1890.

Tuts has been a quiet year. continued to reign throughout the world. There is comparatively little history to be written concerning it. Bat it does not follow that much has not been done or that great progress has not been made. When the occupants of a workshop or office are silent, the greatest amount of work is usually being done ; and when the teeming millions of the world are quiet and at peace there is usually development and progress On every hand.

Quiet as the year his been, it marked by several remarkable exchanges of remained

territory. Heligoland, which

a possession of the British Crown since it was wrested from the Danes in 1807) _was peaceably ceded to the Ger- min Empire. For this rock, the Goarmans bartered away to the British, a goodly stice of their territory

in Africa. Africa has, indeed, been the object of general solicitude on the part of the nations. Millions of square miles on the Dark Continent have been marked out as ‘spheres of influence” for Great Britain, Germany, France, Italy and Portugal. The latter country was very angry with England, and would at one time have gone to war with her if she had received any encouragement, or had only dared to do so. The return of Stanley the discoverer, and bis account cf the sufferings, trials and triumphs of his party awakened interest among all the nations. Subsequent reve- lations of atrocities alleged to have been committe? by the dead Bartelotte and Jameson have, however, filled the world with doubt and disgust and herror. Nor is there great comfort in the thought that a way has seen opened for the Christian mis- sionary and the civilized trader when we know that they are accompanied by King Alcohol.

The record of Russia has been blackened by the wholesale expulsion of the Jews. But the Sastern Question has not been agi- tated. ‘Vhile Bulgaria and Hertzegovinia and other little kingdoms and principalities are permitted to rest, the Czarewitch— with the approbation of the British Cov- ernment and under the smile of the Em- press —making a quiet observation of India.

Early in the year the Emperor William dismissed the Man of Blood and Iron, for

many years the arbiter of Europe. Punch.

portrayed the old pilot descending the side of the ship of state,—andthe world wondered what would happen next ‘The event has proved that Bismarck was not a necessity. The ship has proceeded quietly on its way. It is becoming more and more apparent that another master-hand—thougha younger and lees experienced hand —is at the wheel. The Emperor himself, assisted by General Caprivi, bas already avoided several danger- ous rocks. Attempts have been made, not without indications of success, to direct and control the socialistic tendencies of the German people; and efforts have been made’ in a quiet way, to procure a partial disarmament of the soldiery of Europe. English capitalists invested large amounts of money in America. They seemed to care very little whether they obtained a railway, a cotton millora whiskey still, so long as it afforded an opportunity to lighten their too heavy purses. At one time, indeed, there appeared to be no limit to the financial ability of English syndicates. But some of the capitalists were a little too rash. Baring Brothers escaped absolute and irretrievable ruin only by reason of the help afforded by the Bank of England, the Bank of France and other monetary insti- tutions of lesser note. There has recently, as a consequence, been considerable stringency in the money markets. Several banks and large mercantile firms have failed. Money is up, and will probably remain up for some time to come. Labor troubles con- tinue to distract the attention of both capitalists and laborers. There have been great strikes and lockouts, and combines and contentions between employer and employee ; and these have been common alike to Free Trade England and to the Protected States. The politicians of Great Britain have been much disturbed by Mr Parnell. Parnell’s signal triumph over the Times was followed by the developments in O'Shea vs. O'Shea and the unhervie efforts of a convicted adulterer to retain the leadership of the Irish Party. These have disgusted the nation. \ It is, indeed, greatly to be feared that Ireland's epportunity has been lost result of Parnell’s guilty in-

trigue and mad persistency. The Tories are striving to prevent tho Nationalists from uniting under Justin McCarthy or some other Leader. That is their ‘* play.” Parnell and his remaining supporters are playing” into their hands. Unless they cease to do this, the Tories will, without a doubt, and in spite of all that Gladstone may say or do, have the Governwent again,

a]

and settle the Irish difticulcy accord- ing to their policy. It is possible that his disastrous defeat in MNKiikenny

