Havre, as in duty bound, expressed the

coacerning the filling of the vacancy in the
Senate caused by the lamevted death of the |
tate Hon. Joseph U. Arsenault, we have acthing further te say about the matter. Let the Government conciliate, as best they way, the various contending claimants whose various services and abilities’ are being so energetically represented. But we must point out that the fleld of action gs not circumscribed by the of Prince County, as some persons contend.
limits
The constitution of Canada dees not set out county limits, or any sectious! limit, other than tha of the province, as those within which a
senator may be selected. Sucha .imita- tien is manifestly impossible; for neither ©urcounties, nor our ridings, nor any other sectional division of the country corres-
pood with the namber of our senators.
Nor is such a limitation in the interest of the country—
because it would necessitate, at times, the appointment of inferior men tothe Senate and the exclusion from it of superior men. If such a limitation bad been fixed and acted upon,some of the ablest senators who have adorned the Upper Chamber and exerted influence within ite walls could not have been appointed; and the country would have lost the benefit of their services in Parliament. It is, therefore, a wise provision of the constitution which per- mite the Governor-General toe select a eenatcr for aprovinee from any part of that Province; and the Hon. David Laird and Dr. Mclatyre wil] haveas much right to complain if not appointed to the coveted position, asthe Hon. John Yeo or Mr. Perry or Mr. Rogers or anyone residing withia the limits of Prince County. There is nothing whatever in the contention that a senatorial candidate musi pecessar- tly be a Prince County man,—except the fact that Hon. Mr. Howlan aod Hon. Mr. Arsenault were Prince County men; and that is only one among other and more important considerations governing the choice in this caze.

TRE GROWTH OF WHEAT.
—The New Brunewicker resident in P. E. Island compares the views and methods af New Brunewick and P. E. I-land farmers as tothe growth of wheat,in a getter to the St. John Sun. He writes:
“The New Brunewick farmer says emphatically it does not pay to 1aise wheat. At least statist'cs reveal the fact that he grows much lees than he did forty or fift~ vears ago. The island farmer says per- haps just as emphatically that the opposite we the case. Perhaps there never was a time when this province rai-ed more wheat in comparison to the farming popu- lation than is grown today. Almost witb- @ut exception every farmer makes bis own Gread, buying absolutely none of the im- ported article, while huadreds of farmers either sell wheat or flour after making
provision for home use. The professional and working cClas-ea who live in the towns and cities, it ia safe to say use wore domestic floug than any other kind, and it is said large quantities of island flour are exported. The wheat diarvesting inthe autumn, while it may

—“And he never admitted that ne is a Liberal,” is the climax of Rouge protest aguinst J. Israel Tarte. Tarte is a rascal, but a ciever rescal, While he hes played traitor to One party to become the master of another he has aneye to business in

—The price of the victory in Nicolet 01 Tuesday last ia the construction of South Shore Railway. connect Montreal Quebec. When completed it will be a rival road to the Drammond Countiesline, lately obtained bythe Government as a result of a scandalous “deal” with its own ers. There are besides these two other through lines, and three of the four are ou the south side of the St. Lawrence. The South Shore route 1s shorter than the Drummond Counties by some fifteen wiles. Having already taken over a railway with two competitors, Sir Wilfrid is mow morally bound to aasiat the construction of the third competing line. Such Liberal management in the interest of the country at large.

Not lovg ago Manitoba had to import Jarge quantities of meats for its own consumpiion, but now the tables are turned. This year 34,500 beef cattle were exported, 16,500 of which went ta the. States as stockers. There were raised 37,500 hogs, 12,500 be- ing exported, and 25,000 dealt with by Winnipeg packers, who will increase their ; capacity by 100 per cent. by next April. The province is forging abead, and has bever been so prosperous.
—A new and powerful claimant for een- atorial honors in the person of Dr. Mec Intyre, of Sonris, bas recently entered the iets; and his entry will ceriainly make matters much more complicate. The Doctor, greatly as he desiredon the hust- ings and elsewhere, the departure from county lines when a Chariettetonian was named tothe Senate for his own county of King’s some years ago, thinks now that Souris is quite pear enough to Alberton to permit of a resident of the former repre- senting the latter sprightly little wwn fatisfactorily at Ottawa. On the lists we have now the Messrs. Yeo and Perry, Laird and Rogers, Dr. MelIntyre and Mathieson, Gaffney, Gallant and Joseph Murphy, besides a number of Summer- siders and othere who are making a silent huot. The Red Chamher has evidently gainei in favor since Sir Wilfrid crossed the floor of the House. Grapes that were sour when not withiu a Liberal’s reach, a few years ago, are now as sweet a: Liban nectar.
— Under the heading “Halifax Notes,” the Montreal Witness has the following: “Some little comment bas been occasioned amoung the members ot St. Matthew’s, the oldest and leading Presbyterian church here, by an innovation in its mode of worship lately introduced. Two changes have been made. The Lord’s Prayer, which it bas been the custom of the Cfliciating minister to proowunce is now to be said by minister and peopie in common a? itisifithe services for morning and evening prayer in the Charch of Engiaod. Also an ‘Amen’ is to be sung with organ accompaniment at the end of each psalm. These changes have been mads with the approval of the‘session’ of the church. They were introduced at the Wedneadav evep'ng praver meeting last week and it was announced upon that vccasion thay

