Death of Father McGillivray.
Wirn great regret we convey to our readers the intelligence of the death of the R \ Alex ioder MeGillivray, which occurred to-dayat a quarter to twelve | o'clock. On Sunday, the 17th ult., he was first taken il] and his disorders | soon assumed a very critical form During the past week, however, he im-| proved rapidly and his physicians | became hopeful of recovery. Last night a violent reaction set in. He was seized with congestion of the lungs which result-
— - ed tatally.
Father McGillivray was a native of the County of Antigonish, in Nova Scotia. aud at the time of his death was
in the 38th year of his age and the eigl th |
hi : | year OF his pi estinood 7
[lis course of studies was made in his wative Province, with the Jesuits in Maryland, and at Quebec He begun

He | was open asd fearless in advoc: ting bis principies,and what he taught he practis ed.

and in days of his great illness his en- | : |
quiries Were ever about the Bishop, who! was indisposed, and any who were ill | about him. |
All objects calculated to promote the well being of the community, either | spiritual or temporal, were sure to meet | with his earnest encouragement.
He has paseed to his rest in the bloom | of manhood and in the midst of a career | fall of usefulness and promise. Long} will the Roman Catholic Congregation of | St. Duastan’s mourn the loss of their | dear and faithful Pastor, and throughout | lopg years to come the people of Char- | lottetown will cherish in fond recollection | and esteem, the memory of Father | McGillivray.
GIES Sek) CAS CE ORS The Scandaimongering Party. |
Trovacnu the case is now before the Courts, where it will be duly tried, the| Toronto Globe and the Patriot of Char-| lottetown continue the publication of | comments upon the Section B. Slander. | They Jose no opporiunity of impressing} the lie upon the public mind. This) discreditable conduct is quite consistent with the record of the Grit party. As every one at ali conversant with the political history of Canada well knows the career of the standard electors has been marked from the very beginning by misrepresentation and slander. For twenty years its leaders had been de- claring the utmost purity of intention, aud promising the people that if the con- | trol of public affairs were placed in their | hands, they would elevate the public | standard so high that even the most} sceptical would be compelled to ackaow- | ledge it. -Of course they avowed them| selves aciutted not by selfi-h but by the! purest and most patriotic motives. Ou | all occasions, and at all times, they were | ready to condemn their political oppov- ents, while with up-lifted hands and up-| turned eyes, they, like the pharisee of old, offered thanks that they were not as other men.
At last, by means of their fair promises and foul slanders, they suc- ceeded in accomplishing their ends. Sir John MeDonald’s Government was de- teated. An election followed, and Mr. McKenzie and his friends came into power with flying colors—with a majority large enough, and -apparently solid enough, to carry out some, at least, of the many reforms about which they talked so glibly when iu opposition. Bat, no sooner did the Grit government begin to live, than it began to die. The moment the people began to realize the grave mistake that had been hastily com- mitted, in handing over the destinies of a great country like this into the hands of inexperienced aud incompetent mer, from tnat moment, the * Organized Hypocrisy” was doomed. Constituency after constituency declared against them, our own Queen’s County among the rest, until, finally, the great day of reckoning arrived, when the party of incapables were indignantly hurled from power.
Since then the Grit Leadership has changed hands, and with it some of the tactics of the party have been abandon- ed, but in the main they are the same. Weighed in the balance and found want- ing was the verdict rendered on che 15th September, 1878; and that verdict has never been revoked, nor is it likely to be for ihe next twenty years at least. The present generation of Grits can no longer pose as purists, for their five years record diseloses a condition of bare-faced job- bery and corruption unequalled in the history of the neighboring Republic. With no policy of their own to recom- mezd them to the consideration of the people, their leaders depend nuw entirely upon slanders, old and new, in the hope that some day or other they may get into power again.

. ' i cs which is quite characteristic of Grit dishonesty and lack of fairplay. On
the 4th of May last, in the House of
‘Commons, Sir Charles Tupper delivered

‘‘[ may say in relation to that matter, that I stated in the House on a former oceasion, that we expected to make a large saving, something hke $590,000, on Section
2 and something over $1,000,000 on Section ‘‘B.:’ and I am glad to be able to say that those contracts will be completed,
'and that the charge upon the country will
amounts which I have stated. They will be completed with a very large margin under the original amount which was contemplated on the extension of the prices when the contracts were let.”
Mr. Blake was present and heard these statements from the lips of the Minister of Railways himself. He, spoke too, at length in reply, criticising the Railway Policy with all ingenuity of an able special pleader ; but not one word had either the Contract o1
on *Section B.” No
great Go.erument the foree and
the Contractors
sooner, however, was Parliament pro- rogued, than the Globe, the leading organ of the Grits, came out with its
pretended revelations of Government corruption. Could anything be more cewardly and cootemptible than this— the latest attempt of Grit scandal- mongers to gain popularity by trying to blacken the characters of men infinitely superior to themselves — men whose honest, patriotic endeavors to make Canada a great and prosperous country will be remembered by a grateful people leng after the petty tradacers of public life are forgotien?

—Public expenditures go on increas- ing in the United States, even in those services in which there should be a de- crease. Thus we are told, that in 1875, the pensions paid amounted to $29,980,- 000—last year they amounted to $116,- 000,000! Jobbery resulting from party
|exigencies is set down as the cause of
this enormous increase. No doubt, the Republican Party will be called to ac-
| count at the next election.

