Conservative Management in

|

Quebec

Tue finances of Quebec have been de- cidedly improved, as 4 result of Conserva- | tive administration. On the opening of the Legislature on Thursday last, the Lieuten- ant-Governor was able to say, in the eounee | of the speech from the throne, that so far | as it is possible to devermine from the first six months, from the first of July last, the sums voted for the ordinary expenses of the year 1892-93, which showed s reduction of more than four hundred thousand dol-

lars over those of the preceding year, will be suflicient and probably more than suffi- cient, while the receipts will exceed the expectations of the Government. His Honor also called the attention of the Legislature to the importance of agriculcure and the ne- ceasity of aiding the farmers to improve their methods. He said that the system so successfully inauugrated last fall for the encouragement of butter making during the winter, gave results which exceeded expec- tations, and that the Government wishes to continue this system for the next three years. The Goverament will continue to foster as much as possible theestablishment of butter and cheese syndicates, so as to se- cure throughout the Prevince manufac ture of a uniform article of excellent quality. [t is evident that the Government is striv- ing with some success to make good the losses of extravagant grits headed by Mer- cier, and has already set about the develop- ment of the best interesta of the Province.

Treatment of Witnesses.

We have had occasion in the past to re- fer to the brow-beating of witnesses by cross-examining The fact that Mr. Davies was constrained, yesterday, to protest against the conduct of the Attor-

counsel.

ney-General in respect to one of the wit- nesses in the Strickland-Brennan case may be taken as proof that this bad-mannerism has not yet disappeared from our courts. There seems to be no good reason why a man giving evidence under oath should be treated upon principles other than ‘those which ordinarily govern lawyers and lay- men. If he behave as a gentleman, he ought surely to be treated as a gentleman, Ifhe be not evidently unwilling to give

evidence. or not evidently un- friendly, or not evidently pre- varicating or lying, it might, in common courtesy, be assumed by the

cross-examining counsel that he is willing, that he is not unfriendly, that he is not pre- varicating or swearing falsely. If he be mistaken in respect to his facts or his opin- ions, there is a better way of convincing the court and jury of the fact than by assum-

and trying to

ing a hectoring tone

put words into his mouth. Such conduct is calculated only to annoy and confuse. In any case, the brow- beating counsel is uot in good form.

He doesn’t show to advantage, and his tactics do not, as a rule, help the cause of his clients. Practising attorneys enjoy great privileges in our courts, but they ought not to assume that they are bound, when within the portals of the courtroom, to throw aside the polite manners of gentle- men. While it is not probable that the bad habit of badgering witnesses is peculiar to counsel practising here, there ought to be an improvement here in this regard; and the Attorney-General—who is officially recognized as leader of the Bar, might well begin to set a good example.

Notes and Comments.

The Hon. Benjamin Davies has, by letter to the Patriot, called attention to the fact that large quantities of kerosene oil and other inflammable vils are stored on the wharves and in the storehouses of the wharves of the city. It is to be hoped that the city authorities will see to it that pro- perty is not unnecessarily endangered from this cause.

—QOn the outside pages of Tue Examiner to-day will be found an interesting article descriptive of the new Roman Catholic Cathedral which it is proposed to erect in Charlottetown. The want of a new Cathe- dral has long been felt by the congregation of St. Dunstan's, and it is hoped that His Lordship Bishop Macdonald and the build- ing committee will receive such substantial encouragement that they will be able to be- gin the work of erection at an early date.

Boston Markets

Porators.—P. E. Island Chenangoes are now selling in Boston at 70 cents to 75 cents per bushel.

Eeos.—Eggs from the Provinces sell at 30 to 31 cents per dozen.

Pork.—The best pork is quoted at $22.50 to $22.75 per bbl in wholesale lots.

An agent of the Columbia Exposition commissioners will leave Chicago for Eng- land to invite Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, to visit Chicago during the world’s fair. He will carry six handsome mother of pearl cases, in each being a parchment inscribed. The invitation will be presented to the Prince personally.

When Mr. Cleveland goes to Washington to be inaugurated, he will first call upon Presid ent Harrison at the White House and then Presideat Harrison will call upon Mr. Cleve- land at his hotel. They will thus be abie to form an exact judgment as to how each locked to the other four years ago when their respec‘ tive positions on the little programme were reversed,

THANKFULNESS FOR PAST BLESSINGS,

We cordially congratulate the congrega- tion of St. James’ Church on the result of their year's work as shown by the reports submitted to the annual meeting last night. All societies carrying on the congregational work submitted most encouraging state- ments. Seventeen hundred dollars worth of bonds were cancelled during the year, and a balance of $200 more in the hands of the ladies will be available for the other bond which falladue in February. The

| Session report showed that $510 had been | contribated to Home and Foreign Missions,

