THE WARM SEPTEMBER,
The unusually warm September just
past was fortunate fur the Canadian
farmer because a the threatening vent

Europe. The Etueipeme eituatioa, in-
deed,i said to be numb werse an more
alarming than had been supposekespec-
ially in Russia. An iniportent article in
the American Agriculturist says thathe
clanger of feraine will probably spare
Europe the ravage e of war for a year at
least. Even if Canada and the United
States can exhort 225,000,000
there, will be a deficit of nearly as much
nwre, with a possibility that it may be
twice ae great.
In any event there seem to be a pros -
pt of great suffering in Europe, be-
eause. besides the want cf grain, there is
almost a total failure of the potato in
Ireland, and a very serious reduction, of
the crop cet the Contieent. There was

August, .amewiting to four times the

bushel of wheat is now worth fully one
dollar on the farm where it is grown.
Eastern Germany and. Inv'e parts of
Riessia are already prectically stricken
with fainite, and have been eo for some
months. In Russia the exportation of
cereals is forbidden. The altuation is so
serious that it must necessarily sheet
military and political plans, for the usual
reserves of food supply are exhausted.

NOTES AND (.10MMENTS.
If Premier Abbott should in the re-
construetion of his cabinet get rid of all
upon whom suspicion has fallen, there
would be no reason why he should be
turned out of power. He seems disposed
with Sir John Thompson to have a clean
handed cabinet, or quit office.

DEATH OF PARNELL.
Charles Stewart Parnell, the noted
Irish leader died suddenly en Tuesday
ereuing, Oatober Oth, at his house in
Brighton. It has been known that Mr.
Parnell had not enjoyed the best of
health for years past, and it bas been
noticed that since the O'Shea divorce
While the immigration to Canada from
foreign lands eon tinues to be numerically
small, it is a satisfaction to know that
the immigrants who prefer to stay in
Canada are of the best class that crosses
the water. And this is better than
big rush of the mixed or poorer element.
There will ere long be a decided. boom
of this kind for Canada. When the
people of the old world become fairly
alive to the productive capacity and nat-
ural wealth of the Northweet, these
lamb will be in lerge request. Mean-
while the pick of the people who come
in as strangers get the pick of the lands
thee are open for settlement, It is as -
mired that the best class will be at the
front. That such a boom is inevitable
must he apparent from the mad desire
shown among the frontierrnen limo the
border to pones the Indian lands es
they are thrown open for settlement.
tit
.Events such as the Battle of the
Queenston Heights should be duly hon-
ored by every Canadian ,• but we are
sorry to say such is not theme. Queen-
ston Heighta and other Canadian memor-
able victories are allowed to pass without
even the slightest notice or display of
petriotism. The only reason that, can
be assigned, for this neglect is that in
former days the school books that were
placed in our publk schools were of
Yankee production, and such events as
the battle of Queenston Heights, were
designedly omitted ; while en the other
band every battle fought, in which the
Yankees were victorious, mention of
their military men was brought out
prominently, especially the troops led by
Washington. The Toronto School Board
this year commemorated the event by a
fitting celebration, and they deserve the
praises of all patriotic citizens for their
etforte in thus stitnulating the young
mind to a true spirit of patriotism. It
is time there was a change; this lack of
national spirit by Canadians is deplor-
able. Let there be infused a spirit of
vigorous Canadianism in tho schools, and
if nothing else, cause our national flag to
be hoisted over the school buildings on
all memorable occasions.
developn ents became a public notoriety,
and since political troubles crime upon
him' that he had grown thinner and
thathe had aged in appeerance, but no-
body expected to hear of his death. He
died at his home, Walesingham terrace,
Brighton, at 11.30. His death is said to
be indirectly due to a chill which he
caught last week and which at first was
not regarded as being of a serious nature.
Mr. Parnell, however,
grew worse. and
a physician was in,calledwith the re-
sult that the patient was ordered to take
to his bed.
Two figures, once great, have just
made their final exit from the world's
stage—Parnell and Boulanger. These
men were like aud yet unlike. At one
time each was seemingly all powerful in
his own country, and able to make and
unmake governments at will. Women
of easy virtue were also prominently
identified. with the lives of both. But
here the similarity ends. Parnell's
illicit love dragged him down into the
mire, while Boulanger'a elevated him to
a position near the Presidency of the
French Republic—a position he would
never have attained but for the money
so liberally supplied by Madame Bonne -
main. The difference in the effect on
the public mind caused by the open im-
purity of the lives of these two men is a
striking commentary on the difference
between the moral standards of Great
Britain and France.
That Parnell was a man of exceptional
ability goes without saying. But for
the discovery of his liason with Mrs.
O'Shea Home Rule for Ireland would
now be within measurable distance, with
himself as the uncrowned king of the
Emerald Isle. What the effect of his
death may be it is too early to predict.
The removal of the cause of contention
between the warring factions may con-
solidate afresh the various sections of
the broken Home Rule party ; or the
want of a prominent leader to take his
place may result in the whole organiza-
tion going to pieces.
California has more than bountiful
harvests this year. Not nearly all of
her fruit can be disposed of, and the
potato crop is so enormously large that
thousands of bushels are being allowed,
to rot in the fields. A prominent grower
says that in one district near Sacramento
no less than 60,000 bushels of potatoes
were not dug, because it would not pay
to Market them. Some of the growers
ploughed up the potatoes and allowed
them to remain on the ground as a fer-
tilizer for other crops which were put n

