TKO prospects of brighter days are be.
coming a reality and the following item
concerning the Great West will be read
with satisfaction :-Lieul,•Governor
Mackintosh, of the Northwest Territories,
who was in Ottawa the other day, asserts
that since last harvest the farmers of
Manitoba and the Northwest have paid
off $8,600,000 of indebtedness, and start
out on the Summer with the strongest of
hopes for the near future. The boom in
mining and the contemplated early con-
struction of the Crow's Nest Pass Rail.
way will add much to the prosperity of
the Northwest settlers.
NEWER since. Confederation has there
been such a political overthrow in Can-
ada as occurred throughout Nova Sootia
Tuesday in the general elections for that
Province, The Conservative party was
mactically extinguished. The Conserve,.
tives did not oarry their full ticket in a
single 000nty of the eighteen comprising
the electoral district. In fact, they will
have but four members iu a house of
38. In the last Ifouse the eight mem-
bers from Cape Breton Island were tom•
prised of G Conservatives and two Libor.
Ms. In the now Assembly there will not
be n solitary Conservative, Cape Breton
seeding a solid phalanx of Liberals. The
Liberals carried 15 of the eighteen noun.
ties, ,lected two or three members in one
of the others and divided the represents•
tion in the remaining two.
.Tuners has declared war on Greece.
Fighting on the frontier has been vigor-
ously resumed. The Greeks have won
an important engagement at Reveui and
the Turkish army there was reported to
be retreating, but later dispatches show
that the Turks have had the best of it so
far. Both sides are fighting like demons
it is said. The Times in an editorial on
the war between Turkey and Greece
dwelle upon the provocation Turkey has
received by Greece invading Crete and
remaining there, and then invading
Macedonia. The paper asks :---"What
other power its Europe commanding a
Line army would have carried its patience
so far as Turkey has done ?" It adds :-
"0f course there are special reasons why
she has been slow to respond to the pro-
vocation. Turkey is well aware that in no
case will she be allowed togetherthe fruit
of victory over a Christian people. The
statement in her circular to the powers
declaring that she has no idea of conquest
and expressing willingness to withdraw
her troops if Greece withdraws hers from
the frontier and from Crete was wise, but
it was also a somewhat superfluous dis-
play of moderation. She prudently re-
nounces what she knows she will not be
permited to have," It is not considered
likely that the powers will interfere bet.
ween Greece and Turkey until one power
or the other is defeated. The proposals
will likely be made for a aonveution to
settle the terms of peace. The sympathy
of a, large portion of the civilized world is
with Greece.

Farmers and the Duty.
To the l:dltor of Toa ;conn'
Dona Sia, -If farmers would examine
the effect the duties on food stuffs would
have cu themselves if these duties ever
bsoome effeotivo, they would be the first
to insist on their abolition. For many
years to 0o111e our principle exports will
neccasarily cuueist of food stuffs, con-
sequently these duties can be effective
only in ease of n serious failure of crops.
If such a calamity hofel us, the priori of
food stuffs would be exalted to the full
extent of the duty, plus theer tentage
of profit dealers charge on their outlay
for duty, 1t is estimated that for every
dollar the dealer pays in duty, the con-
sumer pays one dollar and fifty cents.
The speculators, millers and the few
farmers who {vera fortunate enough to
have good crops would under these con-
ditions realize abnormal profits, for the
farmers whose crops had failed would be
obliged to purchase food for their families
and live stook at the exalted prices from
these speculators, millers and lucky
farmers.
Thus we see these duties on food stuffs
eau only be effective when the community
is
suffering raider the most awful visi-
tation that can atliiet the people of any
cuuutry, and whets in consequence thous-
ands of our wage earners would be out of
employment.
The inevitable effect of these duties on
food stuffs if ever they become operative
would therefore be to deepen the distress
amongst the farmers and wage earners
whose losses and enforced idleness and
consequent poverty compel them to bear
the full force of such a calamity as a
failure of crops, whilst they (the duties)
would at the expense of these suffering
millions enrich that portion of the coin-
nnnuity whose wealth and good crops,
even in the absence of these duties, would
enable them to protest themselves against
the consequences of such a visitation.
The imposition of such duties aro at
variance with the "golden ruled' the key
from which all our laws are supposed to
take their tone, and are a disgrace to the
Statutes of any Christian country.
Farmers ahonld insist on their aboli•
Mon, not only for the injury they roust
inflict on themselves if ever they became
effective, but because they furnish an
exouse for the perpetuation of duties on
other thiugs that are a daily loss to all
who pursue that honorable calling. It
should always be remembered that as 1
long as there is a surplus for export,
duties levied for protective purposes
afford no protection.

A WOODSTOCK Bar's ADvaxxuen.-The
following despatch from Newton, West
Indies, refers to the eon of W. H. Van
Inman, oollectur of Customs, Woodslook :
-The British cruiser Partridge, Capt.
Van Ligon commanding, reports that On
Sunday, ltiaroh 28th, she fired on a
suspicions vessel that resembled the old
filibuster Bermuda. The Partridge start-
ed on a cruise ou March 25th, and early
on Sunday she sighted the steamship
which she at first thought was a West
India fruiter. The vessel refused to
show her colors and the Partridge fired
two blank shots and then solid shots at
the steamer. The range was too long
for the shots to be effective and the Part-
ridge started in pursuit. The cruiser
being the slower vessel, the suspicious
vessel escaped, The Partridge returned to
Watling's Island to look after a schooner
that was with the steamship, but she too
had escaped. It is supposed that the
vessels ware a part of a filibustering
expedition that started from Nassau for
Cuba. The Partridge will leave again
ou another search after them,
