Still Another Liberal-Conservative Victory.

Mr. Kaulbach has been ent husiastical- ly elected in Lunenburg. His majority is about 300! This is another expres- sion of popular confidence in Sir John MeDonald and his ministry,—avother endorsation of the National Policy; an- other stunning blow to the Grits!

Exhibitions.

——

Ose of the most pleasing things con- nected with the Exhibitions lately held was the large number who saw them. Our farmers attended the local exhib- itions in force, anda large and hbighly respectable contingent went to St. John, —tosee, to take notes, to make com- parisons, and to learn iovaluable lessons and be stimulated to con- tinued exertions jin their most important avocation. Many of our tradesmen, also, went and examined, and criticised, and made notes of the improved machinery shown and operated. And our professional and public men were well represented. It was gratifying to see the Leader of the Government, the Provincial Secretary and Treasurer, the Commissioner of Public Works, and other members of the Provincial Govern- ment, on the grounds, taking a personal interest in the welfare of the Province, and makiog themselves acquainted, by personal observation, with the wants of the couvtry, in order that they may, at the proper time, know how to adopt the right measures to advance, as far as they may, the ioterests of the people whom they represent. Our Lieutenant Governor, too, has evinced commend- able interest in the exhibitions, and in his addresses has thrown out vala- able practical suggestions, which should be, and we hope will be, well considered.

To some cf the views of His Honer, demur may, of course, be made. It is, for instance, questionable whether it is advisable that the Model Farm should be managed at a loss so that the Provioce be benefited. A Model Farm that don’t “pay,” is not a model that farmers are likely to follow ; and should the Government manage the Model Farm at a loss, one of the advantages of having it will be lost. No. It should be the aim of the Government to demon- strate that high-class farming pays ; they should be careful to show by pub- lished statements thai it does pay; and thus supply to all (or nearly all) farm- ers the strongest incentive to improve.

The profits ef the farm should, of course, be laid out from year to year in the purchase of fresh supplies of pure bred stock; and we cordially endorse His Honor’s suggestion as to the import- ance of procuring a strain or strains of blood with a view tc the improvement of the milking qualities of the cows of the Province. Toe dissipate our strength and time in the endeavor to obtain and propagate a great many varieties of stock would be a folly. Better to import a few of the choicest kinds of cattle and make the best we can of them. But, while not relaxing their efforts to improve the Shorthorns and Ayrshires on the model farm, we think the Commissioners would do well to get a few Jerseys or Holsteins to strengthen the butter and cheese inter- ests of the Province.

As to horses, we have already had occasion to remark upon the expediency of importicg a few Clydesdale mares, so that with Barrister we lay may the founda- ation in the Island of a class ot pure Cly- desdales. This would be a measure of economy ; for we should be able to rear pure bred colts for ourselves and so keep up the character of our stock without being obliged continually to go to the Old Country for siallions. The value of heavy horses is just now being appreciated. By their sale, macy thousaads of doilars hare this year beeu brought into the Proviace ; and the figures obtained by Messrs. McMillan and Essory have thoroughly opened the eyes of our farm- ers. Many expressions of regret have fallen within the past few days concera- ing the sale out of the Island of the best animals of oar limited supply. But farmers can hardly be blamed for accept- ing what they consider a good offer; and with respect to Mr. MeMillan’s sales we are informed that he has still a large stud of horses, including a mare (larger and younger than the one sold) in foal to Barrister. As a rule it is bad policy in a farmer to sell the best animals he has—it is like selling the goose that laid the golden ege—aud as farmers shake of the financial burdens incident to purehasing the fee simple of their holdings and obtaining machinery aod the most approved implements, we may hope to see less of it.

The enterprise displayed by the Hon. Mr. McLeod, Mr. Sullivan, Mr. Lea, and others, shows that it is not necessary for the Government to do much in the way of importing carriage horses; and if they do anything at all, it should be to import the very best blood, in horse and mare, of England.

In the culture uf roots and vegetables we have advantages in soil and climate which with ordinary care insure our pre- eminence, Kut it is quite evident—thejSt. John Exhibition bas shown it —that Nova Scotia and New Brunswick are making very rapid strides towards perfection in their stock ; and our farmers generally rece be vg carefal in breediog their

----- _-_- Hdiiorial Notes.

