Editorial Notes.

. '

—As the Northwest continues to be| opened up, surprising revelations of its vast mineral avd agricultural wealth reach us, and we are forced to conclude

that ere long this great territory will be }

the most important poriion of the; Domivion. A prominent Ottawa gentle-|

man, Mr. MeLeod Stewart, who has just | returned home from atrip to the Rocky | Mountains, says he examined the Wood- | worth Coal Mine, near Medicine Hat, | thoroughly, and found the coal to be of | excellent quality. The day this gentle-| man wasthere the steam engine was sturted; there were ninety miners at| work ; and there were seven drifts made four feet eight inches thick. Having gone in 200 feet there is no doubt, he says, but that the coal will bea great industry in that country. Referring to general matters Mr. Stewart says the mineral and agricultural wealth - of Manitoba and the Northwest canuot be estimated. The progress and develop- ment of the country during the next five years will surprise the whole world.

—The election of a Governor for the State of Massachusetts which takes place this fall promises to be a very ex- citing contest. The Democrats have nomiuated Gen, B. F. Butler, the present incumbent of the gubernatorial chair. They are quite confident of his re-elec- tion. The Republieans, who were set back somewhat by the refusal at the last moment, of Hon. H, L. Pierce to accept the nomination, have adopted the sug- gestion contained in that gentleman’s letter to the Republican State Conven- tion, aud nominated Mr. George D. Robinson as their candidate. The elec- tion ot this gentleman is looked upon by the Republicans as a toregone conclusion. The prohibition wing of the Republican party however are dissatisfied with the choice of Mr. Robinson, he being in favor of the present license system and against prohibition. They therefore have nominated a mao of their own cloth, Mr. Charles Almy, and are deter- mived to use every means in their power to secure his election. With these three candidates in the field, and each one sure of being the next Governor, a very lively contest may be expected.

—The result of the explorations of Protessor Nordenskjold in Greenland, has taken away from the domain of imagivation one large tract of territory The Professor believed that behind the vast ice cliffs which line the coast of Greenland, and which by their great height have heretofore prevented explo- ration, might be found an extensive and fertile valley sufficiently sheltered to be warm and habitable, aud fancy even peopled this wild area with the descend- ants of those Norsemen who ventured across the Atlantic years ago, and of whose discoveries tradition now only exists. To have found hidden away in the louely isolated North, a race of people who spoke the language and followed the customs of their forefathers of a by-gone age, would have been one of the greatest discoveries of the age. But this was not tobe. The Professor went far enough into the country to con- vince himself that this Island, a penin~ sula, or whatever it may be, is a high plateau covered with snow allthe year round, and uneuited in every respect to any form of animal or vegetable life.

—-The colored portion of the United States population are becoming dissatis- fied with the manner io which they are being treated by their white brethern. At a convention of the colored race recently held in Louisville, Ky., at which upwards of two hundred and fifty dele- gates, and a large number of white and

colored spectators were present. Fred. Douglass, the negro statesman

of Washington D. C., in a lengthly speech sketched the mavy grievances of Which the colored men had to complain. He said : ‘‘now thatthe colored man is free let him act likea free man, and compel the world to receive him as the equal of the white man and vot refuse him access to its public buildings and hotels. They do not want idle words io their praise, but actions. They have never been helped, but assistance comes from all sides to keep them in their downward course. When they come as cart drivers or servants they are received, but when they come as scholars or statesmen the color line is raised. The colored man belongs to an abject race in the United States. The trades unions refuse him admission,and the mechanics refuse him as av apprentice. The color- ed race shall never cease being a des- pised and excluded race so Jong as they are shut out from policical preferment. Elevate one of our class tothe Vice- Presidency or to a position in the Cabinet, and our equality shall have been established.”

_ —The priucipal churches in the United States are now open. The pastors have returned to their labors refreshed both in miud and body, prepared to resume the struggle with sia and to again occupy the positions which they allowed to re- main inthe enemy’s possession for the past two months. During the time that the pastors Were recruiting their over- worked mental and physical energies the doors of the churches were locked and everything wore aholiday garb. Those of the congregation who are compelled to retnsio in the city during the absence of their regular pastors are either obliged Wo stay at bum vr attend sume kews cup-

for recreation, jand, therefore, cannot go on for ever.

They are but human

ut what strikes them as being decidedly

strange is the fact that some properly

qualified person does not occupy the pulpit and minister to the spiritual wants of the poorer portion of the congregation during the absence of the regular pastor. That the Arch Fiend whom we are told vever takes any holidays should be left in undisputed possession of the fort while the ministers aud the wealthy portion of the congregations are disporting them- selves at some favorite watering place appears to them to be decidedly wrong, aud the sooner a reform in this respect is ettected the better for all concerned.

