GOVERNMENT STOCK FARM. Tne adverse balance against the Govern-

meot Stock Farm bas grown steadily

until it is now $7,292.70, orin rourcd num-

bers $8,000.00. We do vot particularly

Slame the present manegement for this heavy debt against the farm. Mesers.

Sinclair and Miller know how to manage a farm as successfully and well, probably, as avy other two men in this country. But they have been unable to make head against the conditions adverse to money making upoo which the farm is worked. Last year, for instance, they sold by g@uction sixteen head of young cattle, of the choicest breeds, at prices averaging seven- teen dollars a head! This was done for the good of the country; and this is prac- tically all the good the country received last year as a result of ail that was done and paid out upon the farm. A few fat cattle and one or two fat pigs and other things were sold for what they would bring in the market. But after all, the farm went financially to the bad, ia the course of the year, to the extent of $200. This notwithstanding the fact that the crops were all pretty good and that close “pon a huodred acres were under cultiva- tion !

It is needless to say that conditions which give such results ought not to be maintained. To place in the country sixteen well-bred calves for $272 the pro- vince at large has to make up $200. There is too much bob to our stock farm kite. Tt doesn’t pay directly, and it doesn’t pay indirectly; and it had better be sold, or else managed in such a wav that we shall have more out of it for our money. Just what had better bedone is a matter for carefal consideration and the exercise of good judgment. We hope that the farm will not be sold in naste; forif so, it is not unlikely that we shall have cause to It would be much more satisfactory, in Our Opinion, to see it con

repent at leisure.

verted into an experimental statiou under @ competent local manager, acting upon the advice of the experimental farm off- eials of the Dominion.

THE GOVERNMENT AND COMBINES..

‘Tue clause in the new tariff, to which the opposition will propose an amendment provides that “whenever it shall eppear to the satisfaction of the Governor in-coun. cil that as respects any article of commerce there exists any trust, combination, association or agreement of any kird among the manufacturers of such article or thedealers therein, or any portion of of them, to enhance the price of such article or in any other way to unduly pro- mote the advantage of such manufacturers or dealers at the expense of the consumers, and that such disadvantage to the consum- ers is facilitated by the customs duty im- pored on alike article, when imported, then the Governor-in-council shall place such article on the free list, or reduce the

duty on it so as to give to the public the benefit of reasonable competition in euch article.”

By tbis provison, power is relegated to the Government of the day to ruin avy firm of manufacturers obnoxious to it who seem to be making money in consequence of the protection afforded by the tariff. The opposition will propose that this power shall be exercised by the Government only upon a judicial report. That is to say the manufacturers in partnership sball have a fair trial before the protection which the existence of their business depends shal] be taken away. This isa reasonable proposition, entirely

consistent with the principle of British justice. It is to he hoped that the Govern- anent will accept it or else thai Parliament shall reserve to itself the power to deal with combires opposed to the public anterests. A meeting of Parliament is held at least once every year. Every year, therefore,an opportunity will be given

a] On

Parhiament to legislate for the relief of the cenntry from the injustice of combines. Consequentlythere seems to be little real need for the original resolution relegating £he power which constitutionally belongs to

NOTES AND COMMENTS,

—There was a fairly good market to-

dav considering the execrable roads. But we fail to uote ao advance in prices of farm »vroducts as a result of the Fielding edition of the N. P.

—There is something very Peveresque

about the restoration of the franchise to the dominion offisials and the restoration of “full time’ to the railway workmen. This is more noticeable in view of the fact that both were first taken away by tho-e restored them, and tbat we are to have a geveral election in the near future.

— Mr. Fisher, the present Minister of Agriculture, thus spoke at Meove Jaw in 1e94: “In M~. Foxcer’s reformed taritf the duty on implements was cnt down from 35 to 25 per cent., and Mr. T*oster claimed he had removed a great burden from the fa--

1 Who

mers. Why did he not remove the whole burden?” Where is Mr. Fisher now? Why is not he removing the burden ? —We are glad to note that Mr. Martin has been raising his voice in Parliament aed reminding the Government of their promises anent the Relfast and Murray

Harbor railway and other railways in this Province. With Mr. Davies in the Cabinet and Mr. Martin in the House of « ommons we ought surely to have the railway exten- sion this year. All eyes are waiting io be tixed upon the supplementary estimates.

