% 5 | ns DAILY EXAMINER DECEMBER 29, 1885. THé The Mails. Mr Unsworth, the United States and New Sur for the special kindness of Brunswick mails for this Province, which lay at Pictou all last night, and until one o'clock to-day, as well as the Canadian and ether mails, would have remained in Georgetown to-night, all day to-morrow and to-morrow night, and would not have reached Charlottetown until near mid-day on Monday! We have to thank Mr. Uns worth for his kindly interposition as to the existing mail arrangement; and to express the hope that he will soon have authority from headquarters to provide special train to run in connection with the Stanley. eo What of Canada? Rev. L. G. McNett, (one of our Island boys) writes from St. John, N. B., for the Christmas number of the Evening Telegram) of St. John’s, Nfld. ‘But what of Canada? Are you one of those who think poorly of tier loyalty and patriotism? Far from it. I love Canada. I hate those who have this splendid land. I denounce all disloyal croakers and treason- loving mountebanks who love to belittle their country. 1 rejoice to know that their number grows beautifully less from day to day. ‘“‘We are getting clear of sectionalism. Men used to talk of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, P. E. Island, Cape Breton; now they speak of Canada, and these are but names of parts of Canada. We have the best falf ot! North America, and the half destined the next two centuries to surpass the southern half. The ! witht day will come when ‘sna shali bear the same relation to tie Unit States, in wealth, p pu. stion, nora in intellectual and political power, that Cer many andl other northern countries o! Europe bear to their more luxurious south- ern neighbors. Our national] sun is only just above the horizon, but it is fast ascend- ing the heavens. Only gigantic national works have given us unity. We are almost within sound of the Pacific. We daily get more and more familiar with the lakes, the mountains, the plains and prairies of this wide-spreading country. It is getting old-fashioned to ou view. We run to Montreal, or Toronto, o: Winnipeg, or Victoria, and back, and we be- gin to feéi that this is a land worth living in worth developing. We are willing, and even glad, to be taxed for railways, canals, docks, diedyges, ship railways, subways, and public works of every kind. Feeling that the lines have fallen to us in pleasant places, we are zealous toimprove and deve op our goodly heritage. We are daily and hourly increasing the volume of our national spirit and life. We are only araused with his published plans and proposals for ovr capture and conquest. It pieases him, but does not injure us. If the time should ever come, which may God forbid, when there should be serious need of defend- ing our homes and our land, I believe that everyiman in Canada would rally to the frentier and, rather than allow a foe to tread npoa our sacred soil, would gladly lay down hie life. Foreigners cannot understand the spirit of the people untii they have lived some time in the country. 1 see it rising and grow- ing stronger and deener, and I recognize it as one of the most promising elements in our national future.” Ore Editorial Notes. some of the has recently ‘*terrifie blizzard.” Commenting upon this statement, the Empire risez to remark that *‘ what the United States papers do not know about this country would, and occasionally does, take up columns of their more or less valu- able space.” --Canads, according to United States newspapers, been visited by a ~The official trade returns for the fiscal year ending June 30th, 1888, show that as compared with the previous year, the ex- ports of Canada increased half a million; the tetal imports increased nearly two mil- lions; and the imports for consumption de- creased over three millions.

We send you greetings amid the scent of blooming flowers and bright sunshine. --The Pall Mall Gazette, in describing Suakim as a “slaughter house,” remarks that during 1884 and 1885 above 9,000 lives were lost in the battlefields surround- ing it. The massacre of Baker’s Egyptian force by the Arabs cost 2,200 lives at one stroke. Gen. Graham’s victories at Teb and Tamai were won after the slaughter of 4,590 Arabs, and 2,000 more were killed subsequently at Hasheen and on Baker’s battlefield. The British !oss in these bat- tles was between 200 and 300. —Says the American Banker: ‘* The Liberal press of the Dominion has tempor- arily dropped the annexation question tu esail the Hon.

