OCTOBER 22, 1883. _ -_ The New Governor Gensral Tne Marquis of Lansdowne arrived | yesterday ; aud by this time will have | been duly installed Governor General ot | Canada. His Excellency comes “highly recommended ;”” and may be welcomed as | one who will assuredly do the duties of his high office as they should be done. The selection of our Governor General from among the cultured gentlemen of Great Britain gives satisfaction alike to our body politic and society, aud is an out- ward visible sign of our union with the Mother Land Would it not be well if, instead of each Provioce of Canada having asa Lieuten- aut Governor one of its own people, there were an interchange of Lieutenant Governors between the Provinces— showing that though divided by Pro- vincial lines, we are all members of the one great nationality,carryiug to one Pro- vince the best political thought and hightest social refinemevt of the other, and avoiding the petty jealousies and persoual eumities incident to the selection of a man to be Governor of his own Province. EP OO ———— A Change in the Cabinet. Senator McPuerson has been ap- pointed Minister of the Interior; and Sir John MeDonald takes the portfolio of President of the Council. Freedom from the care of one of the most impor- tant Departments of the Govern- ment will enable Sir John to give greater attention to the more geseral duties belonging to the office of Premier of Canada; while in Senator McPherson the Depart- ment of the Interior will have au admin- istrator whose ability has been proved to be of a very high order, > <- <p -o @ -— -——_ Editorial Notes. —Republicans who now denounce the conduct of Ben Butlerin New Or- leans during the war, say that their former approval of the very same con- duct was “due to a misguided and unen- lightened loyalty.” They are very sorry for it, vow that he is ruuning as the Democratic candidate ! —A petition published to-day is being influentially sigued at Souris and else- where in eastern districts, placing before the Hon. W. A. McLelan, Minister of Marine avd Fisheries, the desirability and necessity of a steam fog horn at East Point. As pointed out by the petition, it is really required, aud we wish the petitioners success. —The tide of British commerce seems | just now to be against the mother country. The statistics show that in the past eight months the exports of Great Britain have decreased by about two millions and the imports have increased by nearly thirteen millions! Nor does the future open up avy prospects of in- creasing exports or decreasing imports. Each year the demaud of the foreign market for her maoufactared goods is weaker. Each year the demand of her increasing population for food is stronger. —The Civie authorities of Lisbon have passed an ordinance making cre- mation compulsory in times of epidemic. On ordivary occasions it is to be optional whether the remains de burnt or buried ; but itis decceed that these remains if interred, must be burned every five years. Like nearly all of the large cities, Lisbon sufferers trom lack of cemetery accommodation; and knowing the danger there is of spreading disease by having the burial grounds in close proximity to populous quarters, the City Council has taken upon itself the passing and enforcing if necessary of this very important measure. —The Chicago Free Press announces that a returned explorer annouaces the discovery of an immense river, hitherto unkuown, which lies within the Arctic circle. It says that in some places this wouderful stream is twenty-miles wide and full of huge pieces of floating timber, and is supposed to be nearly two thousand miles long. At least we have a clue to the wonderful resources possessed by stock manipulators who use so much water, and politicians who liberally indulge in ‘log rolling.” The Govern- ment cannot be severely criticised for allowing such stupendous streams to float around incog, as it were, without taking active measures to head them off, —The great success of the Postal Savings Bank in the Dominion has at- tracted the attention of the people of the United States, who are begioning to make a move in the matter, in order to have the same or a similar system es- tablished in that country. ‘Thoughtful observers there, desirous that the labor~ ing classes should have a convenient, safe and reliable place to deposit their small earnings at a reesonable rate of interest, have been watching the progress of the Dominion Postal Saviogs Bank, satisfied that no more secure method could be adopted, or better to meet a long-felt want. Accordingly we find that several gentlemen have found their way to Cavada to make themselves acquainted with the management of the same. —If the following paragraph, from a hicagzo paper, be true, the demand for potatoes is likely to contiaue to be “o . * = potato.crop this year is one of the fgest ever known, Glowing aecounts ee | enongh left for ourselves, | ful news. | of vegetables, some trum avarly every sute in the uoion, ~~ HE D and, in fact, from foreign countries.

