lt is, however, @ very serious blow to our prosperity. In hundreds of homes pinch- ing poverty will be felt next winter. Fish- inz gear is lost, and will have to be re- placed. The Labrador fishery will not for some time recover from the blow. Nearly all our mercantile houses are heavy suffer- ers. Eighteen years ago, in 1867, a similar disaster happened on L sbrador, but the loss of life and property was not more than half as great as by the recent storm.

made by the other Provinces of the Dominion in this direction, we will have to make av effort, in order to have a fair show to stand beside our sister Provinces. Our School system is second to none ia any Province of Canada, and all that is required to demons‘rate the fact is to have it fairly represented. Provincial pamphlets and m*ps should be feeely distributed at the London Ex-

hibition to draw the attention of the best

‘classes of farmers and capitalists to the

joes not require much shrewdness to! make them see that they cannot stand on | the side of the Liberal Party.

What the effect of this new ery will! be at the polls remains to be seen. The Liberals are perhaps doing the best they can with respect to it. They are doing nothiug. They neither deny nor aflirm ; and so, while they do not,themseives, by word or act, excite the antagonism of those in favor of a State-supported Church, they will be ready to take advantage of the occasion slould it appear that the supporters of the Church as an institution of the State are in the minority.

The Situation in Europe.

Wuire Great Britain is absorbed in her elections, and the prospects are that the Liberals will return to power, pre- parations for war are constantly going on. Work in the Russian navy yards, | we are told, has never been relaxed for a moment since early in the spring, and in the meantime elaborate works have been perfected to bring coal from the Caucasus, thus reudering Russia largely independent of the English supply. The levies summoned into the field last spring have never been released, but instead have been concentrated in the south. But the complications caused by the un- expected action of Reumelia, have chang- ed somewhat the immediate object of Russia’s preparations ; and the develop- ments of the past week have, it is reported, had @ magical effect in dis- sipating the doubts as to the attitude of Austria and Germany. The chief difficulty of the latter countries has been the puzzle how to uphold Prince Alex- auder of Battenburg, and at the same time to satisfy Servia aud Greece without giving the latter a slice from the Turkish territory —which would throw the Sultan into thearms of Russia. This problem still remains unsolved, but once a great war began it would cease to occupy a place of the first importance.

The Czar is evidently making war inevitable. His decree that Prince Alexander, of Battenburg, be dismissed with dishonor from the Russian army, is regarded as very significant. It recalls| the famous action of Czar Nicholas, who, | disdaining counsel and sternly impatient of delays, rang the bell with his own band which set all the vast legions marching in an hour. His grandson has the same fierce and reckless temper, and Europe believes that he will repeat the history of the Crimean beginning. Everywhere this action is discussed as the gravest kind of an occurrence, and it | is believed to be the prelude to an inde-| pendent, imperious and immediate move- ment on the part of Russia. Txe Colonial and India Exhibition,

1886.

|

In the Maritime Provinces increased attention has been drawn to this Exhi- bition by a visit from Mr. Ira Cornwall, Jr.. of Liverpool, England, who, although not officially identified with if, is an enthusiastic worker in its behalf. Mr. Cornwall left this city by this morning’s train, on his return to St. John, N. B.,

| back into power.

where he purposes remaining a few weeks. He spent some time with the| Dominion Agent here, Mr. Archibald | MeNeill, and also saw members of our} Local Government and others interested, | and gave such important suggestions as, bis experience in England enabled him to do to advantage.

There cannot be any question as to the | fact that this great Exhibition of Colo- | nial products aud industries is going to’ be of far greater advantage to the Pro-|

vince than we at present think; and}

every effort should be made to make the exhibit one worthy of it. One of the most important exhibits will be from our Educational Department, aud judging from the preparations that ate being

interesting unless means are provided

for social enjoyment and intellectual

improvement. And there is no much better way in which ovr young people, as well as those more advanced in years, can spend their winter evenings than in listening to lectures and essays on popu- lar and scientific subjects. In this con- nection the old-fashioned Debating Club should not be overlooked. It is a well known fact that many of the ablest men of the present day, in Church and State, received their first lessons in the art of public speaking in the club room of seme unpretentious country debating society. ‘Temperance organiza-

‘tions have also proved of immense ad-

vantage in the past, not only in uphold- ing temperance principles and in keeping men sober, but also in teaching our young men how to conduct meetings, as well as express themselves intelligently in public on the questions‘of the day. All such associations, therefore, deserve to be encouraged. Literature, Temper- aace and Debate might be all combined in the one society.

