NOTES AND COMMENTS

Mr. Grenier dubs Israel Terte a becdler, nd Israel Tarte retorts that Grenier isa blackmailer. If the Tories “were staying suc h things of either of these a stinguished Libera!s they would be charged with using harsh and ungentle- mianiy language.

—The St. John Sun points out that when Sir Oliver Mowat became a senator and a

minister the country was told that the Gov- ernment had a policy of senate reform and Sir Oliver was the man to see it through. The oaly plan of senate reform that Sir @iiver has vet proposed is his own retire- sent from that body.

—La Courrier du Caneda reminds Sir Richard Cartwright that he stroagly condemned Mr. Fister for having the audacity of asking the House to vote $38,- 300.000 and he qualified ita dishonor and ashame. These words Le Courrier thinks apply now with equal force to Mr. Fielding, who is going to England to increase the public debt by $15,000,000.

—The news of the death of General Neal Dow, known as the “Father of Probibition,” will be heard with regret by every friend of the temperance cause. General Dow was born at Portland, Me.,in 1804. He drafied the celebrated Maine Law in 1851, ana was the prohibition candidate for President of the United States in 1880.

— During the last election campaign the Toronto Globe almost daily pictured Sir Cnuarles Tupper as a robber and a fraud, ebarging him with all manner of iniqui- ties, ani calling him all soris of vile name :. In view of this it isin an uvtenable pos tioo when it declares that Mr. Tarte mst not be condemned until Parliament has investigated and found him guilty, As the Mon:real Gazette points cut, “The breed of the ox that is being gored make; a great difference in the poin. of view of the Ontario organ of the Laurier G_vernment.”

—It is pointed out by the St. John San that a few years ago the United States Government claimed exclusive jurisdiction over all the seals that swarm there. Now the same government insists that not only Great Britain but Russia and Japan should participate in the seal conference. Natural- ly this demand is disregarded by England, as the original claim wa-. Great Britainjiod Canada are willirg to confer on the tefins of the understanding reached by the Paris tribunal. This country participates not so much because it sees the necessity for svch a conference as because the confer- ence is a part of the decree.

If the United Statss chooses to introduce a new element the whole proceeding will of course be abandoned, and seal hunting will go on as at present.

ge

—The Montreal Gazette points out that Sir Wilfrid Laurier’s statement at the Montreal Board of Trade banquet to tie effect that 90 per cent of Canada’s products goes to Europe via a foreign country, is attracting attention in the West. The Chicago Tribune makes it the text of an editor .) not over complimentary to the country. Itis believed that Sir Wilfrid got the theory from Mr. Tarte, who, a few days pre-ious, had propounded it in an interview. It wae so palpably absurd, however, that no one treated it seriously. Asa matter of fact ro one whe knows him ex; cte the Premier to exhibit a knowledge of commercial affairs in his acdresses, and so many of his errors escape criticism. The comment that his 90 per cent break, which was about 90 per cent. out, is causing should be a lesson to him, however. When he has not time to inform himself exactlyon commercial questions, he should avoid reference to them.

Potatoes are quoted at $5.25 per barrel in Havana.

The Maine State Asylum for tne Insane in Augusta is crowded —fearfuliy crowded —and to relieve the congested condition of the institution it has been found neces- sary to order back to their homes over two hundreds of the patients whose mania is of amilder type. This is causing great excitement all over the state, as there is a general fear that it is not safe to give many of these people their liberty.

Mrs. Ormistom-Chant tavs Princess Sophia told her that the worst enemy of Gie ce was nct the Sultan, but her brother, Emperor William of Germany. Princess Sophia may bave made such a statement; but if she said it it was certainly in the strictest confitence and without any expec- fation that it would be repeated. Mrs. Ormiston-C bant has not done the Princess Sophia or the cause of Greece any good by the course she has taken.

