The principle tpon which to organize for a echeme of mutual defence has been discussed by

many writers in the Mother Country— not at ly by one whose letters have been pub lished in the Daily Graphic, of London,

—Now that the new spring goods are arriving, it is more than ever neccssary that the Stanley should be kept running; and, with our correspondent and the bus iness men of the town, we hope that less than ten days will be fourd necessary for the cleaning of the Stauley’s boilers.

—L’Electeur demands to know if the Roman Catholic Bishops approve of the clause of the Manitoba Remedial Bill which give Roman Catholics the right, if they choose, to pay their taxes and send their children to the Public Schools. This, it is pointed out, is contrary to the doctrine of the syllabus, which forbids Catholics to approve or support a system of education outside the authority of the Church. The Montreal Gazette remarks that the infer- ence is that, if L’Electeur’s political friends have their way, the Roman Catholics would get much more than the Conserva- tive Government is risking its lifeto give them. Where are the Liberals at in this school ngatter, any way ?

—Monetary Times: Canadian dry gocds buyers are returning from English mar- kete, having completed their purchases of woolen fabrics for the fall trade of 1896. The trade placed large orders for heavy woolens in Leeds, at prices little in excess of last year’s values,@in spite of smart ad- vances in the price of raw material, the goods having been made before the rise in the wool market. Worsted coatings were bought at advances on last year’s prices, the price list of manufacturers having slowly advanced for some time past. The factories are very busy working on wor- steds, and the outlook is for continued strength Tweeds and serges in English markets are dearer than in December last, while the demand throughout has eon- tinued very satisfactory.

—President Schurman, of Cornell, has left Ithaca for the South, where at Jack- sonville, Florida, he is to deliver the prin- cipal address at the annual meeting of the department of Superintendents of the Na- tional Educational Association. Presid- ent Schurman will thus haye delivered three imporcant addresses thie winter. The first, which is being published by Scribners’, was on Huxley. The second, delivered op Founders’ Day at Cornell, was the one on the Venezuelan question, which has met with such wide newspaper comment, the one spropos of which the teview of R-views remarks : “Perhaps no man in the country bas expressed him- self ina more statesmanlike fashion in support of the American view of the issues invelved than President Schurman, of Cornell.” The third,to be delivered at Jacksonville Feb, 18. is on “The Vocation of the Teacher.”

—France and England having setzled a boundary dispute in Siam, are negotiating for the surrender by France of her rights in Newfoundland. The two facts show a coming together of the two nations for practical purposes. German pretentions in the Transvaal, still per-isted in, may create the opportunity for which France has long been waiting. Ii French claims in Newfoundland are to be surrendered, the compensation found eleewhere will

complete another internatienal trans- action. What makes, favs the Monetary Times, the sur-

render possible is that French interests in Newfoundland bave not, on the whole, been increasing, but the fishery has s@ de- creased as to be only a shadow of what it once was. The French claims once ex- tinguished, a serious bar to the union of Newfoundland with Canada would be re- moved. Newfoundland would be in a better position to negotiate, and Canada would appreciate the fact that the acquisi- tion, when made, would Le free from the burthen ef French claims.

> THE OUTLOOK ON TH ISLAND. Mr. James Paton, of James Paton & Co., dry goods merchants, Charl ottetown, P.E.1., passed through Montreal the other day on his way to the Old Country to buy for his firm there. This is Mr. Paton’s seventy-sixth trip across the pond in the interest of the dry goods firm he now rep- resenta. Mr. Paton remarked to a Dry Goods Review representative that where he hai come from he had had no winter to speak of, consequently the dry goods business had suffered considerably, especially in heavy goods. He also remarked that the farmers had plenty of produce in hand, and if the spring opened out wel! and there was a good market for hat produce Mr. Paton had no doubt but what that would retrieve the loss sustained during the winter.—The Dry Goods Re- view, Feb. 1896.

The Imperial Government has declined to come tothe aid of the Nova Scotia Government, in connection with its scheme for abolishing the Province’s Legislative Council. In the same manner, the Colon- ial Secretary refused to interfere with the Shortis sentence. The home authorities plainly mean that, with the advantages of self-government, Canada shall take the disadvantages also. It is time our public men apreciated the fact.

The statement that Great Britain and the United States will arbitrate the Ven- ezuela boundary dispute without regard to Venezuela, is to be taken with an allow- ance. Suchacourse would pat Venez- uela in a more contemptible position than if Great Britain simply asserted its strength and tcok the country it liked. Any power may have to give way to eup- erior force; it is only a despicable one that can be ignored in a quarrel itself raises.

Rev. W. H. Spencer—Treaaurer.

Rev. Messrs, Lawson and Phalen were appointed a committee to wait upon the Attorney-General and the Stipendiary in reference to the enforcement of the C. T. Act; said committee reported that their conference with these gentlemen resulted in their promising to aid the temperance cause by seeing that the persons guilty of a second offence of the C, 1’.

Dominion Artillery As sociation.

Orrawa, Feb. 26.

In the House of Commons this after- noon the Budget debate was resumed by Mr. Smith, of South Ontario. He was followed by Mr. Dawson, of Addington.

The Senate resumed last night, Senator Ferguson acting as Leader in Premier Bowell’s absence.

Av uninteresting gathering tuok place in the Privy Council chamber this morn- ing, when Sir McKenzie Bowell and Sir Charles Tupper met a number of Conser vative members who were supposed to be doubtful supporters of the Remdial Bill. The re.ult of the conference, it is said, is a much better feeling in Govern. ment circles. Some members declared that they would vote against the Bill, but the number will not be as great as was supposed.*A repertwas current last-night that Mr. Laurier has offered to allow the eetimates for three months to _ pass en bloc so that the public services of the country will not be at a standstill untill such time as parliament could vote the necessary supplies.

The annual meeting of the Dominion Artillery Associaton was held to-day. Colonel Prior was re-elected president. The Governor-General, minis- ter Desjardines and General Gascoigne, were present and made addresses __referr- ing to the proposed re-armament of the Militia, but not outlining a scheme.

The Salvation Army.

New York, Feb. 26.

Commissioner Eva Booth, who is now in command of the American division of the Salvation Army, yesterday made a ful! statement ef her intenied action. She said that the trouble between Ballington Booth and the international headquérters grew out of a letter which Ballington Booth wrote on Jnuary 3lst in reply to his recall from the American command. Until the commande:-zommiesioner, M:s. Booth Tecker arrives commissioner Eva Booth will devote al! her efforts to keeping matters quiet. The General’s reply to his son’s charges is expected on Saturday's steamer and there will be then a further hearing.

The Manitoba Qagstion.

Wiyyirec, Feb, 26,

There is every reason to believe that Premier Greenway and perhaps Attorney- General Sifton will go to Ottawa shortly to consult with the Dominion aurborities in regard to the school question. It is be- lieved that the Premier gave Sir Donald Smith a promise that he would goto the capital and hold a cenference with the Dominion Ministers.

Railway Officials Pay.

Moxcron, N. B., Feb. 26.

Train despatchers, station agents and operators have been notified that their re- reqnest for an increase of wages has been agreed to. The increase, which is equal to about] $75 a year per man, is valuable as an indication that the business of the road is improving.

“Involuntary Manslaughter.”

Wasuixsron, Feb. 26.

Miss Elizabeth Flagler, daughter of General Flagler, Chief of Ordnance, U.8.A., who last spring shot a colored boy named Green, was arraigned in court to-day. She pleaded “involuntary man- slaughter,” and was sented to three hours in jail and to pay a fine of $300.
