The Suit Against Senecal.

Tux Government began tinir suit against Senecal for the restitution of the sums obtained by himon account of! plant

and supplies for the Printing Bureau, ab the earliest possible moment. Whatever the issue of the suit may be, it will have a wholesome effect. We hope that other suits will be instituted against other boud|-

ers.

A Good Suggestion —Adopted :

AcriING upon the suggestion of Tre Ex-

AMINER, the Government have, we learn, appointed Mr. George E. Robinson to the position in Prince of Wales College and Normal School heretufore occupied by Mr.

D. J. McLeod. This

appointment will

give satisfaction to the public and benett)

the educational interests of the Province. A better selection could not have been

made.

If the position be accepted by Mr. Rob- ingon, the office of Secretary for the Char-

Literary Notes.

The Scapegoat: by Hall Caine. A de- ‘lightful story, the charm of which will be ackuowledged by all who have the pleasure of reading it. It is a tale of Morocco, three generations ago. The story deals with the life of a young Jewish girl whose father is The Scapegoat. His daughter Naomi is born blind, and deaf, and dumb, and in miraculous ways her senses are re- stored to her as she grows up ta woman- hood. There are some very beautiful words ‘put into Naomi’s mouth by the author, when, after living so long in silence and | darkness, she at last wakes up to the beau- ‘ties of sight and hearing and speech. The novel deals strongly with the different iphases of life in Morocco, and it is @ |pleasure to us fro recommend it to our lreaders. For sale at the Diamond Book- istore; 50c.

it is probable that several cargoes will be shipped to ports in the United Kingdom

In Chicago, oats are quoted at from 27{ to 27%, and in New York at 343, whiie Mon- treal gives 31 cents for 34 puunds.

In respect to potatoes, there is absolutely no prospect in the Sraies. may, perhaps, find a market in the neigh boring provinces, where the crop of potatves is reported poor and the rot very bad. But farmers will do well to feed judiciously to their pigs and other stock.

+0 +e Notes and Comments.

—-Grover Cleveland gave the following excellent reply to a Brooklyn boy who asked his advice about accepting a political appointment : ‘* There are ne persons so torlurn and so much to be pitied as those who have learned in early Jife to look to public positions for a livelihood. It untiss # man cr boy for any other business, and is apt to make a kind of respectable vagrant of him.”

—A circular from the well-known bank- ing house of Henry Clews & Co, New York city, estimstes the totai exportable surplus of the United States grain crops to be (in bushels) a3 follows :

ESS EO ES HA lah 240 miilions a eae 365 ee oh ele ola oon 150 +s ME Cad spa cess Josette tes « ee ee rere re ec ¥"

A total exportable surplus of 779 mil- lion bushels! Yet, as the Moncton Times remarks, the grit papers ask Cauacian farmers to belicve that there is a benanza for them in getting access '> the markets of the United States, and at the -ame time, of course, giving them access to our markets !

—A marked result of the famine in Rus- Sia, aS was to be expected, is great stagna- tion of cuinmerce, which makes it ditliculc to obtain subsciiptious tothe relief tund.

Temperance Items.

Fifteen years ago 6,185 persons were licensed to sell liquor m the Province of Ontario, Last year the number was re- duced to 3,500, although the population had considerabiy increased in the mean- time. In fifteen years more if the temper- whee sentiment grows at the same rate the evi's of the traffic will be reduced to a min- imum. There never were so many ab- stainers on principle as there are at the present time. Less dependence on mere enactment and increased moral and reli- gieus power would soon make Ontario a highly temperance province.—Canada Pres- byterian.

Halif-x clergymen are making general plea wi h their congregations not to sign petitions for liquor licenses. No license can be granted in Halifax un'ess it is petitioaed for by three- fifths «f the ratepayers residing in the district for which the license is asked, so that where- ever the people are in earnest about the liqgnor bu-iwess they can enforce prohibition.

ir, Ez.a M. Hunt, sanitary editor of the New York Independent, says in a recent number of that journal: ** Outside all ques- tions of home and of morals, the physical ‘harm being done by bver is appalling. #ven | Germany has been compeiled to raise its voice agsinet it. Binz, who is an advocate for,alco- hol as an economic factor in sickness, ex press- es h’s profoind-¢ nviction of the tcrribie evil ic is istlicting om the health of the nation.”

Great SALE OF Hoxses.—According tox New York despatch, Chas. Reid, the proprietor of the Fairview stud, Gallatin, Tenn., electrified the 1,000 persons at Tat- tersall’s last Saturday night, when the last diaft of the late Hon. August Bel- mont’s thoroughbred racehorses were sold, by bidding $100,009 for the famous sire St. Blaise, son of Hermit and Fusee. ‘This is by a long way the highest price ever paid tur a thoroughbred stallion in a sale ring, aud Mr. Reid, who was determined to have the horse to head his etud, bid his ‘limit at the outset. It was the greatest sale of thoroughbred horses every held in any country. Records were made for the cli world to shoot at, and prices were paid that wil) cause the whcle universe to mar- vel. A yearling sold for $30,000, and several commanced $10,000; while the en- tire stud brought the enormous total of $597.300. This includes the atallions, briol mares, yearlings, weanlings, and two-year-olds aud racehorses in training sold at Babylon on Dec. 29 of last year.
