A HELPING HAND,

Recently n meeting was held in

London of the English shareholders of the Union I.ife Assurance Go. of Canada when a resolution was pass- ed appealing to the Government of Canada to hold an inquiry into the management and causes of the fall- iire of the concern.

From the remarks of the chairman

of the meeting it appears the repre- sentations made to the subscribers of the company’s capital were of a character that should have warned them against giving their money to the promoters. Looseness in man- agement and administration was evi- dent nll along the line. The direct- ors failed to show capacity in safe- guarding the shareholders’ interests, and collapse came. lu this the Gov- ernment had no concern. If the law were broken in any respect the share- holders had their own remedy-and it is here the English shareholders are at sea. They do not know to what extent, if any, the directors and promoters are liable. In pass- ing the resolution they were under n. misapprehension regarding the op- eration of the Federal law here. The Government under law has consider- able power over the operations of in- surance companies, as of banks; but it is for the protection of the pub- lic. While a companyshows that it

is able to meet its liabilities as they become due, the Government has no reason to interfere. When the policy holders' interests are threatened ac- tion becomes imperative. It was tak-

en in the case of the Union Assur- ance Company.

The company had no fewer than

150,000 policy holders in Canada, and these had their interests safeguarded hy the action of the Minister of Finance in the spring, when he made an arrangement with the Metropoli- tan Life of New York to allow all policy holders to re-insure with that company so that not u dollar was lost.

Mr. White has now, though it was

not incumbent upon him, acted upon the resolution of shareholders and appointed Mr. G. T. Clarkson liqui-

dator to make a thorough inquiry

into the affairs of the company with

u view to finding out how the assets of the company were dissipated.

Such an action is not necessarily within the functions ol the Minister of Finance, and his readiness to com- ply with the wishes of the unfortu- nutc shareholders will make a good impression upon the British financial world.

FOX Rl O ZSTRATION.

In a letter in The Guardian yester-

day, Mr. B. I. Ilaynor, one of the Is- lun1i's Original fox kings, gives some illuminating advice with reforenco to imported foxes which, at this stage of the fox industry, it would be well to make a note of. ' `

We commend his letter to all fox-

men, present and prospective.

The l'rincc Edward Island Silver

Fox Breeders Association, realizing the danger to the fox industry on account of mixed and indiscriminate importation, is at present grappling with the problem of registration in order to eliminate this danger and set the business on it firm and pe,-_ munent basis. The undertaking is u worthy one. If successful and prii- dently snd honestly carried out it will mean the pernianantrstabllsh- ment of one of the greatest indust- ries in the world; if it fails, 1( the business is permitted to go on us at present it will mean that those who have invested or shall invest in the

fox business are taking a gambicrg

chance, which may mean either a for-

tune or ruin. It will mean also that the confidence of foreign investors will he forfeited and that the for business can never develop into uny-

impossible. It would appear also

place, that any basis of registration so far proposed would exclude foxes

their purity as silvers while also giv- ing every indication of fur value. It

would be obrectionubls in that

ivc.

The object of registration is to en

able the purchaser of foxes to kno difinltely what he is purchasing. Thi is absolutely necessary to 'guard s gninst fraud and imposition. Buc a safeguard could be provided b

"-IGHUS. my Lord, my God, Redeemer hlssiz;

Who saved me by Thy blood, And gave me rest,

I lift my heart to Thee,

That I may nearer be,

Dr. Rand will also be remembered

as the translator into Latin of Top- lady's great hmyn, “Rock of Ages," giving n rendering 'which the Right Hon. William E. G-1adstous_was quick to declare the best translation extant oi that great hmyn into the Latin language.

It may not be worth while to give

specimens of Dr. Rand‘s Micmac hymns, as probably few of our read- ers could appreciate them.

We now reach the' name of a living

writer of hymns, William Edgar En- msn, a native of Charlottetown. He has written about one hundred hy- mns, the most of them for, "red let- ter and black letter saints’ days." Three of these hymns have found their way into the "Book of Com- mon Praise,” (Anglican). The one beginnlngz- .

one is amazed to find how littls is really known.

The farmer has, at least, anelem

entary knowledge of the sclentifii principles which govern the growing the rotation, the selection, the sow ing and reaping of the crops; tht

prices; the professions are all school cd in thc arts in which they are in-

ness. I-he knows that in certain seas ons some varieties of fish are abund ant or the reverse, that, occasionali ly, out ofthe mysterious ocean r school of mackerel or cod or herring comes suddenly within range of his nets or his trawls and that they ar suddenly disappear. He knows vag- uely that their movements are gov- erned by the quest of food, by the pursuit of enemies or by the need o' a different temperature. As to what food they seek, when or why a dif- ferent temperature is desired, what constitutes their food, how the food supply might be governed or his fish- ing operations helped or hindered, hi knows absolutely nothing.

In Richmond Bay, the Islsnd'f richest fish field and a place of phen- omenal richness, questions arlse con- tinually which present knowledge ii unable to answer and which if an swered would undoubtedly revolu- tlnnize the fisheries in that field and around the province.

in connection with the oyster in-

\1UBU`Y. search was made during the visit which gave rise to these articl- es, for evidence of the settling of "spat". It is known that oysters spawn during July or August and that some weeks later this spawn. fertilized and formed into "spat," attaches itself to such substances- shells. rocks, sticks &c-as it may chance to encounter. Oyster cultur- lsts look anxiously for this spat set- tling. It is the promise of the next harvest. At the time of the visit re ferrcd to there were few positive in- dications of this settling in the open bsv. but in the rivers on the west side of the bay indications were num- erous. Practically every shell plant- ed to act as a cultch was freckled over with the ~uewly deposited spat.

I! There is no doubt that in Rich-

mond Bay alone there are resources of lncalculable value of which llfaflti' cally nothing is known. Developed intelligently thesii resources would yield enormous revenues yearly and would afford a living to many who are now obliged to seek it in other provinces and other countries.

True conservation implies an intel- ligent knowledge of conditions and this, is wanting as far as the fisher- ies are concerned. The government would be justified in making n most generous appropriation with the ob- iect of conserving this mine of il- limitnhlc wealth, now enexplored and threatened with extinction.

REGISTRATION OF I

SILVER FOXES.

Sir:-Four meetings of representa-

tive foxmen have been held and the question of registration of foxes is not much nearer solution than at the beginning.

While it is true that the pioneers

in the industi'y have kept a record' of their experience iu private nerd- 'books and that this might be taken as s basis of registration, so far as pure breeds . ares concerned, yet the great expansion of the lndustry, the heavy importation of foxes, good, /bad and iudlderent, and the large in- vestment of moncy in these imported foxes, or in crosses between them and our own native Island stock, would make the establishment of a general registration from the pion- eer stock an injustice to many ln- ,vastors, whose stock would be ex- cluded from registration. I doubt, moreover, -whether the legislature would give us an act of incorpora- tion that. would so seriously inter- _fere with vested interests.

Too regid lines of registration should not be adopted at the he~ ginning. I do not think we should insist on pure breeds at the start. We should simply be satisfied, with u registry of silver foxes irrespective of quality.

The more I think of it, the more f

ani satisfied that, say, till the first of May next, we should be satisfied with the facts,-affirmed by oath, con- .cerning all silver ‘ foxes on Prince Edward Island. These _facts would include place of origin, name of ow- ner, and where known. date of births, sire and dam, price of peltrlss of nn- cestors, reoundlty of females and of
