The Men's Department is loaded with an immense display of New Spring Suits. The Hat Department—wel!, everybody understands that our Hat Departmen: has advantages over the smaller establishments that place it ab the head, and secures for it the bulk of the trade. We are displaying the largest variety of Spring Styles of Hats ever shown, and include all the popular shapes. The Boys’ Department is unquestionaly the best and most attractive in the city. The Furnishing Goods Department is not only well stocked with all that is solid and staple, but contains much that is choice and novel. :0:——_~- No doubt about it. Ours is the largest and best selected stock ever seen in this city,—not only largest in quantity, but largest in variety of shapes,—largest in variety of materialz,—largest in correct styles,—largest in every way.

Davies and Laird, that a public meeting would be held in that place on Monday, the 20th instant, when a fair hearing would be given to both sides. Your readers are aware of what followed. Mr. L. H. Davies was invited, through the | Press, to attend the meeting on Monday evening. He declined, and an intimation was given that if Mr. Laird was invited he would probably attend. The Liberal-Con- servative Committee replied that they would be ‘‘most happy to have the political questions of the day discussed from the Opposition standpoint by Mr. Davies, as representative of the county, or by a substi- tute,” yet they must decline, for reasons stated, to extend an w:vitatien to Mr. Laird. This left the matter open to the whole Grit party. But no speaker on that side appeared at the meeting. I may say that Mr. Davies was the man the Liberal Conservatives wanted. No matter how signal might be the advantage in discussion gained over any other Grit speaker, the Local Grits would plead that if Mr. Davies had been present the case would have been different. I may say further that Mr. Davies’ excuses are not considered at all satisfactory. The Supreme Court closed in Charlottetown on Saturday. Mr. Davies had no business in Georgetown court until Wednesday, the petit jury being only summoned on that day. It is not thought that the werk ol the Supreme Court is of a very killing nature. The hours are short and the law- yers take their time. If Mr. Davies couid go to Marshficid to attend a one sided meeting in the middle of the court,a rest of two days might surely have fitted him for meeting an opponent, particularly as he claims to have such a good cause, and everybody knows he is a fluent speaker. L imagine I occupy a somewhat different relation to the electors of this Dictrict from Mr. D. Laird. Besides being one of its representatives in the Provincial Legisla- ture, [ama resident elector of the place. His mightiness may regard it as ‘‘ imper- tinence” to say that he occupies no represen- tative position. But such is nevertheless the fact; and his fishing for a special invita- tion is evidence of his vanity, It was open for him before and after the correspondence between the local aesociations to attend as a substitute for Mr. Davies, and this was the only capacity in which ke had a right to be there. Mr. Laird came to Marshfield on a previous occasion uninvited. The result was a large gain to the Liberal-Conservative party in the locality. The exhibition of the ‘‘ white feather’? on the 20th inst., and the bad-natured comments of the Patriot, afford good evidence that the Grit cause is still further on the wane. I am, yours, D. Frerevson. Marshfield, July 24. —_—_—_—_————— Taxation in England and Canade. England is sometimes held up by admir- ing Grit scribes as a country where a model system of taxation prevails. The principal difference, however, between taxation in England and Canada lies in the fact Eng- land’s general policy is to tax the internal products of the country while Canada’s policy is to tax imports from foreign coun- tries. The following is the British revenue statement for 1884 and 1885 :— Year ended Year ended June 30, 1885, June 39, 1884 £ £ Comes iii Stk. 50s te 20,918,000 19,589,000 Pe oc sie 26,260,000 26,967,000 i, 5... ser os - 11,920,000 11,550,000 RO Ee ce siviksbe on 1,065,000 1,060,000 eT ee ae 1,840,000 1,845,000 Prop’y & Income Tax .12,130,000 10,403,000 OE I oo ail 7,965,000 7,530,000 Telegraph Service.... 3,765,000 },750,000 Crown Lands,....... 380,000 380,000 Interest on Advances. 1,029,238 1,094, 842 Miscellaneous .. .. .. 3,763,195 4,082,007 oP ee 88,233,433 86,350,849 Omitting the items which cannot be called taxes, such as post office and telegraph ser- vice, the people pay $370,060,000, some- ‘thing over $10 per head.

A grand council of Russian archbishops has been called to meet at Kassan to de- bate measures for preventing the spread of sectarianisin. A number of Tory members of the House of Commons have united in a protest to Lord Salisbury against the recent con- cessions to the Parnellites. A despatch to the Times from Durban states that, despite official warnings, the Boers continue to lay out their projected township at Santa Lucia Bay. The various Munster Bank committees and the Parnellite members of Parliament have decided to ask the Bank of Ireland to loan the Munster Bank £500,000. A syndicate of financiers has negotiated a loan of £500,000, through a London firm, on securities offered recently by the Mun- ster Bank to the Bank of Ireland. The French Senate has adopted a bill to issue bonds for thirty years to the ameunt of 319,000,000 francs, for the purpose of improving parish reads and schvols. The Temps denies that France is trying to stir up an agitation in Morrocco. The French Minister to Morrocco is instructed to meintain cordial relations with the Sultan. The Paris Gaulois says that Princa Bis- marck has suggested that Zulficaer Pass be made neutral, thus solving the difliculty be- tween England and Russia in regard to its possession. The Admiralty has decided to construct several torpedo rams similar to the Poly- phemus, owing to the latter’s effective service during the recent evolutions in Bantry Bay. The Vienna Tagblatt says the Russian government meditates imposing a poll tax of from 100 to 200 roubles upon every foreigner residing longer than a fortnight in that country. It is stated that the Russian Government meditates imposing a poll tax of from one hundred to two hundred roubles upon every foreigner residing longer than a fort- night in the country.

He had been in the Charenton asylum. It is now arranged that the meeting be- tween the Emperors Francis Joseph and William shall take place at Gastien on August 7th. The Emperor William has arrived there, and met with an enthusiastic reception. He was slightly fatigued from the journey, but was otherwise in capital health. New York and the surrounding country hes been sweltering in a heated term of prolonged anxiety. Only once in thirteen years, the Herald says, has the July tem- perature averaged so high.

He was caught stealing poultry and brought before the Justice. ‘The evideres,” said the Judge, “‘shows that you stole the chickens from Colonel Jones’ hen-coop, and the fine should be five dollars; but I'll let you off this time.” ‘Who wants to be let off ?” exclaimed the prisoner ; “‘I steals my chickens and I peys my fine, and don’t ask nuffin cb nobedy.
