On Monday evening, March 23rd, -i most enjoyable time was spent at the residence of Hugh D. MacGillivray, Kirk Hill, on the eve of liis departure for the Canadian Northwest.

Mr. George McIntosh, after being moved to the chair, in a few well chosen words as to the object of the gathejing, called on Mr. K. D. Mac- Lead, who read the following address, while Mr. A. W. Clark made the pre- sentation ;

To Mr. Hugh D. MacGillivray. Esteemed Friend,—Your friends and

neighbors having learned of your de- termination to leave this locality and take up your abode in the West, take this opportunity at your intended de- parture from our midst, to express our feelings of regret that you are no longer to remain among us.

Let us assure you on this occasion, of our full appreciation of the manner in which you have discharged your obligations as a friend and neighbor.

Of your worthy helpmate, Mrs. Mac- Gillivray, who has been your devoted partner for a number of short years, we would beg to record our admira- tion and assure her that we grieve to see her go.

Throughout the future, which we trust may long be yours to enjoy, our sincerest wishes are that the richest blessings of life may be yours, endow- ed with the.mantle of prosperity.

Trusting that the accompanying small token of our regard may be as willingly received as it is cheerfully given, we commend yourself and fami- ly to the care of the Great Physician, and trust that providence may abun- dantly shower on your life’s choicest blessings and that at some future time our wishes may be gratified by giving you a Highland welcome to our midst.

Believe us worthy friend. YOUR WELL WISHERS.

Mr. MacGillivray then feelingly re- plied for what had been done on his behalf, after which Mr. Miles Mac- Millan, in his usual pleasing manner, rehearsed many of the sterling quali- ties of our host, as also did Mr. John M. MacLeod.

Short and pointed speeches were de- livered by Messrs. D. A. MacGillivray, K. D. MacLeod, Donald MacLennan and James Golden.

The remainder of the evening was pleasantly wiled away with vocal and instrumental music.

She was born in Glenelg, Scotland, in 1838, and came to Canada with her father when only 14 years of age and has resided per- manently in the Township of Kenyon for over fifty years.

Dr. Wilson conducted the services at the house and the Rev. Mr. Cameron, pastor of the Presbyterian Church, officiated at the grave.

The average newspaperman, whether manied or otherwise, enters a millin- ery shop with about the same amount of trepidation and feeling of utter helplessness as one who arrays to fathom the mysteries of the Turkish maze.

To the unsophisticated, whose cra- nium never sported anything beyond the range of a Christy or Fedora, the many hiied and delicate creations which meet liis gaze, lead him to ex- claim that “even Solomon in all his gloi-y was not arrayed like one of these.”

The Alexandria millinery shops had most successful spring openings and the displays made by them were most creditable, and demonstrated the ex- cellent taste possessed by our millin- ers.

, MISS A. L. JOHNSTON.

Here you will find a daintily arrang- ed collection of the lajpM London, Paris and New York styles in ladies’ headwear, that will satisfy the tastes and accommodate themselves to,the purchasing power of all. With her bridal hats are a specialty. The n>im- ber of her customers is steadily in- creasing.

Across the street will he found the

MISSES McDONELL who have catered to a large and stead- ily increasing trade for years. They study the wants of their customers, and then honestly endeavor to meet the same. This year, their display of millinery is of exceptional merit.

A. MARKSON.

The millinery department of the Stone Store, under the superinten- dence of Miss Lane, is the mecca for many ladies in Alexandria and vicin- ity. In common with the other shops in town, a visit to the Stone Store will repay any and all ladies.

TEST THE eapaeiTY When you buy a Sharpies Tubular you not only

get a separator that skims more closely thaa others, runs easier than others, is more convenient than others, but you get a machine that will do more work for you than is claimed for it. THE TUBULAR WILL ALWAYS SKIM MORE

THAN ITS RATED CAPACITY. You can buy cheaper separators than the TuhuVar';

that is, cheaper in price but not in value. ïhey are sold cheap because they are cheap ; cheap in con- struction, cheap in principle, and must be sold cheap or not at all. However, when you test the capacity of these cheap machines you find that you did not get what you thought you were buying. The Tubular costs a little more perhaps, but it’s worth more and vou get more value for your money when you buy a Tubular than you do from any of the cheap separat- ors. Quality and Capacity are what count.

That the sacred concert last week was greatly enjoyed and appreciated is becom- ing more and more evident and is a source of great gratification to the committee who had the matter in charge. Many prophi- oied that such a programme would be

beyond a country audience, but either they are mistaken in their judgement or else the audience was an exceptional one, is quite evident from the ehorus of praise heard on all sides. That people who hap- pen to live outside a city should be deemed incapable of appreciating the best in music or any other art, is a grave mistake. Given a people with healthy minds and instincts, all that is necessary to show them an adequate representation of the best and they will recognize it and to a large degree appreciate it.

KIRK HILL Being that your usuarcorrespondent ia

not very punctual your scribe took upon him to get a few items.

It is doubted by many whether those harbingers of spring had not made a mis- take when they appeared so early bnt facts speak louder than words. The beautiful weather of the last few days is testimony sufficient to dispel all doubts and more than that additional proof that fine weath- er has come to stay ia bad in the fact that the Pied band masters are blowing their prelimenary notes.

It is current in local circles, that the usual correspondent of our contempary, the “Glengarrian” has decided to^opcrate a printing press in our vicinity. He has as a prelimenary rented a near by. ball and promises to do jobs right “chepe.”

Previous to the departure from our midst of Hugh D McGillivray, one of our ener- getic and industrious farmers, for the west, a banquet was held.

The evening was pleasantly passed with songs and speeches, after which all dispersed to their homes, consoled by the fact that Glengarry’s loss would be given to the west. The departed have the well wishes of a great circle of friends and acquaintances.

Poor Pro?«{>g:cts lield Out to llitt Depositors

in tlie Defunct Anderson /flTate

Hank at OakTille.

Oft'cvillc, March 30.—The dep-osi- lors in the defunct Andcr.son & Son's private bank met the inspectors SaU urday at the town hall. There were 125 present who had money invested with the Andersons. John McDon- ald, chairman of the committee ap- pointed to investigate the roU'dition of the bank and look after the inter- ests of the depositors goncrally, was present. At 2.30 o’clock the chair- man called the meeting to order.

