Our Exhibitions.

Ir is hoped that preparations for the exhibitions are being made by our enter- prising and public spirited farmers and manufacturers. We ought to make an exceptionally good show this year; for we have the means of doing so, and it is in the interest of the Province that we should do so. The exhibit of grains ought to be exceptionally fine; and of horses and cattle there should be no falling off, but rather an improvement in the exhibits of all former years. Last year, our exhibitions—pir- ticularly the Provincial Exhibition held in Charlottetown—were highly creditable to the Province. Some dissatisfaction was, it is true, caused by reason of hitches result- ing from the fact of an inexperienced, though enterprising and zealous, directorate. But the lessons learned then, have not, we feel assured, been forgotten. Our exhi- bitioas will probably be visited by the farmer delegates from Great Britain, as well as by prominent farmers and stock- raisers from the sister Provinces of Canada. It is, therefore, the more important that large and excellent representations should be given of all the varied products of this fruitful Island. Much of the pleasure of last year’s exhibition was due to the special

exhibits made by the merchints and manu- facturers of Charlottetown. We trust that this feature will not be wanting this year. Let it be seen that there is in this community a large amount of enterprise and public spirit.

Visit of British Farmer Delegates.

In their anxiety to open up Western Canada, the Government have not given sufticient attention to the development of Eastern Canada. The result is seea by the census exhibitof 1891. While the Govern- ment have been devoting their attention to Northwest and the great Pacific Province beyond its borders, the voice of the Grit has been heard in our our land; and it has been effective in in- ducing our youth to emigrate to the States and so in preventing @ large addition to our We are glad to note, in the

our great

population. selection of British farmer delegates to specially visit and inspect Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island, the first tangible evidence of an intention of the Government to direct its attention

more particularly to these Maritime Pro- vinces. The delegates will, we feel sure, find, in this part of Canada good gruunds upon which to advise those whom they represent to come out and settle here. Oa our part we should heartily welcome the arrival of a number of British farmers to take up land in various parts of the country. —————__ +++ —____——- Notes and Comments.

—It is stated on good authority that since the first of January of this year we have exported upwards of nine millions of exgs to the United Kingdom, and that Canadian eggs have taken so firm and strong a hold on the English market, and the demand for them is so great, that the indications are that before the close of the year we will have exported as many eggs to Great Britain as ever sent to the United States. More than that, it is stated that the prices realized have averaged just a trifle more than the average price of eggs sent to the States in former years.

— Montreal Star: ‘The cities of Canada, witha few exceptions, are increasing in population at a most remarkable rate, while the old settled rural districts are standing still or going backward. The same state of affairs prevails in the eastern states of the American Union, where thousands of farms have been deserted. In the Western States, as in the Canadian Northwest, owing to the cheapness of land and the fertility of the unexhausted soil, the disparity between the growth of rural and urban population is nut so great, but even in the west the cities are growing much more rapidly than the farming dis- tricts. Infact, throughout the civilized world the people are crowding into the cities and towns.

NOTES FROM OTTAWA.

Opposition Obstruction.

el

Islanders at Ottawa.

[ SPECTAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE EXAMINER. |

In supply, upon a vote for the construc” tion of public buildings, Mr. Charlton, Mr- Landerkin, Mr. McMullen and Mr. Casey made a lively row about the appropriation for erecting a post office at Dartmouth, N.S. It was throwing away money, the place was small and unimportant, they scented corruptien, etc. And so they talked and scolded and raved for three solid hours, As soon as Charlten sat down, Landerkin got up, and then Mills, then McMuilen, then Casey, then Watson, and so on. On this one item Landerkin spoke 15 times, McMullen 13 times, Mills 11 times, and Charlton and Casey 5 times each. Bye and bye, however, Forbes of Liverpool arose and jumped upon his Grit colleagues by bringing to their notice that, last year, Haul-down-the-Flag Jones, of Halifax, had strongly supported the claims of Dartmouth to a post office. This was enough. Mce- Mullen & Co. sank back in their seats, ond the vote pissed immediately. During this debate Mr. Diavid Mills thorght he was getting off a smart thing at the expense of the Minister of Marine, when he said that the Government had constructed a large public building in the town of Pictou, and that the inhabitants were seriously con- sidering the propriety of abandoning their own houses and moving into that building to live. Mr. Tupper promptly squelched Mr. Mills by informing him that the Pictou Public Building was constructed by the Mackenzie Government, and that the chief ground on which Mr. Carmichael asked the electors of Pictou to return him as a Re- former and supporter of Mr. Blake in 1882 was because the Mackenzie Government had built the Custom House in that town.

Upon every item that came before them the opposition made a kick. When the ap- propriation for building a post office at Brandon, Manitobo, came up, they kicked hard, and Mr. McMullen made 9 speeches and Mr. Mulock 7. Then up rose big Bob Watson of Marquette and jumped on Mce- Muller. and Mulock, and told them to cease their carping and hold their tongues, as Brandon was an important and growing town and deserved a postoftice; and at Wat- son’s bidding McMullen and Muloch were dumb.

