JULY 28, 1891.

Notes and Comments. |

In an article on “* New Zealand,” b

Professor G. M. Grant, the readers of Harper's M azine for August are introduced to a comparatively un- known country, abounding ia natural resources and unexcelled in beauty of scenery and attractiveness of climate. Professor Grant, after having made the circuit of all self-governing colonies of Cireat Britain, declares that none presents eo many points of interest in sin sll compass | as New Zealand. His paper is amply il-| justrated with representations of some of the most striking scenes in that remote cuuntry.

—Mr. Andrew Pattullo, of the Woodstock Sentinel-Review, a good Grit organ, has, been informing the delighted American editors at their annual meeting in St. Paul | that the time is near when the British | crown will no longer have a foothold in! North America, and when the press of the United States will be able to congratulate | itself upon the final extinction of British | principles, institutions and power upoa this | continent, together with the development | of republican ideas throughout its length | and breath. Perhaps Mr. Pattullo is counting his chickens of disloyalty before: they are properly hatched, and will find | that Canadians have not yet decided to re-| nounce their national manhood to please 4merican editors and lion-tail twisters. |

—In a published lecture delivered vefure the Charlottetown Young Men’s Christian! Association, in the Temperance Hall, on the evening of Thursday, 10th April, 1857, by the Rev. Diniel McCurdy, of the Presbyterian Church, the late Captain Orlebar, R. N., Presidert of the institu. | tion, inthe chair, are the following pro- phetie words :—‘* Your fair Island must be | placed more directly into contact with those

great public works which are destined at no | distant day to speed the iron horse from | Cape Breton tu Like Superior, and thence: to the shores of the Pacific Stranger | things have taken place within the memory | of man. The Straits of Northumberland | must be tuunelled and the telegrapfi wires extended from America to Europe. The ends of the earth are yet to be brought together at speaking distance for com- | mercial, social and religious purposes.”

—Ths Guardian is strangely ignorant concerr.ng the opinions of the THe Ex- AMINER as to Civic Reform and the City ill, Considering that Tue Examiner has)

from the first been the leading advocate of Civie Reform, and considering that so lately as the 17th July, inst— h> day after the bill passed—TuHer Examiner set forth the strongest arguments which can ane A be urged in favor of the bill—The Guar-

dian’s ignorance is inexcussble. It may be remarked that THe Examiner's article was so much to the point that it was copied , (without credit) by some local correspund-

end of one of the Halifax papers—evidently

& reformer —and published abroad as the

summing up of the whole case in favor of

the bill. But while we believe that it is

such a measure as should be passed, THE

EXxaMINER would be wanting in its duty as

a publiejuurnal if it failed to formulate the

questions involved in the issue, to the end

that every elector may carefully consider

them for himself.

~An English paper quotes the following |

from the Toronto Globe, organ of all the Gicits:—“*The selection of the High Coin- inissioner for the post of leader vould render it the duty of the Opposition to fight him every inch of the way. It is evidently the intention of the Tories to dentify the national policy more and more with allegian ¢ to the British Crown, since they denounce all their opponents an- necationists, The appointment of Sir Charles Tupper as Premier will be accep‘ed by many asachallenge to fight out the battle on these lines.” And remarks,— ‘Remembering Mr. Farrer’s connection with the Globe, and its general policy, we shoull see nothing extraordinary in this but for the strong efforts made by that section of the ‘Liberal’ party to shake «ff the charge of disloyalty fastened upon it. As it is, the Globe's frank acceptance of the issue of loyalty and disloyalty is damag- ing indeed,”

--Henry Clewes advises conservatism in sll business movements on this continent. He says that ** the one thing that prevents the revival of financial operations in New York appears to be the uncertainty that still overhangs European finances, and asks what may be the outcome of the un- settled condition and the new developments of European politics. Have all the weak spots developed out of the South American disasters been taken care of ? What may be the commercial and political effects abroad of unusually short crops, involving in some places almost threatened famine / Will the necessity of buying extraordinary supplies of breadstuffs from this and other countries involve an exhaustive drain of gold from the great national banks of KMurope? And, if so, what wouid be the effect upon European finances at large ? The crops of the States, he says, promise unparalelled results. The cotton crop seems likely to follow close upon the great volume of that of last year. The corn crop, so far, indicates a result beyond the average. And the output of wheat is likely to surpass all precedent.

