where the struggle for existence goes on unimpeded, and the most vigorous wins every day, we see the northern introduc- tions constantly asserting their superiority. Uur fisids are flooded with myriads of hardy, useless plants, which have come from the most northern countries of Kurope,the invincible vigor of which has ensbled them to over-

come all opposition and establish them- selves in every corner of our possessions as pestilent weeds. We have no common southern plants establishing themselves in our soil, but abundance of northern ones whose very vigor makes them a nuisance. Indeed, we have instances of plants from the cold south t nperate regions of the globe crossing the troy i blishing themselves as common weeds in our nor-

thera moors.

Chis North- west wheat is not only of the best estab- lished variety, having been grown in Can- ada for fifty years, but it bears with it the

vigor, hardihood and aggressive power of a pl mnt coming from amore northern local ity, which the experience all ages has proved to be an important factor in the

problem of life.

Sir Oliver on Prohibition.

Rertytxe to 4 Prohibition deputation, a few days, Sir Oliver Mowat said,

** He had no doubt thet when they got a prohibition law in Ontario they would want one that was enforced. There was not use in

a nominal prohibition—no use in putting a prohibition law book unless they could and did en Phey all knew that a prohibition law was difficult of enforce- ment, that there were too many interested in its not being enforced

on the statute force it

“When they got ;

a pr yhibition law he want" ed it to be alaw that they knew was legal and constitutional, aad that they could go forward

with the str ngest that it was p yssible to have to enforce

it

** He did not say that a law was of no use when it could be slightly enforced, but to a considerable degree it use, and if it was not enforced to any extent it was a thous- and times worse than if there were no such law on the books. Any prohibition law under the present condition of public sentiment was difficult of enforcement, but if there was avy reasonable doubt as to whethe: that law was valid or not it was hopeless to attempt to enforce it. They might be sorry for that and unwilling to believe it, but if they endeavored to enforce in this country a pro

hibition law, when there was not a reasonable certaiuty of its being a legal law, it would be a hopeless task,”

rhe market was not large to-day. Owing to the fact that the ice is all leared out, and the roads almost impass-

sbie, and the steamer mut yet running, the large and important district of Belfast ws not represented to any extent. Those who are interested in Belfast district, inform us that the people there are greatly displeased on account ot the remissness of their junior representative in this regard. It is re- marked that Mr. McDonald is ready enough to ask biufting questions in the House, but that he is mexcusably slack in respect to the practical service which he owes to the district. Navigation has been open for weeks. Yet there is not any means provided for communication betweep Orwe'l and Brush wharf or China Point snd Charlottetown. This 1s too bad. —The latest advices from Washington indicate that Secretary Carlisle is disposed to shape his financial course upon principles 80 as to afford po special consideration for the immediate interests represented on the New York Stock Exchange. From such semi-official intimations as are forthcoming the Secretary appears to be disposed to suffer some considerable impairment of the $100,000,000 reserve rather than issue bonds. Henry Clews remarks: ‘* It is not to be gainsaid that a reserve is intended to be made available aud not to be a mere warning dead line; and that one of its uses is to provide for a temporary abnormal emergency, when there 1s reason to expect that, upon the adjustment of the transient irregularities, the funds will flow back to the Treasury which have been recently forced out. The verdict of public opinion would be that of applause in the event of the ‘free gold’ fund recovering its normal dimens ons,even though it be by adding 25 to 50 millions to the public debt by a bond issue.’ ———__—_—_ e+ ere

Provincial Rifle Asseciation.

THe adjourned annual meeting of the

Provincial Rifle Association was held in the City Court Room last evening. There

was a good attendance of members, Lieut. Col. Irving, President of the Aesociation, read an excellent paper on ‘* Fire Tactics,” for which he was tendered a hearty vote of thanks. Lieut. Col. Moore submitted the following resolution ;:—

The Provincial Rifle Association of Prince Edward Island conveys to Lieutenant Colonel James Douglas Irving, President of this Asso- ciation and late Brigade Major of this district, its hearty congratulation on his promotion to the responsible position of Deputy Adjutant General of Militia District No. 8. it desires to place on record its high appre- ciation of the valuable services rendered to this Associatian and to the militia of this Province in the various positions held by him; of his indefatigable zeal and untiring energy

in promoting the best interests of the force.

the Association also desires to convey to Colonel Irviing its best wishes for his future success in the profession which he hag so adorned ia the pst.