The secretary, W. S. Davis, was called upon to read the minutes of the previous meeting. Mr. Davis’ re- port contained the records of the happenings since December ‘.7, last year, when the bank closed its doors, owing depositors in the community §117,000.

A report was read setting forth what had transpired since they last met. It was stated that the inspec- tors had found a surplus of $4,769 over the bank’s .statement, made up by general semiitics $2,587^ and se- curities in Oakville properties amounting to $575. They also found that property on Oakville val- ued at $8,000 could bo roalijjcd on. This property was now in E, K. Scott’s name, but owned by C. An- derson. To get possession of this asset, the inspectors thought ‘legal proceedings would be necessary.

An examination of C. AV. Anderson and his son failed to disclose any further information. Doth swore positively that nothing was held back. The gentlemen appointed to investigate find that the C. W. An- derson & Son failure was due to speculation in stocks and unwise in- vestments at Palmerston and other places.

The piivatc assets of O. W. Ander- son arc $650 and E. B. Anderson $1,000, of which none can l^e got for the depositors, as the law holds that prior claims shall be satisfied. The prior claims exceed the amount hold l\v each of the Andersons.

The rumor that the Dank of Ham- ilton had ofTcrecl .$10,000 towards settling the hi sine; s is without truth. So say the insj:c.‘tors.

Mr. John Young moved that the inspectors, i ssignee and solicitor be given power to a't as the represen- tative of the depositors to confer with tb'' Dank of TTauiilton and oth- ers inteiested os their solicitor nay fiom time to time advise.

The matter of Mrs. Anderson’s dower was dircu.«sed at length. Ac- cording to mortality figures this was estimated to he worth $400. Mrs. Anderson would not, however, give a release for less than $8,00(7.

Sets a Lecturer Right.

Ottawa, March 30.,—Prof. Bracy of Vassal* College, lectured before the Ottawa Literary and {Scientiric So- ciety, Saturday night, on the New- foundland French Shore question. He took the Ficnch side of the contro- versy throughout, claiming that un- der the declaration which followed the treaty of Versailles in 1783 the rights of the French were fixed and exclusive. For this reason he thought the Newfoundlanders were trying to oust the French. The New- foundlandeis would refer the matter to arbitration, he believed, but that Britain usually got the worst of it in arbitration.

^ir Louis Takes Issue.

Sir Louis Davies, who was in the audience, took issue with this state- ment. He said England had partici- Iialed in 75 cases of arbitration. Of these she had lost 18, had wholly gained 25 and in 32 she had been awarded the piedominance of power. Sir Louis further reminded Prof. BraCq that all territorial rights in Newfoundland belonged to Great Bri- tain. He protested also against the unfair statements by the United States press of Canada’s claims in the Alaska boundary dispute.

Railway Consolidation.

The bill to amend and consolidate the law rc.spec.ting railways has been j)iintcd and distributed. It is of great lengih, containing not less than 104 j)ages. The provisions creating a board of rêiilway commissioners are tlie most interesting in the bill, and al, hough they ha\e already been ex- plained in general terms, there are some details which have not yet be. n published.

3 he interpretation contains such definitions as the following:— ‘'The exiucssion toll or rate moans and in- cludes any toll, rate or charge made for the c. riiage {)f any traffic, oi’for the coilociiou, loading, unloading or d( livery of goods, or for waivhoufr- ing or wharfage, or other sources incidental to the business of u car- rier. The expression undue prefor- enco means and includes an undue preference, or an undue or unreason- able prejudice or disadvantage in any respect, in favor of or against any person or particular class of per- sons, or any particular description of traffic.'*

VThat Commlsiiion Blay Do.

The board is given authority to make regulations with rcsoect to the following matters:—Ijmiting the of speed at which raiway trains «wf loconioiives may be run m city, to'vn or village, or in any ctimff of cities, town.s or villages described in any regulation, and if the board thin, s lit, the rate of speed withlh certain described portlon.s of any city, twon and village, and allowing another rate of speed in other por- tions thereof, which rate of spo«I shall not in any case exceed six miles an hour, unless the track is Iiro; ei ly iirotccted; with respect to thj use of steam whistle* within any ciiv, town and village, and allowing thereof: with respect to the method and means of passing from one car to another, either inside or over- head, and for the safety of railway employes while passing from one car to another, and for the coiifjling of ears; requiring proper shelter to be iro.ided for all railway employes when on duty or awaiting duty;57-58 V.C 53, C.l, A.M.; requiring the use on any engine of such nettings, screens, grates and other devices, and the use on any engine or car of such appliances and precautions as, in the of inion of the board, may be necessary and most suitable to les- sen or prevent danger from fire; re- quiring the use of such rolling stock, apparatus, appliances, signal meth- ods, devices, structures and works upon tho railway, as shall provide means for the proper protection of property, of tho employes of the company, and of the public, with re- spect to any matter or thing wjiich the board may, consistent with the powers vested in it by this act, and net otherwise provided herein, deem noccsqiry and advisable. The judg- ments of other courts in questions of fact are not to be binding upon the commis.sionors where jurisdiction is not to be affected by collateral suits. 'The board’s finding upon questions of fact is to 1)0 conclusive.

Compliment to Sir I.oal> Davies,

The presentation to Sir Loui.s Davies, former Minister of Marine and Fisheries, and now a justice of the Sui)reme Court of Canada, of a group photograph of heads of the branches of the dejiartment, took place in the present Minister’s room Saturday. Messrs, MacKinnon and Hughes, members from Prince Ed- ward Island, were also present. Lieu- tenant-Colonel Gourdeau, Deputy Minister, made the presentation.

Sir Louis Davies in reply expres.sed the jileasure it gave him to receive such a handsome collection of por- traits of tlie gentlemen who were heads of the different branches of tho departim-nt during the time he pre- sided over it.

He was proud to know the finances of Canada were in such a prosperous condition that he might hope to see their services recognized in a tan- gible way.

SCOTCHMEN PROTEST. Desire to Give Sir Hector MacDonald »

National Funeral—Hundred» Gathered

and Placed Wreaths on the Coffin.

London, March 30.—The despatch of the remains of Major-General Mac- Donald, who conunitted suicide in Paris, to Scotland last night by train, was the occasion for a re- markable demonstration owing to tho fact that his widow had decided that the burial shall take place at 6 o’clock in the morning, immediate- ly after tho arrival of the body at Edinburgh.

