did not know open torches were being used instead. of electric lights. esis Canadian Sheep Had Strong Rivals Chicago. One distinct feature of the National Live Stock show. has been that the States have gone after: the Canadian scalp .in the sheep and swine classes Heretofore the. Canad- .ians have virtually cleaned up every- thing in sight in these events, but this year, spurred on by successive defeats in past years, the breeders from the States produced such class that they managed to just about break even with the Canucks in the grand cham- pionship:. Here Sir George Drummond, of Beaconsfield, Que., stood almost in a class bf himself with a wonderful Southdown. : Finns Planning to Emigrate to Canada Helsingfors. Large numbers of Fin- nish farmers and laborers, who say they can no longer. stand the oppres- sive measures of the Russian govern- ment and its encroachments on their depend, have. decided to emi- zrate to Canada and the United States. Three hundred have already sailed from the Port,of Hango, and it. is be- lieved that.in th spring the emigra- tion will assume. vast proportions. The neople who are to make: their future pone on the other side of the Atlan- tic, are mostly well-to-do and will aid in building up the farming country of Canada and Western United States. Six New Post Offices in. Alberta Six new post offices have just. been opened in Alberta. They are Gadsby, 8 -miles e. ttler; Big Prairie, north of Edmonton; Botterell, east of Red.

Le Will Remove Cattle Embargo London. The Canadian Associated Press understands that. the restric- tions against the importation of Argentine cattle to this country wil shortly be removed. gt; Will Study Canadian Methods London. The Canadian Associated Press learns that a Danish commis- sion of three officials will visit Canada in January with the object of studying the administrative system and produce Bishop Stringer. OVerdue from North Vancouver. Much anxiety is -felt for Bishop I. O. Stringer, of Dawson, June for mission posts at MacPherson and Herschell islands : He was due back three weeks ago, and his family, who had: been spending: the sunita in Kincardine, Ont., is now waiting at Whitehouse for him. It is possible that the bishop s travel has been de- layed by the early freezing of the Poreupine riwer, and that late in.De- eember or early in January he will come through in -company with the Pee Indians on their annual moose hunting pilgrimage. The King Looked Over B. C Fruit Victoria, B.C. His Majesty, King Edward, paid a special visit to the B C. fruit exhibit at the horticultural show. at. Islington, meccrding to a cable received. by Hon. W. Bowser from the agent general. The king congratulated the B. C. government: upon their enterprise, and asked num- erous questions, praised the fruit and accepted several boxes. Swed King Works as Stevedore Stockholm. King Gustave of Sweden inaugurated a new d parture for sovereigns. He spent several hours in disguise, working as a stevedore carrying sacks of coal from a lighter. When it was over the king said that this was the-first of a number of simi- lar attempts he will make to fully acquaint himself with the working conditions of the people of this country.: Amending Railway Act 2 Ottawa, Ont. Meighen s bill .to amend the railway act was given the first reading. It extends the liabilities vf the railway companies for failing to carry out to the act, and not build- ing fences to keep cattle off the tracks.

King Edward VII is a Teriant Farmer London. King Edward was awarded four) first prizes for his exhibits at the Smithfield cattle show. The announce- ment of His Majesty s success brought out a fact whi h is not generally known namely, that King Edward is a ten- ant farmer, not a favidtord, and pays a large- sum every year in rent, and taxes for his holdings. Customs Revenue Shows Increase Ottawa. The customs revenue of the Dominion for the eight months of the fiscal year to Nov. 30, totalled 39,110,567, an increase of 8,141,325 over the same period last year. For the month of November the increase collection and shipment. was 1,302,703. who left via the Edmonton trail last elevators at Vancouver,-and has come to wee Alberta government for further aid. - : Naturally, said Mr. Cushing, we do not feel like acceding to the re- quest. We have said to Vancouver if. you want the trade-it is your place.to provide necessary facilities. I am going. to Victoria to confer with the government and find out what that province is going to do. Mr. Cushing is. sceptical as to the promise of William Whyte to provide facilities. He said it was a business proposition and he does not blame the company for its attitude. Says Colonies Do Not Support Lords London. The Earl of Crewe, wind- ing- up the debate in the house of lords, asked what. their lordships ; thought their fellow citizens all over the Empire would think of what they were doing that night. Their action would be absolutely unintelligible to men of all parties in the self-govern- ing colonies of the crown. -It was so alien to the spirit of their constitu- tions, and so foreign to their univer- sal practice. that if their lordships were right and the country condoned what they were doing, their fellow subjects. would not look the mother of parliaments, but they would ask if the citizens of the old exercise of responsible government. Colonial Fruit Show London. Princess Louise opened the Colonial Fruit show in the Horti- cultural building.

There were 34,619 pounds of cigarettes imported during. the same period which at an estimated weight of.2.8 pounds per 1,000 would repre- sent. 12,263,000 cigarettes. Veterans Ask for Extension of Time promised hy Str Wilfrid Laurier and Mr. Oliver to the: request of South African veterans association for an extension of time to two years for lo- cating their land grants. It was point- ed out that if two years extension was granted the. veterans would have time to locate or dispose of their holdings.

THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Il Tim. iv, 1-18 Memory Verses, 6-8 Golden Text, Phil. 1-21 Commentary Prepared by Rev, D. M. Stearns. In our last study for the present on the life of Paul it would seem wise to glance at the whole epistle rather thun only at the last chapter. He is still of the same mind as when he wrote 2 Cor. li, 2, determined to know nothing save Jesus Christ and Him crucitieu, for in this brief letter he mentious the Father, Son and Holy Spirit forty- eight times. His mind is stuyed upon the .Lord, concerning whom he says, I know whom have believed and au persuaded that He is able to keep. Our lesson chapter opens with a sol- emn charge in view of the judgment, and we are reminded of Eccles. xi, 4; xil, 14, Know thou that for all these things God will bring thee into. judg- ment; also of: Matt. xil, 36, Kvery. idle word that men shall speak they shall give account thereof in the duy of judgment. Let us remind our- selves that the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son, that all men should hon- or the Son ev n as they honor the fu- ther (John v, 22, 23). Bellevers who have died and who are resting frum thelr labors, along with all living be- -Hevers who shall be in-a momeut changed, shall-appear-for judgment at. the judgment seat of Christ-for believ- ers only. Then there will be the judg: ment of living nations when He shail come with His saints to establish His kingdom, and a thousand years later the judgment of the rest of the dend at the great white throne. In due. time and in due order there shall. be a resurrection both of the just and tue. unjust and a judgment of all that haye ever lived. : - As His .witnesses, His messengers, we are therefore to preach. the word . (verse. 2), to preach the preaching which He bids. us (Jonah ili, 2; Jer. i, 7; Ezek, il, 7; iil, 11), being warned, a were the prophets and apostles, that . Many will not endure it, but, loving pleasure more than.God and being sat- isfied with a form of godliness with- out the power (iil, 4, 5), they will pre- fer lying, deceit and delusi to the truth: of. God. (Isa xxix, 13;-xxx, 8-12) The word for the faithful witness Watch;-endure, fulfill thy ministry, Please Hint who hath chosen you, Study to show thyself approved.unto God (verse 5); il, 4). Many things look different when we come to the hour of our departure, but if by His grace we have fought the good fight of faith and haye kept the faith (verse 7; I Tim. vi, 12) we may have boldness even in the day of judgment (1 Johp iv, 17). Fitness to meet Him -Gepends wholly upon His great aint all sufficient sacrifice for us. But we will not be approved as His redeemed ones unless we have run the race weil and, b en good soldiers of J sus Christ. Our safety depends upon Him alone; our reward depends upon our faithful- ness, I'he crown. here spoken of the crown of righteousness was not for Paul only, but for all who love His appearing (verse 8). The crown of life is for patiently enduring, the crown incorruptible for self denial, tne - erown of rejoicing for winning souls, the crown of glory for feeding the flock four different lines of service. Sut this one Js for an attitude of soul. do not love His appearing, and many portmillenniatists: would be glad to see Him and may be said.to love His ap- pearing, although not looking for Him 0.soon or In the same way as some others. If we receive one or more or all of these crowns. it will be that we may cast them at His feet and give Him all the glory (Rev. iv, 10, 11). These crowns, or rewards, are not given us when we die, althongh it is. a common saying, He has gone ts bis. reward, but, as Paul says, at that day, concerning which see Rev. xxii, 12;.1 Pet. v, 14. hen notice that Paul was not thinking of dying quietly in one s bed with kind friends about him, but he was ready to be offered as a sacrifice in any way His Lord might appoint. i In verses 9-15. note how some are taken captive by the world and some openly withstand the word. But note also how some at one. time considera. unprofitable may: later become profir- able., The closing verses of the lessun teach us to find our encouragement : where Paul found bis in the Lord alone and, though all turn away. from us (verse 16 and i, 15), He hath said, will never leave thee nor forsake thee, . so that we may boldly say, he Lord is) my helper; 1 will not fear what man sball do unto me (Heb. xiii, 5, 6).-* The Lord stood with me aint strengthened me makes us think of an experience of David when in a time of great distress his faithful Gu: turned agaist him and spake of ston- ing him. but it is written, David en- couraged bDitusell iv toe Lord us wou (1 Sam, xxx, 6). No one could be more. alone than onr Blessed Lord, but His comfort may be seen in these words: The living Father batb sent Me, and 1 live by the Father. He that sent Me is with Me; the Father hath not left Me alone, for 1 do always those things that please Him (John vi, 57; vill, 297. Notice Paul's one great oc- cupation, that: the preaching might be fully known und that all the gen tiles might hear, and remember that ,Christ hath sent us as the ather sent Him to be His witness, Calgary Borrows Big Sum Calgary.
