Notes and Comments.

—A special despatch to the Mail from Washington says: ‘Senator Aldrich’s pro- posed reciprocity resolution will probably pass the senate. The provision to the amendment is of especial interest to Can- ada and Canadian fishermen, as it proposes to lower the duty on fish exported from any

country where and as long as American

fishing vessels are admitted without res- traint to purchase supplies or bait, and land fish in bond to the United States.’

!

‘country: ‘* No country in the world is so \lightly taxed as Canada, in no country in the world is the working class as a whole in better circumstances and freer from poverty ; Canada stands before all the nations of Europe and Great Britain and her sister colonies in the matter of the smallness of her indebteness ; and Canada stands before even Great Britain as a mer- cantile maritime power in proportion to her population, having nearly twice as much tonnage per head as the Mother Country.”

—The Montreal Gazette remarks that the rumor of an early dissolution of Parlia- ‘ment, if it has done nothing else, has at least exposed the unwillingness of the Op- position to face the electorate. One might have supposed an immediate appeal to the people would be welcomed by our friends the enemy, whereas they are busily engaged finding reasons why Sir John Macdonald should meet Parliament again, and imploring the Governor-General not to allow the Premier to go to the country. A more remarkable case of want of self- confidence is seldom seen,

— Lord Boyle, the young Earl of Shan- non, formerly a rancheman in the Canadian Northwest, and a member of the Northwest council, hes taken possession of the estates which became his by the death of his father. His experience in America and the knowledge of human nature which he acquired in his wanderings have not been thrown away. The young Earl has been investigating the condition of his Irish tenantry, and intends to reside in Cork and manage his estates without the aid of middlemen. He says he is a thorough Irishman, and believes that tho prosperity of both people and landowners would be promoted if the latter would more generally reside on or near their estates, and make themselves part and parcel of the com- munity where their financial interests are located.

—The Montreal Star says of the auti- , Canadian legislation now being promoted in Washington and its probable effects on this country :—

| ** Whatever,the effect may be on this coun- try at the outset, it cannot be permanently injurious. When notice was given by the United States fer termination of the old reci- procity treaty, fears were entertained that ruinous disturbance, perhaps disaster to our commerce would follow. But, though there was a short period of uneasiness, our people soon settled down to the changed conditions, found new ways for enterprise, turned their cnenee into other channelssgand managed to get along about as well without reciprocity as they did with it. This experience has had the effect of calming any apprehensions on the score of American legislation hostile to Can- ada. We, as a people would prefer that things were otherwise, but if it must be so, so be it. The — urgency of other ques- tions will largely depend on the results of the coming commercial change. But Canada is no longer a poor colony. er status has vastly improved since last the United States polt- ticians sought to punish her for not accepting opinions manufactured at Washington.

| —It seems to be a matter of some doubt

whether the State of Mississippi hasthe right that belongs to all, or nearly all, her sister States, to attach an educational or property qualification to the right of suffrage. When ‘the State was reconstructed, in 1869, Con- ' gress compelled her to incorporate in her constitution a section fordidding any pro- /perty or educational qualification. The ‘question will arise whetherthe constitution- al convention recently elected will have the ‘power to rescind this section without the ‘consent of congress. As several States, Massachusets among them, have education- al and poll tax conditions of suffrage, it is | not likely that congress would forbid Miss- .issippi to copy these qualifications into her new constitution, provided, of course, that no distinction of race is allowed. Mississ- ippi may conclude, in her anxiety to do away with negro suffrage, to suffer the for- feit prescribed by the federal constitution, and give up half her political power in the Electoral College and in thenational House of Representatives. But the negroesthem- selves are to vote upon the acceptance of the new constitution, whatever it may be, and if they express a willingness to give up the ballot, having the power to retain it if they please, they will show themselves un- worthy the name of freemen. We do not believe they will show such pusillanimity, ifa chance is given them to vote fairly and freely.

Prince Bismarck, at a luncheon at which several Swiss officials wereamor.g the guests, declared that in the event of war Germany would respect Swiss neutrality.

