MR. PETERS’ DEPARTURE.

Tue decision of Mr. Peters to emigrate to British Columbia and to enter into partoersbip with Sir Charles Hibbert Tapper has surprised many But it is not to be wondered at thiogs are considered. Mr. Peters sees in British Columbia, opened to commerce by far-reaching policy of Sir Joba Macdonald and Sir Charles Tupper, a section of the country in which an able lawyer may successfully exert his talents end arich man profitably employ his eapita!l, The Toronto Globe to hand this morning says:

“We perhaps rea'ize the change that is taking place in Canada with: the growth of the west. British Columbia hase an area of 332,300 square milex, being 163,000 larger than Uniario. It producers not éaly mioerals but timber, frat ani fish, the lact in such vast quantities that st certain times of the year there are heaps of eplendd fish foud that has virtually vo commercial value and is wasted for want of contumers. lt is a maritime Province, aad may reasonably expecta great shipping indusiry, anda large commerce with the United States, with Australia, with China and Japan. There is no reason to doubt that it is destined to overtake Ontario ia population, in wealth, in political importance. The Northwest Territories are jus: entering upoo the enjoyment of constitutional rights which bring them a long way nearer to the staiusof a Province. Between the Rocky Mountains and Manitoba’ there is room for half a dozen large Previnces. The centre of a political power is bound to move westward. Ontario, no matter Low rapid its progress may be, is bound to lose its overwhelmning political _pre- dotainance, and to occupy & position net ualike that of the State of New York inthe American Union. It will retain the lead fora long time, perbaps will never lose the lead; but it will pot egatinue to contain two-fifths of the popu- lation of Canada and to elect two fifths of the members of tbe Dominion Parliament. This is a prospect which the people of Ontario do not fear but welcome, for the Change is a necessary incident of the progress of Canada.”

Given an opportunity to personally investigate the conditions existing in British Columbia—into which British, United States and Canadian capital hae begun to pour—and to form in Brith Columbia a professional alli- ance with one of the ablest men in this country, Mr. Peters would have been falee tothe astuteness on his own behalf by which be has ever been characterized if he had not seized it.

Another strong treason why Mr. Peters should go British Columbia lies in the political difficulties by which he is con- fronted here. A great debt of close upon, if not fully, $500,000.00 has been heaped - up by a party which obtained office on the clear understanding of the people that the party would make ends meet” and keep taxation “ far off.’ In addition to this, a mum ber of liabilities have been ineurred. The Province has been committed to the erection of a costly new wing to the Hos- pital for the Insane and to the erection of au expensive new building for Prince of Wales College. Pledges have been given that a coal mine supposed tolie in the southern section of the Province will be developed. Steel bridges have been pro- mised to some lecalities. It is understood thet the Province stands bound to bear a large portion of the expense of bridging gue Hillsborough. The people, disap- pelnted and discontented by reason of existing and increasing taxes and debt, are ill-humored and disposed to kick, Even the party in the Legislature is no longer uuited, tractable or obedient, as the split in the present crisie proves. All these things are against Mr. Petere—remaining here ; and he escapes them all by removing to British Columbia.

—According to the latest returns the amounts loaned Provincial Governments at the end of wy ser ge were $14,018 by the Merchants of P. E. Island and $117,708 by the Merchants Bank of Hali- ax.

Sir Wilfrid Laurier has aseured the people of Quebec that there is nothing in the rumour that he had pl Jdeged himself

to deepen the channel between that city and Montreal tothirty feet. On their side, the Montreal people are building with cheerful confiJence on what they consider the binding promise of the Premier to have as soon as possible a clear 30 foot way thronghout that seetion of the St. Lawrence. The Mail and Empire per- tinently remarks that. Sir Wilfrid is

always creating double «ituations.

— Toronto Globe: Rev. Principal Grant, whose recent address to the studenta of Queen’s University has attracted much attention, is a native of Nova Scotia, ba ing been born at Steliarton, December 22, 1835. He completed his studies at Glasgow University. His first charge was a’ Georgetown, P. E. I, and subsequent!) St. Matthew’s Chureh, Halifax. A joursey across the continent with the firs Canadian Pacific Railway survey was described in the book “ Ocean to Ocean.”

