Editorial Notes.

—It is thought that Mr. H. C. Pelle- tier of Quebec will succeed the late Judge Mousseau as Judge of Rimouski.

— Belgium telegrams report that the number of arrests made in connection with the recent riots is upwards of 2,500.

— The Montreal butter dealers are protesting against the violation of the law with respect to the importation of oleomargarine.

— The King of Corea has issued an edict abolishing slavery. It is estimated that over one-half the inhabitants of Corea are slaves.

—The Greek and Turkish armies on the Turco Greek frontier are said to have lost ten per cent. of their men by ex- tremely cold weather.

—It is stated that the British govern- ment is disposed to receive favorably the American proposals for a readjustment of the trans-Atlantic postage rates.

—The Legislature of Massachusetts has enacted a law compelling all the cor- porations, including railroads, to pay their employes weekly after July 1, 1886,

—Receut advices from Newfoundland are to the effect that the seal fishery is very successful, In some districts, it is said, the catch has been uuprecedently large.

—The Inland Revenue returns for Toronto division for March are $489, 984.71, as compared with $78,657.28 for the corresponding month ‘ast year, show- ing an increase of $411,527.48,

—It is reported that Mr. Gilroy, of St. Thomas, Ont., is in Montreal making arrangements for the purchase and sbip- ment of 5,000 head of cattle intended for the stocking of the new Newry ranch near Calgary.

—John Dillon, M. P., speaking at Kensington, vigorously denounced the Orangemen, who, he said, were fanning the flame of religious enmity, which the Irish National League had almost entire: ly swept away:

—It is said that some physicians are prescribing nitro-glycerine as a stimulant in place of brandy. Two drops of a one per cent. solution are the equivalent of an ounce of brandy, and this dose creates no unnatural craving.

— British cablegrams. report that amoug the presentations at the drawing- room recently held by the Queen at Buckingham Palace, was that of Lady Topper by the Coumess of Rosebery, io the absence of the Countess of Granville. Sir Charles Tupper was also present on the occasion.

—The expansive powers of the Anglo- Saxon race are illustrated by the extent of Eog!and’s colonial empire. <A recent calculation shows that England has three timtes as large an extent of colonies as all the rest of Europe together. The aggre- gate area of her colonies is eighty-five times that of England,

—Itis said that an unusually large quantity of Nova Scotia coal is expected to.be sent to the upper provinces this year. Competition among the mine owners is keen, aud low prices are the rule. The Canadian Pacific Railway will likely contract this year for 75,000 tons more than last year.

The great rainfall in New England in February is declared by meteorologists who have studied it to have been un- precedented since records began to be kept. The total amount of water which fell from the clouds, chiefly during 24 hours, is computed to have amounted to 730,000,000,000 gallons.

—In the Connecticut Legislature the House has passed a bill prohibiting the employment of children under 13 years of age in any manufactory or mechanical establishment. The word “mercantile” was stricken from the bill as originally presented. This bill has been urgently pressed by the labor organizations of the

al Policy, the Reform press took good |

care to conceal the fact that the decline was really due to the decrease ir the cost of production in the United States, ow- ing to the expiration of patents. The Montreal Gazette shows that the effect of the National Policy has been to pre- serve for the Canadian manufacturer the home market, which would otherwise b» swamped with American machives. While the number of machines imported in 1878-9 was 9,262, in 1884-5 it was only 7,816,

—The Hon. Mr, Sullivan, Premier, arrived home last night, via. Northern Light and Georgetown; Hon. Mr. Ferguson remained at Halifax, but is expected to follow his co-delegate in a short time. On arrival of the special train from Georgetown, about 9 o'clock last evening, the Premier was greeted by a large number of his personal and political friends who warmly and heartily welcomed him home, and ex- pressed their gratification at his being once more in our midst prepared to re- sume the helm of State. We learn that the results of the delegation are highly satisfactory, and we may safely infer that its representations are likely to re- ceive a good measure of at- tention in the proper quarters. We await developments with feelings of assurance that our delegates have again earned the weil-merited confidence of the people of this Island.

The Irish Question.

