Disposition of the Indians.
‘The Montreal Herald proposes that instead of leaving the Northwest Indians Dow are, on small reservations scattered about the Saskatchewan valley and the line of the . 2a oe within dis- tapee of eas iuter-communication, they be massed on one reservation to the north of the North Saskatchewan. The Herald says that “in the one case they will be a never-failing source of annoy- ance in quiet times and of danger in disturbed times to the settlements now existing, or those that will be made; 10 the other they will be at a distance and be more easily supervised. Where they are, the country desti- tute of game; to the is a country abounding in animals. In the Saskatchewan must be fed by the taxpayers throughout the year, for the farming of the preseut generation of Indians practically means the planting of the seed grain given them in the family kettle and the raising of the Indian estimates brought down in Parliament. In the alternative country there is a vast region where trapping aud hunting will not involve inter- course of any kind with the settle's but will enable the older Indians to par- tially earn their livelihood in a manner to which they are accustomed. The civilizing progress amongst the young can be continued as easily, probably
as they
is north fur-bearing they
more easily, after the proposed removal |
than in a state of things that experience has shown leads only to the demoraliza- tion of the Indian, accompanied by danger to the settlements.”
The Herald's proposal would be all right if the Indians could be persuaded to agree to it. But Canada will not permit the treaties at present in existene to be broken without the Indians’ consent, simply because to do so would please some settlers in he Northwest Territories. The fact that a few of the Indians under Poundmaker and Big Bear yielded to the arts of Riel and revolted,is not a good and sufficient reason for forcibly sequestrating the whole Indian people. Let the rebels be dealt with according to the law, and do with the others as we would be done by.

The Canadian Exhibit at Antwerp.
The press of France, Belgium and Germany are still unanimous in their praises of our section atthe Antwerp Exhibition. A writer in the journal Les Nouvelles du Jour, of Brussels, in a recent number, speaks thus of Canada: “ Placed iu the middle of three great nations (England, France and Germany) Canada entirely holds her own. The Canadian section has become one of the attractions of the International Exhibi- tion. The exhibition of cereals, miner- als, woods, knitting machines, wall papers, avd above all of furniture has been a real revelation.” Another jour- nal, the Nouvelliste de Rowen, has called Canada’s success at Antwerp a “ Pacific Revoluticn.” No pun was intended, we may be sure. but the article in question will do much to attract the attention of the Rouen Manufacturers towards the Dominion, and the development of the Pacific Line. The remarks are couched in a spirit of the highest eulogy, and the writer says that ‘‘Canada may be a small nation to-day but to-morrow she will become great and will undoubtedly become the Granary of the Eastern World.”
It is such remarks as these, emanating from an enlightened press, which show the wisdom of our Legislators in having the coyutry so well represented at Ant- werp; and the great success achieved has proved to a demonstration that the representation is in able hands. Brazil straining every nerve to force her coffee upon the European markets, and to induce emigration to her shores. She has her own press organs in Ant- werp, aud everything is painted in glowing colors, but as yet the heart of the public is uumoved. Canada, from the very first, took up a well defined place in public estimation and thanks to
is
those who represent her, she has main- tained it. At the beginning of this
preseut month,the Yorkshire Post (Leeds Daily) had au interesting article on “Fields for Investments,” and in course of this, the writer says :—“If the heart of Africa be too warm to suit the adventur- er, Canada offers him a_ project for establishing a new sea route between the Canadian Northwest and Europe via the
icy waters of Hudson’s Bay.” The foregoiog extracts prove that the
Dominion is attracting no inconsiderable |
share of European attention.

“Death and Afterward.”
Edwin Arnold, author of “The Light of Asia,’ has an article on one of the latest reviews which an English corres- pondent says “is the best poem yet from Mr. Arnolds pen.” The article founded on Longfellow’s idea that ‘*death is but a transition,” or, in view of late Rev. George
surrender of the garment of pain.’ Mr.
Arvold says:—‘Death arrives not like M. de Paris, to strip a crimiaal or lop away from him his life, but as a mother luiling her children to sleep that they | may wake ready for play on a fresh
morning.

Our farmers will, no doubt, mark the warning contained in the extract from the St. John Telegraph, published in an- other column. It is too much the habit of some persons to listen to the explau ations of iliverent commercial gentlemen whom they do not know. A much bet- ter plan is to stand by the honest resident dealer whom they do know. It is rarely advantageous to deal with travel- ling strangers unless it be with ready money and for articles the value of which has been fully proved.

