THE DAILY EXAMINER. |

JUNE 12, 1891.

Notes and Comments.

—La grippe has reached the Magdalen Islands, and, according to the signal ser vice despatches, the deaths average two & day.

There arrived in New York a few days ago a German immigrant one hundred and three years of age. His tourth wife, aged forty, and bis son, a youth over whose head seventy summers had passed, acco.n panied him. When these young people get set- tled it is expected they will send for the old tolks !

—During the progress of the celebrated bacarrat trial, in which the Prince of Wales figured so prominently, some strange things vere brought to the surface. Mrs. Wilson, a witness on the occasion, must go down in history as one of the most remarkable of her sex. She said she saw cheating guing on and did not speak of it '

— Exchanges to hand this morning con- tain further details of the funeral of the Sir John Macdonald. The funeral was a grand one, and will not soon be forgotten by those who witnessed it. Among the floral decorations was an anchor contribut- ed by the Conservative members from the Island. His Honor Lieut.-Governor Car- vell, and Rev. A. E. Burke, of Alberton, sent messages of sympathy. Sirailar messages were «also received from the Archbishop and Bishops of the ecclesiastical provinces vf Toronto and Kingston, irom Archbishop ‘Tuche, from St. George's So- eiety of Halifax, from the Montreal Meth: - dist Conierence, from the Masonic fratert- ity, aud from a great many other organiza tions, dignitaries and private individuals, 4) ave fully alive io the great loss Canada has sustained.

The London World prints a tional article about the prospects of a war in Africa at no distant date as the result of the conflicting claims of the varios Euro pean powers regarding territory, especially m southern Africa. The World says the belief is based on trustworthy reports which show that the army lists give evi- dence that a large force of all arms of the service is being collected in the various Cape Colonies and that the veterans are pre- pari themselves for more active service. The World declares it to be more than pro- bable that the end of the summer wil! see England involved in another war. It is noted in connection with these rumors that special celerity is being displayed in the government shipyards. Work on the new battleship Hood, now nearly ccmpleted at Chatham at a cost of $600,000, is being ra- pidly pushed,

—The Emperor William has been at it again, according to the New York Sun's Berlin letter, A few days ayo, while ad- dressing a body of spring recruits for the urtay, he spoke as follows: ‘*l warn you, who are mostly young countrymen, against the social democrats. Always remember the oath you have taken binds you to me. The bible says the girl who marries leaves father and mother and follows her husband. I say to you, having taken the oath of sol- diers, follew me implicicly, shooting every father or brother, without question or hesi- tation, when ordered.” This speech is at- tracting universal attention and provoking much comment. he language startled every young ran to whom it was addressed, but was received with a loyal outburst of cheers. Such an utterance could not loag he kept secret, and it has bsen sent over the wires to all parts of the world. But nowhere will it ereate more astonishment than in Germany.

—The suggestion made in the Toronto Empire, a few days ago, that a National Memorial Fund should be started to attest in @ tangible form the respect and admira- tion of the people of Canada, for the life and work of her most eminent statesman, sit John Macdonald, whose death is uni- versally mourned, is being discussed throughout the Dominion, particularly in the Prevince of Untario. It is intended that this memorial shal] be outside of and in addition to any action which Parliament may take. In making the proposition the Empire said that “in order that it may be # truly national movement—that rich and poor, old and young, male and female, who wish to honor the memory of the departed Chieftain, may feel that theycan do so, and at the same time there need be no ostenta- tious giving to advertise the donors—we suggest that subscriptions as low as 25c. should be taken and that the limit from any person should be $10.” Short as is the time since the proposition was made, the Empire has already acknowledged the receipt of upwards of $300, the donors being all ‘atlanta of Toronto.

A movement, which though not yet large, is significant and likely to increase, is indicated in a circular, a copy of which is signed by thirty-six persons. These peo- ple, says the Monetary Times, partly for- mer residents of Elgin county, ntario, went to South Dakota, in the western states, to pursue farming. They were dis- appointed in their residence and did not succeed. A number of weeks ago they were induced to remove to the Touchwood district, in the Northwest Territories of Canada, and are located on Townships 30 and 31, ranges nine to 12 west. They write from Yorkton certifying that the represen- tations made by the agents have been car- ried out in every particular. ‘We find the land and location to be better than repre- sented, in,that there is more timber, better water and finer soi]. It is a splendid stock country, and easily cultivated.” They de- sire that this testimonial may be printed and circulated among their former neigh- bors in Brown, Macpherson, Edmunds and Marshall counties, in South Dakota, and “confidently recommend that they can have the utmost contidence in the repre- sentations made to them by Agents Web- ster, Holmes and Pettit, as we have found them more than borne

f i out by the ‘acts in every particular.” We learn, from * Toronto gentleman now in Manitoba,

continues the Times, families from Dak Touchwood district up to 28th u't.

