THe Daty EXAMINER. JULY 19, i883.
The Ha:ifax Biection
Tue Grits have decided not to puta Candidate in the field to oppose Mr. Stairs in Halifax County. Many reasons are alleged for this decision on the part of the Liberals of Halifax. They ex- pected to be able to bring out Mr. A. G. Jones, the sugar King of Nova Scotia.
But Mr. Jones has declined most em- phatjcally to accept a nomination on| the ground that his business engage- ments were such as to _ prevent his accepting it at present.
In the election of 1878, Mr. Peter Mitchell. the Conservative candidate,
was defeated by a Mr. Suowball, in Northumberland County. At the last Dominion Election, Mr. Snowball’s busi-
pess epgagements were also such as to)! prevent his accepting the Liberal
nomination. Then,Mr. Mitchel! was re- tarned by acclamation, and now Mr. Stairs will also be returned by acclama- tion.
Both Mr. Saowball and Mr. Jones have learaed the value of the National Policy ; and in declining to take the field against it ou the ground that they have “too much to do,” they gave the most positive evidence that could be adduced as to the advantages it affords.
ss Laleenereetiongechethiaaainieinted The ‘ Herald” Throws Up The Sponge.
Ix a very elaborate three-column ar- ticle, the Herald proves conclusively that, 6u the queStion of patronage, which it has raised, it has “‘no case.”’
As to the principle laid down by Tur EXAMINER that “appointments should be made independently of religious consid- erations” it Says “the Herald and Exam- INER agree with wonderful ypanimity.” Then, why all this fuss? Why brand officials as ‘‘Protestant”’ and *Catholic.’ Holding this principle, how can the Herald clamor because the lately appoiat- ed Auditor is not a Catholic? If the priuciple is sound—-and the Jerald ad- mits that it is—why raise the mischie- vous ** religious cry”?
But the ,Herald strongly charges that Catholics are excluded from office because they are Catholics—that, ad- vised by a clique of Protestant wire- pullers, the Government do not make appointments independently of relig- ous considerations. This is one of the gravest charges that could possibly be brought against the Government ; ard if true, we are sure that every enlightened man in the community, Protestant as well as Catholic, would denounce the Government on account of it. We say: let the charge be proven; bring forward the facts on which it is based; ** pame one single Catholic who has been refused a situation op account of his religion!” Here is the Herald's reply:
‘* How childlike our contemporary has grown of late; how simple, how unsophisti- cated.”
But, says the Jerald, how can Tue EXAMINER account for the fact that since Confederation sixteen Protestants have been appointed, aud only one Catholic? The answer is simple. The statement is not true. Of the sixteen officials in the Herald's Protestant list, four, viz: Mr. Coleman (who has been in the railway service Over twenty years), Mr. Bremner, Mr. Strong, and Mr. Nash, were appointed before this Province entered the Confederation ; three more, viz: Judge Palmer, Judge Alley, and Paymaster Davies, were appointed by the Grit Administration whom it is vow useless to attack and iv whose defence we are not concerned; and, as we have already pointed out,the name of the legal adviser of the Government (for the time being) ought not to have been placed in it.
Let a fair comparison of the officials pow in the service be made, and it will be found that of those appointed by the Liberal-Conservative Party, a large pro- portion are Catholics. After the Lieutenant Governor, the next three most highly paid officials are Catho- lics. The best office here in the gift of the Government since the Party gained power in 1878, was given to a Catholic. Several other honorable and remuuera- tive positious have been given to Catholics within the last term of the Liberal-Con- servative administration, and it is not pretended that in the minor oflices, which aré much sought after, the Catholics have pot a fair representation.
{n fact, there is neither positive por negative proof of the Herald's charge that Catholics have been “ostracised

THE DAILY
Too Ambitious
Tue arbitrary conduct of Admiral Pierre is likely to be the origin of hostile relations between England and France. For some time back, England has been walking, with jealous eye, the ambitious policy of the latter in its desire to ap- propriate foreign possessions. ‘Tonquin ‘aud a large portion of Western Africa, have been rapidly overrun with French }troops, without hardly any opposition ‘and lately the Island of Madagascar was proclaimed. And doubtless all ‘along England has been quietly watch- |ing an opportunity to interfere and put |an end to these aggressions. The blun- | dering and stupidity ot a swaggering | Freoch Admiral has aroused a storm of ‘indignation which is daily increasing avd which is supported by the leading organs of Great Britain.
