seheittithtS ennecininata The Buropean War Cloud. me

Tu clouds of war which always hang over Europe are thickeviug portentously in two directions ;

1. The French Chamber has passed a vote of confidence in the Ferry Ministry. This is regarded by the representatives of Chiua as the first step towards war ; and it seems probable that the forces of China will soon enter Tonquin. It is reported that great activity prevails in the arsena!s at Toulon, that fresh tran- sports have been ordered to be in readi- mess for use, and that the members of the Chinese Legation in France are | seriously considering the question of demanding their passports. It is signifi- cant that M. Challemel Lacour has re- signed the office of Minister of Foreign Affairs because he has “ publicly iv- timated his belief that a foreign power—- namely, Enogland—has been urging China to resist France.”

2. The complications between Ger- many and Russia afford serious ground for alarm—that is if our advices are re- liable. It is stated that the Government at Berlin is greatly incensed on account of the action of the Russian authorities in massing such large numbers of Cos- sacks on the frontier, and that the cabinet is seriously considering the ad- visability of at once preparing and for- warding a uote to the Russian govern- ment, demanding an explanation of this sudden movement of troops. The Schlesische Zeitung says that Germany will not be satisfied with mere assurance of pacific intentions on the part of the Czar and M. de Giers, prime minister of Russia. On the other hand, it is stated that there is no evidence of pacific in~ tentions beyond the bare declaration that Russia is peacefully disposed; and the massing of Cossack troops on the Ger- mano frontier aud the uvrestrained Pan- alavic agitations in Poland are strongly

variance with such professions. As

it is “the situation” istteOrestin g.

Editorial Notes.

mr

—A Summerside correspondent of the Monetary Times writes: ‘*Weavant you to understand that our Island is the garden of America, and our people are not fed on potatoes and smelts, but on the contrary we have plenty of the best mution, beef, and mackerel on earth.” Oo which the Times remarks that “Barnum ought to be after this man.”

—Speaking at the recent National League Convention, Paruell said that as a geueral election was approaching it was ofthe utmost importance that the league organization should be ruled by a body possessing the confidence of the branches and dominated by the same policy, consisting of a small number of men. Mr. Parnell then proposed a resolution to thai effect, and nominated the seven members of the Irish Parlia- mentary Party to form the ‘ éxecutive, with Mr. T. P. ©C’Connor, M. P., as President.

—The troubles in Ireland do not seem to be over yet. Recently Orangemen have eviuced a spirit of great hostility to the nationalists and threaten that if the latter invade Ulster, as they have originally resolve® to do, there will be war between them, and as in all such conflicts, the best party wins. The following address, which is ouly one of many, serves to give an idea of the determined and warlike spirit of the Orangemen of Ireland. ‘No surrender.” —To the Orangeman of Fermanagh— The rebel association for murder and outrage having been defeated in Tyrone, has invaded Fermanagh. Come in your thousands to Roslea on Tuesday, 16th, to protest against Repeal, Home Rule, Universal Suffrage, and the disruption of the British Empire, by the defenders of the dynamite and dagger conspirators. Ut Probavi. ‘God save the Queen.”

The advance of the Southern States in material improvement and prosperity in recent years has been remarkable. Not only have lands advanced greatly in assess- ed value since 1880, and the railroad mile- age in the same period increased 8,789 miles,or one-fourth the increase of the whole union, but the increase of manufacturing interests has been startling. This is best shown in regard to cotton mills. In the four states of Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina, in 1880 there were 128 wills, with 451, 601 spindles and 9,509 looms; in 1883 there were 150 mills, with 826.751 spindles and 14,978 looms, an increase of over 60 per cent. jn barely three years. And these mills pay from 15 to 20 per cent. on the capital in- vested, which hut few of their competitors in New England and the Middle States can equal.

These gentlh man all farm on @ large a scale, and nearly every autumn load veesels and sell in the market abroad.

The allusions made by ‘‘Rambler’” in

your last issue to Mr, Crane were entirely uncalled for. Although a strong Conterva- tive and a keen and powerful logician, his aspirations were never of so lofty a charac- ter as to represent the people in Parlia- ment.

On the farm adjoining Mr. C.’s on the east, is situated the comfortable dwelling house of Mr, Peter Carrier, who is one of those farmers that believe in keeping up to the times. His stock of horses, cattle and sheep are always the best. Some time ago he sold a fine Durham Steer to Mr. McGregor Butcher, Lot 48, and it beat anything of its age in the record of P. E. Island.

