Not a Generous Response

A GENEROUS impulse moved the support ers of Mc. L. H. Davies in this city to of- fer to him the cup of consolation. Mr. Davies has worked hard, long, —and vainly. The sweets of oflive are yet far be- yond hislips. What natural than that his friends and supporters should ex- press their sympathy in a becoming way. We have nothing but commendation for this noble act of Mr. Davies’ supporters. Mr. Davies had, in the course of the recent session, a splendid opportunity to exert his

and

more

undoubted ability as a special pleader. It isto his credit that he improved the opportuni'y. Whatever their motives may} have} been, Mr. Tarte, and those who acted with him in ferreting out the facts of the McGreevy - Connolly robbery, are to be commended. As prosecutors and attorneys for the pros- ecution, they were justified in their en- deavor to expose the guilty bvodlers, and they are to be congratulated on their great success. Thatthey failed in implicating Sir Hector Langevin is no fault of theirs —they found it impossible to find Sir Hector guilty, simply because he was inno- cent. Therefore Mr. Davies’ supporters could, with the best grace in the world, offsr their cup of consolation under the cover of a testimonial in sapprecia- tion of his services. Their generous thoughtful act ought to have reacted upon Mr. Davies. He, too, ought, on the re- ception of the gift, to have been in a gen- erous, thoughtful mood. But he wasnt. In the course of his reply to the address cf presentation, Mr. Davies referred particu- larly to the tunnel scheme, but forgot en- tirely to say one word about the eminent services of Senator Howlan iu the tion of the tunnel scheme or to even men- tion the convincing speech of Mr. John McLeen in its behalf. He alludes to the estimates of Sir Douglas Fox, but does not say a word about the means by which those estimates were (in spite of him) obtained. Surely an acknowledgment of the services of Senator Howlan, Mr. Bain and others who took an active part in the promotion of the tunnel schem> ought, at such a time, when—with a new and handsome gold watch in his fob—he must have been ‘+ feeling good,” to have passed the lips of a

promo-

politician who aspires to a foremost place in Parliament.

Mr. Davies repels the idea that he is actuated, in respect to the tunnel, by his ** party politics.” Nevertheless, the bur- den of his discourse is still ‘*I and my party.” So far as the tunnel question is concerned it is nearly ali “I,” This, we fear, is still the ruling motive of Mr. Davies’ political conduct. There is noth- ing broad, or generous, or statesmanlike about the policy of the man who could dis- cuss the tunnel scheme and its prospects, and not mention the name of Senator fiowlan.

Notes and Comments.

—The Presb;terian Witness says :—

** Our Church of England brethren in Can- ada have done noble work among the Indians of the North West away up tothe Arctic Circle. They have preached the Gospel and led the pocr, forlorn hungry Indians to better lives.”

—There is naturally more interest taken in San Franciscu anent the possibie fate of the Sandwich Islands than in other parts of the United States. The San Francisco Call, therefore, is quick to rush to the res- cue of the islands from the alleged ‘*schem- ing” to get them under British control, and invokes the pale spectre of the Monroe doctrine to frighten all but United States ‘*schemers” away. ‘The Monroe doctrine is not so effective as a trump card as it used to be, and is now pretty much the wespou of the Jefferson Bricks. Perhaps the Hawaiians themselves may claim the right to decide what shall become of them.

—The Presbyterian Witness has the fol- lowing anent the outrageous dismissal of Mr. Nicholson :—

‘* We would profoundly regret the prosti- tution of educational offices to party purposes. Years ago, when a Government in Nova Scotia was on the lookout for a Superinten dent, they had the courage to select a geutle- man whose sympathies were with the opposi- tion; but that Government never had the slightest ground for regretting the selection it had made, I¢-required moral courage to make the sele@tjon ; but who does not in his heart of hearts admire the moral courage which leads to doing the right thing? We think the new Government in P. E. Island would have done wisely to have left Superin- tendent Nicbolsou in his place,—assuming always that he was an efficient officer.”

—The Patriot states that Mr. W. C Hobkirk has net received a Government appointment : ‘‘he has been merely called in temporarily to do some work that had fallen into arrears in one of the offices ” And at the time that he should have been doing that work Mr. Hobkirk went off to! the country to aff rd intellectual sustenance | and comfort for the Premier, while on a | shooting expedition ! We accept the | Patriot's statement that Mr. Hobkirk is’ only temporarily employed; and shall be | surprised to learn at the end of a year or! two that he has not, on one excuse or an- other, received from the Provincial trea- | sury several hundreds of dollars as a re- | ward for his services to the Premier.

