Horse Breeding.
In yesterday's remarks on horse breeding
we stated that there were no reasons why our farmers should not make stock raising a financial success. We have well bred climate wonderfully adapted to this industry.
Although all the
horses, cheap food and a soil and
conditions are favor- able, it is apparent to any one who com- pares the results achieved with those of our American neighbors that horse breeding in this Province is not so successful, financial- ly, as it should be under the circumstances, We are deficient in well bred The Arab regards his horse with (almost)

Editorial Notes. Commenting on Archbishop O'Brien's recent speech at the Imperial Federation meeting, the Ottawa Citizen says: ‘* The Archbishop has faith in the country, hope for its future, and confidence in its people. One such man in a community is worth a thousand gloomy-visaged growlers and sow- ers of seeds of distrust and dissatisfaction.”
A correspondent of the Empire, who says that he has been in the habit of visit- ing the Maritime Provinces every two or three years since the Union was consum- mated says :—
‘There are, in fact, on every side the proofs not only of substantial but of rapid progress. [ see no reason why iron and steel steamers should not be constructed in Nova Scotia as cheaply as in Eagland.. There are the coal und iron lying practically together ; the skill ind capital should be forthcoming and would be, if proper means were taken to let the wonderful mineral resources of the province be known abroad. That there is money in the Maritime Provinces in abundance is shown by the fact that of the savings bank deposits in the hands of the Government the greater part of twenty millions of dollars comes from New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Ed- ward Island, whose joint population is under a million. They have several millions invest- ed in banking, tens.of millions more in ship- ping, which is found on every ocean, and their fish output is only reckoned by millions annually. Were that enormous sum in the savings bank invested in local enterprises the wheels of commerce would hum.”
Bishop Courtney.
LON DON-—CONFIRMATION AND ADDRESSES,
AT NEW SERVICES
On Monday the Bishop arrived at Ken- sington, and after dinner at the Rectory, proceeded to St. Mark’s Church. Shorten- el evening prayer was said by the Rector, Mr. J. M. Forbes, lay reader and divinity student, reading the lesson. Twenty-one persons were presented and confirmed.
On Friday the Bishop and Rector drove to French River, and after lunch at Mr. Wm. Thompson’s, walked to St. Thomas’ Church, about a mile distant. This Church, which is really one of the neatest and pretties of our country churches, was look- ing well in its new coat of paint, its slender spire rising amidst a beautiful green grove, surrounded by many fine bits of scenery. Here seventeen candidates were confirmed. After the service, the Bishop drove to Mr. Wm. Profit’s, where he had tea, then to St. Stephen’s Church, Irishtown, which was literally crowded with people of all ages and denominations. Twenty-seven persons here receiyed the Apostolic Rite.
It is almost needless to say that in all three churches the Bishop's addresses were listened to with deep attention; and his kind, loving and Cheering words will be cherished for many a day to come. His visit has greatly strengthened the parish— has inspired new life iato both priest and people. From St. Stephen’s the Bishop returned to the Rectory at Kensington.
On Saturday morning the Bishop conse- crated St. Mark’s Church at Kensington. fev. Messrs. Harper, McKenzie and Lowe were present beside the Rector, Rey. Mr. Reagh. Rev. Mr. Reagh read the petition for consecration, after which the clergy march- ed in procession to the chancel where the Bishop said the special prayers appointed for such occasions. ‘Then Mr. Reagh read the order for consecration which the Bishop signed, and afterward ascended the pulpit, preaching from Ephesians Sth chap., 27th verse, ‘‘ That he might present it to him- self.a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.” He showed how the church had become de- filed and by what means God had cleansed and defended it. The sermon was profound and searching. The Holy Communion was afterward celebrated by the Bishop, Rev. Mr. Lowe being Epistuller and Rev. Mr, Reagh Gospeller.
His Lordship attended a reception at the residence of Hon. F. Brecken yesterday afternoon, and dined at Goverament House in the evening.
The Late Stephen Rose, Esquire.
We announce to-day the demise of Stephen Rose, Esq., of North Lake, in his eighty-third year. The deceased was a man of genuine character, honorable and honest in his dealings with all men, and of a quiet and mild disposition which won the respect and esteem of all who had the pleasure of his acquaintance. He leaves a widow and seven children (living), grand children and great grand children, and a great number of relations and friends to mourn the loss of a kind husbarid, an affectionate father, and a good and obliging neighbor. His remains were followed to their last resting place, West River Baptist Church, of which he was one of the mem-

He is of Irish parentage, and affords another ot the numerous illustrations with which the world abounds of the eminent fitness of the Irish race to administer public affairs.

