DRAINAGE OF CHARLOTTETOWN. —— — Wie the necessity « publicly direct- jng the attencion of the British Medical Association to the need of asystem of sewerage for Charlottetown may be called m question, we have no doubt whatever that Dr. McLeod represented the views of gent and progre: - To be abreast of the age maoy Of Gur Most intelli sive Citizens. we must have the best means of carrying off the waste waters which flow from our baths, kitchens, etc. That sewers can be laid ander Charlottetown at lese cost than under any other city in Canada, ie evident. The question time arrived woen we may purdently incur this cost ? Or, te put it into another form, can we afford to remain behind the age while the present, and stil] more the future, health of is endangered and our house- is, has the the town keepers are deprived of modern conven- ieoces which are efforded in towns posses- sing sewerage? Thatsewerage wil! inyolve some additional expenditure on the part of each citizen is certain. But are the citi- zens of Charlottetown so poor that they cannot afford an improvement demanded by considerations of health, convenience and reputation ? OUR OAT CROP. Tr is pleasing to learn that our oat crop ot this year is likely to be of excellent qual’- ty. We hope that farmers anddealers will be very careful to bave it well cleaned and placed upon the market in the best possi- le condition. Last year we had a good crop,and dealers sending it to English ports went to the trouble and expense of putting their oats through the fanners before ship- ment. The result has decidedly encon- raging. Werent to Great Britain, last year, fully a million bushels of oats; and the lost reputation of P. E. Islani oats has been so far restored that there probably be a demand for them this year and next. The principal shippers of last year were Mesars Carvel] Brothers,who sent to Eng- land upwards of 400,000 bushele; Messrs Matheson & Toombs, who sent about 285,- 900 bushels; and the Messrs Richards and Yeo whosbipped about 300,000 bushe's. Tt is safe to say that the oats sold last year in the English market netted to the far- mersof P. E. Island a sum of $250,000. This wouid an average of about $150 per farmer for oats alone. Notwithstanding the low price thas prevailed last year, the oat crop was still— owing to the lucky chance of a de- mand in the Mother Country last spring — a valuable cansideration to our farmers and the public at large. An oat crop is worth while cultivating, and careful attention ought to be given to the establish- ment of its good character upon the British markets, True it takes away a good part of the fertility of our soi] and makes no direct return to that, source of all our wealth. Certainly, the export of oats ought not to be carried on at the expense of our expanding dairy industry and pork production. But it may be continued to some extent in connectiun with or in add- jtion to the export of cheese and butter and pork and other things which give a larger net return to the farmer. There are many farmers who are not yet in a position to take part in cc-vperative dairying and the new system of agricu!ture, and who still need considerable amounts of ready money during the course of each year. For these the oat crop is a safe resource, aod for the sake of these as well as in the interest of the public at large, the greatest possible care ought to be taken in the preparation of the oats sent to Great Britain and else- where. Wecan grow better ‘oats here than in almost any other country. Let us see to it that they are placed upon the market in excellent condition. will give A eatisfactory beverage for outing parties is unquestionably Sovereign Fruit Svrups.

ESTEEMED EXCHANGES. ] — Montreal Gazette: Emperor William f Germany bas been complimenting the Duke of Cambriive and the “brave British army.” It wil] take more than taffy, hough, to rehabilitate the Kaiser in tbe regerd ofthe British people. He may mean no harm, tut his desire to say things at important junctures has led him to say 30 much contrary to British interest that must almost of necessity doubt the sincerity of his comp! - ments. those chiefly concerned Halifax Herald: The principle mauanciat ed by Mr. Chan:berlain has been followed for years by the British Empire League, and bv the Liberal- Conservatives of Can ada. Obedient to this principie, they have held, and still hold, that every part of the 'mpi-e shonld give every other part of the wenpire a tarill preference ip compar ron with the tariff treatment accord+d to von-British coustries; that every colony should give a tariff preference to the Motherland, and to each other, and tha the Motherland should give a tariff pr. - ference to every British colony. Synch a policy is open to no c arge of selfishness | | against any ;art of the Emp re; it would se | for the benefit of every pars and hence fu: the benefit ofthe whole. The princip! affirmed by Mr. Chambe-lain, “Each for All and All for Zach,” is the watchword of the true British Imperia ism, and in full agreement with which the Liberal- Conservatives of Canada have stood an! stand. The Grits have declared aga'nst that Imperialism, and frustrated it for the time, and have also set np what they call a “New Imperialism,” which is a dream ora form of words, without sense or use. tif Full > + a BEHRING SEA ARRITRATION. Mr, Beique Conciudes His Address— Judge Putmare Objects, The Behrisg Sea commission met yes- terday and li-tened to the contimuation of Mr. Beique’s address on the “ effect of domicile on pationality.” He dwelt for some time on this subject, and quoted new author ties in sapport of h’s c. ntentious. Mr. Beique tovk up the action of the United States in regard to the seizures made and charged that the United States brief admitted lack of good faith on the part of that country in making such seizures, Judge Putman objected to any such charge being made against either of the great countries concerned. Mr. Beique claimed that there had been neglect on the part of the United States in Lord Salisbury ia i889 protested against the seizures. The action ot the President in releasing the vessels showed that country to be in the wrong. He claimed tbat the dilatory action of the United States atter the seizures had been made aggravated the case. The British Government bad accurate informa- tion in November. 1886, but the United States did not get such information until some months later. He vlaimed that the United States officials should have enquired into the seizures more promptly. This aggravated the case. The United States by the terms of the modus viveadi agreed to turn over to the British all vessels of that country for trial. Io only oue case was this agreement com- plied with. Veasels were kept for months in the cusiody of the United States. All these actions were gross breaches of inter- national law. Mr. Beique referred to loss from pro3- pective protfis and took up the question in its several aspects. Theclaim that in- stances of total leas could have been remedied by the purchase of new vessels was absurd. The seacon was short, and to say that these vessels, 1,500 miles at sea, could have been replaced, was hardly worthy of contradiction. Mr. Beique concluded his argument just before the hovrof adjournment in the afternoon. The commission will resume tais morning. —Halifax Herald, Sept. 2. — on a ae The ages at which the inhabitants of some European countries are considered capable of aspirations for the matrimonial noose are as follows: Germany, France, and Belgium—-Man, 18; woman, 15 years of age.
