THE

LORD SALISBURYS GOVERN- MENT.

The New York$Tribune, in the course of a very thoughtful article, points out that both Germany and Ruasia have good grounds for protesting against the Rritich occupation of Wei-Hai- Wei, in as much as that strategic meve on the part of John Bull ha» completely checkasated both of them. ‘The Tribune says:

“Tbe stretegic importance of Wei-Hai- Wei has recently been explained in these columns. It i¢ a more commanding place

than Port Arthur, for it dom- inates the approach not only to Pekin, as the latter does, but also

the approach to Port Arthur iteelt. It commands not only the Gulf of Pe Cni Li, as does Port Arthur, but Corean Bay as well. It is, moreover, naturally fitted to becom? an impregnable fortress, a veri- table ‘Gibraltar ot the East, to use again a

much overworked phrase, British poseer=!

sion of it will be to Russia much what British poseession of Heligoland was to Germany, but rather more annoying and menaciag. All Ruseian commerce to and from Port Arthur and Talien Wan and al! Russian naval preparations there will henceforth pass under the very muzzles of Britich guns,

Not the least interesting and significant feature of the case is the part played by Japan. She holds Wei-Hai-Wei at pres- ent as surety for the Chinese war indemni- ty, and not long ago considered the desirability of taking permanent posses- sion of it. Now, however, she has said to have acquiesced in the British ‘lease’ of it. That indicates a close and friendly unuer- sanding between Japan and Grest Britain —a thing of hopeful omen for civilization in the Kast. It also indicates that Japan willdevote ber energies to strengthening her hold upon Corea, where Russia has fer the time given ber a clear field.”

The Tribune predicts that vow that Russia finds herselfso completely outgen- eraled in the Galf of Pe-Chi-Li, she will “again move upon Corea,” which is prob- able enough, but it is not so certain that she will be permitted to nominate the

kingdom. There is no doubt that she bas promised Japan net to interfere fur- ther in the affairs of G@orea, but to let Japan havea free

hand there; and while Japan is not yet reckoned among the Great Powers, ehe is not @ power that Russia wonld like to offend. If Russia is to be a Paciffc power Japan will be a neighbor that can do her a lot of injury. So after all the boasting there has been about Rusisa’s “master stroke” in the Kast, it appears that she has only acquired @ port that will be dominat~ ed by British guas, and give bonds to Japen to keep the peace towards Corea,

ESTEEMED EXCHANGES,

St. Jon Sunt Mr. Mulock proposes to impose portage on Canadian newspapers, while the same time American newspa~ pers will be carried free in Canada.

Farming: The hog will turn money faster for the farmer than any other ani- mal, and, perhaps, than any other thing he can put his hand to.

St, John Sun: For 8 man who preaches the evils of tariff tinkering and the benefits of a stable tariff, the Hamilton Spectator regards Mr. Fielding as an extraordinary performer.

Montreal Gazette : The number of penis tentiary inmates last year increased from 1,314, the record of 1896, to 1,353. “ihe topic uppermost” does not seem to be making the people good. The cost of management likewise increased,from $389,- 284 to $356,000. Free trade is not making us rich either,

Chatham Planet :—‘The Globe is either stupid or deceitful in attempting to con- vince anybody that popular feeling is going against the Senate because of the recent vote onthe Yukon bill. It is stupid if it does not perceive that the feeling is the very reverse of what it represente it to be, or it is deceitful if, perceiving the truth, it stil] goes on trying to mislead its reacs ers,

Farming: “In the estimates brought down by the Hon. Mr. Fielding at Ottawa last week, we notice that the appro-~ priation for arts, agriculture and statistics is reduced from $357,200 for 1897-98 to $332,000 for 1828-99, a decrease of over $25,000. Asthetbree items are lumped together, we are not prepared to state de-~ finitely how much this reduction affects the direct estimate for agriculture. It may be taken for granted, however, that the appropriations for arts pand statistics do not vary much from year to year and con- sequently the reduction is made largely in the estimates for agriculture.

“Tf this be true, the reduction is to be regretted. Canada’s great agrieultural resources are just beginning to be recogniz- ed abroad and any retrenchment of ex- penditure that would tend to hinder developing them to the greatest extent possible would be very unfortunate at this stage in our history. What we need for the next ten years is @ vigorous and pro- gressive agricultural policy. Agriculture has many and varied branches and not one of them should be allowed to retrograde in order to save the country a few thousand dollars.

