Witness,

THe observant

and thoughtful man that ‘‘a law not en- forced does harm.” What, we ask again, are the Scott Act promoters doing towards

its enforcement in Charlottetown in the

fu'ure ?

The Public Debt.

Accornpine to the public accounts, the gross debt of Canada on June 30th, 1889, was $287,722,062, and the net debt $237,- 530,041. S.nce then seventeen months have elapsed and the debt is now, gross $284,452,750, and net $24,486,896.

Why, then, is it necessary, in the face of this large reduction of the public debt of Canada, tu obtain another loan in Great Britain /

The explanation is found in the follow- ing statement :

“On June 30th, 1889, the deposits in the Government Savings Banks amounted to $12,- 956,357 ; four months later they had fur- ther increased to nearly $44,000,000. Thena reduction in the rate of interest allowed on these moneys from 4 per cent. to{34 per cent. was made, in consequence of which deposit- ors’ balances have been drawn upon little by

litt'e, until at the close of last month they had dropped below $40,000,000.”

So that there has been withdrawn from the public exchequer, within the past year, about $4,000,000 in payment of the public debt due the people of Canada. The sur- plus of last year has gone to pay for per- manent public works in progress. Con- sequently, money is required—not to in- crease the amount of the present debt of of the country—the amount of the debt will not be enlarged—-but to replace that which has been withdrawn from the Savings Banks on account, principally of a reduc- tion in the rate of interest paid depositors.

ero OG Notes and Comments.

— An exchange in the United States says : **The Canadian Pacific will have three new fast steamers ready for the China route early next year, and these steamezs can put freight for the Canadian Pacific Company into Chicago, Boston and New York. from three to five days earlier than via San Fran- cisco.” It is evident to the outside world, at least, that Canada has not in recent years been merely ‘‘marking time.”

—The story that Gabriel Dumont is at the bettom of the excitement created among the Indians of the Canadian Nurth- west will need to be confirmed before it is generally accepted. Dumont has had some experience of the unpleasant consequences that follow an uprising against the law, and in his sober senses would not be likely to put himself in the way of having it repeat- ed. If he does it is safe to say that neither merey nor politics will save him.

—A medical correspondent of the Guar- dian warns nursing mothers against the use ef beer and spirits. He says: ‘* The mother’s bloud, practically, is entirely in common with that of the child. You know perfectly that if a mother takes even an ordinary dose of such a medicine as castor- oil, it will very often effect the baby more than it effects the mother; that one has to be exceedingly careful in prescribing for mothers simply on that ground. Now what does that simple fact with which all you mothers are familiar show ? Why, it shows this: that the soothed condition of the baby after the mother has taken half a pint beer, is really the first stage of drunken- ness in that child. When I hear a mother telling me that whenever she takes a little whiskey and water, or brandy and water, because the child is fractious, she finds that her milk agrees with it better, I am obliged to ask her if she knows what she is doing, if she knows that she is simply making herself the medium for distilling into her baby almost the whole of the spirit which she takes into her own; and whether she is aware that that soothed con- dition of the child is really the first stage of drunkenness. The fact is, the baby is

only the infinitely more sensitive extension of the mother’s system to receive the things

It is an indication he is the leader of a minority, and majority must rule, you know, repeat what I said in Boston ago.

Only Dillen and O'Connor, of the liish en- voys, are now in this country.

KILKENNY, Dec. 23 —It is admitted on all sides that the priestly besom swept Parnell clean out of Kilkenny, and that, despite the coarseness of its fibres, it has done the work uncommonly well.

Every priest in the district acted as an elec. tion agent, and could not have labored more energetically had his own bread and batter for the future depended on the success of the anti-Parnellite candidate.

The victors are greatly elated, but have thus far taken their triumph quietly. The night will probably tell a different story.

Botoene, Dec 24.—Justin McCarthy ar- rived here yesterday. Regarding the election in Kilkennv he said he believed the defeat of Scully would have the effect of disorganizing the oppcesition and would induce many waver- ers to come out against Parnell.

Dustin, Dec. 24.—The carriage of Arch- bishop Croke awaited Sir John Pope Hennes- sey at Thurles last night. The arrival of Sir John in town was the signal for rival demon- strations by the two factions.

Parnell, in an interview on the night of the Kilkenny election, said he hoped the bitter- ness of language that marked the contest would be forgotten, and, in fact, considering all things, he thought the battle had been fought with little ill-feeling on either side. Mr. Parnell said that his eyes were much better. He will not resume the campaign in Ireland until January.

Parnell starts for Paris to-night to meet William O'Brien,

Parts, Dec. 23—Mrs. O'Shea has been trying

to preserve her incognito since her ariival here, but the effort has not been very success- ful. Correspondents, reporters and artists with loaded Kodaks have been waiting and watching for her to make a public appearance. She declived to receive the representative of a French pictorial weekly, but he canght sight of her, and that was sufficient basis for along article reviewing her relations with Mr. Parnell, the divorcee proceedings and the complications arising from the will of her aunt Ettie. A lady friend who called upon her last night informs your correspondent that she is very reticent even to Ler most trusted ¢c- cquaintances. She is greatly annoyed at the publicity given her affairs, though she affirms she can afford to treat public opinion with contempt.

Concerning her relations with the great Home Ruler, she said she was proud to be loved by him; that he was nobler than any of his detractors and was in her eyes a national hero. She said she expected him ia Paris this week, when be wil! consult an eminent oculist as to the best treatment of the eye which was injured in I-eland last week. Her business here at this time, she claims, is not realiy in connection with Irish political affairs. She wants to secure a sufficient resi- dence in Parisian suburb for herself and children.

Lonpon, Dec. 23—H. M. S. Magnet has left Portsmouth for the coast of Galway. The Magnet is loaded with meal and potatoes and with a quantity of government stores of all descriptions. This cargo is one of a_ series sent and to be sent by the government to relieve the the destress of the famishing in- habitants of certain sections of Ireland.
