THE DATLY EXAMINER

“MAY 20, 1898,

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

—Four years ago the crop of Manitoba was seventeen millions of bushels. For this year it is officially estimated that the crop will be fifty millions,

—The Marquis of Salisbury said a few days ago that the Goveroment’s policy was the development of commerce and friendly relations with all nations.

—Manitoba and the North-West should make great progress from this out, The advancement of the West must, as the Mail and Empire remarks, be a surprise to the statesmen who eaid that a railway there would not earn the grease for its wheels,

—By adding the amount of the supple~ mentary estimates for the year ending June 30th 1898—-$1 ,460,354.91—to the amount of the Supply|Bill—$45,980,723—we havea total of—$47,441,077 asked for the current fiscal year, as compared with $44,831,027 asked for the fisca! year ended 30th June, 1897, or an increase of $2,610,050 in one year. This, it has been remarked, is pretty good for an “economical” Government whose leader frequently declared, while in Opposition, that when he got into office the expenditure would be reduced all the way from $2,000,000,000 to $5,000, a year.

—Tomorrow—May 2lst isthe twenty- first anniversary of the first day on which Tue Dany Exawiver was published. We mey perhaps be excused for intimating also that this is the fiftieth year—tbe jubilee ce the publication of Tae Werekty

XAMINER. The friends of Tur Dairy Examiven and Tue Weexty Examiver will, we feel sure rejoice with us upon this interesting occasion. We are not without hope that the careful attention to the public interests which hasresulted in the continued prosperity and popularity of the two papers will receive the same reward in the future.

—Mr. John ‘A. Nicholls, the well~ known prohibitionist champion states the chances for that cause in the different sections of Canada to be as follows: —Ontario wil! be carried by about 50,000. In Quebec it will be beaten badly in the leading centeres, such as Montreal, Quebec, Three Rivers, St. Hyacinthe, and Sher- brooke, but the towns and villages will be all right. The eastern townships Stanstead, Compton, Brome, Richmond, Wolfe, Missiequoi, Shefford, acd Argen- teuil will be for prohibition, while Megan~ tic will be against it. The prohibitionists will carry Manitoba, the Territories, and the three Maritime Provinces, but British Columbia will be againstthem. Mr. Nic~ bolls concludes by stating that steps will be taken in the near futnre to ascertain the views of the higher Roman} Catholic clergy on the question, which is now to be submitted for the consideration of the people of Canada.

Bay View Notes,

Planting is well advanced, Grass is start- ing finely aince the rains. There is the best appcarance of a clover crop in this section that we have seen for many years.

Lobster fishing is now in full blast and promises to be successful. Fishermen are contracting for their catch at very much higher prices than usual, The herring fishery has been good the last week.

Work on Bay View bridge has been sus pended for the present. ‘Ihe track over it

is now in fairly passable condition. Produce ;

is scarce in this section and it is difficult to get cargoes fer schooners that are in pork.

We now feel the needofa daily mail more than ever on accout of the great in- terest taken in the war. Several are taking the Dairy Examiver here, but it is not at all satisfactory to be receiving only three times a week in these stiring items. We n.ust have a daily mail for Bay View, Cavendish and Hope River, and we could have it at a smal! cost by having it come by Bradalbane and Stanley instead of Huoter River. This section of the ceuntry is up to date in every respect avd should have its accommodation.

The Cananian Collie Club will celebrate the Queen’s birthaay by holding an exhbrbi- tiou of collies on Logan’ Farm, near Mon- treal,

Thenew British battleship Implacable is to cost over $20,000,000, the largest sum ever spent in the building ef a man-of- war. The armor plates alone will cost $2,250,- 000, and the guns nearly as much,

The Spanish papers resolutely discuss the expediency of continental alliances, which they affect to considers one of the principal objects of the future Cabinet. The Republican payers urge an alliance with France and Kussia, at the same time agreeing with the movarchical papers in expecting much from the attitude of Em- peror William. The Ministerial papers are equally keen and bitter for alliance against England,

General Merritt deciines to undertake the governorship of the Philippines with Only 15,000 troops, just one thousand be- ing regulars. Fifteen thousand men is father more than half the number of the yeguiararmy of the United States up to the outbreak of the war with Spain. Itis however, a smal! force to keep seven mii- lion people in order. It will cost a good many millions a year to maintain sucha corps ina southern Asiatic climate. The sobering phases ofthe war are beginning to assert themeelves.

You'll laugh if you go to- night to the Opera House.

WOMEN MEET.

National Council of Women in Session at Ottawa.

Ortawa, May 18.—(Special.)— The first session of the fifth annual meeting aod conference of the National Council of Women of Canada opened yesterday morn-~ ing in Conversation Hall, of the Normal School, with Her Excellency, Lady Aber- erdeen, who is president of the National Council, in the chair. Replyingto words of welcome Lady Aberdeen,said: * Me~ thinks Isee you coming from rast and west to celebrate your mother’s birthday, and laden with offerings .rare and costly to lay at her feet. What gifts do we most desire ? Is it not the evi- dence of lives quickened to fruitfuilness, to full development, to greater love and noity, to a higher sense of patriotism and of all that those may mean, and are not the very gifts that you are bringing and each containing the magic power of drawing towards it, as by magnet, the for- ces and influences which have beea eet in motion by your sisters who are gathering with yon,

“Taken each by themselves, these divers efforts to increase the happiness and well being of the world, to use our talents to obey the golden rule by many divers methods, are beautiful and lovely, but when brought together, to act together, they become irresistible so long as they are true and real.

