erS slopes SO Seubly
to the waters edge that at high tide the eme-
raid turf seems to hang over and INTO the
salt surf. All the commanding knobs on
each side are crowned with pretty residences,
over all is the deep blue sky, and theair is just
warm enough to be deliciously balmy.
When, therefore, the easy gliding steamer
moved out at p. N. over harbor SURFACE
! smooth and CLASSY as that of an unrutiied IN
| land lake we naturally anticipated "a love OF
| a ride" to Charlottetown. Down the haroor
the shores on both sides gradualiy lowered till
| they disappeared entirely and we were out
| in Northumberland straits, with the bold and
rocky shores of Cape Breton far to the east
And the wind was evidently rising.
We had splendid party aboard. There was
a little group of tourists from Massachusetts,
! who had just made the rounds Of Cape Bre-
ton island and were warm in their praise OF
! its scenery, its sea in the middle OF the lana,
| its curious narrow inlets, its picturesque
! shores, quaint old towns and their interest
ins provincial populations. There were
| few Prince Edwards Islanders going home
! from the Halifax midsummer carnival, smli-
ing gravely in the manner of the provincials
at Yankee opinions, but reserving their own.
! There were half a dozen Americans of the
west and south, at least one journalist, and.
of course, two OF three 'drummers."
And it was now evident that the wind was
blowing small gale; the spray dashed over
the bow, and we formed social party on
the after deck for jokes, laughter and poll
tics. First it was Canada VS.. the United
States, then Indiana VS.. Massachusetts,, North
| VS.. South and Democrat VS.. Republican. Our
spirits swelled high-there was unbounded
hilarity-we even essayed q little melody
life on the ocean wave, sing heigho, aloft
and allow, and all that sort of thing, while
every minute the waves mounted higher.

The Worlds Fair.

St. Louis is making most strenuous
and valiant effort to secure the holding
of the Worlds Fair at that city in 1892.
The authorities of the city guarantee y
fund of 81, OO0, 900, if it should be le-
Gated there. When we take into con-
sideration the scope and aim of the
Worlds Fair, the absolute necessity Tor
central location in order to meet the
demands of all sections of the country,
and to insure the national and financial
success of the enterprise, we are i'm
pressed by the peculiar advantages OF
the city of St. Louis. The position OF
the city is more central and more con-
venient for the great body of the people
than either New York, Washington or
Chicago. In commerce and character 1t
is representative of the great producing
States of the Interior, and it commands
the very best facilities for transporta-
ton from all points of the Continent.
1t is a fact based upon and demonstrated
by public statistics that larger popu'
lation and far greater mileage OF rail
road exist within circle of five hun
dred miles of ST. Louis than can be
found under the same conditions in con-
nection with any other city OF the
country. And, in addition, St. Louis
has the advantage of the Mississippi
and Missouri Rivers, and their vast
navigable tributaries. For the people OF
the country generally, st. Louis certain
ly appears the most suitable and con-
venient place for the Worlds Fair.
The committee of two hundred, OF
which Gov. ID. Il. Francis is chairman,
truly SAYS: DRAW circle of 500 miles
radius around St. Louis as Il center and
there are more than two and hall
times as many miles OF railroad within
that circle as within similar circle
drawn around New York as Il center,
and fifty per cen: more than In similar
circle drawn around Chicago! Between
twenty and thirty trunk lines converge
at St. Louis, placing it in direct railway
communication with every State and
Territory in the Union. Nearly 40O
trains now arrive and depart every day,
and more people can be brought to st,
Louis in a grven number of hours than
to any other city in America"

Sugar Trust and the Organiza-
ton.

Western Rural: The first of Deem
Der has been set as the date when we
shall stop the use of sugar for awhile,
say sixty or ninety days. 1t is needless
to say that the trust cannot stand it sixty
days or probably thirty. We are &C
customed to think that trusts are backed
by an immense amount of capital. and
they are. But it Is not true that they are
able to stand boycott, notwithstanding
they possess so much capital. Trusts
are composed of individual corpora
tons, some of them strong and some of
them weak When an industry is
trusted no new capital is put into the
business. 1t is true that the trusts
issues bonds and sells them, but that
money does not go into the several
branches of the business. 1t is pocketed
blythe managers of the trust, and prices
are put up so that they will provide
handsome dividends to the original
stockholders of the several plants that
have entered into the scheme, and also
furnish good dividends upon the stock
that the trust issues. Now if the public
refuses to buy the products of the trust
the individual corporations, in the very
large majority of instances, would be

the trust must collapse. We believe
that thirty days boycott of the sugar
trust, though one of the most powerful
in the land, would down it.
1t must be understood, however, that
it must be ageneral boycott, and in or
der to have it general we must induce all
the newspapers who dare, or have
enough principal to come on the side of
the people TO do SO, and the several
farmers organizations must take i'm
mediate steps to induce their members to-
cooperate. The Alliance, Grange, r.
M. b. a., the Laborers Union and the
Patrons of Industry should move AT
once in the matter Organization lis
just for such pIrp0ses. It is to enter
upon practical measures aud push them
at every opportunity.