— The census of India was taken in Feb- ruary last, 1,000,000 enumerators having been employed. The population of British india was found to be 250,500,000, and of the States under British protection and in-

fluence 65,500,000 additional; in all a

that more than fifty ota had arrived in the

population of 286,000,000. The increase of in India since 1881 has been | 26,000,000, or 10 per cent. In Burmahi

a,” tet

the inerease is eatimated at 624 per cent., aad in the district of Lower Burmah the population has increased one-half since the district came under British rule. The tuston Post, referring to this subject, says: ‘These figures are of such magni- tude that the imagination fails to grasp

them, and the vast extent and power of the “ritish Empire can be realised but feebly by these who have aot seen and traversed it. These statistical

facts are elequent of much more. They prove conclusively both the extraordinary capacity for government possessed by Englishmen, and also that their capacity Is honestly and mercifully exercised towards the inhabitants of India. The immense dispropriationin numbers between the rulers and the ruled, and the easy con- fidence with which the rulers wield their power, show that John Bull has a genius for dominion which even the Roman citizen did not possess.” These comments con- stitute a very satisfactory tribute to the beneficence of British rule wherever i* has sway over native races.

Prof. Robertson at New Perth.

Prof. Robertson spoke to a large meeting of farmers at New Perth on Tuesday evening. He discoursed chietly on ensilage and iis relation to the dairying industry, At the close of his address he distiihuted some 60 p*ckages of seed corn to induce the farmers of th: vicinity to make a trial this season on a small scale in the way of cu'tivating the plant as a cheap food for milch cows aud tattening steers. He also announced his in- tention of sending one or more experienced cheese makers to spend the summer in the factories of the Maritime Provinces to give instruction and advance the genera! dairying business. In addition to this he intends when his plans are more fully matured to start uader the auspices of the department at Octawa, and to partly encouraged by (Jovernment support, one or more stations in each of the three provinces—where instruction accoiding to the latest and most approved me-:hods im his favorite art will be, dispensed iree tomen and women who wish to avail themselves of the privelege of becoming mere fully a quainted with the business of cheese and buttermaking—ina se entific, practical way. ‘The following preamble and resolution moved hy Cyrus Shaw, Usq., New Perth, seconded by Frederick Bovyer, Esq, Georgetown Royalty, was approved and adopted by the farmers present, viz :

** Whereas, this meeting being satisfied that a dairy station in this locality would tend to advance the interests of the farmers patroniz- ing the same:

‘*Therefore Resolved, that we hereby request Prot. Robertson to use the influence of his posiiion to secure for the farmers of this lt cality the benetits accruing from the establish. meut of a dairy station in this section ot the Province.

De

The protessor very courteously invited the audience to ask questions and explanations of any matter or thing referred tv in his dis- course that he might have omitted, or had not sufficiently explained. The meeting took full advantage of the privelege accorded them, and the commissioner probably got more than he bargained for, being plied with qaestions from all parts of the house and kept on his feet for more than an hour after the close of his main addrese—resolving doubts and explaining the ways and methods best adapted to promote the growth of corn and save it in the best way for winter fodder.

The New Perth Band (musical), presided over by Mrs, West, sang and played several appropriate pieces at intervals during the evening, with which the learned Professor expressed himseli greatly delighted and proposed in highly complimentry terms a vote of thanks to the fair organist and her associates,

Horse Notes.

The gossip from Palo Alte is that with more age Sunol has lost something of her nervousness, carries more flesh than ever before, and is under perfect control. Mar- vin hopes and expects to go a mile close to the record of Maud S., 2.082, with her before she is sent to Mr. Bonner in the fall.

Rearing trotting horses for sale under favorable circumstances, is one of the most profitable industries in which our farmers can engage. There is not much more ex- pense in producing a good three-year-old colt than in growing a good steer, but there is an appreciable difference in the value of the product.

The colt will learn more easily when six

months old than when a year old. It can also be controlled more easily. Hence it is wise to handle the colt early. Its early

training should not stop with its breaking ‘ohalrer. It should be handled until any purt of its limbs can be rubbe?, until it is accustomed to the bridle, and until it will drive as wellas lead. If the colt is of good stock all this trouble is well paid for.

Thirty-four states and Canada are re- presented in the entry listto the great $25,000 Kentucky Futurity.

The application of John McCoy, St Jobn N. B,, to the Board of Review of tke National Trotting Association, for removal of expulsion imposed in December, 1889, was considered at the recent meeting of the Board in Chicago. The judgment was ‘that with a due regard to the interests of the trotting turf, the Board cannut see its way clearly to grant the application and it is therefore denied.’ Mr. McCoy purchas- ed recently the pacer Little Brown Jug, 2114. He owns other fast ones. ?

