Cuarces Tupper contributes an ex- cellent article to the Contemporary Re- view for May, dealing with the progress made by Canada since the ceming into power of the Liberal-Conservative admini- stration in 1878. The article, which is very temperate in tone, is replete with facts and figures which go far tu show that Canada has not retrograded since 1878, that she is not “‘going to the dogs” as the grit preas and apostles of blue ruin would have the people believe; but that, on the contrary, her development has been con- tinuous and healthy. Here are some of ihe tigures furnished by Sir Charles - “*tn 1878 Canada had 6,143 miles of rail- way; in 1890 she had 13,988. e “In 1878 Canada employed 23,102,551 tons of shipping in the coasting trade, and in the transport of her imports and exports by sea and on the great lakes; in 1890 Can- aia, in the same service, employed 41,243, - 215 tons of shipping. *‘In 1878 the letters and post-cards car- ried by the Post Office Department, num- bered 50,840,000; in 1890 they numbered 100,000,000. ‘Ia 1878 the deposits in the chartered banks inthe Dominion were $88,995,126; in 1890 they amounted to $197,895, 452. **In 1878 the money orders received and seit out by the Money Order Branch of the SIR Post Office Department amounted to §$7,-- 150,000; in 1890 they amounted to$11,907,- #62. “*In 1878 the business of the country re- quired a note circulation of $29,786,805; in 18M it required a note circulation of $47,- 417,71. “In 1878 the 4 per cent bonds of Canada were six below par; the quotation for Jan- uary, 1891, shows that they were on that date 9 above par. “In 1878 the production of coal in Can- ada was 1,152,873 tons; in 1890 it was near- ly 3,000,000 tons. **In 1878 the value of exported Canadian made cheese was $3,997,521: and during tne whole period of liberal rule this im- portant industry had stood still. **In 1890, the value of exported cheese was $9,372,212; the highest in any year, and greater than that of the United States, %+ it has been for three years past. ** In 1878, the exports of cattle amounted tv $1,152,334, and of sheep, to $699,337; in 1890, the exports of cattle were $6,649,- 418, and of sheep, $1,234,347. ** In 1878, the exports of manufactures of wood, including sawn lumber, staves, shingles, box shooks, etc., were $12,908, - 629 im value; in 1890, these exports were valued at $20,659,348. “* In 1878, the export of home manufac- tures, including manufactures of wood as above, were $18,182,647; in 1890, they were $25,530,003, ** The extent to which the National Pol- icy developed the manufactures of the country is partly seen in the fact that the import of raw material for manufacturing purposes in 1879 was $5,342,912; and that in 1890 it had risen to over $16,000,000.” These figures are all taken from official sources and may, therefore, be relied upen ae correct. They show that during the pericd under consideration Canada has made substantial progress and is still prospering. Sir Charles has certainly done Canada a great service in thus directing attention to her almost marvellous advancement. — The final returns from Algoma give Macdonnell, Conservative, a aajority of 448.

WHAT WaS DONE AT KINGSTON LAST WEFK, The Presbyterian General Assembly met at Kingston, Ont., at ten o'clock on Thurs- day morning; but after passing a resolu- tion expressing sympathy with Lady Mac- donald and her family in their bereave- ment, the Assemuiy adjourned until the evening to give members an opportunity of attending Sir Jobn’s funeral. At the evening session, Kev. John Me- Millan of Halifax, presented the home mis- sion report of the eastern section. ‘The facts presented were highly encouraging. Within five years the contributions have increased nearly three-fold, from $4,000 to $11,000. The contributions for missions in Manitoba and the Northwest were over $3,000. Rev. P. M. Morriscn presented the aug- mentation report, showing the prosperous and hopeful condition of the fund. Four aid receiving congregations have become self sustaining. ‘he $9000 asked from the congregations have been given, being $1000 over the previous year. Fifty-six cougre- gations were aided. More new congrega- tions are coming on the fund that are be- coming self-sustaining, Great improve- ment is reported in all congregations Dr. Cochrane presented the report of the western section. The number of fields is JUG; preaching stations, 880; families, 10,200; amouut paid for stations, $63,000; paid by stations, $45,000, The total re- ceipts of the hoine mission, west, is $121,- 000; east, $21,000. Total over the whole church $135,000. The augmentation fund of the western section is less successful than in the east. The indebtedness of the western section is only $1,400 At the morning sessien on Friday it was proposed to wipe out the deficit in the aug- mentation fund by reducing the grants to congregations by $3)to $59 each. The fund is short $4,287. The moderator was instructed to prepare * brief address to be read in all the con- gregations