| Charlottetown, Oct. 2, 1876,

CONTEMPTIBLE COWA RDICE. We can respect a brave foe however much we may differ from him. For men | who are false to their own principles and | no respect We always |

le lie is we have

wish to think well of the Government of |

the country, even when our opponents are in power. “It is with real regret, then, that we see our rulers already have begun to make themselves contemptible to every right thinking man.

On Thursday the Attorney General ond the Provincial Secretary were retura- ed for Charlottetowa. They are safe now. The great Protestant victory, to gulo which, all the forees of religious pre~ ‘udiees and bigotry lent themselves, is ' So the country is now to reap the Two days of solemn Council !

And with what result? Ye Heavens,— that Richard Weeks, John Griffith;

Frederick Hughes, may be turued out of

oflice and three hungry champions of the pure Protestant Government put in! ! We call this cowardice; because we believe, we are sure, that many members of the Government know that this prin- ciple is an utterly wrong one. And yet _ they have not the courage and man- liness to Oppose the w rong and do the right. ‘The voice of justice and right sounded weak to them. The cries and clamor of needy office seekers were too loud. “ Others have done it before !’’ Well, and are evil customs never to be broken? Is there to be one unceasing, monotonous repetition by each Government of the vices of its predecessors ? There are peculiar circumstances at present, which gave a fine opportunity to inaugurate a new state of things. The Civil Service Act of last session, it was ex- pected, would be the beginning of a better system, It might have been, The chance is lost for ever. There is now a coalition Government. It is always easier at such a time not to make changes. The easy act was too heroic for the virtue of our pre- sent rulers. The exclusion of all Catho- lies from office bad statesmanship. When there were a few already in, some even who had rot voted, it would have been a graceful act to let them alone. This has not been done.

The men in power toeday stand con- vieted of this, that when there was a spe. cially good opportunity to break through an evil custom—a custom which in their own hearts and consciences they knew to be evil—they threw that opportunity away ; and by their conduct they have done their best to continue the degradation which attends the polities of any country where this vile system isin force. We do not envy them their thoughts, when they reflect upon what they have done.

>_> - LS FOREVER INCONSISTENT.

Amon@ numerous other difficulties that beset the path of the Mackenzie Ad- ministration at the present time, and which are giving them serious trouble, the British Columbia question is one of no small importance. Our readers are aware that in the agreement of Confeder- ation with British Columbia the building of the Pacific Railway was the principal | feature, aud that it was the promise to build that railway which induced the “ Pacific Province ” to go into the Con- federation. It is also well known that it was in the endeavor to carry out this con- tract with British Columbia that Sir John | Macdonald and his party were hurled from power. But that which strikes us as the most unpardonable inconsistency, are the extremes the present Government are forcing themselves to in order to prove their conduct irreproachable. As before stated, it was upon this gigantic Pacific Railway scheme the Conservative party lost the Government in 1873. The immense outlay to the country which the taxpayers claimed the building and main- tenance of the railway would necessitate —though by Sir John’s scheme not a cent of the actual funds of Government would be required for that purpose—the factious and determined opposition made against them by the Grit-Liberal element, and the charges of corruption made—which, in the heat of excitement, when the peo- ple were only too anxious to grasp at any- thing that would put down what, at the time, seemed to them to be a vast and en- ormous enterprise that would ultimately impoverish the country— became such an eifective weapon against the then Govern- ment, all combined to completely turnfthe tide of public opinion and cause the for- mation of the present Government. These facts are well known. The Reform Party opreed themeclvos an the enbiect sutticient- ly at the time of the crash to make them known, aud they have been keeping the everlasting Pacific Scandal well ventilated ever sinte; continually picturing in the most startling §manuer, the ruinous con- dition the country would have been re- duced to had they not stepped in with their patent purification machine and squelched the Pacific Railway operations when they did.

