SAN FRANCISCO'S LOUD • San Francisco is struggling a great diffieulty at present, that is, how to retain the t which foreign competition is r ing it of. Recently the Chat of Commerce m that city nie discuss means of averting the aster with which the busines that part is threatened, The of this meeting complained "the avowed purpose of our ne bors is to destroy the wes commerce of the United Stat in matter of fact, to wipe Francisco, commercially speak out of existence. To attain end a mail steamship line has ready been established from terminus of the Canadian Pa railroad to Japan and China ; ot lines are projected to New Z land and Australia, via the H ailau Islands, Samoa and Fiji, also Panama, via Mexican Central America ports, connect with England's steamship lines the west coast of South Ameri via the straits of Magellen. Th steamship routes will be covered large an rapid vessels, useful purposes of war and liberally co pensated for the carriage of oce mails." To overcome these impendi evils it was resolved to petiti Congress for the abrogation of t fourth clause of the Intersta Commerce law against discrimin tions ; that the American tran continental lines to be otherwi protected by legislation, and th American steamship lines in ti Pacific be liberally subsidize According to some persons Canad isn't ot much account, and her onl salvation is to throw in her lot wit the Republic, but when one of th chief cities uf the sixty milli() squeals in this way, it is convinc ing evidence that Canada ha something to live for yet. It i not probable that the cry of th San Francisco Chamber of Corn merce for legislation will result i recovering from the C. P. R. trad it has won. Besides, opposed t the San Francisco body is th Boston Chamber of Commerce which holds that the C. P. R. which connects Boston with the west should not be interfered with, and cannot be without doing great damage, to Boston s trade, which New York is anxious to seize if possible. Congress has been very chary of its grants to steamship lines in the past, and there is no reason to suppose that it will be more liberal with them in the future. Fate or luck has been against American lines to such an extent that England and Canada monopolizes the American carry- ing trade, and it would require a lavish expenditure of money to win it back again, if it were possi- ble to do so. Vancouver and Victoria will build. themselves at San Francisco's expense. That's what they are there for, and the C. P. R. and the Englisn capitalists who will interest themselves in the -tearnship lines may be depended upon to give liberal aid to that end. And when the United States fall to pieces from internal discord who can say that we will not be able to add both Boston and San Francisco to the new map of Can- ada which will be got out about that time. with and rade obb- nber t to dis s of call that igh- tern es - San ing, this al - the cific her ea- aw, ad and ing on ca, ese by for in - an og on he te a- s - se at 1e d. a • Justice is swift -fearfully swift - in England. Mrs. Maybrick, con- victed but a few days ago of poisoning her husband, has been condemned to hang on the 2oth of the present month, The haste to hang the poor unfortunate, even if guilty, appears almost inhuman. Public feeling is profoundly touch- ed by the spectacle of a young, brilliant, educated woman going to the scaffold. It appears from various accounts received through this district that the wheat yield has not been so large as was anticipated from the appearance of the crop before it was threshed. There was plenty of straw, but in the early part of the season it was struck by rust. This plant parasite feeds on the tissues and sap of the wheat pla.nt, and prevents the head or kernal from properly Mling out. Hence a great deal of the fields made a poor return to the acre, and this of a poor qualify. The yields have o. been all the way from xo to 3o • bushels to the Acre, Awl these haye been in certaia cases op eori- tiguous farms. Wrrft our issue of last week, the Tiiugs •entered upon ito x7th year of existence. It was established when Exeter was •a very small place, almost surrounded by bush, by its present proprietors, and has, like its adopted town, made steady and •substantial progress. The Timus has always been fearless in sentiment, especially in the pro. motion of any scheme conceded to be for the beneat of Exeter; and as openly expressive in its opposition to projects considered detrimental ,to the town. We have pursued a course, in the town's interests, consistent with economy and pro- pagation, and if Exeter's growth is not what some people think it should be, the TIMES iS 110t at fault. VVe have always, aimed at moulding an honest sentiment. We might also add that our sue - cess has been gra.tifying which is in a great measure due to the liber- al support accorded our subservient efforts in assisting to make Exeter what it is to day -one of the most prosperous and most substantial tcrtyns in Ontario; and tor which we return thanks to our many pat- rons. THE struggle against the dom ation of the French-Canad nationalism appears to have beg in earnest. In Ontario we h Mr. Dalton McCarthy sornewh timidly declaring that at the ne session of parliament he will int duce a resolution to do away w the French as an official language the northwest territories. In Mai toba we see the Liberal Gover men t putting to shame the Liber Govetnment of Outatio and a flouncing that they will at the ne session of the legislature, put quietus upon the krench ls.ngua as an official language in that pro yince. in no other country o earth is so strange an anomaly t be seen as the printing of all docu ments in two languages. one them the language of a foreig nation. Canada must be eithe French or Anglo-Saxon in the end and the sooner the English -speak ing people set about clearing ou the French language as au officia one for good, the better will thei chances be of keepiog the country which Wolfe died to conquer o the Plains of Abraham. If the French-Canadians are truly loya to the institutions of the countr and mean to observe the spirit o the treaty entered into at the con quest they should see that they are asking for privileges to which, as citizens of an English country, they are not entitled. The time has now come for them to decide what they shall be -English or French. That the situation in Manitoba is serious there is no doubt, as Mr. Prendergrast, the French member of the cabinet, has resigned his portfolio as a protest against the programme of 'Premier Greenway, an indication that he at least con- siders that he should first be loyal to French nationalism, afterwards, if he has any of the quality to spare, to Canadian interest. Can. adians who, living in a fools para- dise, believed two nationalities, speaking different languages having different ends in view, could con- tinue loyal to the same ila,g under all circumstances, have awakened to a realization that a great deal of the work done in the past must speedily be undone, or the country will fall again into the hands of the French-Canadian nationality who have planned to bring about such a result. in-- ian un ave at xt ro- ith in n- al xt a ge • of r, 1 1 y A projected canal across tee upper part of Italy, connecting from the Adriatic to the Mediterraneanwould take six years to build and cost $125,000,000, The will of the late Chas.

An event that has been anticipated for sonae time in Clinton, in which both contracting parties occupy a high sOcIal status, and which was observed with becoming eclat, was the marriage on Friday morning of Mr. Fred T.
