Notes and Comments. —The Halifax Chronicle exclaims: * rhe moment has come to strike fer reciprocity. After the passage of the McKinley Bill
—In connection with the potato disease in Ireland, the Loadon correspondent of the New York Herald admits that ‘‘there is no famine, and is not likely to be one.’
The Amherst Record says :‘*Continuous wet weather makes the farmer an object of special sympathy. If he has been fortunate enough to getin hismarsh hay, hislate grain, and his potatoes, he is is in many cases, kept busy picking over the tubers in his celler, to prevent them from soon becoming worthless by the rotting which threatens them. But there is a great quantity ol grass inundated and hay afloat.”
—Advices from the Toronto section speak favorably of the results of the ex- periments with the two-rowed seed barley imported by the Government from Eng- land last spring. The grain is heavy and of good color, and well fitted for the Eng- lish market. If other samples turn out as well, the Gevernment will have reason to be satisfied with its venture. Its policy, at any rate, is One of action, and in the end will discount that of its opponents, which is one of groans.
— Those Canadian journals which oscil- late between the advocacy of free trade and demands ‘for a great American zollverin should take into their serious consideration the objection raised by Col. Denison to their inconsistent course. He says :—
“*T am too much ofa free trader to wish to see my country enclosed in the iron grip of the United States tariff, which is about twice our ewn, shut out from all the world beside, and at the mercy of the gigantic combines and monopolies of the United States.”
— The Empire remarks: ‘‘ From Mon- treal, from Halifax and from other points there are coming constantly to hand indica- tions of the effect of the McKinley tariff. Eggs being shipped steadily to England with a favorable reception for the first con- signments ; potatoes being sent in consider- able quantities to Cuba; hay going to Eng- land and the West Indies ; large exports of apples to the United Kingdom, with no fall in prices; barley holding its own in spite of the raised duty—these and similar reports show that Canada is not quite at the mercy of Washington, and that Canadians have not lost their old spirit of enterprise.”
—Toronto Empire: The citation of the late Hon. George Brown by Col. Denison as having also been loyal to Canada and opposed to annexation, leads the Globe to remark that he ‘* forgets thatthe world has moved, and men’s minds with it, since Mr. Brown left the scene.” There has, indeed, been a great change since Mr. Brown left the scene, but the change is ia the Globe, whose founder had no such unpatriotic pro- clivities as his now degenerate journal. The mistake of the Globe is in imagining that the change which disgraces it prevails widely in Canada.
—A New Brunswick journal says that ‘It is only necessary to grow the crop that will sell, or the crop that can be turned into things that will sell.” This may be criticized as a mere truism, and as being simply a description of the general practice of our intelligent farmers. But in fact it is timely, and therefore useful advice in view of the mournful cries now being uttered by the pessimists, who would persuade our farmers that they must be ruined because our neighbors show a reluctance to pur- chase our produce. In practice the advice is not very difficult to follow.
—The mode] of the great Ship Railway that is being constructed for us across the isthmus of Chignecto has been examined by thousands of our citizens. The Lieut.- Governor inspected it to-day. His Honor has been a promoter of the Ship Railway from its inception, and has taken a deep interest in the progress of the work. He is a firm believer in the practicability of the enterpris@, @ad also in its financial success. He thinks that it will prove a great boon to the commerce of Eastern America and warmly commends the ability and public spirit of Mr. Ketchum, C. E., to whom the world will be indebted for it.
—Canada is henceforth to have the ben-' efit of pareel post with Japan, an arrange- ’ ment for that purpose having been made by ovr Postal Department with the Gov- ernment of that country. Our trade with Japan, now in its infancy, is likely to grow. Five pound parcels conveyed between the two countries at the rate of 25 cents a pound, will serve its most useful purpose in the passing of samples. A little assorting can also be dove in that way. The Mone- tary Times says that the arrangement is timely and is sure to be availed of at once. Taken in connection with the Canadian Pa- cific steamers, direct and speedy conveyance of parcels is assured. The American Gov- ernment has not yet obtained similar facil- ities.
—The Toronto Globe has been to the ex- pense of telegraphing from London the opinion of a writer in the London Times that “if Canada admits tin plates free of duty she can command the markets of the world, as against the States, for tinned meats, vegetables and fruits.” There have, says the Montreal Gazette, been worse sug- gestions. The idea is in keeping with the principles upon which the National policy is based, that raw materials not produced in the country should be free. The only thing out of place is that the Times writer and the Globe editor do not know what they talk about. The Canadian tariff contains this clause among the list of free

A meeting was held to-day in the Legis- | It isdisagreeable to be meeting disap- .