of the church and widely circul- ated by the Presbyterians, setting forth the great importance of the augmentation fund as a necessary part of the work of the church, and entitled to the hearty support of all its congregations. In the afternoon it was decided to give Rev. Mr. Finlay, Superintendent of mis- sions in Muskoka and Algoma, an increase of $200 per year, making it $1,400. At the evening session reports of the foreign mission fund, eastern section, show. ed that the receipts were $28,553.22: of the western division, $86,972. The expen- diture of the eastern section was $34,364 ; of the western section $87,195. a A ot The Rifle. INTER-CITY TELEGRAPH MATCH—-THE HOME TEAM’S SCORE. —_ EXAMINER, | Two Sudden Deaths. MR. JAMES TANTON AND MRS. JAMES PHILLIPS SUDDENLY CALLED aWay, Mr. James Tanton, of the Back Road, Summerside, retired to rest last night at the usual hour and in hia usual health. During the night Mrs. Tanton was roused from her slumber by the trembling of her husband, aud taking hold of his arm to shake him she found it quite limp. Be- coming alarmed, she got out of bed and lighted the lamp, only to find that her husband was dying. Mr. Tanton passed away in the course of a few minutes, leaving his wife terribly stricken at his sudden death. Mr. Tanton was elderly man, and was well-known and high- ati lived, Mrs, James Phillips, of Lot 4, had paralyitic stroke on Saturday, and passed away alinost immediately. ——_ -° =e +e Of to Greenland. EXPLORING PARTY NORTH SYDNEY, AN ARCTIC PUTS INTO The Arctic exploring steamer Kite with Lieut. Peary’s party, who ate to discover the northern border of Greenland, now supposed to be near the pole, was at North Sydney on the 12th coaling, and left for Disco, Greenland, next morning. On reaching Greenland, the party will divide, Lieut. Poary's people wintering at Whale Sound aud proceeding north next spring, and the others representing the Academy of Natural Science, to explore the Green- land coast as far north as the 77th parallel. The most interesting person on board is Mrs. Peary, a handsome woman of twenty- six, who accompanies her husband, Fit- teen months will be taken by this frigid trip, and during that time she will remain at the winter quarters for three months. Next summer she will be there in company only of her negro servant, who is not like- ly, however to stand the climate, as he al- ready shivers night and day, and his jaws so chatter with the cold that his teeth have become loosened. Peary explored Green- land five yeara ago, and his theory is that the interior of Greenland, covered by an ice cap one mile thick in places, is quite smooth back from the coast and affords an easy means of reaching the extreme north by sledges. He believes 20 miles per day can be made without trouble. Ample pro- visions are being taken and it is expected to take up the caches left by Nares in 1874. The Kite’s company number six- teen. Alex.

The last of the excursions to Pictou by the Steam Navigation Company's steamer Northumberland took place on Saturday. Owing to the wet morning, net so many excursionists went as had intended, but those who did go were well satisfied with the trips The staamer left Charlottetown at twenty minutes to 8, andin three hours afterwards the party were safely landed at Pictou after an exceedingly pleasant. trip. Owing to the rain, the amusements on the way over were almost entirely confined to the saloon, where the piano was brought into use by several who fully understood how vo bring forth its most melodious strains. The weather cleared up shortly after the steamer’s arrival at Pictou and several hvurs were spent enjoying what is to be seen around the quaint ld town, The school children and some of the younger teachers were rather amused at the old market house and surprised to learn that its exact counterpart once adorned the Market Square, Charlotte. town, but were shocked to learn that during the Prince of Wales’ visit here many years ago, the authorities deemed it prudent for the sake of the city to cover it with spruce trees. The Acadia nursery was called at, and every attention was shown oar visitors by the enter- prising proprietor, The return trip was very enjoyable, the rain and the clouds having cleared away, and the sun shining brightly, made everything bright and cheerful. The school children romped around snd perha did a little flirting, notwithstanding that the eyes of their teachers were upon them. The teachers, however, had their owe to attend to. The return trip wa8 made in three hours and a few minutes. It is superflous to say that Captain Cameron did all in his power to make the excursion pleasant, but it may be wag to him to know that he was success. ul, ee WAGES OF THE GriP.—It is said that lave been no less than fifty deaths gtippe at the Magdalen Islands since gase broke out there. the fro the & IN Memortam.—Mrs. Lafferty, of this city, has erected a very nice cap monument ment over the grave of her late husband, The monument was the flects much credit.