ted with pretty white farm houses and inter-
laced by crystal streams. The tide was at
it's highest, and the mud fats and rocky
shores were concealed. SO 1t seemed that the
rank grass grew and the thrifty cattle grazed
even to the waters edge. And day or two
io8 rambling about the island only added to
the charm Of arst impressions; the contrast
bstween rocky Cape Breton's and pastoral
Prince Edwards as one sails by is more than
maintained by the fertile interior.
Prince Edwards Island is indeed the gem
! Of the North Atlantic. The smallest of the
!, Canadian provinces, 1t is q little more than
twice the size of the smallest Of the United
States, Rhode Island, and it has scarcely o.
rood of waste land. Earth, air and water
combine to make it a gem; the soil, of mixed
red sand and, black loan, can be fortified to
any degree and at trifing expense by the
unused mud, = of which every inlet contains
q deposit; The summer climate is delightful
and the winters are not very cold, while the
ocean on all sides abounds In fish. Drought
and destns live rains are alike unknown;
in conversation with, the farmers one hears
complaint only OF cold logs ana stne sleeD
OF early winter. The spring is delayed by
the ice, which piles upon the northern coast
and chokes Northumberland straits till It
forms a natural bridge, SO there is no growth
TILL the season Is so far advanced that frosts
are not feared.
Walking among the farms was often sur
prised at the rank growth of pea vines, like
q low topped Jungle, and was informed that
this island claims superiority over all other
places In that line; ssand as to potatoes" said
my informant, lazy people can plant 'eln
with board and dig 'em with their feet and
get q fair crop, the soil is so loose The
sisland also excels in live stock, and every far

Shall We Kill Them, or. Let:
Them LiVe?

We presume most of our readers are
familiar with the Webster woodchuck
story, 'Zeke had caught in q trap a
woodchuck that had been destroying a
patch of beans. Daniel said LET the
woodchuck go, he does more good than
harm on the place by eating worms and
various kinds of insects" but 'Zeke said
mo, I'm going to kill the thief" But
it was finally agreed that their father
should act as judge and the two boys,
Dan and 'Zeke, should argue the case be-
fore HIM, 'Zeke made his argument in
favor of killing the woodchuck and q
good one it was too, for Ezekiel was
brilliant boy and bebame a brilliant law
yer. Then Daniel, who in after years
yas-sat1ed the +God like, y made his
pea IN favor of sparing the life of the
woodchuck, and sor powerful was the
argument, that the judge instantly rem
de1ed his decision = in, these words:
"'Zeke, let That woodchuck 60"
The above story was called to mind by
reading the following in relation to the
prairic-squirrel: r
Mr.. C. P: Gillette. of the Iowa Elk
pertinent Station, safter-a study of the
food.hab;:se of the prairie:squirrel as
shown hy examining the contents OF
their stomachs, reaches the following
conclusions: Insects, almost exclusively
injurious species-chief among which
seem to be cut-worms, web-worms and
grasshoppers-constitute large proper
ton of the food of the "stripe squirrel u
They seem to prefer insects 10 grass,
clover and other green stuff.
It seems certain that the squirrels
must be decided benefit to lawns,
meadows and pastures. If ground con-
tanning cut-worms, web-worm and Wire
worms is to be turned over to corn, the
more squirrels that can be harbored up
on it, up to planting-time, the less will
the crop be damaged by these insects.
1t is question, all things considered,
whether they really do more harm than
good. Most of the harm is strikingly
noticeable and is of short duration,
while the good is perpetual, from spring
to fall, but it is no way noticeable and
cannot be estimated. ~

PARLIAMENT HOUSE, FREDERICTON, N. B.
l From rural jaunt returned in time to
call on the governor. The palace" is In
lovely grove in the suburbs Of Charlotte
town, on knoll overlooking the bay, and all
the surroundings are "quite English'-a
"lodge" at the front gate, with a nice old
woman in charge; heavily shaded avenue,
a broad hall with baronial appearance and
general air of solemn repose. But Lieutenant
Governor Macdonald is Scotch, and Gaelic
at that, though a native of the island, and
Premier Sullivan Is Irish-both Catholics.
Listening to Governor Macdonalds pleasant
talk about the United States was good
ssoutside view" to me. 1t was q striking
proof Of the truth that we of the United
States do not see ourselves as Others, and
very intelligent people, too, see US. Those
things which we would say ought to interest
our neighbors do not interest them at all, and
the dangers they see confronting us are the
dangers we seldom think of.
Governor Macdonald did not think it worth
while to ask me about the southern ques-
tom and the future of the negroes, or ''plu-
tocracy.n and tariff and trusts-not at all.
But he was very sure there is too much
unbelief and divorce in the United States, too
much demagoguery and too little Bible read
ing; that the ballot is too free and that there
is altogether too little condemnation of GER
tain secret societies. And although he is
perfect gentleman he conveyed very plainly
his opinion that if we did not stop educating
the head without equal culture of the moral
nature, and condoning such things as the
Cronin murder, the United States will ere
long find themselves in a bad way. And this
leads me to mention as worthy of note
the large number Of Irishmen who locate in
Canada and become ardent supporters OF the
Dominion government, intensely loyal, one
may say; Premier Sullivan for instance,
with whom had brief chat. And the la
mented Thomas Darcy MCGEE, who IS re-
garded as martyr to Canadian nationality
And, WHAT'S more to the purpose, the Irish
of Canada are not the annexationists; they
are perfectly content to remain British citi-
Gems. and as to holding office, they are just as
patriotic as the Irish in New York.
The population of the United States has in
creased, possibly, twenty-five fold since the