Jottings of the St. John Exhibition

THE OPENING CEREMONIES—-A MAGNIFICENT DISPLAY IN EVERY DEPARTMENT.

At 3 o'clock Monday afternoon the Dominion and Centennial Exhibition was formally opened. His Honor Lieut.-Gov- ernor Wilmot accompanied by _ his aides-de-camp and by Sir S. L. Tilley, Members of the Government, of the Legis- lature, of the Exhibition Commission, civic officials, U. S. consul, officera of H. M. 8. “Garnet” and U.S. ship ‘‘Alliance,” and others were present. There was a good deal of confusion, and whether everybody was introduced to everybody, or whether the right persons got the right places nobedy could tell. However, the Mayor, the Provincial Secretary, and the Attorney General did their best to courteously re- ceive the more prominent visitors, and the cfticers of the two warships pleasantly fraternized.

His Honor Lieut. Governor Wilmot and suite, the navil officers and other prominent persons, members of the Commission, ete., proceeded to the eastern gallery of the new building, where a number of ladies had assembled. Here an address was pre- sented by the Hon. David McLellan, Provincial Secretay, to Lieut. Governor Wilmot, to which he replied in a very neat and practical speech.

His Honor then started the big engine in machinery hall, by pulling a cord which led to the valve of the engine. The whistle promptly responded, the machinery moved, and the ceremony was over. Then the guns of No. 10 Battery Garrison Artillery fired a salute, and a few minutes afterwards H. M. §. Garnet” ran up the American flag and fired a royal salute of twenty-one guns, in return for the salute of the British flag at the Yorktown centenary, The U. S. warship ‘‘Alliance” gave a salute in res- ponse to that from the ‘‘Garnet.’’

Thus opened the Dominion and Cen- tennial Exhibition in St. John.

The Exhibits as described hy the St. John papers, are large, varied and mag- nificent. All the buildings are well-stock- ed. The Machinery Hall, the Art Gallery, the Agricultural Hall, the Natural History Building &., €e., pre- sent a very animated appear- ance, being thronged with sight-seers. It is with the Stock and Stock Yard that P. E. Islanders are most interested. ‘‘The Stock exhibited is far superior to anything that has ever been collected in New Bruns- wick, remarked an old admirer of fine cattle and horses. ‘‘The display contains as fine horses and cattle as has been shown at any Dominion Exhibition.” Around the stock ring a crowd also collected when the at- traction was a number of animals taken out for exercise, being walked or trotted around the ring. The ring, though slightly smaller than would have been made had space al- lowed, is sufficiently large to speed a horse, provided he strikes nothing lower than a three-minute clip. When this will be done, the ring will be enlarged. The Prince Edward Island cattle, horses, etc., excite universal admiration, and the general ver- dict is that there are no animals at the Exhibition to compare with them. It is the intention of the committee to parade the New Brunswick and Island cattle to- gether. This will form one of the most im- portant and interesting features of the Ex- hibition.

The Greeley Expedition.

Lonpon, Oct. 3. The London Times gives a report taken from a Copenhagen journal that Lieut. Greeley, of the American Arctic Expe-

dition, .was murdered by a mutinons crew. The report comes from Hans Hendrick, an Esquimaux, with

Dr. Nathorst. Hendrick states he got the news from an Esquimaux at Cape York. The Times considers the report improbable, as Dr. Northorst has never mentioned it.

Mitchell vs. Sherrif, New Yor, Oct. 3,

Charles Mitchell, champion middle-weight of England, and Wm. Sherrif alias the ‘*Prussian”’ met in prize ring this afternoon at a secluded spot on the shore of Long Island. The fight was for one thousand dollars a side and was witnessed by a large number of sporting men. Many prominent men of New York and vicinity were present. The conditions were six rounds, Marquis of Queensbury rules, points and endurance to count. Mitchell accompanied by his trainer and Billy Madden, entered the ring at 5.40 and was followed by “the Prussian,” and _ his second. Both men appeared in good con-

dition. After pounding one another for 1X rounds without any decisive result the men were

about to quit, but the spectators howled for another round and the men set to work at each other again. This round proved no more decisive than the others. At its conclusion, neither of the two bore any marks of punishment. The crowd who paid their money to see the fight were very much dissatisfied with the result, and jnsisted on having the fight fought out. The referee however refused to ailow the battle to continue and although the men appeared perfectly willing to gratify the spectators still frther the referee carried this point, and the fight was declared a draw, and all bets off. Mitchell walked to his carriage as spry as he left it before the fight. A slight swelling of the face was the only indication of the fight about the person of the ‘*Prussian.”