A. B. Warsurton, Sec’y. Sad Suicide.
MRS. JOHN M'PHAIL, OF CLYDE RIVER, HANGS HERSELF WHILE VISITING A SISTER AT Lor 48.
WE regret very much to bear that Mrs. John McPhail, of Clyde River, committed suicides by hanging at Lot 48, early yes- terday afternoon, while visiting her sister, Mrs. Jenkins. It appears that Mrs. Mc- Phail, who had been the guest of Mrs. Jenkins for about four weeks, complained of a dizziness in her head while at dinner yesterday, but nothing much was thought of this at the time. Shortly after dinner Mrs. McPhail started out for a walk, tell- ing Mrs. Jenkins, whom she met just out- side the door, that a walk always did her good. After Mrs. McPhail had been ab- sent a short time, the rain began to fail, and Mrs. Jenkins wenttout to lovk fer her. Not seeing her about anywhere, she went to the granery, and finding that the door was fastened on the inside, an unusual thing, she suspected that something was wrong, and going to a relative’s house near by, she induced some of the young men to come over and open the dour. After ob- taining an entrance, a sad sight met their eyes. Suspended from a beam, with a leather rein about her neck and a shawl closely wrapped about her face as if to hide her features, was the lifeless body of Mrs. McPhail. Close beside her was the saddler’s wooden horse and a chair upon which the poor woman had stood while adjusting the rein to the beam and about her neck. She had stood upon these articles while making pre- parations for committing the rash act, and when all was ready she stepped off into space. The force of the drop caused the rein to tighten about her neck, and death was only a question of time. There was evidently no struggle, as neither the horse nor chair were disturbed. There was no contortion of the features. Aside from the dizziness in her head, no cause can be assigned for the rash act. Mrs. McPhail was a woman about 65 years of age. An in- quest will be held.
Boston Markets. Boston, Oct. 16.
Eccs.— Receipts are falling off and the mar- ket is ruling firmer under the shortened sup- ply. Strictly extr» new laid eastern are scarce and firm at 25 cents. Choice fresh N38, N B, and P E Island well at 2c. Ex- tra Michigau and some of the best marks of other western are also brivging 23c. Good ice-house held stock brings 20 cents. Limed quiet.
PoTraTors.—Receipts have fallen off a good deal and the market has been generally cleaning up. There has been considerable improvement within the past two or three days on good sound fresh stock, and the mar- ket for such goods closes firm at quotations. There is some old stock left that is closin out for what it will bring. Maine Rose an Hebrons sell at $1.75 to $2 per bbl; NS and N B Rose and Hebrons at $1.75 to $2 per bbl.
Pouttry.—Northern and eastern chickens and fowls have been selling fairly when strict- ly choice, but common lots have been dull and only salable at very low prices. Western iced chickens and fowls have also been in large supply and extremely dull with most sales at 10c perlb and under. A few northern and eastern young turkeys have been selling at 18 to 23c as to quality and condition. Western iced turkeys in moderate demand at 15 tol7c. Live stuffin lighter supply, but selling at about former prices.
Fisu.—Trade has been rather slow in most all lines for the past week. Codfish are still in short supply and ruling high. Box herring are quiet. Bbl herring about steady. The mackerel trade is dull, and we have to report a further decline in prices.

Mr. Dennis McQuaid | was appointed chairman aud the under- sigued secretary.
The pastor, Rev. M. J. McMillan, spoke of the difficulties which he himself exper- ienced from having letters that demanded ' an immediate answer going miles away and coming back to him in the course of two or three weeks. The best remedy he could point out was to change the name of our present post office, formerly known as | ‘**Cardigan Road P. O,” and let it be} known in future as St. Teresa’s P. 0. for | it is near St. Teresa’s Church and the name
| post office on the Island. There are a number of places in King’s County called | Cardigan Road and then there is Cardigan, and letters addressed Cardigan, go to Car- digan Bridge P.O. Some s of this | parish as the parish of Baldwin’s Road and
of Cardigan which is not correct, for this
chureh is not on Baldwiu’s Road nor, at Cardigan, but our letters often go! there. This parish aod church should | be called by its proper name
and joe lity, which is St. John Kenny, Terrence Cairns, Dennis | MecQusd and other members pres: | ent expressed themselves to the’ same effect, and were satisfied with the
name our Post Office was to have in future.
We do not find fault with any of the
officials in the Post Office in Charlottetown,
nor with those in other post oftices. They send
ps mail matter to where they are direct-
A resolution was therefore read to the —— that the name of the Post Office formerly known as Cardigan Road Post Office be changed, and in future known as St. Teresa’s Post Office, and that Mr. Brecken, Post Office Inspector, in Char- lottetown be notified and respeetfully re- quested to approve of the change.
Also resclved that the name of the school district formerly known as Gleno or Cardigan Road Schoo] District be changed, and in future known as St. Teresa's School District, and that Mr. J. A. Nicholson, Superintendent of Education, be notified and respectfully requested to approve of the change.
These resolutions being put by the pastor, seconded by John Henry, supported - Dennis McQuaid, Andrew Bradley, J.
cCarthy, J. H. Bradley, P. Goodwin, Francis McAree and others were unani- mously agreed to by the whole meeting.