—Itis offisially announced that the Greeks resident in Turkey may become naturalized as an alternative to Jeaving

the country. This will be complusory for all Greeks employed in Turkey. The Porte has undertaken to provide guards for the protection of the American mis- sions in Asia Minor and has promised that those shall not be removed without the consent of che American legation.

—The Boston Herald, for a copy which we are icdebted to Mr. W. L. Strickland, refers to the annual report of the Ameri- can Antiquarian Socety which sets forth as speciaily worth of note, the fact that the Society owns the first three issues of the first newspaper printed in which is now Prince Kdward’s Island. Although this is not “Prince Edward’s Island,” the reference is without doubt to the first vewspaper published here.

—Lord Aberdeen, in an address on Wednesday last afier the Queen’s College had given Lady Aberdeen the honorary degree LL. D., took occasion to comment on the spirit of peace and patriotism which should be found about universities and have its effect upon the onter world. He noted the spirit which some showed in the United States against Great Britain, and the recalling of utterances of thirtv years ago, during the civil war, as evidences of Britain’s antagonism. For many years, be said, the British press had uniformly adopted a tone of respectful good will towards the United States. His excel- lency asked: “Is it not time we should let bygones be bygones?” ‘The hostile spirit, he held, was not that of the American universities. He felt that the principles of Harvard, Chicago, Yale and Princeton would not, from his acquaint - ance with them, endorse or approve of utterances of unfriendliness towards Great Britain. He concluded by cajling on all to do their part in promoting the only rational, the oniy tolerable condition tween the different branches of the Englisb speaking race, to believe in the fatherhood of the Almighty, and to be disciples of the Prince of Peace.

—According to the St. John Sun’s report, Mr. Craig, M. P., for Darham, Ont., in the House of Commons a few days ago, discussed in a lively way the claim made by some of the supporters of the Govern- meat, he said, aud apparently endorsed in England, that this tariff strikes a blow at the United States. Possibly the ministers intend to hit back in response to the Dingley bill. This is the way they went about it. The first blow they struck was to admit corn free. That blow was not encugh, they must hit heragain. So they reduced the duty on wheat. But on reflection they concluded to deliver a third blow,and reduced the duty on flour. After consultation it was decided that another stroke must be inflicted. So they reduced the duty on binder twine, and agreed to admit the American article free after this year. Even then their revenge was not satisfied, and the next blow was the admission of barbed wire at a ‘ow rate, with the promise of free admission later. And then as a last erushing stroke one cent was taken off the duty on Ameri- can oil and additional advantages offered to bring it into this countrv. Mr. Craig was afraid that the United States would be hardly likely to survive this series of attacks.

ESTEEMED EXCHANGES. Boston Herald: Wonder if Rudyard Kipling could find anything to rhyme with the Dingley tariff bill ?

Montreal Gazette: The Laurier tariff increases the duty on whiskey and the poor man’s tobacco ; but not on beer. Mr. Prefontane, Liberal, M.

OBITUARY.

We are sorrv to hear of the H=ghie M. McPhee, third son of Ewen McPhee, E+q , Heatherdale, inthe 20th year of his age. The above young man waa student of Prince of Wales College here, and four weeks ago took a severe attack of hemorrhage of the lungs, which caused him to Jeave college and go to his home. The dread disease continued, and on Friday, the 29th April, he breathed his last. Much sympathy is felt forthe he- reaved parents and family, in which Tue ISXAMINER joins.

—Ata recent meeting of the American Antiquarian Society Prof. Edwin Auguatus Grosvenor of Amherst College contributed a very interesting paper on **The Perman- ence of the Greek Type.” Comparing the Greek of 3000 years ago with the Greek of today, he found them much the same in persoval appearance and ja virtues and vices. Even in point of language, the English tongue had changed more in four centuries than the Greek in a period seven times «as long. The Greeks were now, and always had been, characterized by a batred of restraint and the love of personal independence. Their love of education, too, bad for generations snr- passed even their reverence for religion.

The Daily Telegraph’s correspondent at Athens bas had an interview with Ric- ciotto Garibaldi, in the course of which the latter said he believed Greece might yet retrieve her military reputation, but unity in the conduct of the campaign. would be an absolutely indispensable con- dition.
