NOTES AND COMMENTS.

— Queen Victoria was particulary well received io France this year.

—The appropriations by the present Congres have been set down at the enorm- ous sum of $1 566,890,016. Of this amount $482,562,082 have gone for the war with Spain.

—Our lateet St. Joho, Halifax,and Truro dates to hand this morning are those of March l4th; we have the same dates from Toronto, Teaming is low and hard work wien roads are bad.

—Dr. Rainsford, a premineot New York clergymar, bas been widely quoted as saying that no newspaper of cousiderable circulation cares for anything excep making mouey, sad that morals have no place in the work of such a newspaper Avy man who makes sucha eta'emeat as nat doesnt know what he is talking about, to say the least. Coming from a clergyman itis inexcuxable, for he should know better. “Of course,” as the Boston Advertiser says ip comment thereon, “newepapers are conducted to make money. There is not « business in exie- tence in which men do not try te make a living unless they are fortanately bevond the reach of wan'. Even clergymen have been known to change their parishes and their incomes at the same time. But if new-papers are simply and solely money making machines, with no regard for moral considerations, it is certainly strange that anv newspap-r wil undertake to ex~ pore the dishonesty of a large corporation

which would willingly pay ont heavy | brites for s lence; or that so much pews- paper space is given up to notices of religions aad charitable work without one cent retura in the shape of payments for the general advertising.”
