SEPTEMBER 1, 1879.

The opposition press is loud in its de- nunciation of the present Government and its policy. The wickednesss of the Nation" al Policy isa theme on which they love to dwell. *That sensible people should be- lieve in it, is, to them, only an evidence of the great depravity of the human heart. The Pacific Railway is another fruitful source of inspiration to the political purists who run the'Grit machine. Whether the Government wilf build the road out of the revenue or get a company to build it,makes no differenee to to them. It is the Liberal Conservative party that is building it, and if they build it without expending one dollar of the people’s money, the frue Grit would still be disatisfied. Wouldit not be well for them to change theirdoleful refrain and tell te public what they would do, if they had the chance? ‘The public are well aware of theirdoings in the past and} them in| last

their opinion on a very unmistakable manner September. Is it with the magnificent water stretches ; the Georgian Bay Branch ; and MeKenzie’s Sieel Rails Purchase, they intend to conjure? Or is one-sided free trade and the policy of piling up de- ficits calculated to charm? If so, the pub- ic should know it. If itis wrong that the Pacific Railroad should be built with a por- tion of the waste land of the North West, what isthe right way. The land is there in the heart of the continent, of no use to any one until the Pacific Railway is built. If this railway is built by a company, the land will still remain ; but it might be in- ferred from the whinings of the Grit press that some one was going to carry it away.

Another Fishery Trouble.

If our Canadian neighbors were moved just now to confess to us, they would have to admit that they have not only omitted to do these things which they ought to have done, but they are doing those things which they eught not todo. They have failed to keep their treaty obligations in Fortune Bay to the tune of $103,000, and now they are caught catching fish in our waters on the lakes, where the treaty forbids them to, go, and our authorities have seized their seines. It is all very ridiculous, Why should a treaty with a nation across the Atlantic impede the industry of people on this continent? Why should the fisherman on one side of a river or lake, because

he is called Canadian, be de- barred from catching fish on the other sido which is called American? Why should a fishing vessel, manned

for the most part by New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island men, because it car- ried an American flag, excite the hostility of New Lrunewick and Prince Edward island? Common sense would make all the waters of the whole continent free to all the continent. Mr. Evarts talks of a revision of the fishery arrangements. We hope he will try to secure a general and unobstructive liberty to Canadians and

Americans to take fish wherever they can,}

and sell them wherever they find the best market. [t seems to us such an arrange- ment can be better made with the Domin- ion authorities than with the British Gov- ernment, which would doubtless be glad to be rid of further bother in the matter.—N. Y. Herald.

It must be remembered that the New York Heruld is, very often, sensational.

a

THe Moncton Despatch says the road near the Waterworks was this week the scene of a disturbance which in the interest of humanity, it is hoped may never occur azain. An elderly female between 60 and to years of age, whose name werefrain from giving, bad some angry werds with her step-daug ater, who is also her niece, and : ftee scraiching and otherwise maltreating her, got held of her arm with her teeth and heid on as tenaciously as if she had been a bull-dog. This is not the first time those same teeth have brought blood, and it was hoped by this she had outgrown her former proclivitics. The step-daughter has no doubt that could she descen:. so low she could manage to defend herself, while the virago was heard to assert that if she could not wanave her any other way she weuld the next ‘ime get the pitch fork and put it through her.

Our Canadian Indians. ~

The folleWing appears in United States papers :—

Winnipeg, Aug. 23.—Canadian Indians who are deprived of buffalo in the Northwest, are becoming desperate and threaten an out- break. Buffalo are nearly exterminated, and the Canadian Indians dare not enter American territory for fear of collision with hostile In- dians. Lieut. Governor Laird is at Battle Mord. He has sent his family to Winnipeg. His position is criti¢al. A despatch from the police at Fort Walsh reports that serious trouble is anticipated, Col. Smith, in com- mand of a Canadian force, leaves to-morrow for the scene of the troubles. The Dominion Government is hastily organizing six com- panies of mounted infantry.

The St. John Sun remarks :—No doubt the state of affairs is greatly exaggerated. For instance, the return of Mrs. Laird— who is in Charlottetown, and not at Winni- peg—has no such significance as is here at- tached to it, her removal from Battleford being entirely due to domestic causes. There is no reason to believe that Governor Laird’s position is critical, or that serious trouble is anticipated by the Government. The despatch comes under the head of ‘‘sensational, ”

—_—__~ +> ----— Socailists Thraaten to Seizo Wash- ington and Pillage the Treasury.

