We have no doubt that Mr. Peters was surprised when he Jearned vbat his obedient followers in the late Legislature were to be confronted by men of the country—men ofthe highest character and intelligence who are widely known for their practical ability and who are familiar with the wants and interests of tbe people whose candidates they are. These men did not seek the nomination. The nomivation sought them. Their personal interests Cd not lie in the direction of politics, Itistotheir credit that they responded promptly to thecall of their eountry and placed themselves in the van of the People’s Party. Judging by the spirit displayed at the conventions held yesterday, and by the high class of farmers and business men who composed those conventions, we believe that the couatry is aroused and fully determined to rid itself of the Peters Administration. The campaign will be short and sharp. We sincerely hope that it will not be marred by personal acrimony and that the issue between Mr. Peters aad his Partisans and the People will be fairly fought out.

CANADA'S JUBILEE SOLDIERS.

What One of Them has to Say of Their Reception:

A member of the Halifax contingent - of

the Cauadian jubilee regimen‘, writes from |

London tothe Halifax Chronicle as fol- lows:—

Lonpon, June 18.--The Canadian Jubi- lee contingent arrived in Liverpool at 3 p-m. Monday 14th, wind, weather and sea during the voyage having combined to make all happy.

Our men were much admired by the Koglish and American passengers. We

had ou board Britons from Australia, New Zealand, India, Hong Kong, Jay an, Samoa, Cavada and the Un:ted States, all going to -wel] the crowa at Her Majesty’s jubilee. And many were the amusing Comments to which I listened. An English orange grower from Florida said to me: “I think you Canadians are making a great mistake in not sending Over some of your volun- teer militia. I see these are all regular troops,” When informed that outside of the N. W. M. P. there were only 20 regu- lars in the lot, aud Canadian regulars at that, he was fora moment struck dumb, but rallied to remark that he had noticed some of the men who excelled the others ia physique, set up, ete, and thought that he could easily pick out the regulars. His tailnre to do so opened his eyes to the fact that Canadian militia need no more than one week’s work under good instructors to turnthem into first-class soldiers. “Ah here now, that dark-faced rifleman stan- ding on that hatch there, he’s certainly a regular.” “ No, that’s Private Simard. 9th Voltigeurs de Quebee. Can’t speak a word of Eaglish.” ‘Well, thes, that tall, handsome sergeant of hussars?” “No; Ser- geant Collins, Kings Canadian, Hussars, Kentville, N.5,” and so on a dozen times with the same result. ‘*But scme of them are wearing medals: they must be regulars,

“Oh, no, those are Northwest medals, 1885, | Niger, Zapsticks from Cyprus, Dyaks from

a little war of our own.” This finished him. Here is another point of view. A vretty Swedish girl in the steerage, when asked her opinion of the soldiers, replied, *“Well I think they are pretty fresh.’

At Liverpool, where we bad expected a reception, bands, etc., there were none to meet us, but an exitable monocled adjutant of volunteers, andgLieut,V iscouut Kilcour- cie’ of the Grenadier Guards, who has been in Canadaas A.D.C., and knew many of our officers personally. So little enthu- siasm was displayed by the onlookers that you correspondent felt disappointed, but he soon Jearned the cause. The iden- tity of our uniforms with those of army, and the soldierly way in which they disemba:ked made every one think they were regular troops, and the ordinary Tommy, unless going to the wars, is not anything to enthrse over in England. Anu old gentlemen at the docks told me he

was much disappointed. as he would never |

have omedown to the docks to see us, had he not heard we were Canadsan volun- teer militia. When informed that we were, he all but refused to believe me. Another assured me he had never seen voiunteers or militia in England to com- pa.e with us. baggage, a spccial train vesiibule dining cars, etc., took vs in four hours to London, 218 miles, where we pulled into Euston station at about 10,30 p.m. As we poured out on the platform remarks were heard among the crowd of disgusted on- looks such as ‘’Ow, them ain’t no bloomin’

volunteers, them’s hall Tommies.” Oo’d a come hall this way to loox at a lot wv’ bloomin Tommies.”— but Major

General Hervert who has command of all the celonial contingents, with some other officers of the Guards met, us here and delighted all the officers by show img a dis- tinct reco:'ection of all he had met in Can- ada, calling most by their nam:s,and greet- iug them with a hearty handshake.

We were promptly marched off, headed by three bands, fifes and drums, pipes and drums and bugles and drums; and tramp- ed five miles through cheering and en- thusiastic crowds to Chelsea. barracks, where we arrives about 1] .30, only to find that arrangements for our reception were unpleasantly incomplete, no one seeming to know exactly what to do with us. Final- ly after a couple of hours delay the men went under canvass on the barrack square. The executive officers were quartered in huts in the square and the “camp follow ers” mostly colonels, were sent to the Buckingham Palace hotel, getting very comfortable quarters at the expense of tbe imperial government, messing either at the colonial contingents mess, Chelsea bar- racks, or at the hotel as they see fit.

What struck me as the strangest thing was that all of the men seem to speak English, and will, too. I addressed a bulky, strong, black, grinn- ing Haussa from the Geli Coast, who was sporting his gaudy zouave uniform with great satisfaction to himself thus: “Can you speak English ?” when, with a surpris- ed air, he said: “Why, what do you take me take me for, bet your bleomin’ head I do.” After afew minutes conversation he said, “Well. sir, I must be going, ta, ta,” with a regular Preston grin and an airy wave of the band.
