The Quebec chronicle
Sous un titre qui a varié (Morning Chronicle, Quebec Morning Chronicle, Quebec Chronicle), un journal de langue anglaise publié à Québec qui met notamment l'accent sur l'actualité commerciale et maritime. [...]
Fondé en 1847 par Robert Middleton et Charles Saint-Michel, ce journal est d'abord connu sous le nom de Morning Chronicle. Son programme éditorial est tourné vers les intérêts britanniques, ce qui plaît aux conservateurs et aux impérialistes. Toutefois, cela n'en fait pas une publication politique pour autant puisque l'on y évite les longs éditoriaux et les sujets polémiques, probablement pour se différencier du Quebec Gazette, ancien employeur de Middleton et féroce concurrent. Le contenu est plutôt centré sur l'actualité (majoritairement en provenance d'autres journaux anglais et américains), sur la vie commerciale et maritime, ainsi que sur la littérature (peu présente pendant les premières années). La ligne éditoriale du journal est définie comme suit : « [.] in the management of The Morning Chronicle we shall, therefore, begin by simply declaring, that, as we glory in our connexion with the British Empire, it will be our undeviating aim and unremitting endeavour, to create and foster a cordial attachment to those time-honoured institutions which have made her so illustrious in the annals of the world ». (May 18, 1847, p. 2)

[Traduction]
« [...] la direction de The Morning Chronicle, par conséquent, débute en déclarant simplement que, comme nous sommes très fiers de notre relation avec l'Empire Britannique, notre but sera sans détour de créer et d'entretenir un attachement aux honorables institutions britanniques, qui se sont grandement illustrées à travers l'histoire mondiale ». Sous Charles Saint-Michel (1849-1860), le journal devient le porte-parole des aspirations de la bourgeoisie commerciale anglaise et les sujets politiques prennent une part plus importante. L'esprit protectionniste, rattaché au torysme, teinte la rédaction. Durant la période de la Confédération, le Morning est utilisé comme tribune pour faire la promotion des idées de John A. Macdonald. Toutefois, l'attrait premier du journal reste avant tout la vie relative au commerce. En 1874, une fusion avec The Quebec Gazette met fin à une concurrence jugée ruineuse. Fondé en juin 1764, c'est l'un des plus vieux journaux d'Amérique du Nord. Une nouvelle entente survient en 1924. Pour mettre fin à une concurrence qui les affaiblit, le journal alors connu sous le nom de Quebec Chronicle and Quebec Gazette et le Quebec Daily Telegraph (fondé en 1875 par James Carrel, il défend les idées populaires et est reconnu comme étant libéral) s'associent et deviennent le Chronicle Telegraph. Les nouvelles prennent une place prépondérante dans les colonnes de la « nouvelle » publication. À partir de 1934, le journal est connu sous le nom The Quebec Chronicle-Telegraph. Il paraît toujours aujourd'hui. Voici les différents titres que le Quebec Chronicle-Telegraph a connus depuis ses débuts : Disponibles en ligne : The Morning Chronicle (Jan. 1847 - Nov. 1850) The Morning Chronicle and Commercial and Shipping, 1850-1888 The Morning Chronicle (Feb. 1888 - May 1888) The Quebec Morning Chronicle, 1888-1898 The Quebec Chronicle, 1898-1924 Non disponible en ligne : The Chronicle Telegraph (1925-1934) The Québec Chronicle-Telegraph (1934 à ce jour)

temporary Board of Management.Sir Joseph, declared Mr.Cannon, bore the most hated name of any man in Canada.He was the greatest war profiteer in the Dominion and had earned & most unsavory reputation during the great struggie while soquiring milNons.\u2018The people of Canada expected the Government to ses that the huge sums voted for the Grand Trunk were not placed ia the hands of a man itke éir Joseph Flavelle.Mr.Cannon's attack called forth & warm defence from Hon.J.D.Retd, Minister of Railways, who was piloting the Estimates.There was not 4 man in Canada who had a better reputation than ir Joseph, he retorted, and it would further be in the best interests of Canada If the Government could secure Sir Joseph as Chairman of the Canadian National Ratlway Board.The attack made by Mr.Cannon was unfair and unjust.The (Minister made an extended statement to the Committee in explanation of the item under discussion.Part of the total amount had been used to pay secounts due or overdue when

record of the debate in Hansard.He suggested that the item he allowed to stand for the present.© The Minister objected that no progress had been made.Finally, however, he agreed to the

divorce to Alphonse LeMoyne De Martigny of Montneal, !t de interesting to note that since Confederation the divorce committee of the Sonate has granted 610 divorces, 354 of which were on application of husbands, end 286 on the application of wives.During this period, Ontario has 3d the way with a total of 466 divorces, as against 93 from Quebec, 27 from trom Alberta, two from British Columbia, one from Prince Edward Island and seven from the Northwest Territories.In the ten year pertod from 18 to 1377 only seven divorces wes granted.In the ten years ending number jumped to $4 for the period 1899 to 1910, Hart Crom 1910 to 1919 the number reached the total of 286.That the next ten year period will establish a new high record is shown by the fact that In 1920 alone 100 divorces were approved, while if ail the recommendations of the divorce committee carry this year and with the one exception there is every reason to suppose they wil make the total Cor Dis reach 110.us.WILL

