THE DAILY EXAMINER.

AUGUST 29, 1890.

Merely Untrue. Opposrtion papers have asserted over and over again that the high duties pro- posed to be placed upon agricultural pro- ducts under the McKinley Bill were a result of the N. P. and the ‘hostile policy”

* of Sir John Macdonald. Now we have the

following on the authority of the Washing- ton correspondent of the Toronto Globe :

“A gentleman who holds very close rela- tions both with the State Department and the Committees on foreign Affairs of the two Houses, says in this connection: If the Can- adian Parliament is to be prorogued, the Hitt resolution relative to reciprocity will wn- doubtedly be speedily passed. There is no objection to it. I have seen the attempts of the Tories to create the impression that the McKinley bill was inspired by a desire to in- jure Canada. Nothing could be more ridicu- lous. Canada was not thought of by the framers of that bill, and was not a factor in the discussion of the measure in the House. Mr McKinley has already authorized a state- ment in the Globe that the agricultural sched- ule was suggested by a committee of the American Grange, representing the American farmers, and the Canadian farmer never was thought of in that connection. If you search the debates in the House on the McKinley Bill from the beginning to the end you will not find a single word to show that Canada was considered or thought of in relation to the bill.”

So there is good authority for stating that the McKinley Bill is not a result of the unfriendly policy of Canada, and that the confident and oft-repeated assertions of the Toronto Globe and other Opposition journals are merely untrue.

Notes and Comments. —One rule for getting rich is to mind our own business, says Mr. Dana, of the ew York Sun.

—‘+IT have heard some admirable ad- dresses before the agricultural society,” gays President Northen, of Augusta, Ga., “but a dozen colts on exhibition at the state fair is a better lecture than I have ever heard on stock.”

--Prominent journals in the neighboring republic deem it unnecessary to conceal the real purpose of the ‘“‘unrestricted recip- rocity” agitation ; and acccordingly the Poston Advertiser refers as follows to the grit report that a geveral federal election is impending. :

‘Probably Sir John Macdonald’s decision to dissolve the Canadlan parliament and appeal to the country is good politics. He sees that annexation sentiment is growing stronger every day, and he knows that whenit be- comes strong enough to hold the balance of power between the two chief parties, it will turn him out of office first, whatever it does next,”

—Ruskin’s views of the bicycle were ex- pressed several years ago in a letter not generally known. It has recently been brought to public attention in England and contains the following :—‘* I not only ob- ject but am quite prepared tospend all my best ‘ bad language’ in reprobation of bi-, tri-, and 4-, 5-, 6- or 7-cycles and every other contrivance and invention for super- seding human feet on God’s ground To walk, to run, to leap or to dance are the virtues of the human body; and neither to stride on stilts, wriggle on wheels or dangle on ropes, and nothing in the training of the human mind with the body will ever supersede the appointed God’s ways of slow walking and hard working.”

—A form of inebriety due to the excessive use of coffee is said by a scientist to be on the increase in Germany. Its worst form is found amongst the women of the upper working classes, some of whom consume over a pound of coffee a week. A_ similar danger is said to lurk in the excessive use of tea. Many persons are so given over to the tea habit that the want of tea at any meal inthe day will produce a violent headache. This is analogous to the terrible depression which overtakes the alcohol drunkard when his supplies are suddenly cut off. The excessive use of tea and coffee 1s often due to insufficient nutrition— people seeking in these beverages the stim- ulation which should come from good food.

—The New York Tribune has pointed out that while there has been a gain of thirty-five per cent in the population of that city since the last census there has been a falling off of three per cent in the Clearing House transactions. This decline, is attributed to the fact thaf New York no longer makes the settlements for a great many cities, which now do their business with other financial centres. The tendency to develop a local financial indipendence is not alone characteristic of such cities as Boston, Philadelphia and Chicago, but it is becoming apparent in communities of far less immediate importance. New York has grown rich, as some one has observed, by taking commissions on the wealth of the country, and other cities are now taking advantages of the opportunities which the metropolis has enjoyed so long.

—The Toronto Globe remarks :

“Because it is customary for to. announce that they do themselves responsible for the of correspondents, some people fall into the error of supposing that a news- paper may with impunity publish any sort of stuff, provided it appears as correspondence. The editor simply means to say that he does not necessarily share the opinions of his corres- pondents; he does not expect to avoid the legal consequences of publishing libellous matter. There is a wide difference between publishing Jones’ erroneous views on religion or politics and publishing Brown’s opinion that Jones is ascoundrel of the deepest dye. Upon this point Judge Rose said inarecent case: ‘That the worst of the material is correspondence and not editorial does not relieve thedefendant, for an editor is morally as well as legally re- sponsible for the contents of the paper. Such journalism would go far to reconcile one to a

censorship of the press, if no other remedy be found,’”

editors not hold opinions

All second-class students who intend. taking book-keeping instead of French are requested to present themselves at the Charlottetown Business College and Writing Academy on

_ Monday next at 3 o’clock p. m.

Mrs. Scott-Siddons and Mr. Waller.

