ANOTHER QUESTION.

An Ottawa despatch to the Guardian reporte that Mr. Richard Reddin has been appointed Surrogate and Judge of Probate fortheIsland. This report, if true, bears out THe Examiner's conte ntion that the appointment of Mr. Reddin by the Pro v ncial Government was anconstitutions!

PLEBISCITE RESULTS.

Taat the Goverument which adopted the plebiecite was morally bound by the plebiecite vote; aad that the custemary majority of the vote cast ought to govern unless notice to the contrary e‘fect were publicly given befere the vote wae taken, are propositions which no one can contro- vert. The refusal of the Liberal adminis- tration—which brought on the plebiscite and gave no such notice—to bring down a. prohibitory measure in obedience to the prehibition 14,000 therefore, be excueed.

—The papers report that the three great industries of New England, wool, cotton and leather, are booming in an uoexam p- led way just now. The gotton goods trade is particularly active, and employes gener- ally have received ten per cent. advance of wages. Concluding an article on the subject, the Boston Commercial Bulletia observes that ‘with her three great in- dustries in full and euccessful operation, New England willagain stand among the foremost sections of the country aod in place afa depleted and exhausted land | sbe willl regain much of ber |ustre in na-

STATISTICS.

Tue Minister of Agriculture in the

“No seps have been taken as yet to provide a better syatem of collecting vital atstistics then thet which was abrogated in L891. In the provinces of Ontario, Quebec, New | Brunswick, British Colum- bia, Manitoba and the North-west Terri- tories, the proviacial and _ territorial authorities have placed on the statute- books Acts dealing with the collecting of vital statistics. Section 4 of Chap. 59, R:- vised Statutes, gives the necersary legisiative authority to enable my Depart~ ment to join the provincia! authorities in making atrangem¢ots ror ibs better

, collection of different kinds of :tatistica,

without limitiog the power of my Depart- ment to enter upon provincial fields not worked by provincial organizations. By a

‘ combination of forces the result would be

more satisfactory than by any. other eys~ tem that could be originated by the federal authorities, Instead of clashing statistics there would be statistics having a joint ap- proval. This plan could be carried out in respect to agricultural statistica; so that while each province could have its own statistics for putlication, the world at large would have those of the Dominion. The very great attention given tu crop s:atisiics in the United Kingdom, the United S:ates, France, Germany and Australia and the large monetary operations based upon them, make it almoet imperative upon Caoada to provide ber farmers and busi- ness men with these aids to successful efforta,”’

These remarks may well be consider~ ed by our civic and provincial authorities. Agricultural statistics are the more needed in this province on account of the mis- leading nature of the reports of the Cus- tome as to the amount of our exports of produce. The importance of obtaining Vital statistice has lately been strongly impreesea by Dr. McLeod. Action ought certainly to be taken in this regard.

HEALTH OF OUR CATTLE.

Tue report of our veterinary inspec‘er, Mr. Pethick,to the Minister of Agriculture, does not indicate that there is cause for élarm concerning the presence of tuber- culosis in the cattle of this Province. It appears that heapplied th? tuberculine teat to the cattle of twenty-seven persons, one bundred and ninety four animals in all,aud that but one :esponded by the rise in temperature indicating disease. Mr. Pethick remarke :

* B. lieving as [do that this diseace ex- ists Only to a limited extent on this irland, that is compared with other and ojder countries, I thonght it my duty to urge upon members of our Local Government tbe necessity of probibiting the :mporta- tion of cattle which have first not been sunjected to the tuberculine teste, and judging from the general feeling aroused on this point [ have reason to hope that the matter wi!l be regulated by the necees sary legislation at the next session.”

Mr. Pethick repor's that lump-jaw is somewhat prevalent but that ‘‘farmers are anxious to rid their herds of the diseaee.” Acting upon Mr, Pethick’s advice “many have willingly s’aughtered and burned such animals as were in an advanced stage and subjected many recent cases to iodine of potassium treatment, obtaining in many cases favorable results.” We hope that Mr. Pethick’s efforts, aud the publicity that bad been given them, will result in the “killing out” wherever found, That it been rare in this province has been stated by one of our leading cattle dealers, who informs Tae Examiner that

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

—The Nova Scotia Tourist Association recently met at Helifax and adopted cos- certed measures for the attraction of summer tourists. WeinP.E. Island, also, have attractions for tourists; but no conceried efturt has been made to improve them.

—The Mortreal Gazette remarks that, as is reported from Paris, the cancer para~ site has been #0 ated, humanity is pro- bably on the vay to relief from one of its most terrible coirges, which has hither~ t outwitted the art of the most ekiifal. So many ren arkable discoveries haye been made by medical science durieg this generation, that it does not seem too mucb \o hope that the news is true.

The Patriot seems to be anxious abvut that “new hat.” Well, the editor has only to producea copy of his paper—issued previous to the challenge—containing a copy ofthe full report of the Exd-utive Committee of the Provincial Brauch of the Dominion Alliance—“the excellent report’ — to obtain it,—that is if a hat big enough can be found in town,

—The “Macedonian cry” of the Provin= cial Government must have been an ex, ceeding!y strong one;for it reached the ears of Mr, Peters, nearly 4000 miles away, and caused steamers and trains to break their Sabbath rest and move on Sunday 1a order that Mr. Peters might be here in time.