In 1867 he wae offered a: secepted the

Principalship of Queen’ U.. v-.s'tv., Here the unusual abibtes of the ues Principal had full scope, and itis 1 too much to

say thet he has made Queen’s a new institution. What he has done for it cannot be related here, nor need be, as it ie & matier of common fame. The Master of Queeu’s is like the late Master of Ballioi, not merely a successful educationisi but @ great intellectual and moral influence on bis day aod geveration. aonseineiacsitattlan titties

ESTEEMED EXCHANGES:

Montreal Gazette: Mr. Haultain, the new premier of the Territories, bas asked that the prefix “Hon” shall pot be put to his name, as he has no right to it. It is teared that be will bardly set a fashion. The title has been sssumed or given so freely that it is plain there is a demand for it.

St. John Sun: The Charlottetown Guardian says that the Sun represents Messrs. Farqubarson, Laird and Sinelair as “struggling for the premiership.” Not at all. The Sun observed that Mr. Peters and his supporters were struggling over the choice of a premier. It may be, as the Guardian intimates, that Mr. Laird is not inthe running. And alas! we ured his nan @/n that connection on no better au- thority than the Guardian itself.

Montreal Star: “Thanksgiving Day is again fixed for Jate in November, when we shall have forgotten all about the harvest and feel thankful chiefly for @ grate-fire. The object is to coineide with the American Thankegiving. .Thia is fraternal and business-like; but we do not move Domin- ion Day from July lst to July 4th for that reason. Yetin this latter case the change would not require a jump of so many days: aid would spare us tworharp- ly consecutive breaks ia the stock market. Thaokegiving day, when proclaimed by the Canadian Government, is surely in- tended to be an occasion upon whirh the Canadian people can appropriately and with the most willing spirit render thanks fer the bleseings of the harvest, When could this be better done than in “brown October,” with the memory of the harvest fresh in our minds and nature extending to us a brisk and kindly invita- tation to spend most of the day with her out of doors? It is surely a holiday for the church, the fielda and the woods, and not for the hearthside in the library.

—Farmiog says that wheat growers may take a note of this fact: Ag soon as the good prices for wheat began to show themselves this fall there wasa very general disposition among American’ farmers to extend the area of their winter- wheat sowing. So very general was this feeling that it was supposed the total wheat acreage on the continent would be much greater than it wae last year. But the very genera] and protracted drouth of the past three months over all the middle and western States has made wheat-sowing m many places impossible; and where seeding has been already done it has, in a great many places, been found advisable to devote the land sown to some other purpose. So much is thie the case that it is now sup vf the continent will be less rather than usual. Ip other parts of the world similar drouths are reported, especially in Eur- ope. It looks, therefore, as if there might be a shortage in the wheat wheat supply gain next year.

Three cheers our gallant seaman gave, Nor thought of bome and beauty.

Along the line this signal ran,

*“Kogland expects that every man This day will do his duty.”

And now the cannon roar Along the afirighted shore; Brave Nelsou led the way. His ship the Victory named, Long be that Victory famed, For victory crowned the day.

But dearly was that conquest bought, loo well the gallant bero fought For England, home and beauty. He cried, as “midst the fire he ran, **iogland shal! tind that every man lhis day shall co his duty !”

Che report ofthe co: responding secretary, Mrs. Atkinson, Monctoa, N. B., suows that 445 unions are now flourishing throughout the Dominion, with a total membership of 10,10t. This is an iocrease of 1,702 mem bers. The embership is by provinces in Ontario, 5,110; Quebec, 2.034; Nova Scouea 785; New Brunswick, 766; Manitoba, 579; British Columbia, 300; Northwest Terr- tories, 142; and Prince Edward Island, 242

The report of the supermtendent of franchise, Mre. Edwards, of Ottawa, was read by Mrs. Atkinson, owi: g to the form- er laly’s absence. It considered that public sentiment throughout Canada was ripening fast for the enfranchisement of Canadian womanhood.