When the appropriation for maintaining the grounds around the public buildings in Ottawa was reached, the opposition again kicked. They declared that $7,000 was too much, and indeed it seems so. ‘The grass plots are fairly well kept, but the flowers cannot compare with Arthur Newbery’s There are more of them, certainly, tor they are scattered over « larger expanse of ground, but in artistic arrangement they are far behind. The compare with the Queen Square gardens as a very common rag mat, adorned with shrimp-pink dogs and sky-biuve cats, does with one of Perkins and Sterns’ Persian rugs. Mr. Davies pro- tested that the grounds were not so well kept as they used to be, and he severely criticized the gardener’s systems. Casey wanted to know if it was true that the con- servatury was maintained to provide flowers for the cabinet ministers’ dinner tables. Mr. Foster and Sir Adolphe Caron both dis- claimed any participation in the benefits of the conservatory. Admiral Welsh and Mr. Kent had no objections to the ministers getting flowers at the conservatory if they wauted them, as they were under obliga- tions to entertain, to which private mem- bers were not subjected.

The discussion over the appropriation for wood fuel forthe Public Buildings occu- pied only seven hours. The opposition kicked. They wanted to know all about the contract, and when they got the infor- mation they were not satistied. They were told that ex-Alderman John Heney was the contractor and had been for many years, even in Mr. MacKenzie’s time; that he was supplying wood at a cheaper rate per cord than he had done to the Macken- zie Government; that the wood was of good quality — it was no use,—still they kicked but at last, from sheer exhaustion,they gave up the fight.

I have taken the trouble to calculate the number of speeches some of the Grits made in supply last week, as follows: On Mon. day, McMullen, 18 speeches; Landerkin, 50; Watson, 45; Mills, 24; Casey, 25; Somerville, 19; Barron, 13;. On Tuesday, McMullen, 32; Watson, 28. On Wednes- day, McMullen, 36; Landerkin, 34; Wat- son, 48; Mills,9; Casey, 18; Somerville, 13; Barron, 22; Mulock, 48; Lister 7. On Thursday, McMullen, 30; Mills, 11; Casey, 6; Mulock, 42; Charlton, 52: Landerkin, 8; Barron, 34; Watson, 8.

I am not going to refer to the census figures further than to say that already the papers have numerous complaints from persons who say they were not enemurated, and | have persunal knowledge of several such instances,

Although there are some grumblers, it is

freely acknowledged by both sides that the Experimental Farm here is worth all that it has cost. The other day in the Agricul- ture and Colonization Committee, that uncompromising Grit, Mr. Bub Watson, of Marquette, stated that the experiments which had been made in grain alone had developed a wheat for the Nortwest which would be worth millions of dollars for this year alone. This important testimony was followed up by Mr. Trow, the chief Grit whip, who claimed that it was a thorough knowledge of Russian climatology which enabled Prof. Saunders to select Ladoga wheat for the Northwest. Mr. William Johnstun, of Ballykilbeg, member of the Imperial Parliament, and a high dignitary of the Orange order, who has been travelling in Canada for the last few weeks, was given a grand reception in the Opera House last Thursday evening, by his Uttawa brethren. Mr. John Welling- ton Hughes, of the Department of Rail- ways, who occupied a front seat (he de- clined an invitation to the platform) at the demonstration, expressed to me his ex- treme gratification with all that he saw and heard on the occasion. Sv that 1 have no doubt they had a good time

We have lots of Islanders in Ottawa just now. Saturday morning Imet a detach- ment of the ehvotists ; viz, Ewen Stewart, Mat Allan, Dr. Gillis, Henderson and Hooper. Laterin the day fell in with

Jas. Dover, now of Truro, and Capt. J. A. Longworth. On my wayto junch I saw Messrs George Pope and Allan Me- Neill on the same errand as myself; then I fell in with friend Hughes. Ou my road back, the first Islander | came across was the Italian who used to sell the toy balloons in Charlottetown—the self-same man, smoking the self-same cigarette. Then I met Vernon Longworth, and while I was talking to him along eame Father Picotte; after parting with them 1 saw Cam Owen, of the Ottawa Bank (son of Hon, L. C. Owen), and Tom Gorman, editor of the Free Press, getting along like a roller skater, while who passed me by but Green- wood, the organ-builder, “who lived’ in Charlottetown ten years ago, and put up St. Paul’s Church organ? Then inside the Parliament buildings we have our four senators and six members, all hard at work in the interests of their constituents. When Senator Montgomery was poorly last spring, after Senator Haythorne’e ‘death, I said nothing about it, for I do not like to be the bearer of bad news. Now 1 am glad to say that the old gentleman—he will pardon me for calling him so—never looked better since I have known him. He is smart and active and up to all that is going on. He dearly loves to meet an Islander and cannot shew one too much attention.

It is amusing—though rather cold-blooded— te read the respective claims made by the rival authors of the Life of Sir John Mac- donald. One gentleman advertises himself asthe nephew of Sir John Macdonald; of course he is a Scotchman who can count his cousins to the 32d generation. He is not Sir John Macdonald’s nephew, and his relation- sh'p to the deceased statesman consists in his. being the nephew of Sir John’s first wife, who died over 30 years ago.

A bet was made the other day as to which side, Conservative or Grit, could produce the 20 heaviest men. The result I give below, shewing the average weight to be iv favour of the Government. Iam bound to say that | think there should be a recount; I deubt very much if some of the gentlemen are as heavy as the figures allege :

Government— RK. R. McLennan 278 lbs., Earle 256, (a Riviere 254, Cleveland 272, Montague 243, Col Ty: whitt 230, Ives 227, Desjardins (L’Islet) 225, Putnam 224, Burn- ham 222, Haggart 220, J. A.
