Comprar that the roads have not been "properly broken come from every part of Some persons seem to be careless- the country. surprised that such evidences of ness and neglect ‘should co-exist with a Grit Government. The North River Bridge was quite bare on Tuesday, when all the people came to market, and one of the rails was off. But the supervisor, under a Grit : Government,is above such details, —_——————— 8 Protection and Reciprocity. Unper this heading the St. John Tele- graph says : “In a speech delivered in the Senate on Washington on Thursday last Senatar Hale, of Maine, said ‘the did not hesitate in stating as the result of his observation, that that. gec- tion of the McKinley act which contained the reciprocity feature was the part of the mes- ‘eure which had floated the whole act, and was that part of the bill which kept it from being swamped by the storm, which, with or without reason, broke upon itfrom the day of its passage.” He adde that ‘‘reciprocity is the handmaid of protection.” These state- ments are very significant, coming as they do from a pronounced protectionist. It means that the stage has been reached where protec- tion can no longer stand alone, and can no longer be maintained on its own basis or “merits in the United States. 1t has to be “floated” now.” The Telegraph seems not to know that Reciprocity ia but one of the forms of Protection. Reciprocity with Free Trade Great Britain even hesitates todiscriminate in favor of her own Colonies—lest she should, by so doing, act contrary to the principles of Free Trade. But the States and Canada, both under protection, could consistently and rightly reciprocate trade in certain articles, as. proposed by the Canadian Gov- ernment. The out-and-out Free Trader Canadian who wants an unrestricted reci_ procity with the States which will dis - criminate heavily against Great Britain and all the world is as inconsistent as he is unpatriotic to the British Empire. But, like the St. John Telegraph, he may not know it. 7 ———_o+9+o Notes and Comments. —The St. John Sun remarks that so far the government has had only one chance to make a gain, as only one opposition seat has yet been contested. here remain twenty-three chances, with two or three more in prospective, far Liberal Conserva- tive gains: —The Montreal Gazette and other news- papers contend for the abrogation of the tax of one cent per two ounces, to be paid on all Canadian newspapers sent to Eng- land. This, itis pointed out, is equal to an export duty of 50 to 100 per cent. on newspapers sent across the Atlantic, a tax upon the best means of making Canada better known in England. —Estimating five persons to each family, Census Bureau calculations demonstrate that the federal debt of the United States amounts to $78.15 per wee On a similar basis of calculation, the debt of Great Britain is $337.60 per family; of Austro-Hungary, $354.20, and of France, $581.75. Germany has no statistics from which to figure out ac- curately her debt per family, but the indebt- edness is estimated at $400. High protective duties have operated to lessen the debt of the States. —The St. John Sun thinks that we are on the eve of another change in the grit leadership. It says: *‘The opposition leader cannot safely de- nounce his friend and master, the Quebec remier, and Sir Richard Cartwright has pro- bably found this outalready. The truth is that Mr. Laurier’s career as leader of the arty is drawing to a close. Except so far as r. Mercier’s influence and the Mercier boodle have given him success in Quebec, he is o flat failure. The time has come for another charge.” —No one dares smile at any of the schemes of rapid transit proposed in the name of electricity now-a-days, so wonder- fulare the things done by it. But articles of incorporation have just been filed in Illinois by an electric railway company which proposes to build a road between Chicago and St. Louis, and make the dis- tance between the two cities in two hours and a half. This means a speed of some- thing like 100 miles an hour. The cars are to be long and compact, with two pairs of driving wheels, each operated by a novel electric motor. The wheels are to be cap- able of making 500 revolutions a minute, and to prevent accidents the road is to be divided into 26 sections of ten miles each, go a8 to constitute a perfect block system. Such a train would apparently rival that marvellous one of Jules Verne to the moon. But the West is filled with hustlers, and perhaps the Windy City has a surprise in store for the Columbian visitors. L. U.

