The Government Pond.

Ly view of orders given the City Sur- veyor, it is surprising that this pond is still uncleansed and stinking. It is, at this moment, a menace to the health of the city. Talk about a system of sewerage, what is the good of sewerage while such plague spots are suffered to remain upon the sur- face, offending the eye and the nostril and emitting the germs’of disease? If sewerage be necessary we must have it. But let us first do that which can be easily and cheap- ly done,—let us have this and other pesti- ferous holes, in sight, cleansed and kept

clean.

The shooting Accident.

Tue boys and men of this comm unity— those of them, at least, who are disposed

shooting—should never forget the

to gu death of little Eva Gay. that she was shot intentiorally. But

evervone knows that her death was the re- |

su't of the careless use of a deadly weapon.

We must presume that the decision of the

magistrate was in accordance with the law.

Yet it is morally certain thac the man or

the boy who carries for purposes of spor! and pastime, a loaded rifle, warranted

kill at five hundred to a thousand yards, is

morally, (if not legally) responsible for

that which may be killed by means of it. We make those remarks, not to add to the remorse of the unfortunate boys in this case, but to accentuate the lesson, which it ought to convey to all as tothe risk in- curred by those who carry deadly weapons of any kind.

The Monday Half-Holiday.

Tne closing of the stores at six o'clock is, we believe, generally approved. Of course, we have less of the glare and glitter of electric and gas lamps atter nightfall. But precisely the same amount of business is done as if the long hours were kept, and the cost of the lights is saved, while our merchants and their clerks and assistants are enabled to enjoy, to some extent, the social converse and pleasures of life. The Monday half-holiday, too, is a reasonable concession, during the holiday season, to the physical and social needs of a iarge and important body of workers. We give credit to the trades which have made it. ‘Lo be sure, there is usually very little doing on Monday afternoon; and when all are united in granting it, it makes not the slightest dif- ference in the volume of trade, either to the community as a whole or to any indi- vidual merchint. It is to be regretied that every branch of business is not taking part in the Monday half-holiday movement The grocers’ clerks, particularly, have a claim upon their employes, seeing that they are,

N> one thinks! standard, the vessel passed out iuto the

to }

of the treasury no longer exists. Instead, we realize that the expenditures of the govern- mert will, at the expiration of the present! fiscal year, have expended the revenues more than $40,000,000. This is the whole case in a nutshell,

‘‘ There is an additional expenditure to be alded. It willarise if the federal elections | bill passes the senate and is generally put in operation, The estimate of cost on which | find that many competent authorities agree 1s $10 000,000. Of course, there are no pre- cedents to guide them in arriving at the fivares mentioned, but I think the sum of $10,000,000 is not too large. The deficit would thus amount to $53,000,000”.

So the ingenuiety of the Republicans has, it seems, solved the difficulty which troubled President Cleveland. There can | now be no excuse for lowering the scale of taxation or giving way to the demands of the Free Traders.

~ A Fine Sea Trip.

Those who wish to enjoya cheap and | pleasant sea triyy cannot do better thaa take the fine, new and commodious steamer

tween St. John, N. B., and New York. The officers of the ship, from the com- mander down, are kind and attentive, and the tables always supplied with an excellent bill of fare. Leaving St. John on the morning of Wednesday, July 2, at 5.30

| Bay of Fundy, calling at Eastport about 10 ia. m. and Bar Harbor about 6 p.m. same y. reaching the empire city at 430 a. m Friday, July 4th. After spending a week m and around the great city and Ocean ‘Grove, New Jersey, your correspondent ' again turned homewards, leaving New York on Saturday afternoon at 5 o'clock, touch ing at Bar Harbor at 3.30 a. m. Monday, Eastport at 4p. m., and reaching St. John ‘at9p. m. same evening. This boat is ‘capable of carrying a Sarge quantity of ‘freight, aud very strong inducements are ‘held out to freight shippers in New Bruns- j wick and P. Island. i We were kindly shown through the ship by the General Superiatendent, Captain Arey. The following is a list of her | officers :— Commander—Capt. Hiram H. Homer. Ist Oflicer—B. Rossiler. 2nd Officer—James W. Jones. Purser—John A. Lambert. Engineer—Geo. W. Kerst. | Steward—H.L. Banks. | The Winthrop was built in 1887 at Bath, | Maine. She is 195 feet from stem to stern, | 38 feet wide, 23 feet deep, 1,019 tons nett, | having main, ssloon and hurmeane decks, |} screw propellor, triple expansion condens- jing engine. The average speed is 14 knots fan hour. The ship is capable of comfort- | ably accommodating 300 first-class passeng- |ers. She is lighted throughout by the new electric lights and every state room and (flice is connected with the electric bells. She is amply provided with life-saving appliances; there are six metallic life boats properly furnished, two life rafts capable of holding 30 persons, besides 336 ordmary lite preservers,

and is also well provided with good and eflicient apparatus in case of fire.

On her last trip from New York every state room was occupied, so in future it will be wise to secure quarters in advance. Mr. H. D. McLeod is the popular general passenger and freight agent, and will sup- ply ali needed intormation. The flying visit to New York in the Winthrop was a pleasant trip and the following lines scem fully appropriate :—-

** There are scenes in our lives that we never forget,

even nuw, more actively engaged than other clerks, until « late hour on Saturday night. We hope to see our merchant grocers unite, one and all, in granting the Monday half- holiday to their employes, and in taking part in it themselves. If all agree, there

cannot be any trade lost on account of it;

while wellon to a hundred persons will have an opportunity to obtain needed rest

and recreation. A I rt Vnited States’ Finances.

WE are accustomed to think of the Unit- ed States’ Government as if it were in the happy condition of not knowing what to do with al! the money that is flowing into its Treasury. But if Senator (Ex-Speaker) Carlisle be right, or nearly right, the con- dition no longer exists. Senator Carlisle Says :

“The regular annual appropriations already passed and those pending, which, of course, must, in the main pass, amount to $359,000, - 000. With the permasent appropriations, amountiag te $110,000,000, added, the appro- priations for the fiscal year upon which the government has just entered, are swelled to $459 00),000 —a pretty sum in truth. Besides this vast amount of money, the sugar bounties assuming that the tariff bili now before the senate, and passed by the house, will pass, and the bill grantiog subsidies to the merchant marine, which has yet to pags one house, but which doubtless wiil pass, add $12,000,000 the first year. The recent additions to the pensions to be paid that were granted by the bai which passed the prescnt session, vill, when pt io fuil operation, reqrire about $8),- GU,0°° a year; not more than $12,000,000 or $15 000,000 ean be exp uded during the fises! year how progressiag, for the reason that the numeroas claims cannot be filed, cxamined and allowed in time.

“If 5ou will add % the $469.009,000 al. ready iucluded in my estimate, the $12,000, 000 (£ cive the lowest eatimate for the suvar eeunties and the shipping subsidies) and $12,- 000,000 ouly for the new pensions, the agure gate wil increase to 3192,000,0 0 The esti- maiol receipts furnished by the secretary of the ‘ressury are $450,000,000. The deticit will theretore amount to $45,500,009. The secretary of the treasury incindes the re- ceipts trom the postal service ia his comput-
