Notes and Comments.

| —The crisis in the farming industry of Ccont Beit.ia is causing a great increase in ltue number of enquiries being received ‘from people of the farming class whe are |tlinkirg of emigrating. Special effurts are jbeing iasde ‘broughout the country to di- vert as uch of the promised emigration as possible in the direction of Canada, and the agents of the Dominion say that the pros- pects have not been so good since 1882, in which year 100,000 people left the Uaited |Kingdom for Canada, and carried with {them effects valued at $3,000,000. | —§t. John Sun: “The grit Halifax Chronicle and the grit Moncton Transcript are attributing all sorts of bad motives to ithe government for the proposed transfer of the Intercolonial. As the government has [net transferred the railway to anybody and }has made no proposition to that effect, it {seems to be unnecessary to search for motives. But our contemporaries might in jtheir searchings of keart inquire into the motives of the grit St. John Telegraph, | which is demanding the transfer. | —Apropos ct the threatening sort of statements made in the President’s message about the C. P. R, we recall that Mr. A. i). McKinnon, general manager of the Mon 'treal and Coucord Railway, laughed at the New York Sun’s crusade against the C. P. \R. and other Canadian railways. That ‘gentleman declares that the interests of | American railroads do not demand restric- ltion of the C. P. R. As proof of this Mr. {McKinnon cited the fact that an elevator is being built now in Boston by an Ameri- ‘can company ata cost of $1,000,000, and this is to handle grain carried from the west by the C. P. KR.

—If the following telegram be true, the ‘social condition of the people in that part ‘of Uncle Sam’s domain is horrible :

‘““KNoxvILLe, Tenn., Dec. §.—Several sus-

ts have been placed in ja:l at Willian.sburg, Ky. for the rape and murder of Miss Mildred A mob of fifty men yesterday took two negroes and one white man, suspected of ithe deed, and started out to hang them ‘Going some distance into the woods, three !nooses were adjusted from the limb of a tree.

Each prisoner prayed piteously for his life, swearing iunocence. The leader of the mob gave the word and the three bodies dangled in the air. When only a spark of life remained they were let down and revived but stil) no confession came. Again they were strung up and again let down, and then they were carried back to jail andconfined. One of the negroes and the white man will die.

—Hon. Mr. Ou!met, speaking to a reporter, ‘gaid the grit press had taken # very unfair advantage of him with regard to his speech at the Soulanges county nomination by tearing one sentence from its context and making him a that Canada now had a Roman Catholic ipremier. The minister said his reference to the matter was apropos of nemination pro- ceedings in the same county nine months ago. On that occasion H. J. Cloran had endeavored to arouse the religious prejudice of his aud- ience by the statement that although Sir John Thompson was by far the ablest man in the Conservative party, yet because he was a Roman Catholic fanatical Protestants in the Conservative ranks would not eccept Sir John as premier. He (Mr, Ouimet) had referred to these remarks of Cloran’s for the purpose of pointing out that they were @ libel on the Conservative party; that fanaticism was not to be found within its ranks, but on the con trary, that Protestant Conservatives had evinced their toleration by es Roman Catholic in the person of Sir John Thompson as premier, This explanation of Hon. Mr. Ouimet places the matter in an entirely differ- ent light and shows that the grits will stoop to base misrepresentation for the purpose of going party advantages.

News Notes.

The Nova Scotia Mining Association has invited the American Institute of Mining Engineers to held their next autumn session at Halifax.

At a confirmation recently held at Blaenawn, Wales, the following were con- firmed: 43 Baptists, 20 Wesleyans, 10 Primative Methodists, 4 Calvinistic Metho-

~ dists, 1 Bible Christian, 1 Congregationalist,

and 15 undenominational.

The voice of Emile Olliver delivering ‘an address at the French Academy sounds ‘like one from the tomb. He has not been |heard in public since April, 1870, when, jas Napoleon’s Prime Minister, he went down in a whirlwind of war and disaster. | But Prince Bismarck’s recent revelations | have considerably cleared his character.

It is estimated that 10,000 steerage | passengers left New York within the past {month for Italy where they will spend during the winter the money they have jsaved trom their labor on railroads and ‘ditches during the summer. Out of $1 25 ls day it is estimated that emigrant saves $1 and takes back with him about $2 to his sunny southern home. This would be 4 a total of $2,000,000 for the lot.

| Monetary Times : President Harrison's parting shot at the trade of Canada shows that be has learnt nothing from his late | defeat and the defeat of McKinleyism. | Nor has he learnt that to treat economic questions with passion is the sure way to play a losing game. His Message to Can- ada, as we call this part of it, sounds like an echo from the other world; it is an lanachronism, and like himself, is out of date. It would be strange if Congress should act upon his suggestions after his policy has been condemned with an emphasis such as was, perhaps, hever before heard in the Repubiic.

