OUR OAT CROP.

Tr is pleasing to learn that our oat crop ot this year is likely to be of excellent qual’- ty. We hope that farmers anddealers will be very careful to bave it well cleaned and placed upon the market in the best possi-

le condition. Last year we had a good crop,and dealers sending it to English ports went to the trouble and expense of putting their oats through the fanners before ship- ment. The result has decidedly encon- raging. Werent to Great Britain, last year, fully a million bushels of oats; and the lost reputation of P. E. Islani oats has been so far restored that there probably be a demand for them this year and next.

The principal shippers of last year were Mesars Carvel] Brothers,who sent to Eng- land upwards of 400,000 bushele; Messrs Matheson & Toombs, who sent about 285,- 900 bushels; and the Messrs Richards and Yeo whosbipped about 300,000 bushe's. Tt is safe to say that the oats sold last year in the English market netted to the far- mersof P. E. Island a sum of $250,000. This wouid an average of about $150 per farmer for oats alone. Notwithstanding the low price thas prevailed last year, the oat crop was still— owing to the lucky chance of a de- mand in the Mother Country last spring — a valuable cansideration to our farmers and the public at large. An oat crop is worth while cultivating, and careful attention ought to be given to the establish- ment of its good character upon the British markets, True it takes away a good part of the fertility of our soi] and makes no direct return to that, source of all our wealth. Certainly, the export of oats ought not to be carried on at the expense of our expanding dairy industry and pork production. But it may be continued to some extent in connectiun with or in add- jtion to the export of cheese and butter and pork and other things which give a larger net return to the farmer. There are many farmers who are not yet in a position to take part in cc-vperative dairying and the new system of agricu!ture, and who still need considerable amounts of ready money during the course of each year. For these the oat crop is a safe resource, aod for the sake of these as well as in the interest of the public at large, the greatest possible care ought to be taken in the preparation of the oats sent to Great Britain and else- where. Wecan grow better ‘oats here than in almost any other country. Let us see to it that they are placed upon the market in excellent condition.

— Montreal Gazette: Emperor William f Germany bas been complimenting the Duke of Cambriive and the “brave British

army.” It wil] take more than taffy, hough, to rehabilitate the Kaiser in tbe regerd ofthe British people. He may mean no harm, tut his desire to say things

at important junctures has led him to say 30 much contrary to British interest that must almost of necessity doubt the sincerity of his comp! - ments.

those chiefly concerned

Halifax Herald: The principle mauanciat ed by Mr. Chan:berlain has been followed for years by the British Empire League, and bv the Liberal- Conservatives of Can

ada. Obedient to this principie, they have held, and still hold, that every part of the 'mpi-e shonld give every other part of the wenpire a tarill preference ip compar

ron with the tariff treatment accord+d to von-British coustries; that every colony should give a tariff preference to the Motherland, and to each other, and tha the Motherland should give a tariff pr. - ference to every British colony. Synch a

policy is open to no c arge of selfishness | |

against any ;art of the Emp re; it would se | for the benefit of every pars and hence fu: the benefit ofthe whole. The princip! affirmed by Mr. Chambe-lain, “Each for All and All for Zach,” is the watchword of the true British Imperia ism, and in full agreement with which the Liberal- Conservatives of Canada have stood an! stand. The Grits have declared aga'nst that Imperialism, and frustrated it for the time, and have also set np what they call a “New Imperialism,” which is a dream ora form of words, without sense or use.

> + a BEHRING SEA ARRITRATION.

Mr, Beique Conciudes His Address—

Judge Putmare Objects,

The Behrisg Sea commission met yes- terday and li-tened to the contimuation of Mr. Beique’s address on the “ effect of domicile on pationality.” He dwelt for some time on this subject, and quoted new author ties in sapport of h’s c. ntentious.

Mr. Beique tovk up the action of the United States in regard to the seizures made and charged that the United States brief admitted lack of good faith on the part of that country in making such seizures,

Judge Putman objected to any such charge being made against either of the great countries concerned.

Mr. Beique claimed that there had been neglect on the part of the United States in Lord Salisbury ia i889 protested against the seizures. The action ot the President in releasing the vessels showed that country to be in the wrong. He claimed tbat the dilatory action of the United States atter the seizures had been made aggravated the case. The British Government bad accurate informa- tion in November. 1886, but the United States did not get such information until some months later. He vlaimed that the United States officials should have enquired into the seizures more promptly. This aggravated the case.

The United States by the terms of the modus viveadi agreed to turn over to the British all vessels of that country for trial. Io only oue case was this agreement com- plied with. Veasels were kept for months in the cusiody of the United States. All these actions were gross breaches of inter- national law.

Mr. Beique referred to loss from pro3- pective protfis and took up the question in its several aspects. Theclaim that in- stances of total leas could have been remedied by the purchase of new vessels was absurd. The seacon was short, and to say that these vessels, 1,500 miles at sea, could have been replaced, was hardly worthy of contradiction.

Mr. Beique concluded his argument just before the hovrof adjournment in the afternoon. The commission will resume tais morning. —Halifax Herald, Sept. 2.

Copiextz, September 1. — Emperor William, in proposing a toast tothe Riine Province, at tue provincial banquet, f eld here yesterday evening, » f-er the unveiling by His Majeny of the equestrian moau- menterected in honor of Williaa the Great, at the coofluence of the Rhine and the Moselle, made a long speech upon the subject of hie grapdfather, during the course of which he said:

“My grandfather went forth from Cv b- Jentz to mount the throne aa the chosen instrument of the Lord, and as such he regarded himself. For all of us, more es,ecially for the princess, he raised onte more on hig, crowning it with the bright rays of the treasure which may we ever preserve in its sub'imity and holiness—I mean the kingdom, by the grace of God, the kingdom with its heavy duties, its never euding, ever enduring toils and labors. with its awful responsibility to the Cre: tor alone, from which no man, no minister, no house of parliament, no people can release the Prince.

For me it will be a sacred duty, f,ilow- ing in the way which the great ruler has shown us, and in solicitude for my country to ho’d my protecting hand over this splendid jewel and in the tradition which has descended to us, and which remains stronger than iron—yes, even tban the walls of Ehrenpreitstein to take this pro-— vince to my heedfal heart, the heart of the father of hia country, and wish with all my heart that her people may grow uoder the protection of long lasting peace.”
