Hditorial Notes.

~-Canadian reciprocity would be worth more to the United States, says the Philadelphia Record, than all the other reciprocities which we can hope to | arraoge for on this continent. It was a mistake co suspend the old arrangement. | {t isa blunder not to make a new one.

~Exports to West Indies from) Can:da, fiscal year 1882-3 were in| value $3,125,031, while the imports|

were valued at $4,569,260. Of our | exports to the British, French, Spanish, | aud Danish West Indies, $2,361 699! worth was products of our fisheries ; $415,203, of the the re- mainder, with the exception of $70,000) manufactured and miscellaneous goods, cousisted of avimals and dairy produce or of field products. The exports of New Brunswick thither amounted to only $106,000. Nova Scotia sent $2,855,000 worth, mainly fish. Quebec, about $43,- 000 worth. Ontario, animals and manu goods to the value of $13,400,

—The Guzette published is Loudon reports the arrival in England of large consignments of Canadian apples, aud says there is an excellent demand for them. To show the superiority of Canadian over the American apples the Gazette publishes the market prices of each ; but as the figures are in English currency, we reduce them to dollars and ceuts for the convenience of our readers:

the average prices of the Canadian | apples were much higher than those from

the United States.

- Mr. Stephens said in a late iuter-| view that as the outcome of his visit to) England the Cavada Pacific Railway | ‘irectors were satisfied of the possi-| bi ‘ty of making arrangements for the; provision of a service of steamers be- tween British Columbia and Japan. This could be dove either by arrange- mest with the existing compauies, or by having vessels built especially for their compauy. Which of these two courses would be adop'ed he was unable to say, a8 no decision would be come to

the point until after his return to atreal. Jiowever, it might pow be sidered certain that a service of ‘ners between the two points men- wed would be established as soon as Canada Pacific Railway was prepared mperate through traflic.

ou M cu tis th to

-Says a writer in The Weel: While the hotel-keepers and _ retailers of M+ntreal are booming their winter avuival, certain railway magnates look askance at their enterprise. One of these gentleman, an owner of many square miles in the Northwest, recently observed to an English visitor: ‘The trouble of all this ca: nival business is that it spreads the notion abroad that

Canada is au Arctic couotry. An hun- dred feet high is as poor ad-

vertisement for emigrants. Every man who sends his photograph to England must, even in July, with perspiration thick uvon him, dou fur cap and coat, and be sprinkled with salt in default of snow, lor the sake of picturesqueness. One of these Carnival collectors asked me for a subscription this morning, and { told him he could have tweoty-five dollars if he would get upa series of views next summer of people prostrated by sun-stroke ou St. James street. He left !”

—Au English correspondent writes:

‘*The German white book, just publish- ed, has been the sensation of the week. It shows that the German colonization of Africa has been virtually due to England's hauteur aud her posing as the natural pro tector and proprietor of all newly discover- ed countries. Bismarck demonstrates that if England had agreed to his first modest re- quest, that German traders be protected in the territories over which England claimed sovereignty, he would have been satisfied. When Enyland established such discrimin- ative laws as to prac ically keep her colonial merkets to herseif, Germany thought it was time to take a hend in the game, and she has dene so. These statements have pro- duced many bitter comments from the Eng- lich papers. The morning papers are full of them to-day, and their echoes are heard from the evening journals. The St. James’ Gazette states that on the 4th of February, 1885, Prince Bismarck asked Lord Granville whether the British foreign effiics would protect German traders in \nvlo-African settlements. Kighteen months after, England begged German pro- tection for Englishmen in Africa. The rticle concludes as follows: **So closes, for th. present, theignomisious chapter of-our

nial history. . The rebuff, although

ing to our pride, prejadieul to vur pres-

tive, and fatal to our interests, is thorough- ly well peserved. The German chancellor hew treated us with frac kness and even with ‘bearance. Everything which we have

to deplore is dne to Lord Granville’s pro- rastination and undecision which is now

e} onic.’

The New Orleans Exposition.

OPENED BY PRESIDENT ARTHUR BY TELE- GRAYH—NOVEL SPECTACLE IN WASH- INGTON.

WasHincoton, Dec. 16.—There was con- siderable delay in opening the exercises at the New Orleans exposition to-day. A large crowd of distinguished people gathered at the White House, and every arrange- ment was made forthe presenting of the opening address in appropriate style. The Presiaent took liis’ ‘piace at the telegraph station, and remained standing there surrounded by his cabinet for over haif an hour before the signal given that every- thing was in readiness was received by the telegraph operator. The signal was received at half-past two o’clock, and in a few moments the address of President Richerdson, of the exposition, was re- ceived. The address of Richardson was read by Commissioner General Morehead, and in reply President Arthor made a brief address, declaring the exposition open, which address was at once telegraphed to New Orleans. Remarks were then made by Senator Logan on hehalf of the congres- sional committee. At the close of hia re- marks the President touched the button of the instrumént at ten minutes past three o'clock, and started the machinery in the eXposition buildings.
