ANOTHER TRIUMPH.

Vierory has again perched upon the Couservative banner. A stiff contest in Middlesex, Ontsrie, yesterday, in which the influence of both Federal and Provin- cial Governments was thrown upon the Liberal side, resulied in the election of Mr. Robson, the Conservative candidate, by a hundred majority. It is becoming more and more evident that the Coneerva- tives will seore a great vietory in the next genera] electiong

FRUIT AND POULTKY MOVEMENTS.

Proyessor Gitsert Feld a large meet- ing at Ste Peter’s Bay last evening, and ended a series of fourteen highly suecess- ful lectures on behalf of the poultry inter- est in thia Province. His addresses were at once spirited and practical, fixing the attention of hie hearers and affording jus; that kind of informstion and instruction

needed by the people in the improvement ° of their poultry, We anticipate a coneid-

erable development of our wealth in

poultry as a result of Mr. Gilbert’s timely

and able addresses.

Accompanying him were Mr. Walter

Simpeen, the President ot the Farmers’

and Dairymen’s Aesociation, and Mr. J’

S. Clark, the latter of whom spoke, and

speke well, on tbe subject of fruit trees

and how to improve our orchards.

A great dea) of interest and enthusiasm

have been e«tirred up here by Professor

Gilbert and those wke accompanied him,

and we look for the results in increased

quantities of improved hen fruit and ether

fruit.

BRITISH EMPIRE.

A short time »go,Mr. Geoffrey Darge,M. P., for Derby’ addressing a meeting of his constituents on the subjeet of the South African war, reviewing clearly the events leading up tothe etruggle and holding that the war had been forced by causes beyond the control of the present British government, and was on the Britieh part = war for justice liberty. Ie closing he remarked upon the the co-operation of the colonies and and said:

“In the same connection there are one or two great ideals I would submit to you. You may, I think, live tome them realized,

‘When we have get over this war suc- cessfully—and, God willing, we shall do so —yeou willbaveto bear in mind what every great stateeman cut there has eet forth as a eolutien of the troubles in South Africa, and that ie the federation of all the States under the EKnglieh Crown, just ae it has» been done in Australia and in Canada:

“There is one mere great ideal which I submit toyou, and! believe iis one which we shall see realized. You bave heard in times past a great deal about Imperial federation in our colonier, but I have never before seen how it was to be realized. If, however, yen electors in thie country will take an interest in it, you have the means of assuring Imperial fed~ eration, All your great self-governing colonies, fer the firet time in history, bave together sent soldiers to your help. Io the final settlement those colonies have got to be together consulted—can’t you see the opening for Imperial federation ?

NOTES AND CUMMENTS.

—The stoppage of the system of paying commistions to passenger agents, it is calculated, will save the United States railways from $3,000,000 to $6,000 0004 year.

—Commentiog upon the recent develop- mente at Winnipeg the St. John Sun saye: “The affair has probably condemned Mr. Greenway to a less of the provineia! leadership, and has perhaps deprived bim of his chance of obtaining aseatin the Senate. There ic a Jimit beyond which the government at Ottawa wil] not venture to go in offeuding the wert, and a reward to Mr. Greenway, under the present cir- cumstances, would perhaps betaken as a crossing of the line.

— Our readers will joia with us in deep regret on learning ef the death, this mornieg, of Miss Elizabeth Essery, of thiecity. Her heal:h had been very deli-~ cate for several months past. The de- ceased lady was the eldest daughter of the late Thomas Essery,@eq. contractor, of this city. She had a very large circle of friends by whom she was much beloved, and who will deeply mies her kind, theught- ful and helpful spirit. Two sisters, the Misses Sarah and Mary Essery remain to mourn their loss,

~ From a published letter of Private Stephens, let Gloucesiers, we quote the following: “Youcan judge what it is like—the worst war the world has ever witneesed. It is mot only the Boere, but as many Of Our own countrymen and desert- ers out of our own army, German gunners, German, French and Kussian officers, we are fighting. Weare fighting the whole world. The place General Buller had to

attack was asecond Gibraltar, and he wasn’t as strong asthe enemy.” This

| seems to be tae truth of the matter.

—The Monetary Times refers to th~ gratifying fact that “the receipts of th civic goverement of Charlettetown durin

| the past year exceeded the expenditures b

will be confronted when the war ie over 7? | $4,000, and saye:

It 18 an idea—you may think it 1s a dream | —but it is the first practieal proposal which wus ever been made in connection | with Imperial federation.”

It is evidently not improbable—if the Rritish can only obtain a general to lead the troops to decisive victory—that one of the results of the great struggle now in progress will be the closer union snd co- operative of the Mother Country with the auxiliary nations composing Rha!

“It used to be a reproach to Charlotte- town tbat the city bad no drainage system, and that as aconsequence it was expesed te serious mortality in the direction of typhoid and diphtheria. But the author- ities were wise enough toadopt a sewerage system, and now we learn that no lees than ten miles of sewera were laid durisg the vear, and that a large number of buildings are already connected with the system.”

citadel of Namur by William II1.’s army in 1695, Lord Macaulay writes :--

“The judgment of all the great warr'ors | whom the nations ef Westera Europe bad |eentto tothe confluence of the Sambre and the Mauee, was that the English enb sltern was inferior to no eubaltern and the Boglish private soldier to ne private sold dier in Christendom. The English ¢ ficers of higher rank were thought hard- ly worthy tocommasd euch aa «rmy. Cutte, indeed, had diminguished himeelf by bis intrepidity But those who mest almired him acknowledged that he had neither the capacity por the ecience nece 8 ary toa general.”

—The Montreal Gazette remarks that the detachment ef Canadian mounted troops which Jeft Halifax on Saturday, the third to go to South Africa since the wer began, is by all acconnts as fine a body of men as ever followed the colors intothe field. Physically they are near perfection ; in evident capacity for their work, they are fit for whatever comes to them. And this is the opinion of men who have seen many corps under many varying eonditions, They will be a credit to the eountry that sende them out on @ perilous mission, with hope for them strong above apy anxiety that may pre- vail.

Toronto Globe: It can certainly rot be said that Canada is a fair~weather friend of Great Britain. Wherever there is & reverse or a disappointment of any kiod in the war news the Imperial feeling rises higher.
