Senator Palmer, of Michigan, has to say on the subject

** Across our border is a Dominion with 5,000,000 people, descended from the same race, speaking the same language as ourselves, in every way like us. I believe Gen. Harrison will set on foot or foster the movement al- ready set on foot for political—not commer- cial—uanion between Canada and the United States. We will not approach Canada in a bullying spirit, but will let Canada come to us, or we will go to Canada, putting our hands together, without loss of — self- respect on either side, That, I think, is the manifest destiny of this Republic. With that union consummated and with Ireland pacified, English-speakin; Republicans would coatro! the p slitics of the world. Then, too, I think our friendly relations with the South American Republics should be extended that will lead to political union eventually. I do not think there is an Eskimo around Baffin’s Bay, or a native in the Southern Re- public whose prospects have not been bright ened by our victory last Tuesday.”

Senator Palmer evidently means well- for the United States.

East View Steck Farm.

Tuts farm is situate in East Royalty, about four miles from Charlottetown. It lies at either side of the Royalty Road, and presents & beautiful undulating landscape. There are within its bounds two hundred and ten acres, one hundred and twenty of which are under cultivation, while the remainder is unbroken land which has been seeded out to pasture, and will be cleared as quickly as circumstances may permit. It possesses, in the form of a large deposit of black alder mud, a source from which its fertility can be maintained and renewed, A hundred or two loads of this mud, hauled each year and composted with the stable manure, will add materially to the gross product of the farm.

In the present year, thirty-three acres were under hay, yielding about fifty tons ; forty-three acres were sown with barley, oats, peas and vetches ; fifteen acres were in potatoes, turnips and carrots ; and the balance in pasturage. The yield of barley and oats, mixed, was from thirty-five to sixty bushels per acre, and of oats and peas, mixed, about fifty-five bushels per acre.

How it is Done.

Tue manner in which the people of the United States elect their President is one vf the peculiarities of the great republic. The President is not, as some may suppose,

elected by a majority of the votes of the people of the union. Had this been the ease, Mr. Tilden, who received a large majority of the popular vote over Mr. Hayes, would have been President ; and | Mr. Lincoln, we believe, in 1860, was | Mr. Cleve- land has this time, as he did at the election of 1884, secured a majority of the popular vote; and yet the candidate who polled few- er votes becomes President.

The people vote for a certain number of Presidential electors ; there being a certain number allotted to each State. Each party has a list of Presi- dential electors for whom the people vote,

Editorial Notes.

it is reported that the num ber of set- | tlere entering Manitoba and the North- west this year will double that of last year,

A good authority on Kansas crops is reported as saying that the corn crop this year may be 150,000,900 bushels. If it had not been for three days of hot winds that seemed to fairly blast the crop, Kansas would have had the largest crop ever raised

in the State, or over 200,000,000 bushels.

It is generally conceded in Washing- ton that one of the very first recommenda- tions by the new President will be the admission of Dakota as two States, in accordance with the suggestions of his report to the Senate made in 1886.

~ The inaugural address of Governor Gordon, of Georgia, indicates the aims and ambitions of the new South. He said: ‘* I propose to consider what Georgia is and may become, rather than what she was or might bave been.” That means that in the minds of the people of Georgia the past is nowhere and the future everywhere. From the awful ruins left by the war, Georgia has risen to commercial and in- dustrial! greatness. In twenty-five years she has doubled the extent and value of her railroad system: has increased her cot- ton manufactures four hundred per cent.; has developed her iron mines until Pennsyl- yenia—hitherto the mistress of that indus- try —is looking at her with suspicion, if not with fear; and in a word, she has rowed against the stream, but now bids fair to become the vival of evem the mest bueetful of the Nortwera Soutew.

The prime object of the owner being to produce stock of the best description, he has grasped the fact that the purest blood will not avail for this purpose, unless the animals are well fed. There can be no question about the statement that the de- plorable condition of a large majority of our Island hards is due to a process of slow starvation, combined with exposure to cold, as well as to crass ignorance and care- lessness about breeding.

— Professor Watson writes : ‘‘ We all de- sire to see our Own people take their place worthily beside the older nations, and con- tribute something towards the education of the world. But such a consummation, de- voutly as we may wish for it, will not come unless we take pains to make it come. A nation does not grow with the easy spon- taneity of a plant; it development is its own act, and involves infinite laborand patience. Canada is giving manifest signs that the higher intellectual life is nut indifferent to her. Perhaps she still exhibits something of the immaturity and over confidence of youth, but she has also its hopefulness, its buoyancy, itsenthusiasm. Theuniversities will be false to their trust if they do not turn their abundant energy to fruitful is- sues. It is their function not to produce men of genius—nv university can do that— but to prepare the soil out of which genius may spring. Our universities ougnt to have a larger share in the process of moulding the character of our people. Great schol- ars, thinkers and men of science do not arise by chance; they are the natural out- growth of tit conditions.”

Public Meeting at Summerside.

