FR/DAY, AUG. 13, 1897:
GREAT hutereet is being taken this year
in the thorough revision of the Voters'
list on a000uut of the next Provincial
elections being fought upon it. Some
people are supremely careless about this
matter until an election looms tip and
thea the air becomes sulphurous if a
voter's name is not on the roll. livery.
body entitled to a vote should have ib, but
the individual elector should feel interest
enough in this important duty incumbent
upon him to see that his mute is properly
on the list. A few votes often make a
big difference on polling day and now is
the time to pat beyoud any peradventure
your right toexercise the franchise iu
1898.
Tats Pear has not the slightest fault to
find with amateur sport, especially when
carried on in a friendly way and free
from the unseemly wrangles that some-
times occur to the dissatisfaction of fair
s,mindea players and the utter cliegout of
spectators who go to wituoss athletics and
not a jaw winding bee. But we are very
strongly opposed to the conduct of those
players or their friends, who appear to
think that "bowling up," loud and
boisterous eiugiug; war whoops that
would put an aborigiue to blush ; or
blasphemous language go to complete an
evening's program of sports. There is
no doubt but healthy exercise is product-
ive of good, but the accompaniment
mentioned above is neither gond for body,
mind or soul, and the end is not hard to
predict. If Brusaels boys forget their
gentlemanly bearing when absent from
home they deeerve to be galled clown just
as well as those who may visit our town.
We don't go round the bush to say that
eve believe many a young fellow can date
the commencement of a down grade
movement to the result of a carouse after
a gams of hall. This ought not to be and
those who are wise will see that their
face is resolutely set against what ap•
pears to be a too eommou practice.
POLITICAL.
Tho right of the Provinces to make
Queen's Counsel has been upheld by the
British Privy Council. It is years since
Sir Oliver Alowat so decided.
Canada had either to take back our
offer of a preferential tariff, and thereby
consider ourselves snubbed, or Britain
had to denounce the treaties. Britain
spoke, and Canada triumphs.
Toronto News :-"Great Britaiu's de.
nunciation of the commercial treaties
with Germany and Belgium is a triumph
for Canadian influence and Canadian
statesmanship. It is not a triumph for
a party, but a triumph for a nation."
The Dominion Government has been
officially notified by the 13igh Commis.
sioner in London of the denudation of
the German and Belgium treaties. ' It is
reported that Belgium will endeavor to
arrange a commercial treaty with Canada.
The Buffalo Express, referring to the
further promotion of the Canadian prefer.
ential tariff with Great Britain says :-
"This is a phase of a commercial develop-
ment which will be carefully studied by
all the nations of the world. If it eue-
coeds well, the credit will belong to the
Liberal party of Canada, whose leader,
Sir Wilfrid Laurier, has reaped the lion's
share of the jubilee honors."
The hearing of the appeal by the Bri=
tisk Privy Council against the ,judgment
entered by the Supreme Court of Canada
in October, 1895, ie proceedings between
the Attorney-Geueval of Canada on the
one side and the Attorneys-Goueral of
Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia on the
other, relative to the jurisdiction over
fisheries within the limits of the Provin-
ces, was concluded Tuesday. Judgment
was reserved.
The commercial treaty between Great
Britain and the German zullvercin has
been denounced by Great Britain and
will cease to be operative a year hence,
The Times again compliments Canada
and Sir Wilfrid Laurier, the Canadian
Premier, upon paving the way for further
Consolidation 01 the empire. The London
Standard and Daily News, representing
both shades of politics, endorse the posi•
tion taken, and practically tell Germany
if site doesn't like it elle can do the other
thing. A sensation was caused at Berlin
as well as at Ilrussele ever the announce•
mmnt.

