And then, the coun- try over, there is the broad difference between he policies of the two parties which oppon- nts of the Government wil! not be able to detract attention from by rising local issues. Lhe Conservatives can point Lo the growth in the manufactures of the gountry, and the essarily increased employment given to the people, which has maiked the period of their rule; to the development of the rai]way sys- tem, which they have aided and will continue to ul, and in which every section of the Dominion has shared; to the growth of the population, as shown in the statistics of the chief cities ; to the more than satisfactory con- dition of business, evidenced by the trade _re- turns, and the activity that prevails in all manufacturing industries, and to the prospec- tive development that awaits the trana- Pacific trade route across the continent, which must mier many benefits upon the Canadian people, The Liberals have to show, as the inct of their eight years in oppo- sition, nothing but a series of ecrit- sm and fault-tinding, a host of evil prophesyings that have been demolished 1e logic of events,and a worn-out charge of ravagance that their leading men admit to unfounded when they can hold out no hope of a reduction of taxation as the result of their There can be no halting in the choice between these two records, between men who have done the utmost in their power, nd done it with effect, and those who have y to tind fanit.

After laying before its readers a resume of the history of the questions in dispute, it ably defends the Canadian contention and

lows:

‘** There are certain clauses of the treaty of 1818 which are interpreted differently by English and American lawyers, But they are not those eon which the present quarrel turns. As tothe main provisions there can be no dispute. The Canadians have a right having, in fact, obtained it by a hard bar- gain) to keep their New Enyland rivals out of their waters. On that right they take their stand. The American Secretary contends that they really must not do anything of the kind, because that would be extremely unkind, ungenerous, and ill-natured. You agree, said the colon- ists, that your citizens would not do certain things, and that we might punish them if they did. ‘Stick to your agreement,’ ‘Certainly not,’ reply the Americans; ‘we must point out to you that to exercise your contract rights would be most uncivil, and we must therefore ask youto forego them.’ This, in brief, is the substance of the letters between Lord Rosebery, Lord Iddesleigh and Mr. Secretary Bayard which Mr Cleveland has laid before Congress. The ‘comity of nations, courtesy and justice,’ says the United States representative, ‘tnust be the ruling motives and objects of the discussion; the administra- tium of the Canadian fishery laws must not be carried on in ‘a punitive or hostile spirit, and soon.

valuable rights; some of which, we repeat, they obtained solely in return for good and valuable consideration gained by the .Ameri-

uns. But there ought to be no difficulty in coming to such an arrangement as will restore the fairly satisfactory relations which prevail ed under the Washington Treaty. Here is no question of sentiment, race antipathy, or | wounded pride. It is a pure matter of busi- i neas, and the two great business communities of the Old and New World owe it to themselves to tind a way of arranying it by the quiet, metter-of-fect methods which we always sup- pose to ve followed by Englishmen and Ameri- cans in their private aad international affairs, But no such an arrangement is possible unless legal rights are recognized as something per- fectly distinct from courtesy, the comity of nations, and all such vague and _ indefinite things.”

Editorial Notes.

_. It is regarded as significant that all the ‘abor candidates in. the Ontario elections were pronounced **Prohibitionists.’

— The Opposition papers point out that there has been a decrease in the shipping ewned in the Maritime Provinces, and in- sinuate, if they do not openly state, that it is due to the National Policy of the Gov- ernment. But they forget to say that the decrease has, at the same time, been pro- portionally greater in Free Trade England than in Canada.

Here is one: ing the night mysterious strangers visited the township of Wallace and attempted to force small suns of money upon friends of Mr. Heas, the Conservative candidate, under the pre tence that the cash was a bribe in Mr. Hess’s interests. he idea was to get the money into the hands of the Tories, and then to reduce or wipe out the Conservative majority by swearing the elec- tors whe had accepted the money as they came to vote, and afterwards, inthe event of Mr. Hess's success, to appeal against his election on the charge of bribery.

The Condition of Kerry. In the rent conspiracy cases General Buller testified as to the condition of Kerry. He said he had not inquired into the re- lations between the landlords and tenants but had made representations to some landlords as to some of their tenants and had pointed out cases of hardship on the Marquis of Lansdowne’s property. Sir Michael Hicks-Beach was examined with some reference to his Bristul speech. He admitted pressure was put upon certain landlords. to make terms with the tenants He declined to say whether it was a moral or physical pressure, or by whom enforced, or whether in any case..it was successful. He did not think the landlord would be doing his duty if he evicted tenants for not paying an exerbitant rent. At the con- clusion of Sir Michael’s testimony the court adjourned.
