SOME QUESTIONS.

Artes al! the talk, are we not to have cola storage thie year? Are we not to hare a direct steamship service between thie Province and Great Britain? Are we not to have a second winter steamer for use next season? Is nothing tocome of the revolutions aod deputations of our Board of Trade, the promises and grants of our Liberal Government? Here we are at the tirat of September, with the autumn closing in upon us, and winter approaching. But nothing hae been done towards the im- provement of our trade facilities. This ought not so to be. It is not so elsewhere. In the United States and throughout Canada, the farmers have the advantage of every modern improvement for moving their produce and placing it upon the markets promptly and in the best condi-~ Refrigerator cars are now, we

while the dnglish manufacturers have gone on in their old ways. As the English have been forced to see

—The Montreal Star’s London corres- pondent cables that a New York telegram tw the Morning Post positively announces that the United States Commissioners wil! pot modify the stand they have decided to take in respect to reciprocity with Canada. They will make concession only in return for preferentia) treatment exclusively in favour of the United States and will not pay for equal treatment to that accorded to Great Britain. If so, then reciprocity is absolutely impossible, for positive assurances were received in London from a member of the Canadian Ministry that botreaty willbe consented to by Canada that does not extend tothe Motherland the trade privileges accorded to the States.

—A Quebec conference corresponden, reports a prominent American as saying: “England and the United States, anxious for afriendly understanding, could agree upono @ treaty in a few hours, but you Ca- nadians are so tenacious of your rights that it wil) not bean easy thing ‘to secure an agreement on all points.” Whereupon the Montreal W itpess asks: Is there any-~ thing unreasonable to the American mind

in Canadians being tenacious of their rights ?? .Why should they be expected to part easily with their

rights ? Are they of different stock from the Americans? Americans should not expect Canadians to part with rigats any more easily than they themselves part with their rights, J\is true enough that in the past Great Britain was not tenacious of Canadian rights, but sacrificed them too realily ; but that she would do so now, as the Jprominent American thinks, is a mistake. (avadian lights and their value are now partially, if not fully, understood in Great Britain by British staiesmen, avd it would take more than a ‘few hours’ to reach an agree- ment by which Canada’s rights would be givep away. ‘avada wants an agreement in which both Canadian and American rights shall be conserved, while the interests of both are promoted.

NOTES AND COMMENTS, | THE CZAR'S PEACE PROPOSAL.

—The official correspondence published in British Columbia reveala grave and dis- gracefu! faultson both sides, There cao be no doubt that if what the Lieutenant~ Governor says ia true, the dismissal of the Turner Government waa justifiable, for the alleged conduct of that goveroment was simply fraudulent. On the other hand what is to be said of a Lieutenant~ Governor who attempts to force his own son upon the cabinet by which he is CcopD- stitutionally advised ?

Lonpon, Aug. 39.—Dr. Emil Heich,the eminent Hungar‘an historian and British counsel in the Venezuelan arbitration, in an interview on the Czar’s note, expressed the belief that the Czar’s idea was vision~ ary. He said: “Suppose France disarmed. Her population is now 40,000,000 against Germany’s 52,000,000. In ten years Germaoy would have largely added to her lead in population and France could not display an army nearly as large as her rival’s.

“Sweden and Norway and Italy would like to disarm, and might do ec with im- punity; but for the rest of Europe it 18 impossible. You must fizht unless the present political conditions undergo an early change.”

Lonpon, Aug. 30.—General Wm Booth, of the Sslvaticn Army, seat the following telegram to Emperor Nicholas yesterday : “May it please your Majesty. I have reczived with profound thankfulness to God the news of your imperial majesty’s wise, beneficient and Christ-like proposal

that Europe, like France, will consider the Czar’s proposition in @ Spirit similar to that whereby it was inspired. Neverthe- Jess 1t must not be forgotten that if France cwes it to herself to aid such an attempt, there is another portion of her moral pa- trimevy which she cannot abandon with~ out abdicating the very reason of her ex- istence. France cannot forget the eloquent words exchanged between the Czar and the president regarding the rights of people sad justice. Count Mourayieti’s circular is @ rejoinder togMr. Goschen’s speech, whether or not it was intended; therefore it lacks neither wit nor appropriateness. However, it would be singularly belittling the inspiration and meaning of the propo- sal to see nothing else in it, or connect it with awish to hamper at the outset the

The words complained of are those which conclude the following criticism: Sir Henry Irving’s reputation for thorough productions is world-wide, but diverse opinions may be held as to the excellence of his acting; some hold it to’b perfect and classic in form, others to be very stagey, forced and mannered; what is beyond question, unfortunately, is that very frequentely his voice cannot be heard

Berwin, Aug. 29.—The North German Gazette, referring to the Czar’s peace con- ference proposals, remarks: ‘Our arma- ments were never meant for selfish ends, but only for our own protection and for the maintenauce of peace. We are willing to give a fair trial to another method of attaining the object at a smaller cost.”

The National Zeitung says: “The Czar and his ministers bave not deluded them-~ selyes with the idea that they can rid the | world of the causes which have for years | been responsible for the growing arma- ments. Wheaa great power, Lowever, addresses such proposals to others, they will be recognized everywhere as deserv-
