Our fair Canadi is stiuggling for existence under the weighty burden of the Lord's Day Alliance â€" a vampire suckiug at the vitals of our land, depriv- inK us of our opportunity for the Sunday relaxation! Such, in brief is the belief of the Rational Sunday League, and its great excuse for existence. To the writer it sounds like a very poor excuse at that. In its annual report (the fiist, by the way) it claims that the movement to exclude entertainments and to abolish refreshments and iniioceut recreations on tjunday is at heart a movement to get a monopoly of Sunday for the church. And why not 1 What docs tlio church <lo to the average man during the week ? It is not a lung shot to guess that as fa OS (he churches atl'ect the members of tho "Rational" League during the week they might as well be locked upâ€" ordoing business in tho Holy Land. They claim that tho non-chui°ch-going public have a right to social, intellectual and moral privileges of their own choice. Tlie average privilege of the non-church-goer is not intellectual or moral to any har- I'using extunt ami uhen tho Rational (?) movement is known to be ba'cked largely by liquor interests a true idea of tho morality of the scheme may be formed. The neatly rounded phrases will pull the wool over tho eyes of many non- -church-goers who will fail to note the iact that they are merely pawns in a game, and will fall heartily in accord with the scheme. The League also strongly criti/.es the "methods of intimidation" used by tho Lord's Day Alliance in threatening so- cstled offenders of the Lord's Day It is described as an attempt to «emi-l«f(al iwwer.

An eye for an eye and a tooth for a t«otb is not tho vlogsn of this body. What if a man does unwittingly break the law ? The Alliance has not judicial power. At l>est it could but lay a complaint. A warning is the more merci- ful, and in many cases, the more effectlTO course ; and the Alliance pursues it, believing it to be tlie best. Another grievance of the Rational bunch is that public concerts on Sunday have Ijeen put out of business through the good offices of the Alliance. The Rational League would like to have them restored, but the law lays no. The natural cours« is downward and without such a body as ;tha Lord's Day Alliance to keep things in tone there would soon be a state of "wide-openneBs" that woulii grsti.'y tho most irrational of "Rationals." In this age of moral and temperance re- form the struggles and wriggles of a depart ing vice are most .ronderful to be- hold. There will be still more struggling be^/rn the boozo makers all desort their stills, and turn the key in their doors for tho last time. AS OTHERS SEE US. The London letter in Saturday Night tells of the wonderment which peaches "which are grown in tho open in Ontario" caused in the Loudon market. Really these intelligent lords of creation are learning, aren't they? Just to think of it, peaches grown right in the open air in the colony â€" grown probably in crevasses of the icebergs or in the shelter of some large snowdrift ; or are they grown under tho snow altogether, aud do the natives dig.them out as needed? Isn't it strange ow 'ardy tho; be? When will the average Londoner get a bit of his native fog out of his head, aud have room for something else? No, Cauada,is not buried under mountains of iceâ€" nor is it a land of eternal snows. Yes, we have a month or two of summnr, and we don't ALWAYS bare to melt ice to get water to drink. Apropos of this, a good yarn was told the writer by a Londoner who had done well in this country and had returned home on a visit. His sister said to him : "I say, Alf, the people bout there don't live in 'ouaea, do they?" homes that will never more be en- tiiely happy as a result of the exile to the Siberian mines. The proposal is to erect houses of correction in various parts of the empire â€" bnt it is easy to forsee the style that will be pursued in "correcting," if one is to judge by past events, aud it is debatable as to which is to be pre- ferred the mines or the "correc- tion. Prince Ito of Japan was buried with Pagan rites last week. It is easy to scoff at the mystic performances of the Japs to find favour in the eyes of the gods, aud to propitiate the spirits, but are ttiere not others who are superstitious ? Did you ever see a person avoid sitting down at a table which had twelve people around it already? And are there not a thousand and ouo signs that are religiously avoided by people of your acquaint- ance? Of course you never do it. But the Japanese superstition is only one forai â€" every country has it, though no two have it in the same manner. The very strangeness of their customs furnish an air of foolish- ness in our eyes, and would not occidental "signs," which so many profess to ignore (yet observe most religiously), be ridiculous in the oriental eye ? gathering is that which would decide to make Alfonso tho country's oiisoLF.TK head. Major Arthur Brodrick has re- ! turned to England from Canada according to a despatch, and proposes I to ship unemployed militia men to Canada, where they may join a colonial force. This will open a new field. Shortly unemployed sailors will be comiug to the "colony" to got a job on the navy. They'll have to trot back home, though, for the politicians will have sufiicieut friends for all vacancies â€" and lots to spare. Canada is still somewhat of a small boy. Boyliko we cannot stand anticipation, it would seem, to judge by oar chosen representatives at Ottawa, They see a distant prospect of a few war ships to play with, but with the impatience of youth can't wait and so will borrow a couple of third class cruisers from the mother- land and at once will have their new plaything.
