Iman, a rise

Notes of the Week. —~The Parnellites be gaining grouod daily. of Wexford was opened up by the re- | signation of its represeatative, Mr. | Healy. The Liberal candidate, besides | suffering the indignity of having polled | only three votes, while his opponent, | Redmond, a disciple of Parnell, received | $307, had to submit to a hooting and pelting by the mob, A riot, of course, ensued, and many police were seriously injured.

—The outlook for the masses in Russia seems to be a little more hopeful. The Emperor appears desirous to give his attention particularly to internal aifairs and to improve the condition of the people under his charge. Though a constitution is not yet to be granied, every effort will be made to promote harmony between the nobles and the peo- ple, and the education of the peasantry will be encouraged with the ultimate object of granting self-government. The Czar is determined to crush out Nihilism if possible, and by placing himself in the hands ot his people and doing all in his power to promote their welfare, to secure tor himself a peaceful reign.

—The crop prospect in Great Britain, as well as in Canada and elsewhere, are exceedingly good. The London Free Press expresses the opinion that the heavy raios of last month have done ‘little or no damage to them. With the exception of cora, which is a lutle back- ward, the crops ou the ground are ina magnificent condition. The siraw is strong, and the heading of the fall wheat large and handsome. The hay crop

will, be undcabtedly, larger than ever)

before, and taken altogether the prospects for the farmer during the presgat year will have a capital effect upSn tiade. To this Province the rain of Friday was avery great boon ; and unless some wou- sual disaster occurs in the meantime, our farmers will, reap ap. abundattt harvest. £ &

of Mr.

—Through the good Wie: Brecken, a survey of the pr nosed rail- way route between Cape Traverse and North Wiltshire has beeu ordered. This is right. et the engineer survey, com- pare, and. € a respect to all the different. rots ithe decision of the Dominion Goverament the Province will then, wedee! sure, cheerfully acquiesce, though we cannot, of course, expect that every section will be equally well pleased. What the bargain requires is continuous commutication winter aad summer. By what means and over what route the comimanication Shall be carried on is a q aestion for the Government of Canada ; aud we feel sure that, with due regard to the interests of thé whole country, that route will be selected which will best promote the interests of this Province.

—The difficulties of the British Gov- ernment are oa the increise. An ar- rangement with DeLesseps, under which the latter is guaranteed a right of way and a loan of £8,000,000 for a second Suez Canal, is strongly opposed by in- fluential English capitalists and poli- ticians. Is is admitted that the second canal is wanted; but John Ball is very jealous of DeLesseps and the French ; and it seems doubtful that the arrange- ment will be sustained by public opinion. Then the cholera in Egypt naturally causes anxiety ; and the belligerent atti- tude assumed by the French Admiral in Madagascar is still unexplained. Neither the Eaglish nor the French nations desire war; but the governments of both are weak. No doubt the root of the trouble lies in this fact. It the prestige of Eng- land were as high under Gladstone as it was under Disraeli—or if Jules Ferry had the strength to hold his officers well in hand, Admiral Pierre would not have dared to act as he has done,

—Speculation is now the order of the day in the United States, as to who will next fill the Presidential Chair. Though it will be a year before the elections are held, certain prominent men on both sides have already beeu named as the probable candidates. For the Democrats, Tilden is regarded as having no chauce, but would likely ac- cept the nomination if tendered to him. The choice at present seems to lie between Holmes, McDonald and Hendricks, Me- Donald being considered the strongest man. The able administration of Presi- dent Arthur, during the past two years, makes his claim ou the Republican party a good one. Indeed it is said that there is | no other man for candidate to take the field in the interests of the Republicans. Presideut Arthur has shown by his at- tention to public affairs, that he is well fitted to occupy such an important and dis- tinguished position. It is thought, how- ever, that no matter how strong a man is brought out by the Republicans, they will suffer a severe defeat at the forth- coming elections,

~—There can no longer be any doubt as to the superiority of Hanlan over Ross as an oarsman. The question was prac- tically decided on Wednesday list by the defeat of the latter. Though Hanlan was the geueral favorite, still Ross had | many frieads who had great confideuce | 10 the ability of their man to defeat the | great champion, or if net to defeat him, | at Jeast to push him close tothe end. | This coufidence was engendered by the seeming disinclination of Hanlan to meet | Ross, aud. increased by his continued | efforis to throw obstacles in the way of a test race. When the news came that

. .

Hanlan had objected to Courtuey stand- ing as Ross’ referee, it was considered by the enthusiastic, though now sadly disappointed, backers of the St. John merely to avoid a contest. Kveryone knows the result. Ross was beaten just as easily, and perhaps more so, than Kennedy and the score of others against whom Hanlan has rowed. Like the great Shakspeare of the drama, he tands alone as an Oarsman, head and shoulders above his followers.

.

