NOTES AND COMMENTS .-

—The tobacco factory of Mr. D. Nichol- son has been closed asa result of the re- cent tariff tinkering.

—Halitax Herald: The Turk during the past week bas given the powers a strong suggestion that if he wins a few more battles he will want the whole of Europe.

—St. John Telegraph: Eyery person recognizes the fact that the result of tbe Quebec elections is to remove the Mani- toha school question from the political arena.

—TIt is reported that the Dartmon’h Rope Works are tobe closedup. The tant tinkerer again! What would have liappened if the Liberals had fulfilled their promises and “ eliminated protection from the tariff.”

—Mr. Laurier prom'sel, in the face of Parliament, that such post-election ap-

intments of the late Gov:rnment as bad een sanctioned by the Governor-General

ehould be respected. As an example of ministerial reliability, it is worthy of note that the appointment of James Yeo, Esq., ef Port Hill, as Inspector of Fisheries has been cancelled by order-in-council.

—Anotber item in the cost to Canada of the Manitoba School Sett!ement has been supplied inthe claim of the Manitoba Government on account of buildings e:ec - ed) by the Province in 1855 to the tune of ent million dollars. The claim will be recognized asa matter of course. The Manitoba School Settlement, brought about Ly suany ways, is a dear business for Canada !

—Senator McInnes addressed the Ottawa Board of Trade,a few evenings ago in ad- vocaty of his proposition to establish a Canadian mint. He said it was costing €annda an average of $8,900 a year to mint ® comparatively small amount of silver avd copper in England, and that a €anadian mint which could give all the coin, gold, silver or copper which Canada would require could be operated at no greater expenge. The Board of Trade passed a resolution heartily endorsing the Senator’s idea

—The Hants Journal reports the return to Windsor of the Archdeacon of Prince Edward Island, and says that “ he speaks in the highest terms of the new steamer,

the Princess, which now plies between Pictou and Charlottetown. “She is,” it is added by the Archdeacon, “an iron pro- pellor of the most improved pattern, and easily steams over 13 knots, making the trip in less than 3{ hours. Her fittings are in good taste and staterooms and saloons extremely comfortable. There is also a large and well appointed smoking room on deck. A fine and uninterrupted promenade is afforded on-each side the deck houses from stem to stern. With such first-class and well-fitted steamers as the Northumberland and Princess plying to P. BE. Island, the Prince Rapert on the Bay of Fundy, and the Boston and Yar- mouth plying between those cities, the Maritime Provinces may well feel proud of possessing passenger steamers which are second to none of their size found ib the most fashionable waters of the U nited States.” Ictis evident that the fact that we have such up-to date steamers as the Northumberland and Princess will soon be noised abroad ; and we may hope for a gontinued imcrease in the number of sum- mer visitors te our -hospitable Island home.

-~-Mr. Martin has upon the order paper she follewing questions :

“1. Why have the services of Thomas J. Dillon, Dairy Inspector of Prince

Edward Island, been dispensed with ?

«2 If Mr. Dillon withdrew from the service, what reasons did he give the Minister of Agriotres or ner official of

is department for doing 80 « 3. Who is to succeed Mr. Dillon ?

«4. What position is Mr. Woodward to eceupy in the dairy service in Prince Ed-

sland ?

se What are Mr. Woodward’s quali-

jcations and experience in the dairy ervice? Ss

a §. Iahe arelation of the Minister of

Agriculture? ”

Mr. Martin also asks: acai

1.“Why has Charles EK. McDora

(late iene light-keeper) at Fish Island,

wn. che Province of Prince Edward Island,

heen removed, and when ?

» “Was Mr. McDonald one of those re- eommended on the 6th day of July last for permanent appointment by the late Ad- ministration ?

3. “Did the Government on the 8th of September last, declare by Order in Coun- eil that the recommendation in Mr. Mc- Dovald’s case was one from which His Excellenzy the Governor General did not withold his approval by his memoran-

dum of the 8th of July last ?”
