Ee RR SNe ae — ee * Opposition. Tue Dairy EXAMINER. NOVEMBER 27 [3s } Editorial Notes We clip to-day from the Winnipeg | Free Press a poem on ‘the Great Lone Laud,”’ by Mr. W. C. Harris, jr., lately | of this city. The poem was reprinted by the St. John TZeleq u h and highly commended. ~In eleven Ontario has con siderably more than doubled its yield of its staple articles of agricultural produce; and the yield is still years increasing, though to the Grit the farmers are, according organs, being ruined by the National Policy. —Advices from Dublin report that | widespread distress 1s feared Ireland i this winter. It is said that the districts most seriously affected are Sligo, Ba'lina. Swinford aud the greater portion of Galway. There is also much destitution in West Clare aod Counaught ~The Bank of Nova Scotia give notice in the Halifax papers that, pur-| suant to resolution, passed at a special general meeting of its Shareholders, it will apply to the Dominion Parliament for authority io amalgamate with the Union Bank of Prince Edward Island; also for authority to reduce the nominal value of its shares from two hundred to one hundred dollars, doubling the present number of shares. —Each of the European potentates, as he meets the representatives of his sub- jects, protests his pacific disposition and his ardent desire for peace If we could forget that they are all armed to the teeth, and are still arming, we might imagine that we have just entered upon the Peace Era. Better than their protestations would be the knowledge that their swords are being beaten into pruning hooks. —The Patriot works too hard to make Tue Examiner jeulous of the Herald. Our Iago is vot cunning enough by half. Newspaper men rarely know the secrets of Government; and even if the Herald is more iutimately connected with the Local Government than Tue EXAMINER, we shall not grow] about it. In our opinion a newspaper is better out of the control and confidence of politicians whether of the Government or of the The public interests are not likely to be promoted by a Press in the confidence of such a man as—Ex-Gover nor Laird, for instance. —The Globe congratulates Toronto on its rapid growth and prosperity, and says:—‘*The marvellous extension of population to the west and north-west which has takev place in the last few years is such as to rival the growth made by the most phenomenal of Western cities and to excite the most favourable aticipations for the future.” Nor is the Globe at all tearful, though the National Policy has beec endorsed ; for it declares that “there is every indication that the rate of progress of the past, great as it has been, will be far outstripped by the developements of the next decade.” — Referring to the Governor General's recent speech at Victoria (B. C.) the Loudon Times says “the tone of the speech is sanguine and op'imistic, be- traying uo sign of the existence of of the tension betweeu the eastern and western Provinces of the Dominion which a few years ego was one of the chief difficulties of Canadian statesmen. The Canadian Pacific Railway, then the stumbling block, is now apparen‘ly the powererful agevcy for uniou. The Times reviews the great natural resources of British Columbia, and savs it is im- possib!e to escape from a feeling of almost bewilderment at the thought of the future of North America. —The London Standard says that: ‘so heavy have been the marine insur- ance losses from which Llovds have suf- fered that as much as £750,000 has lately been paid by the underwriters there. Quite a number of them, says the Pall Mall Gazette, have withdrawn from busi- ness altogether; some perforce becanse their means were at an end, others, because they raw no ope of doing a more profitable business in the future, preferred to keep what was left of their fortunes. The competitition of the outside marine insurance companies is blamed for this state of things. They have knocked rates down, it is said, till it no longer pays to take risks.”’ A <A tp THE artificial flowers that adorn the bonnets of the women of the United States, cost more it is stated, than all that is paid for the sup- port of Christian missi ns. Alas for christian zeal! What about the expenditure for the same purpose in Canada, or New Brunswick ? What would be the result of an investivation as to expenditure in any church near home— your own for instance? Or, to bring the mat- ter down to the individual, are there not many Christian women who spend much more each year for artiticixl flowers than they give for the spread of the gospel which they say saves them ?— Leligious /ntelligancer. ~~.

Shortly after starting on board atrain his attention was drawn to some letters which he forgot to post.

We do not hold ourselves responsible for the } opinions or statements of our corresponile nts, Fire at Souris. — , : | T'o the Editor of the Examiner. Deak Sirx,—On Monday last as the gooe people of Souris were about to partake of their mid-day repast, the startling cry of fire was shouted in stentorian tones by a travelling agent of Aldermanic proportions who happened to be in town. At first the alarm was considered to be nothing more than a mere joke on the part of the humor- ous agent, as no signs of fire could be seen in any direction. In an instant, however, ‘all doubts were speedily dispelled, as dark volumns of smoke were seen to arise in the direction of Mr. Sullivan's residence. It was soon discovered that a building in that vicinity occupied by Mr. C. D. Anderson as a work shop—but more commonly known as the Grit headquarters of Souris—was on fire. It appears that Mr. Anderson had been at work in the shop that day, and had just gone to dinner, apprehending no danger from a trifling fire which he left in the stove. But, unhappily, through some defect or other, in the flue, the ceiling took fire, and in afew moments the whole build- ing was one seething sheet of flame. The good travelling agent was the first to dis- cover the fire, and promptly gave the alarm, but although a large number of people had quickly gathered on the spot, nothing could ve Gone to save the burning building. All efforts were therefore directed toward saving the adjoining houses, which, I am happy to say, were successful. Messrs. J. G,. Sterns, C. C. Carlton, jr., and Captaln Lavie well deserve the thanks of the com- munity for their heroic efforts on this vceasion in preventing the flames from spreading. Much sympathy is felt for Mr. Anderson, whose loss, | understand, is but partly covered byinsurance. As to the loss which the Grit party has sustained in being de- prived of their favorite head quarters, the sympathy is not quite so widespread. By that party, however, its many reminiscences will doubtless be long cherished. It was here in 1878 that the Montague Demosthenes, Manoah Rowe, delivered his memorable philippic against protection. It was here, also, that the gifted Malcolm give his learned disquisition on Cobden and the Corn Laws. It was here too, at a later date, that the ill-starred diciples of Esculapius immortalized themselves by their matchless oratory on the affairs of state. Anc last, though by no means least, it was here that the redoubtable Simon Grouchy, of local fame, uttered his scathing invective against the Government for substituting wire for board fencing. Alas ! how fleeting are the affairs of life ! In a word, Sic transit gloria mundi. Yours &c., OBSERVANDI. » Nov. 22, 1882. Souris, P. E. 1. - ee. SHow sHoEs just received by W.