DEAR MR. EDITOR, —A party signing
himself "Canada First" has a letter in last
week's Tiaras in favor of Republicanism in
Canada, "Canada First" tries to show
that our population would double in ten
years if we were independent, Now, I
maintain, Sir,
that our political situation
has not muchto do with our slow growth
that is caused by the very erroneous im-
pression in England, Europe e ancl the
United States in regard to our climate
Canada is looked upon as a region of
eternal snow and perpetual winter; and
that false impression has, more to do with
emigrauts not coming here than our politi-
cal :station as a colony. Independence
might benefit us by getting us the extreme
fever ot the U. S., but I cannot see the
benefit ny Macao of population. It would
not occur on account of our reported dim -
ate. Then why or bow would independence
benefit us more than annexation? If we
think it for our benefit to change our
Political allegiance, why not be radical
about it and go where we will ret the moat
beneet? Annexation is the only thing left
if we change at all That would be our
end anyhow if we had independence.
Exeter, Oct. 9, 1891. A. 13.
1?rom information received by the
Minister of Agriculture itis learned that
there is now a good demand for the two -
rowed barley, which has been grown in
Canada, for shipment to the English
market. The reports of the results of
last year's testing by brewers in England
have been very favorable and have
awakened general interest in the subject.
The exporters who were handling this
grain have been purchasing through
local buyers in all the principal barley
districts in Ontario for the past two
weeks, paying about ten cents per bushel
more for two -rowed than is being offered.
for the six -rowed. Several large ship-
ments are now about to be made from
Montreal. Exporters are somewhat dis-
appointed at the slow deliveries. Farm-
ers do not seem to realise that as soon
as navigation closes the advanced cost of
shipment must necessarily affect the
price. Great care should be exercised
by the dealers to avoid any mixture of
the two -rowed with the six -rowed, as by
so doing they will reduce the value of
both to that of feed barley. A large
proportion of the surplus crop should
be marketed within the next two or
three weeks.
t
The officials of the Finance Depart-
ment Monday closed the books for the
fiscal year ending June 30, the transac-
tions of each year,owing to the intricacies
of Dominion book keeping, generally
overlapping 10 or 12 weeks into the fol-
lowing year. The revenue for the year
amounts to $38,513,097, and the ex-
penditure to $36,275,447, leaving a sur-
plus of $2.237,650, a very satisfactory
showing. In his budget speech, deliv-
ered on June 23 last, Hon. Mr. Foster
estimated the surplus at $2,100,000, so
that doubtless the increase on the sur-
plus above the estimate of $37,650 will
be a pleasant surprise to him. In con-
trast with the previous yeare it may be
pointed out that the revenue of 1889-90
was $39,879,925, the surplus being $3,-
885,893. With regard to this year,
however,the results are notes favorable,
there being a large falling off in the
revenue for the first quarter of the fiscal
year. The figures for the month and
quarter are as follows:
Revenue for September:
Customs $1,949,931
Excise 617,664
Post-otEee 180.rce
Public works, including railways343.312
Miscellaneous 84,922
Total • $3,175T9
Revenue to 81st August 5,639,651
Total for three months.. . $3,815,533
1,847.427
3,966.457
Expenditure for September
Expenditure to 31st August
Total for three months........ $5 833,864
Surplus .... 2,981,649
The revenue for the corresponding
quarter lasb year was $9,828,193, and
the expenditure $5,972,096. It will
thus be seen that the revenue has fallen
off exactly $1,000,000; a contingency
not unexpected, in view of the large re-
mission of taxation which has just taken
place. The net debt on September 30
was $235,425,182,or a decrease of $1,-
094,493 in the month. The expenditure
in capital account for the quarter was
$608 243 s a Mast $1 0 1 5361

:The EirittOtt Fair.
This bas been a mot favorable season for
country fairs and with few exceptions each
has proved a success, The Ind of the sea-

ly long time; while the indoor:exhibits were
ahead of former years. Suell fairs as the
one jest held ought to do a great good in
many ways. If a breeder succeeds in rah..
ing better stock than Ins neighbor; if a
farmer grows better wheat; barley, oats or
roots; if a gardener produces better fruits
or flowers—a fair of his ktnd is the place
to learn that these things are so.'and not
one suceesefnl agriculturist in ten thousand
would be other than glad to tell all his
ueighbors, and all the world, in fact, what
he bad done to produce the results wbioh
rewarded his thought and labor. Farmers
are more liberal than other men in this re-
gard. They never have Buret processes,
or try to protect any agricultural method
by letters patent. Without any ethical
laws restricting their action, they are un-
iversally guided by rules the like of which
medical men for instance have to enforce
with all the social and professional strength
of combined associations. A man does not
begin the breeding of a certain Mass of
horses, or COWS or pigs because he wishes to
be an exhibitor at fairs, and a winner of
prizes, but in very many instances his in-
terest in certain animals is first awakened
at a fair, and he buys some of the stook
which strikes his fancy. Then he breeds
to improve his own stock, and when he
does become an exhibitor he does so because
he believes that he has met with some
measure of success, and he wisher; to have
some standard applied. And so it is with
the farm products. What effect the coun-
try fairs have on women's work—the making
of quilts, fancy articles, and the making of
bread and jam—it is not necessary to say,
as the energy of women in the production
of such good and useful things has always
been so great that it has never required any
opportunity for competition to bring forth
as wonderful results as there is really any
need for. But they like these competitions,
and therefore it is only right that every
chance should be given to gratify their
desires.
On the whole the fair was a great success
and the directorate are to be complimented,
and commended for the energy put forth in
giving the people of the neighborhood such
a fine fair.