Red Ill) equent lure --L Statement
That Should be neat. by Every Girl
Miss Amina Kelly, a well known and
much esteemed young lady living at
Maplewood, N. B., writes :-"I consider
it my duty to let yon know vehab your
wonderful medieme has done for ate. In
1896 I began to lose flesh and color, my
appetite failed, and on going up stairs I
wonld be so tired that I would have to
rest. I continued in this condition for
three months when I was taken suddenly
ill and was not able to gp about. Our
family doctor was called in and he pro-
nounced my illness chlorosis (poverty of
the blood.) At first his treatment ap-
peared to do Inc good, but only for a time,
and I then began to grow worse. I con.
tinned taking his medicine for three
mouths, when I was so discouraged at
not regaining my health that I declined
baking it any longer. I then tried a
liquid medicine advertised to erre cases
like mine, bat did nob obtain the slightest
benefit. I had become terribly emaciated
and weak, There was a constant terrible
roaring in my head : my feet and ankles
were swollen and I wail as pale as a
corpse. One day while in this condition
Inv father broegbt home a hex of Dr.
Williams' fink Pills and asked me to try
them. In less than a week I could sit up,
and in a couple of weeks I could walk
quite a distance without being tired. My
appetite returned, the roaring in my
head ceased, I began to gain flesh and
color,and before I had used half a dozen
boxes I was as healthy as I had ever
been in my life. My friends did not
expect me to r000ver and are note re-
joicing at the wonderful change Dr. Wil-
liams' Pink Pills have wrought in me.
If my statement will he the means of
helping some other discouraged sufferer
you are nil perfect liberty to publish it.
The above statement was sworn before
me at Maplewood, York Co., N. B., this
14th clay of May, 1897.

Col. Charles F. Crooks has been admitted

Tint Wnonr Curnoos,-With flour sell -
Mg in Chicago at $5per barrel, the pro-
visional estimate of the wheat crops of
European countries -based on official or
the best available commercial oaloulabions
-as given in "Beerbolm's List," seems,
indeed, startling. Compared with last
year's props, it shows more or less serious
defioie ncios in Austria-Hungary, France,
Germany, Italy, Bulgaria, Roumania,
Russia, Turkey and the United Kingdom,
and makes the total 161,850,000 quarters,
as compared with 189,725,000 for 1896.
The total is 20,000,000 quarters less than
that of any year since 1891. Whether
Argeubiva or Australia will be able to con.
tribute materially to European require-
ments or nob remains to be seen, but the
prospects in those countries are not bril-
liant at present. The estimated con•
sumption of Europe in the cereal year
1897.8 is 206,000,000 quarters, so that, ac-
cording to the reckoning given above,
there will be a deficiency of 44,150,000
quarters, to be =milled by countries out.
side Europe, or throe times the average
anneal deficiency of the three preceding
cereal years. The United States and
Canada will not be able to contribute
more than half this quantity, in all prob.
ability, and it is not easy to imagine how
the rest will be made np. The average
annual imports of Europe from outside
countries during the last three areal
,years have been only aboub 21,000,000
quarters. Apparently the people of Env,
opo will have to eat more rye and pita.
toes, if available, and less wheat. The
situation is all the more cribical because
of the well-known fact that the world'e
stocks of wheat are not much more than
half the average quantity hold at this
period of the season in recent years. It
to not only that the world's vieiblo supply,
on the ist of July, was put at 0,800,000
quarters, against 13,150,000, 16,360,000,
18,300,000 and 10,0011,000 for the forte
preoedin;1 years, but it is well known that
stocks melte by farmers, inland merchants
and millers, whioh make up the invisible
supply, aro exceptionally small.
There has been a general improvement
in trade at Liverpool. In the Loudon
market on A,ug, Oth, United Settees cattle
brought 51,)51 per lb , and Canadian oattlo
520. Canadian sheep wore quoted et 50
and Argentines ar 5d. In the Liverpool
market Canadian cattle sold at 50, and
Canadian snoop at 490.
Tart fluor or Arrr.t;q,-Tho National
Apple Shippers' Association gives the
Canadian percentage for 1807 as 40 based
upon 100 es a full crop. In the Baetern
seotion of the United Statue there nae
been n considerable falling off, and in
some Western States a decided increase.
Oa the whole this year's crop falls con-
siderably below that of last year, bet is