IIundre<ls of Scotchmen, represent- ing the Highland societies, and sev- eral Scotch members of Parliament, gathered on the platform at the King’s Cross Pailway Station here. Most of the Scotchmen wore their national costumes, wreaths were placed on the coffin in the name of different clans and the pipers played national dirges as the body was en- trained.

All attempts to iiersuade the widow to delay the interment and permit the Highlanders to arrange for a na- tional funeral in the Highlands hav- ing failed, a large number of .influen- tial Scotchmen adjourned to the ho- tel in the railway station and held a mooting of protest.

Tho authorities in that city are now waiting word from Toronto as to what is to be done with him. In the meantime much mystery sur- rounds the movements of the origi- nal Boer general of that name. lie has been having troubles; and, ac- cording to a letter to Col. Hughes, he may have suicided. No news of him has been received since he wrote the letter to the man that was in- strumental in his capture on the veldt.

NEVER ASKED ANYTHING.

During a conversation Mr. J. L. Wil- son had with the News on Friday- evening last, that gentleman took ex- ception to the following item which appeared in our Ottawa Letter last week :

“Mr. J. L. Wilson is here daily,.and is reported to be lobbying for some situation under the Goveanment.”

Mr. Wilson says that there is not a vestage of truth in the above, that he had been going to Ottawa ever since 1896, spending several months each year in the parliamentary library. He further stated that he never asked anything for himself, relatives nor friends from a Liberal Government.

A KEEN DISAPPOINTMENT.

“Kick if you are playing football,” is good sound advice, but to kick be- cause you’re told to, or to gratify some disappointed political aspirant, is poor policy.

To many in this county, and espe- cially those resident in and about Alexandria, the action of R. A. Prin- gle, M.P. for Cornwall and Stormont, in opposing the grant for the Alexan- dria post oiBce, though utterly harm- less in its effect.was4 keen disappoint- ment, for they con#d«r«ii,'âwd:>âi|ÿiitiI|;4 too, that the intihdM^ which has for Mr. Pringle and the plope**o^ 'GÎeh- garry, would warrfAMbem,^ec^ing more generous treatmeril at his hands.

However, the reason for this sudden reversion of feeling is not far to seek, more especially when one realizes that the member for Cqpjwall and his con- stituents have not kept tap on the material progress of Glengarry in gen- eral, and Alexandria in particular.

The time was, a few years ago, when this county was represented by a Con- servative in the Federal House, and a Conservative Government in power. At that time, “stagnation” was writ- ten across many of our industries, in bold letters. Our population was then practically at a standstill. Progress was an unknown quantity. These were the days of Conservative rule, and the standard by which they judge of the needs of Alexandria.

Happily times have changed. Glen- garry elected a Liberal member, CaOr ada returned a Liberal Government,' and our ex-M.P. took a step west and south. In common with all other parts of the country, Alexandria felt the throb of renewed industrial life. New and substantial banking and business houses yrere erected to meet the requirements of the increased trade. Our manufacturing plants were compelled to increase their capacity and further add to their number of employees, and our popu- lation has grown to such an extent that we have thrown off the swadd- ling clothes of a village and been raiè- ed to the dignity of a town.

Such, in a measure, has been the transformation in Alexandria âuring the past six or seven yeârs, and if our neighbors to the west have found the pace too fast, why do they not hitch on to the car of progress, and, instead of being a brake, let them awake from their lethargy and take their place in the forward march.

Alexandria is going ahead,and when we get that new post ofBce, we won’t feel a bit angry, even although some of Cornwall’s citizens come here and buy stamps.

Our Ottawa Letter. The past week has seen a few notice-

able oases of divided authority among the tariff tinkers. On Tuesday a de- putation from the Farmers’ Associa- tion waited on the Government de- manding : “No increase in the Tariff, Lancaster’s Cattle Guard Bill, no Land

Grant nor Bonus of any kind to any Railway.” And one of the speakers of this deputation, who is à stock- holder in the Farmers’ Binder Twine Factory, of Brantford, before he left for home, was asking for a duty of 124 per cent, to be put on twine. This is the company which paid 60 per cent'.', 100 per cent., 90 per cent., and the past year 10 per cent, upon its capital stock, an amount of 260 per cent, in thrîsc years.

On Wednesday the Beel Root Sugar deputation—one of the largest of the session—the largest number being farmers from central Ontario, waited on the finance Minister and asked for duties of 50 per cent, upon the raw niatei-ial and 20 per cent, upon the refined sugar.

There were about 80 members of the deputation, and Mr. Charles E. Lundy, of Newmarket ; Rogers, of York ; Somers, of Kent ; Dance, of Elgin ; Sturgisi. of Dresden ; Fraser, of Essex ; McKinney, of Elgin ; put the farmers’ case strongly for high duties, and others followed asking that the ma- chinery be admitted duty free.

Finance MinisterFielding remarked : “It is strange that yesterday there was a deputation of farmers here pro- testing against any duty, and they claimed to speak for all the farmers of Ontario, being members of the Farm- ers’ Association.”

A voice—“But they do not represent the farmers of Ontario.”

“Well, they claimed to do so,” re- plied Mr. Fielding. And se the depu- tations come daily and claim to be the ONLY people worth hearing^

C. H. Mallory, President ; W. L. Smith, Sec’y ; and an executive com- mittee of five, namely, L. B. Annis, C. A. Mallory, J. F. Beam, J. L. Wil- son and W. K. McLeod, represent the Farmers’ Association, who at once claim to speak for “practically all the farmers of Canada,” to judge from Mr. Smith’s address.

I notice the Toronto newspapers are dealing hardly with these gentlemen claiming to represent the farmers of Ontario. A circular issued over Mr. Smith’s signature as Seci’etary Farm- ers’ Association, on March 4th, deals with the Grand Trunk Pacific scheme, as talked about in the papers, and the deputation the other day also talked about it.

As the C. P. R. have such large in- terests in the Northwest and the en- try of any other road means competi- tion to them, it is currently reported in the press that some of the orators of this Association are now in the em- ploy and pay of the 0. P. R. in the present agitation.. ,It is another instance of what any

^{^bn or party, or organization, must pïÿspt wlien they come before the

' ‘i ■ —

j A<ilurge delegation waited on the Government in the Railway Commit- tee Room, asking the Government to build the Georgian Bay Ship Canal, and farmers were a large pai't of this delegation.

This has been farmers’ week, and it is a sign of the great interest taken in public questions, and it the best sign for the interests of the country, which has developed so markedly during the past few years.

