STATESMEN’S AGES.

The newly formed ministry of France is commented upon by the Parisian press as “the old ministry.” It is so spoken of

because its members are nearly all ovenence sc Seve" that in is reported he sixty years of age. This is about the avc\'~

ministers were about 65 years.

At the same time or rather etollowing

the discussion in the French press, Eng- lish newspapers are discussing the ages of the political rulers of Great Britain. Somebody started the theory that a dead

are three above sixty but net one attained to the Scriptural three score and ten. The average age is MU'-eight which

approach in this to the standard of the present Canadian Cabinet, whose average an is nity-seven and a hall years.Premier Laurier is sixty-one, and four others, Hon. R. W. Scott, Sir Richard Cartwrlght,Hon. William Paterson and Hon. Mr. Bernier

are beyound the line of sixty, Mr. Scott

being seventy-seven and Sir Richard ten years his junior.

It may be remarked that nearly all the

Premiers of the Dominion held that

position at a good old age. Sir John Macdonald was seventy-six years old when no area ro ofnoo. sir John Abbott

was seventy years old when he succeeded to the Premiership. Sir John Thompson,

the youngest of Canadian Premiers, was forty-nine when he died. Sir Mackenzie

Bowell was seventy-three years old when he retired lu 1896, to be succeeded by Sir ,Charles Tupper, then aged seventy-tive. Alexander Mackenzie, when he last held

the Premiership in 1878 was about fifty-

seven years of age. The average of these ` ages of six Premiers oi Canada was sixty- seven years. Oi course there are many other factors besides age to be taken into consideration, but it may be mentioned in closinlr that bir Oliver Mowat became

Premier of Ontario at fifty-two years of age in 1872, held that position twenty-four years, and is still doing em(-ient public service as Lieutenant Governor of Ontario

at the ripe age of eighty-two years.

was tried for treasonably selling to Ger- many the plans of Russian fortidcations, confessed his crime and received ia sent

The announcement islmade that if all

goes well King Edward will be crowned at some date in August next, with some-

thing less of outside display than was drst intended. It is doubtless by the

Kiug’s own desire that as early a. date as is practicable is to be fixed for his oificial

installation. Mor-t earnestly will all his

comm in this ‘oisy ro september next- The writer on a recent trip tbrccllll Westmorland, King's, and St. John, met with many inquiries in renard to the coming Fair, from stockmen, farmers and

4 others.

Il Some former exhibitors and visitors Iremarked upon the excellence of Exhi- bitions they had seen here, and their desire to come again, while a considerable number who had not yet visited thc Island announced the intention of making a first visit this year when the Exhibition

w ould be on. We met nota few inquires as to the extent of hotel accommodation, and what th e chances would be of secur- ing comfortable lodgings at such a time. One progress ive farmer and patron ofa cheese factory not far from Sussex said, “I am coming to your exhibition this fall

‘ I.want to find out how it is that your

(people can make cheese that will command half a cent per pound more than ours.”

The list of prospective visitors might be

extended, but without saying more we conclude that there is every prospect of n larger attendance from the Province of New Brunswick this year than ever before. We also learn, on enquiry of Secretary Smallwood that he is in reeelpt of inquiries from prospective exhibitors from many sections of the Maritime Provinces which give evidence of more

than |_oz-dinary interest in the coming event. In faint-, if favored -with good weather there is every prospect of an excellent disp‘ay.aud a. very large _attend- ance at the Exhibition to be held here in
