Crops and Crop Propeets.

By the end of this week the hay crop of this Province will have been secured,—in excellent condition. It is a better crop than that of last year, but, on the whole, rather thin, in view of the fact that the season has been very favorable. Some of the fields yield well—we have seen exception- ally heavy clover—showing that the cause of the general thinness lies in the cultiva- tion and not in the season, and that the ‘‘oreat majority” of our farmers have something to learn about the preparation of the soil for hay. There can be no doubt that many farmers have used too much mussel mud and not enough stable manure; and it may be that the failure to obtain a full crop of hay in a favorable year is due to this fact.

There is a prospect of excellent crops of potatoes, turnips, wheat, oats and barley.

Complaints that the growing wheat is thin are heard from some quarters. But unless the remainder of the season proves to be unfavorable, the yield of wheat will be fully up to the average, with a larger acre- age than usual under crop. As to the oats, the area sown was not so large as in former years, but the yield per acre will probably be above the average. The same remark may be made in respect to barley.

The country is looking remarkably well —especially in the well-cultivated districts —and is greatly admired by the stranger- tourists who come amongst us. It would look still better if every farmer had his buildings painted or whitewash- ed, and his premises adorned with hedga-rows and trees. A _ little more attention to a tidy and comfort- able appearance of things roundabout the homesteads of our jpeople, would add materially tothe attractiveness and (prac. tically) to the wealth of the province.

The Behring Sea Trouble.

Tue recent seizure of a schooner in Behr- ing Sea will revive the ‘tunpleasantness” of the two preceding seasons. This unpleas- antness must recur year after year until the preposterous claim of the United States has been satisfactorily disposed of. It will, of course, be found impossible to keep Behr- ring Sea as a close preserve for a company of United States monopolists. Subject to the rule of the three-mile limit, the fisher- men and sealers of the British Empire, and those of other maritime nations, can never be satisfied with anything short of equal rights in an open sea.

The question is one which can easily be settled by reference to the Law of Nations. If the United States refuse to be bound by that law, the sooner we know it the better. They may, presuming upon their numerical

strength, have determined to maintain their claims in spite of law. and justice; or they may claim

be merely ‘* playing a game of bluff,” ready to recede from sheir untenable postion the moment that great Britain and the other Powers concerned show that they will no longer tolerate the outrageous seizures. In either case, the government of the United States should be forced to come to a settle- ment. ‘The Canadian Government has, we are pleased to note, adopted the proper course. ——_——_——_ + 0+

Cost of Monarchy.

THe Radicals of England have lately made a great noise about the cost of the monarchy. vain.

Their effort was, however, The better part of both parties (in- cluding the Parnellites) have voted the additional grants. The manner in which ord Randolph Churchill handled the Radical group seems to have been singular- ly vigorous and able. The New York Herald’s correspondent says :— :

“As for the solid part of the speech, it will, no doubt, be well weighed by the coun- try. Some very remarkable figures were pro- duced as to the amount spent at Sandringham by the Prince of Wales in building dwellings for the poor and for improving the state of the people all around him; also some still more remarkable figures as to the present cost of the Monarch in England, distributed over the whole population. It amounts to three farthings per head. Three farthings per head! What a dreadful tax on the unfortun- ate people! The announcement that the cost of maintaining the Sovereign is only three farthings per head of the population of the United Kingdom, must prove rather dis- appointing to those pro-American newspapers published in Canada, which, since the com- mencement of the discussion, heve been affecting sympathy for the British ratepayer.”

Iris stated in a special despatch to the St. John Sun that some time ago it was de- cided to submit the Jesuits’ Estate Act to the English law officers of the Crown, ask- ing these ‘‘distinguished legal luminaries” for their opinions as to the constitutionality of the bill in question. A reply has been re- ceived to the effect that the Act is constitu- tional and its enactment strictly within the province of the Quebec legislature.

If this report be true, it simply proves that ‘‘the legal luminaries” over the eastern hemisphere are in accord with “the legal

luminaries” over the western hemisphere. _ HO The largest assortment and handsomest lot of Jugs are going cheap at R. K. Braces—10

Sugar.

