An Explanation Required.
Tue Local Government have issued au advertisement, calling for tenders ‘ from any person willing to purchase all or any portion of 9) boxes of cents, containing $100 each, made up in 50 cent packages, now lying in the Provincial Treasury.”
These cents were, we understand, part of a supply obtained by the Government after the introduction of the decimal currency. As many as the Province required for cir- culation have been purchased at their face value. The balance, the Government pro- pose to place in the hands of speculators, at whatever price speculators will give. Is this fair? Will not the country be flooded with coppers of depreciated value?) Will not these coppers be an unmitigated nuis- ance? Is the Rump Government so hard up that it must needs slaughter these cents for the benefit only of a few speculators ? These are questions which people are ask: ing, and which the Local Premier would do well to have answered.

Capital Coming Out.
Iv is announced, by telegraph from Paris, that Mr. Drummond, the Montreal Sugar tefiner, on hearing the results of the elec- tions, at once determined to start for Can- ada on the 2Ist inst. Without doubt his capital and machinery will again be im oper ation in the course of a few months. In the course of a year or two other Refineries will be opened. Employment will then be eiven to hundreds of workmen who, with their families, will bless the day the Me- Kenzie Government was deprived of power Employment will also, through them, be ziven to some of our idle ships and sailors. Miners will be employed in supplying the coal. The West India And farmers will have

Doing its Duty.
Tue Patriot takes to its role of an ‘‘ organ of the Opposition’ as naturally as a duck takes to water. Its promptness in anticipating the action of Sir John’s Goy- ernment respecting Civil Service officials is highly commendable. The soundness of its conclusions may, however, be doubted. True, the United States system of a ‘‘clean sweep” is not popular in Canada. But it is a regulation of the Civil Service that officials shall not take active parts in poli- tics. A large proportian of the Grit offi- cials of this Province have clearly broken this regulation. ‘They have thereby for- feited their offices.
In order that the Civil Service may be kept out of politics—in order that the vicious system prevailing in the United States may not be introduced into Canada —it is absolutely necessary that all such officials shall be severely punished. The efficiency of the Civil Service and the in- terests of the country alike demand the summary dismissal of all who have forfeited their offices by taking an active part in the late campaign. The Civil Service cannot be kept (as it should be kept) high above party, if Civil Service officials are permitted to act the parts of rabid partizans. Those who risk their offices for the sake of their party must be prepared to take the conse- quences if their party fails. Men who live by the sword cannot reasonably complain if they fall by the sword; and those officials who lately were active and obnoxious in their endeavors to secure the return of the McKenzie Party may as well, at once, pre- pare themselves for the inevitable dismissal, The Patriot, in our opinion, failed in its duty when it failed to warn Grit officials of the imminent risks they ran. Nor do we think it is doing its duty now when it en- deavors to set at rest the minds of officials who have been guilty of a gross breach of Civil Service discipline.
ee OP © EP 0 -——-—--—-——- —--- Coin Through the Mails.
After a vast anount of debate, discus- sion and deliberation, the U. 8. Govern- ment has decided to transmit coin through the mails as third-class matter, and the ex- press companies are boiling over with wrath accordingly. That there will be certain risks to run in this arrangement, there can be no doubt, but the Government: high powers have come to the conclusion that a pecuniary gain will be theirs by taking the transportation risks, thereby saving the large amounts hitherto paid for expressage. Coin thus remitted will be accompanied by a strong guard, which will cost far less than the rates of insurance heretofore allowed to the express companies and which has added so much to the ex- pense of transporting coin and other Gov-

The English Government.
The Government has been completely recast during the past twelve months. Mr. W. H. Smith, Sir Michael Hicks Beach, Lord Sandon and Colonel Stanley have all become Cabinet Ministers. They have re- placed Lord Malmesbury, Mr. Ward Hunt, Lord Carnarvon and Lord Derby. These promotions have led to a general re-arrange- ment of the less important offices. Mr. Lowther, Lord George Hamilton, Mr. E. Stanhope and Sir Selwyn Ibbetoon have been advanced to posts of greater responsi- bility. The new men who have joined the Ministry are the Duke of Northumberland, Sir Matthew White Ridley, Lord Bury and Mr. Talbot. In making these changes, the Premier has acted upon the principle, that has always guided him, of promoting young and energetic supporters. It is always a drawback with the Liberals that the offices are kept, in -consequence of the party organization, in the hands of men in advanced life. Over a_ body of men comparatively inexperienced in official life, Sir Stafford Northcote naturally exercises great influence. Mr. Cross, who is second man, now that Mr. Hardy has been raised to the peerage, in his mannerand mode of speech, is not so conciliatory as the Chancellor of the Ex- chequer, and when, on one or two occa- sions during the session it fell to him to conduct the business of the House, his in- feriority to Sir Stafford was conspicuous. The latter has not a particle of the genius of Lord Beaconsfield or the ability of Mr. Gladstone, but he is beyond all doubt the best possible leader of the Conservatives in the House of Commons. The party have the cards in their hands, and if they use their power with judgment, they may re- tain their hold on the constituencies for some years yet. But to accomplish this, they must do something. Foreign questions have predominated during the last two or three sessions, and home legislation has been greatly neglected. The people will now look for changes of a social adminis-, trative character.