The Times declares that Admiral Pierre's conduct was a monstrous act and an outrage. The Standard says
that the French officials in Madagascar lost sight of what was due to civilization. The Telegraph appeals somewhat face- tiously to ‘French chivalry,” and in high sounding alliteration calls upon France for ‘*Repudiation, retraction, and repara- tion.” The Jrish Times demands that the penalty which is to be visited upon the perpetrator of this national affront should be swift and signal. The Dublin Express says:—“The French Govern- ment evinces a desire to treat the British officials and subjects in a manner which it will be difficult for a great power with avy sense of its own dignity and self- respect not to resent.”
From the above, which but echoes the general feeling of the people, it can be seen that the wrath of the British Lion is really aroused. The Paris papers are equally hostile and acrimonious, and everything is pointing to a rupture be- tween the two great countries. It is said that never since the Battle of Waterioo has the latent animosity, that always exists between Britain and Gaul, been in greater danger of springing into action.
Presentation.
On the evening of the 16th inst., a very respectable and influential deputation wait- ed on the Rev. Joseph Pascoe, at his resi- dence Montague Bridge, and presented him with the following address :—
To the Reverend Joseph Pascoe :

REPLY.
GENTLEMEN,—Your kindness to me, as ex- pressed in your address and the donation following it, are so spontaneous and geverdus in their nature, that I feel embarrassed to find suitable words to convey to you my sense of gratitude for this manifestation of your good feelings towards me.
I regard this act of yours not only as in- dicative of your benevolence, but also as the result of a moral influence which commands respect.
Your kind reference to Mrs. Pascoe, com- bined with your expressions of sympathy for us will not fail to find a proper response in our hearts.
Allow me, for her and myself, to thank you sincerely for this demonstration of your friendship and good wishes, and to assure we shall never fail to cherish for you feelings of esteem avd love. lL remain, Gentlemen,
Yours faithfully and affectionately,
from office on account of their religion” ; and it therefore falls to the groaud.
This being the case, may we not be| pardoned if we presume to doubt the existence of the powerful Protestant clique of wire-pullers which, it is charged, have misled the Government into bestowing all the first-class offices upon their co-religionists, and have ex- cluded Catholics from office on sccount of their religion? In the appointments made, there is no evidence of the exist- euce of such a clique; and we are very sure the ‘intelligent and practical men”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
** Satisfactory!” Sir,—A_ paragraph in your paper of | Wednesday last states that the City Marshal visited over forty places where liquor was suspected of being sold in vio- latien of the Scott Act, and that he found all the premises satisfactory! What are we to infer from this, Mr. Editor? Can it be that onr vigilant police force, with such a shrewd man as Marshal Flynn at their head, have been altogether mistaken in “suspecting” that liquor was being sold in these forty places which they visited! 1 think it is due to the proprietors of these houses that the Marshal should make another) our, and apoloigze to each of them for having even so much as ‘‘suspected” them of selling liquor against the law. But I would like to ask the Marshal if he is thoroughly satisfied that there is no liquor sold in any of the places which he visited simply because he saw none whilst on his tour of inspection? The very fact of the City Marshall giving the tavernkeepers warning on Monday that he would inspect their premises on Tuesday proves the whole affair was a farce from beginning to end. In order to make his premises ‘'satisfac- tory,” all the tavern keeper had to do, was to see that none of his liquors were exposed when the inspector came around, and it is very probable they all did so, as it is not likely there is one of them so stupid as to have his bar in operation at a time when he expected an official visit from the City Marshal. I donot know whether I have grasped the proper meaning of the last sentence in your paragraph or not. I ‘‘suspected” when I first read it, that it was intended asa piece of sarcasm on the in- spector and his men. If it was, it would apply to many others as well as to them, as there are dozens of men in Charlottetown who often visit ‘‘over forty places suspected of selling liquors,’’ and pronounce every one of them satisfactory—to themselves, at least. Yours, ete. JAMAICA, Ch’town, July 19, 1883.