lt would also express the sense of loss which this district suffers in the removal of Colonel I:rviag—intensilied by that the fact

that for the present at least, no successor is likely to be appointed. The resolution was seconded by Capt. Weeks, supported by Capt. Stewart, and unanimously adopted. Lieut. Col. Irving made a very feeling reply. Phe cflicers of the Association for 1893 are as follows : Lieut. Col. Irving, President; Lieut, Col. Dogherty, Vice-President for (Jueen’s County; Lieut. Cel Moore, Vice-Presi- dent for King’s; Major McLeod, Vice- President for Prince, Council for Queen’s—Capts. Stewart, Weeks, H. M. Davison, Crockett, Lieut. Dove r.

Council for King’s—Asst. Surgeon Gillis, Lieu:. Ewen Stewart.

Council for Prince — Lieut. B. C, Prowse, Staff Sergt. Allan, Council appropriated $25 towards defraytng expenses in connection with the Inter Maritime team. Ool. Dogherty, Col. Moore and the Secretary were appointed a committee to select such tearn. The match wilt be fired on Kensington Range in June next. The thanks of the Association were ten- dered to Messrs. Prowse Bros. for their handsome contribution, to the firm of Hickey & Nicholson and to all contri- butors to the Association.

siderably lower than last year.

The British Budget.

A Deficit to be Met by Addi- tional Taxation

Lonxpon, April 25.

The Budget was introduced in the House of Commons yesterday. The Chancellor of the Exchequer estimated the expenditure for the current financial year at £91,464,000, and the revenue at £89,890,000, a deficit of £1, - 574,000—due in part to a slight expected decrease in revenue, but chiefly to the vast growth of expenditures not created by the Government, but through the demands of the country upon Parliament. The Chancellor said that the Government did not propose to cover the deficit by encroaching upon the sinking fund devoted to the reduction of the national debt. He preferred to meet the de- ficit by an increase of taxation. The Govern- ment resorted to the income tax which it was proposed to increase by a penny in a pound, which ought to add £1,750,000 to the rev- enue. The only other chasges proposed was to remove the stamp duty on the transfer of foreign and colonial securities and increase the stamp duties on contract notes to one shilling.

MontreaL, April 23.—The banquet of the Sir John Macdonald club last evening was a most pronounced success, some 300 guests being present. Great things were expected ot the Finance Minister,, and it is not going too far to say that Hon. Mr. Foster created a splendid impression amongst those of his own party who are asking for tariff reform. Will the old policy of protection go on forever ? he asked, and replied, partly yes, partly no; The principle of protection will be maintained at all haszards, but irregu- larities will be made to disappear, Sir John Thompson’s name was received with tremendous cheering, and Dr, Montague, the eloquent member for Haldimand, carried the audience by stormas ke told how proud Canada was of her Maritime Provinces, which bad given sueh names as Tupper, Howe, Tilley, Thompsen and the present Finance Minister to our public life,

Wellington Notes.

Dr. Gallant, of Egmont Bay, will prac- tice in this locality, having his headquar- ters at Weilington.

Barlow's Mills are kept moving. The demand for lumber created by the constant improvements of farmsteads throughout the country gives employment to the saw-mills, while the grist mills and fulling mills have as much as they can do. The carding mill erected inthe place of that which was burned down last summer is, perhaps, the best in the Province, and is all ready for the rush that will take place as soon as the sheep are shorn. Altogether, Mr. Barlow has here one of the best mill properties on Prince Edward Island.

The ring of another anvil is soon to be heard here, Mr. Day being about to move into the town.

A few persons are short of fodder, but generally there is enough hay in the neigh- borhood to carry the farmers through, though almost all have too many horses. Taking away the franchise of the Domin- ion officials and reducing them to a political level—so far as this Province is concerned —lower than that occupied by our negroes, is strongly condemned here,

Hon. Joseph O. Arsenault seems to be doing a thriving business and is more popu- lar than ever.

It is pleasing to learn than Mr. Joseph Arsenault’s yearling Hernando colt, dam, Wellington Belle, is developing great speed and bids fair to give the best of the Sum- merside and Charlottetown favorites a hot time in the futurity race, for which he is entered.

We hear with pleasure that the scheme by which it was proposed to put several of the householders of the Wellington School District into one of the districts of Lot 16, hes fallen through, That little game would have been bad ‘‘for the party.”