It knows no reason. It ‘‘laughs” as broadly in January asin June. Itis as mealy in May asin March. It is the most accom- modating of esculents. Boiled, stewed, roasted, fried, mashed, it is equally at home and equally popular in every form and shape. In a patriotic point of view the potato has strong claims on every American, for, according to the poet lau- reate of Sherman’s grand army, it ‘started from the ground’ while the boys, sixty thousand strong, went marching through Georgia.’ ——— ———-- 2 _— Fog Horn. EAST POINT, KiNO’S Co. — The following petition is in circulation at the east end of King’s County :— To the Hox. A. W. McLetan, Minister of Marine and Fisheries, — “We, the undersigned Petitioners would humbly pray, that the Government place a Steam Fog Horn, at East Point, Prince Edward Island, for the several reasons below enumerated, It is one of the most dangerous points to approach on account of its Fogs, which are more prevalent here than in any other part of the southern shores of the Gulf, and also made extremely dangerous in the Autumn by the heavy snow storms with which it is frequently visited. The uncertainty of the tides between the Magdalen Islands and the East Point (above mentioned), are generally affected by the dif- ferent winds; causing vessels in making said East Point to be either too far tothe east- ward, or too much to the westward, to their great danger, and also being dangerous to vessels from the Straits of Canso, or the port of Pictou, going tothe westand northwest parts of the Galf, it being a ‘‘place of depar ture,” from which to clear the Magdalen Islands with all their dangerous shoals, Then more especially in reference to its own dangerous reefs—they have always been a fruitful source of marine disaster. They stretch out over one mile and a half from the shore, so that it often happens that in foggy or dirty weather, vessels strike these reefs, before they can distinguish the light on shore; as instanced by the wreck of H. M. Ship **Phcenix” on the night of the 12th September 1882, striking the reef in a northeast wind in thick weather, and being totally wrecked, and also the 8. 8. ‘‘Quebec” wrecked in the same manner some two years ago, besides the other many vessels and coasters yearly wrecked on these reefs; causing loss of life and property to a very great extent. For these and many other reasons too numerous to include in a petition, your Peti- tioners would urge the necessity of a Steam Fog Horn being placed on the said East Point, and they asin duty bound will ever pray, etc., etc.” atin Dynamite in Halifax. The examination of the two men Bracken and Holmes, arrested at Halifax for unlaw- fully having in their possession large quan- tities of dynamite, takes place to-day. There is an opinion prevalent among many Haligoniars that the articles found on the men were stolen, and that this in a measure accounts for their silence on the subject. A trial of the bathing suit confiscated will shortly be made by one of the members of the police force. His Excellency Vice- Admiral Sir E. Commerell, visited the city marshall’s office and inspected the various articl:s found in the men’s possession. He expressed his satisfaction at the arrest, and praised the prompt action of the police in arresting them. He is to send the chief torpedo engineer of the Northampton to examine the alarm clocks, swimming suit and other articles, witha view-of forming an opinion as to the actual danger that might have existed, allowing that the men were dynamiters as alleged. All the war ships ‘n port there, to the number of six, have, since the arrest of Holmes and Bracken, been closely guarded, particularly at night time, when a strong force in boats is placed about them. er en LETTERS T0 THE EDITOR. ee Certified Invoices. Dear Srr,—The remarks in your issue of the 26th ult., which were headed ‘‘A Cus- toms ; Matter,” seem to need revision, and your ‘“‘Importersa’ taken to task for their statements, that ‘‘in no other part of the world is there such a regulation” (as certi- fied invoices). Merchandise imported into New York, unaccompanied by certified in- voices, is sent to the public stores, and there appraised or assessed; when consular invoices arrive in time to make entry at Custom House, then one package only is sent to public stores. Goods must be ac- companied by consular invoices (that is, certified to by the American Consul at port of shipment), or they are sent to public stores and appraised. Yours truly, C. B.

Lepage, a P. E. Islander. To his untiring energy and en- terprise, the Russia Cement Co. owe the great success of their glues. He has not only in- vented the superior articles which they pro- duce, but he hs also invented the most intri cate machinery by which it is manufactured. He has shown its superiority to all other glues, and has secured a market for it in the cities of Europe and America. We wish the Russia Cement Co., and Mr. Lepage, continued success, -—~-e——— A sient fire occurred in the Drug Store of Messrs. Fraser & Reddin, South Side Queen Square, on Saturday evening. The firm, it appears, were compounding Tincture of Ben- zoin Co. During the process the bottle which contained the tincture broke and the alcohol canght fire. It was promptly extinguished. The pots and contents were then left standing ou the stove in the rear department. While Mr.” Reddin was absent the liquid again boiled over and caught tire. Mr. Reddin, on return- the and ing, immediately seized pot attempted to carey it to the street, but the alcohol burned so freely that he was obliged to drop it near the cellar hatch,after it had searched his moustache, eye- brows, and hand. ‘he alcohol burned out without doing any damage to the flour. Twenty minutes later, however, it was found that a drop of the burning fluid had escaped to the celiar and set fire to some straw. ‘This was also extinguished without much difficulty. Meantime there was a general turn out of engines and firemen and citizens, but their assistance was not necessary. > >- Kent Northern Railway. AN IMPORTANT FEEDER OF THE INTERCOL- ONIAL COMPLETED. The St. John Telegraph reports that on November 7th the Kent Northern Railway will be formally opened for traflic. The road extends from a point on the Inter- colonial Railway, eight miles north of Wel- ford station, to the village of Richibacto, a distance of twenty-seven miles. The road was built by Mr. J.C. Brown. Mr. Gilmor Brown, C. E., had charge of the engineering department during its con- struction. The business of the road will consist of general freight and passenger traftic to the villages of Richibucto and Kingston and the surrounding country. There will also be a large transportation of lumber, hem- lock bark, and in winter, frozen fish. It is proposed to run a line of packets from Richibucto to some points on the north of this Island, and thus work up a carying trade with our Province. The road will be operated under the management of the con- tractor, Mr. J. C. Brown, Bee ™ MRS.
