CIVIC ELECTION

Tue civic election will be held on Wed~ nesday, the 9hof February, or ina little more than three weeks from this date.

A REGRET.

We are glad to be assured that Mr. L. L. Beer did not intend to imply that the fact of the Board of Trade having de- sired that Professor Robert«on should visit this Province to established the dairy industry neutralized the credit, in this regard,which has heretofore been given the late Government of Canada. Certaialy the late Government does deserve great vredit upon thai score; and we regret having interpreted Mr. Beer’s words in a contrary sense, not intended by bim.

THE GLOBES’ PROPOSITION.

It is pleasing fo note that the Patriot is standing upagainst the Toronto Globe’s proposition that—after building and subsi- dizing railways in all parts of Canada, ex eept Prince Edward Island—the Govern- meat should now cease building and aub- sidizing railways, and su deprive Prince Edward Island of the railway extension to which she is justly entitled and which she has been promised by both par ties in the government of Canada.

Great Britain's commerce with the Chinese Empire amounts to $172,000,006 ® year, in a total of $258,000,000, or jus, »wo-thirde cf the whole foreign trade of Thiow. Of the 37,122 ships entered ard peared at treaty ports in 1895, 19,579 ere British and only 2.684 were German.

Surely the‘claim of the people of this Province is, jin view of thi-jfact, entitled tospecial consideration.

CONSERVATISM IN MANITOBA,

To judge by reports from Winnipeg, the Conseryative tide is flowing fast in the The Hon. Hugh Jobn MacDonald seems to be growing steadily in popularity. Sir Charles Tupper and he have lately been banqueted at sever: } points in the Provioce and lave been received with great eothusiasm. It is not improbable that the discovery of the deceit and hypocrisy of the Manitoba Liberals is Causing a reaction towards Conservatism. Everyone knows now (bat Greenway and Martir gained cilice as the result ofa solemn promise toa French constituency to maintain the public schools as then by law established, and that iivey del.berately broke their promise when they passed the educational laws which gave rise to the Manitoba School Question. They have been wonderfully successful under the circumstances. It is marvellous that ao jntelligent public, even though strongly prejudiced sgainst separate schools, could have atall tolerated the rascals. Pro- bably the depth of the deceit practised had not been fathomed by the mass of the people. But the rascals having at las, been joand out, there is a strong reaction towards the Conservative party and the Coneeryative leaders. That Sir Charles Tupper and the son of Sir John Mac- Dovald should be popu'ar in Manitoba is but natural in view of al] that the Province owes to these two fathers of our Confed- eration. The Manitoba leader declares that the Conservative party in the Pro- vince is pow united and will show an united line of battle in the next contest.

PROVINCIAL BOOK KEEPING.

— — --—

We regret thatthe Patriot evinces a disposition to misrepresent THe Examiner, lor instance it says, last evening, that,—- _ “The Examiner is a little unreasonable In tugge>ting that the Provincial Accounts might be issued as early inthe year as thore of the City Couneii.”

We have not suggested anything of the kind, though we have maintained that the Provincial accounts might be,aud ought to be, issued a great deal more quickly

than they are, and though we have

reason for believing that they could be issued a8 promptly as those of the city. lf the eystem of book-

keeping followed in the City C erk’s offi:e were adopted ty the Provincial offices, in copnection with a +barp col'ectiun of taxes aod prompt returos on the part of collect, @'s, it would certainly be possib'e to hav,

theaccounts of the past year ready to ‘a, befere the legislature during the last week ia January or the fi.st week in February, —

together with a clear and comprehevsive statement of the financial condition of the

Province. The Patriot agrees with Tux ExaMINeR that “late sessions are not desirable.” Then why does it not unite

with Tae Examiner in demanding a change that will, if adopted, make early seseions possible? The Patriot says that Tar Exam- iver did not murmur against the system ot book-keeping when its friends were in power. The Patriot is strangely forgetful. Not once, but repeatedly, while its friends were in power, Tne Examiner directed attention to the advisability of ebanging the system of book-keeping and having early sessions of the Legislaiure,

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

—The Brandon (Manitoba) Times re- ports that the weather there is all that anyone, excepting the coal dealers, could desire.

—The Transvaal is a really wondertul county. Itis reported that a seam of coal has lately been discovered there 221 feet thick !

—The Toronto Globe reportsthat the farmers of Ontario, aud in fact of all Canada, are discouragingly slow to take advantage of the excellent cold storage facilities provided by the Government, A retrigerator eervice bas been established right across the contineat, and grants have been made to local creameries for the erection of culd storage buildings, The . ‘ ‘ct of these grants and services was the delivery, at least weekly, of first-class butter in Britain. It is anything but gratifying to learn that the American farmers are quicker to take advantage of thia Canadian service than the farmers of the Dominion. Ourcreameries drop inio the habit of monthly sales, and gare not always absolutely reliable in the quality ot butter shipped. The result is that the British dealer conveniently claeses it as second cut, and the benefit of fancy prices is lost. All the way from Chicago to northern New York State American farm- ers ere making butter and shipping it by the Canadian cold storage service from Montreal. Canadians must bestir them~ selves.” By the way, the Government has rot yet tried what the farmers of P. E. Island would do about cold + torege,

ESTEEMED EXCHANGES.-

Moncton Times: It is said that the new I. C. R, traffic manager bas in contempla- tion an order requiring every employe to have his boots blackened and neatly polisbed three timesaday. The Cobdea medal brand of blacking must be used and an inspector will be appoinied :o see thet the order is duly ob: erved.

Farming: It is not everyon? who fully realizes the immense possivilities of Cane adian agriculture. When we think of the vast extent of our agricultural resources, aad the almost unlimited area of fertile lands now lying unproductive for the waut of some one to till them, we cannot” but realize that Canada is destined to be one of the greatest food-producing countries in the world, Our farmers should fully realize this fact and become conve:siat with the latest and best methods in favming practice. Canada’s agricultural resources cannot be developed to the fullest extent unless the very Lest sk'll acd business ability are epp'ied to the work cf ihe farm. As the n.wer sections become produc:ive the older ones will bave to ‘urn their attention to more intensive aod more concentrated methods of farming. Stock raising and dairying will have to be the main teature of the farming operations in the older parts of the Dominion.