Ir ig the general verdict (and in our opinion a true one) that Mrs. Scott-Siddons never appeared to better advantage than she did in the Y. M. C. A. Hall last night. Her remarkable elocutionary and histrionic powers show no deterioration, and the finger of time has but lightly touched her fair person. The audience was only a mod- erate one, in consideration of the event

ance to attract a much larger number cf our citizens. The opportunity of enjoying intellectual treats in Charlottetown is not so frequently afforded that anyone could afford to remain away from that for which go many were grateful last night, and ap- preciated so highly. There is no music on earth like that of a beautiful and cultivated human voice, whether it be heard in the form of song ox in that of reading.

Mrs. Scott Siddons programme embraced a scene from ‘* As you like it,” a chapter from ‘tHandy Andy,” ‘t David Copper- field,” ‘* Innocents Abroad,” ‘* School for Scandal,” and the striking zecitation ‘‘ The Captive.” Every word was spoken with finished emphasis and expression, and the powers of the various writers from whose works her selections were made were seen in all their excellencies and beauties.

Mrs. Sco:t-Siddons was accompanicd by Mr. Waller, her accomplished adopted son, whose wonderful powers as pianist were nothing short of a revelation(o many of the audience. He played an air in A flat from Chopin, No. 13 of Liszt’s famous Rhap- sodies, an air by Rubenstein, and an over- ture by Gottschalk. His playing was masterful, finished, and his powers of execu- tion remarkable.

Applause was generously given to every item of Jast night’s most attractive pro- gramme, and every one left the hall thoroughly pleased and delighted.

A Foolish Speech.

The text of the German Emperor's speech on taking possession of Heligoland has astonished even his admirers. His allusion to the battle of Worth is thought in bad taste. What he says of the naval importance of the island reads as if he had driven a sharp bargain with Lord salisbury. A week ago Heligoland had none but a sentimental value to Germany. To-day, if you believe the Emperor, it is a refuge and a protection against every enemy who may show himself on the German ocean. Still more amazing are his allusions to the Queen as ‘the august lady to whom we owe it that Heligolandis German again.’ ‘ What hasthe Queen todo with it ? ask her wondering subjects. His eulogy on their queen deeply angers the English, or the best of the English, and gives a handle to those socialist radicals in England, with whose colleagues in Germany this Imperial neophyte is always coquetting. ‘She gov- erns her Jand with a far-seeing eye, and with lofty wisdom. She attaches value to living in friendship with me and my _peo- ple. She values German officers, and loves the -tones of German melodies.’ The strongest impression left by the speeches of the Emperor is an impression of vulgar- ity.

U. §$. Admiral Brown, who has lately been at Honolulu, says a strong native party is forming in Hawaii for the purpose of taking the control of the Government out of the hands of foreigners.

A special from the City of Mexico says the Mexican papers are overhauling United tates Minister Mizner, and charge him with responsibility for the failure of peace negotiations between Guatemala and Sal- vador because of his support of the agree- ment prejudical to Salvador.

All accounts, private and official, agree that the reception tendered the Emperor by the Czar and his people was on a scale of magnificence unsurpassed by any previous experience, but public opinion claims that there his Majesty’s triumph ended. His political mission came to naught. Caprivi could make no headway with Mons. De Giers, the Russian minister of State, and the whole diplomatic inter- couse wore a fictitious aud constrained atmosphere. ‘This is the first known in- stance where the Emperor’s mission has failed to bring about desirable diplomatic ends. Advices from St. Petersburg say that the Czar has announced that he will return the visit of Emperor William in October The Czarina, it is declared, will accompany the Ozar.

His Grace Archbishop Cleary referred a few days ago to the vast improvements going on in Kingston and other parts of the diocese, and said that he considered it im- peratively necessary to raise funds to clear off at once the debts due. For this purpose he had negotiated a loan of $200,000 from the Standard Insurance Company ai a rate of 43 per cent., repayable within twenty years. Dr. Cleary, in the course of his speech, deprecated the practice of picnics and bazaars for raising church funds. He said that from a pecuniary point of view they were failures, as more than half of the receipts were swallowed by exponses, which, if contributed by subscriziion, would have materially helped the church without taxing the congregation. He also spoke of the annoyance caused to citizens by the incessant touting for the sale of tickets for bazaars and picnics.

He is at the Davies. _ We clip the following from tho Halifax Chronicle, Aug. 27th : ‘Rose Coughlan, the famous actress, and her manager, John T. Sullivan, were in St. John on Tuesday. Miss Coughlan has been visiting the home of her childhood, P. E. Island. Once more has the German Hmperor set out on afresh journey. His visit this time is to the Czar. His most faithful flatterer in the English press begins to look askance on these continual tourings and such phrase« as “feverish activity” appear in English print. However, the imperial drill-sergeant is now gone to behold the military manceuvers and to inspect the Russian regiment of which he is colonel. No less than four days of holiday soldiering are provided for him, winding. up with what are prettily called country festivitis at Peterhof in company with Alexander III.