may convince Mr. Parnell that he has lost his holdupon the Lrish Nation, that hisefforts must be in vain, and that he had better throw up the sponge at once. Laut, judged by all his actions since the denowement, we fear that he is neicher wise enough nor patriotic enough to do so. In any case, Salisbury and Balfour may be trusted to make the best of the situation. They have adopted very practical measures to relieve the distress that exists in Ireland, and are evidently doing their best to obtain the good will of the Irish people without losing the support of the Liberal Unionists. Diplomatic sparring about the Behring Sea difficulty has occupied much of the time of the British Prime Minister aud the United States’ Secretary of State. The rights of the case were, admittedly, with the former ; and he has certainly appeared to the best advantage. His offer of arbitra- tion has been declined, and the question remains open.- But it is not likely that Mr. Blaine will, after the lesson he has

received, dare again to authorize the seizure of British ships engaged in sealing on the open sea. Mr. Blaine

seems, indeed, tv have dene his best to make true prophets of these who depre- cated his return to office on the ground of

his hostility to British interests. His omission of Canada from the list of American countries invited to send repre-

sentatives tothe Pan-American Congress was a deliberate slight. The passage of the McKinley Bill was, however, the most notable effort of the Congress and Govern- ment of the great Republic. It was en-

titled an act to reduce the revenue, and by

it the duties levied upon almost all kinds of foreign imports were increased. It proved, for the United States’ people, ‘too much

of a good thing” They prospered under a

protective policy; and they are favor- able to a continuance of Protection. But they will not long endure the enormities of the McKinley Bill—i.e,if we may judge by the result of the elections of November last.

Canada has maintained the even tenor of her way, and will probably do so as long as Sir John McDonald remains at the head of the Government. Should she do so, she will be in a positi on to obtain all the ad- vantages which will result from the ap- proaching tariff change in the States, and not be compelled to give up anything that she may consider valuable to her people. Oa the other hand, should she adopt the policy of Unrestricted Reciprocity, she will be at the tender mercies of the politicians of the States who will, without doubt, ar- range the matter to their own sacefaction.

The resources of Canada in gold and silver, iron and nickle, copper and coal have been the subject of investigation by leading British mineralogists and capitalists, and have been pronounced enormous. A num- ber of representative British agriculturists also visited this country to see the land and report upon it. Negotiations have been successfully conducted to the end that Canada may have fast lines of steamers trading directly with Great Britaiu and Europe on the one hand and with Japan and China, and New Zealand and Australia on the other. Sothat she will probably ere long be that which nature evidently in- tended her to be—the principal highway for travel and trade between the Occident and the Orient.

As a whole, thezcrop of Canada in 1890 was a good one. In this Province there was a partial failure of the crop of oats, which will make times hard fur those who are in debt. There was also a shortage of hay and straw which has necessitated the slaughter of many cattle and sheep and the sale of many horses at low prices. But the crops of wheat and potatoes were good, though somewhat damaged by autumn and fall rains. Of other things there is no lack. Prices of farm produce were up to the average of other years, notwithstanding the McKinley Tariff. Altogether, we may thank God and take courage. Between storms, Official mismanagement and gov- ernmental niggardliness, we have recently, it is tene, been made to feel our isolated position, But in the prospect cf a mail this evening, and letters a fortnight old, we heartily wish the readers of THE Ex-

How to Vote.

In another column we publish some plain directions to the electors as to the manner of voting at the coming*election. It will be observed that the form of ballot to be used on the 8th Janutry is entirely different from the form heretofore used, and that now the electors are simply asked to vute either for or against the Act. The ballo: is now so plain that no person should be liable to make any mistake, the only ques- tion being in which of the spaces to put the X. We notice that both the Patriot and the (Guardian have a different form of bal- lot in their columns ; but the electors of Charlottetown should not be deceived by

these newspapers, There is no doubt that tho form given by Tur Examiner is the correct one. Those clectors who follow the directions printed in our issue of to- day will find them correct. The form given by the Patriot and the Guardian is the form now used to bring in the Act for the first time ; but it is not used ona repeal
