WaR!
Desrire the concerted and persistent efforts of the Great Powers of Europe, war detween Greece and Turkey has brokeu out. As usual in such cases, each party ‘a the fight blames the other for having struck the first blow. The question now ‘3, will the Powers stand aside and let the belligerents fight it out alone ? The people of all with
‘Greece,-while al] the Mussulmans may be
Christendom sympathize expected to take the part of Turkey. Will itbe possible for the rulers of these oppos-
ng millions to dissuade taem from active
interference, or willthey be drawn into the contest? Jn the event of the fight going against the Turks,
each of the Great Powers will, of course, have ashare in the dismemberment of
Tarkey in Europe. This is an event ewhich is pregnant with the danger of a Ono
hand, if the fight should go against Greece,
general European war. the other
4Sreece will have to make the best terms she can with the conqueror; and in the making of the terms, the European Powers
will, of necessity, have a part. This may,
and not unlikely will, lead to international
gealousies and complications out of which
@ general European war may come. So
tbat the situation created by the war
pag Greece and Turkey is, in any ]
event, full of danger.
The progress of the war wil! be watched
with the most intense interest. _———— ——. «> = —- ——_—_
‘CONFLICTING AUTHORITIES.
— ee
‘The Pioneer says :—
“An appeal to the highest Dominion tri- tjunal confirmed the previous finding, declared Hackett guilty of bribery, of breaking the laws; yet in spite of al! this Tae Examiner sends forth a perpetual wail—*Oh the wrongs of poor Hackett.” Qur contemporary tries to work oo the feelings of justice-loving electors, then to work on their sympathies; darethe writer assert that Hackett failed to get justice, aad who would sympathize with a violator o£ the law except birds of like feather. In this contention we believe that right- thinking men will use the old adage, modi- fied to suit: Let justice be done though even Hackett should fall. Ths electors of West Prince will doubtless show their
reciation of honor and justice by leaving Beckett at home to spend the eve of his days in calm, peaceful retirement.” # Now this is what Sir Henry Strong, Chief Justice of Canada, says :—
(b) “I ADMIT rar THE OFFENCE @ROVED IN THE PRESENT CASE WAS OF A ‘WesvIAL AND UNIMPORTANT CHARACTER, AND ‘ME APPELLANT WAS ACQUITTED OF ALI. THE QYUWER CHARGES OF WHICH THE PARTICULARS @USTAINED A GREAT NUMBER.”
Then he says that,—
(ce) “It is shown that he (Hackett) did ‘wanounce at public meetings that he aranted the election to be carried on pro- erly and WARNED HIS SUPPORTERS AGAIN:T WE COMMISSION OF ILLEGAL ACTS.
Farther on he says:
<a) “The bottle of whiskey was in the tsaggy, but it was not shown the appellent ( Hackett) was aware of the fact.”
According to Sir Hevry Strong, Mr: Piackett, himself, did nothing that was werowg. ‘On the contrary, acCording to Sir Heary, he was “acquitted of all other «msrges,” including all personal charges. Wet the Pioneer states that Mr. Hackett iaas been “declared guilty of bribery !”
Sic Henry Strong admite, too, that “the .ai¥eace”—not Mr. Hackett’s offence, but dest of one who was adjudged to be an agent—was of a trivial and unimportant <baracter.”
Wet in the face of these statements and adniseions of the Chief Justice of Canada, ‘The Pioneer has the impudence to tell the geeple of Tignish that they will show “(.eir appreciation of honor apd justice” a they vote Mr. Hackett down as “being
OUT OF 2.000
guilty of bribery” anda breaker of the laws |
Mr. Hackett has not been proved “guilty of bribery ” or of ‘‘any breach of the aw.” He has been deprived of his seat on account, merely, of the “ trivial and unimportant act "—of anotl e¢ person !
By the way, itis to be noted that the Patriot declines to discuss the judgment of the Supreme Court of Canada with Tue Examiven—even though, in the beginuing it tauntingly invited a discussion! Fron this fact we infer the Patriot’s practica admission that the judgment will not bea: discussion,
NOTES AND COMMENTS.
_—-Wouldn’t it be as well for Su:nmer-
side to postpone the establishment of a pork packing establishment until after the saccess ot that of Messrs. B. & M. Rat- tenbury in this city -has been assured? One such establishment in this Province may do very well; two may cause the failare of both.
—It bas been proposed that Montreal or some of its enterprising people shall build avice regal residence and induce the Governor General to come to that city to live. The Star remarks that * It would advertise Montreal abroad. it would at seasons atiract visitors. It would stimu- late trade amongst all who benefit by anything that gives a stimulusto social festivities—shopkeepers, hotels, railways, carters and many oilers would all benefit by it.”
—Dr. Jordon, president of Stanford University aud one of the British-Ameri- cans Behring Sea Commission, recently delivered at Cornell University a lecture on the Alaska Fur Seal, in which he spoke in very harsh terms of the Paris Tribunal under whose finding the present status of the seal question. has been reached. He called it a farce; said it had brought contempt upon the name of arbritration ; and declared that in the list of regulations drawn up by the Tribuo:1 for the preservation of the seals, there was Ouly one of any value whatever, that one, namely, which provides for a revision of the regulatious every five years.
