Any other policy, according to the business men and\nmissionaries with whom the Associated Press representative has talked,\nwould be a vital blow to the prestige\nof the foreigners and would weaken\ntheir status in China. The local English papers fiercely denounce the proposals to evacuate Pekin and say that\nthe Chinese would interpret evacuation as defeat.\nThe masses of Chinamen now believe that the Chinese arms are victorious. The Chinese papers printed\nin Shanghai contain lone; circumstantial accounts of alleged Chinese victories at Pekin, Tien Tsin and Tung\nChao, and the shops in the native\nquarter display for sale lurid pictures\nof the Celestial army driving the European soldiers into the sea at Taku\nand cutting them to pieces at Tien\nTsin.

At the request\nof the mission board the details were\nwithheld out of regard for the feelings of the relatives of the murdered\nwomen. Hut other prominent Americans, who have long antagonized the\npolicy of sending women to isolated\ninland posts, think it important that\nthe facts should be known. The\nnames of victims arc withheld, by\nrequest.

Por example, in\n1890, a Conservative year, the total\nImports and exports were 8218,007,300;\nin ls'.i'.i, a Liberal year, tbey had\nswelled to 8331,001,313, It follows,\ntherefore, that il is better for the\ntrade of the country lo have a Liberal\nGovernment in charge of affairs, and\nit accordingly becomes tlie duty of\nevery sensible elector to vote for Liberal candidates. That was the line of\nargument taken by sir Richard Cart-\nwright in one of his recent speeches.\nSir Richard is not Minister of Finance in the Laurier Government, but\nbe is nevertheless the financial oracle.\nThe stall' of ollice has In en put into\nthe hands of a youngster, Mr. Fielding, but the veteran Knight is the\nauthority in the last resort. In bis\nspeeches be always deals with the financial standing of tlie country, and\nfiscal mutters generally are his favorite, nnd almost exclusive, topic. Being Minister of Trade and Commerce,\nbe is especially familiar with imports\nund exports, and no one can be quicker in deducing from the large increase\nin tbeir volume that the country is\nbetter oil' under a Liberal than it\nwould be under a Conservative Government. . Trade is booming, all because he and Mr. Fielding and Sir\nWilfrid and the rest of tbem are in\ncharge at Ottawa, and to vote them\nout would be disastrous.\nIt did not need Sir Richard's sober\ncontention in this regard to understand that in the coining campaign\ntin- Liberals intend to rely a great\ndeal on the present commercial pros\nperity of the country. That prosper\nity, tbey will claim-are, iu fact, ul\nready claiming\ufffd\ufffd\ufffdis due to Liberal pol\nicy and administration. If wc bavi\ngood times, wc have to put it. down\nto tbe filet that the Liberals are in.\nWell, they were in once before. They\ncame in in 1873 and went nut iu ls7s.\nDuring that time the trade of the\ncountry went to ihe dogs. Liberal\npolicy and administration railed ti\nsave it then. The year before they\ncame in tlie total trade was 8.17,801,-\n203; the year they went out it shrank\nto 0188,45.1,882, Thc Conservatives\nsaid it was owing to the mistaken\npolicy of the Liberals, and sir Richard,who was Finance Minister ut the\nli became highly Indignant nt\nthis and said it was due tn a dispensation of Providence, Provldcnco was\nresponsible for a business \"leplessii in\nthat embraced Canada ami played havoc with trade.\nsir Richard Cartwright would not\nallow that the Liberals were in tlie\nhast responsible fm- thi ntractlon\nin trade during their term of office\nback in the -iieiiiies: I'rovidonco\nwas alone In I.lame, llui now thai\nthere is an expansion, 1'rovlncnco is\nquietly put aside ami the whole crcdll\nis ascribed to Liberal policy and administration, Sir Richard I ould understand the depression in tlie seven-\ntics; but Im resolutely refuses in recognise the fait that the entire civilised world has fm- several years past\nbeen enjoying .'I degree ,,f prospcrltj\nsuoh iis has 1 n Bcldora experienced,\nami that Canada is reaping lei- full\n'.''here arc some rum specimens of\nthe public educator and instructor\namong the newspapers of the Province.

It is angry because a\nredistribution measure was not pass\ned during the session recently closed.\nIt says: \"The census excuse is all\nbosh, as Redistribution Hills have\ntwice passed in the House since the\nlast census in '91.\" Whether it would\nbe expedient to wait four, six. or\neight years for ll census before making a icdistribution is one thing; to\nwait from one year to tbe next is\nquite another. The urgency would\nrequire to be very great indeed to\njustify a blind redistribution on tbe\neve of a census that will give us ex-\nictly the light required. The folly of\nsuch a suggestion looms all the great*\nwhen we reflect tbat there is little\nprobability of a general election for\nthe next four years, and in the meantime we have leisure for Several redistributions, Should it be discovered that\nthey afford amusement enough for\nthe trouble.\nThe End of\nThe Season\nKinds us with a low pairs of Men's\nand Women's Summer Shoes\non hand, and these we have marked down\nvery low.
