Che Daily Examiner

OCTOBER 3, 1885 The Revising Officer for Queen's

Tae Herald does not question the important fact in the record of Judge Alley to which Tue Examiner has called attention, but says it is * not

aware that, because a Judge’s decision is overruled by a Superior Court, his legal opinion is therefore worthless, or that the people have no confidence in him” ; and continues to urge his appointment in order “to have the administration of the new Franchise Act so provided for as to give no cause for suspicion in the minds of the people that everything is pot square and above board.”

The Herald is evidently pretty hard up for good reasons for the appointment of Judge Alley when it is forced to cast an imputation upon the judgment of the Supreme Court, and to reflect by impli cation upon the character of every other barrister in the Province,—particularly upon those who have a right to anticipate appointment to a position in which it is

necessary that everything should be ‘square and above board.” What does the Herald's argument

amount to? The Supreme Court re- versed Judge Alley’s decision of 1878; the Herald insinuates that in doing so the the Supreme Court was wrong; but assumiog,as we havea fright to assume, that the Supreme Court was right in re- gard to that case, Judge Alley committed a serious blunder affecting the constitu tional rights of hundreds of men; and haviog so blundered,the Herald says, he

should again be appointed Revising Officer, and no other barrister should

have the position,—so that everything may be * square and above board ! ”

This argument is not only insulting to our barristers—it is ridiculous. A man who has blundered once will blunder again; aud the fact of a man having blundered once is certainly not a good reason why he should be placed in a position to commit a similar blunder again. On the contrary, it constitutes a good reason why he should not be ap- poiuted—at least when other men are available.

And, suppose our barristers are open to the imputation of giving cause “for suspicion io the minds of the people that everything is not square and above board,”’ there is provided a means of ap- peal in the event of one of them being appointed. Ifthe barrister appointed be suspected of acting otherwise than **square” his decisions may be tested, aad, if wrong, reversed by a _ superior Court. But if “ any Jadge” be appoint- ed there can be no appeal from his deci- sion. So that there is a check upon a Revising Barrister, who may blunder ;

but there is no check provided in case of

the appointment of Judge Alley—who has blundered, and is therefore likely to bluader again.

The fact that there is an appeal from “Revising Barristers” and no appeal from “ Revising Judges,” seems to us a good reason why Barristers and not Judges should be appointed. All men (even Judges) are liable to err; and any man (even a barrister) is likely to be more careful when he knows that his work is subject to revision, than he is if he is aware that there is no appeal— no possibilty of a reversal of his decisions. It} will be said that a Judge is removed from party influences, and therefore he is the more eligible for @ position in which absolute impartiality is required. But, once appoiated Re- vising Officer, a barrister is just as far removed from party influences as any County Judge—he is deprived of the right to vote, he holds the position for life !

But this matter is one which might well have been left in the hands of the Gov ernment. We see no reason for the Herald's interference ; even if “irrespon sible parties’? were ‘‘wire-pulling,” the Government might, we think, be trusted to deal with them. To question the justice of the Government in a matter of this kind is not the action of a true friend and supporter; and, at any rate, the proper time to cast reflections upon

the Government is after it has done wrong. The Tramp. We have no doubt that an “Old

Citizen” reflects the views and feelings of the community with respect to the per- son who was convicted of en‘ering Mrs. Grady’s bed-room, and who is known as “The Tramp.” This person may be quite sure that if not lynched, as our cor- respondent suggests, he will be so closely watched if he comes to Charlottetown that his life will be abything but pleas- aut; and as it is not necessary that he should live here, perhaps it would be as well for himself if he selected another place of residence. Even if public opinioc be mistaken in respect to him— and while his general deportment is good, the fact that there have been no bedroom raids while he was in prison, is against this hypothesis—it will be better for him not to try to face it in its present mood. The world is wide; and in some other land the person referred to may live a good life, aud gain respect and confidence in his moral honesty.

The Newfoundland Biections.

Tue general elections in Newfound- land will take place on the 31st inst., aud all the papers are full of it. The Montreal Gazette's correspondent fur nishes an interesting column on the situation. He says:

** Unhappily religion has been dragged into the political arena with the usual deplorable results. l'here is really no policy involving the public in- terests and prosperity of the colony to be sub- mitted for decision to the constituencies. It is avowedly a conflict between Protestants and Homan Catholics, pure and simple, The Orange Association, a strong body, aroused by the sad events of St. Stephen’s Day, 1883,in Harbor Grace, demand the formation of a strong Protestant government who will “guard their rights and liberties, and ‘restrain violence and outrage.’ In all districts in which Protestants have a majority only Protestant representatives will be chosen. Of course this puts Catholics on their defence, and they are equally determined that in the dis tricts in which they preponderate only Catholic members will be returned, and these will be pledged to form one compact body who will act as one man. Out of a house of thirty-six members the Catholics will return fourteen and the Pro- testants twenty-two. These numbers are a fair representation of the respective numerical strength of the two bodies throughout the colony. :

