Forte Rico sugar oa oT od iC) wud ~ “THE good old West India raw sugar is
now hard to get—for the refined article is cheaper and has almost crowded it ont of the market. We often hear the remark made: ‘* The sugar sold now-a-days is not as sweet as that we used to get years ago.” Whether this is so or not we shall not attempt to say —but we do know this, that nose who taste our Porto Rico Sugar de- clare it to be the real article, and ** thing like the thing.” It is sweet no mistake, but it is dear—seven cents per pound. Can we sell it cheaper than this? Not if we are to make any profit out of it. But we have promised to give some bargains this winter, and we will begin with this Sugar, and for a little we will offer it at 6 CENTs PrR LB. Now this is a genuine bargain and much below the value of the Sugar,—and we expect those who want some of it to procure it without de- lay. It won't last long at this price.

Letter From Dr. Jenkins.
“rr,—In the election campaign now going on in this County, the Opposition, having no platform on which to take their stand, are re- duced to simple slander of the Dominion Gov- jernment. They are ‘‘extravagant,” ‘‘corrupt” , boodiers,” ‘they hanged Riel. an insane man, who was made a martyr to their politi- cal necessities.” They bring no evidence to support their charges, which are in every case devoid or any foundation and incapable of proof. ‘The Government, as is proved by the public, are more economical than the Mac- kenzie party, and, notwithstanding the enor- mous outlay on the Canadian Pacific Railway, the average anaual addition to the public debt is very much less since the present party have been in power then it was under their prede- cessors, Who have little or nothing to show for their large expenditure.
Among other things, they bring up the sub- ject of superannuation. Now, the system of superannuation is admittedly an excellent one, but is liable to abuse. This may occur acci- dentally through want of due care, or it may be wilful and corrupt. An instance of the former is the case of Mr. MeNab, late Super- intendent of the Island Railway. The Gov- ernment superannuated him on a medical cer- titicate to the effect that he was affected with heart disease and incapable of performing the duties of his office; preper care may not have been taken here, buf there is no suspicion of corrupt motives. Mr. McNab was not put aside to make way for a political opponent, as was the case when the Grits, unfortunate- ly for Canada, acceded to power. Among the many instances, i will cite those of the strong aid hearty postmasters of Halifax and St. John, who were superannuated to make room for clamorous partizans; in this case the pocket of the taxpayer has already suffered to the extent of $32,000, and the drain is stili going on; here isan instance of wilful and corrupt abuse of the superannuation fund.
In an official return on the subject, it is shewn that under the five sad years of the Mackenzie regime, 79 officials were superan- nuated, who have drawn from the treasury $400,000, an average of $5,083, while they paid to the fund only $127. During the Mac- donald regime the average paid was $2,100, with $168 paid in. To carry the comparison still further, the officials superannuated by Mackenzie drew $37 for the $1 paid in, while those under the Macdonald Government drew only $12 for $1 paid in. So much for the superannuation slander. It it were not that the Grits are desperate, even they would hardly have the audacity to mention the word superannuation in the face of such facts; but being in extremity, and having no other re- source, they are obliged to resort to such tac- tics in the hope that the people may be de- ceived into giving them support. I think the »eople in general are too well informed and
eh
slander.
Another accusation is that we do not get reciprocity because the present Government are opposed to it. ‘This, with your permis- sion, | will take up in a future number.

Sir, —As the reputation of the Island, for raising good horses, is somewhat wide, it behooves all interested in this brauch of jher industries, not only to sustain this repu- tation but to raise it still higher.
Every spring may be seen scores of horses traveling for the service of mares, three-fourths of which are entirely unfit for this purpose. Many of them have unsound feet, curbs, splints, spavins and other blem- ishes. Frequently these blemishes are so carefully hidden by the avaricious owners that only an expert ean detect them ; con- sequently, many people are deceived, and engage the services of very inferior animals. What kind of stock can be expected from such sires? Only scrubs.
Like begets hke; and though our mares may not always be what we could wish, if we breed toa high standard of horse we are going forward. If, on the other hand, we obtain the services of a poor horse, we are bound to have a worthless colt.
I would suggest, as a remedy, that every horse travelling for the service of mares, be provided with a license, and that a board of competent examiners (say three or five) be appointed by the Local Gouernment ‘to examine horses brought to them, and issue licenses to those that possess the necessary qualifications, It may be urged that this would create a monopoly and raise the service fee. If so, | would say if a man wished tuo travel his horse on his own responsibility, let him do so, There would then be some safeguard, and the man who could not produce a certificate for his horse would be looked upon as an un poster; and it would reasonably be supposed there was something wrong with his horse.
Thanking you for space,

