NOTES AND COMMENTS,

—lIt is reported that the Canadian Par- liament will rise about Juve 10th.

—'Lhe idea propagated by the Pioneer that “the Domin.on Government intend building cold storage warehouses at Char- lottetown” eic, is erroneous. Our con- temporary ought to have accepted Tue EXAMINER'S report.

—It is announced that all measures relating tothe frarcchise, #*uperannuation and plebiscite will be dropped for this session. A contemporary well remarks that those who said that the tariffand the estimates would. make enough work for the session best gauged the capacity of the ministers.

~ The closing of the Canadian Tobacco Woriis ofour philantropbist, Mr. W. C. McDonald, of Montreal, will be regretted by everyone. Even those who don’t like tobacco will regret that profits which have been applied to the development of our greatest educational institution will pow go to some outsider in the States or Eng- land; and those who use the weed cannot but feel badly over the enhanced price con- sequent upon @ reduced home supply and less competition.

—I[o the eourse of his sermon on last Sunday evening, according to the Times, Rev. J. M. Robinson, of Moncton, re- ferred to the new Canadian tariff, which, he eaid, would have the effect of shutting out more or less the best lite ature and music which we needed in our homes and churches. This was a featureofthe new tariff which was not desirable in the in- terests of those who desire the best litera- ture. He referred to one book in particu- lar, which under the old tariff coat $2.50 but for which they would now have to pay $5.00 and he had been tuld would be in- ereased to $6.00. }He hoped that there would be a readjustnx nt of the tariff inthis respect and the goed literature snd music aliowed to come in under more favorable conditions than the undesirable article.

—The Papal delegate who came to Canada at the prayer of Messrs Laurier and Company objects to being made a tool of the Liberal politicals. It appears that Senator Pelletier, in his desire to help his party’s candidates in the Quebec election wired to Sir Henri Joly de Lotibiniere that the papal delegate affiirmed that he had never approved of the mande- ment condemning the school settlemen',and to Mr. Jules Tessier that His Excellency did not approve of anyone being forbidden to vote either for one candiaqate or the other. Mgr. del Val’s stecretary writes that His Excellency does noth 11 himself responsible for the sentiments attributed to him by the Senator, and that when he nas anything to communicate to the pub- hic he will do so over his own signature. The papal delegate is not,therefore,belping apy party in the provincial contest, either oy what he says or does not say. His letter indicates, however, that he is likely to have his own opinion as to some Canadians’ public methods.

Montreal Gazette: A good many papers are rejoicing over the abolition of specific duties in the Fielding tariff. Inthe 420 odd items inthe schedules, about 140 provide for specific duties, including a good many where both a specific and an ad valorem duty are imposed on the same article. The Fielding effort gets most praise from those who never read it.

Montreal Gazette: The failure of the U.S. Senate to ratify the arbitration treaty appears, from what mem bers say, to have been due to a fear that Great Britain would in some way or other get the best of the arrangement. They do not seem to have in reality that confidence in their all-fired amartness that their usual tone of con- terapt for British rulers and British diplo- matists would imply.”

Moptreal Gazette: The letting of con- tracts for the reconstruction of the Victoria Bridge would indicate that, though the Government has not much to tell Parlia— ment about the scheme for bringing Inter- colonial trains to Montreal, it has had considerable to eay in other quarters. Railroad men are not the chaps to under- take a million dollar job without knowing where the million dollars is coming from,

Edbam Pasha, besides being a good general, appears to be a modest one, Lis despatches to his superiors announciug a victory of his troops are far less bombasiic than those of the Greek commanders inti- mating that they had been thrashed again. Io many ways this war is a hauwitliauen to Greece.

The C. P R. bas issued a circular nam- ing a special tariff of 30 cents per 100 Lbs, on grain, flour, oatmeal, mill-tuff, flax seed, oil cake and potatoes, in sacks or barrels in carload lots, from Fort William via Canadian Pucific steam-hip line and Owen Sound, tothe following p!aces in New Brunswick: McAdam Junction, St. Jobn, Fredericton, Carieton, and points common therewith.

Mrs. Timms, ef East Toronto, has taken outa summons against ber husband for assault under novel circumstances. She says that she was reading and explaining a portion of the Bible to her children, when her husband told her to desist. Upon her refusing to do so he dragged ber down into the cellar and flogged her severely and lett her locked up in the cellar. Her screams attracted the attention of a passing police- man, and she was released.

It has been intimated in the Imperial Parliament that the Government is consi- dering the situation created by the Canad- ian double tariff proposals and the claims of Germany, France and Belgium to the same treatment as is accorded to ffreat Britain. When a decision is arrived at and accepted by the various countries concerned, Canadians and Canadian mer- chants will begin to have an idea of what the tariff they ¢o business under realiy is.