—In an article by a trades-unionist in the London 7'imes, on the strike of the weavers at Ashton, the following lan- guage is used :—

‘It is contended by the masters that foreign competition has tended in a great measure to bring about the deplorable state of the cotton trade at the present time, and the men contend that this has nothing to do with the matter; that the heavy tariffs, im- posed by foreigners on our manufactured goods are the chief cause; and that if they were removed ‘no nation in the world could compete with English manufactures.’ ”

To us it seems that masters and men say the same thing in different ways : viz., that free trade has failed as against protection in the struggle for the market. The masters say it is foreign competition; the men say it is the foreign protective, tariff. Both mean the same thing.

—The hue and cry raised against tenement-house cigar-makers in many of the large cities of the United States seems to be entirely in the interest of the trades unions. It is urged that it is un- healthy for the men to work in the same apartments in which they live, or even in the same buildings. But the health authorities who have investigated the matter do. pot think so. The whole trouble appears to be that workers in the tenemeut-houses cannot be controlled by the unions so easily as those who are employed in the factories; and more- ever, that by laboring at home women are able to make excellent wages —often more thau the men, because their fiugers are more nimble. Naturally this is a state of affairs which the trades unions do not like, especially the leaders, who live in idleness by means of their power over their fellow-members’ minds and pockets. It is not a matter of deep regret, therefore, that the cigar manufac- turers by hiring a whole floor in a tene- ment-house are able to give work. to many poor people who otherwise could not get it.

—Commenuting on the recent failure of the Exchange Bank of Montreal, the Toronto Mail condemns the management of that Institution with much severity. There is very little wonder that too often the friends of a bank get into the hands of a clique or a reckless official, when the bank literally exists by means of, avd for the benefit of, a clique or single person. Au ignurant person with plenty of money is supposed to be a first-rate man for a bank director or a President. But Finance is ascience; and science invari- ably revenges herself pitilessly on those who ignorantly meddle with her laws. The shareholders of banks ought not to be too easily led into handing over their proXies and appointing presidents and directors ; but to insist on the most speci- fic statements as to the extent to which the funds of the bank are used by its officers ; and to be assured, as far as they can, that the president and directors are persons capable of honesty and efficiently discharging the duties they are paid for discharging. An insistance on such simple things will save private persons from calamity, and will save Canada from financial discredit.

Exhibition Notes,

Miss Maria Longworth, of this City, not Mrs. W; Longworth, obtained the prize in St. John for embroidery on silk.

In noticing the horses at the Provincial Exhibition we omitted mention of the splendid yearling colt, by Barrister, shown by the Hon. L. McMillan of Covehead West. He was one of those most worthy of special mention. Mr. McMillan afterwards sold him for $150. .

Mr. Jabez Lea's splendid young stallion was not shown at the Provincial Ex. hibition.

Our Advertisers.

Original Discovery of Iron and Steel.

In an address on technical training, de- livered before the Alumni Association of Lehigh University, Thomas M. Drown pictures the discovery of metallic iron and steel in this way:—‘‘Nearly all the early discoveries in the arts were the result of accident or hap-hazard experiment. We can well imagine that a fire large and intense enough to reduce iron from its ore must often have been made in accidental cuntact with surface ore, and that the presence of the metal in the ashes must have attracted attention. This, observation once made, there would follow a series of experiments to. determine the conditions under which the metal was produced, and the substances necessary for its production. It would not long escape intelligent observation, that a certain brown earth, or may be a black rock, was the substance which yielded the metal, and that fire was the necessary con- dition of its formation.

But the iron thus accidently produced—a mixture of meta!, cinder and ashes—was of no value till further experiment revealed the fact that the metal could when hot be united by hammering into one mass, with the separation of cinder and other extrane- ous matter. The discovery of this property prompted still further experi- ments to be made. The irregularity of the product would suggest the more perfect control of the fire, and small furnaces would be built. In the course of time it would be noted that the iron was not uniform in hardness, and an accident would be sure to reveal the fact that some- times the metal, when suddenly cooled in water, would become intensely hard. This new line of investigation would result in the production of steel.”