Last session Mr. Lancaster voted to await the report of the Cattle Guard Commission and the bringing down of a Government measure, but he did not wait for the report and forced to a vote, that his present Bill be made law without further discussion. It was voted (on a new assurance from the Minister of Railways that a Bill would be brought down) to place Mr. Lancaster’s Bill upon the Railway Committee.

Mr. Bickerdike’s Bill to prohibit the importation, manufacture and sale of cigarettes is before the House, and is quite likely to become law.

The long born gerrymander is now nearly being done away with, and a week or so from now the Redistribu- tion Bill is likely to become law and the old gerrymander will be a thing of the past.

A matter of interest and notable re- mark in the House, was the attitude taken by R. A. Pringle, M.P. for Stor- mont, in regard to the fierce opposi- tion he put up against the vote for the Alexandria post office. ^

Mr. ' Schell stood to his guns and backed Alexandria and Glengarry against all the attacks made on the town and people of the county. Why Mr. Pringle should be so ready to make gratuitous and wanton attacks on Alexandria, was on all sides the cause for remark. The vote went through, however, and $17,000 stands to the credit of the Alexandria post office, which will, no doubt, soon be a reality, and the citizens of Alexandria may thank Mr. Schell for it.

The session is now under full work- ing order and matters of interest will transpire very frequently from now on.

Washington, March fiO.—At the in- stance OÎ the I’resulent, Admiral DeAVey called by altr-dintment at the Athite House Saturday and made a full explanation of a recent newspa- j or interview, in which the admiral was quoted as saying the Caritihean Sea manoeuvres were an '‘object les- son to the Kaiser, more than to any other power,’’ The admiral assured the president that he liad no inten- tion of reflecting in the interview up- on Germany, her Emperor or her navy, and that tvhile the statement» credited to him were substantially as he said, he neglected to caution the intervietver against quoting him.

Afterward the admiral declined to make any statement for publication. ,Af the White House it Was stated that the admiral’s explanation was •satisfactory to the President. It is net believed that further official no- tice will be taken of the incident.

DEWEY TALKED TOO MUCH.

Cfürinan Press Criticises Admiral's Words on tho Kaiser’s Navy.

Berlin, March .30.—The German Foreign Office officials say they do not believe that a diplomatic inci- dent will result from the recent in- terview with Admira! Dewey (pub- lished in a newspaper of Newark, N. J., and containing references to the German navy and German Emperor.)

They Remember Cosplilaii.

The interview with Admiral Dewey has angered the newspapers here. Even those of usually moderate tone I’cfer to it in a hitter manner. For instance, the 'Vossischc Zeitung says:

"The Amcri.-an navy evidently is suffering from a disease of infancy— lack of modesty. Its leader evinces something unspeakalily immature. One can onl,v stand amazed that such intensified .sclf-complacency sliould take root in a peojilc of Ger- manic origin. Such behavior would not excite wonder if it had occurred in some Central or South American repuldic, or in Hayti. Admiral Dew- ey is a worthy imitator of Captain (now Kear-Admiral) Coghlan, who, at a Now York Club, gave a boast- ful ’.oast bristling with insults to Germany, and warmed up the e.x- I’lodcd story that Admiral Dewey compelled the German fleet, at Man- ila, to lay to when it refused to re- spect tho blockade. Captain Cogh- la 1. sceiu.s, how’ever, to ha’e spoken from Admiral Dewey’s own heart.”

The Tagcbiatt .secs in Admiral Dexe,y's quoted words confirmation of "its official repeated ' assertion that til,’ United States' easy victm-y over Slain has produced a certain •xaggerated military self-conceit.”

TThat the Annual Report Will ShoTV at Wednesday’s Meeting:.

Ottawa, March 30.—The report of the Dominion Kifle Association, which will be presented at the aunu- td mooting on Wednesday, is quite the most up-to-date publication in the history of the association, con- taining, as it does, in addition to the annual statistical and financial data, a creditable series of half-tone engravings, illustrative of rifle events during the year, such as the contest for the Palma Trophy, and portraits of loading riflemen and j)atrons. . Among the latter are the Governor- General and the Minister of Militia.

The receipts of the association in 1902 from afllliated associations, 24 in all, were S412, or 348 less than the previous year. Receipts from members' fees were 3884, while spe- cial donations from individuals amounted to 31,765; an Increase of 31,123, Donations from Canadian banks amounted to $800; from Cana/- dian manufacturers were received $304. The cash prizes distributed totalled 38,086, an increase of $945 for 1902. Bislcy team expenditure was 34,843. The total expenditure amounted to $23,245, leaving a bal- ance of $236 to the association's crc«^lit.

The report contains a reference of regret to the death of Lord Dufferin, a former patron, and of H. S. How- land and Patrick Hughes of Toron- to, the a life member and the other a well-known competitor at the annual matches.

do not employ any agents or salesmen. When you want one of our Pianos or Organs you pay the actual coat of construction and our small wholesale profit. The profit is small because we sell hundreds of Pianos and Organs yearly. Most retail stores sell no more than twelve to twenty Pianos annually, the same with Organs, and therefore must charge from $50 to $75 profit on each. You can calculate this yourself. The lithographs in our catalogues give an accurate description of each instrument, thus it is easy for a prospective customer to purchase by correspondence. We sell on easy payments and take your old instru- ments in exchange. The instrumental attachment, operated by the third pedal, used on our pianos, imitates perfectly the tone of the roand* olio, guitar, harp, zither and banjo and other instruments. New Pianos, containing third pedal and every modern improvement, guaranteed to last a life time, at $200, $250, $B50, $400, $450. New Cabinet Organs, with Mirror, $50, $75 and $135.

Our Toronto Letter. Press Gallery, Parliament Buildings,

Toronto, March 30.—This week the Legislature is debating the adjourn- ment of the House. The Government wants to adjourn while the investiga- tion of the Gamey charges goes on be- fore the Commission of Judges, on the ground that it would scarcely bo de- cent, or indeed practicable, to proceed with the ordinaiy business while such grave, sensational charges remained undisposed of. The Conservatives do not want to adjourn, not out ot any devotion to the business of the Pro- vince, but so that they can talk while the trial is going on. They would like nothing better than a programme which would include the examination of witnesses in the forenoon before the Commission, followed by a session of the Legislature in the afternoon, when in some pretext or other the evidence would be discussed—contort- ed this way and that, exaggerated and made the foundation for all sorts of wild speculation. This talk would go out to the country in the same papers as the evidence taken by the Commis- sion, and what was talk, and what was evidence, would easily become confused in the minds of the public. The Opposition can scarcely carry a point based on such a motive, in fact it is probable that before this is in print, the House will be adjourned.

