Crcops—Here and in the Northwest.

Harvest is unusually late this year ; and the results are by no means so cheering as they promised to bea'monthago. If,however, the fine weather which began this morning, should continue for a week or two, our farmers, and all who depend upon their produce, may still rejoice in the important fact that there will be plenty to eat, and something to spare. The bad weather, has, however, affected considerably the quality of the hay and grain. It was quite impos- sible, for even the most watchful and care- ful farmers to secure their crops in first class order,—thouzh it is wonderful what

those who manage well have accomplished

in this regard. Speaking generally, the hay crop is short and not very well saved. A Jarger acreage of wheat than last year has not produced results equally satisfactory, as weevil and rust has done some damage, and wet weather has made Of oats and

to say that a considerable quantity of oats has been lost in the fields, ard that barley has suffered more or less deterioration. As to roots, the principle contained in the saying, “it is too soon to count chickens before they are hatched,” will still apply—though the probability is that the yield will be

large and the quality good. Fruits of all

kinds are abundant.

Wheat Prespects. A London (G. B.) correspondent writes, (Sept. 14.): **On the continent and throughout the United Kingdom the weat er for the past week has been good, and farmers have secured largely of their outstanding wheat. With continued fay- vrable weather, afew days muvre will en- able them to harvest the balance in fair condition. The wheat markets have ail been dull and have declined two or three ‘ats per bushel with buyers only present requirements. The outlook is for lower prices. Corn,in sympathy with wheat, has been dull and drouping.

Che Bristol (England) Times says: ** The

parishioners of Lullington had a very pleasant sight on Sunday—a bishop and three of his sons engaged in the conducting

of divine service, a picture certainly unique ane assuredly unsurpassed in the histories of many of our parish churches. The pre- late wes the Most Reverend the Lord Bishop of Fredericton and Metropolitan of Canada, who was habited, in addition tv the ©} iscopal robes worn on his former visit, with the hood of his recently-con- ferred degree from Cambridge University. His three sons were the Rev. J. B. Medley, the respected vicar of the parish; the Rey. ©. Medley, canon ot Fredericton cathedral, New Brunswick, and the Rev. E. Medley, Norwich. In the morning the vicar read the prayers, the lessons being taken by his brother, the Rev. E. Medley. In the ante- Communion service the canon read the Epistle, the bishop the Gospel, the vicar the rest, with the exception of the absolu- ion, until the Prayer of Consecration, when his place was taken by his reverend father, who continued the service unto the end. Inthe actual communion, of which there was a good number of corumunicants, all four ‘vere engaged in the administration.

The attention of a prominent Cabinet |

minister of Canada was called to the recent erican contention to the effect that not- withstanding the possibility that article 29 of the Washington treaty is still operative, the American government is justified in re- taliating on the ground that the Canadians have vivlated that article by refusing tran- shipment of the cargoes of fishing vessels. The minister in reply asserted the conten- t.oa to be untenable, because at the Hali- f=x commission a resolution was put for- ward by the American counsel asserting that the matters referred to in article 29 were not subjects within the scope of that commission, didi The British Consul at San Francisco has ‘tasde an official report in which he states that the progress in fruit raising in Cali- fornia is something wonderful.

THE DAILY EXAMINER, -

The Business Side of Retaliation.

(The Empire.)

Mr. Blakeley Hall, a special correspon- dent of the New York Sun, writes from Ottawa to his journal on the effect of the Cleveland Retaliation Message. Mr. Hall appears to have got hold of at least one citi- zen of the United States, travelling in Canada, who fully appreciates the conse- quences of Retaliation. He does not give the gentleman’s name, but he gives reasons for withholding it:—

‘‘ The fact is,” he said, ‘the conditions of public sentiment are so curiously involved in Canada just now, and my interests are 80 ex- tensive that I am afraid to allow my name to be used, though I think it may do no harm to give publicity of the results of my recent ex- periences.

