THE QUEEN was, it was generally understood, much Opposed to accept- ing Mr. Gladstone as her adviser. t was said that he was not in the habit of deterring;r enough to her per- sonal. feelings and opinions upon mat ters of State to please her. When finally induced to accept him, it will he remembered that Her Majesty did so very graciously indeed. Since, it has been averred from time to time, that Mr. Gladstone was ingratiating himself, by his carriage toward the Queen, in his high office very thor- oughly, and that their “relations,” so to speak, “were extremely cor- dial.” Her extreme solicitude dur- ing his late illness made at the time a great impressmn. Now it is stated that, at the express wish of Mr. Gladstone, the Queen will open Parâ€" liarnent in person. The Liberals do not generally seek to strenghten their hands in any way in this direction, their political strength being more dependent upon popularity among the masses. '1 here can be no doubt however, that Mr. Gladstone has ' ‘ ing this prooi‘of mix in sex THE latest “ ring ” formed at the expense of the consumers under the fraud-protecting influence of the N. P., is a ring of coal oil manufactu- rers. The gentlemen have already advanced the price of‘coal 011 to 30 cents wholesale, and 40 cents retail. What with the increased cost of stoves and coal the peOple will have abundant opportunity for reflecting, during the long winter evenings, upon the days when coal was admit- ted free, and coal oil 20 cents per gallon retail. In those practical ex- periences of everyday life, people will soon be able to realize to their sorrow what the N. P. really means. â€"Emami12er. QUEEN VICTORIA narrowly escap- ed an accident during her recent journey to Balmoral. At a station called Solihull, not far from Birmingr ham, a signal-man was overtaken by violent hemorrhage, which so weakened him as to incapacitate him from attending to his duties. The poor fellow, however, had pre- ysence 0t mind enough to place his lamp on the line with the danger color facing the engine, the driver 0t which was thus warned to reduce the speed of the train. The'signal- man was afterwards lound lying ex- hausted near his post. THE “ HUM.â€"â€"-â€"In the Belleville Council the other day, Ald. Petrie’ who is a Conservative, and voted for the N. P., declared that the popula- tion had fallen off so much that it would not exceed nine thousand, Another alderman stated that all the mechanics and laborers got lower wages than formerly. How is that for the N.P. Pâ€"Markham Economist. THERE is no denying that the coal- tax and the duty on sugar are two intolerable nuisances, and the sooner they are removed the sooner will the opposition ofa good many working people to the National Policy come to an end.â€"â€"Toronto Telegramfi 7 The Evening World is making rapid strides to the front ranks of Journal- ism.

NOTES AND COMMENTS. ween the Since our last Issue, verylittle has been learned concerning the condiâ€" tions upon which the Pacific Rail- way is to be built, and there has, as yet, been nothing definite announc- ed concerning an early meeting of Parliament. Numerous rumors of various characters have been set afloat; but these are scarcely to be relied upon. Some of them state that the whole negotiations: have mysteriously collapsed, while others state that ti’ * Construction of some ‘9" Nu ml"? ‘ ' '7 ‘ Him 1' x Grip was unusually good last week. Among other things he has a car- toon entitled “ Hitting the wrong party.” It represents the investiga- tion of the Pacific Railway Commis- sion, which was largely instigated by Sir Charles Tupper, as resulting differently to what was expected. Sir Charles is represented as hold- ing 2i long cord, to which is attach- ed an immense thorn ball, with which it is intended to strike Hon. Alexander McKenzie, but which, when thrown, strikes Sir Charles a tremendous blow on the head, while Hon. Alex. stands there in bold de- fiance, holding up the records of the investigation to the public, which causes Sir Charles to wince beneath the exposure. SIR JOHN MCDONALD came home from England with a handsome lit- tle present i 1 his pocxet for Hon.Hec toIELangevin. “bir”lâ€"lector was qmte pleased when he was presented with the handsome little handle for his name, which is becoming so fashion- able now. We Congratulate him on his Knighthood. If we can raiSe sev- enty-five cents by the time Sir john has another errand to England, we propose sending for one by him, as he can get them cheaper than any person else. THE Pfl CIFIC RflIL W'fl Y1 THE Montreal Herald says :â€"“Oh, Sir Leonard Tilley only made a few good-natured remarks to the propri- etors of the brewery at Halifax, and only said he hoped that, if people would drink beer, they would drink ‘ that of the N. P. qualityâ€"good or bad, we suppose. That is the revis ed Conservative versxon of the 'Min- ister’s wishing God-speed to the makers of what, a'l‘a tee-total meet- ing, he would call liquid damnation. Only think 0t such an explanation. Good-natured remarks, quotha, to the concoctors of perdition to thou- sands, according to Sir Leonard's theories when on the platform 1 Ap- ply that to the dealers in other at d more undoubted wicxedness. and see how it would look for Sir Leon- ard to say, in a goodâ€"natured way, that he hoped, it people would be immoral, they would spend the mon-. ey on national establishments !' of”? Vice, and that the panders to the sin-F could find that, under his fostering care, all the mischief was done, and the profit made by those who han- dle the native article. What ideas of morality and consistency Conser- vative journalism breeds ?” ‘The fact is that, in all the Ameri- can citles, from the Atlantic to Lake Michigan, Canadians form a large proportion of the population, and in the Far West and on the other side of the Rockies they are plentiful.