The winner of the English Derby on May 27, was a colt called Common, jointly owned by Lord Arlington and Sir Freder- ick Johnston. They have refused $100,000 for him. The stakes were $25,009, and it is said they won in bets the additional amount of $75,000. Mrs. Langtry won $150,000 and the Prince of Wales $7 ,500.

The blood of Mambrino Chief, 11, is found in Guy, 2.103, Stamboul, 2.11, Axtell, 2.12, Margaret S, 2.124, Belle Hamlin, 2.12}, Allerton, 2.133, ‘Phalias, 2.14}, Trinkett, 2.14, Patron, 2:14}, Alvin, 2.145, Prince Wilkes, 2.14}, Alabaster, 2.15, Favonia, 2.15, and Majolica, 2.15. Dolly Halstead, the dam of Administrator (owned in Summerside) was sired by Mam- brino Chief. Administrator enjoys the distinction of being the only 2.30 trotter sired by Hambletonian 10, from a Mam- brino Chief mare. Administrator is the sire of nine trotters in the 2.30 list—two of the fastest having records of 2.18} and 2.21. Six of his sons sired nine and ten nama produced ten trotters in the 2.30 ist.

The Contest in the First District.

Sin, —The contest in this district is over, and considering the means used against Dr. MeNeill’s election, it is surprising he polled as good a vote as he did. ‘The Lib- eral Conservatives had no inducements to turn out in comparison with the Liberals. The Hon. James R. McLean in company with Sir Joseph Wise was prowling around Hope River the day before the election. Promises were freely made and jobs were in abundance. Notwithstanding all this, Dr. McNeill i; men captured two of the head centres of his opponents committee, to gether with two cases of whiskey with the brand of ** We-roettom,” anc the Hope River poll dia its uly ney, not withstand- ing the formation of a new party known as the ** Cannon-Cosgrovites.” YVuters were brought from Cardigan, Charlottetown and elsewhere. The lawyers offices were busy with their circulars and agents. Bay View Bridge was placed in the jobbery list. Whiskey flowed in abundanceand a more corrupt election never took place in this district.

Temperance men rant abour their adhes ion to prineiple,—they strain at the gnat, but a election times they manage to swal- low the whiskey. Dr. MecNeill’s candida- ture was not against the Government, as he declared at all the public meetings that he would support them if they introduced the measures of reform which the people desired, but he was, as many of ,the elec- ters on both sides believe, opposed to non- resident representation, particularly when the candidate was not a distinguished man by any means, and many men in the cis trict on both sides his superior,

A petititien should be vader way now by the temperance people and others, praying for an amendment to the election law.

The iaw should be amended in such a way ‘hat no person could give, or no voter should receive any liquor er intoxicating drinks of any kind dusing the election period, an. a teat oath te tie voters at the polls would soon abolish this iniquitous practice--make it criminal for giver and re- ceiver. There will be some show for hones’ eles'i n; then,

The Hon. James R. McsLean has dis- tinguished himself in the matter of job- bery. Grit profession is always contrary to their practice. We will see what the pub- lic accounts for 1891 will reveal !

The Fisheries.

Hatrrax, June 10.—The codfishery did very well to-day at Perce, Que , and fairly down along the coast at Newport Puoinr, Grane. River and Paspebiac. The catch was fair slong the P. E. I. coast in the vicinity of Malpeque, but only poor hauls are re- ported at Seuris and Georgetown. Fishing of all kinds is poor on the Cape Breton coast except at Arichat and St. Peters, At the former place there was 4a fair catch of cod and haddock. In Nova Scotia good hauls are reported at Canso, and fair at {saac’s Harbor and Lunenburg.

There are no reports of any herring taken on the coasts excepting at Tiancook, N. S., where large quantities are reported caught in nets, and at St. Peters, C. B., where the catch is fair.

Lobsters are scarce all over the northern districts in Quebec, New Brunswick and on the northern shores of P. E. 1., but fair at Malpeque and very plentiful at Souris and Georgetown. They are slacking off at Arichat, C. B., butare very plentiful at St. Peter's. The haul at Canso is reported good and at Isaac’s Harbor fair, but there are no other reports from N. 8.

Some mackerel are being netted between Minnegash and North Cape, P. E. J.; and fair quantities at St. Peter’s, C. B., but none of any note are reported at any other place.

Caplin are abundant at Paspebiac, Que.

A good story is told of the Dake of Wel- lington in church: An old lady in humble circumstances chanced to be next the Duke both in a kneeling attitude, and arising from her position, recognizing the Duke, attempts in an apologetic manner to vacate the seat. “he Duke very graciously forces her to be seated by him, remarking ‘we are all alike here.” This reminds us of how alike people are in their fancies of flowers. The pansy, for iustance, is a universal fa- vorite with al], and we can say with the Duke of Weilington, ‘we are all alike here”—especially with such beautiful deli- cate colored ones as Gay & Son are selling in the Market and at home.