—It is now believed that from three million bushels to five million bushes of wheat in northwestern Min- nesota will be ruined through rain and’ show. For several successive years the crops of Northern Dakota and Minnesota have been destroyed by drouth, by fire by tempest, or by frost, and the farmers many of whom are Canadians, became discouraged. Train loads moved into Manitoba and the Canadian Northwest, where they have

shared in the magnificent crops of this year. Tavse who decided to remain had just begun to rejoice over the fine harvest that had ripened without mishap, im the border states as well as in Canada, when, according to telegrams just received, im- mense injury has been done tv the unpgar- nered and unthreshed grain in Dakota and Minnesota by a great rain and snow storm. That the Canadian North-West is far pre- ferable to the American North-West has been abundantly proved by the experience of the farmers of both countries during the y3:t four or five years.

—The following remarks of President Eliot, in the Forum for October, will app!y ty towns in Canada as well as to those of the United States ; “Good municipsl ad-

ministration has now become absolutely impossible without the employment on_per- manent tenures,jof a large number of highly crained and highly paid experts in various arts and sciences as directors of the chef city departments, and the whole question of municipal reform is covered by the in- quiry, How can a city government be or- vanized so as to secure the service of these experts ? I believe that all re- form efforts ought to be primarily directed ro the means of procuring under demo- cratic government, as under aristocratic and autocratic governments, honest, high- ly trained, and we’! paid, permanent cffi- cials. The intelligent American closely resembles the intelligent European in pre- ferring an independent and permanent position. He wil always accept lower pay tor a steady jub. Before raouni- cipal government can be set right in the United States, municipal service must be made a life career fur intelligent and self- respecting young Americans. 7 aay that this reform is impracticable is equivalent to s:ying that American cities cannot be well conducted; and that is equi- valent to saying that the democratic form of government is going to be a failure for more than half the total population, Free institutions themselves are valuable only asa means of public well-being.”

—The Moncton Times remarks that while the Opposition in Canada are trying to con- vince the people that they should make al- most any sacrifice of trade with Great Britain and other countries to secure free access to the markets of the United States, it is x fact that under the same conditions our exports to the United States have been decreasing while our exports to Great Britain have been increasing. The figures below are interesting :—

The McKinley bill did not affect the ex- ports of 1888, 1889, or 1890, but it will be noticed that there was a considerable de- cline in those years in the leading exports to the United States included in the above table. The decline will be still more noticeable this year, but it is gratifying to know that there is a never failing and con- stantly growing market in the mother country for what we have to sell. We will be glad to trade with the people of the United States, but not authe price of our national existence,

Storage of Keresene Oil. Ono Saturday morning, the Stipendiary Magistrate issued a summons to one of our leading wholesale merchants, calling on him to show cause why he has not made the return to the City Clerk of the jyuantity of kerosene he has stored in the city, as im- peratively required by the city by-law. We uoderstand that other summonses are to fellow. It is in the interest of every citizen to report to the Marshal where this inflammable fluid is stored. From what we hear, the city is to day at the mercy of some six or seven merchants who keep large stores of this article. This summons, we learn, is to compel a return by everyone having kerosene on his premises. This firemen must know, as we may have the same fate overtake us as was witnessed in Halifax a few weeks ago. All persons keeping kerosene or other highly inflammable fluid for sale within the city shall deposit with the Clerk of the Board of Engineers, once in each quarter, a written statement of the quantity and description of kerosene or such barning fluid in their possession, and a full descrip- tion of the place or places in which they are deposited, When these returns are all in, then let the City Council provide a safe place out- side the city limits, and compel everyone, as they have the power to do, to store there only.

“ x LETTERS TO THE EDITOR A Complaint. —_— £1n,—Yesterday morning about two o'clock, | just in front of my residence on 7 (lueen | St , was enac'ed «a scene which would do credit to Pandemonium itself. A livery stable | keeper on Euston St, whoruns« beer den in conne*tion therewith, se!ling on Snadays | as well as on Moudays, had a dispute with a! coustomer in the saloon, eu'minating in the proprietor being ‘‘floored.” His assvilant thinking discretion the better part of valor,

sued by the liveryman, When ueaily opposite the homes of several respectable peup'e they commenced a vile tirade of ebuse against each other which pen could not depict. People alarmed by the noise jumped out of bed, raised the front windows and beheld.
