STATESMEN’S AGES.
The newly formed ministry of France
is commented upon by the Parisian press
as “the old ministry.” It is so spoken of
because its members are nearly all ovenence sc Seve" that in is reported he

ministers were about 65 years.
At the same time or rather etollowing
the discussion in the French press, Eng-
lish newspapers are discussing the ages of
the political rulers of Great Britain.

are three above sixty but net one
attained to the Scriptural three score and
ten. The average age is MU'-eight which
approach in this to the standard of the
present Canadian Cabinet, whose average
an is nity-seven and a hall years.Premier

R. W. Scott, Sir Richard Cartwrlght,Hon.
William Paterson and Hon. Mr. Bernier
are beyound the line of sixty, Mr. Scott
being seventy-seven and Sir Richard ten
years his junior.
It may be remarked that nearly all the
Premiers of the Dominion held that
position at a good old age. Sir John
Macdonald was seventy-six years old
when no area ro ofnoo. sir John Abbott
was seventy years old when he succeeded
to the Premiership. Sir John Thompson,
the youngest of Canadian Premiers, was
forty-nine when he died. Sir Mackenzie
Bowell was seventy-three years old when
he retired lu 1896, to be succeeded by Sir
,Charles Tupper, then aged seventy-tive.
Alexander Mackenzie, when he last held
the Premiership in 1878 was about fifty-
seven years of age. The average of these
` ages of six Premiers oi Canada was sixty-
seven years. Oi course there are many
other factors besides age to be taken into
consideration, but it may be mentioned in
closinlr that bir Oliver Mowat became
Premier of Ontario at fifty-two years of
age in 1872, held that position twenty-four
years, and is still doing em(-ient public
service as Lieutenant Governor of Ontario
at the ripe age of eighty-two years.
Col. Griinme of the Russian army, who
was tried for treasonably selling to Ger-

the Russian Government in changing the
plans and construction of frontier de-
fences. _
The announcement islmade that if all
goes well King Edward will be crowned
at some date in August next, with some-
thing less of outside display than was
drst intended. It is doubtless by the
Kiug’s own desire that as early a. date as
is practicable is to be fixed for his oificial
installation. Mor-t earnestly will all his
Ioocurencc may cause a second postpone p
ment. His Maiesty’s recovery appears to
be progressing even more rapidly than
was expected in view of the serious nature
of his malady. I

however. The pageant through the-

The writer on a recent trip tbrccllll
Westmorland, King's, and St. John, met
with many inquiries in renard to the
coming Fair, from stockmen, farmers and
4 others.
Il Some former exhibitors and visitors
Iremarked upon the excellence of Exhi-
bitions they had seen here, and their
desire to come again, while a considerable
number who had not yet visited thc
Island announced the intention of making
a first visit this year when the Exhibition
w ould be on. We met nota few inquires
as to the extent of hotel accommodation,
and what th e chances would be of secur-
ing comfortable lodgings at such a time.
One progress ive farmer and patron ofa
cheese factory not far from Sussex said,
“I am coming to your exhibition this fall
‘ I.want to find out how it is that your
(people can make cheese that will command
half a cent per pound more than ours.”
The list of prospective visitors might be
extended, but without saying more we
conclude that there is every prospect of n
larger attendance from the Province of
New Brunswick this year than ever
before. We also learn, on enquiry of
Secretary Smallwood that he is in reeelpt
of inquiries from prospective exhibitors
from many sections of the Maritime
Provinces which give evidence of more
than |_oz-dinary interest in the coming
event. In faint-, if favored -with good
weather there is every prospect of an
excellent disp‘ay.aud a. very large _attend-
ance at the Exhibition to be held here in
