FIELD OFFICERS’ ASSOCIATION

| The Military Gazette announces that arrangements are beiag made to form a

field officers’ associatiion in Canada to be com poxed of officers of field rank in the eombatant, medical, and other branches of

militia service. It is proposed to |organ'ze at a meeting to be held at the Ruseell House, Ottawa, on Wednesday

evening, March 23, at 8.30 o’clock. This

. eo sh | date has been selected as the dav on which! ,., : a ; bas be - , a ; 4 | bitration when the Cleveland Administra- ' the Dominion Rifle Association are to hold }

their adjourned annual meeting, An

| association, such as the propose’, could asysthe Gazette be of incalcuable value to the militia and to the authorities. | The assoe ation could bring to the attention | of the Department, matters on which there | is a conse: sus of opinion in the militia, and the Department would be enabled to } obtain the colective opinion of the militia | officers as expressed by this association on any subject.

| What is required is an assoeiation like the

proposed one, to embrace a larger ephere for the benefit of the militia generally, and not to encroach in any way on the existing aseociations.

THE BUSINESS SLUGGARD.

A good many youog men spoil their chances for success in life by the frequency with wloch they eome late to business. Arriving at business in good time does not ) create atili'y where the same is lacking; | Lut Jute arrival at busines: discounts what- ever ability the slothful one may have.

The bird that is late getting iato the mea- dow secures but tew worms, and the young nan who is in the habit of getting to busi» | ness Jate misses many Opportunities for

success. The habit of arriving at the | post oo f duty late betokens | Slothfulne:s. And ro employer will be in «a hurry to advance

ofthis type. Then the young man who is slow to put in an appesrance at the post of duty is usually the quickest to get away from it at the cluse of the dav. In other words, he is quite willing to cut of some- thing at both ends of the working day. The men who have been the most succeas- ful in life are those who have been early at the post of duty in the morning and have | not been in an inordinate hurry to leave it | at night, especially when pressing matters | required attention. He who would be enecessful must not only exercise well his ability, but he must use well the time which his own or his employer’s business cemands of him.—Canadian Grocer.

THE AMERICAN-SP4N‘SH TROUBLE:

tion in 1894 insisted that England should not confiscate some filty square miles of Venezuelan territory without arbitration

are now invoking grim war. At the time of the Venezuelan quesiion the New York World declare! that the elirinkage of stocks in

Wall Street had cost $700,000,000 and the Canadian press reiterates this statement as an efsument for peace and arbitra ion. Today the stock market is again in a flurry and th: value of securities hag been reduced by sensational war etories. Do we findthe New York World and the ministers seeking peace and arbitration? Nothing of the kind. They are for war and rumors of war. The sensational pulpit like the sensatioval press is reaping a rich harvest. The pareons are clamoring for war, One luminary -a chaplain of one cf the st .te legislatures —in his opeaiug prayer the ovher day flashed out brilliantly as fol- lowe: “If war must come may it be pushed to a successful issue; and if it be Thy wil! that a barbarous blood-thirsty nation sha'l be wiped from the map of the world we

will submissively say “Great and marvell- | ous are thy works Lord God Almighty, |

just and true are Thy wavs Thon King of Saints. Amen.” The New York World in its issue of the 4:h inst. says:~‘She

(Spain) must take herself utterly out of |

this hemisphere at the least. If she does 80 quickly and abandons her pretenee of being a “Power” she may perhaps survive for @ time asa exot on the mapof Europe.” If the United States act upon the sug

persons | gestions ofthe New York World and the | parsons she will simply be acting the ' sally.

Spain has always been the rriend of the United States, She was her friend inthe warof 1812,and yet there are some sections ofthe American people, among them the reputed 260,000 Orange~ men who have sworn allegiance to Queen Victoria, who pretendto be willitrg and ready to fight Spain without knowing why. It would be amusing to see the cousternation of these fire eaters if it was suddenly found that England stood between Spain in a war with the United States. I am inclined tothiuk that those who are now talking loudest of war would be the firstt> skip back to Ontario and Nova Scotia or would be on hand to fill the vac- ant places of the patriotic citizens of the Repub'ic wbo would mot hesitate to goto tha front iftheir country required their services.

ae NEWS NOTES,

—s

La Presse, the great independent French paper in Montreal, says: The result of the Ontario provincial election is a sur~ prise to al who have taken no active part in the Compaign. The conclusion to be be drawn is that the popular verdict is against the Drummond and the Yukon projecis.

An idea of the general use to which gas is put to in Great Britain it is cited that the consump jon of gaa at Salisbury, Eng,a town only slightly larger than Charlotte- town, is keventy-eight million cubic feet per year. Gas costs eighty six cente per thousand and is used almost exclusively for lighting and heating purposes. This shows bow the price of gas depends on the consumption and is au object lesson to gas consumers in genera] as the more who nse it the more it can be used by all as the cheaper it wll be. Strange to say that this does not apply to other mediums of light or heat.

| THE MARKET FOR OATS,

(Montreal Trade Bulletin.)

| There has been a decided success in the | market for oats during the past two weeks,

prices having declined within that period | fully 2c. to 3c. prr bushal, with large quan- | tities yetto be marketed both in Ontario ‘andthis province. We have been shown let-

fers from the country during the past few

| days, stating that in sections where a short

time since oats were selling at 314., they

-| dan now be bought at 28c, f. 0. b., showing

a cleardrop of 34c. per bushbal. A lot of 15,000 bushals was offered to an exporter here on Monday last by a country dealer at 32jc. for export but thoy were refused. 325 being the best bid. Several of our country subscribers who have called upon us this week from points in Quebec and Gntario, say there are plenty of oats in farmers banda, During the past season commencing in may last, about 7,000 bue- hels of Canadian oats have been shipped from Montrea!,8t. John and Portland,

correspanding period Jast season, showing an increase of this season, however, were considerably higher than those ruling for the previous season, as they are shown to be about llc. to 12c. above that of a year ago.

So P+ ee MORE AGOUT HOCKEY,

Sir,--An anonymous writer in this mornings Guardian wishes to know if it be true that the Crescents are about to play the Kindergarter School Hockey. I might say that the only team qualified to play those juniors would be a picked Team from the Prince of Wales College. He is evidently insinuating on the recent defeat of the Crescents at the hands of the so-~

called College team for the junior championship and Trophy. I would like to ask this anonymous write> how it was that the college team

wouldn’t play the final game with the

Crescente until they felt sure that the ice was in an unfit condition. The public are well aware that they can't play the swift game the Crescents do. Consequently the slow ice of Friday last proved a benefit to them in working their slow combination.

I might say inconclusion, Mr. Ediuor, if the ice had been in good coadition, I feel | confident the result would have been changed from a victory to a defeat for this wouldsbe college team.

The Victorian Order will be early in the Klondike field. It hae already made arrangements to send four nurses into ths gold country.

Fever (malarial) is again very preval- ent in the northern {districts of the Trans- vaal, and in the Portuguese territories the season is considered one of the worst known This is doubtless due to the ex- ceptionally heaay rains this year. To give an instance of the deluge experien= ceb, the rainfalls in the town of Pieters- burg (Transvaal) for the firet twenty days of January was 10.75 inches.
