Lord Granville, and it is said he at once accepted England's mediation with refer- ence to a neutral zone, but subject to reference to Pekin. M. Waddington assured the Minister that reinforcements uow being sent to Tonquin are only just

‘sufficient to keep the French foree there ‘in av effective fighting condition, and

therefore imply no menace whatever to China. The Chinese Government have been advised to accept the French terms and au early settlement of the present

| troubles is looked for.

—The Patriot is in error. We have not presumed to jeer and sueer at the fiscal policy of the Mother Country. But we say that, with a large and wealthy

‘country on our borders whose policy 1s

protection, with undeveloped mines of irow and coal, and with # sparse popula- National Policy is the right policy for Canada. Granted that Free Trade has been, on the whole, best for England, Free Trade does not prevent

through its unfounded statements and worthless surmises. The (Globe invents 4 ‘‘collapse’”’ and gloats over the monstrous creature of its imagination. It exhibits a) bad. a dangerous spirit, one destructive of | business credit and calculated to be injur-| ious in proportion to the influence of the paper.

It is pleasing to note that there is one Opposition newspaper in Canada which has the courage aud public spirit to re-| buke the unpatriotic conduct of the} Opposition’s “leading organ.”

-~The political outlook in England at present shows increased activity on the part of the extreme Radicals who} are preparing to coutest all the great} beroughs at the next election, even in | opposition to Liberal candidates of the ald school. The programme issued by Pankhurst, the ultra-Radical candidate for Manchester, is a type of the rest. It comprises.the abolition of the House of Lords; adult manhood suffrage; pay- ment of members of parliament; the! disestablishment of the church; the! abolition cf parliamentary oaths; secular, free and compulsory education, and local’ self-government for Ireland. At the conference to be shortly held at Leeds an effort will be made to subordinate this programme to the ifimediate interest of the Liberal party. In Ireland the Parnellites are working with great vigor, with the view of returifing such a pre- ponderauce of Home Rulers to Parlia- ment as shall enable Mr Parnell to hold the balance between the two parties and dictate his own terms to both.

—The Toronto Mail is right about the Leadership of the Liberal-Conserva- tive Party. It says:-~Any man in public life, who is young enough to ex- pect to survive Sir John Macdonald may also hope to succeed him, by dint of use- tulnees, ability, industry aud popularity. The question of leadership to a party is not decided by one man’s ambition, but by all men’s will; it depends not on per- sonal choice or on even a caucus vote; but on pre-eminent talent and tact recog- nized bya party and a nation,and followed by them with due loyalty and confidence. In the meantime Sir John Macdonald is right here. He is the Liberal-Con- servative leader. and likely to be so for years tocome. There is, greatly to the regret of the morbid anatomists of the Grit organs, no serious failing in his health. His wit is as bright as ever it was, as the dull-witted and wordy chief of the Opposition knows to his cost. His skill has not decreased with years, as the smashed up Grit party knows, and as the triumphant majority in Parliament recognize and cheer.

—A few days ago the Toronto Globe published a statement to the effect that the Canadian Pacific Railway Company had refused to accept any portion of their land subsidy from lauds west of Qu’ Appelle, on the ground that the country through which the railway runs west of that point is unfit for settlement. In reply to this statement Mr. George Stephen, President of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, has sent a letter to the Globe in which he states,—

“That this company have not contem- plated, and do not contemplate, refusing or declining to accept any of the uneven num- bered lots in the railway belt west of Qu’- Appelle as part of their land grant, except in so far as any particular section, for some special reason, may not be fairly fit for settlement; that this company have ex- amined a large portion of the territory re- ferred to, and are satisfied not only that itis in a material degree fairly fit for settlement, but that toa large extent it consists of as fine farming land as is to be found in the Northwest Territories or in any part of Canada; and as respects the portion of the territory not yet specially examined, they have no reason to doubt that it is of equally good quality.”

—The correspondence between Lord Granville, British Minister of Foreign Affairs, aud M. Waddington, French Ambassador to London, with reference to the attitude of France in Anam is re- garded as satisfactory. M. Waddington stated that the French Government was willing to admit the claims of China to the sovereignity over Anam, with the right of investiture of a monarch, and of | a veio over the succession tothe throne. He also stated his Government were willing to discuss favorably the Chinese proposal of a neutral tone between the Chinese Frontier and French Protector- ate. On the same question the Chinese |

Ambassador also bad wu iuterview with |

the wages of spinners and weavers.— Lon- don Cable Despatch, Sept. ae.