services after New Year’s Day. St. Muaithew’s is one of the historic churches of Halifax. Rev, Mr. Fowler on Sanday lust made an announcement in effect with the above. After the new year opens the coogregation will unite with the pastor in repeating the ‘‘Lord’s Prayer,” will say “Amen” to the prayers, and will sing “Amen” to the hymns.
—A correspondent at Moneton writes : Another of Mr. Blair’s businesa methods ic the management of the I. C. R., bas come to light. Ithbasa tmge of Tarte’s “business is basiness” methods, It ap- peare that some tep thousand cedar rail- wiy tree have recently been carried aver
_
of the line in Quebec to Nova Scotia, and some of them to the extreme eastern end of the Jine in Cap? Breton. Some of the ies were iett off at Oxford Junction and thers at Point Tupper, and acme have
rone to the Narrows in Cape Breton. It i estimat«d that a fair freight charge for hauling those
ties between the poin's named, an average listance of 700 miles, would be eight or uine cents apiece, as acar wi}! rot carry more than four hundred, and $32 a car would not be an excessive friegut for thig distance, as any business man knows, The secret of this extraordinary and bith« erto unheard of course on the part of the I, C. R. management appears to be that when tenders for ties were asked, a conservative was found to be the lowest tenderer, and it wae necessary to take more than dcuble the number Called for in order to accomodate Quebec grits who had tendered at a higher figure. Thus, whiie 19,000 jties were called for, 55.060 were taken, and this left alarge surplus on hand. The Quebec grits got about 20 cents apiece for their ties, and adding say 8 cents for banling, brings the cost up to 28 cents landed in Cape Breton for ties which do not usually cost more than 18 cents. The Quebec ties are also said to de a foot shorter than the
I.C. R. standard. The transaction is iadefensible from any point of view. —The Quebec correspondent of the
Montreal Star supplies some interesting little details in connection with the recent meeting of Sir Wilfrid Laurier aod Mr. Langelier. He says: “ All day Saturday
Sir Wilfrid waited in vain forthe Hon. }
irs. Langelier and his leading svimpathiz- ers tocall apoo him. They came not. Mr. Choquette, M. P., and Mr. Carro!l, M. P., were constantly about the gallant knight but the member for Quebec Centre re- mained away from the charmed circle. ‘If Mr. Leurier wants to see me,” said Mr. Langelier, “he knows where to fiod me.” But yesterday proved that Mr. Langelier knew what he was talking about and Sir Wilfrid found bim, and found him at home too, Yesterday morning the Premier, attended by his faithful hench-~ men, Messrs. Choquette and Carroll, fetout tocether for gthe modest red brick cottage erected on the Grande Allee, opposite the new Francisan Nunnery, by the member for Quebec Centre, to take the place as a family residence of the handsome and imposing stone front’ man- sion facing the Parliament House, which Mr. Langelier sold, as be has already described himself, to pay the note endorsed Sy him for the benefit of the state.man of the sunny ways who called npon him yesterday. The interview Jasied for a couple of hours, and is tobe described in all the Ministerial papers as cordial in the extreme. Sir Wi frid says eo. Mr. Carrol! endorses the statement. Mr. Choquette enthusiastically declares the same thing. Only Mr. Langelier remains mute. Sir Wilfrid is eaid to feel keenly the hostility experienced by Mr. Tarte, the stand of the Liberal Club, Mr. Langelier’s remarks there, as well as the action of many of his former friends in keeping altogether away trom him because of their sympathy with Langelier.