[SPECIAL BY TELEPHONE. |

On Tuesday evening a large and repre- sentative meeting was held in accordance with the requisition of the business men of Summerside, in the Market Hall, to con- sider the best means of keeping up com munication between that port and Point du Chene, after the withdrawal of the Steam Navigation Company's steamer.

Mr. R. Hunt, Chairman of the Town Council, occupied the chair. Mr. S. M. Bent was appointed Secretary. —

Mr. Hunt, on taking the chair, said the object of the meeting was well known. Since it had been called he had received a communication from the Deputy Minister of Marine, (which appeared in Tu# Exam- INER yesterday. )

The speakers were Capt. Joseph Read, Messrs. D. Rogers, J. A. Clarke, C. B. MeNeill and Hon. John Lefurgey.

Mr. Rogers moved the following resolu- tion :—-

Whereas, Mr. Hunt, as Chairman of the Town Council of Summerside, has represent- ed to the Dominion Government the propriety of placing the winter steamer Stanley upon the route between Summerside and Point du Chene to run as late as possible after the P. E. Island Steam Navigation Company’s steamers are taken off ; and

Whereas, The Minister of Marine has _tele- graphed thatthe steamer Stanley will run be- tween Summerside and Point du Chene whilst navigation remains open : ; Therefore Resolved, That the thanks of this meeting be tendered to the Government, on behalf of the inhabitants of this Town and vivinity, for their promptness in recognizing the justice of the claim of Summerside ani Prince County to participate in the services of said steamer, and their apparent willingness to do all in their power to keep the communi- cation between the said ports open as long as it is possible to do so; and

Further Resolved, That a copy of the fore- going resolution be forwarded to the Minister of Marine at Ottawa

It was then moved that the thanks of the meeting be tendered to Mr. Hunt, as Chairman of the Town Council, for the active part he has taken in the matter. The resolution was passed unanimously.

Sale of Lmproved Cattle and Sheep.

Pursuant to advertisement, a sale of im- proved breeds of cattle and sheep took place at the farm of F. G. Bovyer, Esq., on Wednesday, the 14th inst. A large num- ber of farmersand stock-raisers were present,

secure good, fair prices. Mr. Bovyer has paid great aotention to stock-raising, and his success at the County and Provincial Exhibitions hasdrawn attention to his splen- did flock. The very successful sale on the 14th inst. shows that the farmers of King’s County are alive to the interests of breeding from the best, and was an encour- aging feature of the day’s proceedings. The cattle offered for sale comprised excellent samples of pure-bred Ayrshire and Durham calves, yearling and milch cows, and real- ized fairly good prices. Thirty-one rams

shire breeds, were disposed of, at prices ranging from six to eleven dollars, and seven cattle brought from ten to twenty- eight dollars each. A foal sired by the standard bred horse Principal, was with- drawn, after being run up to $75. The other horses advertised were not sold. Among the principal buyers were Messrs. Annear and Poole, of Lower Montague, Ross and Martin, of Be!fast, Goffand Mc- Lellan, of Cardigan, Alfred, George and F. Gordon, of Roseneath, Parker and Norton, of Brudenell, and McDonald, McKenzie and Nicholson, beside others whose names we did not hear. Altogether, the second clearing sale of surplus stock, held by Mr. Bovyer, was very successful. Mr. J. M. Aitken, Montague, was auctioneer.

Lord Sherbrooke, better known as Robert Lowe, the English statesman, is now worth something like $10,000,000, although he began life as a college tutor, with no other capital than brains. He made all his money by judi- cious investments in Australian lands.

Two hundred guests assembled in Church at Glen Gardner, N. J., to witness the mar- riage of Jacob Slater a wealthy mill owner, with Miss Annie Bloom. After the minister and the friends waited for half an hour, a note was received saying that the wedding had been postponed. The bride was too ner- vous to pass through the ordeal.

The Rev. Ewen Gillis, who has resigned the charge of the Presbyterian Church at Cardi- gan and Dundas, had the pleasure of officia- ting in the new building at Cardigan bridge on Sunday last. The new church, although not yet quite finished, is rapidly approaching completion, and is, without doubt, a vast im- provement+o the old building so long oecupied by the congregation. Mr, Gillis during his sojourn im Cardigan has had many trials to endure, but he has the satisfaction of know- ing that if it had not been for his energy ard preseverance, no lofty spire would to-day be pointing out the Presbyterian house of wor- ship, and no sweet toned bell would call the congregation to prayer.

M. Goblet, French Minister of Foreign Affairs, has informed the Cabinet that Eng- land and Germany alone have agreed to the blockade of the East African coast, and that he is awaiting the customary notifica- tion. France has taken measures to keep a strict watch to prevent slave trading. She will, however, admitthe right of search only for arms and war material.

Mr. Gladstone writes that he is perfectly willing that the Conservatives should settle the Irish question instead of the Liberals. He says the temper of the Liberal-Unionists is the greatest obstacle in the way of the difficuity.
