THE ROUTE TO PORTLAND.

Phe value to the Dominion of Canada of the privilege of transit for their experts and im- ar territory and to and from our ports, though great in every aspect, will be etter appreciated when it is remembered that for a considerable portion of each year the St. lawteuee river, which canstitutes the direct svenne of foreign commeree leading to Cana-

xced by ice During the last six the imports and exports of the British- Canadian provinces carried across our terri-

inder the privileges geanted by our laws

ports across <

mounted in value to about ten hundred and ‘venty millions of dollars, nearly all of which were goods dutiable under our tariff laws, by far the larger portion of this traffic consisting if exchanges of goods between Great Britain i her American provinces, broaght to and irried from our ports in their own vessels. he treaty stipulation entered into by our Government was in harmony with iaws which were then on our own statute books and are illin force. I recommend immediate legis- lative action conferring upon the Executive the power to suspend by proclamation the

operation of all laws and regulations permit- ting the transit of goods, wares and mefchan- dise in bond acroes or over the territory of the United States to or from Canada.

Che attention of the British Government has been directed to the constructior, by orders from the Porte, of a series of forti- fications along the Tigris and Euphrates on the boundary between Persia and Turkey. This policy, it is claimed, is in clear contra- diction to the terms of the treaty of Paris of 1856. By certain clauses of that instru- ment it was agreed that neither of the Powers in question should build fortifica- tions within a certain distance of their common frontier. The reply of the Porte, that its action was necessary for thesecurity of the Ottoman Empire, is not accepted as satisfactory. Nor was it considered any justification that the Sultaa consented to a like course for its own defence by the Per- sian Government. England maintains that the Turkish forts are a menace to the free navigation of the international waters, and has insisted that the works be stopped. Both Turkey and the other Powers will be sure to recall that Russia, after ineffectual remonstrance, was permitted to yivlate the same treaty in the Black Sea.

~~.»

Whatever may be the fate of the Mills tariff reform bill, the ditticulty created by excessive revenues is not likely to much longer disturb Congress. The appropria- tions for the current fiscal year aggregate $425, 269,520, an increase of $64,054,730 over those of last year, while the estimated revenue is $440,563,374. There will still

be a surplus of $12,000,C00, but next ses “won Congress n ay be trusted tu make ap- propriations large enough to wipe this out.

The Baptist Convention. FORTY-THIRD ANNUAL CONVENTION OF THE BAPTISTS OF THE MARITIME PROVINCES.

The forty-third annual convention of the Baptist Church of the Maritime Provinces pened at Wolfville, N.S., in the college gall, on Saturday morning, Prof. Jones in the chair. ;

After preliminary proceedings, the’nomi- nating committee reported as follows President, H. C. Creeed; vice-presidents, Rev. J. Morse and J. C. Spurr; secretary, tor next three years, Prof. E. M. Keir- stead; assistant secretary, Mont McDonald; Vreasurer, Colin Roscoe; all of Whom were elected.

The retiring President, Rev. Mr. Jones, then addressed the meeting. Rev. I. S. Skinner occupied the chair, protem. On behalf of the Governors of the College and the Baptists of Wolfville he welcomed the delegates that eonvened in Assembly Hall, ilso the graduates and alumni who have made a pilgrimage tothe Holy Temple. He referred to the memorable year of jubi- lee of the College. The College for which tens of thousands of Baptist hearts beat true must live on. In his opinion Acadia never will amalgamate with other colleges ; she will extend a hand of welcome to them, but no part of the burden that they have hitherto borne will Baptists shift to other shoulders. He made an earnest appeal for funds for the institution. W/)ole-hearted benevolence is wanted.

Mr. Creed, of Fredericton, then took the chair, and thanked the convention for the honor conferred upon him.

Rev. Mr. Black submitted the report on obituaries, in which it was stated for breth- ren had passed away, of whom it was ne- essary to make mention. Two of these were ordained ministers, two licentiates.

