Notes and Comments.

The Week says:—'‘Since Sir _ John Thompson's accession to the C sbinet he has earned for himself an enviable reputation as a lover of fair play.”

~The Toronto Globe reports that ‘‘it 1s the general opinion in business circles now that the autumn trade wiil be a prosperous one, and a more cheerful feeling is manttest hoth among city and country traders. Still the N. P. and the McKinley tariff are in operatic n !

_The belief in alcohol as a source cf in- spiration has so declined of late years that people will receive without surprise Al- phonse Daudet’s declaration that drink makes him incapable of writing or conceiv- ing a line, The general belief is that it creates a feeling of strength, physical and intellectual, which on trial is found to be delusive. Thus it is said that Wilkie Col- lins once drank wine pretty freely and found himself in a splendid mood for work. He sat down and wrote for several hours, carefully put the precious manuscript away and went to bed. In the morning he read what he had written, found it pure rubbish snd threw it into the fire.

-Lady Macdonald and Mr. Hugh John Macdonald, M. P. for Winnipeg, request us to say that the advertiseme:t of Lieut. Colonel James Pennington McPherson's biography of Sir John Macdonald, contain statements which are entirely incorrect. The book has no sanction nor approval, vor has the writer had any information, assiet- aace or encouragement from either of them, nor is he in possession ofany of the late Sie John Maecdonald’s papers, documents ur private opinions. They further desire to state that the authorization and collabora- tion announced in these advertisements as

having been given by Sir Jonn re this work, amounted to, as they were tuld by Sir John himself, nothing more thana

bare acquiescence in its preparation. Such acquiescence jt was Sir John’s custom to accord to all proposed biographies of him- self, on the distinct unders‘anding that by so doing he did not in any way imply ap- proval, or even knowledge of their contents.

— Referring to the Tarte-McGreevy inves- tigation, the St. John Sun says: ‘The enquiry will go on until the whole truth is brought to light of day. Such journals as the St. John Telegraph and Halif«x Chron- icle may garble evidence by striking out testimouy referring to McGreevy’s contri- butions to -Mercier’s election funds, but the facts are goingto count all the same. The report that a suggestion had been made that the investigation might be closed by the resignation of Thomas Me- Greevy has some foundation in tact. It is understood that an arrangement of this sort would have satisfied the original pro- moters of the prosecution, snd probably it might not be unwelcome to Thomas Me- Greevy. While the opposition manage- ment desire to make capital agwinst the (rovernment without compromising their own party, both of which objects might be served by ending the thing where it is now, the country has a right to de. mand that the whole series of transactions involved in the McGreevy charges be probed to the bottom, no matter what im- portant persons are implicated. This de- sire the Government and Parliament have uodertaken to satisfy, and it is not now in the power of interested parties to stop the investigation.

Experimental Farm Crops.

Itis reported by Professor Saunders that more than 300 acres of land are now under crop at the Central Farm, including wheat, 20 acres; barley,45; oats, 90; rye. 15; peas, 20; corn, 20; mixed grain, 55; roots, 16; potatoes, 5; and meadow 49. In -ad- dition to 181 varieties of named cereals now growing on this land, there are 69 varieties of corn, 27 of peas, 21 of beans, 111 of nayed potatoes, and 153 varieties of seed- ling potatoes—264 in all. There are also “8 varieties of turnips, 14 of mangels, 24 of carrots, and 13 of sugar beets. These facts will enable our readers te form some idea of the extent of the experimental work going on. Notes are taken of all these varieties as to their earliness, productive- ness, etc., and these notesarecompared at the close of the season. From the information thus gathered a tolerably accurate opinion can be formed as to how far they are likely to be useful to the farmers residing in the different provinces of this country.

Hanpsome Yacut.~-The steam yacht Sagamore, Capt. C. W. Scott, of Norwich, Conn., put in here last evening for pro- visions and sailed again this morning. The Sagamore is 370 tons, and is brigantine- rigged. Her appointments are elegant.

Dairy InpROVEMENT.—Professor John Robertson, Superintendent of the Dairy Department of the Ottawa Experimental Farm, since his arrival at the Hotel Davies by the mail express on|Monday evening last, has arranged to be at Cornwall this day (Wednesday) with the butter and cheese makers of that vicinity, and will address a meeting of farmers there this evening. He will be with the New Perth farmers on Friday next, and at the Vernon River Hall on Saturday, and on Monday at Hunter

‘iver and other points west in the interest of the dairy industry. The professor is a thoroughty practical man, and we feel sure that his visit will be productive of good re- sults to our farmers.

