DECEMBER 31, 1892 1892.

LOOKING Back upon the year which

closes at midnight, one cannot say that it has witnessed any remarkable changes. Ni wars of note have occurred, the nations of Eur ype having succeeded, contrary to ex pectation, in preserving their armed neutrality fur another year. Trade, though somewhat more heslthy in its tone, hae hardly risen abeve a depressed condition Crops, on the whole, were good, but prices ruled low, and there was a good deal of grumbling among the agricultural classes, especially ia Great Britain, where the farm ers were borne down by scanty crops and unres'ricted competition from abroad.

In the D minion, especial y in the Mari time Provinces, the early part of the year brought unusually mild weather, and a good deal of sickness prevailed. La grippe visited miny sections and carried off a num- ber of victims. Nor was the political

atmosphere less deadly than the physical. As a result of their own tactics in protest- ing returns, a large number of the grit party had to s‘and the test of bye elections. It the grit’ they were supposed to possess, the

During the session of Parliament at Ottawa, fierce attacks were made upon the Government by the Opposition for ex travagance in railway management and for keeping in their pay an unnecessarily large number of employees whose main value was their vote at elections. Though these | attacks failed to embarrass the Government at the time, they produced serious results in the leng run. Retrenchment was

The session at Ottawa was marked by

ing attitude against the semewhat bluster- | credit of the city fathers, as well as a pro-

ing and coercive measures of President Harrison and the Republican administra- tion of the United States. Deep regret was felt that the Premier, through ill health, was obliged to resign his position. But the reins of government have fallen into the hands of Sir John Thompson, who, having been ali along the guiding spirit of the administration, is peculiarly fitted for this responsible position, and there is no reason to fear any departure from the ateady policy of progress and development which has marked the Conservative admin- istration of the Government.

In Ontario, Premier (now Sir Oliver) Mowat has held on the even tenor of his way, apparently as firmly entrenched there as are the Conservatives at Ottawa. In Quebec, Premier Mercier and his party met with a veritable slaughter at the genera election, and the Conservatives, under DeBoucherville, assumed control of an almost bankrupt previnece. It is pleasing to know that their drastic measures are gradually restoring public confidence. Late in the year Premier DeBouacherville re- signed, and was succeeded by Mr. Taillon. In New Beuuswick, Premier Blair appealed to the people and was again returned to power, though with his wings somewhat clipped and his own persons! prestige shattered by a severe defeat. In Nova Scotia no changes have taken place, and the same may be said of British Columbia, with the exception of the death of her premier, Mr. Kobson, from the effects of axaccident in London, Mr. Robson wa, succeeded by Mr. Theodore Davis. In Manitoba a large majority of the people

The slaughter sales in the city destroyed, to a large ex- tent, the prospect of a fair fall trade, and their result must be depressing for some time to come.

Passing into the wider area of the world’s affsirs,—-in the Motherland the feature of the year was the general election, resulting in the overthrow of the coalition govern- ment led by the Marquis of Salisbury, Lord Hartington (now Duke of Devonshire) and Mr. Joseph Chamberlain, The bye e’ec- tions for some time previous had been un- favorable to the Government, and it was that at the Liberals, with

Contrary to general expectation, after a tierce contest, Mr. Gladstone found himself with a composite and somewhat unreliable majority of forty. I+ is t-o soon to predict results, but all probabilities point to the alministration beirg ineffective from the very composition of its supporters, and as likely to be short-lived. One of the teat- ures of the contest was the invitation to Hon. E. Blake, of Canada, to become s champion of Home Rule.

minster.

Almost simultaneously with the accession of the Liberal Party to power, Russia made an aggressive movement in Central Asia, endeavoring to seize points of strategic im- portance in the Pamirs. Pressure was also attempted by France and other Powers in the direction of hastening British evacu- ation of Ezyp*. The presence of Lord

tosebery in the Foreign Office ensured a sufficiently firm attitude on the part cf the Government to defeat these designs. Ne- gotiations with the Government of the United States, having reference to arbitra- tioa in the Behring Sea dispute, were carried on throughout the year, and it is hoped that a satisfactory solution of thi difficulty will be reached in 1893. The emtinuance of distress among the agricul- turists of Great Britaio, and the depression in the manufacturing districts—largely due to the;closing of foreign countries against B-itish manufactures by means of protec- tive tariffs, and the unrestricted competi” tion of foreiga manufac'ures in the home market—are gradually rousing the British public to the necessity for a change of policy. Many thoughtful and farsighted men look to a zoliverein of the British Em pire with a protective tariff against the rest of the world as the true solution of the dif. ficulty, and Imperi«] Federation has re- ceived a strong impetus from this feeling. Though England is not yet prepared to accept a protective system in any shape, yet the enlightenment, as the late Sir John A. Macdonald predicted, is coming, if not from above through their brains, at least from beneath through their pockets.

Oa the continent, Russia suff-red from the ravages «f terrible famine, fcl'owed, as it almost invariably is, by the outbreak of disease. Asiatic cholera attacking the famine-stri.ken districts, swept awry th half-starved pcpulation by the thousand. In addition to thase distresses, the Russian Jews have been the objects of religious persecution on the part of the Government The sufferings of the lower classes in Russia show no sigus of abatement, as the pressure of famine still prevails.

