NOTES AND COMMENTS

—Professor Robertson has returned to Ottawa. He did not receive a public ception, though he is entitled to one on

account of good work done.

re-

—Iu view of recent British successes as Ameer of Afghanistan has returned to his allegiance to British iurerests. “There’s nothing succeeds like success.”

—The Montreal Witness condemns in strong terms Hon. Mr. Tarte’s “ridiculous plan” for the improvement of Montreal harbor, and says that Mr. Tarte can have no Other purpose than tkat of wasting valuable space of the harbor.

—That must have been a knowing smile which Mr. Peters smiled when be denied an understanding between Liberals and liquor dealers in Charlottetown, according to which liquor dealers supported the Liberals in the election of Wednesday and Liberals helped the liquor dealers in the election of Thursday!

—It is noticed as a curious fact thai the tone of the entire Russian press changed during Emperor William’s stay at St Pet- ersbt rg and became frankly Anglophobic. Tt is st:ted thata genera! urderstanding has been arrived at between Russia and Germany and that Great Britain wil) henceforth find these two countries in her way.

—A Western Exchange says that there is yet to be the first expression of favorable opinicn here on the ccast in regard to the

Yukon mining regulations. We are in- formed from Ottawa that they are to be at | once enforced, but another despatch says they will be modified. The difficulty is that the ministers, who framed them, have really no idea of the subject with which they are dealing.

—The Montreal Star’s London cable says that Sir Wilfrid Laurier’s acceptance ofa gold medal at the Cobden Club is spoken of in London as the last nail ic the ecthn of Hon Mr. Chamberlain’s Zollverein scheme. Some, aowever, like the Standard slyly remind Sir Wilfrid Laurier that de- spite his ardent free trade panegyrics the diminished orb of protection, rather than the struggling planet of free trade, is the guiding star of popular Canadian politics.

against the rebels of India, the

—The number of women engaged in self-supporting occupations in-the United States is steadily increasing. Col. Carroll D. Wrighv’s report for the national labor commission showsa large gain in the numbers of those thus employed. Married women are about one-eight of the entire number. Men are entering the business of cooks in large number, but it will scarcely be possible for those who support the theory of unrelieved domesticity for women to make capital of this, as men find situations as cooks in hotels, at clubs, on yacbts and in like situations. It is not true, of course, that young men are push- ing into domestic service as cooks except in households where the trained service of a high priced “chef is required. The statistics show a decrease in the percentage of women in housework of all sorts.

—The statement that the Hon. Mr. Blair has been constrained to take a trip toGreat Britainto get rid of the office- seekers who besieye him, sets forth, in a striking way, one of the evil results of the Spoils System. Ministers and politicians are compelled, on account of this system, to spend a great deal of time which ought to be employed in the service of the country in dickering with office seekers and trying to conciliate those who are disappointed ; and when the pressure be- comes to great to be borne they leave their duties to the country and, as in the case of Mr. Biair, go abroad for a season. How much happier the Liberal ministers would now be, if they had at the beginning caused it to be announced that they would have nothing todo with spoils or spoils- men, and would only fill up vacancies as they occurred in the natural order of life and business !

—When thanking the Cobden Club for their giftof a gold medal Sir Wilfrid Laurier said the commercial supremacy of Great Britain was assured until the United States adopted free trade. Sir Wilfrid said later he would sail for Canada by the steamer Labrador on Wednesday, and added: “I am glad to emphasize how I have been received everywhere in the most cordial manner, particularly by the Pope, who filled me with wonderment as to how so much vigorous and keen intel- lect could be housed in such an emaciated body. The Pope is bent double and appears to be in the frailest health, though be is not troubled with any bodily ailment, and his whole mental machinery is marvel lous I was amazed at the profundity of his knowledge of Canadian affairs, was charmed with his exquisite gentleness and

Montreal Gazette: European correspon- dents are making out that the visit of President Faure to St. Petersburg, follow- ing that of Kaiser W_lhelm, means that England is to be isolated inthe European concert of nations. Being somewhat used to isolat‘on “probably the situation will worry England less than it does the cor respondents. England even finda isola

La Patrie: “There is no need of becom- ing alarmed at the latest tariff move of the American Government. For the last ten years we have, relatively speaking, doue but little business with the United States and we have pot sutfered in consequence. Let us foster more and nore the English market, since our natural markets are closed tous. The Canadian Government has in its hands arms with which to pro- tect itself against the ill-willof the neigh- bouring Republic. We hope that it will use them with prudence and firmness.”

Le Courrier du Canada does not believe in the Conservatives taking any part whatever in the receptions to be tendered to Sir Wilfred Laurier, which will be used, it claims, for politieal effect. It admits that Sir Wilfred discharged his duties creditably in England, France and elsewnere, but adds that he is the same man he was when he went away, “ the speaker without doctrine, the Minister without word, the politician without

A new terror bas heen added to the life- of mankind and & new weapon in womei’s hands by female municipal enfranchise- ment. A lady of Kansas City used her “vote and influence” as a leverage to feat a faithful swain who was ruoning the office of Mayor. She appealed to the voters of her own sex, and succeeded in defeating by a sweeping majority the man who had jilted her.
