AGRICULTURAL WORKS!

Good Work Triumphant!

OTWITHSTANDING the Dull Times, the demand for my make of Carriages, Sleighs. Threshing Machines, Fanners, «c., in King’s County, has rendered it necessary, in order to supply the rapidly increasing demand, that I should extend my business into that County. I have, therefore, at the request of a large number of my friends and pétronus, opened a BRANCH FACTORY AT CARDIGAN BRIDGE, which is conducted by a competent mechanic, who served his time ip the *‘ Nonpareil,” and has since worked for several years in the United States—a mechanic who knows his business. and has such an interest in the work as to allow nothing but a faithful job to pass. He and several competent workmen will attend to the wants of the public in that County.

The stock used in the construction of the work will be of the best imported, viz :— Amer‘can Hickcry, Oak. Ash, Elm, Bass, Whitewood, ete., etc. The iron will be of the best English retined; aud Norway and Swedish iron will be used for the parts re quiring extra strength and durability. — ,

Also, in connection with the said branch is a PAINTSHOP, which is conducted bya first-class curriage-painter, who will attend to the painting of new and second-hand work for the public.

N. B.—Persons wishing work done in the Carriage, Sleigh, or Farming Implement line, will please call.and they wil! be treated

WHAT THEY SAY IN ENGLAND,

Some few weeks ago, in concluding a re= view of Lord Dafferin’s speech to the peo« ple of British Coiumbia at Victoria, Van. couver’s Island, we expressed some curi~ osity as to the probable nature of the coms ments of the English press on the subject, feeling assured that the British journals would not approve of the course taken by His Excellency, who perhaps too chivals rously came forwaid to the defence of his sorely beset Ministers,

The verdict of the English press has proved to be exactly in accordance with our anticipations. The leading journals of ail shades of political opinion have spoken on the question, and with ah unanimity which js remarkable, have come to the same cons clusion, namely, that Lord Dufferin’s de- fence of his Ministers has failed to relieve them of the charges of bad faith in their dealings with the inhabitants of the Pacific“ Province in relation to the Railway ques. tion. This is the opinion of the Liberal Daily News and Daily Telegraph; the Inde- pendent Liberal M’ali Mall Gazette; the Conservative Standard, and the Tory Saturs ay Review. The only leading journal which remains silent on the ‘subject is the Times. ‘Thus we find the Grit Govern- ment condemned by the journals which contribute most largely to the formation of public opinion in England? one of which newspapers—the Telegraph, which is in political accord with Mr. Mackenzie, and therefore not at all likely to do him any in. justice — uses strong language in condemna. tion of his personal conduct in the matter. That very able journal says: ‘It is idle to ‘ask the citizens of Victoria to believe that ‘‘Mr, Mackenzie had nothing to do with ‘ the repudiation of his proposed com- * promise, in the face of the fact that he has “been at pains to bestow “high favors on ‘s those who were prominent in quashing it.’ Certainly, the entrance of Mr. Blake into the Cabinet following the defeat of the Nanaimo and Esquimault railway Bill in the Senate, the fact that the measure was not introduced at the last session of Par- liament, and the further fact that Mr. Mills, a bitter opponent of the entire scheme of union with British Columbia, has been made a member of the Administra- tion, all go to confirm the charges of bad faith which have been urged against Mr. Mackenzie. We have no wish to judge the Premier harshly in this connection, but we must say that his actions, which ferm the ground of judgement against him, are largely confirmatory of the charges made in this connection, even if they may -not be regarded as conclusive proof on the point. The first Minister is thus placed in a pasition, which isin the highest degree unenviable, and from which he will find es- cape exceedingly difficult. Should he prove to be guilty of what is charged against him, it will, however, be but a repes tition of his course in othermatters, notably the appointments to vacancies in the mili- tary staff. Canada can scarcely submit with patience to be ruled by a government whose head has been guilty of such offences as are charged against Mr. Mackenzie, therefore his attention must be devoted to the task of clearing himself from the im-~ putations cast upon his personal honor, or his expulsion from office will not leng be delayed.

THE EMPRESS OF INDIA.

[From the London Times, |

Every mail from India now brings intel - ligence of the preparations which are being made for the proclamation of the Queen on New Year’s day as Empress of India. The title is to be promulgated in a manner and with circumstances which willat once etamp its political significance and satisfy native sentiment. Nothing will be wanting to give reality and splendor to the occasion.

Arrangements, we doubt not, are being made to receive the princes and chiefs and other native notables with the highest cis - tinction. They should be the guest of the Viceroy and entertained at the cost of the state while at Delhi. The Ist of January, it bas been announced, is to be kept asa holiday and festival throughout India. The proclamation is to be simultaneougly made in every civil and military station through- out India, and the native and European trouns are to be granted a special allowance as on the Queen's birthday.

jf it was a Mogul Emperor or Mahratat Peishwar who was to be proclaimed, large. donat ons would be made te the poor, and on 60 special an occasion we might very profitably follow their example. The money should not be flung away in indiscriminate charity, but be applied to the building of native rest houses and hospitals. Special presents from the Queen should, and no doubt will, be made to the leading native

princes and chiefs, symbols of their quasi- feudal relation to the Empress of India and of her protecting power, which would be handed down from father to son as the most reverend of the family heirlooms The opportunity is a great one, and can never return, and must not pass away leav~ ing in their minds only the memory of an unsubstantial pageant.

THE EASTERN QUESTION—THE DERBY POLICY LIKELY TO TRIUMPH.

It would seem afterall that Lord Derby’s proposals for the settlement of the Eastern Question, at least for the present, are likely to be adopted by all concerned, and carried out under the supervision of the six powers. The territorial integrity of Turkey is, apparently, to be maintained, and guarantees for the better Government of the Turkish Christians secured without the intervention of foreign armies of occu- pation. Should these indications be ful- filled, a great revolution in British public sentiment will follow in regard to the | general course pursued by the Disraeli Go. vernment relative to the Turkish troub'es, and an immense amount of denunciatory

ment will be seen to have been needlessly and unprofitably expended ,— News,