A grievance felt severely in this part of the country, is the wapt of a Post Office. Why do we not have one? I see by late papers that new Post Offices are being established in other parts of the Island; still we are left in the lurch. The people should stand up and assert their rights.

Mr. George Crane, the energetic and obliging ferryman, is always at his post in sunshine and storm, dispensing kind words to the weary, and sunny smiles to all. Although he gets ‘‘soaked” pretty often, like the Chinese, he never loses his equani- mity, but takes everything cooly. Mr.

Joun M. MacLezop, Presbytery Clerk. OE - The Export of Live Stock.

One of Westmorland’s heaviest local deal. ers in live stock, Mr. John Avard, of Bots- ferd, was in Moncton on Saturday last. A Transcript reporter had some conversation with him about his business this season, which is given below:

teporter— What has been the extent of your shipment in stock this year?

Mr. A.—I have shipped three thousand sheep and lambs, three hundred cattle and a number of horses.

Reporter— Where was the stock purchased principally ¢

Mr. A.—In Prince Edward Island. The stock I spoke of a moment ago was all Island stock. Ido almost all my buying on the Island.

teporter—Will you make any more ship- ments this fall ?

Mr. A.—I expect to bring over about one thousand more sheep, and probably some produce.

teporter— Where did you dispose of the anima!s /

Mr. A—The cattle were all for St. Johr and Miramichi dealers. The horses and sheep all went to Boston, except 800 sheep which were sent over to England, by some Sackville men as an experiment.

Reporter—How do prices range for stock and produce?

Mr. A—Prices are fair. I have nut bought any great quantities of produce yet this yea. The prices in live stock are about tie sani as last year.

Reporter~Has the export this season from the Island in animals and produce been heavy thus far!

Mr. A.—The number of horses purchased on the Island this year for the American markets is something inimense—it must run up well into the hundreds, Great quan- tities of farm produce is being shipped now in sailing vessels, and the steamers also have carried away considerable.

AGRICOLA, China Point. Nov. 6, 1883. - ae - Long Creek Notes.

Potato hauling and shipping seems to be the order of the day. Messrs, Farquharson & Stewart are running their starch factory at full blast; yet they cannot keep apace with the farmers who are hauling potatoes. So great is the rush some days that farmers have the dissatisfaction of hauling their loads home again.

Mr. Hogh McMillan has loaded several vessels at the bridge this fall; but there seems to be very little ready money on the move, and farmers are rather at a los#what to do with their potatoes to turn them into cash.

On halloweve night a practical and rather annoying joke was played on ‘Mr. Paul McPhee, an enterprising farmer of this locality. Some miscreants entered his cabbage garden through the silent hours of the night and left him minus of 200 head of fine cabbage. Night prowlers of this discription should be brought to justice.

About twelve or fifteen days ago a resi- dent of this vicinity, named John Oldfield, suddenly made his disappearance, and although every possible enquiry has been made, no traces of his whereabouts have hitherto been found. Information from anybody that will lead to his discovery will be thankfully received. A considerable uneasiness is being felt with regard to his safety.

Cape ‘lraverse Notes.

Everyone speaks highly of the work being done on the wharf, and the work is going on rapidly. Mr, Connor, the foreman, thinks the situation very good for a first rate little harbor. The day, probably, is not far distant when the Capes will become the mail and passenger route, summer as well as winter.

Ye hear the mails are taken from the ‘St. Lawrence,” and she is not allowed to carry & passenger under a penalty of four hundred dollars. People, no doubt, would prefer the ‘‘St. Lawrence” to the ‘‘Sum- merside.” It seems strange that passengers, when two boats are running, are not allowed to make a choice. Has some one discovered a rotten spot in her, and said she is not safe to carry mails and pas- sengers? It is rather a shabby way of dis- posing of so good a man as Captain Evans, and his noble crew. At one time, for a number of years, Captain Evans did the whole work of the Jsland—between Char- lottetown, Pictou, Summevside and Shediac, He was run day and nigl:*, and almost run blind. These were good old Conservative times, very much like the present. Busi- ness was brisk, money plenty, and people were moving. Captain Evans is yet an energetic man, the public have still every confidence in him, and why should he be treated in this way !
