SCOT%, ELECTLO,ZV%S, On Saturday nasi, t'he''l tiling of two important constituencies in Nova Scotia, was tested and well fl!08ued, with regard to the doings of the McDonald 'Alley =administration. 'On that'day the coun- ties of Colchester and Plata •elected Messrs, McLelan and McDeugald by /majorities of 431 and 208 votes retpeet• ivke1y. The main issues in the election :as intreiuced by the Grits seems to Have been the .failure of the .national policy, and the awful blunder of the :syndicate bargain;; besides these, dCd Hatreds, jealousies and personal enmi- Kies stirred np at the time of confedera- tion were .again brought into fresh re- tn embranoe and activity. In fact tevelyy means that ,coned •be•brou; ht into. .adiiiln were fused for the purpose of (de'feeding; these •oandidetes but the ipet{llle lhawe shown by the large Ilntljjurity they have given them, that they lha've•the fullest confidence in; the IGoti;ernment, •have been greatly 'bone - flitted 'by the National ?oliey and have ' "'Ltendersed the- Pacific Railway bargain. .lin (conclusion we might say theta is with pleasure that the electors of Pic - ton and .Colchester are to be congratu- llated+on the•stand they leave taken and eve lopeat •at the next :general (election to :see them eleot their standard bearers /by still more increased majorities.. EDITORIAL NOTES. THE Belleville Ontario carries off the jack-knife when it .says "The people of Canada are. poor. The N. P. has robbed them 'of the little wealth they once possessed, and they lave nothing; te-give." Now tell another and a. big- ger met RereneING to the Nova Scotia elec- tions, the Montreal Witness (Grit) says: .The result of these elections cannot be regarded as a. popular endorsement of the National Policy, There was, nv, elf rking of the issue'ou the part of cane didates o'n either side. Mr. Irvine's wonderful success in taking a bold stand on this and the Pacific Railway ques- tion emboldened the 'Opposition calldi- dates to take the same course, and the. Government candidates accepted the issues very readily, and manfully de. fended the 'Government on both and they' have been supported. Judging from these elections, there does not seem •to be any great Liberal reaction in 'Nova Scotia atleast. When the Hon, Edward Blake was in M,.ntreal recently,. he declared that tae feeling -in the Martine Provinces wasall that could be diesired by' the Liberal party. The :results of these electionsseem to indicate that he was misinformed, At any rate, tin% attest that there is a wide field for the Tabor which the lead- er of the Opposition intends to enter upon within the next few months in the Lower Provinces, There was .a 'good dealof hard work tobe done if the Li- berals are to be successful at the next general elections.. THE frost which...did severe damage to some parts of Ontario a Week or two :ago skipped (the western part •of .the District of Algoma, and even the tond- •erest vegetables in the neighborhood of the Sault escaped unhurt. THREE moreof nvicts who recently 'eecapeclefrom hair guards on •tlie• Grand- 'Trunk have been •captured. A fourth, who was taken at Iroquois, again .man - •aged t„eescape by the simple process•of breaking down the door of the•venerable rruin dignified) aqy the mane • of lock-up, in which he 'had been confined.

The ;Eng- lish manufacturers, •however, do not 'lose much, for Turks are never in a 'hurry to pay their bilis.

THE following is what the..Globe said -of the Nova Scotia elections a few dayis.. :ago:—" The return of the Liberal:cala-r .didates in Pictou and Colchester will be. an emphatic verdict of the people upon these two great questions of the public policy -the syndicate contract and the tax on bread:" ‘OE course now axsaratter of courtesy the O'lobe tllsgracsefullystrb ,wit to the•decisionoftShe pea;1le o£ those 'Royal constituencies, 'They are natitri 'be deceived and the•Vlobe needenot try.: the task of pulling the weolietver their. eyes.
