”»

Orrawa, Sept. 12.

At this particular season of the year Exhibitions are held all over Canada, and | with them come a general crop or following _of shows, circuses, medicine vendors, horse racers, cloth peddlers, Hindoo missionaries, etc., each after the mighty dollar. Whi'st P. E. Island happily escapes the great in- flux of the manv kinds of cheats, yet there are a few who venture there against whom I desire to record the following new line of game resorted to by two clever cloth ven- dors a few weeksago. In the county of

farming locality) called the ** Glen,” there lived a wealthy farmer named Mr. Hay, (Squire Sandy), nected for an inordinate love of wealth with which he (Sandy of the ‘*Glen”’) was fairly well supplied. His charitable traits have been so far clothed with a robe of silence, but weak withal in some pvints, and, like his great ancestor Adam, was properly sold by an apparent gentleman of goud address and appearance, who drove especially to see Sandy.

The stranger introduced himself as a Mr. McDonald, from Ottawa,who owned large woolen and other mills, who had made money and wished to retire from city life, | buy a good farm and ** settle” one of his He claimed that his son was grow-

publican canvass, or should it be otherwise, even then we have nothing to fear from the threat, nor from those whose discourteous legislation prompted the threat, inasmuch as the Canada to-day is not the Canada of former days. We are now a consolidated people from the placid waters of the Pacific to the broad shores of the Atlantic, with our own overland railroads and national means of travel and carriage. In proof of this, consider the fact that in 1883 the transit trade of Canada, as carried in bond through the United States, was nearly $70,000,000; in 1884 it was reduced to less than $37, 000,000, and in 1886 it was still further reduced nearly down to $31,660 000; and by reason of our own national highways, the transit trade is yearly grow- ing beautifully less, so that just now retal- iation in that direction does not serve as an efficient scarecrow or bugbear. Canada doesn’t frighten worth a cent at the threat that will further tend to the immediate de- velopment of Canada’s heretofore dormant resources, as the transit in bond trade can be done over our own soi) in the future, instead of being done as it was, over the U. S. soi], in the past. With our winter posts, . ©. R., and other sources of transit, we. may safely conclude that the late blow at Washington will further stimulate our peo- pie and awake them to a clear sense of in- dependence and trade channels, which we have at present and can still further pro- cure, and with increased profit and earnings to ourselves.

The public debt of the colony, which was $1,319,390 in 1876, had increased to $2,- 288,391 in 1886. It is set down at about $11.00 per head of the population. The revenue ranges from one and a quarter millions a year. In 1885 it was $1,900,222, and in 1836 $1,040,424. The principal part of this is from customs. Other sources of revenue are light dues, crown lands, the post office, licenses to public houses, ete. The total customs collections in 1886 were $910,735, on imports valued at $6,- 020,036, or slightly over 15 per cent. Newfoundland has now a representative assembiy of 36 members, elected for four years. Elective institutions were first in- troduced in 1832, when nine electoral dis-

ee now Sandy's theughts were on the great prospect of making a big sale of a | farm ortwo at fabulous prices. In turn ihe freely descanted on his own superior knowledge of men and things, and how he became rich. At this stage of affairs a | i little hand of gambling was proposed and | entered into with right good cheer. When) | Sandy very fortunately gained $300, whilst | ' No. 1 expert lost $1,000, which was all he had by him; but not to be outdone by the | | southern planter, No, 1 agreed with Sandy ‘to go to Cornwall and there and then raise $3, 000 to come and not oaly regain the first loss, but to fleece No. 2 and divide the |

spoil. Sandy did accordingly, having | levery confidence in his friend No,! 1, to whom Sandy, in his own good

judgment of men and things, gave half the borrowed sum, and again re- | newed the work of robbing poor No. 2. Butalas, for poor Sandy’splans. Thus the| ‘**Hay in the Glen was sold, as No. happened again tv have a full hand, clean- | ing No. 1 and the Glen farmer of all, which | was $3325 of Sandy’s cash. This being the ‘hair that broke the camel's back, a row terminated the game, knives being freely 'brandished. Sandy, with his first love No. 1, got into the latter’s team and gave chase to villian No. 2, who haa then dis- appeared as mysteriously as he came. For weary hours Sandy and his good friend No. 1 drove by hill and glen in a fruitless chase, all the while vowing vengence on the Southern planter that had robbed them : both.