New Yorx, Aug. 26.—The Post's Wash- ington special says :—‘‘The stormy scenes in San Francisco stirred up the local agitators in Washington to make a demon- stration yesterday. One Lodnett called on the first comptroller of the treasury and on President Hayes, demanding the instant payment of certain unpaid claims of the werkingmen, which, he alleged, were pro- vided for by an Act of Congress more than a year ago. He saic to the President, if the claims were not paid in ten days, ‘‘I can lead a force of determined nen against you that will make your seat not worth the cloth that covers it.” Ata meeting of the labor league last night he repeated these threats, adding that 359,909 men could be raised in 24 hours to march on Washing- ton, that army officers sympathized with them, and that in New York there were six major-gonerals who were ready to lead such an army. He did not give their names. The comptroller has decided that the claims shall be paid September 15th.

The Halifax Sugar Refinery.

At a meeting of the subscribers to the propesed Sugar Refining Company, held in Halifax on Friday last, the gratifying an- nouncement was made that the whole of the requisite stock ($300,000) had been sub- scribed and ten thousand dollars additional This practically makes the Refinery an as- sured fact. The meeting by resolution authorized the Committee to immediately engage a person to act as Manager, and also make a call of 25 per cent of the subscribed stock. By the terms of the subscription nothing car? be done entailing any outlay, until 25 per cent. is paidin. No great de- lay, however, is anticipated on that score, as nearly all the principal subscribers are men in affluent circumstances, and will pay promptly. Assoon as the amount of the first call is received, a general meeting of shareholders will be held, to elect Direc- tors, to whom will be entrusted the duty of deciding on a site, its purchase, anc the construction of the requisite buildings. These matters will be pushed forward, it is believed, with all possible expedition,as the gentlemen principally interested in the en- terprise, feel that much valuable time has already been lost.—Hzx. Herald.

The Crisis in Quebec.

On Thursday evening, in the Quebec Legislative Council, Dr. Ross’ resolutions strongly censuring the Government for their manifold sins,and expressing non-confidence in them, was passed by a vote of 14 to 7 in amendment to the Supply Bill. The reso- lutions were forthwith forwarded to the Lieutenant Governor. Immediately upon the fact becoming known, there was great excitement in Government circles, as the failure of the Government to pass their Supply Bill was felt tc be certain to lead to a dissolution. On Friday, on the assemb] ing of the House, Mr. Joly, who looked troubled and harrassed, stated that no answer had yet been received from the Lieutenant Governor to the resolution of the Council. He immediately moved an adjournment until Saturday. There is much speculation as to what the upshot will be. It is generally believed that Mr. Joly will advise his Honor to reply to Coun- cil, refusing to withdraw confidence in his government, and that another resolution of confidence will be passed in the Lower House. Matters will be allowed to stand‘ this way awaiting further action of the Council in regard to the Supplies. Mr. Murphy, M. P. P-, for Quebec West, re- signed Saturday,thus forfieting hislseat,and reducing the Government majority by one. English Conservatives favor a coalition, but in the present state of party feeling it is looked upon as impossible. The French Conservatives are eager for a dissolution.

Two pictures of the present condition of the Irish agricultural popul tion have been given to the public by the rep*osentatives of Church and State respectively, ‘he Lord Licutenant has assured the Irish farmers that tliey are in a much better position fthan their English neighbors. The Archdeacon (not the Arch- bishop) ef Tuam, in a letter to the London Times, gives a gloomy account of the position aid prospects of ‘the peasantry of the Green isle, Last year’s depression, he says, brought things to a crisis, The holders of small farms are'unable to obtain supplies from steres, as credit is refused ; and unless help is forthcom- mg they will be compelled to consume their whole supplie;of potatoes, without regard t» planting, next year. A potato famine may thus be added to Ireland’s miseries. The

The National Policy.

The Halifax Herald has thé following in its financial and commereial reports :—The National policy has, sv far, given a curious commentary on the statements of the Oppos- ition papers, having increased the revenue over 1,209,000 in seven months, as com- pared with last year, and it is singular that if Protection is to ruin us it has not ruined the United States. Reports from United States Consuls in Europe show that wages in the United States are double those of Belgium, Denmark, Fzance and England, and three times those of Germany, Italy and Spain, and four times those of the Nether-

lands, and that the prices of the necessaries of life are lower in the United States than in Europe. One of the most marvellous features in the

trade of the United States within the last six or seven years is seen in the increase of provision exports. In spite of the war and of the panic of 1873, twenty to thirty per cent. increase in value is recorded every year since 1860. Then the value of the provision exports was $16,611,443; in 187

