ditorial Notes.

—In Germany, where there is no re- striction on the sale of liquor on Sunday, statistics shows that 32 per cent. of the murders and crimes are committed on Sunday, and 53 per cent. between Satur- day and Monday morning.

—The convocation of the University of Oxford, having been invited to send an address tothe Emperor William of Germany On the occasion of the celebra- tion of the four hundredth anniversary of Luther's birth, rejected the proposition, because it was unwilling to commit the University to an affair with-which it had no concern.

—The Queen bas commanded Mr. R. C. Woodville to execute a large piccure reprepreseating the battle of * Tel-el Kebir,” as seen from the position where the Duke of Connaught was with his regimert of guards. It will, says the Loudon 7ruth, be a companion picture to the well known work of art entitled, **London iu a Fog.”

—The quality and quautity of sermons have lately been engaging the attention of the press, and the Suturday Review referring to this matter exhibits an inclination io favor of the partial aboli- tion of sermons. But the Review eases its complaint in the following way : “There are vo difficulties in the way of preaching shorter sermons. If all the younger clergy, like many amongst them, could simply say just whut they feel is in them, and say as much as possible as if they were talking to the people before them, there would be fewer of these demands for the abolition of sermons.

—The politicians and the newspapers financially interested in puffing American lands to the disadvantyge of Canada are coptinually saying that the United States land laws are more liberal than ours. Their statement, which is born ofa wish to grow snddenly rich even though they should sacrifice their own country to the greed for wealth, is incorrect. As poiuted out by the Ottawa correspondent of the Toronto Mail our laws are the more favorable to settlers. Iu Cavada the homestead and pre- emption adjoin; in the States they must be at least two miles apart. Here the condition of owner- ship is three years’ residence with certain improvements; in the States similar improvemeuts are required with five years’ residence. In the Northwest young men of 18 years of age are al- lowed to homestead and pre-empt; iu the States the settler must be 21 years. Furthermore, the entrance fees in Canada are about one-half those charged in the States.

The Parting Hour. ADDRESS TO REV. W. R. FRAME—HIS REPLY.

A deputation from the Mount Stewart Committee for the enforcement of the ‘Canada Temperance Act,” consisting of Donald Allan McDonald and Robert Farquharson, Esqra, and Messrs. 8. C. Clark and Roderick J. McDonald, waited on the Rev. Mr. Frame on Friday with an Address.

In it they expressed their regret at Mr. Frame’s being obliged to leave the com- munity for a time; spoke of his earnest- ness in the temperance cauee; of the high esteem in which he is held by all classes and creeds, and concluded with the earnest hope that he may return in the spring fully restored to health.

In his reply Mr. Frame thanked the Com- mittee, through the deputation, for their very kind Address and for the good wishes om behalf of himself and Mrs. Frame,

which it contained. He congratulated them on the great success which had attended their quiet labors since their

appointment to office two months ago, and expressed his belief that if spared to return in the spring, there would be no temper- ance work left here for him to do, as the Committtee had already banished nearly every vestige of the liquor traffic from the community.

TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT WITH THE DOMINION GOVFRNMENT.—FIVE PER CENT. DIVIDEND ASSURED.

New Yorx, Nov. circular, which iz issned :—

* Office of the Canadian Paeifie Railway Company, 63 William street, New York : “The Canadian Pascitie Railway Com-

peny, in order to insure to its steckholders

a fived minimum dividend on their shares,

and thus constitute the steck an absolutely

reliable security for permanent investment, have depesited with the Government of the

Dominion of Canada money avd securities,

in consideration of which that Government,

on the tenth day of, November instant, executed a contract with the company and the Bank of Montreal under which it bound i'self to pay into that bank as trustee for the shareholders on the 17th day of February and August in each year until the 17th day of August, 1893, in- clusive, a sum of money svfficient to pay

a semi-annual dividend of i} per cent. on

the entire outstanding capital atock of the

company. Ont of this som the Bank of

Montreal, by the eame contract, covenants

with the railwey company to pay to the

stockholders half-yearly dividends at the above rate. Itis the intention of the rail- way company to supplement this guaranteed dividend by an additional ove per cent.

12.—The following self-explanatory, is

semi-annually during © the construction, thus making an anuual dividend on the stock of five per cent. and

after thé entire completion of the railway

which it is expected will be aceomplishiod at latest by the spring of 1886, by such further dividends as its earnings will warrant. Notwithstanding this arrange. '

ln ent, securing a minimum dividend for 10 | years of 3 per cen’, per annum, the un- | earned subsidies y. uted to the company | under its charter money and lands re- | main wholly unin ved, and will be ob- | tained from-the G vernment as heretofore as the constructiin progresses, and will | therefore be available for the completion and equipment of the railroad. *

‘lhe Best Wheat to Grow.

The experience of twenty years in the Northwest has demonstrated beyond the shadow of a doubt, that the old reliable Scotch Fife wheat is the best kind to grow and is the only variety which can be depend- ed upom. Smutty wheat was never heard of in Minnesota until other varieties, mainly club, were introduced, and smut has not yet invaded the fields of the farmer who has stuck to Fife through thick and | thin. It may perhaps be true that Fife exhausts the soil more tapid!ly than the soft varieties, but the farmer who expects to raise a good crop of wheat from the same field yearafter year is a mere agricultural machine, deserving no sympathy for his failure. Careful rotation of crops and as much menuring as possible will keep up the yield and quality of wheat. Some of these days we may be able to raise the English average of twenty-six bushels per acre, instead of our present average, fourteen bushels; but this is hardly to be expected in the Northwest; Fife wheat is « necessity here because of hardness, having acquired the reputation of givirg a lighter yield than the softer varieties. In the

minds of many we'll posted men this is a much mooted question however. Passing to varieties of wheat which

may be profitably and permanently growo in Minnesota and Dakota, we find that Scotch Fife heads and tails the list. Among other eorts which have heen tried here are the clubs known as Rio Grande, Lost Nation, Nerwegian and others, all of which, while yielding better than Fife for a year or two, not only fa'l off in yield, but become smutty, and being soft, are soon practically worthless. The Blue Stem which hasa large kernel and a medium color, yields better than’ the Fife, is harder than the others, and mere nearly approaches the Fife in health and other good qualities, but it bas not been very thoroughly tested as yet. One thing is certain, however, and that is that if the reputation of the hard wheat section and of the northwestern flour is maintained, it ean only be hy the exclusive use of Fife wheat fur seed. All of the softer sorts for which larger yield is claimed, must be dis- earded. Rotation of crops and better modes of securing the grain when ripe are necessary. The northwestern farmer must learn thig lesson well, and if he would avert all danger of smmnt, discard soft wheat for seed and stick to Fife, —Nvrthwestern Miller. -——- - a ae oe ~ Foreign News Notes.
