We agree with admirers of Coles and Whelan that it would be better to have one monument to the two men by whose united greatest of’ our measures of reform were passed. As Coles and Whelan lived and worked with a single eye to the Edward so they might appropriately be commemorated by a efforts the good of Prince Island, single monument.

[nat « journalist is foolish to go into politics has been made apparent in the case of Mr. Ellis, Editor of the St. John Globe, and member of Parliament. The Globe ad- yocates Annexation. If Mr. Ellis were not a member of Parliament, the Globe might do this with impunity; for this is a free country, and ‘‘free born men may (here) speak free.” Being a member of Parlia- ment he has, while bravely propagating his real opinions, not only very seriously compromised his party, but violated to some extent the oath which he has taken. It is possible that Mr. Ellis may yet be set right before the country by the plea that the Globe is merely in favor of the annexa- tion of the United States to Canada, and the adoption of British institutions all over But, Mr. Ellis is the subject of vigorous attacks North America. in the meanwhile, from the St. John Telegraph, one of the or- gans of his own party, and is freely con- If the Globe does not, promptly, make a satisfactory explana- tion, the usefulness of Mr. Ellis as a member of Parlidment will have gone for- ever. It is quite evident that the Globe ought to explain, or Mr. Ellis ought to re- sign. Ineither case, the folly of an inde- pendent journalist coming down to the position of a member of Parliament has been made su fiiciently clear. demned by all loyal men. tc tl EE LE I A Prank Avowal Ln a letter of the Washington correspon- dent of the New York Times — semi- official in its character--the object of the Americans in abrogating the treaty of Reciprocity and in refusing to come to new terms is frankly avowed. The corres- pondent writes :— ‘‘ The Secretary and his assistant commis- sioners are familiar with some chapters of our lipomati: history that the general public has naturall, The reci- procity treaty of 1854 was denounced by the United States in 1866 at the demand of New England, ostensibly with a view to procuring enough forgotten. a belter and more extensive system of reci- procity, The real reason was that New England believed that twelve years of a large measure of commercial free- dom between the United states and Canada had brought the provinces into a position where a continuance of comparatively free trade was necessary to them, and that they would pay any price to procure it. The an- nexation of Canada was contidently counted upon. It was believed that rather than lose the American market,the provinces would cut loose from the British empire and join the unisa. Canada was anxions to continue the reciprocity, and was willing to offer very considerable inducements to that end, dut sz would not pay the price of a change of. flag. Canadian commissioners came here (Washing- ton) and talked with Secretary Seward and the leading men, at both ends of the capitol. Mr. Morrill, of Vermont, now a Senator, was hairman of the ways and means committee of the house, He said to the Canadians: ‘‘If you waut these commercial privileges that you talk about, take your seats here by the side of us and vote for them.” Mr. Banks went fur- ther. In the first session of the Thirty-ninth Congress he introduced a bill for the admis- sion into the union of the States of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Upper and Lower Canada. The Canadians vinced that got ing THE DAILY EXAMIN as TE EE Prince Street Landing. that the at Prinee Street Wharf ill Wr hope winter way to and from the city as smooth large be made AS Poss ible.

S. Lansdowne, except under the most favorable circumstances. Moreover, the outward mails are made up every evening at eight o'clock, though they might be leit open until next morning if the Pictou route were taken. Complaint under such circumstances is reasonable and Let the Summerside to carry possible ; but by all means send the m ils by the Princess of Wales. natural. Lansdowne remain at freight as long as Fancy Sale and Tea. Tne annual Fancy Sale and ‘Tea, in aid of the Baptist Church, opened at two o'clock this afternoon. The Hall has undergone a complete transformation unde! the guiding land of Mr. James E. Welsh. The decoraticus consist of spruce trees and from which are. artistically sus- pended bannerettes and bunting. To- night, when the hall is lighted by elec- tricity, as it will be, the effect will be grand indeed. The ladies are evidently bound to sustain, and if possible eclipse, the excellent reputation they have estab- lished for themselves as managers of fancy fairs. The different fancy tables are well stocked with useful and ornamental articles, while the refreshment tables cannot fail to please the most fastidious. Tea will be on the tables at five o’clock. The ladies in charge of the different tables areas fol- lows :-— boughs, good Fancy Table No. 1, and Christmas Tree. —Miss Louise Nicholson and Miss Bessie Whitman, Fancy Table No. 2,—Miss Alice Stenti- ford, Miss Myra Galbraith and Miss Edith Anderson.

Dr. BLancHARD desires, through our columns, to thank those friends who con- tributed towards furnishing the Christ- mas Tree at Falconwood, and at the same time to say that he will be glad to see any of them at the distribution of presents which will take place on Monday evening at seven o'clock sharp. People have been so generous in giving confectionery and fancy articles, that the Doctor has decided to keep the money it was found unnecessary to spend, to go towards making up a fund with which to buy a magic lantern. The Hon. Judge Young has very gener- ously offered to sell his lantern which cost $300 for $100, and it is desirable to pro- cure this sum. There is already in hand, after furnishing the Christmas Tree, some- thing over thirty dollars, and no doubt there are many who would be glad to aid who have not been called upon. Any one wishing to contribute to this object can leave his subscription with Mr. Hughes at the Apothecaries Hall. There-is almost no amusement for the patients at Falconwood, and during the long winter evenings a magic lantern would be a source of unfailing pleasure.

Sir,—Apropos of the recent banquet to Professor Anderson, weuld it not be a proper proceeding for the former pupils of Edward Roche, Esg., to entertain that gentleman ina similar manner. There are many of Mr. Roche’s old pupils in the city to-day who would be only toogglad to assist the movement if the prope? parties took hold of it. Then why not some one start the ball “rolling? Mr. Roche, in his day, did much good for many at present amongst us, and well deserves some such recognition of past services, Who {will take the in- itiative ¢ WELL WISHER.
