1884.

Tue limited space at our disposal will not permit us to do more than refer very briefly to what bas taken place during the past year in the more distant parts of the world; but we will try and touch upon a few of the mere important | matters, as a chronicler rather than a) critic.

Undoubtedly the Egyptian question has been the one which in England has | attracted most attention during the year, | aud while England has been the chief actor in that scene, the other Powers | have been more than intersted spectators. | The Gladstone Administretion, fighting | against fate, has tried to persuade itself | that the work could be quickly done and | that the British could soon leave the country, aud consequently lost much time and wasted much money in half) measures which, proving inettectual, | they had to undertake at last what could Lave been much better done earlier. | The chiet events in Egypt have been | Gordon’s mission to Khartoum to get the

Egyptian garrisons and the English residents safeiy ;out of the disturbed districts, his arrival there, hearty

reception by the inhabitants, and first suc Then, the Mahdi with his troops closes around him, and for some weeks euts off all his communication with Lower Egypt. About midsummer it became apparent that an expedition must be sent to his relief, and soon Wolseley was despatched with a considerable force, io which are in- eluded the Cavadian voyageurs. This force has been struggling up the cataracts until it has reached Korti, where, just above the fourth cataract, the Nile makes its great bend to the north. From this point it seems that Wolseley will make or is making a dash across the desert to Khartoum, thus not only shortening the distance, but avoiding the most difficult part of the Nile navigation. If this expedition is successful, we may hope s.on to hear of the relief of Khartoum. The battles and hard-won victories of Graham at and near Suakim, find their place in the earlier part of the year, but the indecision and vacillation of the home authorities have gone far to neutralize the effects of the courage of the army, and the eud of the year fiuds Osman Digma still threatening the Red Sea littoral. A European Conference as- sembled in London about July, at the iuvitation of the English Goverument, to discuss the financial affairs of Egypt, wut, to the great relief of the ’ Lord Granville at last—warued, no doubt, by the increasing distrust and restless- ness of the nation, displayed an unex- pected firmuess,—and, by a decisive veto of the Frevech demands, freed the admin- istration from the daugerous necessity of asking Parliament to confirm what they had pledged themselves to recommend in the case of an understanding on the finance question beiog reached. Lord North- brooke’s mission, with orders to report on the whole political aud financial con- dition of the country, was the next move; aud asthe Jast news is that the courts have pronounced illegal the action of the officers whe, iu accordance with the sug- gestions of Eugland, diverted payments from the Sinking Fund to the immediate needs of the Treasury, it may fairly be said that the financial and political mud dle cquals the military one.

cesses.

country.

Northern Africa is not the only por- tion of the Dark Continent which attracts the attention of Europe; but there are some brighter spots in the South. The Berlin Conference, under the presidency of Bismarck, has dove good work in bringing abont an inter- national agreement, by which the trade aud vavigation of the Lower Congo are opeued to all countries upon equal terms, the district itself being declared to be under ioternational protection. Eng- land, true to her free trade principles, nas willingly extended to the Niger, the same commercial freedom, though re- taining the protection of the country in her own hauds. The Boer difficulty does not seem yet to be over, and it looks as though the Gladstone capitula- tion has turned out as badly as most of his foreign policy.

if weturn from Africa to Asia, we still take with us European iuterests and interferences. In May, a treaty between France and China was signed, and the former country was congratulating it- self upon having speedily and without much expense, secured great advantages. But the ead of the year, shows that those hopes were vain, aud leaves France with the treaty broken, the war still on her hauds, and with the uupleasant certainty that notwithstanding some success gain- ed by the fleet and army, much mouey and not a few lives must be spent before Chiva will yield,while the thrifty French people are beginning augrily to ask, what, atthe last, they will get for all the mouey speut

Russia bas made a further advance in Asia by the annexation of Merv and some of the surrounding country, but her iair promises have again soothed the breasts of her almirers in ihe English

be a surprise. Germany strong, self- contained, vigorous, and firm to repel dangers trom without,or repress disorders ‘within, unquestionably the strongest Power in Europe, yet using her strength with moderation and justice. France stil disturbed and restless, tinkering at her constitution, frittering away strength aud money ou aggressive wars against the Chinese aud Malagays, by which the distress avd poverty at home are in creased, and now while work is slack, wages low, and the poor find the struggle for existence harder than ever, the wise meu of the Republic hit upon a tax on corn and flour, as the best measuie of making matters better. Verily the world is governed with but little wisdom.

