FEBRUARY 3, 1898. NOTES AND COMMENTS.

me —Now for the candidates’ cards. Where dothe gentlemen stand, anyway?

—The fees at McGill University are to |

be increased from $30 to $60 a year per student.

—The prize list of the NovaScotia ex- hibition has been issued. Sixteen thousand dollars are to te distributed in premiums. The exbibition is to be beld from the 22nd tw the 30th September next.

—There are in New England 4,300 a! an- doned farms, says the New York Herali, the value of which bas sunk to aminimum, and yearly the number of neglected acres, once frauitrul and the homes of the best and patriotic +t ck America has known, is increasing t» such an extent that a practicable aod immediately appli- cable remedy is looked for.

—Accord ng to the bargein between the Governnent an th favored contractors —teners were ni’ c¢ Ile —th Yukon aynod c:te ix r ceive 3,750,000 screr of mn veral lends for b ileirg @ rei’ way to the Klo kile. Thecy ot the Libera pre- ¥ ov te the election was “derth 1» mono-~ polies” and th: gover: mens hee cremied a large mining monopely which will greatly resirict and hemper the « pr rations Cf pros- pectors and miners.

—The following clipping is from an English paper, and refers to the growing of sugar beet in that country : “The gevtle. men promoting it are certainly not as- suming too much in modestly characteriz ing their scheme a5 an experimect in the suitability of the crop to these is.ands.

It hav already been established by careful triale that many parts of England will produce as good beet as any foreige soun-

mors

s

try. The Suffolk experiment fatled for reasons quite apart from aay question of the soil’s capacity.”

—Atthbe provincial convention of the

Patrons of Industry, held at Winn yeg a few days ago, the. name of the Organizat ou was changed to the Lodastrial Independent Association. ‘Lhe revised platform seeks cooperative action in production, trans- portation, etc., honesty in elections, and disfraochisement of corrupt voiers anv re- presentatives, probibition, establish went of a railway commission, reduction of railway rates, Government ownership of railways to be built, abolition of the Senate, w: man suffrage, free trade, and direct taxat.on, immediate abolition of the chief tariff «vile, destruction of the elevator monopoly, and several other radical! reforms.

—The Liverpool Journal of Commerce refers to the Laurier governnient’s Fast Atlantic scheme and says: This question has not teen very prominently before the public for some little time now, but it } must not be assumed that it is out of the

inds of the firm which undertook to

“wide a 20-knoat service or furfeit $1,

d.. Mr. Petersen, of the firm of Messrs. Jetersen, Tate & Co, has imerviewd rome | three or four prominent Liverpool shipowners in connection with the service. The results we believe, bave scarcely been of a character likely to inspire enthnsiasin. It isto be feared that the responsibility was somewhat lightly undertaken, consid ering the position assumed by those who had special kaewledge aud experieoce.”

The Empire (London): There no doubt tnat a crisis has arrived in interna tional affairs, which will demand all tbe diplomatic skill of the Cabinet, and all the support of the Britisb peopie for any de- decision that circumstances may compel the Ministers to take. *The complications in foreign poliuics are somposed of many elements which all compe) Great Britain to make this firm stand. We have to face keen competition on all sides— competition with the Germans at home and abroad, with the French in Africa, with the Russians in Coina. Grave troubles in India aod an embarrassing situstion in South Africa add to the difficulties of the sitna- tion. Lord Salisbury has vot hesitated to

HUSBAND'S MOTHE RK

—— ——

The Mether-in-Law Should be Treated With Special Deference,

‘Bear anything before you permit your- self to complain to your husband of his mother’s faults,” writes Mrs. Burton K ngaland on ‘*The Duty of the Daugbter- } 10 Law,” in the February Ladies’ Home | Journal. “Say to your own soul, ‘May God do so to me,and more also, if I ever do | anything to rob a mother of a fraction of her child’s love.’ The sturdy toddier at your side may make you a mother-in-law some day,and a8 you snow now F0 you will reap. Should you ever find it neces- sary to break through your rule of silence never speak while under irritation.

“Few attentions will please her more than to seek her to tell any bit of news that you may baye heard, Aside from the fact that the average old person feels a lively interes! in the affairs of friends and neigh~ bors, she will value, more then all, the implied wiel for her sympathy in seeking her to share your budget. Treat her with special honor and deference in the presence of your servants, your children and your friends. Their conduct will be modeled after your example. ln imagination,

put yourself often in her place. It will help you to be fair avd kind. If you have slready had unpleasant experience of your mother-in- jaw’s

presence in your home, if her peculiarities grate upon you, if she is intrusive, irritat~ ing, apt to interfere with your manpages ment of children or hou-ehold, 1 cao only repeat the same furmula—‘Make her love you.’ It may savor of the old cepy-book precept, ‘Be good aad you will be happy,’ but to overcome evil with good is the di- vine prescription, and notuing can long resiet Christlike methods, At least, the experimeut is well worth the trial.” ae © ae

December was a very busy month in the matter of the promotion of new companies io England, makinga total capital offered in 1897 £158,000,00-—the largest amount since 1889.

Onions are almost the best nervine known. No medicine is so useful in cases of nervous prostration, and there ia nothing else that willso quick!y relieve and tone up @ WOrnout system. Onions are useful in all cases of coughs, colds and influenza, ia consumption, insomnia, hydrophobia, scurvy, gravel and kindred Jiver com- plaints. Eaten every o'her day, they soon have a clearipg and whitening etfect on the complexion.

The following circular has been issued by the Foreign Office: “Lhe Gewseral in Command in the Soudan will allow corre- spondents representing any newspapers or news agency to travel as faras rail head, unless in bis opinion it is undesirable on military grounds thar they should do so. His discretion as to whether in any case lie will give permission, or as tothe condi- tion on which it may be given, cannot in apy way be interfered with.”

Indigaation at Tignish.

(By Telephone.)

Ticwisn, Feb. 3,—Great indignation is felt here over the fact that our maile, which came to Alberton last €vening, are held there, until the arrival of this even- ing’strain. The opinion is freely express- ed around the streets here today that the Post Office Inspector must think us all aeleep or he would have endeavored to get Qur mailt here Jast night by team at an expenditure to ihe department nct exceeding two dollars. We have time and again. in past years, been sul jected to this state of affaires, and we warn Mr. Brecken if this offence is repeaved he must we prepared for a vigorous protest to headquarterr. We felt it was an extra- ordinary procedure on the part of the railway authorities to cancel yesterday’s train to Alberton and return ber from there this morning when the road was clear to Tignish at 8 o’clock last night.

z 2 SLONKE QUESTION,

Sir,—Please allow me space for one werd respecting the Guard.an remarke on that portion of the City Accounts relat: ing to the purchase of stone, etz., for tLe ttreets. Has the editor been asleep for the past eight years that he did. net dis. cover this before? Hasa Councillor no discretionary power? I« he net placed there to do justice in all transactions udd to care for the interests of the citizens ? Can the charge of frand or any attempt of fraud against the chairman of the Street Committee in this orany other matter be made? Let us have it. Now is-the timets speak. We fee] cou fident thatthe chairman of the committee onstreets hash onestly anl fairly dove his duty during hie term of office. Itis forthe people now to pass judgmeat onjlis conduct, and with them

alone the maiter uow rests.
