He pened the meeting with an address con taining valuabie hints about the dairy branch of agriculture, and showed how the dairying, so asto return the ingredients rubbed from the soil. He said that dairy- ing stops exhaustion but not income. It brings good returus from the first, and the country that does not make it prominent must diminished in its resources and finally take an inferior position. He described in graphic language the progress made by co-operation in this branch of farming, by pointing out that the dairy exports from Ontario had, since the factory ystem was established eleven years ago, risen from nil to nearly $6,000,000. become Mr. Norman Hays is a candidate for Aldermanic honors in Halifax.

A lawyer represent- ing the aqueduct companies stated last year that he represented $50,000, 000 y Shp value; but the companies pay taxes on les# than 81,000,000, It is said that the water bill will be passed by the Legislature giving the people the power to resume coutrol. of i their water supplies at a fair compensation for the outlay made by the companies, and without recognizing the perpetual righis laimed by the latter. The experience of Massachusetts is a warning to us. The liquor traftic has always been a nuisance, and the liquor dealers have al- ways Violated the law. As early as 1819 a license inspector was deemed necessary in this Previnee, and we find the following petition among other public documents in our archives: ‘ CHantorrerowN, August the 2nd, 1819.

What though to-night we are bound with chains of frost and bands ‘of ice, shortly the chains will snap, the bands will burst; and we know that under jthe snow the daisies lie, and the May- | flowers bloom, and that the long and warm days of May will bring in the dandelion, jand the butter-cup, and the budding tree, and the tender grass, and all the beautiful things that make up the poet- Then let our sympa- thies go out to that dear old ancestral land beyond the sea, that Jand of cloudclapped mountain and smiling lakes and emerald | fields; that historic land endeared to us by the memories of a thousand years.

We all know what good times we had on the Island while the railway was building. Good wages and plenty of employment was the order of the day.

Yours, etc., Kine’s Counry. Look at the Consequences (Boston Herald, March 12.) Thursday evening a strong effort was made to make it appear to the mind of President Cieveland to be absolutely necessary that a proclamation be at once issued, under the dinunds bill, cutting off trade with the British American provinces till such time asthe fisheries dispute shall have been settled. The question is: Will the Presi- dent take such a step’? Will he take mea- sures to jeopardize a trade with these pro- vinces amounting toover$72,000 per annum, for the sake of settling some minor dis- putes involved in a fisheries trade amount- ing to only about $2,500,000? Did those speakers at the Merchants’ Club dinner stop to think that the importations of eggs alone | from the provinces are of greater value than | the fish trade? Then there comes the potatoes and the oats, the coal and the lum- yer —shall their importationsbe stopped till] the question of buying fish bait is settled ?} Chus farthe President has proved himself to be ‘level-headed and far-sighted,” and it is nut too much to hope tnat his sensible policy will be continued in regard to those LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. | assisted Ly some of the best Musical aud Literary made by Messrs. bury, Rice, Long and Babson at the dinner of the Merchants’ Club on Thursday even- ing, there is and can be but one side to the fisheries question. The Canadians are not \only wrong, but'they are perversely and knowingly wrong; hence it would be just as useless to argue or reason with them as | it would be to enter into a discussion with la stone image. On the other hand, a series of letters from this country and Canada has recently appeared in the L mdou Tines, the purport of which is that, considered on the ground of international usage, and the rights of a people to their local pos- sessions, the American preten- sions are preposterous in the extreme, con- stituting as they do a claim which no nation in Europe would think of making upon one of its neighbors. It is the mis- fortune of mankind that the greater part of them are utterly incapable of seeing but one side of a question when their own inter- ests are involved. It is said that the man of one idea is a better advocate than the one whose judgment is controlled by a per- ception of qualifications; but, admitting this, it may be added that the man who is capable of perceiving that a shield has both a silver and a gold gide is very much less likely to plunge blindly and hot-headedly into what may prove to be an exceedingly disastrous conilict. — Boston Herald. - % SATURDAY, MARCH 19, 1887, | “ The Fisheries. | gems So ens ba == — ime vane jase ty, te, atteones’ ANNOUNCEMENT EXTRAORDINARY = EN order to haye more room, and increase our Printing, Bookbinding and Blank Book Manufacturing Business, we are enlarging our premises, and have disposed of our Stock of ‘General Stationery, Blank Books, Law and Customs Blanks —— a MR.

(London correspondence Montreal Star. ) A correspondent just arrived from Cra- cowsinforms me that ten thousand men are engaged night and day in fortifying this place. Austria’s preparation for war is herculean, but late. Germany, on the hand, is prepared to start «a campaign to- morrow. Army contracts are signed, offi- cers have sealed marching orders and the expectation of immediate war is almost universal. The army’s state of readiness is perfect, not a gaiter button being wanting to its equipment. Business is completely suspended. Commercial relations have been so much disturbed that public opinion favors immediate release from the tension. In Germany, notwithstanding the rumors of a probable violation of Belgian territory, the feeling is that the campaign will be conducted as in 1870 on the Alsace-Lor- raine frontier. France, I believe, is not so ready for war as Germany will be. It is thoroughly understood that if war breaks out in the west of Europe it would be _ be- gun by Germany for tactical and diplomatic reasons, to neutralize France in the event of an Austro-Russian conflict. A Saivation Army Victim. Mrs. John Esson,; who fell in the Salva- tion Army ranks, Friday evening, in the street, an died wext morning, was un- doubtedly killed by ‘‘religious” excitement. She was weak in body, and of a highly emotional temperament, and the exposure and excitement of the parade were too much for her. Her friends, knowing her dauger, had kept her away from Army gatherings for some time, but she managed to get to this one, There is nothingstrange in her sad death. The only wonder is that more of the class of persons who take the most active part in the Army meetings are not stricken down with equal suddenness. The state cf mind in which they live--those of them whe are sincere--is unnatural and exhausting. March- ing through the snow, and sirging in the cold air, is not a proper exercise for young women. The open air singing is particu- larly injurious, and if we had a branch of the Society for the protection of Children its first work would be the rescuing of boys and girls who are climbing up the golden stairs to the beat of the Salvation Army drum. Common sense, humanity, experi- ence, and the teachings of science, cry out against the criminal excesses which are committed in the sacred name of religion, but nothing is done to stop them. The cloak of religion wins toleration for even criminal folly. The public enjoys the show, and does not concern itself about the wasted time and shattered nerves of those who furnish it. Even when, as in Mrs. Esson’s case, a vic- tim falls in the street, the crowd leaves the corpse and follows the procession.—(Chat- ham World. > + >< AN offensive breath is most distressing, not brought down {the house.