Méonertt, Esq., delivered ‘toa fair audience at St, James’ Hall, last evening, his lecture on Daniel O'Connell, born in 1775 in County Kerry, Ireland. The learned lecturer's excellent address was an able review of the life and times of the great Irish patriot. Notable incidents of O’Connell’s early life and matured years were pointed out showing the great power and influence which he exercised over his fellow-countrymen. ‘The untitled young Irish lawyer O’Connell, possessed all the essential qualities which made him a man for the times in which he lived. His genius excelled at the bar. Many a culprit escaped the sentence of the court, rather because he was O’Connell’s client, than because he was innocent of the alleged charge. Among many instances showing cases, in which witnesses were questioned by the Irish Barrister the following was one— What ia your religion / My mother’s religion Sir. What was your mother’s religion ? The true religion to be sure. Whilst the Irish agitator appealed to the people to ‘-agitate,” ‘‘agitate,” he at the same time exhorted them to act consti- tutionally; for Lreland’s wrongs, he said, must be vindicated without the shedding ot blood. The two great objects of his life were Emaucipation and Repeal of the Union. O'Connell had a stroag physique and a good constitution. Yet atter many years of mental labor and excessive anxiety for the welfare of Ireland, his hirculean strength was broken; his voice which had pealed with such thrilling power over assembled thousands sank at last to. an almost inaaudable whisper. Statesmen of all arties testified their sympathy. The Queem of England, with never to be forgotten kind- ness of heart, expressed her sorrow— This great patriot and statesman died at Genoa on May 15th, 1847. He bequeathed his body to Ireland, and his heart to the Eternal City. The former rests in the cem- etery of Glasnevin, near Dublin, tht latter in the Church of St. Agatha, at Rome.” Remarks appreciative of the lecture were made by James Byrne, Esq., who proposed a vote of thanks, which was seconded by Pro- tessor McSwain, and supported by Edward Roche, Esq., in truly patriotic style. 1t is needless to add that the thanks of the meet- ing were unanimously accorded, and conveyed by Mr. John A. Nicholson, who occupied the chair, to Mr. Macneill, to which he court iously replied. ++ ———_____—_—— The Presbytery TO ASK THK LOCAL LEGISLATURE FOR THE FRANCHISE FOR WOMEN. The Presbytery of P. E. Island met in Zion Church Tuesday, Rev. J. W. Mce- Kenzie presiding. Rev. J. R. Coffin was elected Moderator for the next six months, but in his absence the duties of the chair were discharged by Mr. McKenzie. Papers were read from the session of Caledonia, which showed that the Presbytery’s instruc- tions to the session of Valleyfield had been carried out. A petition from the congrega- tion of Woodville was considered. Tuesday, the 16th inst., was appointed as the date of the ordination of Mr. R. G. Vans, as missionary in the congregation of Lot 14 and Lot 16, the services to be held in Lot 16 Church at 7 p. m., Mr. Coftia to preach, Mr. Dickie to address the minister and Mr. Tufts the people. It was moved by Mr. Mason, seconded by Mr. Mahon, and unanimously agreed to, that ‘“Whereas, intemperance is not only a sin against Almighty God, but also a great social and national curse ; i. And Whereas, total prohibition seems to be the only true and rational mode of deal- ing with this monster evil ; And Whereas, we believe that a prohib- itory law would be more speedily obtained if women were allowed to vote ; Therefore Resolved, That the Presbytery of P- E. Island humbly ask our Local Legis- lature to grant women the right of voting at all elections of members of the Local Legislature, and at all other elections in any way under their control. Messrs. Mason, Archibald and Mahon were appointed a committee to aid the ad- vocacy of this petition. Rey. D. B. McLeod was authorized to moderate in a call to Murray Harbor South on the 18th inst. An application for a grant from the augmentation fund on behalf of the Tryon congregation was re- ceived and reeommended. Rev. D. M. Gordon, Halifax, was unanimously nomi- nated for the moderatorship of next gen- eral assembly. Messrs. J. G. Cameron, John Sutherland, W. P.. Archibald, and A. Gunn were appointed commissiuners by rotation, and A. McLean Sinclair, David Sutherland, W. A. Mason, and D. B. Me- Leod, hy election to represent the Presby t sry at next general assembly. The elders ap- pointed were Messrs. James Ramsay, J. A