Nuisances. WHO SHOULD SEE THAT THEY ARE ABATED ?
Tus Patriot returns to its nuisance ; and it endeavors, indirectly, to create the false impression that the Commissioner of Public Works is responsible fur nuisances in general. What nonsense. Persons who cause nuisances are, of course, responsible, and liable to fine. The Patriot is certainly ‘hard up.” Inorderthat the public may know whose duty it is to see that nuisances are abated, we again quote from the statute in that regard made and provided :
43. ‘‘Jt shall be in the power of each Over seer of a precinct, or Supervisor ef a district, to order the removal of any obstruction, the opening out or the closing up of any drain, ditch or Watercourse which has been wrong- fully opened out or closed up, or the abating of any nuisance in the highways within his precinct or district; and for each such viola- tion of this Act, the person or persons causing such obstruction or nuisance, shall forfeit and pay a sun: not exceeding twenty dollars, or in default of payment to be imprisoned for a pe- riod not exceeding thirty days, and if the per- son $0 Violating the provisions of this Act, does not remceve such obstruction and repair and amend such damage, or abate such nuis-

the same shall have happened, if the incum- brauce be saleable shall, unless sooner claim- ed, after ‘three days’ public notice, sell the same and apply the proceeds in repairing

| Sre,—The Patriot has a long article in condemnation of the appointment of Mr. Alexander Martin, of Belle Creek, to the ‘office of Clerk and Supervisor of the Lunatic ‘Asykim. He insinuates a want of ‘‘skill,” ‘‘ experience,” ‘“‘ humanity,” ‘‘intelligence” and ‘‘discreetness” against Mr. Martin ; and charges him off-hand with ‘‘ignorance,” ‘stupidity,” ‘‘ unfitness,” ‘* greenness,” ‘rawness,’ and much more in the same The fact that Mr. Martin may (have supported Conservative candidates at recent 1S reason enough in the estimation of the Patriot that he should be denounced in _ this fashion. The fact that he has’ been appointed to fill ad situation previously fill- ed by an imported man, adds intensity to the Putriot’s hate. That Mr. Martin shonld {be a man of honesty, education and gentle- manly bearing weighs nothing with your contemporary.

A Reformatory—The Whip.
To the Editor of the Examiner. Sir,—Editors are supposed to know every- thing—but they don’t ; and to lead public opinion—but they sometimes lead it astray. The ExaMINer calls out for a Reformatory, and the Progress and the Argus follow suit. Baunkum! A Reformatory is a humbug.
Jesse Pomeroy, for cutting and wounding,
was sent to a Reformatory, where he proved himself such a good boy—so
theroughly reformed—that two years was taken off his sentence, and the citizens of Boston knew not that he was out, until marks of his handiwork again appeared, culminating in the murder of little Katie Curran. If his parents had loved him wisely enough to vigorously apply the rod, or if he had had a taste of the whip, very probably the beautiful littl Katie Curran would be alive still, the joy of her mother’s heart, and Jesse himself saved from a life- long imprisonment.
Again, you will remember the case of Oxford tiring on the Queen. When a second attempt was made on her life, Sir R. Peel brought ina short Act to meet suca acase. When the third attack was made the prisoner was almost petrified with as- tonishment when he heard the sentence was t» be whipped ; and the whip proved to be a perfect ‘‘ reformatory.” Another attack was never made. A few years ago a man was not safe going through the streets of London ; in an instant he would find around his neck the arm of another man going in a different direction, and two or three others pickingjhis pockets. As a last resource, the whip was tried, and that put an end to garrot robberies. I could give anothercase, even more to the purpose ; but I will come nearer home.
In this city a couple of lads broke into the house of an old lady, and robbed her of £3, old currency. Having such good success, they next broke into the shop of another, who had just received a stock of goods from Halifax. They were brought before the late Judge Jarvis and found guilty. In pronouncing sentence he said he would give them ‘‘a wholesome and salu- tary punishment ;” and that was ‘‘two thirty-nines” each. It was lightly laid on, butit proved quite effectual—a perfect and complete ‘‘reformatory.”
Iam persuaded in these late cases it is not dishonesty, so much as recklessness. One fellow breaks into a house or store, and among hischums he is a hero; an- other, to equal him, will do the same, and so it goes on and on. The whip will change} (all this. It will produce a ‘* wholesome” | public opinion among such fellows, and | prove eminently ‘‘ salutory” to those who} are depredators,

The Armies of Europe.
No wonder Europe is suffering from hard times. The army of each country is a ‘burden that would almost bankrupt a ,continent. Russia has a military force of 3,046,800 men, 600,890 belong- ing to the reserve, and 2,446,800 to the standing army. France has a regular army of 1,689,000 men, |! which with the territorial army of 1,208,-! 0O0VU, makes a total of 2,897,000. In 1882

The Minister of Finance at Fred- ericton.
Norursa could be more gratifying than the demonstration of personal respect for Sir Leonard Tilley, made by the people of Frederiction ; and, as a, contemporary re- marks, nothing could be more encouraging to the younger public men of the Dominion
than the fact which is here iliustrated— that high personal character, in spite of
held a position of prominence, either in the Government of the country or as Lieuten- ant-Governor of New Brunswick. He isa man strong in his own convictions, bold and fearless in expressing them, but courteous to his political opponents in his dealing with public matters. He has had his hard battles during that long political career, and to-day, perhaps more than any man in Canada, he is an object of public at- tention, because of the fact that he is the Finance Minister, and upon him has devolved the duty of inaugurating the new policy adopted by the people at the last elections. Yet in spite of the ef- ferts which have been made to belittle him, he stands to-day so high in the respect of those whe know him personally, that poli- tical friends and opponents alike unite to toda him honor when he returns to his native province. We heartily congratulate him upon this mark of public confidence, and we thank him most sincerely for the lesson which it teaches—that, as we have said, high personal character, even with all the bitterness of our political discussions, is sure to win for a public man the esteem and confidence of his fellow citizens.