—Attention is directed to the adver- tisement in another column of the “Great Political Demonstration, Ex- cursion and Picnic,” under the auspices of “the Mount Stewart Liberal Associ- ation.” Our friends, the enemy, stand greatly in need of some diversion to raise their desponding spirits ; and no one will grudge them a little innocent gamboling on the green of Mount Stewart. If the weather be fine and the hay be housed, quite a number of farmers and others will, no doubt, be present to enjoy themselves, and hear the addresess of the “ Liberal Speakers.’’ Mr. Laurier was expected but cannot come; and Mr. Gillmore will, we hear, take his part in the comedy. Spectators are expected to take all that may be said or sung with a large grain of salt.

As Others See Us.
‘‘Rambler,” a correspondent of the St. John Globe, writes from Charlotte- town as follows :
‘*A few tasty citizens commeneed a year ago to plant trees on the streets. May their zeal not grow cold. An energetic official took hold of that desert waste known as Queen Square, and under his superintend- ence this rquare has been converted into a thing of beauty—a veritable oasis. With dirty streets on one sidg and a etriking fish market on the other, the official, Mr. A. Newbery, and the ladies who have assisted him in collecting funds, deserve the thanks of every lover of the beautiful. Suecess to the ladies; ‘‘inay their shadows never grow less.’’ There is a number of fairly comfortable hotels, the Rankin, kept by our portly genial friend, Davis, the Revere, by a Jady, Mrs. Mc- Neill, the Rocklin, the headquarters of the | temperance folks, and the Osborne, kept by ©. V. McGregor, The master of the latter house seems to have got the Yankee idea of a hotel, where the boss meets you at the station, bundles you into a "bus, and rushes you off to the house. There the porter picks up your traps, and the waiter pilots you off to supper. As far as the experience of the writer goes, for a good square meal and a comfortable bed the Osborne takes thecake. Besides these there are a number of boarding houses, most of which are fairly comfortable. The summer resorts are the Seaside at Rustico and the Lorne at Tracadie, both on the north side of the Island. The large hotel craze struck the Island last winter. Residents say they had it bad for atime, but it seems to be over now. A cheap structure or two on the seashore near Charlottetown might pay a few months of summer, but Chorlottetown has no more use for a $40,000 hotel than a monkey has fora mirror. If I come this way again I may drop you another note, in the meantime au revoir.”
Military.
Tho militia general orders on the Ist of August contain the following regulations for the annual drill of 1885-6 :—Among other things it is provided that in order that the expenditure for drill and training of the active militia of Canada for the fiscal years 1885-6, may be kept within the appropri- atien made by Parliament, the strength of corps to be drilled and paid for that year has been limited as under, viz :—Ccrps of Infantry and Garrison Artillery are not to exceed 42 non-commisrioad officers and men per company and battery, in- cluding regimental staff sergeants and bandsmen; Field Batteries, 1 major, 1 captain, 1 lieutenant, 1 second lientenant, 1 surgeon, 1 veterinary surgeon, L sergeant-major, 1 quarter- master-sergeant, 4 sergeants, 4 corporals, 4 bombardiers, 1 trumpeter, 1 farrier, 58 gunners and drivers, and 29 horses, includ- ing the officers and non-commissioned offi- cers’ horses. The following are not to be included in any list for drill ; (A) Corps which were sent to the Northwest for duty, also those raised in the Northwest during the troubles there. (B) Corps ordered for active service and held under canvas in Prince Edward Island, N. B., Quebec, and Ontario, but not being required for duty in the Northwest, were released froma service. (C) Corps ordered for service and held in barracks in Ontario and Q 1ebec for duty. (D) Corps authorized as a pre- cautionary measure to perform drill for 1885 86, end were paid for the same prior to the Ist of Jnly, 1885. In cases where parts of a corps has been out on service, ‘the remaining portion of that corps, if | drawn for drill, will only be allowed to earn |drill pay to the extent of the difference | between the number which has been out on i service and the establishment on the basis provided for in this paragraph. Men who | have been out on service are not to be in-
is | cluded for drill pay.

