A HELPING HAND,
Recently n meeting was held in
London of the English shareholders
of the Union I.ife Assurance Go. of
Canada when a resolution was pass-
ed appealing to the Government of
Canada to hold an inquiry into the
management and causes of the fall-
iire of the concern.
From the remarks of the chairman
of the meeting it appears the repre-
sentations made to the subscribers
of the company’s capital were of a
character that should have warned
them against giving their money to
the promoters. Looseness in man-
agement and administration was evi-
dent nll along the line. The direct-
ors failed to show capacity in safe-
guarding the shareholders’ interests,
and collapse came. lu this the Gov-
ernment had no concern. If the law
were broken in any respect the share-
holders had their own remedy-and
it is here the English shareholders
are at sea. They do not know to
what extent, if any, the directors
and promoters are liable. In pass-
ing the resolution they were under
n. misapprehension regarding the op-
eration of the Federal law here. The
Government under law has consider-
able power over the operations of in-
surance companies, as of banks; but
it is for the protection of the pub-
lic. While a companyshows that it
is able to meet its liabilities as they
become due, the Government has no
reason to interfere. When the policy
holders' interests are threatened ac-
tion becomes imperative. It was tak-
en in the case of the Union Assur-
ance Company.
The company had no fewer than
150,000 policy holders in Canada, and
these had their interests safeguarded
hy the action of the Minister of
Finance in the spring, when he made
an arrangement with the Metropoli-
tan Life of New York to allow all
policy holders to re-insure with that
company so that not u dollar was
lost.
Mr. White has now, though it was
not incumbent upon him, acted upon
the resolution of shareholders and
appointed Mr. G. T. Clarkson liqui-
dator to make a thorough inquiry
into the affairs of the company with
u view to finding out how the assets
of the company were dissipated.
Such an action is not necessarily
within the functions ol the Minister
of Finance, and his readiness to com-
ply with the wishes of the unfortu-
nutc shareholders will make a good
impression upon the British financial
world.
FOX Rl O ZSTRATION.
In a letter in The Guardian yester-
day, Mr. B. I. Ilaynor, one of the Is-
lun1i's Original fox kings, gives some
illuminating advice with reforenco to
imported foxes which, at this stage
of the fox industry, it would be well
to make a note of. ' `
We commend his letter to all fox-
men, present and prospective.
The l'rincc Edward Island Silver
Fox Breeders Association, realizing
the danger to the fox industry on
account of mixed and indiscriminate
importation, is at present grappling
with the problem of registration in
order to eliminate this danger and
set the business on it firm and pe,-_
munent basis. The undertaking is u
worthy one. If successful and prii-
dently snd honestly carried out it
will mean the pernianantrstabllsh-
ment of one of the greatest indust-
ries in the world; if it fails, 1( the
business is permitted to go on us at
present it will mean that those who
have invested or shall invest in the
fox business are taking a gambicrg
chance, which may mean either a for-
tune or ruin. It will mean also that
the confidence of foreign investors
will he forfeited and that the for
business can never develop into uny-
give the purchaser an absolute ss-
suraace that his purchase would pro-
duce valuahle fur bearing silver foxes
impossible. It would appear also
place, that any basis of registration
so far proposed would exclude foxes
their purity as silvers while also giv-
ing every indication of fur value. It
would be obrectionubls in that
ivc.
The object of registration is to en
able the purchaser of foxes to kno
difinltely what he is purchasing. Thi
is absolutely necessary to 'guard s
gninst fraud and imposition. Buc
a safeguard could be provided b
known, of the fox which it would b

choice.

to the great hymn, "Nearer My God,
to Thee,” The first stanza of this
hymn reads thusz-
"-IGHUS. my Lord, my God,
Redeemer hlssiz;
Who saved me by Thy blood,
And gave me rest,
I lift my heart to Thee,
That I may nearer be,
l.ord Jesus, nearer Yrhee,
Still nearer Thee."
Dr. Rand will also be remembered
as the translator into Latin of Top-
lady's great hmyn, “Rock of Ages,"
giving n rendering 'which the Right
Hon. William E. G-1adstous_was quick
to declare the best translation extant
oi that great hmyn into the Latin
language.
It may not be worth while to give
specimens of Dr. Rand‘s Micmac
hymns, as probably few of our read-
ers could appreciate them.
We now reach the' name of a living
writer of hymns, William Edgar En-
msn, a native of Charlottetown. He
has written about one hundred hy-
mns, the most of them for, "red let-
ter and black letter saints’ days."
Three of these hymns have found
their way into the "Book of Com-
mon Praise,” (Anglican). The one

(5) IN CONCLUSION.
one is amazed to find how littls is
really known.
The farmer has, at least, anelem
entary knowledge of the sclentifii
principles which govern the growing
the rotation, the selection, the sow
ing and reaping of the crops; tht
l
prices; the professions are all school
cd in thc arts in which they are in-
ness. I-he knows that in certain seas
ons some varieties of fish are abund
ant or the reverse, that, occasionali
ly, out ofthe mysterious ocean r
school of mackerel or cod or herring
comes suddenly within range of his
nets or his trawls and that they ar
suddenly disappear. He knows vag-
uely that their movements are gov-
erned by the quest of food, by the
pursuit of enemies or by the need o'
a different temperature. As to what
food they seek, when or why a dif-
ferent temperature is desired, what
constitutes their food, how the food
supply might be governed or his fish-
ing operations helped or hindered, hi
knows absolutely nothing.
In Richmond Bay, the Islsnd'f
richest fish field and a place of phen-
omenal richness, questions arlse con-
tinually which present knowledge ii

swered would undoubtedly revolu-
tlnnize the fisheries in that field and
around the province.

There is no doubt that in Rich-
mond Bay alone there are resources
of lncalculable value of which llfaflti'
cally nothing is known. Developed
intelligently thesii resources would
yield enormous revenues yearly and
would afford a living to many who
are now obliged to seek it in other
provinces and other countries.
True conservation implies an intel-
ligent knowledge of conditions and
this, is wanting as far as the fisher-
ies are concerned. The government
would be justified in making n most
generous appropriation with the ob-
iect of conserving this mine of il-
limitnhlc wealth, now enexplored
and threatened with extinction.
REGISTRATION OF I
SILVER FOXES.
Sir:-Four meetings of representa-
tive foxmen have been held and the
question of registration of foxes is
not much nearer solution than at the
beginning.
While it is true that the pioneers
in the industi'y have kept a record' of
their experience iu private nerd-
'books and that this might be taken
as s basis of registration, so far as
pure breeds . ares concerned, yet the
great expansion of the lndustry, the
heavy importation of foxes, good,
/bad and iudlderent, and the large in-
vestment of moncy in these imported
foxes, or in crosses between them
and our own native Island stock,
would make the establishment of a
general registration from the pion-
eer stock an injustice to many ln-
,vastors, whose stock would be ex-
cluded from registration. I doubt,
moreover, -whether the legislature
would give us an act of incorpora-
tion that. would so seriously inter-
_fere with vested interests.
Too regid lines of registration
should not be adopted at the he~
ginning. I do not think we should
insist on pure breeds at the start.
We should simply be satisfied, with u
registry of silver foxes irrespective
of quality.
The more I think of it, the more f
ani satisfied that, say, till the first
of May next, we should be satisfied
with the facts,-affirmed by oath, con-
.cerning all silver ‘ foxes on Prince
Edward Island. These _facts would
include place of origin, name of ow-
ner, and where known. date of births,
sire and dam, price of peltrlss of nn-
cestors, reoundlty of females and of
certainty of chance visitation and be'
