EDITORIAL NOTES.

Perhaps the opinion of London
Life is the right one, when it says,
I" If Lord Wolseley failed in his mis-
sion to relieve Gordon because of
being sent out too late,' he is more
to be sympathized with than
blamed.'
England has had a good deal of
agitation for "peasant proprietary"
of late years. Yet in Colchester
county, lately, thirty-eight small
plots of land were offered for sale
on very favorable terms, twenty per-
cent down and the balance extend
ing over four years, and not a bid
was offered. Perhaps the peasants
did not have the twenty percent, but
a London paper seems to regard the
incident as proof that g Hodge," as
the farmer is called there, "regards
land as a doubtful investment just
nova conclusion," it adds, every
creditable to Hodges intelligence" :"
The strange suit was prosecuted
against the Glasgow Mail lately, of
damages for refusing to print, at the
order Of one Alexander Robinson,
an affidavit accusing a judge of GER
tain improper acts in his official capa-
city. Regarding the case, an Eng
lish paper says: "The action was
dismissed, apparently merely on the
ground that Il newspaper could not
be compelled to insert anything
against its wish. The extreme od-
dity of the notion that man might
have a right to force a journal to
commit gross libel and contempt
of court does not seem to have
struck the Caledonian iusticer =
and people still say that the Scotch
have no sense of humor.'
There is no room for the colder
civilization to ridicule the remnant
of feudalism in the Hawaiian Islands,
when we find that a breeze lately
occurred in Scotland over the claim
to an ancient clan chieftancy. With.
out particulars, reference is made in
an English paper to the fact that
"quite recently" the Duke of Rich.

necessary to have that enactment. 1t is,
moreover, not al enactment
it exists not only in Denmark, but no
doubt in almost all civilized countries,
and it is necessary from the point that IA
whole community shall not suffer for the
sake of one individual. If a person at
tackled with an infectious disease can give
guarantee that he can keep himself so
that there can be no fear Of Infection
spreading from him, then the rule WILL not
be applicable to him but if he cannot,
then he must submit to it. But there is
one point more he would propose to be
added in the Regulations, namely that it
shall be incumbent on Inhabitants in :Own
and county to report without delay all
cases of epidemic diseases occurring Ii
stands to reason that the rule will only
come in force when all epidemic prevails,
and not in every trivial case of sickness.
An enactment to that effect is very impor-
.tant, and omissions of report have caused
at times great evils. In the United States,
a land as free as most lands, n,glectS of
reporting such cases are punished by fines
up to 800 dollars or even imprisonment for
80 days; all PEI sons to whose knowledge
the presence Of a case Of infectious disease
comes, are bound to report, such as hotel
keepers and the like. He would in conclu-
sion repeat his recommendation of this

An unusual fall of rain for this time of
the year took place yesterday afternoon.
In ChriStiansted the wind was observed to
go gradually round from south to West,
when the fall commenced, and on the wind
again veering to north east became very
heavy. The fall as measured at the Fort

also heavy in st. Thomas. This rain was
much wanted both for the fields and for the
cisterns in town and has therefore been as
welcome as it was unexpected.

Newspapers OF To-Day.

People generally, and even those
who may he termed steady readers
and close observers, have but faint
conception of the magnitude and in-
aucncc the press OF the country has
attained. From caleiul eXamina-
tion of the advance pages of the
1885 edition of the American News
paper Directory, issued May lst, by
Geo. p. Rowell Il Co, of New York,
it appears that there are II, l47
newspapers and periodicals publish
ed in the United States and Canada:
of these the United States has II,
973, an average Of one paper fol
every 1867 persons. In 1884 the
total number of newspapers was
less by. S23 than at present, and
while the gain this year is not 81
marked as in some previous years,
is still considerable. Kansas shows
the greatest increase, the number
beng IS, while Illinois follows with
a gain Of II. 1t is curious to notice
that New York, the scene Of 50
much political activity during The
last campaign, should have only
about onc-third as many new papers
as the State Of Pennsylvania. As
an index to the comparative growth
and prosperity of different sections
Of The country, especially the Ter,

forms an interesting study, and
