THE GREEKS AGAIN DEFEATED,

—,.

Tue last hope of the friends of Greece that she would be placed in a more advan- tageous position to negotiate a peace, as a result of some successful fighting at the last, seems to have been dissipated. Our despatches of to-day announce that her treops have, after a stubborn contest, been driven out of Domokos. The Greek sol- diery have fought bravely when called upon to do se. But they seem never to bave been called upom atthe right time or meder favorable circumstances. It is iimpessible to acquit the Greek authorities

“f mismanagement and bad generalship. Uf the reports ere correct the Greek soldiers went to ‘battle half starved, not because aihere was not food enough, but for lack of proper commissariat arrangements. Divi- ded counsels evidently prevailed. Inex- perienced and incapable men were given the command, and the Greeks who went to battle joyous and gallant, in the con- fident hope of victory over the infidels, have been decisively beaten. Their fate is another proof of the wisdom of the poet’s caution, “ Beware the entrance to a quar- rel.” While it is true that they have strong and sympathetic friends at their tack, the fact that they have been so completely overcome by the Turkish army tuust operate to their disadvantage when the heavy demands of Turkey are being,} considered,

UNION WITH NEWFOUNDLAND,

Having rendered his Province a notable service by correcting the errors of mem- bers of Parliament in respect to the P. E. Island railway and setting forth clearly and ably, our strong claims to railway extension, Mr. Martin has turned his atten- tion to the highly important Nationa] questionof Union with Newfoundland. | Men of all parties must agree with him that the early consummation of the pro- posed union is much to be desired. From che Imperial point of view it is important that the key to the doorway of British North America saould be in our great confedera-

tion. For the people of Newfeundland themselver: no change that we can imagine «would be more advantageous than admis- sion to Canada upon fair terms. Possessed of freedom of trade with Canada, the price of every necessary of life would come to them at areduced price and a stability would be given totheir trade and their commercial institutions which these can mever have while dependent merely upon the uncertain results of the cod and seal fisheries. So far as Canada is cou- cerned it is highly desirable that her territory should be rounded off by union with “ ye ancient colony.” The interests of the Empire at large, of Newfoundland in particular, and Canada as well, all lie in the direction pointed out by Mr. Martin, and we hope that the Liberal Government of Canada will follow Mr. Martin’s advice.

The news that Mr. H. C. McLeod is “o be general manager of the Bank of Nova Scotia, will be received with the greatest poseible pleasure by Mr. McLeod’s umerous friends in this Province, of which he is one of the talented rons.

Montreal Gazette: The objection to the plebiscite is not that the country is not ripe for prohibition, or that some revenue willbe lost by prohibition, but that the sthing,when it is taken, will be absolutely wortlilees. Noone who reads the report at Mr. Laurier’s remarks to the liquor trade vepreeentatives can believe that he is a @rehibitionist in principle. It is evident that, like nine-tenths of the members of «we Houseof Commons, he looks upon rprohibition as impracticabie, Do the pro- lhibitionists expect to get prohibition from parliament that is opposed to prohibi- tien? Would they look for free trade from & protectionist parliament, or for protection “rom a free trade parliament? In _ their illogical zeal for this plebiscite, it would &pprer that they would.

Ten thousand seashells out the wave Lie broken on the strand

For every one that yields its pear! To grace a monarch’s haud

Aud myriads of the forest throng Are born to bloom and fade

While one fair sapling towers aloft, The weasy traveiler’s shade.

So, in the higher range of life, Some merely live to die;

They venture not, or lay behind While others pass them by.

Thine was the ear to hear the ca!!, Thine was the nerve to do,

Thine was the brave and hopeful heart Which held the end in view.

Now thine the power to nobly wield The sceptre fairly wen ;

True patriot ! Helper of thy kind! Grand work, and grandly dune!

There are whom earth’s great honorings But dwarf or far outshine ;

Not ¢o with kim whose bro.ber love Doth nonor Love Diyine.

May lessons of thy bright career Out-glow on every heert ;

Tha’ all who share the gifts of Heaven May aim to act thy part.

And may thy hearty clasp of hand, Firm step and genial smile

Leave impress yet for many a day On fair Prince Edward Isle.

ESTEEMED EXCHANGES.

Ottawa Citizen: In 1894 Great Britain spent $2,667,000 in buying horses abroad, and of this amount $881,251 came to Canada. We would have a much longer share of the trade if farmers would improve tne quality of their wares.

Montreal Gazette: Speaking about pro* hibition, it is noted that when the prohibi- tion candidate was defeated in Winnipeg on the 27th ultimo, the chief prohibition journal rejoiced that another Liberal had been elected to Parliament to support Mr. Laurier. This sort of thing makes the antis smile.

Hamilton Spectator: “The trouble is not so much the increase in the tax on tobacco and ‘products. Increases of that

‘sort are adjustable, and the extra duty

comes out of the pocket of the consumer. The trouble lies in the fact that the bungl- ing tariff tinkers, in fixing the excise charges, have eo increased the same that it will be cheaper, as the tariff now stands, to import the manufactured article and pay the customs duty thao to bring the raw Jeaf and pay the excise duty. It is very unfortunate for Canada, and exceedingly unfortunate for the Tuckeit emploves and the citizens of Hamilton generaliv, that the fiscal management of the country has been put into the hands of a lot of ama- teurs.”

Dairy and Creamery.

No butter scored perfect at the Na- tional Creamery Butter Makers’ annual meeting at Owatonna, Minn. The high- est score for separator butter was made by H. M. Miller of Randolph, [a., who got the gold medal. His butter scored 98.5. It is to be noted that the prize butter from gathered cream did not score so high as the separator butter. The gathered cream butter scored only 96.16 points, and even then there were those who declared that the man who got the medal for it, Mr. Herman Bock of Minnesota, had a separator concealed somewhere about his creamery,

Now, in the beginning of spring, watch every. appearance of leek, rag- weed, wild garlic, wild parsnips, cam- omile or any other malodorous weed and root it out of your pastures. It will save your reputation as a milk producer.

The man whose herd of dairy cows averages, each for a year, 305 pounds 10 ounces of factory made butter, like- wise yielding milk and butter enough for all his family, feeding nine calves and leaving some milk to sell besides, has no reason tc complain. That ia what one up to date dairyman’s cows are doing.

If a cow is dried off too quickly when near calving time, part of her udder often inflames, thickens and afterward will not produce its due quantity of milk. This is what is known as defec- tive quarter. Frequent bathing with hot water attended by gentle rubbing and kneading of the defective part, will sometimes restore it to usefulness.

The milk rate war on routes leading into New York city has become subject for action by the interstate commerce cémmission. Certain railway lines have been in the habit of charging exactly the same freight on a can of milk ship- ped 90 miles as on one shipped less than 40 miles. The dairymen near New York complained that this was an injury to them. There was no way of -reaching. any of the roads except those passing through two or more states, as New Jersey and New York or Pennsylvania. These could be dealt with under inter- .¥ate commerce law, and they were thus orought to book. The commission de- cided that for distances less than 40 miles the proper freight charge was 23 cents per can of 40 quarts. For the sec- ond group of distances, over 40 and un- der 60 miles, a rate of 26 cents per can was fixed. For distances between 60 and 90 miles, 29 cents; over 90 miles, 32 cents. For cream 18 cents more per can is charged than for milk over all dis tances. —