Finally Summerstown on the banks of the St. Lawrence was sighted when No. 1 ‘arranged to drive in by a certain route, and 'gave the outraged Sandy minute instrue- ‘tions to go by another route in search of

No. 2, both agreeing to meet at a certain place, and have the rascal arrested for ac- complishing a game that Sandy himself ‘entered upon. And here comes the point : Sandy had seen his Yankee friends for the last time, and arrived at the certain place just in time to learn that the two cloth peddlers had taken a private boat across the river to the *‘land of the free and the home of the brave,” in the fuil enjoyment of the hay sale and the Glensman’s pile. Now the light dawned upon our would-be lucky gambler, and the words of Burns re- minded him in this, his hour of trial, ‘**That the best laid schemes 0’ mice and men aft gang aglee.”” Should a perusal of the above in THe ExaMINER serve to warn the unwary against the enlightened and newfounded ways of robbery, my relating the same will be in order.

THE CLEVELAND BOMBSHELL.

The bombshell discharged at Washing- ton, regardless of whom it struck, was, no doubt, mainly aimed at and intended for the Harrison or Republican party; nor can we say under the circumstances, it may, perhaps, be justified by the adage, ‘** Everything is just in the time of war.” Wicked ee war is now rampant al] over Uncié Sam's States. Hence the late message from the President and the re- taliatory talk, both of which are aimed at the boasting Republicans, and not at all at Canada. If, by a fluke of this kind, Cleve- lend outsails Harrison, or, in other words, robs the Senate of their stock in trade and

tricts were established, returning 15 mem- bers, who held seats during pleasure. In 1836 the four years term was established. In 1854, when responsible government was conceded, the number of members was in- creased to 30. In 1874 a further increase of one member was made, and as the re- sult of the census of 1884 a partial redis- tribution and further increase took place,

making the number of members 36.

The present government of Newfound- land consists of the following persons: Sir Robert Thorburn, premier; Hon. M. Fene~ Jon, colonial secretary; Hon. J. S. Winter, attorney- general; Hon. W. J. S. Donnelly, receiver-general; Hon. A. Penney, surveyor- general.

gn Parnellism and Crime.

A London despatch says that when the Parnell commission begins its investigation application will be made for the release of Dillon on bail to enable him to prepare his defence and appear at the hearing either as one of the accused or as a witness. Appli- cations wil! also be made by Parnell and 84 Parneilite members of Parliament to compel the Times to deliver details ot its charges against each, together with the names of other persons mentioned in the act of providing for the commission. The commission will be asked to compel the Times to produce the originals of the letters published by it, and to make affidavit re- garding all documents on the subject held by Mr. Walter. The question of the appoint- ment of an American commission will be raised at an early date. The Times has ob- tained summonses to compel Parnell and others to make aflidavit to documents in their possession; also summonses to ensure the attendance of leading members of the National League.

A Perpetual Railway Pass. When the Boston and Providence Rail- road Company was chartered, Mr. Jon C. Dodge, of Attleboro, conveyed a portion of his land in consideration that he ard his family should ride free over the line as long as the land was used for railway purposes. A grand-daughter of Mr. Dodge now claims that she is entitled to the privilege named in the deed, ‘and that the word family meant ‘* descendents” of the grantor. The railway company demurred on the ground thatthe remedy of the plaintiff is av law, and not in equity. Judge Alien, however, has overruled the demurrer, and expressed an opinion that under the deed the Boston and Providence Railroad Company would be required to carry free the descendants of Mr. Dodge for all time.
