OCTOBER 1, 1885

Hditoriel Notes. |

—The committee of the Society of | Friends are circulating awong the| Quakers of Great Britain documents, | urging that the repeal of the laws enact. | ing state regulation of vice be made a} distinct issue in the coming elections, and that support be given to those candidates only who will pledge themselves in favor of appeal. The newspxper organs of the Methodist Cnurch in England also advo- cate the proposal.

— The Newcastle temperance conven- tion resulted in the formation of a dis- tinct temperance party in England, whieh will support only those parliamen- tary candidates who wil! pledge them- selves in favor of local option. Most of the conference orators upbraided the late Liberal Government for its neglect of temperance legislation, and criticised | Mr. Gladstone for the meagre and in- | different reference which his manifesto contains concerning the liquor traffic. Rev. Mr. Garrett, President of the Methodist Temperance Union, has issued a fervent political appeal to the people of England, concluding with these words ‘* Let party landmarks go. Vote straight for a sober country.”

—Mr. Barry Straton,of New Brunswick through the Montreal Herald's columns,

urges the claim to the Government bounty, in Northwest lands, of those

New Brunswick volunteers who respond

ed to the Government's call for active service. The men left their homes,

travelled hundreds of miles, and went

into camp at Sussex. Their services aot

being required in the Notthwest they were returned to Fredericton, where they were disbanded. These young New

Bruvswickers threw up their situations at the call of duty, and some of them

have vot been able to regain their old | positions, thus being actual losers from

their eagerness to serve their country.

Mr. Straton puts his case strougly, and itis to be hoped the Government may strain a pointto reward in a_ suitable manner those who responded so promptly to the call.

—Says the Montreal Witness: At the first we were inclined to urge that Riel should not be made a martyr of by exe- cut‘on, and this would probably have become the prevailing sentiment of the country but for the dishonorable and successful eSort of the Liberals of this Province to embarrass the Government by the introduction of race feeling into the question, and so put what might have been a generous leniency in the light of a weak yieldivog to sectioual demand. When this was done we declared that the Government should be supported in em- barrassiug extremities, and we should stand by it in whatever course it took. The position of the Ontario Lilerals bas been worse than thut of those of this Province. They have carefully avoided | expressing a decided opinion on question, holdiny themselves in readiness to blame whatever may be done.

the |

—The lumber trade of the Northwest- eru States isin a depressed condition. Not only sre the manufacturers, in common with those interested in other branches of business, called upon to face a reductioa in the price of their product, estimated by President Van Schaik, at the Association meeting «t Chicago, at 15 per cent., bu! the falling off in sales compared with 1884, was at least 10 per

ceut. Coupled with these un- iavorable conditions the production had goue on increasing, avd was tully

25 per ceat. in advavee of the demand. Complaint was also made of excessive insurance rates charged, and the arbi- trary chauges of their tariff rates by the railways. The business, in fact, Mr. Van Scheik said, was so demoralized that 6 per cent. could not be made on the tavestment. In view of these facts, it was resolved to curtail production 20 per ceut. compared with last year, to cut the millers’ wages, and to appoiut a com- mittee to remousirate with the insurance people on the evil of their ways.

— The success which has attended the Canadian exhibit in the Antwerp exposilion, and the prominence thus given to the Dominion, are very marked in an article which appeared in the Independence Belge, a leading Brussels pewspaper. Besides devoting nearly three columns to a description of the exhibit, this paper publishes a large cut of the Canadian department in an illus- trated supplement, which appesred on the 13th ult. The letter press refers in hopeful terms to the commercial benefits which must result to both countries from the better knowledge which each has this year acquired of the other, and comments in a manner most gratifyiog to Canada on the climate, pro- ductions aud generally the advantages for emigration which Canada presents, not hesitating to remark, however, that in the manufactures, and especially in the matter of furniture, the Belgians were surprised to find that we are not at all behind themselves in the comforts and luxuries of civilization. The article re- fers at length to the advantages which

“s @ direct and shert route to China and Japan, and is written through- out in # spirit of admiring friendliness for our Dominion,

—The British Board of Trade re- turns for August, a8 reported by the Economist, are rather more favorable ‘hau were the returus for July, but at:

the same time the decrease, compared with last year, is general and decided. The imports amounted to £18,957,000,

| or £654,000 less than in August, 1884.

Tins shrinkage, which is not very im- portant, is mainly due tothe decreased arrivals of food products, raw textile fabrics. The exports from the United Kingdom during August are valued at £18,495,600,which is about 64

pr cent. less than in the same period of

last year. ‘The month’s decrease is chiefly to be found under the textile and metal trades. The imports for the eight months ending August 31 amouat- ed to £253,209.443. a decrease of 36 per cent. when compared with 1884. It is a noteworthy fact that the imports of cattle from the Unired States have cousiderably decreased, while those from Canada have again risen, an increase being noted in the receipts of cattle from Canada, £165,000 being shown for the eight months. The dimi- bution in wheat imports is solely due to

smaller arrivals trom the American Atlantic ports. The imports of wheat from Australia also show a

slight decrease as compared with the eight months in 1884. The exports so tar this year amount to £180,324,749, a decrease of 9-1 per cent. The imports of gold into the United Kingdom was £8,559,502 for the year so far, a de- crease of £192,572, although the export showed a larger decrease as compared with 1884.

The ‘“‘Kerrv Gow.”

Tne Market Hall was last evening filled with an appreciative audience, and the **Kerry Gow” was reproduced in a manner which did credit to Mr. Murphy’s excellent company. Notwithstanding it was the third time the play was produced under adverse circumstances, the interest in it seemed to increase, and the audience last evening did not fail to show their appreciation of the company’s efforts to perform the drama as it should be performed. The horse-shoeing scene was very good, and the witty sayings of the smithy kept the house in continual uproar. To-night the ‘‘Kerry Gow” will be again put on the board when we hope to again see a crowded house.

We see that the Summerside Journal, basing its information on a mistake of the St. John Teleyraph. charges the company with fraud. Joseph Marphy, now playing in Detroit, and J. S. Murphy, now playing in Charlottetown, are brothers. They have played with equal success in all the princi- ple cities in America, and it would require a sharp dramatic critic to distinguish a difference between the acting of either in the *‘ Kerry Gow” or “* Shaun Rhue.” If the Journal would look at the business circular of this company,-it would see that they clearly state that J. S. Mur- phy is brother of the Joseph Murphy, and that from his past record he (J S. M.) has no need of sailing under false colors.

A Denial

Sirz,—I have been accused of writing a letter signed ‘*Professor Thaw,” which ap peared in your issue of Monday last. I most positively state that I did not write or die tate one word contained in it, nor do I know or have any idea who the writer of said letter is, I doe not intend any longer to be made a scapegoat of by scribblers who are anxious for any ~pportunity to oceur, whereby they can fling their insulting slurs at me. An those slurs come from the one channel, I treat them with that contempt they deserve.

THE monument lately erected by Mr. E. G. Hunter over the grave of Mrs. Patrick McCarey, in the new Catholic Cemetery, is one of the most chaste and beautiful in the ground. It is in six pieces—the ground base being of Wallace freestone, upon this s a niarble base, next is the pedestal. Resting on the pedesta! is a cap with four gables, above each of which is a_ cross. Above this cap is an octagon base upon which stands the cross which completes the structure. The cross whichis very beauti fulin design, is turned and gloss finished. The base, pedestal and cap aré exch inould ed and embellished with clegant tracery. The height of the whole monument is about 8 feet. In design and in workmanship as wellas in the material employed we pro- nounce it first-class.— Herald.