During last week there was a change of tactics apparent in the speeches of the Conservative members. The idea of the Gamey charges that had got abroad in the country was, and pro- bably is yet, simply that Mr. Gamey charges that he was given $4,000 as a bribe by Mr. Stratton. This is not what the Opposition intended. Their cry is that the charge is not one of bribery, but one of conspiracy, an in- tricate, deep woven affair, implicating practically all of the Cabinet Ministers on the one hand, and several other Conservative members besides Mr. Gamey on the other hand.

Evidently it was to bolster up this conspiracy charge, that the names of other Cabinet Ministers, besides Mr. Stratton’s, were introduced into the Gamey statement. But, what are the charges against the other Ministers ? Mr. Latchford is charged witli reply- ing courteously to a leUer from Mr. Gamey, on the subject of colonization I'oads. Mr. Latchford admits the charge, and is ■willing to bear full responsibility for that lettei-. Mr. Gibson is mentioned once to say thdt an improper proposal was made to him, which he immediately rejected. The Premier is charged with having received a letter from Mr. Gamey— heinous offence—which the Premier, with Scotch canniness, never answer- ed. Mr. Harcourt is not mentioned in the statement by name, but in one of D. A. Jones’ letters, an “Acting Man- ager” is referred tof and this, the Con- servatives say, refers to Mr. Harcourt, who was acting Premier during the summer. Mr. Davis is mentioned casually in some reported conversa- tions, and the mere mention of his name is twisted into a charge. The only member not “charged” is Mr. Dryden, Minister of Agriculture, but Mr. Foy’s amendment gravely asser t- ed that “suspicion was cast on him,” at the reading of which both sides of the House laughed heartily.

So much for that side of the “con- spiracy.” On the other side it is alleg- ed the purpose ot the conspiracy was not to buy up Mr. Gamey alone. Mr. Sutherland, the young Conserva- tive farmer, who was elected in the strongly Liberal riding ot South Ox- ford, says he was “approached,” but that he spurned the approach. Well, a statement like this is olsoap. And then there is Dr. Reaume, who was offered the Speakership. This corres- pondence last week contained the story of Dr. Reaume’s temptation in the British American Hotel, Windsor. The whole story has since come out in the House and has caused no little amusement.

Dr. Reaume ia a French-Canadiau, jolly, good-natured and—vain. He was born into a large family, who lived on a little farm in the siibuWis of Windsor. When but a lad, he at- tracted the attention of a wealthy couple in Windsor, who not having been blessed with bairns of their own, assumed a parental attitude to as many of other people’s children as they could. They told this little Reaume lad,that if he would be a good boy and work hard, they would see him through. So he was a good boy, and worked hard, and came to Toron- to University, and the first thjie he wrote M.D. after his name, was a proud day in the homes of all the Reaume connection, which is no small one either, in Essex County. Tears went by, and it eanie to pass, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and two. that the Conserva- tives of North Essex wanted a man who could dust “Billy” McKee, the Liberal whip in the House. Dr. Re- aume wasn’t much of a Conservative, but he was the biggest French-Cana- dian in Essex County, so the nomina- tion was thrust upon him, and tlie Doctor’s clothes had to be let out an inch around the^ chest. Of course, he was elected. The Reaumes were all out before 10 o’clock, and there was

uncle this family, and auntie that family—.and big ones too—why, they simply swamped the polls. Whitney and Ross ? Who were they ? They didn’t know ; they only knew that they were going to make the Doctor an M.P.P. And they did.

Fame was coming fast. But what new honor was this ? Hadn’t you heard ? Why, before the Doctor had been a member of Parliament a month, John Lee had asked him to he Speaker! Just think of that ! In a year, they would be on their knees to him, ask- ing him to accept tlie Premiership.

When ,Iohn I.«e told liis story in the House the other day, it seemed as though the Reaume bubble had been pricked once and for all. But imme- diately afterwards the Doctor arose and said that Mr. Lee had not given a truthful statement of the occurrence. Tha members began to look grave again until the Doctor detailed in all seriousness how John Lee had dangled the Speakership in front of his eyes, and had said it would give him the entre into Toronto’s four hundred. This was too much for the House, and it broke forth in uproarious laughter.

This is the humorous side of the affair, but there is a serious side. It is serious, when such an incident is used in an attempt to blacken a man or a party.

John Lee, the member who is accus- ed of dangling the Speakership and the entre to Toronto’s four hundred before Dr. Reaume’s eyes, is a big jolly farmer, who sat in the House for the first time laat session. He is the butt of many jests, especially since the Reaume story, all of which he takes good naturedly.

Mr. Gamey’s notoriety is not on the wane, in fact, it is rather increasing. Some of it, too, is not of an enviable nature. One hears many a reference to the Pug mine in conversation around town and once it has been mentioned on the floor of the House. A Markham paper unkindly remarks that Mr. Gamey is well known to many Markhamites ; that some years ago they were induced to subscribe for some of his mining stock, which did not bring them in large profits. A Cheslcy paper says that David Mc- Nickol, who w.as a Patron member of the House during the ’94-’98 term, says that this same Mr. Gamey once offered him a consideration to support Mr. Whitney. And so the yarns are spun and will probably continue to be spun, and it looks as though I he or- dinary individual is going to have a hard lime to distinguish the ti ne from the false for some time to eome.

Mr. Gamey made another '-r bis fleeting visionary appearances in ihe House on Friday night. Bef. e- i!,e votes were taken, he ro.ad a la ief oracular, mystifying statena i]i. pre- pared, says Gossip, by W r-. S. H. Blake. Some say, that tiie pm pint of that statement was that Mr. Gamey will not go before the Royal Commis- sion. Mr. Gamey will neither confirm nor deny the rumor. Indeed, his re- ticence is so complete that he will neither confirm nor deny anything these days.

Mr. Gamey and Mr. Stratton both voted. Mr. Gamey lead a statement before the division, criticiiing the commission, declaring that if his charge was altered he would repudiate tho w'hole business. He was prepared to prove the charge before ’ a. committee of the Bouse. Whether this means a refusal to go before the commission can only be conjectured, for beyond tlie state- ment Mr. Gamey will say nothing.

