| SS a Tue Darty EXAMINER, | MAY 13, 1878. False Alarm.
ir is amusing to notice the
of the Patriot to turn the attention of its |
readers from the acts of the present Domin
He knows that the legis- yy
ion Government. lation of the past tive years has given mue dissatisfaction. He 1s fully aware that the Grit representatives of this Previnee have been mere figure-heads in the that at the bidding of their
House of Commons ; chief they have voted blindly on every question in the interest of their Party not their country. Their They come back
in the interest of record is not satisfactory. with poor chances of re-election, unless some alarm is raised on a question of future policy. The Patriot, always ready to echo any cry to aid his friends, gives his readers little else than bitter, personal attacks upon J.C. Pope. He tells the people, not what Mr. Pope has done—for that is too well known already, and there is no scope for but his own (2 atriot’s) ideas it is cer-
manipulation of what Mr. Pope is likely to do. tainly complimentary to a public man, who has been in so many public positions as Mr. Pope, that his chief and most reckless ene- my must draw on his not over-scrupulous imagination for his accusations. There is nothing in Mr. Pope’s past career by which the Patriot can make any impression on the people to his prejudice. He drew much consolation for a month or two from what he called ‘* Pope’s Protection vote.” When Mr. Pope explained that vote—and his ex- planation was endorsed by the people of Charlottetown—the Patriot began to sound a dreamy alarm of what Mr. Pope may do if he is re-elected. We need hardly tell the Putriot that he is over-doing it. The p2ople of this County jiave no more confi- dence in these false alarins than they have in his reports from Ottawa. In his anxiety he has overstepped the bounds of decency. ‘* Too far east is west” is true logically as well as geographically. the Patriot attempts to prove that Messrs. Yeo, Perry, Davies, &.; are better and more capable fopresentatives for the people than Mr. Pope, his readers must feel that such ex- cessive zeal is a cause of suspicion, and that
Tuy syne
8) much anxiety arises fromm a desire to con- eval a manifest incapacity on the part of our representatives at Ottawa. There are many G cits who are ready to believe many distorted facts from the Patriot ; but there is a limit to even the credulity of our Grit friends, and the Patriot should be careful not to ex-
weed that point. More than one of them have told us they were disgusted with the extravagance of ‘* The Newspaper.”’ —— eee Prorogation of Parliament.
Parliament was prorogued on the after- noon of the 10th. His Excellency the Goy- ernor General delivered the following
speech. Hon. Gentlemen of the Senate : ffentlemen of the House of Commons :
I am glad to be able to relieve you from farther attendance in Parliament, after a somewhat lorg and laborious session.
I shall take the necessary steps, at an early day after the close of the financial year, to give effect to the measure you have passed tor the better auditizg of the public accounts.
I shall call the attention ot Her Majesty’s Government to your address praying that all of British America except Newfoundland, shall be, by Imperial action, declared to be within the Dominion of Canada. I rejoice that, du- ring the term of my administration, this final step to consolidate British interests on the con- tinent of America has been taken with so much unanimity, and that, henceforth, the Dominion Government will, under Her Majesty, exer- cise undisputed sway over the northern half of this continent.
I am happy to be able to state that, pending the finul settlement of the «question of the boundary, a conventional line has been ad- opted by the Government and the Government ot the,United States, between Alaska and British Columbia, on the Stickine River.
The large sums you have appropriated for the great works of internal improvement will be expended with the most rigid regard to economry, and in the expectation that the principal canals under constraction may be nearly completed within the next financial
ear,
. The settlement of Manitoba and the North- West territories has been proceeding this year with unexampled rapidity, and if the efforts of my Government to obtain a railway connec- tion with Wimnipeg at a very early day should be successful, J anticipate next year a still larger increase to the population. It is special- ly gratifying to find so many Canadians who had, in former years, migrated to the United States now returning tothe newly organized territories of their native land.
Gentlemen of the House of Commons ;
I thank you for the supplies which you haye granted for the various public services. Honorable Gentlemen of the Senate:
Gentlemen of the House of Commons:
Nothing could have a me more gratifica- tion than the joint address with which you have honored me on the eve of my departure. My interest in Canada shall not cease when my mission as Her Majesty’s Viceroy shall have terminated, and | am glad to know that you have taken so favorable a view of my ef- torts to fittingly represent our Most Gracious
Queen in this the most importaut of Her,
a Colonial possession. I now bid you farewell, and earnestly trust you may find in the future the manifold blessings which [ shall ever pray may be continually showered upon vou.

Sir John MeDonald and some of the French Conservative members of the House went to Montreal a few days ago. It is understood that a meeting of the newly elected Conservative members of the Que- bec Legislature was held in Montreal, and that the gentlemen interested invited Sir John McDonald to meet with them. The meeting is reported to have been of the most satisfactory character, and as fully bearing out all that has been claimed by the Conservative journals as to the result of the elections. M. Joly’s fate is sealed.
Montreal Gazette :—‘‘The overwhelming majority in Montreal is against Mr, Me- Kenzie and his Government. <As we have said, there is not a merchant, unless the two or three who happen to be interested personally in the defence of Mr. McKenzie’s yovernment, who does not feel that some change is necessary.” +

The Quebec Mercury, organ of M. Joly, at last throws off all pretence that the Que- bee Premier is not the servant of the men at Ottawa: ‘‘The battle won in Quebec is but the first note of the larger strife for the sway~of the Dominion. It, therefore, be- hooves the followers of M. Joly to deter- mine whether they are not logically bound to give a zealous and united support at the next elections to the candidates of the Me- Kenzie Government.”
Quebec Constitution: ‘‘Reviewing all the
circumstances of the past two months, and remembering how irreconcilable are the elements which compose the new Parlia- ment, and particularly bearing in mind that the coup detat was a plot to aid the Ottawa Government in the forthcoming Dominion elections, we think it not only likely, but absolutely certain, that the majority—we contend that the Conservatives have a ma- jority—will refuse all overtures looking to- wards coalition.”