Italy, in home politics, is progressing steadily in the way in which she has set herself to go. In the complications of foreign politics she has geverally thrown in her influence with England.

Spain has not been wholly undis-

'tuibed, and there are disquieting rumors

about the health of King Alfonso ; but, compared with the past, Spain has had a quiet and prosperous year.

In English home affairs, the lranchise and Redistribntion Bills were burning questions at the beginning of the year ; but the end of the year fiods them both quietly and amicably settled by that practical common sense which is so dis- tinguishing a characteristic of English public men. Jn fact, all along, it seemed difficult to see that there was any very serious agitation at all. Whev popula- tion is so close, and interest in public affairs so active as in England, it is uever hard for clever managers, with the aid of oue or two good speakers, to get up euthusiastic meetings, or even monster demonstrations; but in the absence of uny real grievance pressiug upon apy portion of the people, such displays do not mean much. The exclusion from the polls of a large number of the rural population.was @ real grievance, but as both parties had fully committed them- selves to the principle tbat this grievance should be removed, there was no op- portunity to bring about a political crisis in this question. The dispute between the Lords and Commons,really amount- ed to uothing more than a struggle between the two parties as to who should have ths gerrymauderivg of the new constituencies, and it bas been quieily settled at last by a private conference of the leaders of both sides, and a compro- mise in which the Conservatives have managed to have mo’e to say than usual- ly falls to the lot of the minority. So the Franchise Bill has passed and the Redistribution Bill been introduced, and Lords aud Commous have separated with bows and smiles. The agitators must surely feel “sold” after all the tierce things they have said, while the people laugh and are quite ready to demenstrate good humoredly again,wh: never they are called upou—as they enjoy it and nobody is hurt.

The Irish dynamite faction has shown the same combination of cowardice, wickedness and stupidity, which has been their characteristic all slong. They are cowardly aud wicked enough to hide dynamite in railway stations aud at bridges, where, if their designs succeeded it would bring tortures and lingering death to scores of helpless innocent sufferers. Happily their stupidity has caused their attempts generaily to fail.

The Skye Crofters have raised an agra- rian agita ion also; and they have made out so good a case for themselves that, no doubt, their just demands will be grant- ed. It is to be regretted that they have not abstained from violence, particularly as the sympathy of the country was fully with them. But, notwithstandisg some threats aud acts of violence, their conduct is in marked contrast with what has taken place in Ireland, and it must be satisfactory to Scotchmen to see that cattle maiming and cold blooded murder- ing of helpless families are not thought legitimate modes of agitation by their distressed countrymen.

The United States have seen a Demo- cratic President elected,—the first for twenty-five years. ‘The events of that election are too recent to need to be re- called ; suffice it to say, that while the conduct of the election was not such as to recommend to other couctries that mode of obtaining a chief ruler, the con- duct of the defeated party in quietly accepting the situation after a few days of strained excitement was above praise, and goes far to show how secondary a question the form of government is to a people who understand and possess the essential of liberty, and have sufficient self command to bear defeat quietly or

to exercise power moderately. The commercis] situation in the United States is very far from good. The out-

going President has been trying to extend in many directions the trade relations of the country, aud the triumph of the Democratic party in November gives hopes of the adoption geverally of a more liberal and enlightened trade policy.

Comiog to our own Dominion we see vot mavy events of strikiug importance, and the history of the year is credited rather with the continuance of what had been beguu before, than with the origina- tioa of anything new. ‘The last session of Parliament will be known in the

cabioet, and a joiut commission of Rus- sian aud English officers are settling the, - !