So it seems that the cotton lords of Canada, with whose distress the Patriot

has lately been sympathizing, are no

'worse off than their fellows in Free

Trade England, and that the cotton spinners and weavers there, as _ here, have had to suffer a reduction in their

wages. But what is more important for the public of this Province to know, is the undeniable fact that cotton and sugar aud tea, and mavy other neces- saries of daily use are cheaper now than when ex-Gevernor Laird luxuriated in the high places at Ottawa and Battleford.

—In the course of his address at the opening of the Toronto Exhibition, His Excellency the Governor-General said :—

‘*T had aconversation only yesterday with a gentleman at the head of the Agricultural Science department of South Kensington, Lendon. Toshow you that there is a wide field for dhe surplus population you would wish to get—& should like to quote that

entleman’s worda, His name is@Raof. anneys, and his authorityasof great t.

He told me that over 6,000 passed last year

the eXamination im agrieulture instituted by the Government, and that of these 6,000 there was certainly not opportunity for the employment of more than one-tenth in great Britain. Thus nive-tenths must, if they wish to follow the pursuit indicated by their studies, leave the shores ofthe Old Country. I should certainly recommend them to come here. (Cheers.) I have made such recommendations often at home. Sometimes I have been told I in- curred a great responsibility in so doing. | shall be very glad to assume such a re- sponsibility. (Cheers) I only ask the On- tario societies, when they invite immigrants out here, not to send for instructors of youth. I have received 90 letters from people who said they were certain that there must be a capital opening in Canada for a good governess. (Laughter.) 1 con- fess I know of none such, for here we rear our own stock in this respect. One of the most noble exhibits in the Exhibition to- day will be found to ie the school desk and bench, which I have no doubt may be seen among the most prominent products of Canadian industry. I shall continue to recommend this province, because you have inspired me with the utmost confidence in it and its future. Probably your strength lies in the fact that your community have

so much confidence in themselves.” (ee

Souris Petitioning.

Your issue of July 17th, and one or two other dates, contained suggestions in ‘‘Items from Souris,” as to the necessity for public buildings here, for the purposes of Postal and Customs work. The ‘‘idea” has since (as it was previously) been subject of much public comment. Leading men in the community, and the public in general, feel that more convenient and important public government buildings are necessary in this part of King’s County. A large amount of government business is transacted, excellent officers fill their respective positions, and not only theirs, but public convenience demands that the Government of the Dominion should provide suitable pre- mises.

This morning the balls has been set a- going by the presentation of the following petition for public signature. It has already been largely and influentially signed, and awaits still further signatures at the office of Mathew, McLean & Co:—

To rur Honoras_e Str Hecror LANG@xvin, ¢. B., Q. C., Minister of Public Works, Dominion of Canada:

We, the undersigned residents of Souris and surrounding country, in the Province of Prince Edward Island, most respectfully represent:—

That the Town of Souris and suburban districts contaia a population of about three thousand people.

That much inconvenience is felt by vour petitioners through want of proper Post Office accommodation at Souris.

‘That the apartment occupied at present as a Post Office at Souris is not more than twelve feet by ten in area.

That, during the greater part of the year, especially in the fall and winter, applicants for mail are obliged to stand in the open air until access is had to the wicket within.

That the Souris Post Office is a distributing office for all the outlying districts in the east- ern end of King’s County.

That a suitable site, centrally situated,could be purchased, and a building suitable for a Post Office, Custom House and Savings Bank, combined, erected thereon, at a cost not exes ceeding four thousand dollars.

Your petitioners, therefore, most earnestly entreat Your Honor to take these premises iato your favorable consideration, and direct such measures to be taken as will supply the want long felt by your petitioners;

And your petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray.

Your correspondent would respectfully

suggest that in the event of the prayer of

the petition being granted—and the Gov- | errant certainly cunnet very well refuse—_

“THE DAILY EXAMINER, SHPTEMBER

the new public building should be placed in as central a position as possible, so as to accommodate, in an equally satisfactory manner, both school districts. Somewhere near the line dividing the Granumar and Colville districts would, I think, suit best, as that position would be quite central. LANCASTER.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

Information Wanted.

Dear S1r,—I saw in the St. John daily Evening News, of the 11th Sept. inst., a notice that liberal arrangements have been made with all the Railway and Steamboat Lines for carrying passengers to the Domi- nion Exhibition at St. John, giving return tickets for one first class fare. Now I have paid for years past five dollars, the amount charged for one first class fare. Why has ninety-five cents more been added.

Yours truly, TRAVELLER.
