Editorial Notes.

—-The only American Transatlantic steamship line has been transferred to

British owners. The reason given is that it did not get the needed mail contract!

—-All eyes ic America are now turned towards New York; for on the decision o! New York depends the result of the presidential election. It is believed that Cleveland's chances are still good.

— The Gammell will case is over, the proceedings at law having beeu volun- tarily withdrawn by Maclellan. So, after all, the will stands, and Maclellan gets nothing.

— Our King’s County correspondent is not singular in his appreciation of the care and liberality of the Government ia lighting up our coasts. The present administration have the will to provide for the wants of the country, and they have the money, too.

-- The Chronicle bewails the “ juven- ile depravity” of Halitax, and the ic ability of schools, police aud Stipendiary Macisirate to elevate the standard. The Chronicle says:—‘ The virtue that is theoretical, the vigor that exhausts itself in wind, the official iules that mean salary and ease, will not meet the re quirements of this city.”

— The chief architect of the Domin ion Government was on the Island last week looking after the Domiuion Build- ings in progress here, and making ar- rangemenuts for the new Dominion Building in Charlotte- town. We understand that the building in contemplation is to be larger and better in every respect than the old oue.

—Twice, this autumn, the lives of the attendants of the Hospital for the Insene have been seriously endangered while rescuing a lunatic who took tothe and yet, a boat has not been provided for use jn such cases. A boat should certainly be obtained without delay. The water is getting cold; anda fatal result ot one of those aquatic excursions is by no means improbable. ‘Thea, what a rew there would be!

—-According toa Montreal despatch the future of the cotton industry io Canada now promises better results than have been obtained for several months past. It is computed by good authori- ties (hat six mouths will suflice to bring the supply into close relation with the demand. The mills have diversified their productions and are runpiog on many new lines of goods, for which the demand is coustaut and abreast ef the output.

—Says the Halifax Herald: “After all, the real grievance against the Governor-General io the matter of Sir Charles Tupper is not thet he mentioned the latter's vame in a complimentary way, but that by doing so he called forth a round of applause which testified to the feeling of the people present. It was this expression of approval which worries the unfortunate writers who have been by turns denouncing and toadying to Sir Charles Tupper. The trouble is not so much that a stranger in Nova Scotia spoke well of Nova Scotia's favorite sop, as that Sir Charles Tupper in spite of his defamers is Nova Scotia's favorite son.”

—The St. James’ Gazette has a very sensational statement which is making quite a stir. The Gazette states that it bas indisputable authority for saying that England is approaching a crisis in India, in comparison with which the Sepoy rebellion of 1857 will appear commonplace. The principal dangers foretold arise from the disloyalty of the Mahommedons in Calcutta and Bombay and the Russiau invasion, which is always threatened by way of Afghan- istan. The Gazette promises to publish revelations, in which the oppressions of the natives of India by tax farmers and collectors will be rehown in as bad a light as the crimes of Warren Hastings.

— Montreal (Gazette: “Hon. Mr. Solomon has given notice of a resolution to be moved ia the legislative council of Jamaica looking to the immediate open- ing of negotiations by that colony for inclusion in the Canada federation. If the Jamaica council and assembly favor the proposition, the views of the British Government will vext be sought, and if the approval of the home authorities is ob tained, of which little doubt exists, the subject will come up for consideration in Canada. There is somethiug to be said on both sides from a Canadian standpoint, aod already a portion of the pres*, with ascavt knowledge of the condi‘ions ef union, is settling the merits ) the proposal, but it will be ample time to take up the question when formal application for admission is fmade by

Jumetea through the British Govers- ment.” —A writer in the Loudon Railway

by the Cabinet before October 23, when Parliament reassembles. It saya ‘“‘the city is naturally full of curiosity as to the nature of Lord Northbrook’s scheme. There is not, however, much mystery about it. Its salient features were stated by us as soon as his departure was arnounced; nor does it require very great perspicasity to see the course which he will be driven by events to take. He has suspended the sinking fund. fle will cut the coupon and further wmoutilate the law of liqui- dation by offering the Khedive an English loan of eight millions sterling. To the destructive part of his mission there wi'l be little exception taken here, although there will be a tremendous out- cry in Paris, and probably further east. It is with the constructive part that Eng- | lis hpublie opinion will be,most exciied, ithat is to say, Parliament will accept with composure the cutting of the coupon, but the guarantee of the cut coupou— thai is altogether another affair, and we may expect some very stormy debates iu the approaching session.

tine Some Results. Tue results obtained from the Experi- mental Farms show that the tract of land in the Northwest termed by the Toronto Globe ‘an arid waste,” is pot so bad.

