NOTES AND COMMENTS.

The Patriot of yesterday was approp- riately illustrated by two crowing cocks.

low long before the chickens come home to roost ? —Montreal Gazette: Parisians have

decided that Anarchist bomb throwers arc cowards. They are right in a sense, but that does not take away from the deadli- ness of the dyaamite used. There are conditions in whieh a coward is more dangerous than a man.

So Mr. L. H. Davies, M. P., “opines” that the Dominion election will go as the Provincial electior Mr. Davies ought to know by this time that it is “never safe to prophesy until you are sure.” If his-

tory should repeat itself here, the result of | the |

the Dominion election will be exactly reverse of that of the Provincial election.

It is hard le account for any party in any other Province being particu‘arly rc- joiwed at the result of the P. E. Island election. But perhaps the Lilerals of

Halifax see in the victory ground for ho; e |

that P. KB. Island will, ere long, be foreed to go into th: Maritime Unien which the Liberal pram-ers have piotted !

Exports from Great Britain w Canada declined 26 per cent. during the month of November, but increased 0.19 per cent for the eleven months of the year. The im- ports from Canada decreased 13 per cent. for November, and for the eleven months imports of goods decreased from £118.000 to £25 000, wheat and flour from £2,000,- 000 to £1,400.000, wheat from £3,500,000 o £2 200,000.

The latest news from Honolulu does not |

Hawaii, or |

sent Minister Willis to Hawaii w th in- strnetions which would, it was hoped, re-

cuit, in the immediate and peaceful restare

ation of Queen Lil. to the throne. This ex pectation has been disappointed, and the | situation remains one of extreme difficulty. The provisional government, though ille- gally established, had got there and in- tended to stay. It was not to be expected that men who had been enterprising and unscrupulous enongh to thus snatels the reins of power from the © hands ot the Queen woukl give - every- thing up quietly at the suggestion of Min-

| furce. On the contrary, the supporters of } the Provisional Government imtend to | stick to what they have got, and defend it by use of arme, if necessary. Thev are

She argues, with some show of reason, that the United States Govern- vent admits that she has been wrongfully deprived of the throne by the use of its troop-; then let the United States troops restore her to the throne = and keep her there. But the very idea of the forces of the Republic being eim- ployed to establish and maintain a mor- | archy frightens Mr. Cleveland’s most de- voted supporters ; and it is safe to say that | however strongly indicated by the claims | of juetice, this is a course the President dare not take. The popular clamor which | has already been aroused has evidently convineed Mr. Cleveland that he cannot go any further. That is probably the | rason why Minister Willis stays at Hono- lulu and does nothing. In its perplexity the Government will, perhaps, lend jan ear to the other demand with | which the Queen is credited—that she

HOME CULIURE. |

It is sometimes pointed ont by earnest | in patronage for all kinds of XMAS FURNITURS for

and thoughtful men that there are signs cf | decay in the States which are omi 01s ct | moral and phy-ical disaster. If we are to | believe statistics, crime is on the increase, | ani physical and intellectual weakness | and untitness are becoming more and more |} apparent in large portions of the popula- | tion. Inherited drunkenness, moral irre- sponsibility, idiocy and physical malfor- | mation are said to be blighting a growing number of American children. These statements are startling in the face of sneh vast advances as are being made in Amc- rica in the arts, the sciences, and the ma- terial conveniences of life. The world was never better fed, better housed, and better educated than it is now in this “fin

de siecle;? and yet good fare, good shelter, and good books seem

to fail in producing good and happy men and women in a_ very considerable number of cases. Probably we must ailow some exaggeration in the prophecies which interpret the condition of the people, as protending their utterruin. The Ameri- ean people is a mixed multitude from every land, and in adjusting themselves to new cond ‘tions foreign elements must occasion di turbance in the ordinary processes of national development. The result should not be contemplated with pessimistic fear, but with patriotic and religious hopeful- ness, Doubtless the commonwealth as it grows will purge itself fom a ! deal of what is morbid aud aboorinal in its period of transition, Yet every ¢ffort should be made to look the situation in the face and to provide measures for national preservation. The home should be a uursery of all that is essential to the health and vitality of the nation. The home is undoubtedly the most important institution in this or any other country. The parent is the first and most re p msible law-giver in the land. A nation of strong, moral and intellectual men and women cau only rise from homes where the duties of fatherhood and metherhood are clearly unler-tood and atlequately discharged. Home culture a3 meaning a knowledge of home duties, and their st udy and earnest perforniance, is Ove very important means of making the home whatit should be, a temple of religion, a garden of health, a school of knowledge. Of course the first effect of home cuiture would be te make parents take more seriously the burden of re-ponsibility which their position in- volves, There are many subjects. relating to the sanity and perfection of the race, which the pulp't and the preacher have no occasion todisenss, We shou!d like to see

some of thee te,ivs made subjects of study, of mutual eounsel, of dis- cussion by leetnre or — otherwise among mothers. Formal associations

might well be instituted for this purpose. Any measure that would impress upon the people that the home is the fountain ‘of national life, any plans by which parents and guardians, and especially mothers conld be taught to feel that they are the founders of the America of the next gen- eration, would be of wide national benefit. The laws of physical, moral and intellec- tual perfection, as far as they are known need much more study than they receive by those to whom is committed the mak- ing and moulding of the child character of America, We do not expect the time will ever come when imperfect or distorted human organisms will be entirely things of the past, but we believe the heritage of idioey, of moral depravity, may be ‘very much lessened from the deep tide wth which it now sweeps over our country; and &s it springs out of the bosom of the home, so in the home must its waters he purified, diverted, cr altogether checked, The means by which this effect is to he produced must constitute the true home cultare, a 'arge part of whieh will consist