Water Twist Yarn.
ITS SUPERIORITY OVER ANY OTHER, Tur question is constantly asked lately ‘* What is water twist yarn.” The answer is given below in an extract from a recent lecture delivered by William Taylor before
the Oldham Cotton Class :—
‘“From 1796 up to about forty years ago, cotton twist or warps were made from throstles and twiners, and then came the principle of making it from single roving, which brought Oldham to the fore. In the future, he said, they might have to give way in the very counts which had hit: herto made Oldham famous and Wealthy, and they would have no other chance than to try and beat other towns with their own weapons.
‘* But they came to the ring frame versus the throstle and the mule. On the ring, by way of experiment, he remembered 120's being spun, but this was done by a patent traveller. The counts spun on the ring frame were from 4’s to 5's. The mule produced from three to four hundred and eighty-five hanks to the pound, or one hundred and eighty-three miles from one pound of cotton. The ring frame was far from being as perfect as either the mule or the throstle. Throstle twist made better weft than the ring, end for very fine numbers it had no rival.
‘* But they naturally asked where the ring fame came in. He answered, that it professed to give a greater quantity of yarn than either the mule or the throstle, and consequently, was cheaper. The following were some of its defects :—
‘Irregular twist; the bobbins when far worn worked loose ou the spindles, conse- quently the yarn was speilt; the travellers reqnired to be changed about every five numbers, and only lasted in some cases from seven to fourteen days. How incon- venient this must be? He was informed by the manager of one of the largest manu- facturing concerns in Oldham, that the ring yarn was a source Of great trouble, owing to one string or end throwing loose fibre on the other.
‘* As the twist of ring spinning had been under discussion for some length of time 'n the newspapers, he thought it would be well to state his opinion upon the mattcr. His opinion on the variation of twist in the ring frame was as follows :
“The reason why more twist is put in the yarn on the outer coils, or at the full thickness of the full bobbin, is because the yarn at the outer diameter of the bobbin has greater control over the traveler, con- sequently, the spindle and bobbin turn the traveler nearer the speed of spindle, or more twist. Again, the loss and gain of power or control of the yarn over the trav- eler during its differential motion, is the cause of the variable twist. He might say there was a difference between the twist being drawn from the end of a ring bobbin, and what they called the ‘straight lift’ that came off the side. The latter had less twist than the one which coiled off the end.
‘‘Mr. Taylor then proceeded to dewen- strate the difference between the double press fly and the single press fly. This was a subject that had been discussed, and about which there had been a contention for thirty years, and perhaps more than that. The double press fly was on a more lasting priueiple than the single press, but the reason some people wanted to work the single fly was because they thought the other was more costly. Speaking of the rollers, he pointed out that loose, boss top rollers, were worked on flute rollers, and had to be set from centres, according to length of fibres they were working. If they were set too far off, they made an uneven yarn, and if it set too near they produced what were called ‘crackers,’ which, of course, deterio- lated the yarn very much, and, in fact, it had in many cases to be returned. What they had to do in setting the rollers, was to be sure the bottom and top of the first and second line had not hold of both ends of the fibres at once. If they had broke the fibre, weak yarn was the result. He had experimented upon this question for five years, with different sorts and qualities of of cotton, during which time he had gained a great deal of information, and could as- sure them that a great deal depended upon the setting of the machinery, whether or not they produced an even and strong yarn.”
This yarn is manufactured only by Wm. Parks & Son, St. John, N. B.
The Hay-Fork Swindle.
eee
(From the St. John Telegraph.)
* Our attention was again called the other day by an up-river farmer to the hay-fork swindle, which has had so many victims this year in our province. He had been waited upon by the advance agent of the concern, and requested to allow a hay-fork and appliances to be set up in his barn. The fork was to be given him in considera- tion of bis showing its working to his neigh- bors, and distributing some circulars. The farmer alleges that he told the agent that nearly all the farmers there were supplied with another fork and sales could not be effected, but this fork, the*®agent said, had superior merits. Before the agent left, the farmer was asked to sign a formal document which he understood to be an order for one fork on the conditions named. After some time another agent of the same concern arrived on the scene, and with this order
‘and a consignoment of over $300 worth of
the works! The farmer then found that he had signed an order for all these forks, payable on delivery. He was of course indignant, but could not deny his own signature. He was then induced, under threat of legal proceedings, to sign notes for the lot of forks, thought at a some- what reduced rate.
It is doubtful whether these notes so obtained oan be collected, especially as a jury would have to decide upon the matter. But these repeated transactions should be a loud warning to farmers and others to sign no paper without being fully aware of its con- tents. One would naturally suppose that no such warning would be needed, but the success of repeated swindling operations of a similar character goes to show that honest country people are prone to think others quite as honest as themselves. The dis- position to trust in the story of any plausible
' stranger with a patent implement o: machine
to sell has cost many a farmer dearly. And all the while there are well known and reliable dealers of established reputation in the city, and in various parts of the pro- vince, of whom the best class of every
needed machine and implement can be obtained at reasonable rates.
