NOTES AND COMMENTS.
—The Patriot makes a sirong plea for min of action in the Legislature. Perhaps the Pat: iot will state what “ action” hes bcen taken by the present rerresentativ: s of Charlottetown in the t.--r-iature. The Patriot maintains thai it is to their credit that they haven't said much. What have they done ?
—Laurier is, we are told, “the lion of the hour in London.” He doesn’s arn anything for Canada. Not he. He is ready t» give the Canadian markets, every- thing, up to the dear old Mother Country. Is it wonderful that the people of the Mother Country make a pt of their new lion? or thatour own Mr. Davies is going home (at the pubiic expense) to share the honors ?
—Montreal Star: I:sagive the poor Grand Truok, ruiaed by Intercolonial €0 npetition which will sweep by ‘t over its uwn line and over its own Victoria Bridge, and unload at its own Bonavevture Station ! Imagine General Manager Haces mcuraing over his dep'eted trade and sadly taking rent for the privilege of beat- iig him on his own tracks, If you havea healthy imagination, practice it wy al! means, On the above.
—The Toronto Globe remsrks that “th. circumstances under which the present Parliament was electe| were decid-dly in favor of improvement in the tone of public morals.” These circumstances are being turned to aceount in such corrupt “deals” as that which has been made with the Grand Trunk and Drummond County rail- way in which the taxpayera of Canada stand to lose at Jeast $8,000,000 and to gain nothing. The Moncton Times remarks that “at the end of 99 years,which is the term of the lease, the govermment will have paid the Drummond county Railway company the sum of $6,930,000. The railway, which is Only about 100 miles in length, has always been run ata loss, and the owners appear to have madea splendid disposal of their property. The lease money if put out at interest would within fifty years make them among the wealthiest men en the continent. The principal beneficiary of this scandalous dea! is a wealthy Mont- realer who is reputed to have made a handsome subscription to Mr. Laurier’s corruption fund in Juve last and another to the liberal fund in the recent Quebec elections,

NEWS NOTES,
The report that Great Britain purchased and is in secret possession of Delagoa Bay has been revived.
Ac yalty does not protect one from un-
comfortable experience. The German crows prince and his next brether have been laid up with chicken pox and are now recovering.
A decaying oak tree at Cowthorpe near Wethcrby, Eng., is more than fifty feet in circumfereace, and is believed to be the
to be taxed. enough money underthe old act. The deficits he made yearafter year were, upon the average, as large with taxation as Hon. Mr. Sullivan’s deficits were without taxa- tion. So he must needs have more money or else drift more deeply into debt.
It is possible, of course, that circumstan- | ces will prevent an appeal to the people | before the new taxes are imposed ; and in that case we may be sure that the new taxes to be paid next autumn will fall as lightly as possible upon the electors. But, in that case, the electors will have to pay double az much in future years!
However this may be, the report that taxation is to be lightened under the new tax act is false and misleading.
IMPORTANT PUBLICATION.
WE are in receipt of one of the most im- portant publications issued for many a day,
in so far as the farmers of Prince Edward
Island are concerned, It is a pamphlet entitled “ How to Raise Hogs for Present Market Conditions.” To raise hogs with profit is the point sought to be made. The pamphlet shows (1) what are the actual requirements of the present markets and (2) the opinions of the best authorities as to how to breed and feed hogs which will produce the quality of meat required by the consumer. The pamphlet will, we believe, repay careful perusal. Mesers. B. & M. Rattenbury, by whom it has been collated, will be prepared, on and after tbe first of November next, to receive at their new slaughter and curing house in Uhar- lottetown, two thousand hogs per week, summer and winter, the year round. Their enterprise will thus involve a revolution of the pork raising industry of this Pro- vince. Three times as many hogs will be needed as have been sold in any past year, and a different quality of hog will be re- quired. The proper system, as the Messrs. Rattenbury points out, is to prepare two or three batches of hogs for delivery at the packing house at intervals throughout the year, thus ensuring a regular supply the Hogs that will weigh 180 to 200 lbs., live weight, at six months old, wil] be in demand. i I

A man in Lewiston, Me., where bicycles are taxed, refused to pay a tax on his biey- cle, because it is worn ont and useless. He demands to kiow of 1 assessor whether they could tax # man for a dead horse. If not, he wishes to knew why he should pay fora dead bicycle with a punctured wheel.
In the London Lancet an eminent vby- sician says that after a long ride ona bicycle he experienced “paraesthesia in the fourth and fifth fingers, with impaired sensibility and paresis in the interossei lumbricals and the aquetor pollicis.” A layman would say that the long ride made his hand numb, provided he mentioned the matter at all.

STARTLING MURDER FIGURES,
(From the Philadelphia, Pa., Press.)
In 1896 there were 10,652 murders committed in the United States, but there were Only 122 legal executions. Only one murderer in eighty-seven paid the penalty for his crime. With such a great disparity between crime and its punishment, is it any wonder thatthe public took vengeance into its own bands, and lynched in the sume year 13) persons? There is no excuse for mob law. It is better to endure many miscarriages of justice than to per-— mit a mob, under the sway of brutal pas- sion, to mete out even a just punishment But for helping to create the sentiment which calls a mob into being, the courts with their delays cannot be held blame- less.
