ABBE PROULX- MISSION of this year to make payments. With the prices where they are this 18 found impossible, and many a man cannot realize from his crops this year sufli* cient to raise the iudcbtodness incurred last. Those who are in a position tu hold for better prices will no doubt reap the reward of their patience, but there are others, and very many, who are aboolutely obliged to sell at what- ever figure they can get. Takiii{{ the country aii a whole, ho'vever, there are signs that the lowest ebb has been reached, and we can as a whole people look for brighter tliuigs. Great Britam ij again after the dervishes on the upper Nile, and the announcement is made that a blood loss victory has been gained. No very great. duf^ree of enthusiasm has been awakened by the information. Now if it had occurred in Turkey â€" Abbo Pronlx of Quebec has been oommissioncd by tiie Premier of this Dominion, Mr. Lauiier, to proceed to Rome and pray that His Holiness the Pope may be pleased to prevent in future his clergy in this country from taking any active part in politics. The Globe's jtistilicatiou of this act is eicecdiugiy lanio It says this is a matter for the French Roman Catho- lics to settle among themselves. We differ. What business has the prem- ier of this country to refer any of its public alTuirs to any foreign potentate? ^ i are a powet within ourselves and only the Queen of England Las any ri^jLt whatcvur to dictate in any way our public acts. If it is a wrong for the clergy to interfere in politics are V9 iio( capable ourselves of dealing with the clergy ? Arc oor laws of no account ? If the laws we have are not sufficient to cover the case, as Mr. Laurier apparently admits, cannot our lawmakers make others more satis- (actory f Would a proiestaut premier ever have drcameJ of requesting an Anglican or a Methodint bishop to in- («ifcr« in any action the clergy of those denominations might take in public matters ? The absurdity of Buuh a pursibility as the latter is too apparent to require an answer. Yet wo find the Globe excusing (in alamo vay to bo sure) this mission of Abbo Froulz. This country wants no mis~ Btons to Rome outside of private mis- •ious. Wo boheve Mr. Laurier has Las made a fatal, *liough natural, Cnar in putting on fuot this uiisvion. lie did notsufllcieutly weigh the prob- able elloct it would have upon the people outside his own province. Ha ia not likely to remain long in doubt as to the gravity of it. And still the Armenian massacres go on, and still llie powers ? are powor- l«Ba. The United Blatoa is too ab- sorbed in election chaos to think over the matter of joiniiif; forces with Bri- tain. Italy and B;-itain could do no- thing because action on their part would involve a European war. Ruasia is apparontly hopefully await- ing such a move. While this state of sflairs exists the slaughter of men, women and children of the Christian f»iili continues. If mattera do not adjust themselves shortly the inassa- eres will cease for want of material. It is loo awful to contemplate. If Russia is in the position stated she is a national ghoul ; and wiiat of the other countries who stand idly by and gaze at the martyrdom with indif ferent eyes ? The World went through the whole- sale houses lust Hatuiday and di; .

Now air I have betu litlaniug and feeling around for some time and did come to the concluaiou at one time that I would treat these partins to a littlo shoe leather, but have now cume to another conclusion, viz. as follows : If any person, man, woman, child, backbiter or snHak, and theie iiHinau include all the parties, can say and prove anything about me I want them to come richt out with <t in thin papvr or any other Canadian paper, eigii their name and then 1 proceed to busiiicSH.

Such people of course are not helii-ved unlens by a few like themselvc-n, and thene iirx, I am piraied tu say, like hens' teeth few and far l>etween.