The day's debate was a battle of the two leaders. Premier Ross spoke an hour and a half, and con- cisely covered tho whole situation. His .speech was deliberate, argumen- tative and illuminating. He covered some of the ground previously ex- ploited, and, alter referring to the unsatisfactory history of some of tho hollow crics of tho Opposition.

Mr. Whitney spoke for two hours, reviewing some of the Premier’s arg- uments and emphasizing the points previously brought out.

There were three divisions. Mr. Foy’s amendment for li reference to the Committee on Privileges and El- ections was first disposed of. Mr. Carnegie moved a want of confidence motion, which met the same fate, and the Opposition insisted on à division on the main motion, which was caJTied without any change. Mr. Whitney wanted time to consider the evidence bill and the question of ad- journment, and promised to conclude on Monday it the members ai’e there to vote.

It seems quite probable that the commission will ..meet early next week. ^ '

The Premier’s Speecli.

When Premier Ross rose at 4.10 to close the debate for the Government there was a loud burst of applause. He hoped to show, he said, that ho still regarded the charges of the hon. raomjj)erfoK^Manitoulin..;as*l>ar talcing of the same serious character with which he had originally regarded them. It was no light matter when a member of the House charged^ an hon. gentleman with, the’ heinous ci-ime of bribery, much loss that the charges should be levelled against a member oi the Government.

Complimenting members, especially new nienibers, on both sides of tho House, on their knowledge of con- stitutional law and history, ho con- tinued: This was a most important question, but lie did not think it< h^ been treated as it would have been in the British House of Com- mons. A reflection had been cast on the honor of the whole House, and, as he understood Parliamentary usage, tho gentlemen opposite were as" niuch tho custodians of the honor of one of its members as the mem- bers b>f the Government.. That being so, he thought when tho charge was jnado b.v the juember for Manitoulin that both sides would have agreed to jirocced in the most eflcctive man- ner to vindicate the honor of the House. Nothing had so convinced him that he was taking the wise course in, removing the trial from this court as the tone of the debate. Notice tho manner in which the charges were received. They were accepted by the gentlemen opposite ns if the time had come when, by the overthrow and ruin of their po- litical opponents, they were to ride into-office. He was sorry that, hav- ing started badly., they continued badly.

Honor of tho House.

The.charges were made against the- honor of tho House, and instead of jdaciirg it in tlio hands of the cus- todian of the honor of the House ho placDd it in tlie hands of his leader. That indicated a partisan feeling. Tho leader, of tha Oppo.Bition would have best .discharged' his duty if he had said it. was a charge affecting tho honor of the House and put the document in the keeping of tho Speaker, so that he would have been, in a position to see that the investi- gation was thorough and complete. After some, deliberation the leader of the Opposition had returned tho document to the source whence he received it, as if to escape from the consequences. This was the whole •attitude of the Opposition through tho debate. There was a charge against the whole House. The mem- bers were not there as units, but as a collective bocly.

It was an old ;l^ritish principle, that an accused person must be held to be ‘innocent, until he is proven guilty, and In this case that prin- ciple seemed to be violated. That was the position taken liy the gen- tlemen opposite, to^condemn tho ac- cused befoi’e a trial. The section of the House that took that attitude was unlit, ipso facto, to try the charges. If a jury in a court were to applaud when charges against an accused person wore being read the jq^e would ask qÆiem to step d<%ii; : ' ■■

Committees Partisan.

Mr. Ross dwelt on the three modes o’ trial l)y which the charges;- could. ÎC disposed of—the Commiltoe on rriviiegcs and Elections, a select couunittee of the House, and a Roy-

al Commission,. In. the first two the conditions we;c almost u’ n i il '1 i.e Commilteo on I’rivHeps îUM’ ’''C- tions was tlie ma'-'hinoiy ol'iie ll- ish Mouse pf CoiniDons. tie : ( ion House of Cemunons iu;;! ;!o i'n- tario Logislatuve. Cor soirc uiue. 1; I it was found ineffCvti'e for uw.r.y reasons, the chief of njtifl: w s >is partisan characa'i-. ’j 1 e s cu'er

. went over the list of ci ses i a t' oy this committee at Ottawa. ; aas ii history of failure,. so far' as cating on judicial lines was con- oerned. -, . .

In f)nt,iiio the eo Hui’^e* w-s lit- tle employed. Since 1884 there had been- no rcfcicnce to that,- compiiUce, and there had been o;i ,\ one u s.‘ .where it was even i roporcd to refer it to; tjliat connnittee. It was an old .‘ method which had practically served its purpose, and a now moth-

■'Od of procedure had, been adopted. A ^'trial by judges had l orn found to

V?mincntly satisfactoi^^^ although it was true there had been some com- plaints.b,y parties who had not. spîc-. ccCdcd in obtaining'what they wàh't- od.

,Jn 1884 the Province of Ontario made an act, chapter ID of the re- vised statutes of 18D7, providing for inquiry into public matteis and pro- viding that where a member is charged with lu'jbcsry the matter may l.e taten to the judges. The speaker did not say that the House must re- fer IhTs matter to the judges because

'of that act. but it had been, placed on the statute books in 1884, and had lemained there ever since as an open door, as a guide how to deal with cases such as the present.'

He Was not taking the case from the House and he did not thinle it would be unconstitutional if he were to do so. But this was an alterna- tive course and he took it. If the act of 1884 had been unconstitution- al it Would have been disallowed by the Dominion Gov'ernment.

An Impossibility.

Honorable gentlemen opposite had described the commission as a trib- unal, of their (the Government’s) own choice. Ho denied that. It would be a tribunal agreed upon by Parlia- ment, and in this rc-spoct it was dif- ferent from some tribuirals which he referred to at some length. If it was impossible to get a fair jury from inside the House, what was there to do? They had to go out- side. Then, if they- were to go out- side, what was to be their guide? Fii’st, their own" act framed by an

.old leader of the Government, and endorsed by the best constitutional authority on the other side of the

House. Who could not trust the judges?

There was no other place for the House to go unless to a conmmssion of laymen, the Sujireme Court of Canada or judges of another pro- vince. The Government had been forced by tho actions of the gentle- men opposite to abandon all hope of justice from a committee of the House, and the people would be sat^ isfled that the investigation will have discovered the truth and dissi- pated whatevcT falsehood there might be in the charges. Ho must resent the criticisms of the gentle- men opposite that It would be a “whitewash commission,” which was an imputation on the honor of the judges. When there was tho sug- gestion as to - “loading the dice,” which was afterwards explained as not being a reference to tho judges, but to the mode of procedure.