—Commenting on tie recent Anglox Egyptian victory at Atbara, the Montreal Gazette says: There has been no mistake made from the beginning. Evidently con~ tigency seema to have been provided for forehand. There has been neither check nor rebuff. Msjor-General Kitchener, from a little known colonel detached from the regular army service, has risen to be recognized as one of the coming men, a credit to an arioy which has no lack of courageous, capabie and energetic generale,

NOTES.

The Easter services in both churches were well attended yesterday.

Rev. C. M. Jackson (Baptist) took tor his text in the morning lst Corinthians 15 chap. 17 verse. His subject was “The Resurrection of Christ.

In the evening he presched from Rev, Ist chap. and 18th verse, “J am he that liveth and was dead and behold I am alive forever more.”

The theme was Christ living. Both sermons were of a very high order. Specially selected Kaster music which in cluded the bymns ‘Christ Arose,” “I am he that liveth” and the anthem “Rejoice” was furnished by the choir.

Ia the Presbyterian Church Rev GC Robertson’s sermon was from Rey. Ist, aod parc of the 17 and 18 ver-es “Fear not Iam the First and the Last.” “I am He That Liveth etc.” The discourse was delivered in the rev gentleman’s usual, logical and impressive style.

Vavendish Literary Society had a very interesting programme on their last night of meeting. It was “newspaper night” and a collection of original ane selected articles wers read by the editor Mr. Simp son and others.

Centennial Division meets every two weeks and the meetings are quite interest- ing.

The temperance people here are much disappointed at the turn matters have taken with respect to the Plebiscite. They think the Dominion Government is favor~ ing the hquor interests in the matter.

Mr. Roger Simpson who has lately re- .urned from Boston, has rented the McLeod farm at Bay View for one year.

Miss Maggie Taylor, teacher, of Summer- side, spent her Waster holidays with her sister Mrs. George Simp-on.

Miss E. Janie Simpson of Ch’town, is visiting relatives at Bay View.

Bay View Mills underthe efficient management of Mr. Herbert Simpson, are doing a good business and giving every satisfaction to customers,

Our echool is progressing favorably, under the management of H.S. McLure.

THE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE.

Not Pleasing to the Senators.

Wasuincton, April 12.—The President’s message did not, after the first reading, receive the endorsement of a majority of the senators,and many excused themselves from epeaking about it until they could have time for a careful perusal. The general feeling was expressed by the state ment tbat the president had through his message weshed hie bards of the subject and iniposed the responsibility upon the shoulders of congress. In other high diplomatic quariers some question was expressed as to that portion of the

president’s message in which he speaks, in-

the name of civiliz-tion, of the duty of stopping the war in Cuba, and the intima- tion was made that the great powers of Europe, so far as they represented Civilization, did not support the view ex- pres+ed by the president. There has been no further general conference between the ambassadors and ministers of the powers, nor is there likely to be any further action from that quarter. No new diplomatiz phases of the question developed yesterday at the state department.

—The Huntingdou Gleaner thinks that by the killing of the Yukon bi!! this coun- trv has net only saved its lands but has inevitable large cash outlay. On the latter point there is some question. Report bas it that the aupp'ementary estimates will contain a vote for the benefit of Mr. Sifton’s favorite con- tractors and that Mr. Blair’s Drummond County coup with the Supply Bill will be repeated.

Liver Trouble

When the yellow flag of quarantine is hoisted over a dwelling it meansdisease and danger. So when the yellow flag flies in the face—when the cheek is sallow and the clear white of the eye is dyed saffron—there is danger. Jt is liver trouble. The liver is one of’ the most im- portant organs of the body. On the proper discharge of its functions depend human health and happiness. When the liver fails of its duty, poisons at once be- gin to generate, and other organs of the body become involved. Never neglect the liver if you value health.» If you are suffering from liver trouble, begin at

once the use of AYer’s Pitts and you will

find prompt relief and permanent cure.

“T was so weakened by liver trouble that Teould scarcely lift my head. While in this condition I began the use of Ayer’s Pills, and finding almost immediate benefit, continued their use until I was cured of

my complaint,”
