Even Mr. Dodd refuses | Government prior to the time he entered the Cabinet. And yet Mr. Davies treats public opinion with contempt, and is de-| termined to brazen it out to the last.

will have come. He went up like a rocket;

he will come down like a stick.

Why He Clings to Office Weak | Reasons.

Hox. Mr. Davres, at the meeting of ‘‘ my friends and supporters,” is reported to have said :—

“He did not want to give up the reins of power at the close of the financial year, to let the Opposition make ducks and drakes of the public accounts. He wanted to hurl back on them the charges of extra- vagance they had made. He was not hold- ing on because he wanted his office, but he warited to be there so that he could leave with his record pure and clean.”

Then, Mr. Davies’ record—it may fairly be inferred—is not pure and clean now ; for he wants.a few months more time to rub out the blots !

And, pray Mr. Davies, how is it pussible that “ducks and drakes” can be made of the public ‘accounts? You have shown us —all to clearly—how ‘‘ ducks and drakes P may be made of the public money. But how “ducks and drakes” can possibly be made of the public accounts—as audited by the Provincial Auditor—is a conundrum not yet explained. We give it up.

Colonel McGill and the Rump.

In his canvass during the Dominion elec- tion campaign, Colonel McGill disclaimed all connection with the Davies-Stewart fac- tion, and refused to be held accountable for their acts. Kuowing that they had for- feited the confidence of the people, and that they were braving the indignation of the outraged electors in order to retain their offices, Mr. McGill knew right well that his only chance of being returned consisted in his repudiating them entirely. Now that the contest is over, and that he has nothing to gain or lose by further dissimulation, Mr. McGill enters the lists as an agtive support- e: of Mr. Didi. He occupied the chair at the meeting of that gentleman’s “‘friends” afew nights ago. Being either above or below public opinion he could afford to oc- cupy a position which no man who expects | to take a prominent part in the politics of this Province would have held for a mo-

ment.

The Men in the Field.

Tun candidates for Legislative honors— their personal fitness and their political qualifications—are now fair subjects for

critical comparison.

IN KEING’s COUNTY, the First District, is being canvassed by) Lawrence Kickham, of Sousa! West, Mr. James A. Beaton and IM. | James Dingwell. The latter gentleman hs already been a member of the Legislative Council. Of late his mame has hardly been mentioned in connection with politics ; and the public at large have supposed that he had retired from the political stage. Mr. Beaton is, it is said, a young man. And, at all events, his card bears abundant evidence that he knows very little about the legislation or Government of this country"

In his card Mr. Beaton says that— ‘¢ Any legislation tending towards im-

The Czar and Hurope.

Tue iliness of the Czar is a cause of much uneasiness to his subjects. What ails the Czar is not stated ; but it seems likely that he will not much longer sit upon the throne of Russia. And should he abdicate or die --what then? His peaceful disposition and his family connection with the Emperor of Germany—who is his uncle—have, no doubt, been a restraint upon the agressive ambition of the Great Bear. The Czaro- witch who will succeed him is under no such restraining influences. It is said that he is a member of the oid Russian Party ; that he is bigoted and intolerant, and that he hates the Germans. The St. John Telegraph says that ‘‘ When it is considered how much the success and even the safety of Germany have depended on the friend- ship of Russia during the past ten years, it will be easily understood how much German prestige might. be lowered and German safety compromised. by Russian hostility. Germany has on her western frontier an i:n- placable enemy, thirsting for an opportunity to avenge her reeent humiliation and de- feat, while on her eastern borders lies the vast Russian Empire which under another Czar could scarcely be counted upon to do more than preserve an unfriendly neutrality and which might quickly grow to be openly hostile. It is said that of late Germany has been striving to cultivate more friendly relations with France, and no doubt this has been done for the purpose of keeping that Power quiet in case of a rupture with Russia until other combinations can be formed. Amicable relations between France and Germany are, however, only capable of being preserved for a time, even the retro_ cession of Alsace and Lorraine would not suffice to make France friendly, should a favorable opportunity occur for striking at her Teutonic foe. It then will become necessary for Germany, in the case of the death of the present Czar, to seek new al liances to strengthen herself against Russia and France. able for such a purpose —Austria, Italy and England—and no doubt Germany would seek to ally herself with all three, the more so as the Communists are troublesome and the Catholics are dissatisfied. “ It has been the fashion of late to regard Austria

Only three Powers are avail-

las a moribund Power, only existing on

sufferance, and liable to be divided be- tween Germany and Russia at any time. Possibly such a fate might have befallen Austria ere this had France been friendly ; but, as matters stand now, the preserva- tion of the integrity of Austria is of the highest importance to Germany. Austria has been weakened by German influence, but it is necessary now that she should be supported, and it will be observed that recently Germany has sustained Austria in several movements very dist.steful to Russia, notably the occupation of Bosnia. Austria, as a military power, if assured of

United States Trade With Canada.

—

The U. S. Consul at St. John, N. B., in his report for the year ending the 30th June, 1878, says the entire imports of New Brunswick from foreign countries amounted to $8,200,000, and the exports to $6,644,- 000. Of the imports $4,152,000 worth came from the United States; but the Con- sul adds despondingly: ‘‘The steady and very satisfactory demand for our products and manufactures-during the last few years will be apt'to receive a serious check at the meeting of the next Parliament of this Do- minion. The Free Trade Treaty, as it is called here, but in reality a revenue tariff party, has been badly defeated by a party pledged to the protection policy. If this new Government, led by Sir John MecDon- ald, inaugurate a policy based upon the principle intimated by him in the campaign, it means the almost entire loss of this mar-

ket for our products and manufactures. At present the United States manufactures have almost exclusive control of this mar- ket, for shelf hardware, hollow ware, (such as block tin, Japanned, enameled and painted), common stationery and fine leather goods, formerly imported from France.”

The Ballot Box.

Judge Ramsay, in his charge to the Jury at Montreal, a few days ago, in the Jacques Cartier ballot box case, vlew a loud blast against the secret voting system. At the outset he declared that it was impossible to believe that the members of Parliament could have thought the ballot box could be| made te serve any good purpose, and added that if the trial coming to a close did noth- ing more than bring boldly mto view the defects of the ballot system, the time spent in it would not be wasted. And in winding up his address he expressed the hope that the trial would serve ‘‘to direct attention to the absurd and ridiculous ballot system,” that the country might be rid of an institu- tion which was ‘‘an absurdity and a dis- grace to the nation.”