After spending a whole day at the “ralls” we yery reluctantly repair- ed to the boat, and fe ling thoroughly tired Out enjoved a quiet return trip across the lake in the refresbing cool of a lovely moonlight night to the city of Toronto. I should not have omitted to say that the prismatic colors ziven asthe sun from behind a dark cloud shone out were beautifulin theextreme. To anyone visiting Toronto I should say “Goto St. Cather- ines.” Thetrip across the bay is well worth taking. Whata glorious crossing we did have that morning in early Septem ber Kiog Sol. shining bright and clear re- flecting himse fin a glow of col r and warmth in the water below. Leaving Toronto somewhere in the vicinity of 7 a. m.,0n boar: the good ship 1 think she was called the Rmpreseof India a delight- ful three hours was spent in charming conversation with a valued friend whose knowledge of the topography of the country made it aoubly interesting. Upon reaching the Garden of Ottawa, as St. Catherive’s is Called, and justly ev, through the kindness of friends there 1 was given a delightful drive some littie distance into the inter‘or, and to my astonished vision the peach orchards and vineyards were a startling revelation. Never vefure had I picked the luscious fruit from off the trees; and such an abundant crop. Why the trees in many placea showed numercus broken branches ‘rom the weight of fruit they were endeavoring to support. Sach a feed! AsI enjoved. “The ultegether” was a delight to the eye as well as pleasing to the eppetite. So the recollection of St. Catherine’s peach orchards and vineyards will always be a jastiog memory. A word about the famous Welland Canal which we next approached. Ino 1829 this stupendous structure was opened for navi- gation, thus inaugurating a new era in the

commerce of the country. It has 28 locks, and the whole affair cost $14,000,000, li was most interesting to watch the progress of a large steamer passing through one of the locks at which I was quiet near. ‘The

surrounding country through which

this canal traverses is ail

so beautiful that I felt most reluctant to leave it and was sorry when our drive

was over. But as all things must have an

St Catherines itself isa city of about 12,-

000 inhabitants. It has very fine avenues,

and very broad streets lined on either

sides with beautiful shade trees ceonspicu-

ous among which is the weeping elm or

Some of the Perils of Hunters for Gold ia the Klondike,

Bosrox, Oct l—A lady who is tea h- ing in a public shoo! in Chelrea has re- ceive! a letter from an acquaintanze who is at present in Skaguay, Alaska, bidivg

his time uatil spring when he is going nto the Kionnike region for gold (he letter echoes current stories about the diliculty of essaying @ journey to the id tilds at this time of year and the

ulfiying which will probably entailed upon many of these ¥ ho have already ‘ ashed ieir Way fui waid. Pois is very bard time of the year to ‘oto the Yukon,” writes this traveller, everything has either to be packed on 0.1 back or on borses Over the mount- The Skaguay trail, or ‘White Pass,’ 43 it is called, is 41 miles from the town to he lakes {or bead waters of the Yukon.

Lis

linere have been only a few to cross the White Pass. Tbe mud there in many places is Walst deep, as the ground Is very awampy. A grest inany horses have met

r death there.”

*The Dyea trail, or ‘Ghileoot Pass,’’ coatinues the letter writer, is only abcut 57 miles from the salt water tothe head waters of the Yukon. A great many have gonethat way. Thetrail there is very sieep, and the flnd@ns charge from 30 to 40 cents a pound for carrying ouifits through vbis pass to the head waters.”

Writing of Dawson City, the traveller expres-es fear for those already there. *] think there will be a great deal of hardship there this winter,” he writes, “asa great many people took only enough provision; for the tr.p in. The river is-likely to freeze by October 1, so (the river boats wiil bot be able to go up. The Yukon river box«ts cannot go up that river until next July, when tha river becomes free from floating ice.”

The writer of this letter has his own ideas regarding the trip he intends to make in the spring. “J shall sleigh my outfit over the mountain summits,” he announces “and put a gail on my sleigh and go down the lakes at the Yukon bead waters until I come to good timber. Then I can whip- saw lumber for my boat and proceed down the river to Dawson, though there are other rivers this side of the Klondike where gold has been found.”

Skaguay is described as being about 100 miles north of Juneau, and 700 miles south of Klondike, ““‘When I arrived here August 15,” writes the gold hunter, “:here wa3 not a house in town, but tents were pitched on territory extending five miles. Now there are many houses going up, among them a two story hotel. Uhe town consists principally of saloons, resturants, gambling houses aud music halls, There are no churches or school and the place is prettyrough. There is oné wharf and two more to ve built. There is only one saw mill, which does not come near supply‘ng the demand for lumber, which is in great demand, and sells for $30 per thousand, undressed, and $40 per thousand dressed.”