The Drowning Accident at Richmond Bay.
We publish to-day some of the evidence taken by Dr. Jarvis, at the inqfest held in view of the bodies of the victims of the sad drowning accident at Richmond Bay. It will be observed that the ‘accident was mainly due to one of those on board rdck- ing the boat, and that had those on shore, or even those on board the boat, possessed any presence of mind the dreadful conse- quences might have been averied:—
tANDOLPH ARBING (Sworn)—I was with them in the boat, a little flat boat with no oars. All were out together and the boat commenced te sink. I told them the boat was going to sink, and L[ jumped out and found no bottom. The boat ther. went over, and all were thrown into the Water. Three vf us held on tothe boat as long as we could. The rest disappeared. Two of us were taken off by another boat. There were three holding on to the boat at first besides the two of us who were rescned They lost their hold and went under. The boat kept turning over and over. The boat was rocking from side to side when I jump- ed out, and I found no bottom. Isang out to them that I cannot touch bottom. They were alarmed and were sinking.
Emma Reeves (Sworn)—I was out in the
boat. There were eight of us. We went ovt for amusement. After getting out a 'short dis‘ance, commenced to rock the boat. The water then began to come in
aud the boat very soon began to sink. We were all very soon thrown into the water. We all caught hold of the boat at firat. I saw some of them sinking. One held on longer than the rest. Margaret Ellen George held on Jonger than the rest. The others went under the water. The boat went over us and I saw Margaret Ellen George floating off a piece. I got hold of the boat again. The boat went over a couple of times with us two holding on to it, when we Were rescued by another boat. { was at one end of the boat. We did not think the water was as deep as we found it. I thought it was about up to my waist. I heard some of them exclaim ‘‘We shail be drowned. ”’
Parrick Brenan, (sworn)—I, in com- pany with James Whelan, rescued Rou- delph Arbing and Emma Reeves, and picked out the bodies of the drowned man and women with an oyster rake. The bodies were in six feet of water.
James Reeves, (sworn)—I was bathing a short distance from the scene of the acci- dent but I could not get nearer thana chain and therefore could render no assis- tance.
The Jury returned the following ver- dict :-—
** That the deceased Edmund Reeves, Annie Reeves, Margaret Ellen George, Mary Jane Drummond, Mary Arbing, and Mrs James Arbing, on the 28th day of June, in the year aforesaid, being on Richmond Bay in a flat boat, which was casually and by misfortune upset, causing them, the said parti-s, to be thrown into the water, and there suffocated and drowned, aod, so the Jurors aforesaid, upon the oath aforesaid, do say that the said parties, im manner and by th: m ans aforesaid, came to their death, and pot otherwise,

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. |

Nuisances.
Dear Sin, —-Much is said, and especially at this season of the year, when their blighting intluences are most keenly felt, upon the subject of nuisances. People ominously shake their head, and comment upon the obnoxious vapors which here and there asaail them, and vent their indigna- tion generally upon those guardians of the public, the police. We would venture to affirm that were private individuals as atten tive to the laws of health as Marshall Flynn and his staff are to the calls of the com- munity, there would be fewer cases for the doct »r and the undertaker. Iread, threvgh your columns, an able, convincing, and | should say, mest unselfish article from the pen of one of the class most likely to profit by the laws of hygiene (Dr. McLeod), in which he exposed the abominable practice of disseminating disease through the deep pits, or sinks, which corrupt our water sup- ply. Another flagrant evil is love of filthy surroundings. A case,which I hope for the honor of Charlottetown, has few parallels, has just occurred. A gentleman of good standing engaged to rent a house for one year from an agent, who promised to make the place thoroughly comfortable. After both labor and expense upon their part, the family entered the dwelling, but were, one after the other, taken sick, from having incautiously dared to open the back win- dows tor ventilation, thereby ibhaling the loathsome odors from the green-coated cess- pool in the yard, sent in from said agent’s slop pails and waste-water pipe. And yet (tell it not in Gath) this man clothes him- self in broadcloth (not sackcloth) and fall- ing down every Sunday upon his knees be- fore God's alter, confesses himself ‘‘a miser- able sinner,” then goes forth fully charged to sow the seeds of disease and death; and when his tenant, a person of moral rectitude and decency, expostulates, retorts that ‘* if he cannot endure the noxious effluvia, he can vacate the premises.”
In the cities of Europe and America the laws in regard to cleanliness are most rigid ly enforced, and however much individuals educated in filth may delight toe wallow therein, they cannot obtrude their nuis- ances upon their neighbors. There are laws to punish the poor wretch who, goaded on by insult and abuse, rids the earth of a tyrant, but what laws save those of Omni- potence, can fully puvish the still baser man, who would poison the blessed gift of agracious Heaven, pure air, and force upon his neighbor in lieu of that, his obnoxious filth?
I am, Sir, Truly yours, Ch’town, July 4, 1888.

DIED.
At Cavendish, on the 23rd June, after a short illness, George Harken in the 87th year of his age. Deceased was a native of Lan- arkshire, Scotland, and came to this Island in the year 1820. Shortly afterward he settled in Cavenuish where he remained until the time of his death. He was much respected by all who knew him, for his honesty and industry, and unobtrusive manners. He was, doubtless, one of the last of those hardy pioners of our country who immigrated at that time, whose energy and perseverance reclaimed our little Island from its wilderness: state, and of whom we, their children and great- grandchildren, have such just reason to be proud.