Bat while all this is progressing, our friends in British Columbia are looking oa with lowering brows; they teel that they are being foully dealt with ; they claim that a contract in which they have fulfilled their part to the letter is being dishonored by the other party to it, and they consequently make their complaint, first to the Government just formed, with which they must deal direct, and then to the home Government. Their first com- plaint is allowed to pass almost unnoticed (as a matter of course) by those who have obtained the fats of office and the purse strings of Canada at their expense. Their next step is made to evlist the sympathies, if nothing else can be obtained, of the Crown. ‘There they are noticed. The great thunderer the London Timex, the Saturday Review, the Pall Mall Gazette, and numerous other powerful journals of Kagland, after due consideration of the case, come to the rescue of, as they term it, an injured and betrayed people. These papers, actuated by a true sense of honor —as it is not at all probable they can have any particular interest or hold any par- tiality—as all Canada is one to them— declare emphatically that Canada is in the wrong, aod that the contract with British Columbia should, in all honesty, be ear- e tied out. The Lion of the Mackenzie Cabinet is aroused. It begins roaring through the columns of the glorious Toronto Globe, and after abusing and maligning Sir John A. Macdonald and his followers until hoarse, it takes a different tack altogether, and states that the original Pacific Railway “Scheme was absolutely defunct, and that faith was broken with British Columbia months before Mr. Mackenzie came into ofice; that Mr. Mackenzie has always been the warm advocate of the Canadian Pacifie Railway ; that the most just and kindly sentiments are entertained by the present Dominion Government towards British Columbia, and so on, whole columns of such falsity. Can anybody, not a lunatic, consider this anything but the grossest inconsistency? The Mac- keuzie party slide into power by dashing to pieces the policy of their predecessors ; and when cornered as to their conduct by unimpeachable authority, they endeavor to prove that that policy was destroyed by those who originated it. Is it ‘not contemptible? Ay, it is more ; it is dis- reputable, a cut-throat game from be- ginuing to end.

THE CATTLE SHOW.

Tue snow or stock on Thursday |

last was, on the whole, very good. In

horses, all classes were well represented, But the class of “ mares and foals ’’ was ex- | So

also were the classes of cart colts and filles,

and carriage fillies ; and the judges had no little difficulty in deciding which was | most deserving of the honor. In the lat

| ter class they did not, in our opinion, hit

lupon the best for first. In the class of

thoroughbred Stallions, the chestnut

horse “ Warrior’? from Kentucky, was

much admired, It seems that through

some bluadering, the judges did not award

‘any prize in this class. The cart stallion

exter, owned by Mr. Glover of Summer- side, and bred by Mr. Devereaux, West River, by the Stockman horse, dam by

Columbus, was a magnificent animal, and well deserved the first prize.

The chestnut owned by Hon. J.C. Pope and the black owned by Mr. Clow were also very fine animals. In the class of blood colts we think the judges clearly erred in their decision. In the two year old class, Mr. MePhail’s colt, which took third, was, in our opinion, entitled to first prize, as being superior in blood points and little inferior in size. Of the year lings, too, we think they choose the big- gest rather than the best.

CATTLE.

In this class of stock, the great advan- | tage which the country derives from the | Government Farm was made manifest. |The splendid thoroughbred Shorthorns and Ayrshires exhibited by our farmers of to-day are in marked contrast with the undersized, underbred, three cornered ani- mals which made up our shows—even a tew yearsago. In the Ayrshire bull class, which was the first that met our eye, were two that would have done credit to their owners in any country. Mr. James Mutch’s two year old was, in our opinion, an animal of conspicuous merit ; and it is unfortunate that he had not been selected with his sire to represent the Island at the Centennial exbibition at Philadelphia. The Local Government has been very remiss in not giving encouragement and aid to breeders of fine stock to send their animals to the world’s exhibition.

Of the shorthorns, there were some very fine animals. In the class of bulls under tea years, one shown by Mr. Pope, though not large, showed very good shorthorn points and good color, but the judges, through ignorance, gave the prize in this class toa grade. The great difficulty in making stock exhibitions successful, is the want of competent judges. We do no wish to say anything offensive to the gentlemen who gratuitously go through a great deal of trouble and expose them- selves toannoyance- We think, however, that the Commissioners made a great mis- take in selecting two judges from each county. One from each county, if it is necessary to admit the principle of sec- tionaltsm at all, (which we are far from admitting) would be sufficient, and two others appointed solely for their ability would be much better.

One of the objects of an exhibition of stock, and, we think, the chief one, is to bring together a large quantity of superior | stock so that buyers and sellers may be mutually accommodated. To carry out this object, it is absolutely necessary to have a Fair extending over several days— three at least. To effect this, permanent buildings should be erected to shelter the stock. We hope the newly created Gov- ernment will earn the commendation of the people by liberally providing for this service in the next session of the Legis- laturer Agriculture is the great, and almost the only, source of prosperity in this Province; and to stimulate and en- courage this indygtry is the duty of every Government. Money should be spent freely. It all comes from the land ; anda good share should go back to it.