future as the session of Railway Grants. The persistent opposition of the Grand

faith inthe future of the country, was ample for all the money they needed. Under these circumstances. the Govern- ment wiscly stepped in and advanced the money necessary for the completion of the read, avd in so doing they were able not only to obtain full security, but also to arrange for the earlier completion of the read, and, more important still, to aunounce that they would not continue the policy of preventing the construction of competing roads in Manitoba, a policy adopted by themselves and their prede- cessors alike. Parliament, finding itself in a railway mood, di@ not stop here, but became all at once conscious of the veneral importance of various roads up to that time supposed to be merely of Provincial utility, and so some oi the more favored protinces found — their measure bountifully replenished from the Dominion chest. ‘This sent mest of the members back h«ppy to their constituen- cies; and when Mr. Blake introduced a resolution protesting against such doing, he had the satisfaction of seeing a pum- ber of his own followers slip away from him and dauce to the whistling of the Premier. It is said by those who witnessed the scene, that the Leader of ‘he Opposition looked at that time even less genial than usual.

There have been further discoveries of coal in the Northwest, and the past year hasadded to the growth of that rapidly developing country.

The visit of Sir John Macdonald to England, gave rise to many surmises; but he is back, and life is going on as usual. The honor conferred upon him by his Sovereign has been well earned, and few even of his political oppovents will be otherwise than gratified by the Premier ot Canada having received this distinction. While in Evugland, Sir Joho was able to take part iu the discussions on Imperial Federation, a question which is rapidly becoming a practical ove. While in no way committing him- self on the question, Sir John was able to bear witness to the constant desire for British connection which prevails in Canada, and wil! prevail so long as there is no interference with the treedom of our Home Rule. But the course of events sets more aud more towards our assuming au independent position, and unless some means ere devised by which we can take our place in an Imperial Federation as an equal among equals we shall probably drop away trom any but the merest nomisal connection with the Old Country The proposed uniou with Jamaica may probably come in some form before Parliament at its next session. <A political union may be diffi- cult, perhaps impossible, to bring about ; but it is much to be hoped that this dis- cussion will lead at once to some closer commercial union with our sister colonies to the South. There cannot be any objec- tion to free trade with the sugar islands.

After eleven years of Confederation, we are someWhat in a position to take stock of our Provincial advantages aud dis- advantages,—there are both. But we may hope that the disadvantages are of ‘uch a nature that time may bring ils remedies, though slow ones—while the advantages may increase. It is much to be regretted that when in its generous mood, Parliament could vot discover that the railroad from Sackville to Cape Tormentine was of a Federal importance. But it did not see this ; and a weak Com- pany with a Provincial subsidy is pot- tering over the work. The Cape Traverse branch is finished; but until the other road, with its wharf and break- water, is built, to expect much improve- ments in our winter service is as hopeless as to expect a man to walk well with one stilt.

The fire last February swept away the South Side of Queen Square, and took the Post Office also. Private enterprise have already covered the burnt district with handsome buildings of brick and stone ; but except a wood fence nothing has; been erected on the Square. Perhaps, as there was a good deal of iudifference shown about saving the old building, and a good deal of satisfaction expressed at the amount of money that we should get when the new one was beivg built, the Government wish to teach us, by three or four years’ inconvenience, that we should do well in the future to exert ourselves x little to save even a Govern- ment buildiug—and it would not be easy to deny that the lesson was wholly un- deserved.

The Exhibition held in Chariottetown last fall, showed that there is an improve- meut still goiug on in our stock-raising and farming. But it must be remem- bered that such an exhibition shows the best—not the average; avd a diive through the country proves that there is much, very much, still to be done before we make use, as a Province, of our great vatural capabilities as a farming and stock-raising country. The forma- tiou of the Dairyman’s Association was a good move, aud we are very glad to see Furmer~’ Clubs springing up in different parts of our country.

On the whole, we have had a fairly successful year, but there are causes enough for carefulness. Real estate con- tinues low; bauk stock is greatly depre- ciated; what little capital there is in the country with difficulty finds remunerative employmnet-—and, as a consequence, business is inelastic, though by wo means in the bad state it was six or seven years ago. We shonrld be glad to think that the coming year will show an improvement ib this respect.