Petroleum in Russia. Southern Russia threatens to become a rival to America in the product of petro- leum. The persons who some time ago found oil near the shores of the Caspian Sea, are reported to have turned their dis- covery to profit. From one of the wells a stream, free from gas and froth, is foreed to a height of seventy-five feet, yielding at the rate of 10,000 barrels a day. It is be- lieved that oil abounds in Circassia, Geor- gia and Astrachan, and that when improved methods of drilling and pumping the wells have been devised, oil will be got in im- mense quantities. Companies are already forming, it is reported, at Odessa, Novo Tcherkosh, and other vities for the purpose of obtaining oil.

the Harvest.
The Mark Lane Express states that a large quantity of wheat has doubtless been secured under favorable conditions, but farmers seem to have been in a hurry to thrash, judging by the comparatively liberal offerings of new corn at the country mar- kets, the samples showing unmistakeable traces of deteriorated condition. There are, as usual, various reports as to the re- sults of thrashing, some farmers complain- ing of a very poor yield of corn in propor- tion to straw, and others expressing their satisfaction at a yield of from eight to ten sacks an acre. Harvest is now quite gen- « alin Scotland, and until the last week or seu days the weather was all that could be desired; but out-door labor has been a good deal interrupted of late by copious show- ers. The crops on the light dry soils, which suffered much from the drought in July, may yield variously; but in general a heavy yield of cereals is anticipated, and all that is now wanted is fine drying weath- er for the ingathering.

General Hints to Young Farmers.
When commencing your agricultural life, remember that industry, economy and integ- rity will insure success, and form the best cap- ital that can be employed.
Plow deep. The wealth of the soil is not all within six inches of the surface,
Cultivate thoroughly if you wish to reap abundantly. Do not waste your means, and fritter away your time by raising a crop of noxious weeds.
Keep a watchful eye upon the farm and its surroundings. But it does not follow that you should imbibe ‘‘ eye-openers” at public houses, beer shops or corner groceries.
Shear your sheep at the season when you shed your coat for the season, Then be care- ful that some smart ‘‘ travelling agent’ does not pull the wool over your eyes and shear you. " Dress your lands with fertilizers rather than yourself with broadcloth. The one emburses the amount expended with interest—the other returns nothing, but continually clamors for further disbursements,
Atter your crop has been raised, it will be wisdom to raise any mortgage which may be resting upon the farm. ‘This will raise a heavy load from your mind, and raise your courage and and spirits beyond measure.
Do not curry favors with the rich or great. If you must do something of the kind, just curry your cattle and horses. This will do them good, and benetit you also.
When, by reason of inclement weather, you cannot cultivate the soil, it will be wisdom on your part to cultivate the mind, A valuable harvest will reward all earnest and faithful culture.
Never allow yourself to be inveigled into “running in debt.”” When you are tempted to do so, go into your field and plant an extra acre with some edible crop.
he Sheriff is an undesirable acquaintance. Avoid him as you would a pestilence. This can easily be done by paying cash on the spot for everything your purchase.
Remember that everything of value we hon- estly obtain is the result of diligence and in- telligence. Do not, therefore, expect prosper- ity unless you are willing to work for it.
Make the collection and compositing of fer- tilizing materials a constant employment. ‘The odor of your manure heap should be more at- tractive to you than the smell of the whisky shop.
Of course you will become the owner and raiser of stock. No farm is complete that ig- nores stock raising. Get the best, which is always the cheapest in the end. Give serubs a wide berth.
Never purchase farm utensils because they are cheap. Cheap tools are an unmitigated nuisance. The best workman in the world cannot make a good job with them. It is economy to buy the best, no matter what the price may be.
Do not unwisely imagine that you will be able to “‘get along” without books and papers relating to agriculture. Successful farmers read extensively and consider the money they spend for the purpose their best investment. Occasionally, some ignoramus gets rich by “main strength and awkwardness.”’ This is an exception to the rule, however. Read good agricultural books and subscribe for at least one agricultural journal, but it will pay to take several.

Deatu oF Lory LaupeRDALE.—The Earl of Landerdale, G. C. B., Admiral of the fleet, has died at Thirlestane Castle, Ber- wickshire, aged 75. His Lordship was 11th Earl in the peerage of Scotland, and was a representative peer, and hereditary stand- ard bearer of Scotland. He was for 30 years on active service, and commanded Her Majesty’s ship Tweed on the Spanish coast during the civil war in 1836-7. For his services at that period he received the Order of Charles III. of Spain. He suc- ceeded tothe title on the death of his cousin in 1863. He had four children, but only one survives him, Mary Jane, Lady Brabazon. Mr. Charles Maitland, who is great-great-grandson of the second son of the sixth Earl, succeeds to the title.

Nava.—-A letter to the Harbor Master of Charlottetown states that H. M. Ships Bellerophon, Sirius and Argus will leave Halifax on Monday, the 23rd inst., and may be expected here about Wednesday. This news will, we know, cause quite a flutter of excitement among the fair ladies of the city.
+e -— — An Astonishing Fact.
A large proportion of the American peo ple are to-day dying from the effects of Dyspepsia or disordered liver. The result of these diseases upon the masses of in- telligent and valuable people is most alarm- ing, making life actually a burden instead of a pleasant existence of enjoyment and usefulness as it ought to be. There is no good reason for this, if you will only throw aside prejudice and skepticism, take the ad- vice of druggists and your friends, and try one bottle of Green’s August Flower. Your spoedy relief is certain. Millions of bottles
of this medicine have been given away to try its virtues, with satisfactory results in every case. You can buy a sample bottle for 19 cents to try. Three doses will re- lieve the worst case. Positively sold by all
ernment valuables,