James O'Kelly, M, P., cables to the New York Herald:

“The political week has been gloomy and un- settled. Uncertainty, fear and doubt pervade the Liberal ranks. Chamberlain and his group are working like beavers, canvassing, Caucussing, threatening. Behind them the whole London press is exciting the fears of voters and urging revolt. Chamberlain, Hartington and Lord tandoiph Churchill have fermed an_ unholy alliance to overthrow Mr. Gladstone. Churchiil and Chamberlain hold consultations openly in the house and may be seen plotting together in the smoking room. Undoubtedly the balance of opinion in the house has swung heavily against Giadstone’s proposed settlement of the Irish question during the past week. While his enemies have consolidated their strength his friends have grown faint and wavering. All along the line the attack is bold and unscru- pulous while the defence is weak and deprecia- tory. Itis risky to criticize so skilfula parlia- mentary tactician as Gladstone, but it seems to me that his delay has been a serious mistake. It allowed various elements of opposition to coalesce while Gladstone’s friends were left in doubt and ignorance respecting the programme called upon to defend. The effect of the growing opposition has been to frighten members of the cabinet, and strong efforts have been made to induce Gladstone to modify his proposals in order to make them more acceptable to the English a This he has sternly declined to do. uiberal and Kadical members are in a bad fix be- tween the Scylla of Chamberlain and the Charyb- dis of Lord Randolph Churchill. Should Glad- stone be defeated he will appeal tothe country, when the mutineers will be attacked both by the Gladstone Liberals and Irish Home Rulers, So far as the sitting niembers are concerned, the result -would be their almost complete political extinction to the great gain of the Tory party. Chamberlain’s revolt pushed to its logical con- clusion means the utter smash up of the Liberal and Radical parties. It means three-cornered contests in all Liberal constitutencies and the probable victory of Tory <andidates wherever Gladstone failed of an over-whelming majority. The loyal Seppossere of Gladstone are furious against Chamberlain and other mutineers, and if Giadstone is defeated there will be war to the knife between the hostile factions. Cham berlain will make a bitter fight, for unless he wins he will be destroyed. In all probability the Irish leaders will give a full history of his secret nego- tiations with them. It will then be known that he offered Home Rule and even declared his readiness to accept an Irish republic on conditions that the Irish party would help him to overthrow Gladstone, Hartington and the House of Lords. The Irish party, with one or two exceptions, always mistrusted him and preferred to look to Gladstone for carrying Home Rule through,Par- liament.”

The Canadian. Fisheries.

The New York Hera/d has the following from Washington :—

“The attitude of the Canadian Government toward our fishermen attracts attention here be- cause of its extreme unreasonableness and the irritating manner in which the Canadians are attempting to set up a system of intercourse purely vexatious to our people, and at the same time injurious to their own, Canadians,say that as We abrogated the fishing clausein the'treaty of Washington, our fishermen have no longer 4 right to fish within the three mile limit in Cana- dian waters, but our fishermen reply they do not want to fish within the three mile limit, that they have not done so for some years, and do not want todo itin the future. On that point, therefore, there is no disagreement, but the Canadians assert that under the treaty of 1818 our people have no right to go into Canadian ports except for wood, water and repairs. Our fishermen have been in the habit of going into these portsjto buy codfish bait and perbaps other supplies—a traftic which is of great advantage to the people of those ports who have no other market for bait they collect than our fishermen afford. The Canadians now forbid their people to sell bait to our fisher- men and prohibit our people from going into their ports for that purpose. The question, therefore, which Canadians have raised, is not one of fishery rights, but a question of commerce. The bait which our people have gone there to buy in past years and are now forbidden to buy is for use, not in Canadian waters, but on the codfish banks of | the open ocean. Whatthe Canadian Government presumes to do is to prohibit commercial inter- course of acertain kind. Thisis further illustrated by the fact recently reported, that some of our fishermen, having engaged the services of Can- adian fishermen to serve on their vessels, and go- ing into Canadian ports to take them on board, were forbidden te do this. The Canadian Gov-

State,

—The New York Chamber of Com- | merce has passed a resolution approving | of the movement for the abolition of imprisonment for debt or arrest in civil | cases, ind unanimously selected Erastus Wiman asa delegate to appear before the Joint Committee on Judiciary in the Senate and Assembly at Albany for the cousideration of a bill accomplishing this

purpose.

— A milk house is an absolute neces- sity on every farm where good butter is tobe made, says the National Stockman, and if one with all modern conveniences cannot be provided, a rude frame build- ing can be put up over some convenient spring, or where the waste water from the well can run into it. A very few dollars will buy sufficient timber for such a building, aod anyone can easily put it up who has a saw, hatchet and nails. Such a building will often answer all the purpose, and just as well as a more expensive one, and this being the case there is no call for anyone doing without

a suitable place to keep milk in warm weather.

MARKETS.

Boston,*April 1.