â€" “ People in the United States are not in the habit oflooking to Canada for immigrants, and it is probably a matter of surprise to many readers that in June last more than twelve thousand Canadians sought homes in this country; that the average immigration I from that country is about seventy thousand a year, and that Ireland and Germany rank‘but little ahead of Canada in the numeri- cal proportion of our population fur- nished by them." THE Chicago Christian Instructor thus refers to the exodus that all wellâ€"informed people know is in pro- gress from Canada to the United States :â€" As We look across the eastern sky it does not require the aid of either a mi. proscope or a telescope to discern tneap- pearauce of a. war-cloud above the horizon and it has already become larger than a. man’s hand. The storm has been brew- ing for some time and when it does burst forth, we may expect a storm such as Europe has not witnessed for some time. Turkey has been a thorn in Eu~ rope’s side and especially England’s, for many years, and it would seem now that her end is approaching rapidly. She has virtually defied all Europe to enforce the conditions of the Berlin Treaty, and there she stands, alone shall we say ; nay not alone, for we are of the firm conviction that there is a. mighty power, not openly, but secretly, encouraging her in her de- fiant course, and that power is none other than Russia. There appears to be some underhanded intriguing on the part of Russia to fan the flame, having, no doubt, important selfish ends in View in doing so. If the matter comes to an amicable settlement, it will not be Russia’s fault. And while the powers seem to have a de- sire to bring the thing to an amicable conclusion. and the Emperor William, to whom the Ports looks for advice, has ad- vised a compliance, yet, should it be ac- complished, for the present, it can only be a temporary thing, for the doom of Turkey is sealed. She must be annihi- hilated, and while there are many difii- culties which would undoubtedly arise in the division of territory, yet these dif- ficulties must be faced sometime. and the sooner it is an accomplished fact the bet- ter. At the present, the question is " Is the Sultan going to triumph over .Eu- rope or is Europe going to triumph over the Sultan ’1” One or the other must yield ; and the position the Sultan is taking seems to manifest a. determination that, if he has got to yield,it will only be with a struggle, and if Turkey has got to fall, it will he in the face of all Europe. There seems to arise a grave dfliculty, however, in the annihilation of Turkey, and that is the strong Mahommedzm ele- ment by which she and many of the surâ€" rounding countries are linked together, and a great deal of caution will have to be exercised on the part of the powers in the event of an interference. And should England have to draw on Canada for men, which she would probably have to do, as she would then have her hands more than full, it is hard to tell what stand the Unit- ed States would take in the matter. l"‘r~.-,r.> the present so ‘7 iiii‘flsre. P. V ,. l p... L that our Local Government had de- clined to ratify the eight thousand dollars per mile, which was to have been given towards its construction» There are many others of a like na- ture, which we regard it as unwise to give too much credence to, until i there is more reliable information. There is too much of a tendency on the part of opposition journals to take up every rumor that may be set afloat before there is any certainty that it has any foundation. This 15 an unwise policy, wherever it may manifest itself. We do not believe in giving credence to every rumor that may reach our ears, 'nor yec that may appear in print; but when a thing becomes a certainty is the tlme to speak out boldly. And when we say boldly, we do not mean going to extremes, nor with a mani- festation of prejudice or bigotry; but, after careful deliberation and thought, and arriving at a definite conclusion, guided by the standard of right and wrong, or by matured judgment, in cases where the ques- tion of right and wrong is not in- volved, and it is a mere matter of opinion, express that conviction in firm, unwavering, yet unprejudlced sentiments. Now, in the matter of submitting the terms of the agree- ment, as arrived at by Sir john and his colleagues, to the people before going before Parliament with them, it is a decided wrong to the people who, by their vote, placed him in the high position of trust which he oc« cupies, and they will not easily for- get acts of despotism when they are again called upon. to exercise their franchise. The people are begin- ning to look at the matter as a seri- ous injustice, individually and naâ€" tionally, and they cannot be censur- ed for speaking out veryemphatical- 1y through the press. They are be- ginning to think that there is some thing about it that will not bear the light; for if ll were all that Sirjohn stated at Montreal, the sooner it was made manifest the better it would be for himself, and they all know that Sir John is not. the man that, when 'he has done any great thing that would call forth applause, and raise him in the estimation of the public, to keep it back longer than it‘is im- possible to avoid, With this know- ledge, we do not wonder that many intelligent persons are beginning to regard the whole scheme as a grand fiasco; ' ' fl DARK CLOUD GflTH- ERIJVG.