Alleged Canadian Barbarity.
son. JACOBS TELLS HIS SIDE OF THE STORY.
Solomon Jacobs, captain of the fishing schooner Molly Adams, has sent to Secretary Baird an account of his rescue of the crew of the schooner Neskititia, of Lockeport, N. %., wreckel on Malpeyue bar, P. E. I. Sept. 26, and his subsequent treatment while trying to land the shipwrecked sailors and such of the wrecked material as he had saved for the owners. When he asked permission to land these men, the Canadiin waithorities at Malpeque referred him back and forth to each other and refused to do anything for the care of the men. The captain of the cruiser Critic finally told him he eould pnt the saved material on board a Nova Scotia vessel if he went outside three miles to do it. No one oa shore would take the wrecked men unless Capt. Jacobs ‘would be responsible for their board. Capt. Jacobs solved the problem by giving the men §60, enough to pay their passage home, and rations to last their journey. As it was not safe to pass Malpeque bar except in smooth water, and his vessel draws fourteen feet, he lost ten days of valuable time, while the fleet tovk large quantities of mackerel. Having to feed so many men his provisions ran short, and put into Port Medway ; stated the circumstances and asked permission to buy half a barrel of
iour, or enough provisions to take his vessel home. The collector absolutely refused p o-
visions and threatened to seize the vessel if the captain bought anything whatever. He was compelled to go home, a distance of 300 miles, on short rations, and although they had a quick passage, were one day without pro- visions. Fees, and the construction of American fishermen’s rights, he says, differ in every port. He has had not one sent of the money spent for the shipwrecked crew re
turned nor received a word of thanks from the vessel's owners.
Capt. Jacobs also forwards an affidavit made before Collector Bonrinot, of Port Hawkesbury, C. B., by two illiterate fisher- men, who charged that he had fished within two miles of the shore in 14 feet of water. He points out that the affidavit is manifestly false as his vessel draws fourteen feet of water. The atfidavit, he says, is one more in a plot formed by these officials to seize his vessel and intimidate American fishermen. He says he was'not near the vicinity named in the attidavit from July 8 to Sept. 6.

The Ceatury for February.
The variety in the contents of the cur-
trent Century is not less noticeable than the
' distribution of their origin. In subjects and contributors, all sections of the countay are represented, and appeal is made to many tastes. Politics, biography, travel, fiction of four kinds, art, architec- ture, astronomy, public questions, war re- miniscences, unwritten history, poetry, and humor furnish topies of vital and present interest.
The Life of Lincolu, by Hay and Nicolay, is occupied with Lincoln's first term in Con- gress and his life as a lawyer, this instal- ment concluding the first portion of the biography and carrying its subject to his fortieth year. His campaign for Congress, his opposition to the principle of the Mexi- cai war, his maiden speech in the House, his bill to abolish slavery in the District of Colunbia, his attitude towards appoint- ments to office, and his characteristics as a lawyer are part of the subject-matter of the February chapters. The responsibility for the Mexican war is disgussed, and pictures are given of Western life in 1850.
Prof. Langley’s New Astronomy Series may appropriately be called the latest news from the sky. The prosent paper has a fascinating theme, ‘‘The Stars,’’ and he treats it in a way to hold the attention. His startling comparisons go far to realize to the reader the wonder and mystery of the subject. In this paper he pays special at- tention to the work of American astron- omers in spectroscopy, and considers the popular notion as to the return of the ‘Stars of Bethlehem.”
Prof. Rodolfo Lanciani, the Director of the new Museo Urbano in Rome and the Curator of all works of art discovered in that department of Italy, contributes an article on the bronzes of Rome, and es- pecially of the two superb statues of athe- letes discovered in 1885, which are engray- ed for the first time for this article.
Mr. Atkinson's second paper on “The Strength and Weakness of Nations” (this one on their weakness) is like its predeces- sor in presenting graphically an array of facts which will long be referred to by writers. His table shows (comparatively) : 1, The National Debts per Capita ; 2, The Relative Burden of National Taxation; 3, Acres per Head of Population and Debt per Acre; 4, Standing Armies and Navies of the United States ; 5, Relative, Propor- tion of Preduct per Capita Absorbed by National Taxation. Mr. Atkinson’s facts, sstimates, and deductions are intimately related to current questions of labor and trade.
In the War Series the important subject of Gettysburg is concluded by a paper of untechnical narrative by the officer who gave the order for the charge in the third day's fight, to wit, General James Long- street. Portraits of Generals R. E. Lee, Barksdale, Semmes, Pender, and Garnett are among the cuts.
{n the department of fiction there is the closing half of Mr. Cable’s pathetic story, “Carancro,” the fourth part of Mr. Stock- ton’s *‘Hundreth Man,” in which the New York restaurant passes temporarily into other hands, and two one-part stories — ‘“S’phiry Ann,” a realistic story of Georgia moonshiners, by Mat Crim, and ‘Part of an Old Story,” a fanciful tale of Sicley, by James Lane Allen—all except Mr. Stock- ton’s with illustrations.
The **Topics of the Time” include edi- torial articles on Mr. Atkinson’s papers, on ‘Labor Parties,” ‘The Harvard Celebra- tion,” and “The American School at Athens.” There is a suggestive open letter on “Indian Education in the Southwest,”
altogether deceptive, working both ways against Canada. Just like the Grits.”