Mr. Whitney—I never made such an explanation.

Mr. Ross—Tl^n you withdraw the explanation and leave tlie words "loading the dice.”

Continuing, Mr. Ross said that any one who shakes the confidence in tho judiciary shakes the confidence in one of the fundamental principdes of our liberties.

As to Other Charges.

They had been asked. Could other charges bo formulated? 'Ihe last clause in the commission says so. He quoted from the remarks of Sir W. R. Meredith that charges of this nature should be properly formulat- ed. The Government would be war- ranted in taking the ground that the charges of Mr. Gamey should be specifically formulated.

Then the question was asked: Could the commission report its finding? He did not know whether the judges Would report merely the evidence or a finding, but no doubt tho commis- sion would follow precedent in this respect. An attempt had been made to argue that tho scope of the en- quiry was limited. What do they want to get in that which ought not to be got in and they can't get in? the Premier asked. He knew that the Opposition would like to have an opportunity of supplying the al- most exhausted condition of their political material. That was the rea- son why the Committee on Privi- leges and Elections had been aban- doned.

The Government were taunted upon their new Liberalism, but he had hoped he would never become so con- servative that ho would not agree to changes and improvements. But what was the new Toryism? It was the same old Toryism of condemning a man Ircfoi-e he is tried; to cheer a man when he makes an attack on the honor of a member of the House; to put the political pistol to his head. Had the Provincial Secretary no rights that tho House was bound to respect. He admitted the right of Mr. Gamey to make his charge, but being so bold, he should have been bolder and placed his charge in the hands of the Sixiaker. The new Toryism was to discredit the judges; to "trust in the repetition of false- hoods for success, and to conceal its own offences.

"LeaTe It to the People.

After ent-ering a plea for a higher l)lane of politics, he said he would leave the question in tho hands of the i)eople. The Liberal party had

.been thirty years under the fierce light, and only once had a cloud hung over the House. He believed the Qaverninent would surv^v’e the .ten-

:-8ion ■ and that X the honor of ; the House would be vindicated by a com- mission, as it had been vindicated by .a commission in 1884. When that time came he hoped that both sides would let by-gones be by-gones^ and

work together for the dcvolojjincnt of the Province.

i>lr. Whltncy’8 Speoeli.

llr. Whitney said he had just list- one 1 to a most remarkable and as.o.mding speech. That the Gov- onimcnt was in sore straits was î-hown by the strange arguments ad- duced. Some of the remarks made cal’ed for notice. The Premier had said that he .welcomed new members to hi.s .‘■iclo of tho House. P7c (ATr. Whitney) would go Turthcr than this; he wcL'omed new men fo both sides of the house. He welcomed the pub- lic denunciation by the member fd*r South Brant (Air. Preston) of the scoundi e.’ism that had taken place in South Oxford.

Air. Whitriey suVd he dtd not take rcriously the insinuation that had been .made by members on the other side that tho papers entrusted to him by the member for Alanitoulin might be tampeiôd with while in his

.posftcssion: • The Government had-.-said that the

coinnuttec. would not be a calm and judicial ti ibiinal. Buf^thc committee was not a tiibimal or jury, it was a reforce, it would have to receive ev- idence and report upon it to the Hous.'i The House was the tribunal. The duties of a committee would be imp i'ilorial and partisanship would I>e the best guarantee that every fact would be brought before the notice of the House. (Opposition applause.)

He would quote the Premier's words; “The charges made against the ITo\incial Secretary and his colleagues," and again "enter on oi;r defence." These were unintellig- ible except on the hypothesis that he realized that the charges were against his colleagues and the Gov- ernme.it. The party on trial had proposed that tho House adopt a mode cf tiial drawn by themselves, and ihej' proposed to name their judges themselves. They would stand up and vote on this matter w'hen every precedent would compel them to step out and refuse to vote.

The Premier had foimd fault with the cheering- by the Opposition when the Gamhey charges were made, lie thought the members on his side were to be excused for showing their apiu’ociation when the member for Alanitoulin deTarcd that he had not de'^erted his p'arty, and had come to follow his leader.

C heertMl .’\lr. Gamey’s Rcltirn.

The Premier had deemed himself just ified in gi i.;g the matter into tJia hands of a cominissioii by the tone of the debate. Was it not slrango that 14me-honorod precedents should be abrogated and a little j.'arty spirit on Ihe Opposition side lie gi'o i as sufficient cause?

Tho Piemier had been annoyed and çaufo ho passively received the pa- pers in the case. On the day he re- ceiied them the Premier had not suggested that he knock down the mc'.nber for Manigoulin, or any al- ternative action. He would dearly have liked to have them placexi whoro he and his crew could dispose of themj Tho member for Manitoulin was looking for a safe repository for his evidence, which he was not sure might not be taken from him any evening by the spies and spotters of the Government. He gave them to him (Mr. Whitney) not thinking the risk he also ran.

It had been suggested that the pa- pers had been returned to the mem- ber for Manitoulin to give him a chance to escape tho consequences of his charges. The truth was that ho had consulted his solicitor, who had advised him to get his proofs. Ho had received them back in the samo open manner in which he gave them.

Tho I’remier had said that the Gove: nincnt did not choose the judges—that the Parliament chose the judges. Who was it that put the names of judges in the proposal now before tho House? )Vas not this a bold, unblushing, shameless attempt to deceive the Legislature and the people of Ontario? On account ‘of the attitude of the House the Pre- mier had felt compelled to take the matter outside. How had he discov- crC'J this attitude between the time when he promised a committee and the next day, when ho said it must go to a commi.ssion?

He had been charged with referring to the appointment oî a court as "loading the dice,” a reflection on the judiciary. Wluit wo had said was that ii the Government took advantage of their power to name their own tribunal they were playing with loaded dice,’ and, like all gamblers, they would find that such methods did not lead to success. He did not infer that the conduct of tho judges would bo wrong, but that the indictment that would be laid before them w-ould he restrictexi in its scope and would not satisfy the honest jieople of Ontario. The charges included every member of the Government. The resolution before the House restricted them to the Provincial Secretary, Any other charges must bo made separatorand in writing. There was an endeavor to cloud the issue.

