THE CZAR’S APPEAL.

} 1 | | By ani he E ; $y no means unanimous are the Kuro-~ | pean nations on the subject of the Czars

universal peace proposition. It is admitt-

ed that the idea is good; but itis fe.t that | Nicholas has bis own reasons for promul- | gating it. In many quarters the point is made that | S!a wants to disarm other |

| countries that it may the more easily pros: s cute its steady and stealthy aggrersions in the east. And certainly the diplomacy of the Great Northern Empire does lena force to this suspicion. Russia is a giant in enterprise, and its development partakes wuch of the character of acquisilion from other and weaker nations. In the course of a century it has by the quick process of annexation extended its intiueace over the northern halves of two continents. At the present moment it is still pushing onward —down towards Turkey, down towards India, down towards China. It seems to be repeating the old history of the descent ¢ f | the northern hordes. Nor is its civil:zation

such as can be welcomed by other nations. | A despotism, although in some respects humane, it contradicts ail the received opinions touching individual liberty and constitutional freedom. Where Britain goes she gives free government and opens territories to universal trade. Where Rus- sia goes she plants her peculiar system, and excludes the commerce of other *0uu- It is this latter feature of Russian

tries. policy that is the kernel of the Chinese question. It is known that Russian influ-

ence wherever paramount in the Chinese empire means the closing of the door against Great Britain and all other natione. Obviously, then, before a bargain can be reached looking to disarmament, or to the reduction of the standing forces, there muet be an underatanding touching the relative nositions of all the now peacefully contending powers, both in Europe and in Asia. Russia must siop just where she is. She must agree to abandon her well understood policy. But the question arises as tothe guarantee that will render such an agreement final. Spanish and Ameri- can jurists met at Lisbou in 1888, and resolved thatit was indispensable that a tribunal of arbitration should settle all issues, aodthus avoid war. Ten years later Spain and the United States were ix armed conflict. Arbitration was out of the question. Yet ageneral agreement might render subject tv chastisemevt any two nations which fought instead of sub- mitting to arbitration. But this would look very much like war. The peace movement, however, is noble in itself. No less than $1,000,000,000 a yesr, is spent in preparatione for war in Europe, The armies now stand at the following figures:

BLAKE AND PROHIBITION.

Sir,—Some few years ago a large and representative delegation of temperance workers requested the Hon. Edward Blake, then Premier of Canada, to intro- duce a probibition bill into the House, at Ottawa. His reply will be of interest at the presenttime. I clip the following from the Montreal Witness: At Aylmer, Mr. Biake made a speech in which he dealt with the prohibition-questiok. He maintainod that the country was not ripe for a prohibitory liquor law, and distinctly refused to take it up as a party question. But while he thus expressed his convictions, he deciared him- se!f strongly in favor of temperance legis~

lation in harmony with the popular will, but not such as would become a dead letter through not having the support of public ep >nien, which alone gives vitality to the law. Argument and ex ample heheld to be the great means for bringing about the desired reform No repressive legislation, he sai¢, can be pro- fitable or paramount unless there exists a widely diffased and very st‘ong feeling and earnest public opinion atits back. That such dees not as yet exist he is fully con- vinced.

Therefore, he declared that he could not honestly vote for prohibition now, and could give no pledge for such a vote at aoy future time. The Bangor Daily Com- mercial of the 30th Sept., 1894, contains ap account of the union thankegiving ser~ vice held in Bangor City Hall, on the pre- vious day, from which i take $the follow-

ing extract: Rev. Edward McSweeney was the last speaker. In the course of his remarks, referring to the

prohibitory law, Father McSweeney said that it was vot enforcéd because, lacking the support of public opinion and sympa- thy, it was impotent and impracticable. Tkere could be no dispute on that point, as

the plain facts were too well kaown. The speaker did not call for the organization of public

support of the law, because the practical results of the attempts at enforcement had always been unsatisfactory. One other extract and I think any reasonable person will be convinced that Mr. Biake was right.

Special despatch to the Boston Herald: Waterville, Maine, March 22nd,1897: At the big mass meeting la3t night the Mayor said probibition in the cities of Maine bad proved an utter failure, om

CANADIAN CHEESE.

The Market Holds Its Own on an

Eight-cent Basis. Monrreat, Sept. 1.—Steady to firm about ¢ Xx preases the con lition of the

| cheese market at present, There is little vale on spot for fancy cheese, as most of this is grabbed up in the country at prices

which place it out of reach bere for anything less than 8gv. For shoice western colored 8c. was paid this morn.ng, and 8ic. for white. Sales of Quebec were also made it 7ic., and Monday’s wharf market resulted im the sale of 8.000 boxes at Tic. to Tic, a very large part of them ac the latter price. The public cable

s uuchenged, but private cables offered 39s for Quebec, and 41s 6d. for westero cheese, which wll probably result in busi- ness, if shipping terms are satisfactory.

Western colored, therefore, is quotable on a basis of Shc to 8jc, with white a shade lower, and Quebec colored at 7 7-8c to8 1-8c. The market is now particular-~ ly active, as holders are firm on prices. The receipts today were 10,493 boxes of cheese, and 368 boxes of butter,

A CHECK FOR SIR LOUIS.

Mr Farquharson’s career as leader of the Prince Kdward Isiand government has begun inauspiciously. The appoint- mentofiMr. Warburton to office left vacant pot only the premiership but also the re- presentation of the first district of Queens. Mr Warburton, though a non-resident, was elected last year by a vote of 915 ‘to 569, which was #ratoer handsome majority for a small district. Five years ago Mr, War. burtcn was elected over Mr, Campbell, end on that occasion the vote was $20 to 784, giving a Ssubs antial liberal mejority thovgh not so large as Mr. Warburton ob- tained last year. The election of this week restores Mr. Campbell to the assembly. The vote is 692 to 617 and as this is a by~ election, the specia) votes, which last year numbered 46, will not cut much figure. It is explained by the liberal press that the vote was a light one, but it will be noticed that the lightness is al, on the govern- ment side. The liberal conservative candix date got 140 more votes than the candi- date of the party polled ia the same dis- trict last year, Omitting special votes on both oceasions. the election of this old conservative standard bearer and former provincia! minister looks rather omnious for Mr. Farqubarson under present cir- cumstances. The opposition voter on Prince Edward Island does not have the protec~ tion of the ballot, and it is as much a: the place of a federal office holder or emplove is worth for him to poll a vote against Sir Louis Davies or bis Cirsrlottetown lieuten- tenant. But the farmers who form the bulk of the people in the first district of Queens have not the fear of federal and provincial ministers before their eyes.— St. John Sun.

Opposed to Reciprocity.

Buebec, Sept. 1.—Today the Under States commissiovuers spent four listening to deputations from the other side of the border, representing the lumber, paper and fishing intereste. Ail declared that they wanted nochange in the relations with Canada. The only exception wat a delegation from the Boston Chamber of Commerce which was in favor of free trade relations. Senator Warner Miller . represented the interests of the pulp indue-~ try. He claimed that if the duty on Can-~ adian paper was reduced the United States manufacturers might as well go out of business. The lumbermen from both the eastand west objected to the admission of Canadian lumber, and the fishing industry also want matters to remain as they are. Said one of the Gloucester representatives : “If Canadian fish entera the United States free, we might as well get out of busi- nese,”