How retaliation strikes a United States merchant having large business trausac- tions with Canada will appear from the fol- lowing :

‘*T have within the past ten years brought into America and sent out of the country again into Canada materials used in railroad construction amounting to over 300,000 tons. l am, therefore, familiar with the conditions of the trade between the two countries, and pai ticularly with that branch of it relating to the traasshipment of bonded goods. ‘This year I have taken a trip along the Canadian Pacific and Grand Trunk railroads in connec- tiou with business matters of importance. I have just arrived in Ottawa after making a tour which had occupied two months. During this time 1 have talked with Canadians of all degrees and conditions, and think that I have a fair idea of the general settlement of the country.”

** What is it?”

‘In the first place, the recent action of the President in the direction of retaliation has had the effect of making Canada a nation.

‘he change hes been growing gradually with the people for years, but the President's Mes- sage brought it to a finish. Heretofore people whom I met referred to themselves as Eng- lishmen, Scotchmen or Irishmen. Now they speak of themselves only as Canadians. When a Scotchman gives up his nationality, you may make up your mind that he has adopted a new one in earnest. This change strikes me as being significant.”

Mr. Hall's informant descends to par- ticulars which are interesting :

** Concerning the retaliation measure itself, 1 believe that Canadians are becoming more and more of the opinion that its effect will be

nhappy for the United States, and decidedly favorabie to Canada. The Canadian Pacific and Grand Trunk railioads spent nearly $1,090,000 in less than three years in passing their materials over American roads. This would be impossible under the proposed law as outlined in the Retaliation Bill. It is true that such lines are not built every year, but it will not be long before the toads will have to be double-tracked, and the whole North- west of Canada is looking up in such an ex- traoirdinary fashion that new railroads are becoming matters of necessity everywhere there.’

‘** Remember,” added the merchant, wagging a large forefinger impressively, ‘* that I speak by the card. ‘Let me give you an instance. In the little town of Brandon, which is a thousand miles from anywhere, and which, four years ago, consisted of a little grass, fess trees and a swarm of emaciated and exhaust- ed mosquitoes. When I passed through there eight days ago the place had actually grown into a town of respectable importance. I have seen nothing that was more significent wince the early growth Zof Minneapolis. It an instance of the general jump and enterprise and prosperity in the Northwest of the Dv- minion.

‘*The retaliation measure will debar us from supplying any of the demands which this growth will cailfor. Mr. Blaine is generally regarded as having rather a shrewd eye for the main chance, and the manner in which he has fought the bill goes far toward explaining the increased Republican majority in Maine, Portland is M«ine, and Blaine is fighting for Portland Take away the business of the Canadian Pacific and Grand Trunk roads from Portland, and yoa take away the p osperity of the State, for nothing then remains to Maine but the lumber trade, which is rapidly dwindling.”

This seems to be pretty plain speaking, and goes to show that it is dawning on the United States mind that their President’s policy is based on the idea of ‘‘ cutting off your nose to spite you face,” and is not ex- actly in the line of statesmanship. The United States citizen who has been supply- ing Canada with railway material, goes on to say:

‘* The great trouble with that bill is that it hits the wrong party. The bluenose fisher- men in Prince Edward Island, Nova Sewtia, and New Brunswick slap the Americans in the face, and the Americans turn around promptly and smite the unoffending inhabit- ants of Ontario and Manitoba. Nothing in the new retaliatory measures is more absurd than the manner in which the real culprits are allowed to escape, and your best friends here and the buyers and producers of Western and North-western Canada are cornered and embarrassed.

‘*Concerning the amount ef shipping (freight?) passing through the United states tor Canada, I should say that the statements made at Washington in regard to this matter were decidedly wrong. I don’t know much about statesmenship, but I pay freight bills, and one of them for Canadian freight through New York about three years ago came to $190,000. The sort of statesmanship that would take away from us this freight strikes one as impressive.”

‘* What would be a fair estimate of a year’s busivess in the shipment of Canadian goods in bond through the United States?”

‘** Not a penny less than $75,000,000.

This appears to be a pretty level-headed condemnation of the President’s policy, that policy for which citizens of the United States have been hurrahing so loudly. It suggests, however, ideas which Canadians wilt do well to consider seriously. Why should we pass $70,000,000 a year of im- ports and exports through United States ports and over United States railways when we dv not need to pass a dol'ar’s worth? Why should we pay those freight bills of **$190,000” at a time, when we can import our rails direct without paying a cent of tribute to the United States railways or a cent of commission to United States railway supply men? Why should 300,000 tons of railway materials have come to us from England via the United States and through the hands of foreign commission houses, | when every ton of this immense body of | material could have been handled by our | people, leaving the commissions, freight, labor, ete., in our own country, building jup our own ports and strengtheving the traffic of our own railways.