Mrs. Wright Sewell, president of the National Couneil of the Un‘ted States, also made an eloquent address.

The secretary, Mrs. Willoughby Cum - mings, drew attention in her report to the growth of the council since the first annual meeting held in Ottawa in 1895, then seven local councils, now 19 in every province of the Dominion, al! but one of which is represented personally at the meeting. Moet satisfactory progress was seen every-~ where, as the result of bringing together the women of all parts of the Dominion.

A resolution was adopted at the afternoon session condemning the slaughter of birds aod animals for purposes of fashion.

THE STANDING ARMY.

Had It Been Larger Cuba Might Have Been Free Now.

Wasuineron, D. C., Mav 19.—Neve> be- fore has the great need uf a standing army been _20 thorougbly brought before the Government and people as new. Army officers are becoming very much discoureg: ed at the dilatory manner in which the volunteer forces are be nz mustered into service and equipped for the field. Iu talking over the tardiness of the army in going into the field several prominent

army officers have told me _ that it was entirely due to the poor organization of the national

guard. Some States, called upon to furnish troops, have a “so-called national guard that 1s positively without organization and in some ceses the men even lack uniforws and modern gurs_ It is more than twenty days since President McKinley, made the call for 125,000 volunteere, and the latest reports show tbat only eighfy thousand have been mustered in and only a few regiments are at present ready for actual service. Up tothe present date, nu action has been taken by the army to end the misrule of the Spaniards in Cuba. Army experts now declare that if the United States had a standing army of fifty thousand men, there is no doubt that the war, as far as Cuba is concerned, would have been ended by the present time.

Y. M. C. A. CONCERT.

Tue coucert given intne Y. M.C, A. hall jast evening by the Canadian Concert Company was a distiact success from an artistic point of view, and it is greatly to be regretied that a larger audience was not resent toenjoy it. Those who were in attendance were delighted with the render- ing of the different literary and musical wumbers, and it is safe to say that should these gifted young ladies see their way clear to again visit Charlottetown, they will be greeted by a full house. Miss McCallum is beyond « oubt one of the beat elocutionists on the Canadian stage, and

every one of her selections Jast evening was deservedly encored. Her rejo tire ig extensive, and includes Scotch and Irish dialect readings. Her work is marked | by a naturalness and finish that} indicates careful training and a keen ap- | preciaticn of the subj c~matter of the , itapersonation. Mies Warnock’a singi-g | was acother pleasing feature. She pos- sesses a voice of rare flexibility, and the numbers opposite her name were r:ndered in a delighifully sympathetic manner. Her opening selection, “Bessie, the Flower of Dundee,” at once enraptured the audience, and each succeeding song added to hr popularity and encores were the rule. Miss McKay played the accompaniments for Miss Warnock, and also contributed one or two instrumental solos. Her play~ ing in each instance was in keeping with the other part of the entertainment, and was greatly appreciated.

CHINESE GORDON.

The Story a Bishop Toid About the Fa- mous English General.

The bishop of Tasmania in one of hie sermons told a story which brings out the character of aman whom all the world learned to respect—for a wonder before he died. The bishop—so says The Sunday Magazine—was indebted for the story to a clergyman who had spent some years in Gaza, Palestine.

One night this clergyman was coming home late, and in the dusk of the evening when objects were net very distinct he saw what looked like aman kneeling on the ground by the side of his horse. The place was not a safeone. Arabs might easily surprise the kneeling traveler.

“T must go and warn that man,”’ thought the clergyman. ‘‘It will never do to let him remain there. He does not know that he may get into trouble.’’

As he came nearer to pvt his resolution into practice he was stopped by words

| that evidently were not addressed to him-

self. A moment’s listening convinced him it was the yoice of prayer to which he lis- tened.

‘*Oh, my God, take me away out of my- self, lest I fall; make me to look unto thee, that I may humble myself and be like thee!’’ said the voice of the kneeling man.

The clergyman hesitated to interrupt the stranger’s deyotions, but he could not persuade himself to leave him in danger. After waiting for a time he approached, saying as he did so, ‘‘Sir, I beg your par- don, but you are in danger here.”’

‘The man rose, and the clergyman’s sur- prise was great when he found himself standing face to face with General Gor- don.

‘‘What are you doing out here in this dangerous place?’’ he asked, not yet recov- ered trom his astonishment.

“This morning I received a telegram from England asking me to undertake a mission which I had longed to undertake ali my life,’’ replied the general. ‘‘It filled ine with such elation that I felt I might get into trouble through pride, and I thought I would just get upon my horse and go away by myself to humble myself before God.’’

It was thus that the noble heart of Gor- don met one of the great trials of character —the honor of being chosen to lead in an important enterprise.

“I believe,’ said the bishop, ‘‘that ths mission of which he spoke was the one in which he was employed when death met him.”