Jonathan Hart Groves owns a large watermelon patch at Hillsboro’, ILll., and ‘has a chronic fear of the melon thief. Mon- day night he loaied a big duck gun with a heavy charge of shot and gave the weapon to his twelve-year-old son with instructions to watch the patch till day-break and shoot ‘anyone he saw init. The old man wonder- ed if the boy was ‘‘dead game” and whether he would really shoot. Jonathan then dressed himself and sneaked into the melon patch. He was just on the point of devouring a luscious melon when the boy emptied both barrels into the old man's y- He may die.

Emperor William has declared that the next birthday uf Count von Moltke shall be kept as a national holiday. The famous strategist was born October 29th, 1800, at Parchim, Mecklenburg.

A Dubuque, Iowa, despatch says Mra, A. L. Stevenson, of this city, anda brother residing in Chickasaw county wili become heirs to an estate in Ireland worth §$9,- 00,000. Their father, aged 87, has just fallen heir to it.

The number of British yachts has in- creased to 3,006, of which 723 ars steamers, the total tonnage being 132,480. The firsc cost of these pleasure craft is set down at $25,000,000, and their annual maintonance at $5,000,000, with as much more for de- preciation. ;

The British national debt, according to the latest statistics, amounts to £684,954,16, as against £693,989,633 last year. It is be- ing slowly but steadily decreased. Ten years ago it was £739,501,605; twenty years ago £783,806,836, and in 1857, after the Russian war, £826,696,661. Large as the indebtedness is, public men in England do not make the same use of the figures as some of our Canadian politicians do with our debt.

A curious dispute is proceeding in South Germany as to the relative rumerical im- portance of different religions. Usually in such cases religious bodies boast of their own growth, but in South Germany Pro- testants aver that Roman Catholics are rapidly increasing, and the latter say the same of the former. They declare that in the grand duchy of Baden, where Catholic- ism has always been predominant, a change is taking place. In 1846, to every 1,000 of the population, there were 316.8 Protes- tants, in 1885 there vere 354 to the thou- sand,

If the locust has been conspicuously ab- sent for many years as a source of trouble in western Canada and the United States, it has been otherwise in the old world. In Algeria, its ravages during the present year and for several years past have attained the proportions of a national calamity, and around Nimes in the south of France the vines and mulberries are reported as ser- iously injured by these insects, which, it is locally believed, have been carried by south winds across the Mediterranean.

In view of the experiments now being made in Canada in the use of carrier pigeons and the proposed organization of a society for the development of this means of com- municatfon, it is of interest to note that recently the prizes offered by the French minister of war for the swiftest bird in a flight from Periguex to Paris, a distance of 310 miles, was won by a bird maxing a re- cord of seven hours and thirty-four minutes, or an average of nearly 41 miles per hour. There were 2,746 entries in the compe- tition.

The aid the electric light renders to navi- gation is nowhere better exemplified than on the Suez Canal. Prior to March, 1887, the privilege of using the lights was re- stricted to vessels carrying the mail. Since then a rapidly increasing number of vessels have submitted to the reguiations governing the use of the lights, and last year the num- ber was 2,445. The average time taken in the passage of the canal by these vessels was only 224 hours, and as the average time of al vessels including these was 25 hours and 50 minutes, the gain in time effected threngh electric lighting is seen to have been very great indeed.

No decision has yet been made by the Archbishop of Canterbury in the case of the Bishop of Lincoln, brought before him for illegal ritualistic practices. The decision is awaited with great interest, as it may have very important effects upon the church of England. A London correspondent hazards a guess at the result of the archbishop’s consideration : ** It is understood, how- ever, that he is ready to sanction the east- ward position, the use of two lights only on the altar, but not of the lights on the steps of the altar, and the singing of the Benedictus before and the Agnus Dei efter the prayer of consecration. He will, it is imagined, condemn the use of incense as a ceremonial'adjunct, and the use of the mixed chalice.” :

The notion that the moon has a percepti- ble influence on the weather has hitherto been unsupported by any scientific evidence. In fact, what observations have been made on the subject have contradicted the old popular opinion. But Mr. G. Meyer, a German meteorologist, now announces that a study of synoptic charts, after eliminating local influences, results in the discovery that the moon from September to Jenuary lowers the height of the barometer when at the full, and raises it during the first quarter. As Mr. Meyer finds that neither this nor any other effect is not observed in the other months of the year, it may be that the phenomena appearing to belong to autumn and early winter months might not be dis- covered on a more extensive series of obser-

vations.
