We con- Government and its gallant We look to the future now in the firm hope and gratulate the supporters on their notable success. belief that the winter of governmental ex- travagance and jobbery, of legislative in- capacity and folly, is over, and that a glori- oussummer of prudence, economy and ability in the conduct of public affairs is about set in. We are not, however, disposed to ex- ult overmuch. True, the Liberal Con- servative party has succeeded wonderfully. But it heritage of an empty treasury and an estate has succeeded to the beggarly reduced by thriftless mismanagement and wanton extravagance to the verge of bank- ruptcy. It has succeeded to quated, cumbrous and expensive piece of machinery called a civil service, by which its public affairs are conducted. It has succeeded to an unwieldy and expensive Legislature. It has succeeded to a hetero- an anti- genious mass of laws and regulations which must be repealed, amended, collated and consolidated. Ina word, it has succeeded to exceedingly heavy and grave responsi- bilities. We fee! sure that the men who triumphed yesterday will manfully shoulder these re- sponsibilities and ably grapple with the difficulties by which they are beset. We look with confidence to Messrs. Sullivan, Ferguson, McLeod and their associates. The duty of righting our wrongs and con- serving our independence—aye even our permanent cxistence as a separate Prov- ince—devolves upon them. We are per- suaded that they will do the very best they can under the circumstances. In ordinary times it might be regretted that there is practically no opposition; for in ordinary times a good opposition is a strength toa government. But nowit is perhaps well that the new Adininistration is not to be hampered in its work. The great danger it will have to contend with will be over- presumption on its own strength. Let that be strictly guarded against. By that sin fell both McKenzie and Davies. We trust The Contest and the Result \ GLORIOUS TRIUMPH. | Victory Along the Whole Line. Tue struggle was a sharp one.

To the Editor of the Examiner. ry farmer has raised beets and mangel wurtzel. They require careful cultivation in order to get a good crop. The needful conditions are: Early planting, good manuring, deep plowing, thorough harrowing, plenty of seed, timely thinning out, careful hoeing and neat weeding. — ee With these seven conditions a good crop 1s certain. 1 will name some of the farmers, among many others, who raised satisfactory crops of beets from seed last year ; and this year the price per ton 18 $6, delivered at any shipping port in Maine: William Connor, Fairtield, Maine, 20 tons per acre ; Ira Getch- ell, North Varralbar, do., 20 tons per acre; John B. Morrison, Farmington, do., 40 tons per acre; Henry Piper, Benton, do., 40 tons per acre; Charles B. Seavey, do., do., 494 tons per acre, Last year many farmers planted too late and on land not in proper condition, or did not attend to thinning and weeding at the proper time. Of course they failed to geta satisfactory crop, as might be expected un- der such circumstances. TIME OF PLANTING. Early planting is specially important. The seed sprouts best in cool weather. The young plant thrives in the early spring rains. By early planting the beets get the start of the weeds. At first the beet grows slowly, but when once fully rooted, it becomes very vigor- ous. So that later in the season after thining land weeding it takes care of itself. Early planting enables the farmers to get the thinning and weeding done before the haying season comes on. Just as early in May as the sod can be loosened and pulverized the seed should be plonted in rows twenty- four or thirty inches apart and covered from one half to one inch deep. Land plowed the fall before can be got ready earlier, and is therefore preferable, but this is not absolutely Srr,—Almost eve necessary. PREPARATION OF SOIL. ' } | The soil should be deep mellow ioam, free ‘from standing waters; clay and sandy loam are both good and the better soil the more, highly manured the better will be the crop. ; Any kind of dressing is good. Old well- rotted barn-yard manure, superphosphate | ground fish chum, also lobster chum and | ashes. CHRISTOPHER C. JONES. Bradalbane April 5, ‘79. ae +e Local and Other Etems.

We learn that it is the intention of Mr. Monaghan to replace it by a three-storey brick building. A despatch received by the Clerk of the Executive Council yesterday announces that ‘the last small-pox patient has been dismissed and the hospital has been closed.” Confidence is now restored to the village. Preparations are being made for the spring trade. ‘‘Wuo 1s Nem McLeop?’—This question was yesterday correctly answered as follows : ‘‘He is Provincial Secretary and Treasurer, and was returned to the House of Assembly at the head of the poll in the metropolis of this Province.” Now, who is W. D. Stewart? Woman’s Rupsers only 35 cents at Dorsey & Jost’s. Misses’ Rueppers only 30 cents at Dorsey & Jost’s CHILDRENS Ruppers only 25 cents at Dorsey & Jost’s Womens’ Misses’ and Children’s Rubber Boots very cheap at Dorsey & Jost’s. A number of practical jokers were on the rounds last night. Streamers of crape were hung to the doors of the Grit headquarters, and it seemed the joker was lavishly generous toward the occupants of the Patriot office. In addition to the usual mourning insigna, a rep resentative tombstone with a suitable inscrip- tion, was placed firmly against the door. Prrsonat.— Doctor McSwain who left an extensive practice at Belfast owing to ‘ill health abouta year ago, has returned home (enjoying excellent health) from his trip across the Atlantic.