Be Formally Opened This Afternoon In Paquet\u2019s Store By Lieutenant Governor The Child's Welfare Exhibitionorganised by the Goutte de Lait and L'Assistance Maternelle will %e opened this afternoon at 4 e'clock by Mis Honor the l.teut.Governor, Sir Charles Fitspatrick, in Paquet s Btore, when many interesting demonstrations relating to the weltare «ft children wil bs given and instruction in the care of the child will be explained tc the mothers The importance of this Child Welfare Exhibition cannot be exaggerated when the great mortality amongst the young children of this tity \u2018is considered.The Goutte de Lait has been performing a splendid service in reducing the number 1t is to be regrgtied although the number of children brought to the Goutte de lait has improved, still it is found that the mortality amongst them is far too heavy.The death rate among the children who were brought this last year to the Goutte de Lait was 65 per thousand, which is very much lower than that which existed among other children of the city, the mortality amongst the latter being 172 per thousand.About one thousand children were treated by the Goutte de Lait last year.This number is, however, not considered aufticient, when in view of the fact that there are some three thousand children born in Quebec each year, and the | proportion of children dealt with by the Goutte de Lait, therefore, should be at least around two thousand.Through this exhibition and with both the Goutte de Lait and L'Assistance Maternalie co-operating in this important service, it is expected that more interest will be taken by mothers in the work, and thus reduce stil more the already too high death-rate amongst the children of Quebec.Island boat leaves at 8 tonight for the Dance.DEATH OF MR, OSCAR

and, on the other hand.in summer it I» much cooler than many points much farther north.\u201cThe land of fire,\u201c says the National Geographic Society.would be «à much more appropriate name for Iceland than the one it is now known by.For the surface of no other country, perhaps, is so desply marked by the volcances In no other country of equal area are to be found s0 many voicanie peaks and veine.Of the 40,000 aquare miles of the country\u2019s area, 5.600 are teovered by lava flows.Iceland is abeut 8,000 aquare miles larger than Ireland.It is only a short distance off the Europeward cesst ef Greeniand, and Nits nerthernmeost enpe juet teuehes the In æpiie of its pesi- \u2018tlen æ near the nerth pele, loe- iland, thanks to the Guif Stream, has a relatively mild winter elimate.Raykjavik.the capital, ie in the same latitude 38 Nome, Alaska, but has a January temperature milder than that of Milan.Italyleelandic summers, however, are cosi, êue te the large felde of ice that font dewn from the north.Grain cannot be grown antisfacter, Lily.and all breadmuffs must be imported.May.polatoes and turnips: are the ofly agricultural preduets of any importance.Cattle.hersses and sheep are raised in considerable numbers, and large quantities of Nek, chiefly cod and herring\u2014are token from the neighboring waters.Though Iceland has an extensive area, for all practical purposes it might just as well be only & seventh (te \u2018actual size.Although Europeans emigrated to Yesland about seven hundred yours before old world colonies were established in the now famed North America.only the val- leg and lowlands near the coast of the island have ever been developed.This 18 not because of à lack of energy the part of the hardy Scandinavians who eettied the island, but because the inierior, comprising about six-sevenths of the total area, (» 8 waste of fava.The island is approximately 200 miles wide and 300 miles long, but hardly a habitation can be found :more than forty miles from sait water.There are no raliroads and few carriage roads.The |nhabi.tents depend almost entirely on water transportation along (he coast and in the many fords.Iceland can be considered the half-way Station between Europe and America.Nearly 700 years de.tere Columbus safied to the West Indien through the warm south Atantic in hie relatively large decked ships.daring Beandinavian sen rov- ors, in their open bo: passed from Norway 10 Iceland d from there to the coasts of Maine and Rhode toland.testa WON'T MISS IT.A woman may have an engagement with you and keep you wating several howrs hu: if its & train you are going to také she'll make sure to set you Lo the depot an hour ahead of time, Closing Letters By Local Brokers (By L.G.Beaubien & Oo.) New York, May 10-\u2014Foillowing the recent névance, the resession of stock prices in progress at this writing is likely to provide the lst op~ portunity for the purchase of seour- ities at this Jevel for some time to come.Dewpite professional operations, we do not anticipate Whe pre- went decline in prices wil be long sustained.Though the country has made es- tounding ewides toward completing readjustments neceamry to bring about sound economic condifons, 80 much sill remains to be done that it i8 not wise yet to expect a steady and suwiained advance of prices for the future.Undoubtedly the vartous steps in the solution of our many Sfflouit probleme will de marked by hesitation or by temporary declines more frequent than usual at the commencement of an upward merk- ot.But in view of the great dechne in prices since 1819, the wstrong technical position of the market, the greatly strengthened Federal Reserves, aw well as improving national sentiment and confidence, we be- Heve intending purchasers should no longer withhold their commitments.The most difficult and necessary problems the country must solve, de- fore it is Wikely again as à wholes to enjoy a normal prosperity, are a further teduction in the cost of doing the business of the country, reduction in the cost of all labor affecting production and transportation, reduction In the cost of rents and ilving, and last, but not leuut in its force as an example, à reduction in the high cost of extravagant Government before any sort of reduction in burdensome taxation ia possible.We do not expect all the foregoing to be accomplished in à short space of time.However, the national efficiency and economy necessary to restore normal conditions are perhaps not|Ÿ far around the corner.Many great industries are today operating at a loss which would be fatal to everyone concerned ¥ long continued, and many are still paying extravagant wages induced by war inflation and nations] emergency, in some cases with the workers on half time to avert distress.Since these conditions cannot last indefinitely and since economy and efficiency are the alternatives in this; case to starvation, economic and| otherwise, we believe it wil be but: a whort white before the tendency: toward the former efficiency and economy, now eo necessary, will manifest itself to an extent making possible the desired economic revival.We have expressed the opinion in previous letters that, though much yet remains to be achieved, the readjustments aiready made have been great and very beneficial; that the present level of securities has for the most part fully discounted the trials of the present.This we repeat again.We telleve the market wil shostly ries to discount the expected improvement, and as usual witi start before the improvement has tecome evident to the casual abservers.The Toronto Produce Market Toronto, May 30\u2014Manitobe wheat No.1, Northern, $1.43 1-3;
