“Give our manufacturers a market for their products ond they can be trusted to make their way against any competitors, says a commercial union orgun. That is exactly what the Grit policy would not do. Many of our manufacturers would have no more chance than the English refiners, who fail to compete with bounty-fed sugar from abroad.

Rev. Dr. Dewart, editor of the Cnris- tian Guerdian, Toronto, who has just re- turned from a trip through the Maritime Provinces, sums up his observations in

these terms: ** The intelligence and enter-

prise of the people will compare favorably | ce john, N. B. with any other country In the world. l) the session of 1890 at St. John, N. B.

had been teld that I would tind a good deal of disaffection on confederation in these people we met, including men of both par- ties, this is not true. Everywhere we went the idea of building up a strong, united British-Canadian commonwealth was enthu- siastically endorsed.”

~The Summerside Journal is enough to suggest that Charlottetown be the scene of the next Carnival. Yes, when Charlottetown has decent sidewalks and | streets, a respectable fence around Queen | Square, and a first-class hotel, and when the City Fathers are prepared to keep down the dust,—-then her citizens may advertise « Carnival. Nature has done much for Charlottetown,—her citizens, not much. When a little more is done by the latter, Charlottetown may profit by many advan- As the Journal well says, ** Taken sllin all, no town inthe Maritime Pro- vinces is better situated for the proposed display.”

tages.

Those who went to Halifax report that the number of drunken men seen on the streets during the continuance of the Car- nival was small. We regret that as much cannot be said of the Scottiah Gathering at Charlottetown. Too many young Scotch- men (and other men) were seen yesterday uader the influence of exhilarating or in- toxicating fluids. There were indications, too, that something ** to make drunk come” was sold on the Trotting Park. We call the attention of the managers of the Park to the patent fact that if they desire the patronage vfjrespectableJmen and women—that is co say, of nineteen-twentieths of the people—- they must not permit the sale of intoxicat- ing liquors upon their grounds.

Very frankly the press of New York tell the people of that great city that a world’s fair tivere imposes obligations upon them which makes it doubtful if the place is really deserving of a great exhibition. They are told by these candid friends that

‘in the principal city of the nation there is

something to admire, but also more things than one of which Americans would be pro- foundly ashamed.” The sidewalks are blocked with goeds; the streets are dirty and decidedly malodorous; the accommo- dation for local transit is inadequate, etc. in ‘act, “‘the civilized man who has seen London or Paris * * * ip apt to cry, ‘If this is the ripe fruit of freedom give me a little despotism.’ ”’

The gloomy forebodings of San Fran- cisco merchants over the prospect of having their Pacitic trade diverted to Canada ap- pears to rest on a substantial basis, for the San Francisco News Letter candidly remarks to them : ‘‘No subsidies that this country is ever likely to consent to pay will enable us to Compete on the ocean with Great Britain. Our people in the east cannot do it, and it is very certain we cannot do bet- ter than they. We cannot build cheap steamers and operate them inexpensively, | nor make them successful in the end under our ‘present policy, no matter what the i it may be that Macaulay’s New Zealander, instead of gazing from London Bridge, will come over to America and gaze on the dwindling remains of the once mighty city of the Pacific coast.

subsidies.’

Some ‘passengers give interesting ac- counts of scenes at the recent battle in Honolulu. The day, it seems, was won by a baseball pitcher, who utilized his skill by throwing dynamite bombs into the bunga- low that formed the headquarters of the in- surgents, and brought them to terms quicker than rifle or cannon shots. The bluejackets kept up a disastrous firing all day, and it was finally decided to ithrow dynamite on the bungalow. Bombe were quickly made; but it was found that there were ho guns to fire them. It was a long throw, and in their dilemma the King’s guards secured the services of Henry Woodhouse, pitcher of the baseball elub. W oodhouse took lin his position in the Coney Island buile’>y just across a narrow lane and overlool ‘ the bungalow. No attack was expected from that quarter, and there was nothing io disturb the bomb- thrower. Woodhouse stood fora few mo- iments with a bomb in his hand, as though he were in the box waiting for a batsman. He had to throw over a house to reach the bungalow, which he could not see. The first bomb went sa'ling over the wall, made a down curve, and struck the side of the bungalow about a foot from the roof, and a terrible yell followed. The bomb had reached them and hurt a number of insur-