CITY IMPROVEMENTS.

To the Editor of the Examiner,

Dear Sir,—I believe that there are few places which have more natural advantages for being made into beautiful cities than Charlottetown ; 2nd I can fancy how the old surveyors, while laying out the wide streets from the water’s edge up along the gentle slope of the hill, then covered with trees and grass, would say to each other, ** What a splendid site for a fine town; what ad- vantages there are along these slopes for drainage; what handsome ranges of build- ings will be made along these streets if the coming generation possess industry com- bined with good taste!’ And yet, alas! if one of those old men should come out of their graves and walk through the town and into the Council Chamber, I feel he would stamp his foot in anger and exclaim : “Is this all you have accomplished in half acentury? Begin to work at once, or it will soon be too late to save your city from epidemic, conflagaration, dirt and ugliness, Consumption bas already sent hundreds of your best citizens to be my companions ip the silent churchyard. The grave is a far warmer home than most of your miserable dwelling houses.’’

The qualifications of a fine city are morality, health, wealth and a good archi~ tecture. We must understand that as morality is not made by the ministers neither is health by the doctors, The doctors are merely an evidence that dis ease is in our midst. If the Councillors wish health to be one of the qualifications of our city they must provide proper drain- age, ventilate the mass of air above us by removing all the factories and their chimney smoke into the vicinity, compel breast- works to be built where people have water property between the wharves, and the mud to be covered, build a short breastwork across the mouth of Beer’s marsh and the marsh will dry up in six months,—then there will be plenty of fresh air in the town, and, as I shall explain hereafter, the Council may compel the people to provide ventilation in their houses. The next duty of the Council, in their attempt to make their citizens have good health, would be to provide means of exerc’se and amusement. If the streets and squares are made agree< able places for walking upon, this would furnish the female part of the population

The working of this Statute Would not interfere with the buildings that gr e present standing, but where Present buijg, ings are not according to the district clay it would be advisable to allow no or additions to be made to them, and whe, buildings are very much in the way gs the West Bog, &c., the Council might permission from the Government by Ag to buy the land where such house, tty built and move the houses into their Proper districts, This naturally beautifal part of the town could then be used for first clay houses and the land ,would increase thes, fold in value. It would be a simple matte to move these small houses in the qj and if the people living in this part of thy town were somewhat separated I haye no doubt but it would increase their morality,

Tenement houses, which seem to be, very abominable necessity,might be in the three classes, Lut in the first typ classes trick partitions should be made bg. tween the tenements.

In this climate of ours, Lam fully convinosg that most of the consumption, catarh and fever which we have throughout the town and country is principally owing tg the slight buildings in which the live. Most of the bedrooms in this tory have a partition between the inside wher the people sleep, and the cold night air outside formed thus: an inch and a half of rough board and shingle with cracks jp the board a quarter of an inch wide, theg four inches of air and then an inch of \ath and plaster with the damp frost clinging to it,,and then likely the bed stands agains this partition, and the wind comes whistling in between the base board and the plaster

and children with plenty of exercise. A park would be very valuable in this way, but, much rather than have a beautiful park outside the city, I would be inclined to vote for expending the money in making the interior of the city pleasant and agree- able. A large field should be secured close to the town, (about Gregortown, some~ where) and kept for public amusement. Almost every city has some large common- land, where the young men may play cricket, lacrosse or quoits; but here all these manly games are assigned to the boys, because there is no proper cricket- field near the town. A good large square is also required near Gregortown; for that part will be very soon thickly built upon. It isa pity that our wide streets are not continued into the country. Between ex, ercise and amusement I will mention baths, Searcely any of our houses have bath rooms, and the supply of water is limited. A good public bathing-hovse, with cold and hot water and shower baths, next to the Steam- boat wharf would be a great boon to the town, and, I believe, if Mr. James Duncan

ALARMING NEWS.

The Times Belgrede correspondent says: “I believe the only chance of peace, and it is no more than a chance, lies in Turkey’s prompt acceptance of all the conditions of the Powers ; that is also her own best policy, for in a week there may be a different army in the Servian field. Hvndreds of Russ‘ans are arriving daily ; for one officer at Belgrade in “the Servian uniform you meet twenty in Russian. The situation is most alarming for the peace of
