Bdaitorial Notes.

—Sir Leonard Tilley sailed for Canada | on Thursday, ia the Parisian. A desp atch

the railway has been opened trom Dakar |

from Paris states that

to St. Louis, in Sene cal. af Dr. Fia, whe was commissioned by | the German Government to explore

Kaiser Wilhelmsland, has completed that part of his work which involved the coast hetween Astrolaba and Humboldt bays. lie reports the existence of good har- bors aud of a navigable river, and that the land is suitable for farming and stock raising, aud is inhabited by natives

who are friendly.

says

~ A deputation of Nova Scotia mem-

Levs, headed by Dr. Fortin, M. P., recently waited on the Minister of Marine and Fisheries to urge that all

imported fish oils be subjected to duty, and that oils should be regularly classi fied for eutry, so that oils capable of being used for medical purposes should pay a higher rate of duty in order to encourage the refining of medical oils in the Dominion. It was shown that Nor- wegian medical oils are beicg sold from $2.75 to $5 per gallon, while the same class of oils is sold by Canadian fisher- men at 40 cents per gallop, whilst the eost of refining is claimed to be trifling. The deputation were assured that their representations would receive the careful! consideration of the Government.

— The Montreal Herald, after point- iog out that Mr. Blake selected a very inopportune time for his attack on the Government’s Northwest policy, says :

‘*Me. Blake can convinces no one outside of the rebel camp and their few sympathiz- ers that the rebels were justified in taking up arms against the Government—in incit indians to tloodshed and murder in taking possession cf a con-

lerable tract of country and terrorizing ite 'm»vabitants and arresting and robbing Jl who entered it—establishing a pro-

ing the

er aad pillage—

vineial government, robbing storekeepers and farmers and the lawfal Government in

‘dee to support this bogus institu- tion, and, generally, in depriving loyal Canadians of life, liberty and property. Bat Mr. Blake is laboring to do this. He is, in effect, laboring for

tha acquittal of the half-breeds and Indians taken mm arms and for the punishment of the Government in their stead. He must be supposed to be hoping for the sympathy which such an attitude should bring him from the disatiected in the Northwes'; and his more extreme followers, no doubt, are expecting that he will add to his party’s strength in certain quarters by such an exhibition. But Mr. Blake and these ex- tremista should consider the effect of such sympathy and such support on the minds ef loyal Canadians—and nearly all Canadians are loyal to the core. It is use- less for bim to tell the friends of the killed and wounded in the North West, or to tell those whose millions of treasure have gone to the North West to suppress the rebellion, that there was any justification for the rebel outrages, or for rebellion at all, or for him to endeavor to create that impression by argument and the reading of documents without making the statement on his own responsibility. Canadiana generally are sufficiently keen sighted to perceive the drift of Mr Bleke’s reasoning and the meaning of his attacks, and if these have any meaning, they point to a desire, from motives of his own, to place himself in sympathy with the rebels. We ao know not a public man in Canada who can afford to take this position, nor is there another besides Mr. Bake who would take such risks. Thatheis found doing so ie not due to an excessive amount of courage or daring, (for Mr. Blake is a timid leader) but is rather owing to a fai’ure to appreciate the strength of the loyal feeling of the country.°

— Of poor Qiio, ove of the earliest victims of the Northwest rising, the Marquis of Lorne thus writes in the Fortnightly: *‘He was a survivor of the great massacre by Indians in Miunesota in 1865, when ove thousand five hundred whites were killed. Quvin, for so the mab was named, Lad esceped wounded. He was my interpreter during a long council held with the Crees near Battle- ford, aud | asked himif in 1863 he had Lo warning of the trouble. ‘No sir,’ he emphatically said, ‘we had been talking to the Sioux on the day on which the murdering began, and those indians were just as civil to us then, when they had determined on our death thet wight, as your Indians here have been to you.’ Of another noted actor o the recent troubles, he writes: ** Poundmaker, whose very name—the maker of the pousd to impound the bufifalo—shows how the cld huating days have passed away for ever, the Cree chief who lately took prisoner the Hud- son’s Bay factor and several families of settlers, and had a sharp fight with Col. Octer’s troops, joined party in 1881 at Battleford, and acted as our guide for several hundred miles, until we got to the fronciers of America, iu Montana. Although a Cree, he had been much with their hereditary evemies, the Blackfeet, to whose country he guided us, and had been instrumental in keeping the peace between these old evemies. He seemed to have been im- pressed with what he heard on that Journey, for when he went back, he made an excelleut speech to his tribe, telling them that it was for their good always to be friendly to the whites who had so many Warriors always coming from the South and East, avd that bis people must cultivate the land, for that would give therm for which hunting couid not give | tiem vow, and ‘above all’ he was gaid | to have concloded, ‘let the women not run xhout ‘rom lodge to lodge bearing | taies aud makiog mischief in the camp.’ ”

The Scott Act.

