LIBERAL ELECTION MB&THODS,

Mr. C. H. Cauan, the nominee of the

° . on ‘ r Conservatives of Cumberland County, N. S., in the course of an excellent epeech

acknowledging the hosor done him by the

electors, reviewed the conduct of the New Liberals ateome length. ‘‘ There is one thing I have egaiast the Liberal

party,” said he. “ That is that while they have professed and made strong professions of purity in politicsynevertvelers in a demo- crat'c country like this, where the will of the people should be represented in the government, where the people have @ right to their ballot and to have 4 pure vote, certain wsembers of the Liberal party have in the great province of Ons tario put their knife into the very vitals of democracy by their modern methods of switching and stealing ballots. I know not but what there may be wrong-doing ia the Liberal-Comservative party, but what Icondemn the Liberal party for is that while such illedoings were striking & blow at the very vital part of democracy, at its very life, by tampering with the ballot, the Liberal leaders, instead of pun~ i-hing these men in itsown party who

participated in those vile frauds, have screened the culprits from the law and prevented investigation ‘into their con- duct.”

AGRICULTURAL TEACHING,

(Montreal Gazette.)

In connection with the the interesting experiment of manual training in our elementary schoole, initiated by Prof. Robertson through the generosity of Sir William Macdonald, it might be well to consider the possibility of attempting eome auch scheme of general agricultural training as has been establisbed in France and tried on asmaller scale ia England. It has long been felt by British educational experts tbat the whole system of elemen- tary education is directed to preparing children and teachers for the complex and artificial life of the towns; but the diffi. culty hasbeen to findany practical remedy which would tend to lessen the deplorable drain of the country population. At Bos- combe andin the Wye Valley attempts have been made towards an education which would have more to do with the open air and country life. The children are encoureged to have little gardens of their own, to take long walks, and to in» terest themselvesin plavts and insects, Of course, this can ouly be done by a specially qualified teacher, and it bas only been done in @ few instances, whrrea man has worked outa little echeme of agricultural education volun- tarily and on his own initiative In France the teaching is more systematic The teachers are regularly trained during their college course, so that when they take schools they will be prepared to

give agricultural instructiorg Te system of agricultural training for teachers isthus set fourth: Firet year

students assist the gardener in bis ordin~ ary work; second year students perform certain experimests with chemical man- ures under the professor of ecience, are taught grafting by the professor of agri- colture, and fruit and vegetable culture by the gardener; third year students are taught to analyse soils and manures, have further instruction in grafting and pruns ing, aod are taken to visit farms, nurser- ier; and similar institutions, Iv addition to this, third year students each have a separate plot which they cultivate un- der the direction of the gardener, and which is divided into five equares for straw berries; potatoes, scorzouera, cabbage and flowere, The students are said to take a keen interest in their gardening, and the scheme has been generally pro- nounced successful.

In the schools all the children re- ceive agriculture! instruction. Up to 1897 it was a kind of extra subject, but itis now part of the regular currricu- lum, and must be taken successfully before the pupil can receive the certifi» cate of primary instruction, which en~ titles him to go to work. Two theo- ret'cil lessons are given each week, fol- lowed by the practical work in'the garden, budding, grafting, pruning, ‘planting, etc, Ailtbe trees and vines grafied by the pupils are *theirowm property, and they take them to their homes.,Once a mon.b, from May to September, visits are paid to nurseries and farms, while a welk on holi- day afternoon‘is made the occasion for colp lecting plants andjinsects, or fora lesson in land eurveying. Each child has a col- lection of dried plants, which are studied from various points of view, and their beneficial or harmful properties ex plained. In the echoo] museum, to which the children contribute, there are 150 varieties of insects, classified either ac- cording to their good qualities or accord- ing te tbe injury they doto (1) the vine, (2) cereals, (3). vegetables, (4) fruit trees, (5) forest trees, (6) forage plants, and (7) rose trees and flowers.

It is a question whether it is wise to take up time by impartirg the elements of botany ‘and entomology. The school i not the place to learn even the beginning ef _ scientific agriculture. What should be arrived atis the arous. ing of interestin outdoor life, and the simplest agricultural operations: If a boy were interested in the growing of corn and the bees and the birds, he would he less likely to fiad country !ife dull and seek ex citement in the distractions of the city, which are often foolish’ and sometimes worse.

THE DAILS . ee ~ 1 AvonD Wide THE PATRIOT. THE DAILY BXAMINER|* *™? "™*

To the Editor of the Patriot,

Sir,—Permit a farmer and a former admirer of Sir Louis Davies to offer a few remarks on your editorial of August

Ia} regard to the benefits conferred: there io be some difference o opinion. :

You say we bave @ new Winter steamer. We alsohad one when Sir Louis Davies Was 1D Opposition, and she did not require cecommeadations ae to her abiitity.