—It is noted asa fact which should bring confusion upon the Grits, that the volume of trade between Great Britain and Canada has steadily increased under the operation of the Natioval Policy. The Trade Returns show that in the five months ending Slst May last past, we imported from Great Britain goods to the value of £2,425,300 against £2,417,- 000 in 1882. In some lines, as for in- stance, hardware, vig iron, bar iron, sheet iron, stationery, sugar, worsted fabrics and cottons, there has been a falling off. This shows that of these goods, the productions of Canada are taking the market. ‘The value of cotton goods imported during the five months was £470,000; Canadian cotton mills are evidently not yet over-producing. Ou the other hand, there has been a large increase in the importation of fine cloths, silks, carpets, ete, showing that the wealth of the people—their ability to purchase—is greater than it was ; or per- haps, encouraged by their prosperity and their good prospects, they are purchasing morethan they should. As for the ex- ports, they were, in the five months re- ferred to, a million dollars in excess of those of the same period of 1882. We are pleased to note a ‘large increase in the export of the products of our mines.

—A correspondent deals effectually with a statement of the Herald which Tne Examiner overlooked. We have been very careful not to press the facts involved in the discussion raised by the Herald further than was necessary to meet successfully the Jerald’s statements; for we think the whole dis- qussion out of place and irregular. So far as the present Government is concerned there ismo evidence.»whatever —direct or indirecte-in support’ of the charge that Catholics are excluded from office on account of their religion; and this being so, it was wrong to call in, question at all the religiou of the officials, who have been appointed. So that they be Christians, we (the public of this Chris- tian country) have no more to do with the media through which their spiritual lives are sustained than with the particular kind of food they eat and the particular kind of clothing they wear to nourish and protect their matural bodies, Itdas somewhat eurprising that, having»raised the question, the Herald took no pains to draw a distinction between the ap- nointments made by the McKenzie ad- ministration and those made by the Liberal Conservatives. We are indebt- ed to the Patriot for the opportunity of demonstrating that, whether by accident or design, a much larger uumber of Catholics were appointed by the latter than by the former, and that on this, as well as on higher grounds, the support and allegiance of the Catholics (as of all good citizens) is due to the Liberal-Con- servative Party. It is to be hoped that this question has been finally disposed of. Let it not be again brought forward.

Yhe Question of Patronage. Srr,— According to the Herald, Catholics are pot receiving fairplay from the present Dominion Government in the matter of patronage in connection with our Island Railway. I wiil only, at present, refer to the traftic department. The chief clerk in the Superintendent's office is a Catholic. So also is the yard master. Previous to the general election of 1878 there were only tivo Catholic S‘ation Agents in Prince County. Here is how the matter stands now:

The Governor-General’s Medals.

Sir,—It is now some time since the examinations and distribution of prizes took place in our City Schools, and in this connection some matters, which should have been explained through the medium ef thepress, appear to have been entirely disregarded. 1 refer to the Governor- General's medals which His Excellency in- temcel to be presented to the scholars haying the highest number of marks for general proficiency, but which, in the West

ent Street School, seems to have mis- carried in the most mysterious manner. It was never intended that those medals should be awarded to genial countenances, winning appearances, or to teachers favor- ites, but to those who, by perseverance and diligent study, should fairly earn their laurels. Why was this fact lost sight of in the West Kent Street School, and the Sehool Boards certificate for general pro- ficiency given to one scholar, while the Governor-General’s medal for general pro- ficiency was awarded to another ?

This beautiful example of favoritism, I am informed, was also exhibited in one of the junicr departments, and the prize for grammar awarded to one having actually twelve marks less than another competitor. The practice of giving prizes, even when fairly carried out, does not meet with gen- eral approval. If we could experience the feelings of those who, after laboring against ill-health, bad memory, and other obsta- cles, are obliged te enter upon their vaca- tion without a mark of honor—-a word of sympathy or encouragement; or, if we could stand quietly by the bedside and listen to the fretful child, sobbing itself to sleep on the evening of examination, we would not wonder at the reports we hear from abroad—that tragedy is a frequent mark of protest against this practice—and if the west Kent Street School is to be the criterion by which we must judge, I say by all means abandon the system.

Yours respectfully, SPECTATOR,

Reform at Mount Stewart.

Srr,—A number of the most influential inhabitants of Mount Stewart have formed themselves into a Society for the purpose of having the Scott Act enforced in the villiage. The ‘‘ Reform Association,” as it is named, being composed of both moderate- drinkers and total abstainers, is a_ tho- roughly representative one, and judging by the vigor displayed by its members, bids fair to be successful.

The principal offender was summoned to day before James Ross, J. P., and will no doubt be convicted.

We wish the Association all possible success in their difficult undertaking, and trust that when the liquor sellers see gentle- men, who have hitherto oppused or taken part in the temperance mover ent, striving to suppress the great evi!, they will honorably bow to public opinion and try some other way of making a livelibood.

Victory for the Scott Act.

Str,—At the time the Scott Act was put in ferce in this city, there were then sixty licened taverns in existance, and the city was in a terrible state of dissipation and crime, but the moment that the S. A. came in force a reformation took place, and to-day there is not a sign of drunkeness, nor parties selling liquor. Out of the forty places visited by our City official, Marshall Flynn, not one single place could there be found any liquor, all have disappeared, and you will see by his report to the Magistrate of the 18th inst., that every place proved satisfactory. Now all we have to do is to keep the Act in force, and drunkeness is no more, Yours,

Hapetness.
