NOTES AND COMMENTs.

—Practically, nothing doing in the Parliament of Canada. Hen. members are drawing their indemnities, all the

same.

—Our Liberals had great fun in drag- ging Mr. Wise out of the Legislature; but looked at from the Uttawa point of view of Sir Louis Davies the spectacle was anything but funny.

—Publie opinion throughout Canada, as well as in this Province, is being stirred te its depths by the flagrant breacn of the principles of Responsible Government that nas appeared in this Province.

—The St. Joho Sun remarks : There is seme doubt concerning the prevent wher-- abouts of Mr. Tarte. It is apparently not known whether be is in Paris or in Rome, or on his way to Washington with the otber Boer delegates, But he is drawing his pay.

—The il'egal dragging of Mr. from his seat and imprisoning him in the Speaker’s room has made! A seneation all over Canada. | When it is known that tbe Journals of the Legislature were falsified to make the outrage appear the less scandalous the sensation will be height ened.

—The coa! output on Vancouver Island B. C., for the year 1899 exceeds that of previous years by nearlv 50,000 tons, In 1891 the outpu. was 1,029,098 tone; in 1894, 1,012,953 tons;in 1898, 1,117,915 tons; and last year’s record was 1,166,251 tons. The foreign shipments are to United | States Pacific coast porte,to Alaska, Hawaiian Islands aud Australia.

—The Montreal Star suggests that ‘‘the rev: lations ic Manitoba are a hint to us why the Laurier Government should feel €o anxious to keepthe tettering P. KE. I. Geyernment in power for a little while

atroom to Jobanonesburg; and is in direct eommdtonication by rail with

| up almost ovt ofsight. One of our con~

| temporaries remarks that the Minister of Agriculture is too nuch engrossed in bis lawn tennis to think eeridOuely of the in- terests of the farmer.

—I: ia announced that President Mc- Kinley has teen authorized to invite Great Britain to join a commission, four from each Government, to consider the diversion of waters along the boundary of the United States and Canada, The in- quiry is desigued principally to ascertain the effect of the level of the great lakes caused by improvements at the Weliand Canal, Sault Ste. Marie Canal and the Chicago Drainage Canal.

—The Republican convention to be held at Philadelphia next month will include representatives from Eawali. They wili not be very influential, for out of a popu- lation of 100,000 there are 3,000 American citizens, vearly ail Republicans, for a | ereat many of them are Office nolders ap-

pe inted by President McKinley. As one | of the Boston papers puis il, “for the first / time @ mongrel ;opulation of this sort is to take part in the selection ofa candidate for president of the United States.” bag Tone St. Joho Sun remarks that “When the Liberalsacquiredadwm ipistration at Ottawa,we were promised purity, They | gave us T'arte. We were promised econ- lemy. They gave us Blair and Sifton. | We were promised less taxation. We got | more. We were promised a reduction of We got an increase. We were

| the debt. | promised preferential trade. We have

Kroon” | given a preference but received none. And

ata time when Britain’s colonies were

were wrangling over the question of duty to the Empire until other colonies bad acted, and ti.! public opinion forced their band.”

- The latest fad in Paris is startling: Instead of a menu, the different cour-es are introduced bya kinetograph. The table was arranged in a horseshoe, so that by the aid of a few candles all the guests could eee the white silk screen placed at the open end. Suddenly, onthe acreen there appeared a scene showing men and women trying to save ihemselves and their oyster irone from a storm in which their beats were on the point of being swamped, while women and children were wringing their hands on the shore. After this ecene oysters were served. Thesoup was introduced by an appropriate picture, as was the fish ; while before the rcast an abattoir was shown with all its gruesome details.

—Germany’s remarkably rapid indus- trial progress is attested by the following figures: The Prussian Budget in 1872 | showed ou the credit side £32,000,000. The amount for 1880 was £40,000.008: for 1890, £87,006,000; and for 1900, £120-

000,008. These enormous increases are typical! of the finances in the reset of the federared eta'e:, Germaa thipping now stands

second in the world with 1.594,596 tone, and its steam tonnage in 1899 was about ten times that of 1872. At least 70 per centeof the Empire’s commerce is now sea~borne, In regard to its public debt Germany is exceptionally fortunate. The principal outlay has been on railwaye, which not only pay for themselves bur yield a handsome profit. ‘he true im perial debt—that incurred on the army and pnavy—is about—+£115 000000, or less than one-fifth of Britaius.

Sufferings in India.

Loxpon, May 12. — Sir Francis McLean, Chiet Justice of Bengal and chairman of the famine relief committee, cabling to the Lord Mayor of Loaden, A. J. Newton, whose fund reached £230,000 today, cails attention to the fact that thie is the moment when money is most urgently re- quired to assist the peasantry with seed and catile for ploughing, in view of the com- ing monsoon,

Ihe latest mails from India give addi- tionai details of the calamity which bas befallen “ the brighest jewel in the Im- perial crown.” A correspondent, writing from Nagpore, capital of the Central Pro- vinc-s,on April 20th saye :

“It isimpossible to convey by means of mere figures any adequate idea of the paralyzing effect of a drought euch as Iodia is now experiencing. We can lump together statistics showing the actual loss of the gorernment. This, however, takes no account of the further loss of the great mass of agriculturisies, wbho have exhausted every resource in ~— the struggle for existence and who have been left penniless, Tie net cost to the government will be eight aud a quarter millions, and the value of the wheat crop destroyed is eight to ten millions sterling and the cotton crop seven millions, while the great oilseed crop is non-existent outside of Benga', the north-~ west provinces and Oude. On a mod~ erate computation the cultivators of Bom- bay province bave lost fifteen millions 10 food crops and three millions on cot- ton. More sericus and more far-reaching tban thedestruction ofthe crops is the awful mortality in cattle. In the Ahmeda- bad district tne splendid Cuzerot oxen have perished by the million, and men and women are playing the part of beasts of burden, dragging the lumbering carts slong the rough country roads, Given a fair season, the Indian peasantry will recover from the effects of the famine with @ rapidity little short of marvel- lous, Buttwo conditions will this year test their recuperative powers to an un~ usual degree. First the occurrence of the second drought before the traces of the previous one had been eliminated; second the unprecedeated mortality among the cattle. On a sanguine estimate, six years mus‘telapse betore the central pros vinces return to their norma! conditions. In the Recean it is the same case, and at Guzerat and Rijputana the interval will be even Jonger.”