The Empire says: ‘‘ The speech of the Arch- bishop of Halifax will be read with profound satisfaction by every Canadian who feels pride in his country. it is a most interesting intellectual treat. It breathes a patriotic sentiment throughout. Some may not agree with the Archbish»p’s Irish Home Rule Senti- ments, others may differfrom him in regard to the necessity for any change in the politi- cal relations of Canada with the Empire, but all will unite in applauding his appreciation of Canada’s resources, his belief in a glorious future for the country, and his sharp censures of ‘‘the dreary prophets of evil.” Arch- bishop O’Brien has shown himself on all occa- sions a true Canadian, and he does not hesi- tate to deal fearlessly with those who have only bad words for Canada. It is understood that he is one of the foremost thinkers of our country, his deliverances on public matters being the outcome of profound study joined to a robust intellect. There a freshness and a vigor about His Grace’s public utterances which never fail to command general atten- tion, and the speech which we reproduce to- day is no exveption to the rule.”

Rates of Freight.
Sik,—Allow me to direct your attention to yesterday’s issue of the St. John Sun in re Intercolonial R. R., and to the antiquat- ed and oppressive freight regulations that prevail on the [. C. R. and its connections. The schedule rate oy barrelg of potatoes from Charlottetown to St. John is 33 cents, A barrel of potatoes will weigh from 180 to 195 lbs. On potatoes in bags the rate is 22 cents per 100 Ibs, or, in other words, if the farmer who has no barrels uses bags, he has to pay at the rate of 40 cents per barrel, or about 20 per cent. more than the schedule rate. At the same time our R. R. authori- ties are carrying potatoes to Boston, via Pictou landing, for 38 cents a bag, 180 Ibs. Now, the distance to Boston by this route is four times as great as to St. John; still the rate to St. John is two ceuts per bag higher. I have always argued that the rate on potatoes by rail is too high; tor instance, a barrel of flourcan be brought from To- ronto, 1,100 miles, all rail, for 67 cents, or via Boston for 55 cents. At the same time you have to pay 33 cents to carry a barrel of potatoes (the poor man’s food) te St. John, 185 miles. Again, it costs more in some instances to get gouds to Mencton, 110 miles, than to St. John, 185 miles. 1 paid on a parcel of 40 Ibs., 50 cents freight from Moncton to Charlottetown. The most I could possibly be charged from St. Johua was 41 cents. Potatoes are always relative- ly higher in St. John than in Halifax; the reason, the excessive R. R. charges. Las winter, in St. John, potatoes soldffor from? 80 cents to $1 per bus. for months, and many poor people, earning less that $1 per day, had to pay these prices. Last fall potatoes were worth 22 cents a bus. all along the line of the P. E. 1. Railway. Had the railroad rates been reasonable and the rvad supplied with some Eastman non-freezing cars, doubtless quantities of potatoes would have been stored on the other side. What we want is a rate of freight on the food products of P. E. Island that shall approxi-
mate to the special rates on flour from On- tario and coal from Springhill. The work-

To manufacture cheaply, cheap food is a necessty. Again, the areight on nails from St. Jom to Summerside is 13 cts per keg, from St. John to Kensington, 8 miles further, 21 cents akeg. Comment is need- less. Some four years ago, owing to ex- cessive freight charges on excelsior, the bulkof thar consumed in Halifax and other pars of Nova Scotia was bought in Buston, notwithstanding that the price at St. John and Boston were identical. But a year or tvo ago we got the freighton the L. C. R. reduced to a commensurate basis and the sales of St. John manufactured excelsior

‘A Suggestion.
Sir,—Will you permit a suggestion? No where that I have been, in passing through the cities of the United States, are trap- hatchways allowed to project their hinges on the sidewalks, and it ought to be a special effort to avoid those dangers in a city where tanglefoot is so prevalent. The Council should take care of the feet of pedestrians as well as their heads. Let them, therefore, make a city law that all cellar hatches ‘be made flush with the sidewalks, at once, and as each house (from age or other reason) requires to be rebuilt, order them to be ‘oe with altogether. Let the term, ‘‘ city obstruction ” include ankle-twisters, irregularities and
Srus-Tors,
A Vital Question.
S1r,—As in all likelihood, it will be a con- siderable time before we can be furnished with ‘‘ water closets," it is worth while to ask what contrivance there may be in the way of ‘‘ dry closets.” One thing sure, the deawers insisted on by the city by-laws, do not meet all the requirements of the situation, and if any better device can be had let it be sub- stituted, and so lessen our chances of a typhoid or cholera visitation.