As to the straightening of our railway may I ask how much it has lessened the ine racer§?

Eben you #ay a railway has been built ‘o Beltast and Marray Harbor. Sir, thie a ao exiracrdipary statement. It is fully forty miles from Southport to Murray Harbor. Eleven miles of railway are beiag graded from Muich’s Point to Vil- ege Green. Cal! that @ eubstantial bene- fit if you lke.

You say the wents of the provinces are beiag attended tO ina epeedy and judi- cious manner. How is it then that a great portion of the money voted at the Inst session was merely a revote ?

Now, Mr. Editor, I would have the farmers of this provisce take the list of civil servants and compare the ealaries of these with the incomes they and their families are able to derive from their farms. AndI would alse have them re- member that Sir Louis made a motion to thie effect : “That owing to the prosperity of the times the civil : servants have eo increase of their statutary allowance,” Has not Sir Louis relatives and imme- diate friends in thecivil service ?

I bave nodoubt the farmers in the Third District of Queen’s will remember

is likely

mightinsult his supporters by taking his seat on the floor of the House for an Lour end leaving them unrepresented for the rest of the time.

You speak of the proud position which Sir Louis oceupies, and of the lustre shed upon thie province by the honors of the Diamond Jubilee. Now the lustre which the farmers of this province desire most is the lustre of dollars and cents, that the purchasing power of a. dollar may be greater tham ithas been. When we ean obtain farm machinery, biader twine, cement, sugar, bardware and all necese saries of the same quality at a less price instead of at a greater it will be unneces« sary for you, Mr. Editor, to occupy twe columns of your valuable space in calling the people’s attention to the benefits which they have received, for they will meet these every day.

I would like to refer to some other matters in this connection but do not want to occupy too much ef your space,

BABOO ENGLISH.

Examples of the quiint English written by Hindoo and other Indian clerks have, from time to time, fourd their way into the press, and the following letter is about as amusing as anything we have seen in print. Webardly supposed that the fame of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pille for Pale People had spread so faramong the not very pale inhabi‘ants of the Indian Em- pire, but apparently their advertisements bave penetrated sufficiently far to suggest to one enterprising native the desirability of evtering the company’s service. The jadicious intimation that this gentleman’s ailments only commence after business houre is especially amusin?.

Catcutra, Nov 7th, 1899.

Honored Sir,—I can’t help but to take it to your kind notice, that fom greatly euftering from a bad atiack of fever to my syatem, Last fortnight I have beenin a hospital, but I got no relief. Though somewhat cured, yet that’s nothing. The doctors here told that I shall eoon witbin six months get paralysis. I am now 19 years old, the case would be very severe to. Don’t leave me _ hopeless, do try kindly. ae don’t get any selief from it. It is sure no doubt, I eball commit Qeuicide for I can’t bear this horrible torture. By day I live alright, as an ordinary person. I do jeverythiag, but as night falis I get into my goed and keep whole night in agony. I have nobody in this world neither have I gota penny. If you would kindly take me to you,and keep me under your treatment, 1 shall be much benefited and so highly obliged to you for life as I can’t’speak Out; you shall be the

saviour of my life. I pray you hear‘ily, kindly rescue me from this horrible pain. Do tome as you wou'd do

were you my father. Oh Lord, look over me to your wretched son, whe is now go- ing todie in agony. Yeuasre great and rich, we are wretched and poor; if you don’t look over us like father and mother in this greatest danger, our case is fatal; we get nobody to say. Bekind enough anddo stand by me and take me as father ofmy own. It is very verysimple thing for you. I promise you, I shall work in your office Sor 9 hoursa day, faithfully aa I shal] land there jree of charge. Kind- ly excuse me for the treuble that that you shall take for.me- Have mercy ov meas yeur Own son. Save me, save me, please. Reply me very kindly and soon’

I have the rouor to be, your most af- fectionate and ever obedient.

Belief that Russia has Proposed Peace

Negotiations.

Lenpon, Aug. 30.—Diplomatic circles in London appear to be satisfied that Russia has either directly sent circular notes to the powers proposing the open~ ing of peace negotiations or bas reached an agreement with the United States in‘ regard to the basis on which the Governs ment at Washington shall take initiative action, on the ground that the United States has no entanglements, like Manchuria, caleulated to arouse the suspicions of the powers. Nothing definite, however, seems to be known at the legations in London except Russia’s anxiety to end the prevailing conditions as speedily as possible, though the opinion isexpressed that Russia be-
