Editorial Notes. —Sir A. T. Galt urges the formation of a Customs Union among the British Islands and the Colonies. If the United States Government do not speedily agree to ‘‘reciprocate” it will come to that. The Cincinnati Enquirer evinced a de- sire to annex Canada by force, and now the good will and plant of the paper are for As the Toronto Mail remarks: ‘‘A talk The Patriot should act upon this hint. sale. newspaper to succeed must sense.” The Monetary Times thinks that, by the end of the season, the American fisher- men will have learned the lesson that Liberal- .honesty is the best policy, and be willing to make some national arrangeme it under which they could pursue their calling, on our coast, to the best advantage.

The idea of the Subway has taken a firm hold upon their minds ; and either it must be proved to be impracticable or it must be carried out. The measures taken by the Government, as a result of the representations of Hon. Messrs. Sullivan and Ferguson and Hon. Mr. Howlan, are eminently satisfactory, and we hope to Earl Granville and others, see further tangible proof that the Govern- ment will grapple earnestly with the pro- blem of affording continuous communica- tion by steam between the Island and the mainland. This and other claims of the Island must be settled, or seen to be in a fair way of satisfactory arrangement, before the elec- tors of the Island can be expected again to elect supporters of the Government. If the people are satisfied in these respects, the Government may depend on a full ticket from the Garden Province. - The Murray Harbor District. 7 4} ; 2) > . Jusr before the election, the Patriot con- tained a scurrilous paragraph concerning the Hon. which could not have Samuel Prowse—a paragraph found insertion in any decent journal. This paragraph con- cluded with these words:— “There never were better prospects for the Liberal party in this District. Messrs. White and Aitken are sweeping all before them, the former having completely floored Mr. Prowse on different occasions.” How completely Mr. Prowse was ‘‘floor- ed” is shown by the fact that he obtained all but two hundred more votes than the man by whom, it was said, he was floored! Hon. Mr. Prowse and his colleague are to be heartily congratulated on their signal victory; and the people of Murray Harbor are to be congratulated on their apprecia- tion of the velue of ‘able and discreet men for business.” By the way, the Patriot ought to explain the reason why its predic- __fon was not verified by the event. for June from Queen's and King’s Counties :— PoTaTors— Colonial. ...16,167 bush $2,425 Foreign .... 16,494 5 — 318,919 Colonial... .45,384 $15,183 Foreign....121,703 ‘‘ 44,321 i 59.509 Porx- Colonial... . $1,605 Foreign.. .. 344 ——~—- 1,949 LorpsTERS— Colonial... .3,884 cases $17,763 Foreign., ..4,848 ** 24.41) — 42,174 STARCH— — Colonial... . 1,400 ewt.