— By holding the Nova Scotia elections previous to the announcement of the tariff it is hoped that the Liberals will gain the support of those who feel that protection has been a benefit to Nova Scotia’s import- ant industry, without sacrificing the friend- ship of any of the theorists whothink that protection is a wickedness. To aid Premier Murray in playing his double role tothe end, the Liberal Government at Ottawa, as the Montreal Gazette remarks, disregards the interests of the whole country, keeps Parliament busy discus- siug euch second and third-rate questions as the frapchise and superannuation, and lets commerce and those concerned in it look to themselves. This businesss is business administration that the last.elec— tions loaded on Canada, is strongest where the business itis inis smallest. Still the trick maust be regarded as rather clever.
A Disastrovs Cottision.—Captain P. H. Hanlon, formerly in command of the Plant line steamer Olivette, now in com- mand of the new Pant steamer La Grande Duchesee, running between New York and | Savannah, met with an adventure on the outward trip to Savannah on April 9, about 135 miles south of Scotland light- ship, ina dense fog. His vessel wae in collision with the bark Nellie Smith, bound to New York with a cargo of sugar from Sagua. The bark was cut in two and sank in five minutes. Captoin Dodge, first and second mates and two of the crew were drowned, and three of the crew were rescued, and the passengers on the Duch- esse subscribed $175 to be divided equally among the men.

DAVID HIGGINS.
Another of the veritable Fathers of Hyde Park,Mr. David Higgins, passed away on Thureday, April 8tb, after a con- tinement to his house of some weeks, by sickness, from what is known asa “dilated heart.” But few more of the very early residents of this town remain as voters, Mr. H. Clausen Fisk of Pond street,—Mr. Henry Rich.
Mr. Higgins was bern in Stanhope, P. E£. [., Apr: 21, 1828, and came to Boston in 1853. Lecorirg interested inthe project ‘ora new se! | ment of the River side of Milton, so 1826, he, as one of the “Twenty
\ssociates” broke ground near the top of Beush Eil’, now known as Fatrmount. he land had been part of @ scraggy pas- ure, owned by Deacon Tacker of Milcono, slways open tosun and rain. What a change have these pioneera lived ta see, tor lo! “The litt'e one has becene a thonsand,” te. timea told !
In April 1857 he was marri.d to Mice Antoinette W. Harridan, whom he brou, ht to the little cluster of dwellings (in which be had driven the first nail) as the first bride. Together they worked, and endure ed and blessed as only pioneers can. The first school, the first prayer meeting, were held in bis house. And when at Mr. Hanneford’s house, now Mr. Arch McGregor’s a Baptist Church was organ- ized, Mr. Higgins and wife became con- stituent members, and threw their evergies into its growth. A “minister at large” was he, warming up the hearts of the dis-
couraged, the sick and the newly arrived ones, and to the last ready to hold outtbe hand of welcome to every honest comer, to what might be called, his home lot.
Durivg the Civil War he responded to the call for “nine months’ men,” and leaving camp at Readville with Company A. 6th Regt. M. V. M., did bis best for his adopted country. From the formation of the G. A. R. post here he was, with the mem bers, alive to their interests as he had been to the cause which took them to the field. Mr. Higgins was a man of convic- tions, and had courage to stand by them ; yet rarely was his speech other than as * grace seasoned with salt.” His beam- ing face and calm self—possession gave assurance t0 many a wavering purpose, many @ weary invalid. He will be missed. —Hyde Park, Mass., Times, April, 9th.
[The subject of the above notice was a son of the late Cornelius Higgins, of Stan- hope, and an uncle on her mother’s side of Mrs. (Principal) L. Miller of this.city. Mr. Higgins, with his wife, visited the Island afew years ago avd spent some weeks revisiting the scenes.of his youth. We are pleased to hear him so highly spoken of in the place where he settled as one of the founders. To his widow we extend our sincere sympathy. }

HUSTLING IN .MILLINERY.
The People’s Store—Grand Faster Display.
“Working late and early ‘with six able assistants to.du as [ promised in order to let as inany of my customers have their bats and -bonnets for Easter Sunday as possible. I have — thirty-eight- orders promise! for to-night, but I am afraid some will be disappointed.” The above were the words used bv W. A. Weeks & Co’s head milliner, Miss Murphy, who seemed to be in the midst of a profusion of hats, hate, hats of every conceivable color rand Kind, and boxes and boxes of elegant flowers which were truly beautiful. A common saying very frequently used by the lady custemers—wel! your hats are the prettiest and vour flowers the most gorgeous in town. I have beem in every store and yours are the best. Qnite a compliment for Weeks & Co. The store was a busy scene all day Saturday Sut more particularly in the afternoon, like a beehive. Atthe dress goods counterthe clerks were not only showing costumes and dress fabrics but were using their scissors freelv. In Messrs, Weeks & Co’s mantle room are shown all the latest and prettiest styles in epring and summer capes. Handsome velvet capes trimmed wiih jet silk and eatin, broadcloth capes and some very pretty silk erepon were among the ones that attracted the eye. Messrs. Weeks & Co. are making a large show of kid gloves, keeping a full line of Perrin’s celebrated, perfect fitting gloves. Our attention was particularly called to make a note of a special line of black and colored undressed euede kid gloves which is a great favorite at 89c. The interior and windows were trimmed with good taste and by the busy appearance, Messrs. Weeks & Co. or as it is called The People’s Store, is more popular than ever—Morn-
