UBSCRIBE for the BAILY EX- AMUNER, the Cheapest and most newsy Paper published in the Province,

POLITICAL NOTES.

The Conservatives have nominated Mr. Joseph Tasse, translator of the House of Commons, to oppose Dr, St. Jean in Ottawa.

This was the Toranto Globe’s outlook in

1873, after Mr. McKenzie came into power :

OFFICE HOURS . . 9, A. M., TILL 6, P.M.

“We look with confidence to the new

| Government for a broad, liberal policy, a

prompt and thorough reform of the hundred evils which have afiected the country under the late reyime, and anticipate a long career of national prosperity and material pro- gress for the Dominion under its auspices.”

Messrs. Irving and Wood have again been nominated by the Grit Party in Hamilton. They are illustrious representatives of the School of Sham. Their entire parliament- ary life has been a deception and a fraud. They went to the House of Commons pledged to do their best to secure a fiscal system which would give fair play to our manvufacturing industries ; they have stead- ily supported a Government whose policy is disastrous to these industries—who believe that the more we import, rather than make in the country, and thereby employ capital and labor among ourselves, the richer we ate.—Toronto Mail.

It was denied that Mr. Coffin had printed his card at Ottawa so as to avoid the ‘‘in ferior” work and ‘‘enormous” prices of the organs of Nova Scotia. The Ottawa Citizen publishes the’card as follows :—

Dear Srr,—As a Minister of the Crown, holding the portfolio of Receiver General of Canada, I offer myself for re-election as repre- sentative of Shelburne County in the Dominion Parliament, at the approaching genera} elec- tions.

Trusting that my past services have been such as to warrant your confidence, I would respectfully ask for your vote and influence.

Your obedient servant, THOMAS COFFIN,

Barrington, 25th May, 1878.

It is now clear to everybody that we can- not obtain any improvement in our trade policy so long as the present Government remain in power. The one great and per- severing effort of Messrs. Irving and Wood is to keep them in power. Sink Protec- tion if the Ministry may not swim. If the the electors of Hamilton desire to perpe- trate the farce which has been played openly before their eyes for four years past, they will again return Messrs. Irving and Wood to Parliament. We cannot believe they are so indifferent to their own interests as to commit so gross a piece of folly. There is nothing Canada needs so much as such a judicious readjustment of the tariff as will encourage home industries and bring to bear upon our neighbours that gentle pres- sure without which they will continue to persevere in their present selfish trade policy.

The following conclusions are drawn by

the Halifax Merald :—

(1.) That the Reform leaders who took oftice to cut down the general expenditure have increased it.

(2.) That they have not only broken their piedges but ignored the urgent neces- sity for Economy, created by “‘ hard times,”

(3.) That so far from reducing the run- ning expenses of the machinery of govern- ment, which they denounced as grossly ex- travagant, they have largely increased them.

(4.) That instead of reducing the national debt, they have added more to it in four years than their opponents did in six.

(5.) That instead of enjoying ‘‘ a career of material prosperity and material pro- gress’ under their management, the coun- try is suffering grievously from deficits, by which its credit is being impaired and its future injured,

The Ottawa Herald says: ‘ Newspapers throughout the country are now giving pub- licity to surmises as to what shall happen when the Quebec Assembly meets, and it may not be out of place to tell what we kuow about the situation. The Toronto Telegram’s statement that ‘should Joly not be sustained, the Lieutenant Governor will dissolve the House again,’ cannot have any foundation, for such a course would be con- trary to all usuage, if not absolutely uncon- stitutional. In such an emergency we should think it would be the proper thing for the Lieutenant Governor to call upon the leaders of the Opposition te form a Min- istry, and then, in case of his failing to do so, or to find the necessary support in the House, it would be in order for a dissolution to be proclaimed. From what we have been able to learn, we have concluded that Mr. Joly will fail to elect his nominee for the Speakership, and that .[r. Chapleau, whe has come to the front as ‘._ leader of the Bleus, will be called upon to form a Min- istry, and further, that it is his intention to form a coalition Government. These plans are laid on the supposition that each mem- ber of the Bleu party will remain steadfastiy faithful to his allegiance.