We would like to see a good live Debating Club or Literary Society in full blast duriog the coming winter, in every School District on the Island. There are lots of subjects demanding considera- tion. There are none, however, of greater importance to our Province thav the subject of Scientific and Practical Farming—a subject in which all pro- gressive farmers, young aud old, take the deepest interest, and one which should be frequently discussed by our clubs and associations.

Hopelessness of the Grits.

Ar Grit meetings and picnics last summer, we were told by gushing orators that the Grit millenium was nigh at hand, and that all we had to do was to wait a little longer. We have waited and what has been the result? Simply, that the good time promised seems now to be further away than ever.

Let us see what the record says. Since the last general election for the Hiouse of Commons there have been thirty-three bye-elections. In _ there elections the Governmext gains were: Lunenburg, York, N. B. ; Lennox (2nd), Antigonish and St.John City and County. The Opposition gaised Lovnox (1st,) Megantic, Levis (2nd,) or a net gain for the Government of two seats. ‘This, to- gether with the fact that in many of the constitutercies opened, the Conservative was allowed to walk the course without opposition looks very much as if Grit reaction was nowhere. No wonder Mr. Blake wishes to resign, if he has not al- ready done so, the leadership of his for- lorn party. Atthe present rate of Grit reaction, it would puzzle the wisest to tell when that party may expect to get The fact is, the re- action points all the other way.

The Legislative Council Election.

We are pleased to learn that Mr. Bovyer is meeting with great success in his candidature for the Legislative Covn- cil. He is a general favorite wherever he is known, and his loyal support to economical admisistration will insure for him the strong support of thoughtful electors all over the District. Mr. John Leitch, the Opposition candidate, is, we hear, adopting a mode of operation which plainly indicates the hopelessness of his case. After seeking the nomina- tion, and formally accepting it, he bas agents travelling with requisitions en- deavoring to obtain thereto the signatures of the electors. If he be a popular man, representing a good caue, why is it necessary to solicit signatures to a requi- sition alter he has accepted the nomina- tion? It is a particularly bad (or good !) sign that these requisitions seem to be required in Mr. Leitch’s own immediate neighborhood.

Husbandry.

Pictou County has an association, the members of which call themselves Patrons ot Husbandry. A committee of this Association have lately issued a report io which they advise farmers to

(1) Cultivate less land and work that thoroughly. (2) Improve their stock and consume their raw produce on the farm, (3) First, give their sons. who have a taste for farming an agricultural education. The follow-

VLhis is excellent advice! ing rematks about cattle raising ere also good:

“Last year over four millions of dollars came in- to the hands of the Ontario farmers as one result of their cattle trade with Britain. If the Ontario men are then growing rich by a trade which is un- limited, why cannot we, who are located one thousand miles nearer the English market, have a share of the spoils ? Undoubtedly, we can ! All we require is a little more energy and enter- prise, anda knowledge of the business equal to our facilities. First, you want to get the proper animal, the animal that will yield the greatest weight on a given amount of food, that will mature earliest, fatten quickest, and shrink least in the voyage across the Atlantic. By enquiring into the past history of the various breeds in Can- ada, we find that the Shorthorn Durham stands alone and pre-eminent for our pu . Nine- tenths of the cattle shipped from Canada during 1884 were grades of this breed. The model Short. horn has great thickness of carcass, is of compact build, grows er matures early, and has a ripeness at two and a half years of age that is attained by no other breed. They are noted for their great weight, substance and style. The choice flesh is heavily laid on in parts where it is the most valuable, and where ordinary cattle fail. Asthere are to be found inferior animals among all breeds, they are found here. So before purchasing you should acquaint yourselves with the points of the model Shorthorn, and select none but the best for crossing with your cows, On this at least one-half of your success depends, for the male is half your herd. This work of starting trade between us and Britain, merits the consideration of all our active farmers, We hope you will take it up and discuss it thoroughly, and try and decide on an immediate start, The be- ginning will first be small, and will require some encouragement, but once well started, it will re- quire no fostering. And for a moment let us notice some of the results of such a trade, It would annually bring thousands of dollars into our country. It wom enable vs to follow a bet- ter system of farming. It would diversify and lighten our work, giving us more leisure during suminer, and affording pleasant and profitable winter employment. in the care of our stock : and other management being good, we would soon be rejoiced to tind our farms increasing in fertility and our income in size.”