Hon. Arthur Brand, membereelect of the British Parliament for the North of Wisbech division ot Cambridgeshire, has been sung into Parliament by his wife. The latter accompanied him on his stumping tour and between the speeches favored the audience with vocal solos.

Mr. William Tweedy, who is spending & well-earned holiday in the ural districts, has been making some remarkable catches of trout, iceordiog to his own words he sur- prised a school of tish at Vernon River a day or two age, and after considerable angling succeeded in landing so ne very fine ones, 91x of which weighed eighteen pounds, This was, no doubt, @ fine sample. Mr. Tweedy was in town last night replenishing his fiehing outfit and purchasing more flies and tackle.

What Dees it mean?

Sin,—About a week ago all the fish- wardens inthis part of the Island were notitied that their services had been dis- pensed with, in a cordance with an order in council, passed notlong since. I[ pre- su ne wardens in other parts of the Prov- ince have received similar notices. Lob- ster fishiag is still going on, and thec untry is full of sports, some of whom will be only too glad to have the privilege of netting trout without let or hindrance. If wardens were required before now, they are cer- tainly needed at this season of the year more than at any othertime. The Marine and Fisheries Departments have done some very eXtraordinary things in their time, and this latest is one of their strang- est freaks. What doe# it mean, anyway / CONSERVATIVE.

Business Epucation recommended by the Legislative Council: —We, the under- signed, have much pleasure in adding our testimony to the efticiency of the course of instruction given at the Charlottetown Business College and Writing Academy, of Charlottetown, P E Island, presided over by Principal L B Miller. We strongly recommend this institution to young men and women, convinced that a thorough practical business education is essentially necessary in almost every walk in life. In this progressive age a know- ledge of business, the science of accounts, penmanship, shorthand and _— type- writing places the possessor in an independ- ent position. As these subjects are suc- cessfully taught at the Charlottetown Business College and Writing Academy, we therefcre give to it our cordial support.

ZeRA SeMon.—How is it done, Mr. Ed. Barnstead, manager for Zera Semon, to @ tepresentative of THe EAAMINER in response to the question of how it was possible to give such a number of really useful, ex- pensive presents, and a really pleasing show at a reasonable price. Well you see we believe in giving people their money's worth tm every respect and put a show on the stage instead of on pper, as is too often the Case now a day, and then we buy our goods at wholesale tor cash, and play four nights in each place. This reduces expenses somewhat and the attendance usually increases during ounstay, as many who come expecting to be humbugged the first night, are s» well pl cased they become my best advertisin mediums. The show busincss is governed by the same laws which regulite comme: ce and business laws in general, and the legitim- ate way is to give the public their money's worth, and even more than is advertised, as it pays in the end. I believe wholesome amuse ment to be a publie necessity and Mr. Semoun takes great pains to make his entertainment instructive aod amusing, while refined in char- acter, omitting all objectionable features, as a

ge share of our patronage comes from ladies ns children. On Monday even-

A member of one Maine firm that handles 37 millions of spruce this season, says:—‘‘For the next ten years the bulk of the spruce timber in Maine will be made into pulp. Spruce makes tougher paper than poplar and we have lots of it growing in the state. Yes, pulp will be the leading product of Maine for the next ten years,”

Russia’s present policy is that of purging the realm of all elements that are nut Rus- sian. It is not only Russia for the Rus- sians, but Russia for no one but the Rus- sians. Poles, Germans, natives of Little Russia, Caucasins, Jews and Finns have all in turn felt the effect of this fanaticism [t is called ‘‘nationalizing,” and the Finus are the latest victims. The most recent act is the abrogation of the ‘‘Committee for Finnish Affairs,” a body of four Finns who were to guard the liberties and rights of Finland against the central government, A journey was undertaken by the Czar and the Czsrina immediately after, through the Finnish provinces, and they were re- ceived very cooly. But, what do they care / _ The Shah cf Persia is reported seriously ill, and should he die a good ruler will be lost to that country. A recent article in a foreign review gives an account of the Government of Nars-ud-Din Shah, “the Sun of Persia,” which might fill the breast of a Torontonian or a Chicagoan with envy. Before his time the capital of the country, Teheran, had 100,000 inhabitants and no prospect of a boom ahead, It has now 30,009 of a population, magnificent public | buildings, residences, parks, walks sud drives. The army isa model military institution. Railways, the telegraph, banks the postal service, tramways, gas and other of European features flourish where they
