MR. MARTIN AND THE MAI

LS. ait

THovem some of onr contemporaries | seem disposed to avoid the fact, the peo. | ple cannot fail to note that but for the | initiative of Mr. Alexander Martin—the hard-working representative whom Sir | Lovis Davies wants to gerrymander out | of the House of Commens—the question of | our Oae-horse mail service would not have | been ventilated in the popular branch of Parliament, aad we should have bsd no assurance Of even au attempt at improve- The Postmaster-General, Mr. Mulock, had announced that the team ser- | vice between Cape Tormentine and Aulac | had proved 80 satisfactory that it would be made “permanent.” That ie to say our mails in winter wevld, under contract, be drawa bv horses and sleighs for a term of

years, Mr. Martin shamed the Liberal

ment,

| . . . . . . | members, including Sir Louis Davies, into

an admission that this would not de; anda hope may now be entertained that a spe-~ cial train will in juture years be supplied between Sackville and Cape Tormentine as between Cape Traverse and Charlotte- town.

CANADA AND THE STATES.

Tue bungle aad failure of our Liberal Statesmen (eave the mark) will probably lead to complicatiens, out of which it will bedifficult to extricate Canada without loss of prestige. A correspondent at St. Joho’s says that the announcement of the failure of the Joint High Conmission’s negotiations gives general sati«faction there because it will enable the coleny to re- sume independent negotiations with the Untted States for reciprocity in fiehery products, which the Avaericans are desirs dus to Goacede, in return for unham admission to the bait supply ip Newfoundland waters. The favor- able position of Canada ‘in the ne. gotiations, obtained by the strenuovs

pe red

' efforts of Sir John Thompson, is thus lik «

ly to be lost, and it is imposible to eay what sacrifices Canada will have to m:ke No doubt, the United Statics will make goed terms for Ne wfoundiand ; —while the Mother Country will not lon- ger continue to thwart the wishes of New

foundland for the sake of a conniry whose flatesiaen are so manifestly incapable as those now in power in Canada.

THE DRUMMOND DEAL.

Ir is announced that the House ot Coms mons has ratified the latest deal in respect ¢ the Drummond Connty Railway. The latest deal is ybetter than the first dea! (defeated to by theSerate) by a half million ofdollare, But it will,in the opinion of the best judges, involve heavy loss.

the couniry in Evidence and experience go te show that the deal meansa heavy per~ manent charge upon the public treasary, for which there was no pecessity—other than the political necessity of the Liberals to ‘*fix” a few counties in Quebec.

e+e+e

—Mr. Donald MclIsaac, the notice of whose death appears in our obituary column of to-day, was at ove time a prominent resident and merchant of this city, and filled fora term underthe old

High Sheriff of Queen’s County,

—The Farquharson Licensing law will go into operation tomorrow. Al] liquor dealers, except those who will pay the fee or the tax, or whatever they like to call it, will according to the law,have to go out of the business,
