NOTES AND COMMENTS.

—We hear with regret that John Gaff- ney, Esq., for several years High Sheriff of Prince County, died at Summerside last evening. Mr. Gaffney has beep in bad health for a long time. He was deserved~- ly respected by a large circle of friends and acquaintances,

— According to the Toronto Globe’s re- port, Mr. Fortin, M.P.,and Mr. Ethier, M. P., who followed Mr. Tarte as speakere at St. Vincent de Paul, did not agree with the policy of the Government in sending the contingent, but did not see the use of re~ | signing like Mr. Bourassa, for this would | only bring to power Sir Charies Tuy per and the Coneervatives.

GuiovcestEer’s Recorp.—The Gl..uces- ter, Mase., vessel owners closed their books for the official year on Monday. Their figures show that 60 lives were Jost on vessels from that port, and that 15 ves~ sels were totally wrecked, causing a direct financial loss of $80,000. In the cost of the casualties resulting from the two great storms last winter be added, the total would be increased to $115,000. Among the fishermen reported lost is Patrick Findley, of Prince Eaward Island.

THE BICYCLE IN WAR.

THE campaign in South Africa is the first in which bicycles heve been practi- cally employed by troope. Sir Redvers Buller bas issued an order to the effect that departmentel cfficers at bases shall

ave the option of using their cycles in~ stead of horses, aud receive an allowance in l'eu of rations. The fact goes to prove that military authorities are at length be- giuning to preceive the practical value of the bicycle in warfare.

ESTERFMED EXCHANGES.

Mail and Empire: “If Sir Wilfrid Laurier were a man of strength, imbued with the best sentiments for Canada, Israel] Tarte would notrule in the Cabinet for three minuies.

St. John Sun: It is easy to criticise after the fact. General White is a tried and capable officer and it may be assumed that the strategy was not so traneparent on the field as it seems to the man at the desk,

Montreal Gazette: Mr. Tarte’s visit to Paris may, as be himeelf bas publicly declared, have been a good thing for his liver, but it must surely have turned his head, or he would not talk such poictless nonsense about “taxation without repre- sentation” and “claiming a seat in the councils of the Empire.” We pay no Im- perial taxation and it is not proposed that we should. The Imperial Gov- ernment has not asked Canada for a single cent or a single soldier te defend Imperial interests in the Transvaal. The offer was made by Canada of its own free will, and the whole cf the expenditure will come under the consideration of the Dominion Parliament, where the taxpayers of Can- ada are fully represented, or misrepresent- ed, if the members try to make out that the sendiry of the contingent is not the spontaneous expression of Canadian loy~ ally.