Porators,—The market is dull with an easier tone. The best Houlton Rose rule principally at 73c, and Eastern}Hebrons are worth about the same. Other kinds com- mand from 60 to 650. The demand for seed has dropped off,

Fisa—The jobbing trade has dropped off a little, and the market has ruled rather quiet for the season. Prices of Mackerel the same as last week, but there is very little demand for round lots, and sales of ordinary No. 2 could not be made except at some concessions. Choice No. 3 and extra grades of No. 2 and No. 1 are scarce and steady. We quote early caught No. 3 at $4 to $4 50; ordinary No. 2 at $6.50 to $7; extra No. 2 $8 to $9; and No. 1 from $20 to $30 per bbl, as to quality. Codfish continue dulland easy. Large pickle cured Bank are hard to sell at $2.25 per qtl., and some lots are offering as low as $2. Dry Bank are held at $2.624 for medium, and $3' for large, bat very little demand. Georges Codtish $3 to $3.50 per qtl.

Pork.—Prices are fairly steady, with sales of new mess at $11 37 to $11 50; clear at $12 75 to $13; and backs at $13 to $13 50 per bbl.

Oats.—The market is quiet and steady. No. 2 white have sold at 42+to 424c, as to location, and No. 3 white at 4l4c. per bushel.

Kacs.—There has been an easier tend- ency most of the week and prices gradually declined. Thirteen to 134c. for Eastern extras this morning, and 12$to 130, for Western firsts. The market closes quiet, but with a steadier tendency.

LETTERS £0 THE EDITOR, — ———— A Complaint.

Str,—The attention of Mr. Coleman, the worthy Supt. of the P. E. I. Railway, is called to the repairs necessary on the road leading from the main road to the Railway freight house here. I[t is next to impossible to haul! freight to or from the freight house at this season uf the year. There is about eighteen inches of water running over this road for three weeks in the spring season: If the Railway authorities expect to earry freight to and from this station, they will have to give us better accommodations in ifuture. We hope tosee this matter attend- } ed to at once.

Yours, A Mexcuanrt. Tignish, April 5th, 1886.

A Suggesiion.

Srr,—I would like to suggest to the pro- per authorities, through the columns of your paper, the advisability of placing a proper sidewalk around the Dundas E:- planade. It is the favorite walk. during ths summer months, on account of the cool sea breeze in the evening, and surely the city can afford to make it a more desirable resoxi, Which they can very easily do, by laying @ (say) five-foot planking on each side of the street, leaving a good wide car- riage drive between. The object of this donble walk is, that persons walking down from Water Street would take the left hand one and coming up the right, consequently there would be no meeting, jostling, ete. An extra electric light also would throw more light on the subject if placed (say) between Messrs. Connolly’s and Davies’. Common sense would show the advantages of thus having really an ‘* Es- planade,” but Iam. afraid that the said common sense is an element in our Council couspicuous by its absence. Another sub- ject I would like to say something about is the agreeable neighborhood that has to be passed on the road out to the Park, but I ato afraid that it would be a useless task, and also am afraid of trespassing on your valuable space.

Yours, etc., P, Desrrian.

A Terrible Crime.

The inquest on the bodies of Joba A. Bailey and his hired man, name unknown, who were burned in a building destroyed by fire on Thursday night near Wiarton, Ont., has been concluded. It disclosed a most atrocious and blood-curdling murder. The fire occurred about 9 o’clock, p. m., on Thursday, the 25th ult. Bailey had been in Wiarton in the afternoon, and had start- ed for home about 7 o’clock, after which he was never seen alive. His team was found standing in the stable unharnessed, just as he had unhitched and put them in, when he went to the house to meet his untimely end. The body supposed to be that of Bailey had a gash four inches long in the right side of the neck, sever- ing all the principal blood vessels on that side, and a heavy blow had crushed in the forehead, until the brain had exuded. The body of the hired man showed still more horrible treatment. The

our ships taking on board the same number of carpenters or bricklayers. The Canadian Govern- ment begins this policy out of pure irritation at } going too far-about fishery rights. There is no | way for them to get up a dispute with us as to the | rights of commerce. Their home government | will searcely countenance, it is believed, any} attempton the part of Canadians to interfere | with that, nor can the United States suffer any such monstrous claim, and that the friendly ports of a neighboring country shalJl be for no good} reason, ar, indeed, for any reason at all, while | they remain friendiy ports, arbitarily closed to our commerce.” ——— + Gero Ee

Northwest Immigration. % enmiittean The immigration agent at Winnipeg does not expect ‘that in the early spring many people will atrive there, nor will there be at any time this year a very great rush of people coming in, but he ¥ certain that commencing in the spring and continuing all through the summer months there will be a steady and continued influx of old country settlers, There are at the present time, he says, a few people arriving daily from various parts of the old country, but the majority of those coming in are from Ontario, who have not only their families with them but are bringing a complete out- fit of stock and effects,‘and coming in‘early, as they are now doing, will be in a good position to putin a crop this season.