Naturally one would have thought that circeum- stances would have compelled the Protestant party, since the battle was to be fought Out on denominational lines, to suppress discords and jealousies and present an unbroken front to their opponents, Had they done so, the day would have been their own; and while giving a fair snare of patronage and place to their Roman Catholic fellew-citizens, as they were bound in justice to render, they would not have been de- pendent on their support in carrying out their policy, and in securing a return tothe social and political quietude which formerly prevailed. There was one obvious method of securing such a Protestant unity by combining under Sir William Whiteway as leader. He was an able and experienced statesman who enjoyed the confidence of the country; he had initiated and carried out a policy of progress by the introduction of railways and docks and the encouragement of native in- dustries, and under it the colony has prospered greatly. In the Halifax Fishery commission he had gained an award of a million dollars for New- foundiand. He had obtained from the Imperial Government a large instalment towards the settlement of the “French shore question,” in the enfranchisement of the population and _ the power of making land grants which had been formerly denied. His conduct throughout the troubles which followed on the Harber Grace riots showed firmeness and impartiality,and prov- ed that the Protestant interests were safe in his hands. Had the Protestant party unanimously accepted him as their leader their victory would have been assured, and under his sway discord would have been banished from theirranks. But the old conservative school of merchants detest his “policy of progress,” and are bitterly opposed to his innovations, public works and local industries which disturb the existing order of things. They thought they saw an opportunity now for his overthrow by entering into an alli- ance with the leaders of the Orange association, some of whom were Sir William’s personal and political foes. A treaty, offensive and defensive, was concluded, and having succeeded in detach- ing Mr. Winter from Sir William’s supporters, they were exultant in the prospect of his com- plete overthrow. But they soon learned their mistake and found that the great bulk of the Pro- testant party were not prepared to see a tried and trusted Jeader sacrificed to serve the ends of such a combination, and that they looked suspiciously on the new alliance. Sir William’s supporters rallied round him, and he has taken the -fieid and manfully faced his foes.

The Protestant party is now hopelessly divided. There is a split in the Orange ranks, and a large number of them will support Sir William, not- withstanding the fact that their Grand Master, Mr, Winter, has deserted his chief, and now leads the Opposition, The new school of merchants. who see the necessity of providing fer a rapidly increasing population by developing the resources of the country and increasing employment, are warm supporters of Sir William and his policy. The old school are moving heaven and earth for his overthrow, The Orange leaders, of course, industriously propagate suspicions of his sound- ness asa Protestant, and hint at his Romeward inclinations, while they and their mercantile allies proclaim that under no circumstances will they ‘amalgamate with Roman Catholics.’ The spectacle presented by such a miserable sec- tarian conflict, in which abuse, misrepresentation and recrimination abound, and the real interests of the country are overlooked, is far from edify- ing. Religious hatred and strife will, for a time at least, be in the ascendant, and vast injury to the public interests will follow. With so many conflicting elements it is difficult to predict the result. That Sir William will come out of the conflict with a large body of followers seems certain from present appearances; but, of course his Protestant opponents will gain a number of seats. The Roman Catholic party are, of course, charmed at the quarrel among Protestants. Things are going exactly as they could have wished. Neither party, they say, will be strong enough to form a government, and they will be able to dictate their own terms to either on condition of giving them their support. Thus, as they confidently antici- pate, the attempt to secure Protestant ascendancy will end in giving them the controlling power. It is not at all unlikely that their anticipations may prove to be well founded.

‘The Tramp.”

Sin—I observe by your issue of yesterday that the notorious character, the tramp, is in town. I think you have been misinform- ed, but he announces that he is coming. He proposes resuming business in our city. Surely there is manhood enough in our community to prevent this! When this man was at large he was a terror to timid people; and for that matter,to. fairly strong- minded ones too. He never would have got a footing here had it not been for the patronage of certain horse-jockeying in- dividuals who considered him a skilful horse doctor and employed him. I have a widowed friend living in the Royalty whose house, | am persuaded, this man entered before he was convicted, and nearly scared her to death. I have no absolute proof that he was the man, but I feel cor- tain of it. If he is allowed ‘‘to prowl” about in our midst, the ouly course my friend has to take is to break up house- keeping and come into town. Others will be in the same situation, I hare all my life been a law-abiding citizen, but there are cases that the law cannot reach, and the only effectual remedy is that “Judge Lynch” has to be called on. The tramp comes here under an assumed name, and acquires a reputation as a skil ful veterinary surgeon, and is patronized by those who delight in horses. If I am not misinformed he was caught in the house of K. Bridges, Eeq , but let off. He was con- victed by a Prince County jury, and sen- tenced by the Chief Justice to one year's imprisonment in the Prince County Jail, which term has expired, or is about to expire.

Now there are two ways of getting rid of this character, if he reappears in our midst, The first and most effective would be: Let us call in ** Judge Lynch,” and if he is found guilty, there are tall trees in the Royalty ! The other is, ‘‘ boycott him.” Let any citizen who harbors or employs him in any way be boycotted. Let such person be isolated and shunned as we would the small-pox. If this is} done, the tramp will soon make tracks for parts unknown.

Your obedient servant, Op Cirizen.