Far from diminishing the consumption of l'quor, the government monopoly of spirits io Russia seems vastly to have increased drunkenness among the subjects of the Czar. For, whereas formerly the authorities frowned upon the dramshops and favored the establishment of tea drinking establishments, the contrary is now the case, since it has now Leen found that the popularity and vogue of the tea shops affect injuriously the revenues de- rived by the state from its monopoly of the sale of spirits.

Large quantities of Manitoba flour have been shipped during the last few months to Australia. A Victoria, B. C., paper! of recent date notes that large shipments are going forward via Hong Kong, this roundabout ruute being the only Canadian one available that couid handle the large quantity offered. The Winnipeg [ree Press now announces that a shipment of severa! carloads is to be made to South Africa. It goes from the Keewatin mills, and wil] be sent via New York.

Probably from no fault of his own Mr. Devlin’s appointment as immigration agent in Ireland is not likely to result in many immigrants coming to Canada. The Dublin Nation’s warning against him and his work has already been referred to. The Wexford People, another Nationalist organ, is even more severe. _Its columns contain an attack on Mr. Devlin, both as an individual and as an Official, and strongly advising Iriehmen.o keep away from Canada. Canada, evidently, is not in favor with some of the Irish news- papers.

In the year 1895 the total exports of merchandise from the United States was $87,538,175, of which Britain bought $387,125,458, and her dependencies and colonies $195,382,576, or a total of $492,- 508,034. Sixty per cent., therefore, of the exports of the United States are purchased by the people of the British Empire. Of the $387,125,458 worth of products which are taken by the United Kingdom, practi- cally the whole enters British markets without paying a dollar in imposts of any kind.

Government railways, etc, amounts to alk w. $7.25 a head, In Great Britain the figure is $13 a head. If Cavada had Great Brtain’s rate of taxation, instead of a revenue of $36,000,- 000 or $37,000,000, she-would have receipts of $65,600,000, and could satisfy then those chaps who are hunting Mr. Lautier witlr demand for $58,060,000 in aid of their schemes,

number of presents in her time, but the most remarkable of all ,perbape,was that of £215,000 (one million and Freventy-five

thousand dollars) which she received under the will of James Camden Nield, whodied at Chelsea in August. 1852. Nield was a miser who never spent a penny that. could be avoided. On one

occasion be was an outside pas-enger by a stage coach, and his poverty-stricken appearance was such that his fellow travellers at the stopp ng piace sent aronnd the hat to pay for his refreshments, and their chari:y was accapted by him with- outcompunction. He left the whole of his personal estate, atter payment of some

emall legacies, to Queen Victoria, for her own private use and advantage. ‘ihe next

most valuable gift was that made to Her Majesty on the cccasion of her jubilee, by the women of the British Empire, who presented her with £34,116 contributed by 3,162,256 women resident in all parte of the empire. Ten thousand pound- of the sum provided a statue of the late Princ Consort, erected in Windsor Great Park and the balance was transferred to the Nursing Imetitute.

F. H. Thompson, an electrical engineer, has just returned to New York from Cuba, where le resided for sevén years. While in Cuba Mr. Thompson was manager of the Havana Gas and Electric Light Co., a corporation controlled by representative Spaniards, and located at San Antonia de los Barrus, a town 21 miles from Havana, and in the centre of the active operations of the insurgent forces h the province of Havana. Mr. Thompsén says that Weyler has not pacified the province of Hayana, and that he does not care tv terminate the rebellion for the reason that his captain generalship yields too.large an income. In this respect, Mc. Tuompson says, other officers of the Spavish army are fully in accord with Weyler’s policy. “I presume that there is no government in the world, civilized or barbarous,” said Mr. Thomp- son yesterday, “that is being so openly robbed by its army officers and other officials as fp.in, asd while Spain is thoroughly cugnizant of tae methods em- ployed by the Spanish representatives in Cuba she is at a loss to remedy the thing. The robbing of the government is not con- fined to the army. Corruption exists to as great an exteat, perhaps greater, in the customs service.”

—Mr.R. L. Richardson, M. P., for Lis- gar, wires his paper, the Winnipeg Tribune that Premier Greenway, who is now at Ottawa, bas a big railway deal on with the New York capi‘alists which, if carried out will mean wore to Manitoba and tue west than free trade and all other concessions combined. He is negotiating, Mr Richard- son procee ls, for the constructién of an air line to Duluth on such terms as if adopted will bring joy to the hearts of Mani- tobans, For a gua:aitee by the province of the railway bonds, the total amount of the interests on which will not exceed a lunired tho.sind dollars annually, the agreement is tu construct and operate a line to Duluth and guarantee a maximum rate of ten cents per hundred pound, not per bushel. This rate is from Brandon aud even points to Duluth. There is to be a reduction of $1.30 per ton in coal and a reduction of 25 peMcent, on all in- coming treights. The immense. advant- ages of competition to Daiuth even Fort William is that cheaper freights are avail- abie from tbat port,as scores of boats drawing twenty feet ply there. When the Parry Sound railway is completed, it is alded, as it will be this summer, there will be complete competition with the C. P.