Says the Montreal Gazette, the leading organ of the Goverument, The determi- nation of the Serate to adhere to the amendment permitting the sale of beer and liwht wines under ihe Seotté ia deeply to From the introduction o the bill which opened the discnssion of} the prohibition question, the opponents of | local option anl of temperance legislation have pursued questionable methods. The Scott Act was enacted some years ago; six'y counties in Canada have taken advantige cf its provisions to prohibit the retail sale of liquor, and the need of machinery to give expression to the views of the people of | small districtson the subject of the liquor | trattic has been generally recognized, but a recent decision of the court’s cast a doubt upon the legality of the penal clauses of the measure, and unless this doubt was remov- | ed by amendments to the act, it would be- come practically imperative. The object of | the amending bill was thus explained by Mr. Foster on its introduction :-—

‘It ig not simply some little trifling amendments to be made to the bill in order to render it more workable than at present, but it is intended to do away with difficul-| ties which stand directly in front of the working of the bill. There happened to be in the legislation of 1883 a clause which, according to the interpretation of the Supreme Court of New Brunswick, entirely takes away ithe procedure and penalties of | the Canada Temperance Act. If that be a! good rendering of the law, as we must take

DATS #

it to be now, if there is no appeal from it, it is in the opinion of perance people of very great import- aice that the difliculty should be removed and when I speak of the temperance people I do not speak simply of the mover of the bili and myself, but of those many thous- and hundreds of thousands in this country, who have so far liked this bill as to adopt it and endeavor to have it carried out in their counties and cilies. It is chiefly to remove that difficulty and to make the act workable, which under the decision of the Supreme Court of New srunswick would not be workable, that the bill is introduced.”

The Senate has deemed it fit to take ad- vantage of these amendments to destroy

ands

and to deprive the counties in which it has been adopted of the benefit of the partial prohibition. And it has done this under cover of a bill in no way affecting the prin- ciple of the act, in no way rendering it more stringent, or exposing the germ ques tiov to new discussion. The p»ople of sixty counties have pronounced for prohi- bition in good faith, and now becauso the courts have declared the measure by which such prohibiticn can be enforced, faulty in some of its provisions, the Senate endeavors to deprive the people of even the right of local option. The result of the late vote in the Senate is to kill the bill, and to place in doubt the efficacy of the Scott Act. Had the Senate taken the broad end intelligent ground that prohibi- tion secured by a bare majurity of the votes cast, does not prohibit, that a mera: senti ment in the community is essential to the enforcement of the law, and that unless a substential, a determining majority, is polled in favor of the prohibitory measure it ought not to be imposed, there might have been given a wide-spread approval of their conduct. But in taking advantage of @ mere matter of detail to destroy the whole scope of the Scott Act, the Senate has committed a blunder, the consequence of which may be far-reaching.

Births, Deaths and Marriages.

From the forty-sixth annual report of the registrar-g:neral of births, deaths and marriages in England, just issued asa blue book, it appeers that the numbers of births aud deaths revistered in the year 1883 were respectively 890,722 and 522.997. The na‘ural increment of the population, or ex- cess of births over deaths, was, therefore, 367,725, equal to 1 38 per cent. of the esti- mated pepniation at the beginning of the year. The natural increment was somewha‘ lower than in the preceding year, when it was 372,360. Tho falling off was not duc to »n iperease in mortality, for the death rate fell slightly in 1883, but to a decline in the birth rate, which was 33.7 in 1882, but f-il to 33.3 in 1883 The marriages regie- tered in 1883 numbered 206,384, giving a rate of 15.4 persons married to 1,000 per- sons living. This was practically the same rate os that recorded in 1882, which was 15.5. The registrar-general notes that again, a8 in recent years, the marriage rate has varied in the same direction as the value of British exports and as the average prico of wheat—that is to say, all three showed a decline in 1883, A similar de- cline tock place in the amount per head of population cleared at the Bankers’ clearing- honse. Of the total number of moerriages 147,000, or 71.2 per cent., were solemvized according to the rites of the Established Charch, and 59,384, or 288 yer cent, otherwise. In 1841 934 per ccnt. of a’! marriages were solemniz-d according to the rites of the Established Church, but from that date, with scarcely a single break, the proportion hes fallen year by year till it reached tho present and lowest fizure. The figures show a further decrease in the proportion of marriages by license and a further increas® 1u the proportion of those by banns, which has been rising continu- ously since 1856.60. Commenting upona tabie showing tho mean ages at marriage, the Registrar-general observes that the English are a people much given to matri- inony. Not only is their annual marriage- ra‘e higher than those of ell other Brro- pean countries of which ststistics are given, with the exceptions of the German ani the Austro-Hungarian empires, but they also marry at an earlier § age than is tho case in any other European country excepting Russia. births, which, as already stated, numbered 890 722, were in the proportion of 33.3 per 1,000 persons living, this being the low- est rate recorded since 1853, when it was exac ly the game. For some reason as yet unexplained the proportion of male to! female births in Eagland and Wales has been gredually deelining Taking the} whote of Ex gland ani Wales,and neglecting | decimals, one chil’ out of 20 is born out of | wedlock. The deaths registered were in the | proportion of 19 5 te 1,000 people living, | this, with the single exception of the rate of | 18 9 in 1881, being the lowest yet recorded, | Oi the persons who died in th» year 63) were stated to have compl: ted a century of | ifs, 13 of these reputed centenarians being | maies and 50 being females.