—Prof. Brooks, a public spirited ci zen aud eminent conchologist of Maryland has waraed the people of his State that unless the Logislature does its duty there s on will bs an oyster famine. In a public statement he sets forth that in 56 years Chespeake Bay has yielded about 400,000, - 000 bushels of oysters, but that this rich and profitable inheritance has been wasted s recklessly that not a tithe of it will des- ceud to the next generation, ‘‘ unless the entire oyster is reformed without delay.” What is needed, is, first, the protection of the natural beds against unlicensed tong- men and dredgers; and second, scientitic oyster farming, artificial culture, careful bedding and jlinting. With timely and wise legislation, he is contident the time willcome when the oyster harvest every year will be equal to the total harvest of the last 50 years, and will not deplete or exhaust the beds. As about three-fourths of the Chespeake Bay supply is now con-

as

751 in the mine, of $446,651

The Government and the Scott Act,

The Guardian has been authoratively in formed that ** the Local Government have dismissed the County Prosecutors under the Scott Act and appointed in their places the following persons, two for each County instead of one as heretotore :

Queen's County.— First Legislative Council Electoral District—Wellington

Mathews; Second District—Samrel Brown, Millview, Lot 50.

Prince County.—First District—Peter Broderick, Tignish ; Second District—not yet filled.

Kine's Counry.—First District—Mal- colm J. Campbell. Elinira ; Second Diateict —Francis D. MeCormack, Cardigan.

‘The territory being divided between two prosecutors the salary of $200 formerly paid the County prosecutor will be divided also.” Lt is alas announced that ‘ the gov- ernment will undertake to assume all ex- penses of prosecution, and that the prose- cutors will no longer be harrassed by the fear of being personally liable for cos:s.”

We sincerely hope that these new measures of the Government will result in the more vigorous enforcement of the law and the decrease throughout the Province of the great evil of drunkenness.

The Trade of Canada.

The foreign trade of Canada for the fiscal ear ended on June 30th last, amounted to $203,120,210, showing an increase in ex-

'gorts on the year of over a million dollars,

the exact figures being $1,165 659, while the importa shuw a reduction of $415,764, and the duties collected a decrease of $791,018.

It thus appears that, notwithstanding the McKinley tariff, the export trade of this Canada of ours has grown satisfactorily and that our home manufactures are more and more getting control of the home mar- ket. The statement of exports for the fiscal year is as follows : 1890-91, $95,566, - 505; 1889-90, $94,339,945; increase, $1,-

135,659. The import tigures are : Daty Imports. Collected, 1889.90........... $ 07,969,470 $22,814,703 SUED 44 00k sens . 107,553,706 22,023,685 Decrease......$ 415,764 $ 791,018 A comparison with the export statistics

for June, 1890, shows an increase of $147,- in the fisher- ies, of $67,190 in animals, of $375,474 in agricultural products, and of $18,801 in miscellaneous. The depressed condition of the lumber market in Europe during the year accounts for the reduction of $546,154 in the forest. The imports for the month of June last totalled $9,186 ,382, and the duty collected $1,638,114,

The Monday Half-Holiday.

Dear Sir,—Someone signing himself “A Fulton” in this morning's Guardian wishes to convey the impression that | have violated the rule enj»ined in the Monday half-holiday contract. Such is not the case. | was yesterday delayed a few mome.ts after one o’clock at a friend’s store arranging an important mattsr—therefore the Diamond Bookstore was not closed at sharp one o'clock. 1 had the pleasure of attending the Picnic at Red Pvint in the afternoon, therefore could not be at busi- ness. in the evening | got my mail from office and wrote a reply letter at my store which 1 do not consider a very weighty master and one nut likely to create much confusion outside the narrow precincts of this correspondent.