Tut Edinburgh correspondent of the London 7'imes, in the course of a lengthy article on the Edinburgh International Ex- hibition, refers as follows to the electric lighting: ‘*Klectric lighting forms so important a fea- ture of the Exhibition that some notice of the different systems employed may be aseful. Both are lamps and ingandescent lamps are used—the former of 2,000 and 3,000 candle pewer, the latter of 10 and 20 candle power. As these lamps, with relative dynamos, are furnished by five different firms, an excellent opportunity is afforded of comparing, not only the effect of the two kinds of lamp, but also the systems of different patentees. The five firms supplying the lights are Richard Miller, Glasgow, who provides the Thomson-Houston are lamps; Andrews and Co., Giasgow, the Anglo-American Brush Company, London, Gulcher and Co., London, and King, Brown, and Co., Edinburgh. The largest share of the lighting has fallen to the Thomson-Houston system of arc lamps. It is used in the out- side lighting of the grounds at the west front of the building, in the grand hall, in the pic- ture galleries, and the eight north-western courts—155 lamps in all. * w o>? There can be no doubt that, both for bril- liancy and steadiness, the palm must be given to the Thomson-Houston lamps. The grand hall and the picture galleries are as brightly and as pleasantly lighted by night as they are by the noon-day sun. Between the other systems of are lamps I cannot venture to dis- criminate. They are all good, though none of them can be compared with the Thomson Houston system.” The Thomson-Houston are lamps, so highly spoken of, are the ones used m this city by the P. E. Island Electrie Light Co., and which captured the gold medal at the Great London Inventions Exhibition, 1885, in competition with many English and American rivals. - 2 i Giadstone to Bright. Mr. Gladstone has written the following letter to Mr. John Bright : EDINBURGH, July 2. My Dear Mr. Bricut,—I am sorry to be compelled to again address you. In your Birmingham you charge me with having suecessiully concealed my thoughts last November. You ought to know that this is not a fact, for in reply to others from whom this gross charge was more to be expected than fvom you, I pointed out that on Novem- ber Sth 1 told my electors in Edinburgh that if the Irish elections went as I expected the magnitude of the subject they would bring forward would throw all in the shade and that it went down to the very roots and foundatioas of our whole civil and political Do you now adhere to your accusation ? Secondly, you say that I des cribed a ‘‘conspiracy’ now existing in Ireland as ‘‘marching through rapiue to break up the Kingdom.” ‘This is also contrary to fact. Tu 1881, there was, in my opinion, such a con- Spiracy against the payment of rent in unien counties and [ so described it. In my opinion there is no such conspiracy now, nor amy ping in the least degree resembling it. Yo put into my mouth words which, coming from me, would be absolute falsehoods. Thirdly, you charge me with a want of frankness, because I have not pledged the Government to some ' speech at euners constitution, lefined line of action in regard to the Land bill, A_ charge of this kind as between old colleagues and friends is, to say the least, unusual. Evi- dently yon have not read the bill or my speech intreducing it and you have never béen con- cerned in the practical work of legislation of difficult and complicated subjects. The foundation of your charge is that on such a subject I do not, in the midst of overwhelm- ing work, formulate at once a new course and method of action without consulting my col- leagues. It might have occurred to you, who have been in the Cabinet, that such a course on my part would have been indecent and disloyal, and that I shouid greatly prefer to bear all the charges and suspicions which you unexpectedly are the man to fasten on me. For you state that you are convinced that it is my intention to thrust the land bill through Parliament. If Il amamancapable of such intention, I wonder that you ever took office with one so ignorant of the spirit of the con- stitution and so arbitrary in character. Though this appears to be your opinion of me, I do not think that opinion is held by my countrymen. You quote nota word in sup- port of your charge which is absolutely un- true. Every candidate will take his own view, but I certainly will not forego my right to make some effort to amend the dangerous and mischievous land bill pasd#ed last year. I have done what I could to avoid a controversy with you, and while you have driven me_ to temonstrate against your charges, I advisedly abstain from all notice of your statements, criticisms and arguments. I am always, yours sincerly Wiitram E. GLADSTONE, A ee Gladstene’s Manifesto to the Welsh. Mr. Gladstone has issued a manifesto to the Welsh electors, in which he says: ‘This is not the first nor the tenth time that the Tories have raised a ery of alarm and predicted the ruin of the Empire. They have been at it all their lives. They have always raised that cry when those great and good measures were proposed which have made the age illustrious: The reform of Parliament, the abolition of the corn laws, of slavery, of religious tests, of church rates and of the Lrish Church, the freedom of burials laws, the defence of ten- ants’ rights, and many more good measures. Which did they give you? Which did they not oppose and cry down as destructive of the constitution and the throne, of religion and prosperity / People say the Irish are never content, nor would you be content if you had been oppressed as they j Above all, if after you had had 500 years it hat a mixture of have. your own Parliament for been taken away from you by pes violence and corruption, with a union which disgraces the came of England.

Pye, from Manilla, January 28, for Montreal, arrived at Quebee at 6 o'clock Sunday afternoon. The ‘‘Arklow” is the vessel whose mate was picked up at sea in a small boat and landed at Queenstown, Ireland, and who asserted that the ‘‘Arklow” was sunk by collision, and that all on board, including the captain's wife and family, with the single exception of himself, perished. Capt. Pye says he had fine weather the entire and no accident of any kind occurred. He states that the mate, whose name is J. B. Olston, shipped with him in Boston, and had a master’s certificate. He was previously master of the bark “J. F. Robertson.” passage, {t is stated that this vessel's cargo was stowed in a peculiar manner, and that she put into St. Thomas, W. I., where she was surveyed, but whether she was condemned or not Capt. Pye was not aware. However, the underwriters refused to pay any of the expenses incurred. Capt. Pye thinks fear of arrest at Montreal, and a threatening letter he had received preyed on the mate’s mind, and caused him to desert. On the night of the 7th May, in lat. 4.20 8., lon. 22.58 W., Olston left the ‘*Arklow” while the master and starboard watch were asleep. The gig in which he left was 13 feet long. He took with him provisions, clothes, chart, compass, quad- rant, etc. Capt. Pye thinks he must have boon covtapod away by some of the crew. eet cali > See Bitters Under the Ban. A HOTEL KEEPER FINED FOR SELLING THEM’ UNDER THE SCOTT ACT. The case of a Brockville, Ont., hotel keeper named Rape, which has just been tried before the court there, is unique as involving the point of what constitutes an intoxicant. It appears that Constable Mc- Phail recently visited Rape’s hotel, and being provided with a search warrant, went through the house. He found nothing but a stock of what is known as Vermouth Bit- ters, a tonic similar to John Bull Bitters, but of more recent origin. A bottle of this he brought back, and on the intoxicating properties of the fluid the case hinged. Dr. Vaux testified that it was largely com- posed of sherry wine, and would, in his opinion, intoxicate, and the same view was taken by Edward Whittlemore, a drug clerk. Upon this evidence he was fined $50 and costs, $16.25. It is the general opinion, the Lecorder says, that Mr. Rape considered himse!f strictly within the law in selling the bitters.