The New Liberalism.

Mr. Whitney described tho now Lib- eralism at great length. This doc- trine Was to object to a «form when that reform happened to be proposed by gentlemen who did not happen to be of the same political stripe as themselves. He alleged instances of measures proposed by Conserva- tives being voted down and after- wards brought in as a Liberal mea- sure and carried.

Mr. Whitney justified the methods adopted by Mr. Gamey to snare tho bribers. These were the methods pursued by the Liberal members of the Legislature in 1884 to snare the men who tried to bribe them. There was no dishonor in making convic- tion sure and bringing home guilt as the member for Manitoulin had done. No man thought any less of Balfour in 1884, who died a member of the Cabinet, and no man . would think less of Mr. Gamey.

Five Counts in Indictment.

The Conservative leader arrai^ieji thé Government under five headings: That the chai'ge was not against

the Provincial Secretary alone. That the Provincial Secretary and

the other members of the Cabinet

chur-o;! !u ü no right îo ^oU* on uu question.

That Ll.e Piein er ijjomised Ihitt tho rererence would be to the Com- mittee on ih ixilegcs and PTccLioiis or a, select Cominitiec of the House.

Instead of the f>ropos(xl cominittoe, the Cromier has grantor! a commis- sion with poweis so narrow that it can only inquiie into the acts of the Provincial Secretary. The Opi)osi- tion. Air. 'Whitne.' said, had no con- fidence in any ( o.nmission that could bo issued }>y the present Govern- inont, and ho poi..ted to the West Elgin Comm' sion and the Finan- ial Commi.s.sdon as giving grounds for the statement.

Fifthly, the PiTmicr was cognizant at the tiiiie of tlu* dealings that wore in i)iogrcFS with the member for Alanitoniin. According to Air. Gainey's statement. Air. Stratton had asked him why he had alterod a letter to the Premier written at North Day and undertaking to su|>- port the Governmont. If Air. Ross had not recived this letter, how did Air. Stratton know it had been al- tered? If he had receiverl it, ho must have known of the dealings in pro- grc5S. Air. V.hitney concluded with a reference to what he tcrmcMl the slow but inevitable decay of the Liberal party since Air. Ross became its loader.

.'.Jr. ( Hiiicy Charges Conspiracy.

Mr. Gamey said he had made his statemert on the floor of the House on* hi? res{)onsibility as a member of the House, involving a charge of consjiiracy on the part of membe'S of the Government, with other jicr- sons mentioned. That was his“ charge, and so it stands before the House. Some of the accused wanttxi to alter that statement and to make it appear to be against the Pro- vincial Secretary. “1 don’t i>ro[)osc to allow them to alter that charge, and to put words into iny mouth. I made it on my responsibility as a member of the ITou.se. I have weighed that responsibility and I am jirepar- cd to accejit it. 1 am prepared to prove what 1 said, but if the per- sons against whom my charge is made altei’ it fo that it cea.scs to be my charge, then i icpudiate such action. Surely the jiosition I take is definite and can’t be misunder- stood, and 1 leave it to the House to deal with it."

The Speaker called for the "ayes" and "noes" on the amendment of Mr. Toy.

'Fhe Premier rose to say the amendment was out of oixicr. lie would not, however, pre.ss the point, hut desiied it to be entered upon the minut(.s that an objection was taken so that it could not be regarded ns a precedent.

Afr. Whitney thought it was late in the day to enter objection.

The Speaker said if tho point had been called to his attention earlier he would have bevn obliged to rule the amendment out of order.

The VoMi»g,

The first fctiuggle came on the Foy amendment to refer the charges to a coîumittco of the House. It was de- fc.itc.i, by 50 to 45. Then the ('ar- mgie amendment suffeied the same fate. Th s was to designate the Lieutenant-Oovci’nor as tVe proper }C son to select the coinmis-don and outline the scope of the trial. Pre- mier ROBS was (piick to reply that this was opial to re.^dgnation of tlio Go'c nment. Finally the original nu.ti’ n of Premier Ross prevailed— 1o refer the entire ca.se to the royal commisHnn, in effect, and the same I)ariy vote adopted it as the law of the House, the Opposition being sol- id against it.

Air. Ross moved that the address be presented to the Lieutenant-Gov- ernor by the Executive Council. This was carried without objection.

The' Premier asked the House to vote supplies for April. He asked for 834 5,000 on account. Left over.

He -asked if the Opposition would agree to a vote on Air, Gibson's bill resî>ccting evidence, the address in reply to the speech from the throne, and the proposed adjournment till Ai)ril 21.

Afr. Whitney thought there was not much time for discussion.

Air. Ross—Will wo be able to fin- ish on Alonday.

A^r. Whitney—We want to put our- selves on record, and the members may not all be hero on Alonday.

The first principle id having a g'ood garden is to have good seeds. VMthout this, no matter how good the soil, your garden will be pretty much of a failure. We have seeds grown in our own climate which we have used our- selves for k great many years and can highly recommend.

We have them in packages and in bulk to sell by ounce or pound—the cheapest way to buy seeds.

We have also a quantity <*f onion sets, better known as Dutch set8. These are grown from the black seed, in the full pulled up and put away to be transplanted in the spring the same as toppies. Everybody knows the difference in flavor be- tween a Blackseed onion and a toppy. Wa refer you to Prof. Hyde who is a practical gardener.

Dr. G. S. Tiffany returned last week from Northern Ontario, where he spent several months in the interest of the Home Correspondence School. This institution make a specialty of acade- mic and commercial instruction, and the personnel of its teaching staff in- cludes the leading educationalists in their respective branches in America. A perusal of their splendidly arranged prospectus, shows that in the prepara- tion of the several courses, the pos- sible disadvantages peculiar to almost any, or all students, have been fully considered and tlie courses qf instruc- tion so arranged as to give the best possible results. Dr. Tiffany also I'e- presents the Armour Institute of Chi- cago, the best equipped technical schooj in America, and pupils can make ar- rangements to take up a course in engineering or technical work, arrang- ed by this Institute, on practically the same basis as that arranged by the Home Correspondence School. In North Bay, Sturgeon Falls, Cache Bay and Markstay, Dr. Tiffany organ- ized large classes, and we have no doubt but that his work in Eastern Ontario, over which he has supervi- sion, will meet with the same success, as individual or national success large- ly depends on theoretical and practical knowledge.
