MISCHIEF MAKERS.
Tue spirit that should domiaate the
people of all countries, at all seasons, is that which is contained in the Divine ia-
Good Will Unfortunately, this fee!-
junction, “Peace on Earth Towards Men.” ing does not always prevail. A mischief- making spirit seems to constitute a large portion of the make-up and outfit of many people. The delight of people so consti- tuted is to make things as unpleasant as possible for those with whom
in contact, to foment
they come any bad feeling which may exiat between individuals. What is true of individuals in this reapect, may be said to apply with equal force to nations. The representatives of the people in parliament are, perbaps, the greatest offenders along thie line; and a_ portion of the press must share in the lame. For political purposeejthese politicians and these newspapers gay things they should not say, and leave unsaid things whieh they should say; they give utterance to just sufficient truta to bolster up their own case, which, in many instances, is a bad ove. Their utterances are in not a few cases of an inflammatory character, intend- ed for passing effect only, and are usually treatei hy intelligent persons with the contempt they deserve. In tome cases, however, they have a disastrous effect. They are taken hold of by people whose perceptive powers are not sufficiently de- veloped to grasp their full meaning, and the effect is far-reaching. Pecple and newspapers of thix clase should be frowned down, and their efforts to promote atrife discouraged. A more moderate view of life and its affairs should be taken, and the temper of men and nations alike should be curbed. The Right Hon. James Bryce, at the banquet recently given to tne British Association 10 Toronto, gave expressica to an idea which is worthy of reproduction. Referring to the spirit of jingoism which prevails he said :
“These jingoes in all countries sre fond of making mischief. Some of them do it in mere recklessness of heart. Some of them, I am afraid, do it from less credit- able motives, in the belief that they can make some petty political capital out of it. But beyond all these noisy, querulous, and quarrelsome voices there stands in Great Britain— there stands, I am no less sure, in the United States also—the great, solid, sensible mass of the nation which desires peace and tranquility, which desires to attend to its business, and desires not to have it disturbed or shaken by rumors of ware; the great mass which desires to fear God and honour the sovereign, whether the sovereign be called a Queen or Presi- dent. And I trust that in all three coun- triea this great solid and weighty mass of responsible national opinion will prevent these noisy voices from ever provoking real danger between these kindred peo- ples. ”
The idea thus set forth is an excellent one, and this werld would be the better if
it were the creed of al] countries.
NOTES AND COMMENTS
—Having gained power by questionable mean, Sir Wilfrid Laurier ie now desirous that political strife shall cease. His gov- ernment ought to be very careful not to commit acts calculated to arouse strife. But many of its acts have, so far, been outrages.
—The Mail and Empire thinks that the welcome to Sir Wilfrid should be prolong- edas much as possible as it will be decidedly unpleasant for him after consort- ing with the staterment, of England to diecuss the various jobs and deais that his colleagues have prepared for his endorsa- tlobD.
—The Dominion Government are in- troducing the spoils system into every arm of the service. Even the military is 1in- cluded, Lieutenant Pellitier,son of the Speaker cf the Senate, has just been given full command of the militia in the dis- trict of Quebec, and has been placed over officers who have been his seniors for
“years.
—Ata late bour yesterday afternoon a protest was filed against the election of Mr. John Kickham, inthe First District of King’s County. The grounds alleged are corrupt practices, and the petitioner is Hon. James K. McLean, the Commissioner of Public Works. It is a good eign of the times when men like Mr.McLean show a desire to put down corrupt practices at It shows that while there’s
life there’s hope.
{ violence to his

Jobn Perry refused to swear that no intimidetion had been Lrought to bear upou him by the Liberals, and he shared a similar fate.”
10 SWeal
To dismiss an employe of the Dominion Government because he refused to commit perjury in a Provincial election,—surely thos is carrying the epoils system much too
far!

ESTEEMED EXCHANGES.
Mail and Ewpire: [he Government has not as yet admitted Spain to the tariff preference. What has Spain done?
Mail and Empire: Mr. Blair has super- annuated the Irtercolonial storekeeper, T. V. Cooke, for old age. He ia 49. Mr. C. R. Palmer succeeds Mr. Cooke. He is 64.
The new tariff regulations are not giving satisfaction. The St. John Globe (Liberal) says editorially: “ lhe customs authorities wou'!d do well to have the whole matter of material entries under the reciprocal or prefereniial clause made as simple as possible. There is complaint in St. John that the custome officials are not sati«fied with the ordinary evidence which would satisfy anyone else that goods coming from Germany are really German goods, but that much extratrouble has to be takea to prove a case already very clear.”
Advances in canned vegetables and pickles are reported. A+ Montreal firin has refused to take any more orders for lard at present prices.
Economy and strength are combined in Hood’s Sarsaparilla. Every bottle con- tains 100 doses, aod will avefage to last a month.

GAS WORKS CHANGE HANDS,
The Aver Light—Heating by Gas to be
Introduced} jinto Charlottetown,
The gas works at the eastern end of the city have been wold to Mr. H. R. Lordley,C KE. of St. John, fora new syndicate made up of Maritime Province capitalists, a number of whom belong to Charlottetown. The price paid, it is understood, is in the neighborhood of $13,000.
The plant is to be remodeled immediate- ly and the business extended to do light- ing by the Auer light, and to provide for the introduction of the London system of supplying ges cooking apparatus by rental. The automatic siot meter will be used, by means of which a customer may obtain gas at apy time upon pasting a coin in the siot.
rhe sapplying of gas cooking apparatus has become very poputar wherever intro- auced, and will probably be looked upon with favor by the people of Cuarlottetown. {t is certainly a great convenience, espec- ally during the warm weather,
