men cannot, of course, be obtained. But
for the conduct of public business, the same care is required in the selection of men as for the conduct of private business; snd as the character of a private establish- ment is shown by the character of those employed about it, so is the character of a country made evident to the world by those selected to carry on its Government and see its public affairs.

Mr. Sullivan has been longer Premier of Prince Edward Island than any other gentleman who has ever held the posi- tion; and however much they dislike him or desire to see him ousted, his political op- ponents cannot take the ground that he is not a careful and prudent administrator. He is, we believe, the most careful and prudent—the most ‘‘ discreet ’—man who has ever led the Government in this Pro- vince.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Floral Exhibition.
A SUGGESTION.
Srm—As the time is approaching when the Commissioners of our Exhibition will meet for consultation as to their arrangements, | wouid like to call attention to the Floral Department. The taste for flowers has greatly developed during late years, and the show in this respect might readily be made a credit to our city. Unfortunately the tume fixed for the Exhibition, October, renders it impossible to make a’ ‘creditable display of flowers. Almost every year frosts destroy our flowers
Exhibition takes prac e, and the season is too
garden before’ the late for house flowers, with very few. ex- ceptions. Ido not remember to have seen a really creditable _ show. of lilies, verbenas, pelargoniums or portulacca—while I know that these flowers are grown very successfully here. A few persons who have glass houses may be able to ‘compete successfully, but if the object of a Floral Exhibition is to cultivate this taste among our citizens, generally, some change should be made. Of course the grain and vegetable show could not well be held at an earlier date than October. [ ‘am _ inclined to believe that an exhibition of flowers, held about the middle or end of August, would be self sustaining ; that the entrance fee, together with the pcrtion of the grant allotted to the Floral Department, would defray the expense of prizes and any other necessary outlay. I should like to see an expression of opinion from those interested in flowers. The present bids fair to be an earlier season, and probably by October our garden flowers will be nowhere. GARDENER,

Boston Markets.
Boston, June 2. Potrators—-The market sustains a fairly steady tone on choice stock. Eastern Hebrons command 65 to 70c, and the best Houlton Rose are taken at 60 to 65c. Eastern Prolifics are steady at 60c. North- ern stock rules principally at 50 to 55c. P. E. Island Chenangoes have been selling from wharf at 45 to 50c. New Southern rule at $3 to $4 per bri. An easier tend- ency at the close.
Fiso—Receipts of new Mackerel con- tinue very small, and most of the vessels of the Southern fleet are arriving home empty, not having seen any fish for about two weeks. Fifteen arrivals at Gloucester on Monday, with only 325 brls. Mackerel in all. For old Mackerel there is a little more demand, but buyers will not pay any ad- vance. We quote old No. 2 Shore at $5.50 to $6 per brl. for ordinary grades, and $7 for extras. Very little call for old Nova Scotia Mackerel, and no reliable quotations

sladstone Explains.
Lonpvon, June 5.
Lord Salisbury has severely criticised Senator Blaine’s Home Rule speech recent- ly delivered at Portland, Me.
Gladstone writes to the papers that he holds it to be indisputable, indeed elemen- tary that a vote on the second reading of the Home Rule Bill affirms only the prin- ciple of establishing a Legislative body in Ireland to transact business relating solely and purely to Irish affairs as distinct from those of an Imperial character. The Gov- ernment, he says, consider and hold them- selves free to accept any proposals, consist- ent with the five main conditions which they deem essential to a solution of the
question, which may be submitted to them |
previous to the autumn _ session. These conditions include that of Irish representation at Westminster to take part in the discussion and _ settlement
of Imperial business, and the Government are, Gladstone feels, not only at liberty but are in duty bound to fully consider any amendments so submitted to them.
Further Reciprocity Wanted, Orrawa, June 5.
Hon. Mr. Chapelau has received a state- ment signed by seventy members of Parlia- ment. The statement refers to the great importance of trade with the West Indies, and favors the conclusion of a reciprocity treaty between Canada and Jamaica. The Leeward Islands also desires the privileges of commercial reciprocity with Canada, and the statement sets forth that it is desirable that all barriers in the way of securing reciprocity treaties between Canada and Jamaica, and between Canada and any Bri- tish West India colony, should be at once removed by application to the Colonial Office. In the event of a treaty or treaties being secured, it is asked that three resi- dent agents be located at the three chief ports in the West Indies with which Canada’s trade is carried on.
The trade of Canada with the West In- dies last year aggregated three million dol-
lars. *acificators Approaching. Wasuineton, D, C., June 5. The North Atlantic squadron of the
United States navy are under orders for sea. It will at once proceed east and re- ceive further orders at Portland, Me. They will then, under orders from the Navy Department, visit the fishing grounds, and it is hoped that their presence will help to allay rather than increase existing com- plications and antagonisms.