Montreal (fazette says: “The confidence of the company is best shown by the fact that cultivation was begun without such adequate aad careful preparation of the soil as would insure the largest re- sults in production. It was not, indeed, as we learn from #n account of the working aud results of these farnis just issued, intended to attempt the raising of crops on the farms during the season of 1884. The idea was to cultivate and prepare the ground thoroughly, iu accordance with the best known practice of breaking and banksetting, so as to have a seed bed ready for the spring of 1885. Those in charge of the work were, however, after seeing the land ooce turned up, so impressed with the belief that a fair yield could be obtained, even off the sed, that it was decided to make the attempt; considering it advis- able, in view of the reiterated statements that this section of country was unfit for settlement, to ruo the risk of im- perfect cultivation rather than leave the important question unsolved for another season. ‘The results attained have abundantly justified this course.”

The Hahfax School for the Blind.

The object of the above Institution, is to provide the blind youth ‘of the Maritime Provinces with such an education and training as will enable them to become useful members of society, and save them from lives of helpless dependence and en- forced idleness. A number of those traincd in the institution have graduated, and are successfully occupied in the vari- vus vecatious for which they have been pre- pared. The School is of a purely nn- sectarian character, the pupils being obliged to attend those churches to which their parents belong. ‘The institution is under the control of a Board of Managers elected annually, who earnestly wish to sustain the several departments of the School in their present efficient state.

Pupils from the Maritime Provinces are admitted free of all charge, the respective Proviacial Governments each making an annual grant towards their education and maintenance equivalent to about two-thirds of the actual yearly cost per capitum

H therto the balance has been met by private contributions and interest upon iu- vestments ; but, unforiunately, both of these sources of revenue have fallen of—the former owing to the im- press'on that the Government grant was sufficient to meet the requirements of the Institution, the latter to the reduced rate of interest received upon invested funds, The Board of Managers, relying upon the general favor with which the work of edu-

A correspondent of the York Gleaner asks :

“‘Why will our (New Brunswick Agricul- tural) Society men insist on sending Mr. Reid year atter year through the States to bring trotters here, which are inferior to our home stock both for work or trotting and cost much more? If [ remember right Mr. Reid has brought horses from the States which have been badly beaten by our home stock. Why not try our Island stock such as we had here in the last race?

The Canadian Contingent.

INTERESTING LETTER FROM ONE OF THE VOYAGEURS.

A letter was received by a Muvntrealer from one of the Canadian contingent for Egypt, dated ‘*S 8. Ocean King, in sight of Gibraltar, September 29.” In view of the general interest taken in anything con- cerning the voyageurs, the following ex- tract is given to the public :—

“The trip so far has been a most enjoy- able one, nothing occurring to mar the pleasure of the trip, so novel to ihe majority of the voyageurs. ‘The weather hes been exceptionally fine throughout. and as a natural consequence there has been very little seasickness on board. We have had one death, so far, a Manitoba Indian (three- quarter-breed Cree), named Richard Hen- derson. The cause of his death was an abscess on the brain. He leaves a wife and one child. The captain of the ship read the burial service over him, and he was buried in the usual fashion at sea in 39.20 north latitude, and 14.13 west longitude. We passed Trafalgar bay this morning, and as scarcely any of the voyageurs ever beheld the memorable spot on which Lord Nelson lost his life, it had more than a passing in- terest for them. Every one on board is in the best of spirits and good health, which can be attributed to a great extent to the kindness we have received from the officers in charge. Col. W. N. Kennedy and Capt. J. C. Kennedy have both endeared themselves to the voyageurs, and deserve special meniion. We are all anxious to reach Alexandria and see Lord Wolteley, who is well kaown to many of the party.”

The Greater Confederation.

In view of the negotiations that are sup- posed tobe ging on at present, looking ‘owards a union of the British West Indies with the Dominion of Canada, everything relating to the matter is important and in- teresting. Itis worth while, therefore, to recall uhe utterances of Lord Derby, the Secretary of State for the Colonies, in addressing a deputation that re- cently waited upon him, with respect to this matter. His Lordship said;

‘Something was said as the expediency of bringing about a closer connection between tue West Indies and the Dominion of Canada. This was not a matter which had come before the Colonial Office in any formal or official shape, and therefore he was not in a position to speak up it, except in the vaguest and most generai terms. He could not conceive any objec- tion on the part of the Colonial office two a drawing closer of the ties between two parts of the Calonial Empire. So far from vbjecting to that, it was what the Imperial Government had always desired, and what they had always promoted so far as lay in their power. But they must remember that in financial and administrative matters Canada was virtually an independent countcy; and therefore the assistance which he could give the deputation in this matter would be of a very negative character. If the West Indies and Canada could come to terms as regarded a closer connection, he might venture to say that under hardly any conceivable circumstances would the Col- onial Office desire to oppose itself to such an arrangement. But the question rested, in the first instance, with Canada; and to Canada they must address them- selves rather than to the Colonial Office.”