The meeting re-opened in the afternoon. Rev. Dr. Day made a financial report as follows: Total receipts from Nova Scotia or the year were $12,097.20; from New Brunswick, $5,809.83, aud from P. E. Is- land, $1,117.10; miscellaneous receipts, $642.79, with last year’s balance, making $20,359.87,.0f which $6,825.72 -were - for heme missions, $7,063.91 for foreign mis- sions, $3,564.94 for educational institutions; $681.79 for ministerial aid; $865.28 for ministerial education; §83,781-31 for the Woman's Aid Society. It was considered a very excellent showing, although $700 less than for last year, which was accounted fur by the immense efforts put forth for the college jubilee fund, and the transfer of $1,000 subscribed for this fund to the jubilee fund.

Stipendiary Magistrate's Court.

George Ross, violation of Scott Act, first offence, $50 or one month's imprisonment.

Several other Scott Act cases were post- poned. =

D. W. Henderson vs. Edward Lane ~Ac- tion for assault. In this case the Magistrate fined the defendant $10 and costs, payable in- stanter. sent instance he inflicted a fine, as the defend- ant had openly admitted hie offence and expressed sorrow for it, otherwise he would bave punished by imprisonment without the option of a fine. rule that in all cases where officers of the law or persons enforcing criminal statutes are as- saulted, a Magistrate's plain duty is te panish by imprisonment only, as it is most necessary that persons in such positions should receive full protection in the discharge of their duties.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR,

City Streets.

Srr,—In common with those of our citi- zens who have oceasien to drive over our streets at night, may I be permitted to enter a protest. at the scandalous state of the plank crossings. Surely, if the small mountains left by the waterworks diggings cannot be helped, at least they can be mitt- gated in some manner or degree. It would be an act’ worthy uf some philosopher. What “*curses not loud but deep” could be saved. to the guilty parties who drive over these horrid ruts !

And again, leaving the waterworks ex- cavations out of the question, when were the streets of Charlottetown in such a dis- graceful condition? They are a disgrace tu the Mayor and every one of the Council- lors, who, I presume, are too busy in fus- tering their own schemes and cliques to pay any attention tothe comfort ot those who are even now called to ‘“‘pony up” so liberally their large taxes.

Such conduct in the representatives of our city cannot fail to reap its own reward in January next. What in the name of goodness dves the City Surveyor find to d that he cannot find time to deposit sume clay or ashes at these plank crorsings ¢ Why, a couple of days’ work from th: squads of men engaged on our streets would nearly finish allto be done in this line. Who, then, is responsible for this state of affairs? Who are the Street Committee formed of ? and what are they about? Are they like Rip Van Winkle, asleep for long years, or have they neverany occasion to drive over these abominable planks? I: one of their august number should happen to break his wagon—or even his neck, it might be—over one of these, what a change wight take place to the beuefit and joy of

Yours, TRAVELER.

{ Wrrrren For THE EXAMINER. } Memories.

When the moon sheds mildest radiance O’er the gently heaving sea,

Thoughts, fike wavelets shoreward rippling, From the past come home to me.

And through mystic dim diffusion, With a cadence low and sweet, Softly breaking, they are soothing

As the wavelets at my feet,

Faintest ruffing scarce revealing, Storms are raging far away ;

Blending, shade with an ideal, Real memories of affray.

Hope was fervent, love was tender In that misty ‘* Long ago ;"’ Strange the present heart ean ponder, Where the tides so ebb and flow.

Gnee before, Oh sea! beside the Wauclering, restless then as now,

Had I watched the moon-beam stealing O’er yon headland’s fir-fringed brow.

Borne upon thy bosom, dancing "Till it reached the hither shore,

(And a magic spell around me Casts that memory of yore.)

How I waited, watched and listened, There was music in thy tone, Marmoring in the softest measure, ** Cherished hope is faintest one.”

Yet I would not that this life time Were the dreamings of its youth ;

For 1 would this heart were quicker To detect the gleams of truth.

But to-night thy ceaseless flowing, Lulling with a tender strain, Brings te past before me, breathing Ali its hopes to life again. ANON. Aug. 27, 1888.