Sir Edward Hill, M. P., who was recently in Toronto, writing to Bristol, England, from Vancouver, says: “Canada is thoroughly Conservative, prosperous and loyal. No one can come from the Old Country, as they affec- tionately call England, without feeling a ' greater pride thenever in being able to say Civia Brittannicus sum.”

island Notes. Perbaps sufficient attention has not yet been paid tu the modest production issued by John McKinnon. entitled ** Rambles ia Europe.” Mr. McKinnon is well known

in this Province as the editor for years of

an Island newspaper. He is a gentleman with a good education, whose remarks on foreign travel may be accounted unrivalled. His bovk is a perfect gem, and the account alone which he gives of old Scotland, its islands, its bays and towns, is sufficient to repay a careful perusal as well as the price of the beok, which is merely nominal The example set by the author is worthy of imitation. Without being over-burdened with a super-abundance of this world’s goods, he has placed before his fellow Pro- vincialists a most vivid and picturesque description of not only his native heatherland, but also of England and its mosc important cities, as well as Ireland and its beautiful scenery. Passing over to the continent, he has given Cescriptions of his travels through the mountains and vales of Italy and other countries which is well worthy of perusal. His notes about the city of London have only to be read to be appreciated. Books by Provincialists are liabie te beoverlooked, but here is a book which you cannot mis- take in having

Now so much in regard to a book which is well worthy of perusal. 1 may congratu- late the people of this Province on the uni- form good prices which they have received for their abundant harvest. Taking « sur- vey cf the western continent with its super- abundant crops, which occasion low pric’s, tte Prince Edward Island farmer can be truly congratulated on the prices which he has received ; and it is to be hoped that the traders and shippers will receive returos to reimburse them for the prices they have been paying. It is too true that this is more than they have realized so far; and it is to be hoped that later shipments will repay them for any losses they may have made at the first of the season,

The season being unusuaily mild, all Island ports are still open to navigation, Though vessels are now very chary of being chartered for some of the Island ports which freeze in early. Ths «aste-n ports, princi pally Montague, Georgetown and Souris, may be counted on as being open till Christ- mas, and a good deal of shipping is now done at those pur's. It may here be men- tioned that t).> d-edge hus been performing good service |; » raighteting the course of the river to hiv.ttcue. Though one of the most accessible puitson the Island, the Marine Department, alive to the interests of shippers and merchants, has determined to make it still more sc, and when the work is completed as contemplated it will make ihe harbor all that is to be desired.

The dredge for this winter lays up at Montague, and the people of Montague have to thank their able represeotative in the Dominion House of Commens for it.

Montague is a live place, with many me- chanics, and any repairs required for the dredge can be done there in 4 workmanlike manner. It also has its hotels, which can amply accommodate those who have charge of the dredge during the winter. In- deed, too much praise cannot be aczorded to Mr. Macdonald, our Island representative, for the erergetic steps he has taken in this matter

Ths people of Mucray Harbor and Belfast are considerably exercised over the proposed transfer of the Intercolonial Railway to the Canadian Pacific Railway, which would nec essaiily include the P, E. Island Railway. The people in those sections have been almost discouraged of getting the railway accommo- dation to which they are entitled, and now their hopes have revived on hearing of the proposed tvansfer. If Belfast and Murray Harbor, as weli as Rustico and New London, will get the railway accommodation so much needed and to which they are entitled, they will not at all be sorry to hear of the proposed transfer.

The Island Railway, with its full comple. ment of branches, would surely be in a more

rosperous condition; and a strong company ike the C. P. R., which has done so much to deveiop trade, will, under these circum. stances, be hailed as a possessor of a line of railway which now seems to be neglected. A company which has placed a line of steamers from British Columbia to China, and which is now proposing to complete the circuit by a fast line of steamers from Montreal and Halifax to Great Britain and the West Indies, is surely worthy of the confid- ence of the people. Under these circum- stances, perhaps under these only, will the people of this province be p'eased to hear of the transfer.

The pecple of Murray Harbor and Rustico will, I am eure, be slow to receive the advice of Mr. L. H. Davies, who generally seems to jump at conclusions against the transfer of the 1. C. R. and Island Railway to the C. P. R. If that transfer means the equipment of the Island with branches and the building of a tunnel, as proposed, and if that honor. able gentleman will oppose the exchange under those circumstances, I am satisfied he is not acting in the interests of the people of this province,

Respecting resolution passed by the Medical Men of this city, re- questing the Druggists to dis- continue selecting medicines for their customers :—

S I have a legal right to select medicines for my customers, I shall continue as

heretofore to supply their wants to the best of my ability—with the best goods that money can buy, and my long experience in the busi- ness, (extending over twenty years, with four years spent in the study of medicine with a practising physician), I feel justified in asking for a continuance of your liberel patronage. The Apothecaries Hall is not run in the interest of any physician, directly or indirectly. You are not charged 25 or 30

x cent extra on prescriptions for the doctors’ benefit. Therefore, bring them to me and save money.

All prescriptions and family recipes shall receive my personal attention.

‘our obedient servant, Grokoe E. Hocues.