T) the Editor of the Examiner :
Str,--I wish to call the attention of the public to a circumstance which took place yes- terday (Sunday). ing in to the city for the Doctor, and passiug Mr. Bevan’s Ginger Beer establishment, on the Malpeque Road, there were twelve or fourteen young men outside the house dancing an eight- handed reel, while one of the party was whistling forthem. This looks bad, and should
millenium are sadly mistaken. Yours, ete., A CITIZEN.
May 18, 1878.
To the Editor of the Examiner:
Srr,—‘‘A B” has written a reply to my let- ter that appeared in your paper of May the 8th, which is even more dishonest and un- truthful than his first. He does not attempt
reference to the sugar duties, Knowing that
he puts in no defence. Evidently looking cn the matter of inventing falsehoods about a political opponent as nothing unusual for him, he proceeds to invent new falsehoods. True to the instircts which seems to actuate the real Grit wherever you find him, he is noth- ing if not bearing false witness against his neighbor.
In my last I asked why 8,000,009 bushels of ! corn should be allowed to come from the} United States free of duty for the purpose of | being manufactured into poisonous drinks. | **A B” takes half the sentence, quotes it as complete, and then labors to show that corn is a necessary of life, and that Mr. McKenzie has a great love and regard for the poor people who has to eat cornmeal. ‘‘A B” knows well enough that the great bulk of the corn im- ported from the United States is for the pur- pose of being manufactured into white eye. forty rod whiskey, and other drinks of a like nature. He must also be aware that the free importation of corn for the pur- pose of being distilled into a_ vile compound, means just so much bounty given to the manuiacturers or distil- iers.. It is true that there was a duty of 15) cents a gallon on coal oil while the late Goy- ernment was in power. but the present com- | bination do not deserve any credit for reduc- | jing that duty. The country have to thank the | Opposition for whatever benefit they have re- ceived by the decrease in the duty on oil. During the Session of 1876 Mr. Colby, a lead- ing member of the Opposition, introduced a resolution to reduce the duty on oil to 74 per cent., for which the whole Opposition voted. The Government called on their followers to vote the motion down, and our so-called Free

edge that the Opposition were right, and they eared it to 6 cents per gallon, which means 60 per cent. And now ‘‘A B” claims credit for the Government for doing what they were forced to do by the Opposition. He writes)
But public! opinion became so strong during the year that!
the Government had to give way and acknowl- |
learnedly about corn and cornmeal being a necessary of life, and tea and sugar being | Inxurios, Now, it is a woll known fact that}
eg ernn gy ueunaeanes oe Pahaanne me a
the poorest people look upon tea and sugar in some form as necessaries of life. Even if we admit that tea and sugar are luxuries, and class them with silks, satins, ribbons, etc., how does ‘A B” account for his free trade Government allowing silks and satins to be imported, by paying a duty of 174 per cent., while sugar pays from 40 to 50 per cent. and tea from 25 to 40 per cent. Ll hope that “A. B.” will think this matter over, and, in- stead of calling me a ‘Tory, a Protectionist, &e.; that he will stick to facts. I’ must con- fess that 1 have little hope of his amendment, if we are to judge him by his letters to the Patriot. He is evidently determined to do his best to uphold the unpatriotic Government that has been for the last five years legislating more in the interest of the United States than that of tne Dominion. — Yours, ete., Free TRADER.

‘ The Fenian Scare.
New Yors, May 10.—-A_ prominent Fenian officer said that the ery about a raid on Canada emanates from a low, disorderly people too ready to create a disturbance, and it is all bosh and nonsense. It is true, he said, that the Irish patriots have hoped that in the growing difficulties between Rus- sia and Great Britain a way might be opened to secure for Ireland lasting and strong free- dom. We have been working to that end for months, but very quietly and eavnestly, and as far as I know negotiations are now pending between Russia and the recognized leaders of the loyal Irish element. Ten thousand men can in a few days be pre- pared for any emergency that may arise, and arms and ammunition will be forth- coming, if needed. No positive arrange- ments have been entered into as yet with Russia, but her agents are now here and may at any moment receive orders to close all negotiations, This movement extends all over the United States.

A Sap Casz.—-The St. John Globe re- cently copied from the Carleton Sentinel an account of the drowning in the St. John river of a womanand her child. A Fort Fairfield despatch gives some particulars of this melancholy occurrence. The woman had been recently at work in and was engaged to an overseer of a mill, but the engagement was broken by /him, and when she returned home recently, hearing he was married, she took her illegi- timate child to the river, bound it, threw it in and jumped in after it. A man threw her a long searf, which she violently flung from her and perished.
