ket. It is also clear to me that the trade theory of Britain is right, thoughit does not follow that no exceptions can ever be allowed or that there are no relative degrees of right- ness. It is wrong in principle to limit trade to an Island or a continent. At any rate, as far as we make changes, let us head in the direction of what is right, and not of what is wrong—not only in regard to the lines on which changes should be made in our tariff, but in other respects also. Our policy must be decided. Since our neighbors will not trade with us, we must do everything in reason te open the avenues of trade, not only with Britain, but with related countries. Commercial treaties with the West Indies on ore side and Australia on the other, a fast steamship service across the Atlantic, the deepening of the St. Lawrence canals, a cable and a line of steamships to Australia and New Zealand, a railway to Hudson's bay, are all moves in the right direction.
“*But, while we may notagree on details, let us be as one on fundamental principles. There are matters of unspeakably greater importance to a people than the volume of its imports and exports or anything that can bo tabalated fn the most roseate-colored and mos’ carefully prepared statistics
‘* Not by these things does a country live. A country lives and lives in history by what its people are. Very litule thought did the men who made Casada give to tariff questions. They were men who lived simple lives, and no privations shook their hearts of oak. Everything we have we owe to them, and the more firmly we stand on their foundations and get back to their simpler manners, robust faith and sincere patriotism, the better for us. We are living ina critical period. We need strong and true men. These wiil be given us if we are worthy of them. Let us take our stand on what is right, without any fear of consequences.”
-_—_ - —-——- Notes and Comments.
- We agree with the Truro Sun that the Dominion Illustrated this week is of more than ordinary interest to Maritime Proviuce people. It contains a page of illustrations relating to the recent tennis tournament at Truro, with a brief account of the tourna- ment, reviews of two books by Maritime Province authors, and a very interesting short story contributed by John Mahony, a St. John writer of more than ordinary promise. All departments of the paper are fully up to the standard,
—Huntington Gleaner (Liberal): The faet that products imported from newhere else than Ganada and the Motherland are singled out for specially heavy duties, shows that the McKinley bill is more than a business measure; that it is a hostile demonstration against everything British, To try and trade with with a neighbor that is persist- ently and offensively unfriendly is to court insult, and the right course for Canada to pursue is to show by her conduct that she is not to be bullied into annexation, and that she cannot only live but prosper, al- though her American cousin slams the door in her face.

Echoes of the Great Gale.
The Amherst Record says: The aschr. Annie Florence, Jos. Peters, master, lies high and dry at Northport, where she was driven ashore by the gale on Sunday, after parting chains and losing both anchors. The vessel arrived off Northport on Satur- day morning, but could not enter the channel on account of the absence of some of the outer buoys, which had been driven ashore by the storm of the previous Mon- day. The vessel brought from Summer- side 30 fat cattle and 25 lambs for T, P. Lowther, who was on board, and there was another man besides the Captain. Finding the wind increasing they put the cattle overboard, and let them swim to the shore, about half « mile distant, and took the lambs in the boat. The Captain and mate stood by the vessel until Sunday morning at 7, when they pulled for the shore in their boat, which was swamped on the way, but they managed to cling to it, and were waft- ed ashore. P. R. Baker, Summerside, is managing owner of the vessel. The im- portant question as to why the buoys had not been replaced calls fur explanation.
The barkentine Cleopstra was driven ashore on the bar at Hardy’s Channel, Lot 11, on Tuesday afternoon, and has become a totol wreck. The Cleopatra is registered in Buenos Ayres, and was lumber-laden, The crew were saved with great difficulty.
Personal.
T. J. Cummiskey, Esq., of Fort Augustus, is in town to-day en route for British Colam- bia, to occupy a position on the C. P. R. Mr. Cummiskey has spent three years in the upper country of Brit’h Columbia, and is there well and favorably known.
The Rev. Charles Perry, the Grand Organ- izer of the L. O. A., B. A., arrived at Sum- merside on Wednesday evening last. He is giving lectures through the western section of the Island during the balance of the week. Mr. Perry will preach in the Methodist Brick Church here on Sunday evening next. All interested would do well to hearhim. On Monday ovening Mr. Perry will lecture at Pownal.

News Notes.
The Paris correspondent of the London Chronicle says a private ‘cspatch received there from Havre states chat Dillon and O’Brien have landed on the coast of Brit- tany, and are journeying to Paris.
The Farmer states that the Messrs. J. W. and J. Richards’ new vessel, the Ramona, which sailed from Bideford for Miramichi last week, happily got to her destination before the storm came on. Had she been in the Straits in the middle of the gale, without doubt she would have been strand- ed. A number of men from Bideford were on board of her on the trip across.
A ledging house keeper in the famous Whitechapel district of Lendon claims that it was at her house that ‘Jack the Ripper” lived during his sanguinary escapade. The woman, who is known to the police to be conducting a thoroughly respeetable place, says that a young man camo to her house and engaged a bedroom, stating that he had been to sea, that he did not not work at all, but was in receipt of an allowance from his father of £1 per week, and that his bro- ther, a physician, gave him a further al- lowance. He had a great quantity of clothing. He was irregular in his hours of guing and coming, and slept till afternoon. She had seen pieces of flesh and _ biood- stained articles. She is convinced he is ‘* Jack the Ripper.” He left suddenly.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
A Defence.
Sir, —The most fanatical portion of the tempernnce party have brought out their juggernaut and with its ponderous wheel they are prepared to erush all who cannot see eye to eye with them in matters of re- form. The Guardian publishes a list of the names of all who had the courage to append their names to the petition for the revocation of the Scott Act. But not satis- fied with this philanthropic endeavor, the editor wishes to convey a false impression, designedly so, for when he placed in large type at the head of the list, ** Five hun- dred men who want license,” he must have known that he uttered a malignant false- hood. The petitioners desire a reform in the truest and most feasible manner. They have seen the unworkableness of the Scott Act, and only ask that a trial be had of another measure which they feel would lessen the evil of intemperance. Many of them would, should the opportanity offer, vote for prohibition. Ifthe supporters of the Scott Act wish to be respected they must respect the motives of others and not resort to unlawfal weapons.
A SIGNER Ch’town, Oct. 17. An Oddfellows Complaint.
Srr,—I cannot but express my sincere regret that our esteemed Grand Master should have thought fit to sign the rum- sellers petition. Asa private citizon Mr. Chappelle can do as he pleases, and he generally does ; but I claim that he has no right to lower the high standard of Odd- fellowship in this manner. What an ex- ample to set before-the brethren! Will the Grau Master please rise and explain? An indignant member of