Germany was also attacked by the chclcra which ravaged the city of Hamburg. The disease spread to Austria and France, and some cases occurred in Great Britain end the United States. Owirg te rigorous sanitary precautions, it was epeedily stamped cu in the two latter countries» and on the approach of winter it almost dissppeared. The new German army bill met with vigorous opposiion, which called forth some significint utterances from the Emperor and his Chancellor, which have seriously disquieted European diplomatists

France is pxssing through a cloud, owing to the revelations of extensive fraud and corruption in connection with the Panama Canal scheme. A number of the leaders of the enterprise have been arrested but so great is the indignation of the unfortunste victims of the scheme that the Republic is serious!y menaced. Should a leader arise, we may at any mement, hear of a revolution in favor of the monarchy or even of a Bonapartist regime. The army seem ‘o be masters of the situation.

Nothing of special note transpired in other European countries, except, perhaps, the continual plots aad counterplots in the Danubian principalities. These have, how ever, become monotunous.

In the United States, the great event of the year was the Presidential election, in which, to the surprise of both parities, the Democrats gained a sweeping victory. The main cause of the Republican defeat, seems to have been the needlessly oppressive character of their tariff legislation, notably the now celebrated McKinley Bill. Some arceat free traders tried to extort comfort from the result «f the election. But the fact that both parties were pledged toa protective tariff is a suflisient reply to these. The real difference seemed to be that the Democrats regarded protect on +s a means to an end, while the R publicans looked upon that policy as the end in itself, and therefore act.d as if they could not have too much of the good thing,

No better proof of the gr wing power and influence «f our own Dominion can be given than the persistent attempts of the Republican admigistration to cripple our trade in every possible way, throughout the year ; nor could anything be more suggest- ive of the future of our country than the calm determination with which Canadians, for the most part, met these attempts, and the energy with which they opened up new channels for their rapidly-increasing trade.

Extensive preparations for the World’s Fair at Chicago went on steedily through- out the year, and there is every reason to expect that this exhibition will greatly sur” pass all previous enterprises of the kind.

The four hundredth anniversary of the discovery of America by Columbus was celebrated in the United States and the Dominion with a good deal of spirit and with lavish expense. Even Charlottetown participsted to some small exteat in the ovation.

There was nothing special to note with reference te the other countries of North or fouth America. Brazil showed signs of dis- turbance, but up to the close of the year the Republic held its own. Mexico, during the present month, has been somewhat ua- settled, and in the absence of d: finite in- formation it is impossible to ascertain the

extent of the revolt in that country or to forecast the issue, A strong «effort is being

made by the United States to boom the Nicaragua Canal, and it is not uglike’y that the project will take definite shape in the near future.

The year had its usual record: »f accidents, disasters and strikes, Railways and steam- ships furnished their quota cof casualties, and the Homestead strike will long be re- membered. There were at least two ser- ious colliery explosions, several heavy storms, attended with loss of life, and some serivus conflagrations. Prominent among the last was the disastrous fire in St John’s, Newfoundland, which destroyed more than one half the city. This calamity called forth prompt and generous assist- ance for the sufferers, throughout the Dominion of Canada and in Britain. The people of Newfoundland warm!y apprec iated the genercsity of thé sister provinces, and, largely as a result of this feeling, popular opinion is turuing iu the direction of a union with the Dominion. A_ confer- ence between prominent statesmen of both countries was held at Halify ~ and future developments are looked 4% to with interest.

Thea successful terminatiun of Lieutenant Peary's attempt to explore Northern Gieer- land, stimulated Arctic research, and one or two expeditions are projected to start during the coming year to sulve the mystery of the North Pole.

The death record of 1892 shows a lorg array of illustrious names. Hardly had we greeted the new year, when the whole empire bent in deepest sympathy with the Royal House over ile bier of the Duke of Clarence’ and Avondale, Heir presumptive to Britain's throne, betrothed toa princess universa!- ly beloved, personally popular with all ciasses, —he passed away in the blocm of youth, deeply mourned by all. Amorg the rulers whe c'osed their career were Tewfik Pasha, Khedive of Egypt, and Fonseca, ‘President of the Brez'lian Re- public. The Roman Catholic Church de- plored the logs «f the able and astute Car- dinal Manning, of Simeoni, long the jre- fect of the I’ opaganda, and of the fiery and enthusiasti- Lavigerie; while the whole Christian world was bereaved by the death of Charies Haddon Spurgeon. In the bril- liant Frenchman, Renan, there patsed away one who at one time was considered one of the most formidable antagonists of Christianity; yet it is more than doubtful if his great wo:k, “‘The Life cf Jesus,” has not rather tended to strengthen that which he sought to destroy. Tennyson, the mas- ter singer among our British poets of to- day, ‘‘ crossed the bar,” following closely the gentle, true-hearted Quaker Whittier, while earlier in the year a bard of another stimp, Walt. Whitman, joined the great m-jority. Sir Morell Mackenzie, by the strange irony of fate, died of throat disease, and Admiral Sir Provo Wallis lowered his fisg when he had well-nigh rounded out his century. Cyrus W. Field, once cf world- wide fame as the hero of the Atlantic cable, and of late years a daring and generally successful speculator, preceded by less than half a year the “great bear” of American finance, Jay Gould, practically the king of Wall Street, from whose hug he extricated himself a couple of years ago with great difficulty and heavy loss. Among names of lesser note are P. 8. Gilmour, the musi- cian; George W. Curtis, one of the purest of American politicians; Lord She: brooke, once well-known to English read: rs as Robert Lowe — the master spirit of the Cave of Adullam; Bishop Words- worth, of St. Andrews, Scotland, and Mrs. Harrison, wife of the President of the United States.

As the year draws to a close, the pulse of the Piumed Knight of Maine—James G. Blaine—is

slowly flickering out. A man of great ability and vigor, his record as a statesman ard _ politician is

singularly unfortunate Across the At- lantic is wafted the news that the Jersey Lily, Mrs. Langtry, is nearing the end.