Ir is significent that while prices of sugar are still ‘‘away up,” the St. Lawrence Sugar Refining Company of Montreal have decided to close down their large factory at Hochelaga for two or three weeks—owing to the fact that ‘‘the demand for sugar is unusually light.” Seeing that the factories worked steadily while sugar was down to six or six and a half cents a pound, it seems strange that they should ‘‘shut down’ now when sugar is selling at prices largely in advance. Moreover, high prices are hardly consistent with “ta light demand.’s

—Mr. Blake—not Mr. Blake, of Char- lottetown—has been an unfortunate poli- tician, all through. A few years ago, he did his best to boom Kansas; and now we are told that Kansas City has collapsed. Real estate is a drug on the market. Much of it is mortgaged for more than it will bring to- day. Foreclosures are so frequent that the Kansas City Globe issues a supplement each day for the publication of notices of fore- closure sales. In one issue there were forty-nine such notices, and it is a frequent occurrence for twenty foreclosure proceed- ings to be begun in a single day. In _ the last six months over 600 mortgages have been foreclosed. The depression is so great that the principal streets are throng- ed with idlemen. It is estimated that at least 8,000 are unable to find employment.

News Notes.

Portions of the Austrian Empire were terribly devastated by a cyclone on the 28th ult. Many lives were lost.

Two hundred people in Wilson County, Tenn., have banded together to drive the Mormon elders and converts from the county.

The London Daily Telegraph, comment- ing on the vote on the royal grants, says that the action of the Parnellites in supporting the monarchy is one of the most notable signs of the time, and that it signalizes an almost complete division be- tween the domestic and American wings of the Irish party.

The population of Montreal and Toronto are approximately equal, though Montreal has somewhere the greater number of people. But in June last there were 719 deaths recorded in Montreal against only 148 in Toronto. Nearly 60 per cent of the deaths in Montreal are of children under five years of age. The infant mortality in our largest Canadian city is. something alarming, as well as discreditable.

The business of a great post office like that of New York involves the employment of a large official staff. Under the late re- gime, as under the present, successive post- masters have asked for a large increase in the number of employes to the extent of 190 additional clerks and 116 additional carriers. The postmaster general appoint ed a commission to inquire into the matter and the result is a report recommending the appointment of 123 additional clerks and 10 carriers, at an annual cost of $87,- 000.

London Standard says the feeling is now almost universal that the perpetrator of the Whitechapel butcheries is’a sailor, perhaps of oriental race. It has been suggested that he selects the night before sailing for the commital of his atrocious deeds. The police received, just before the latest atrocity, a warning, written and signed by the same hand that had before told, only too truly, of tragedies to be enacted at the times named. The failure of the police to capture the murderer causes universal and unfavorable comment. Meanwhile, the force is so much engaged in watching for him that crime in other parts of the metropolis is reported to be sadly increas. ing.

Horse Notes.

Nearly a hundred horses are stabled at the Brighton Beach track for the sole purpose of giving their legs the benefit of daily sea baths.

The Automatic Safety Bit, which is guar- anteed to stop any runaway horse, and is at the same time ornamental, has been pa- tented. The principle on which it works is to close the nostrils of the horse, and shut off his wind, and if the appliance can do this effectually it should be successful.

The new trotting park that is being con- structed at Paris, France, where the Am- erican style of racing has taken a strong hold, is nearly completed, and when in shape for races will be the best affair of its kind on the other side of the Atlantic. The new track at Berlin, Germany, will be ready in about 4 month, and itis the in- tention to next season enlarge it to a full mile, ground enough for that purpose hav- ing been reserved. The track is a grass one, but inside of this is a circular track on which horses may be exercised, the grass track being reserved for racing only, a pen- alty of $500 being imposed on anyone found giving his trotter a trial on the grass track. The rule of Germany as to weights has been modified somewhat this season, it now being that the sulky and driver shall weigh not less than 200 lbs., both being weighed together. :