The Eustern Chronicle has been credibly informed that an American company has leased the Lake Ainslie, N. 8., petroleum property, and will proceed to test the oil- producing capabilities of the district. One hundred thousand dollars will be expended for that purpose, and from twenty to thirty steam engines will soon be on the ground. Mr. Reed, of Pennsylvania oil-wells’ fame, is at the head of the enterprise. Such an expenditure in Cape Breton should do much to relieve the depression of business in that part ef the Province.

French Sympathy.

4

“. Paris correspondent points out. that public feeling in France, which until lately was fairly neutral as between Russia and England, is now very decidedly manifesting itself on the English side. The idea is working itself into the minds of the French people that, at some time, and in some way or other, Russia and Germany will be found combined together against France. The rude militarism which rules in the North and East likes not the freer air of Western Kurope, and will some day seek occasion of quarrel. The jbare fact that France isa Republic threatens danger to occupants of thrones in Berlin and St. Petersburg. That the French Republic should simply continue to exist is to them an element of uneasi- ness. This is one of the considerations which tend to keep before the English peo- ple the idea of war with Russia, as some- thing that must come some day, even if it be averted for the present.

Important to Newfoundland Traders.

The Newfoundland Government have issued a proclamation, naming the ports in the Island at which goods in bond, or dutiable goods, may be landed. Heretofore, it has been the prac- tice to clear for any port, whether tiere was a Custom House there or not, but now Collect- ors have been appointed at the following ports, and there is a penalty of $800 and the forfeit- ure of the goods if landed elsewhere. The eo named are Bett’s Cove, Tilt Cove, Twil- ing Gate, Fogo, Greenspond, Catalina, Trin- ity, Hants Harbor, Hearts Content,Carbonear, Harbor Grace, Bay Roberts, Brigus, Hol ; Portugal Cove, St. John’s.

A Prorane TELEPHONE.-—An enterpris- ing firm in St. John have fitted up a tele- phone from the down town office to another branch of their business establishment. The other day the head of the firm, a man with a high sense of dignity and propriety, in- vited the Rev. Mr. —— to step in and see how the telephone worked. Putting his mouth to ithe instrument, the proprietor playtully asked, ‘*What is the price of flour to-day!’ Then turning to the clergyman he smilingly said, ‘‘Now, put your ear to and see what it says.” The clers smiled and did as requested, while the pro- prietor stood by to watch the effect. It was astonishing, for to the surprise and amaze- ment of both, the answer came back with painful distinctness, ‘‘Go to —-- and find out.” The exhibition was abruptly ended, the clergyman took his leave, and the pro- prietor started to find out who was at the other end of the telephone. He did not succeed in finding out, nor has he done so up to this time.—H~w. Heraid.

A German, seventy years old, a carder in the carpet works at Thompsonville,Conn., drowned himself on the 20th, because he, could only earn sixty cents a day, on which he and his wife could not live.

The Countess Brownlow has loaned to an exhibition of ancient needlework in Lon- don, a white satin cap, once worn by au- burn-haired Queen Elizabeth. Her Ma- jesty’s satin boots are also shown, decked with embroidery and silver, and suitable to a sovereign who trod in spacious times.

In Germany Liberals and Ultramontanes have combined to defeat the Government Anti-Socialist bill, which it is said cannot be passed in the face of this united opposi- tion. Leaving out Russia, Germany seems iikely to have more trouble than any other country in Europe with socialism. In France the socialists element has lost three- fourths of the strength it once had, through the operation of Republican institutions, in fact as well as in theory; while in England household. suffrage, free speech and a free press, leave socialism without a bottom of popularity to stand upon. But Germany is the land of political dreamers, who, stand- ing between a military Government on one hand and a mass of the unenfranchised on the other, find dangerous material con- venient to work upon. That Germany will some day attain Parliamentary Government in its proper sense is to be expected; but he would be a bold man who would dare prophesy that the boon will certainly be at- tained without a revolution. Countries that, like England and France, have had their revolutions already, appear safer for the future than those that have their revo- | Jutions yet to come,