it was $123,557,323, and nearly eighty- seven millions of which represented hog

price of bacon and hams_ has fallen off nearly one-half since 1870, that of pork about 60 per cent. and that of lard over 50 per cent. The princial reason for the decline in prices was the great extensioa of the corn supply in the cquntry, and the consequent in- crease in the supply of pork. In the first six months of the fiscal year of 1870 (com- mencing July 1, 1878) the exports of bacon and hams, as compared with those of the corresponding time in the fiscal year of 1878, has increased 50 per cent. and that of pork 33 per cent. Against this the Lon- don Times shows that the average cost of a quarter of wheat to the English or Scotch farmer is about twelve dollars. American wheat can be landed in Liverpool for seven dollars and fifty cents per quarter. As to fresh meat the American farmer can supply fresh meat, in Liverpool, without loss, at something less than fourteen and a half cents per pound.

Destructive Fire in Fredericton.

Frepericton, Aug. 20, 2.20 a. m.—A destructive fire broke oug at 1 o’clock this morning in Cork Alley, near the corner of K's and St. John streets. It is supposed +o have originated in a barn belonging to J. R. Hewie’s tenement. The flames spread rapidly to S. A, Akerley’s tenement, Jas. Keliher’s and M. Moran’s, and en the other side to Minchin’s outbuildings, at one time endangering the latter’s house in the rear, and towards Queen street the outbuildings of J. L. Inches, and Queen Hotel livery stables, and Fraser, Wetmore & Winsloe’s offices,

The locality in which the’ fire breke out isone admirably adapted to feed a large conflagration, and but for the calmness of the air and the herioc work of the firemen, the lower part of the city might have been reduced toashes. There is a complete net- work of wooden buildings, shanties, sheds and outhouses connecting the residences on St. John st., Queen st. and King at the rear. The fire once into St. John street’ and there is little doubt that the House of Assembly would have been swept away.

FrepERicton, 3.15 a, m.—Atj this hour it is impossible to give accurate information as to the losses in the way of furniture, etc., but they no doubt are heavy, as the fire spread with great rapidity. There is now a general feeling of relief, and people are returning to their homes.

As wILt be seen by advertisement in another column, the Viola Clifton Lady Minstrels will appear in the Market Hall, on Wednesday and Thursday evenings next. Speaking of their recent performances in St. John, the Teiegraph says :—

‘« The hall was filled with a large audience, who appeared to enjoy themselves immensely. The performance was excellent, being given better than those given here by this troop last year, which is saying a great deal. The end men, Tony Williams and Burt Watson, kept all present in a roar of laughte- until the cuele was ended, while the singing of Miss Reynolds and Miss Clifton, was loudly applauded. The Hibernian eccentics, Williams and Sulli- van. gave an excellent performance, their brogue and the characters well represented. They were called severa) times. Miss Fannie V. Reynolds sang some ballads in good style and was deservedly encored, A few minutes of laughter followed, produced by Burt Wat- son’s funny sayings and songs. Mdlle. Irene Santella, *‘ the queen of all fancy dancers,” was received with loud applause and in a short time proved that it was well deserved. Her dancing was excellent and at times diffienlt, and the audience expressed their appreciation by loud applause. Miss Viola Clitton then

her change costumes, and was well received. Her kissing song was well applauded as were her other songs. Her changes of costume were very rapidly made and almost in the presence of the audience. She was recalled several times,and the audience seemed to wish her. on the stage all the time. The “four kings” Williams, Sullivan, Watson and Mack, caused much laughter by their bur- lesques, etc. The skipping rope dance of Mdile. Santella was excellently and skill- fully executed.. The laughable farce ‘‘ Mix- tures” concluded avery enjoyable entertain- ment,"5 Fo

““A Stccussrv, Swrepimx—On Friday a young man named Daniel K. Mclean arrived at Montreal from Pictou, N. S., having with him about $2,000 cash. He was on his way to Manitoba, and at the Bonaventure Depot fellin with another man whom he had seen once or twice in Pictou. This comparative stranger informed McLean that he was also on the way to the prairie province, and was very pleased at the prospect of having company. He told McLean that there were several little accounts which he wished to have settled be- fore leaving, and that he would esteem it a great favor if he could lenp him a little money. McLean foolishly lent him $93 in bills, and his companion left, ostensibly to settle his few little accounts. Mr. McLean watched anxiously for his return, and informed the de- tectives of the affair. He has, however, ob- liged to proceed minus his $93,as the stranger has not been seen since. — Witness. -