Lawson, H. M. McLeod, John Simpson, Bevjamn Rogers, D. J. Campbell, Clow and Clogswell. On motion of the Rev. David Sutherland, Messrs. Archibald afd Mahon were requested to give expression to the Presbytery’s sense of the loss sustained in the death of Mr. R. M. Barratt. They drew up the following minute which was unanimously adopted : “The Presbytery having heard of the death of R. M. Barratt, a member of the Session of Zion church, agrees to put on record its sense of his valuable services within the bounds of our Presbytery in supplying vacant charges. In this work Mr. Barratt proved himself faithful and acceptable to our people. The Presbytery would also recognize his continued and valuable labors in advocacy of the temperance cause.” ; Rev. J. W. McKenzie tendered his resigna- tion of the pastoral charge of St. Peter's Bay congregation. The Presbytery instructed Mr. A. B. McLeod and Mr, McKenzie to exchange pulpits at some mutually convenient date, when the former shall make known to the congregation their pastor’s action and cite them to appear in their own interests. It was decided to hold a meeting of Presbytery in St. James’ Hal] on the first Tuesday of March, at which the various reports will be considered. Mr. M. McLeod was appointed to Murray Harbor North for the month of February. Presbytery ad- Scabies to meet in Lot 16 church on the 16th nst, DAVID SUTHERLAND, Pres.

Some important questions ariajng out of the prosecutions under the Scott Act at Mount Stewart will be heard before the Master of the Rolls in the Court of Chancery to-morrow afternoon, when a batch of Scott Act offenders now lying in Queen’s County Jail, will be brought before the Court under Writs of Habeas Corpus issued yesterday. “ It seems that three prisoners are now in Queen’s County Jail under warrants issued by the Justices who tried the cases, but in issuing the warrants they did not follow the forms as laid dowa by the Scott Act, and omitted two allegations which, it is said, render the warrants void. 1n mov- ing for the writs yesterday, Mr. Palmer, for the prisoners, directed the attention of the Master of the Rolls to the variance; but His Lordship inclined to the opinion that he could amend the warrants on the hearing under the powers given by the Scott Act. Mr. Palmer then stated that the Magistrates had exceeded their jurisdiction in ordering the payment of the costs of imprisonment and that this was a fatal objection. On this point, the Master of the Rolls stated that on firat impression he thought it very serious and at least sufficient to have the prisoners brought up, and the writs were issued. The hearing comes on to morrow afternoon in the Court Room, and as the points involved. in these cases affect a great number of others, including gome other prisovers in jail, the argument will likely be interesting and the judgment of the Court important. The Attorney- General will, we understrnd, appear for the Crown. Civic. This is nomination day for Mayor, Coun- cillors and Water Commissioner.

T., came off on Friday evening, the 29th ult., and was a very successful affair. Everything went cs merry as 4 marriage bell. By 7.30 the hall was fairly well filed with the youth and beauty of Pownal and vicinity. At 8 o'clock J. J. Gay, Esq., was voted to the chair, and in his usual happy way declared that the hour for opening had arrived, when the choir came promptly to time with ‘* Dear Evelina,” solo and quartette chorus. Miss Maggie H. Brown gracefully presided at the organ. We will give buta brief outline of the programme as it would take much time and space todo it justice. The quartette, “The Sleigh Rider’s Serenade,” sung by Messrs. J. A. Moore, W. E. Smith, J. H. ©. Acorn and. Ac: A-Moore, was decidedly the’ piece of the evening, their voices blending harmoniously. Messrs. Fred. B, Macrae, Frank R. Jones and J. A. Moore, gave excellent readings which well merited the applause they received. ‘Uncle Zeb’s Confederation Speech,” brought down the house. Mr. Moore proved a master hand at imitating the negro dialect. Mr. Wallie Knight delighted the audience with several fine clarinet solos. Organ accompaniment by W. E. Smith. Our city friend is making himself very popular in Pownal, especially with the young ladies. Mr. Von Clure Gay our accom- plished violinist, favored the audience with some selections which were very artistically executed. He was accompanied on the organ by J. A. Moore. The most interesting part of the programme, however, for the young people, was the sale of baskets which was conducted by Mr. Fred. B.