The preface to General Grant's forthcom- | ing book will be as follows :—

‘*Man proposes and God disposes” There are but few important events in the affairs of men brought about by their own choice. Although frequently urged by frievds to write my memoirs, | had never determined to do so, nor to write anything for p: b'ication. At the age of nerrly 6: 1) received an injury from a fall which con fined me closely to the house, while ii dil not apparently affect my gencral health. Shortly after, the rascality of a busines: partner developed itself by the announce- mont of a failure. This was followed soon after by universal depression of ail securities which seemed to threaten the extinction of a good part of the income still retained, and for which | am indeb ed to the kindly acts of friends. At this junc- ture the editor of the Century Magazine aked m3 to write afew articles for him I consented for the money it gave me, for at that moment I was living upon borrowed money. The work I fount congenial, and I deterwined to continue. The event is an impor'ant one for me, for good or evil. I hope for the former.

In preparing these volumes for the pub- lic L have entered upon the task with the sincere desire to avoid doing injustice to anyone, whether on the national or Con- federate eide, other than the unavoidable injustice of not making mention often where special mention is due. There must be many errors of omission in this work, becanse the aubject is too Jarge to be

Russian Wiles and Women.

The predilections of Russian diplomacy for female spies end agents are, as we know to our cost, too often justified by their suc- cesses in high quarters susceptible to such influences) But it certainly is news to us to learn from M. Vambery that the sinister dexterity which has done such mischief pearer home has been employed with the like fatal reeults among the wild Turkomans of Merv. The ‘‘ voluntary surrender” of that celebrated stronghold was procured by Sir Peter Lumeden’s versatile acquaintance,

Col. Alikanheff. And this is how the * astute Caucasian” went to work, The widow of the late chief Mak-

dumkuli Khan erjoyed high considera- tion in her tribe, and the Russian deter- mined towin her. She was plied with presents and with flattery, and she pre- sently succumbed. She devoted all her influence with her countrymen to the service of her euployers. They became Russian objects and shea Russian pen- sioner. But the strangest part of the story is that the Czarina herself condercended to act the female agent on this oceasion. It was from her exalted hands that ‘‘the richly-ernamented gold-woven dress’? came, which did poor Gul Djemal’s business and sealed the fate of Merv.-—St. James’ Gasette

Murderous Anarchists.

A Brussels’ despatch of the 10th inet says : ‘The polics here, on information and application from Franee and Rassia, dis- covered a nest of anarchists in a populous suburb of the city. They were taken un- awares. It seems they had decided to fight the police with pistels in case they were detected, but the police managed matters s> adroitly that twenty anarchists were arrested without an opportunity being given them for resistance. Among them were two French and two Russian nihilists who will be expelled from Belvian territory even if no fact justifies their surrender and extradition to France or Russia. Besides firearws there were found revolutionary decuments and a full list of members of the organization. The police believe that the anarchists were plotting against the Czar. However, the authorities refuse to give publicity to the details.

Woman's Rights.

The world mcves! The following item, which we take from the San Francisco Chronicle, shows that some wemen are fully equal so the occasion: ‘Mrs. Alice A. Hinkle, wife of Phillip Hinkle, the well known elevator constructor, has filed a petition in court, to become a sole trader inthe business of carrying on boarding house,to buy and sell real estate,sell letters patent, and to operate, manufacture, lease and sell patent articles, elevators, tram- ways end vehicles. She expects to place $5000 capital in the business, and in her anplication states that her husband, aged G7 years, and her mother, aged 60, are dependent upon her for a living. She asserts ihat her husband is unable to sup- port her, but she does not sue for a divorce because she has no Jegal grounds for obtain-

ing one,”