Railway Accident.

MAN BADLY INJURED AT SUMMERSIDE.

This afternoon about 2 o'clock, when the western train, in charge of Condue- tor Thompson, was leaving Summerside, 4 very sad accident occurred, It appears that about three-quarters of a mile from the station there 1s an up-grade, up which the freight trains, when heavily loaded, sre helped by the station engine. As the engines were taking the train over this grade, a brakeman named Charles Villiers, while connecting the bell rope over some flat cars that belonged to the train, fell, somehow, between two of the ears and had his right arm broken and his right leg so fearfully crushed that it will have to be amputated. It is not known whether the wheels passed over him or whether he was jammed between the cars. The train was stopped at once, and the unfortunate man taken to the Russ Hotel. Drs. Jarvis and Bearisto were called in and by them the broken arm was set. Valliers is a strong young fellow about 23 years of age, and it is thought will soon recover, though he will suffer the loss of his leg.

“Major Wright, of Centreville, aad two daughters, took passage for Halifax on the steamer St. Lawrence this morning.

Mr. John L. McKinnon, lately editor of the Guardian, left for Summerside on Monday evening. It is reported that he intends leav- ing the Province.

James Hannay, the historian of Acadia, has began to publish a newspaper inthe rising town of Parrsboro, N. 8. It is called the Cumberland Leader.

Bishop Whipple, of Minnesota, should be proud of the name by which he is known among the Indians, for whom he has done so much. He is called ** The Straight Tongue and “ The Father Who Dou’t Lie.”

Sir Morell Mackenzie continues to live in| retirement, hard at work on his history of | the late Emperor's illness. The greatest in- terest is felt in Mackenzie's work. The date of publication is not yet definitely fixed upon, but will not be much longer delayed.

Mr. Chauncey Depew, who has returned from Europe, says that *‘the most delightful | thing ou’ side of the United States is English hospitality.” The Empire remarks that when the lion’s tail is put into his hand later on, however, he will have to give it a retaliatory twist.

Dr. McKay, member for Cape Breton in the Nova Scotia House, had a remarkable escape | from death by lightning. An examination of his clothing revealed a small hole in the back | of his overcoat collar, such a hole as a pistol | ball would make, and similar holes in his undercoat and vest, but smaller and lower! down.

From this point down the spine, the | skin was slightly burned, leaving a somewhat | zigzag-shaped mark; thence down the leg, scorching it slightly, and to the foot, where | there is a burn. The shoestring was com- | pletely cut on this foot. i _-—_—-- News Notes. —

Its population is now 5,000 and is increasing daily, and is the largest cual-producing centre in Canada | The mines disburse $45,000 every month in wages to some 1,200 men and boys, and most of the money goes to enrich the farmers of the surrounding country.

Work is being pushed on the Halifax dry dock anda _ perfect army of men is | employed in the different branches of the construction. Some delay has been caused for want of men; stonecutters have been | imported from Scotland and the United) States, and laborers from Newfoundland. Some idea can be had of the magnitude of the work when it is stated 6,000 tons of cement will be used for concrete and §2,000 cubic feet of granite goes into the structure. It is expected the dock will be tinished and in operation next year.

The proposition that all the world loves a lover probabiy does not hold good in Jack- sonville now. This whole yellow fever busi- ness is a love affair, or the result of a love; affair.

McCormick, the man who bronght ! the yellow fever to Jacksonville, was a lov- | er. His sweeheart was in Lampa, and Tem. | p was isolated on account of yellow fover. ; But yellow or no yellow fever, MeCormack wanted to see his girl; so he managed to pass | the cordon and steal an interview with his! love. Then he came back to Jacksonville and brought yellow fever with him. Surgeon | General Hamilton is authority for this short’ history of the spread of yellow fever. It is) another confirmation of the wisdom of the. sage who once declared there was a woman | at the bottom of every mischief.