College, French Evangelization and other schemes of the Presbyterian Church, while

a little over $500 had been given to other religious and benevolent objeets The trustees’ report showed that

they had received §4,265 from all sources, and had expended $4,260. The energetic organ committee congratu- lated the congregation on the possession of one of the finest organs in the Provinces. They had raised $1,000 in cash towards its purchase; and the trustees, as empowered by the congregation, had issued $1,500 worth of bonds fer the same object. They reported a balance of $600 atill to be raised. A summary of receipts showed that during 1892 the congregation had raised, for all purposes, $5,735. This is all the more creditable, as the congregation for eight months of the year were without a pastor. Cordial votes of thanks were passed to the members of the choir and the officers and members of the various congregational societies for their energetic and successful work during the year, and to Mr. T. C, James for his services to the congregation during the vacancy. Several of the speakers referred to the very satis- factory pulpit supply which they had en- joyed since the resignation of their late pastor, and throughoat the whole meeting there was manifested a tone of devont a thankfulness for past blessings and a strong feeling of confidence in the future. According to the act of incorporation two of the trustees, Messrs. A. Kennedy and Wm. McKie retired. The vote to fill their places resulted in the re-election of Mr. Kennedy and the ehoice of Mr, A. Lord.

The Strickland Brennan Case.

Arrer hearing additional evidence from Dr. Barnes, Mr. C,C. Gardner and Dr. Jenkins, concerning the meaning of the epithet ** Faker,” Mr. Morson opened the case for the defence. He contended that the word was not libellous in the eonnec- tion in which it was published. There was no mention of cheating or swindling. The inuendo waa that the public had been hoaxed by Dr. Strickland; and in this sense the use of the word was justifiable. He detailed several occasions upon which, as he alleged, the plaintiff had failed to come to time.

R. Hunt, George B. Maceachen, J. J. Davies, George Hibbett and Albert Large, were, up to the hour of adjournment, to- day, called by the defence.

Chancellor von Caprivi, in supporting the army increase bill a few days ago, declared that experience showed that when war threatened it was best for Germany to take the offensive. Itis a good job for the peace of Europe that only one power pro- duces a ruler of such brutal frankness. Two of them getting on different sides would surely set the war torch burning.

A Terrific Storm.

Great Damage to Property AND LOSS OF LIFE.

Trieste, Jan. 17.

A terrific storm has swept this city. Since ten o'clock yesterday morning sleet or snow has fallen incessantly and the wind has blowa a hurricane. Tiles and chimneys were blown into the streets and four tramcars tumbled from their tracks. It has been impossible for vessels to enter the harbor. An Italian barque tried to come in and was battered by fee and wrecked in sight of her dock. She foundered with all on board. An English barque went ashore an hour later just outside the harbor and four of the crew drowned. Fifty persons were injured by falling trees and chimney tiles,

General Telegraphic News.

Orrawa, Jan. 15.—The Canadian Militia Gazette advocates a long distance marching competition, participated in by teams from Montreal, Toronto, St. John and Halifax, and thinks the imperial troops might compete,

Quesec, Jan. 15.—The question of abolish- ing the Legislative Council will be up in the Lower House before very long, J. P. Cook, conservative member for Drammond, having

iven notice to that effect. From what can learned in ministerial circles, it is not supposed the Government will make it a party question and if they take this course the abolition of the needless chamber will certainly be voted by the popular branch.

Lonpox, Jan. 15.—A despatch to the Central News from St. Panl De Londa says : ‘“‘A train crowded with Europeans and natives halted on the Congo railway near Madtandia recently. The engine was detached to join a wagon loaded with fifty-four boxes of dyna- mite and eighty-two casks of gunpowder. The engine moved down the grade with great aes and collided with the wagon, exploding

e dynamite. Fifty persons were killed.

Vienna, Jan. 16.—Barglars last night entered the residence of Frau Marie Poecher, a rich suburban land owner, and murdered her. They then looted the house. The murdered woman was ninety yeare old. It issurmised that she came upon the burglars while they were engaged in packing up valuables, and that thy killed her to prevent her giving aa alarm. The poliee believe the crime was com- mitted by men who were acquainted with a habits, perhaps personally kucowa to

er.

Rome, Jan. 16.—Pope Leo is preparing an encyclical to the Awericun episcopate appropos to the ecclesiastical diffsrences existing there, and advising harmony and union.

Panis, Jan, 14.~The police deny fresh prosecutions are pending, and that new ar- rests will be made for complicity in the Panama Canal frauds.

Nice, Jan. 15.—The employees of the Monte Carlo casino tried on Wednesday to steal 260,000 francs while the money was being carried to the cashier. Sixteen men, including seven croupiers, were arrested. It is reported that a small dynamite cart- ridge was found in the pocket of a watch- man who was locked up.

Vienna, Jan. 15.—The Wiener Tagblatt publishes what is claimed to be an inspired synopsis of the Franco-Russian convention that was signed by France and Russia last November. _ According jto this convention each nation in the event of war is to place 600,000 troops in the field within six weeks. Ultimately each country is to place 1,200,000 soldiers in the field. Neither nation is to conclude a peace without the other also agreeing to it.

Bruss£1s, Jan. 15.—'Lhe vill of Hersta three and one-half miles northeast of ay was thrown into a state of excitement yester- day the explosion of a bomb that had been placed outside the residence of a mine owner. Phe force of the explosicn was terrific, and the house was badly shattered. Fortunately no one was injured, Though there is no clue to the perpetrators of the outrage, the police be- lieve that the explosion was the work of the same men who attempted to blow up the Catholic club at Seraing on Tuesday last.