For some time past there is no more obvious occasion for war than there was six months since, there is a very much greater apprehension of it. It is the personality of the new German Kim- peror that has wrought this change. Those who wish to realize how powerful an ele- ment this already is will do well to read an article in the just issued number of the Nineteenth Centur , on the recent change in European affairs. Since his accession, Wiliam II. has been at St. Petersburg, Vienna and Rome, and in each capital his presence has been a disturbing influence. At St. Petersburg his visit probably sug- gested fresh reasons for not allowing France to be destroyed at the pleasure of Germany. At Vienna the subordinate position which \ustria-Hungary is meant to hold in the Triple Alliance was made needlessly ap- parent, with the result, as may be sup- posed, of making the alliance itself, less liked. At Rome, where the Emperor had two Sovereigns to deal with, he contrived, is regards one of them, to undo pretty effectually the reconciliation it cost Prince Bismarck so much time and so many sacri- tices to bring about. More important, perhaps, than any one of these results is the general impression of combined force and rashness that the Emperor has left be- hind him. ‘The question,” says the writer of the article, ‘‘has often been isked, who will fill Prince Bismarck’s place vhen he drops? Who can fill it?) My wrsuasion is that the young Emperor nswered that question to himself some ime ago. He proposes to fill the Chancel- r’s place hoinself; and it was partly, per- known, part y is uot beyond his bap s, Toro ins ke purpose t show at ice that i reach that he rushed into the role of vigor- ous statesmen at the earliest moment. * * * Mav it not bethat considerations point to “will > : : se 1 peace. Will not Russia be more anxious than before to avoid a war which might, in the end, make Germany paramout 1D Europe? Ifthe Triple Alliance becomes less popular in Austria, there will be isposition to embark in a conflict which would make the demand of Germany at nce more exacting and more impossible to i 1 iss refuse. A coolness between the German Emperor and the Pope will only make the German Alliance more popular with the unti-Papal party, which holds an undisput- eisupremacy in the Chamber, and, it would seem, among the registered electors. In one way or another the interests of peace have been well served. In one quar- ter, it would seem as thongh the Triple Alliance has been strengthened, and the disposition to put it to the test of experi- ment has been lessened. * 3 - But there are other considerations which seem to suggest a less encouraging conclu- sion. Distrust of the young Emperor may, it is true, dispose his possible adversaries or his actual allies to play a waiting game, how he is going to get on with his own subjects to allow time for the full de- velopment of his plans and intentions. That isa very natural and reasonable way of dealing with a young and untried Em- peror. But it is not a method to which the young and untried Emperor may care to lend himself. He will be more disposed, | should imagine, to force the running and to lose no time in giving the neighboring Powers the choice whether they are to be counted as against or on his side. This is the more likely because it is far from cer- tain that his subjects will yield him the same contented obedience which they yield- ed to his grandfather. WilliamlI. had a double title to the forbearance of German Liberals. He had made Germany, and he was so old that those among them who were most impatient for a change knew they could not have long to wait for it. William II. possesses neither claim. As yet he is simply the inheritor of other people’s labors ; and he is only at the be- ginning of what may prove to be an un- usually long reign. Itis not improbable that affairs in the Reichstag may go less smoothly than they have gone of late years, and then the temptation to build up the same kind of a reputatian that made the close of his grandfather's career so striking a contrast to its commencement might easily prove more than he could resist. *,% King Milan seems as though he would scald his fingers in the hot water into which he has plunged them. Desiring to call the attention of his subjects off from his scan- dalous divorce of Queen Nathalie, he an- nounced that he would give Servia a new and more democratic constitution. The elections have shown that the Radical party, as it is called, are in the ascendancy, and that there is a disposition to reject some of the articles of the proposed consti- tution. The King declares that they must take all or leave all, and as they will not do the former and show no disposition of yielding to the latter, a revolution is feared. Milan has, it is undérstood, invoked the aid of the Emperor of Austria ; but seeing that Russia would not stand the interfer- ence of Austria, it looks as though the Ser- vian King would lose his throne as the due reward of his misdeeds. %% Further reinforcements are to be sent to Gen.

The Finance Minister does not think it his duty to learn how the ~ ww - \~fby"hOd on their arrival active “perations will be immediately begun. Meantime, a 64-pounder has been mounted by the sailors, and heavy firing opened on the enemy’s fortifications. The execution which it did seems to have produced much impression on the Soudan- ese, who are expecting the arrival of Osman Digna with timely assistance. + . * . rn I have received the following query from M.

Neil McLeod for plaintiff; L. H. Davies, Q. C., and F. L. Haszard for defendants, John T. Peardon vs. Albert Parkman.— Action for $32.00 for rake sold.

Defence that it was not of quality warranted. Judgment for $34.00. F. L. Haszard for plaintiff. A number of other cases were also heard, of which we have been unable to obtain particulars. In suits of Trustees of Springton Schdol District No. 164, vs. Allen Martin, and same plaintiffs vs. Malcolm MeDonald, tried at Bonshaw and reserved, judgment was de- livered at the opening of this court. Plain- tiffs were nonsuited in both of these cases. In suit of Kenneth Morrison vs. Wm. H. Lord, tried at Belfast, judgment was re- served till next March term at Eldon. At the opening of the court, Anson Charles Parsons, an American citizen, ap- plied for naturalization. On motion of ". S. Stewart, Esq., his application was read in open court, and at the close of the court his certificate of naturalization was granted by the Judge, pursuant to ‘* The Natural- ization Act.” ental « <actttinas, Pers onal.