We bave bad a fair share of elections

durivg the past twelve months. The

lind’s retirement from the Lieutenant Governorship, a position in which his 1 ng political experience has evabled hm to be emivently useful te his ad- visers, while his kuowledge of constitu- tional law prevented him from in the least transgressing constitutional limits. The appointment of Mr. Macdonald as his suecessor was a decidedly popular one; and that gevtlemam is not disap~ pointing the high expectations that were formed of the way in which he would fulfil the duties of his new position. These changes gave an opportunity to the Government to recognize Mr. Brecken’s well-founded claims to consideration from his party, and although Mr. Macdonald's able mavagement of the Post Office gave his successor a high standard to reach, Mr. Brecken comes well up to the mark. Mr. Brecken’s «appointment opened Queeu’s County, which returned Dr. Jen- kins,and so proved itselt well pleased with present Oitawa administration, not with- standing its occasional neglects, Prince County re-aflirmed its adoption of the Scott Act by an immense majority, and Charlottetown by a close vote, after a sharp contest, did the same. In city affairs, we had vo election in January, the Mayor and five Councillors being elected by acclamation, and when, by the lamented death of Mr, Murphy, Ward Two was opened, there was no Opposition to Mr. Kelly. Probably there is no city inthe world which is so easily able to get civic rulers who are so fully and completely in accord with its citizens.

Among those, whom death has removed in the year, are Theophilus DesBrisay, of Spriog Park, William Murphy, Manager of the Gas Works, John Dorsey, the head of the Charlotte- town Boot and Shoe Manufacturing Company, Ernest Welsh, a young and active clergyman of the Church of Eng- land, Joho Jury, av old and respected citizen, Thomas Ives, a prominent resident of Tryon, aud the Rev. L. C. Jevkins, D. C. L., a venerable and much esteemed Priest and citizen.

Fisheries of P. E. Island.

Tue closing year has been a poor one for the fisheries. The value taken from the sea is estimated at $186,468 less than last year. This deficiency ranges over all the fisheries, excepting lobsters, which, contrary to expectation, have turned out nearly 500,000 cans more than last year. We are indebted to Mr. Lydiard, Cus- toms broker, for the following statement of the export of cauned lobsters :—

being about 7,000 cases more than in the same period of 1883. We believe the records of the Fishery oilicers show nearly 800,000 more, part of which has probably been exported since the above account wes made up. The ten days’ extension of fishing time was not of much general benefit. Ninety-tive fac- tories were io operation.

The mest gerious falling off is in mackerel, no more than 16,866 barrels having been taken this year, as against 28,170 last year, being 11,304 barrels short. The fish were late in coming in, until the middle of August there being no great body of fish in the Bay. Most of those taken by our people were by seine, the hook-ind-liners having made but a poor show. Indeed the time seems to have fully come to lay aside dependence on the hook, and do the great bulk of the fishing by seine. Thirteen seines were owned and used in the Pro- vince last year,—this year thirty-eight, which is a marked improvement in the right direction. ‘There is no accurate account of how many American vessels in all were iv the Gulf, but 180 passed the Straits of Canso on their way in, besides those that came north about. They complain loudly that their fishery was a failure, but they took away 26,800 barrels of mackerel, being 10,000 barrels more thav the total catch made by our own people. Some sixty sail of the foreign fleet lett, about the middle of August, for home with little or nothing. Bad weather prevailed almost the whole season.

The better to show the falling off in dried and other fish, we give the figures for last year and this year respectively : In 1883, cod 26,700 hundred weight ; this year, 19,843 hundred weight, a deficiency of 6,857 ewt. A _ large number of New Brunswick boats fished all the season, mostly of North Cape, and are reported to have done better than our own men, because their boats are larger and better equipped. Hake, which is mustly a product of the waters of King’s County, kept up to the average of years, say about 9,000 quintals. Herriog were less abundant, the figures showing 36,000 barrels against 46,000 last year. Of the large quantity taken, only 7,700 barrels were used as focd, the remainder being for bait. Scarcity of herring always hurts the cod and mackerel fishery more or less, it being expeusive to fish with imported bait. On the whole the vear must be des- scribed as unsatisfactory, although prices ruled high. Seiners heve not so much io complain of, anda few lucky crews did well with the hook, but the great bulk of line fishers came out very poorly indeed. Cod fishing was deficient more irom bad weather preventing fishing than scarcity of fish. ‘The same reasop explains tbe sburtcowiug iu tle other gea fisbertes. |
