Davies has blundered worse than he ; afterwards retrieved his reputation by pru- dently “‘ backing down.” We hope

listen to the popular demand for the repeal of the Assessment law, endanger the exist- ence of his Government. There is reason to fear that the Leader of the Opposition may be called upon to form an administra tion, if the Premier continues to ignor public opinion and the reasonable advice his friends. The moderate and prudent course Mr. Sullivan has pursued has com mended him to the public. There is rea for believing that should Mr. Davies i-reconcilable, the public will sustain Mr. Sullivan. Mr. Davies must no longer trus for strength only in Mr. Sullivan's weal mess. We believe it is more certain no" than ever that Mr. Davies must either su! mit or resign.

our farmers paid into this office for the purchase of the freehold of their farms no less than $78,506.10; and we have reason ior believing that since the close of the pasi year some £50,000 or $40,000 additiona, were paid for the same laudable purpose. This fact indicates the possession by ou farinersof a large amount of mate i 1 wealth and augurs a prosperous future under free dom from the landlord’s power.

solutely necessary for carrying on a summer

fishery. Yet, the lecturer assures us, such was the fact. Justice, in those early times, was administered by ‘‘Fishing Aduwirals.” it was solmenly enacted that the master of the first ship entering a harbor was to be LSfishing Admiral” therein during the fish. ling season and to be empowered to decide ypon all complaints. We can fancy the xind of justice rough skippers so appointed would gnete out to the unbappy tishermen who happened to displease hin.

The lectureer dwells upon the steadily in- | creasing wealth and importance of the fish- Jeries of Newfoundland ; upon the riches of ts undeycloped mines ; upon the resources of the Island in timber and fine agricultural iands. He strongly advises the building of a railway across it from St. John to St. Georges. IEf built, he believes it will take the largest portion of European travel, be- cause it will render the crossing of the At- lantic the comparatively small matter of ** seven days on board steamer.” But whether utilized in this way or not, Mr. Yarvey believes that Newfoundlad cannot inuch longer afford to be without a railway —which ‘‘ means the conversion of the Island in'o a hive of industry, and the com- mencement of a material prosperity to which we can set no limits.” Mr. Harvey says

The Russian Cabinet, however, considers that by making the above-men- tioned eommunication it fulfilled Interna- tional duties, and is léss inclined to agree to a special presentation of the treaty to the Congress, inasmuch as making known all conditions of peace it affords each Power an opportunity of making separate provisions of the treaty the subject of uropean cle- liberations.

The correspondence between our Govern- ment and England relative to the appoint- ment of the late fisheries commission was sent to the Senate.
