THE WAR.
Tne ups and downs of life are atriking)y ilastrated by the war in South Africa, Onur successes at the beginning of the yea have been followed by two little reverses— one ‘he result of an accident and the other might have hap;.ened long ago. Practically» the military situation remains unchanged, —though Ladysmith has sustained another
attack which has been repnised. Iwmrpati- ence is felt at General Bualler’s continued inactiou,—though tbhatis better than an»
otber defeat,

BY WAY OF BRULE
Parixce Epwarp Isianp is interested in the extension of the Midland Rajsiway of Nova Scotia to Point Brule, opposite Charlottetown. When the line from Truro te the Point shall have been com- pleted, we shall have sixty m_les legs to travel to Truro and Halifax, and an al- most straight liae of communication with Boston by way of Yarmouth.? It is etated thatthe saving in the distance betweea Charlottetown and Yarmouth is a hun- dred and ten miles, and from Yarmouth by steamer is a matter of one might at sea. There is said to be enfficient harbor ac commodation at Point Brule; and if so there is re reason why the new line should not be the chief line of communi- cation between this Province, Nova Scotia andthe Eastern States for passengers and freight. We hope to see the extension made without delay.

A PUBLIC LIBRARY
Tart there is in Charlottetown a geni le- man ready to give $10,000 towards the establ'sbment of a public library is a very
pleasing aod reassuring fact. We had be~ gua to fear for the public sp rit of our men
of wealth and leisure. Butthe offer of tbe generous unknown, recently aunouac-
ed, proves that the fear was groundless.
It may be equally true that with the estab- lishmeat of a public library placiog good books within the reach of all citizens, there will be a notable development of the taste for reading. It is said that one man may
lead @ horse to the brook, but forty men cannot make him drink. At least equally trie is it, and much more probable, that given the opportunity, the animal will drink freely, So we may hope that when, by the instrumentality of the thoughtful
and enterprising gentleman who proposes to establish a library here, good books are provided in Charlottetown they will be read by the young men aad women of tke
city. The appetite for reading is one which grows by what it feeds on; and it is not unlikely that, as time passes, the library will have a continually larger body of patrons snd the intellectual life of the community be more and more invigorated. However this may be, the thanks of al! who take an iaterest in the mental growth and ability of future generations in Char- lottetewn will be unstintingly accorded the donor of the $10,000.

—Rudolph Lemieux, M. P for Gaspe, writes that Le wired Sir Levis Davies to put the 8S. S. Stanley on the Magdalen route for & few trips at least. That is so much. But will it bedone? Ifhe bad followed strictly our advice and got the Master of the Administration, Terrie, to do the wiring, already the good old winter boat would have cheered the hearts of the Magdalenes with her whistle.

PERMANENT EXHFIBITIONS
Tmat was an excellent suggestion which eame from the Board meeting of the Fruit Growers’ Association of Prince Hdward
Island to get up a permanent exhibition
of the fruitof the province and place tin our provincial buildiag where strangers visiting the country many phem, chemieally preserved, samples of
ali the kinds of fruit, wild and cultivated, |
Even
selves might gather much very necessary
this province produces, eur own knowledge of our resources im this direc tiun, as well as have an ever ready means of identifying the differen. kinds of apples, plums, pears, etc., that we can grow.
We are strongly in favor of extending the exhibit till it comprehends a fuli show of all the products of our soil, roots and cereals, as well as fruit. We notice in other provinces that about the most interesting place one can go to is the permanent exhi- bition of the mineral and agricultural, aud in some esses, the pircatorial esources of the colony. We who have mines and are almost dependent—and every year
no
pecoming more so—on the fruits of the soil, should not Jag behind in tbis import- ant matter. It would take a little time to get ibtogether, but the obj ct leseon it would afford should doubly compensaie the trouble and the little expenre. We have some young men in owr midst who have qualified themselves in agricultural and horticultural colleges and who, directed when necessary by the profes- sionals of the Experimental Farms at Ottawa, might well undertake this work. We hope it will be done in the near future aud that thie garden prevince, so neglected and misruled of late, may again soon im- press outsiders as well as insiders with the superiority of ite agricultural re. sources. The Fruit Growers’ Association has made an excellent suggestion, one that it seems sirange was not longago made, and we ought to take it up at once,
NOTES AND COMMENTS.
—A large amount of frozen swmelts; eele, etc., are moving over the railway liae, principally from the west, for the winter boats. This branch of commerce appears to be extending itself,
—Mr. Paton» article on © ommerse published in snother column, is well worthy # careful perusal and ought to be specially interesting toour men of busi: ness in view Of the meeting of the Char- lottetown Board of Trade.
—The public revenues of Ne wfound- land forthesix months ended December 3lst were $1,043,000, $230,000 over the figures reached during the corresponding period of 1898. This is the largeet show- ing ever made ia the history of the colony.
—The comedy of “ How a Grit Inspec. tor and Magistrate Jaboured not to con- vict ajGritjrumse)ler west” (coming on the Elections) makes spicy reading, but we haven't space for it just now. East and west, it is all the same in this Jine under this bleesed temperance sdministration !

TRE BOER RIFLEMAN’S SONG,
Lay my rifle here beside me, set my Bible on my breast, For a moment let the wailing bugles
cease :
As the century is closing, I am going to my rest,
Lord, lettest Thou Thy servant go in
peace. But loud through all the bugles rings a cadence in mine ear, And on the winds my hopes of peace are stowed ; The wiods that waft the voices that al- ready I can hesr—- Of the reoi-baatje® singing on the road.
Yes, the red-coats are returning ; I can hear the cteady tramp, After twenty years ot weiting lulled to sleep, Since rank and file at Potchefstroom we hemmed them in their camp, And cut them up at Broakerepruit like sheep. They shelled us at Ingogo, but we gal- loped into range, And we shotthe Britieh gunners where they showed : I guessed they would return to us—I knew the chance must change— Hark! the rooi-baatje singing on the road |
But now from snow-swept Canada, from India’s torrid plaine, From lone Austrelian outposts, hither led ; Obeying their commando, as they heard the bugle’s strains, The men in brown have joined tke men. in red. They come to find the colors at Majuba left and lost; They come to pay us baek the debt they owed ; And | hear new voices lifted, andI see strange colors tossed, "Mid the rooi-baatje singing on tke road,
The old. old faiths must falter ; the old, old creeds must tail— I hear itin that distant murmur low— The old, old order changes, and ’tis vain for us to rail ; The great world does not want us—we must go. And veldt,’and spruit, the kopje 4o the stranger will belong, No more to trek before him we shall load ; Too well, too well I knew it, for I hear it in the song
Of the rooi-baatje singing ov the road. |-
