Tur Datty EXAMINER,

JULY 31, 1878.

Unrin the Patriot and Mr. L. H. Davies can prove that McKenzie has an idea of having a system of Free Trade, and that Workman, Devlin, Jette, Wood, Irving, Norris, Patterson, and others of his Pro- tectionist followers, are prepared to carry that idea out, it had better cease trying to raise the cry of Free Trade ; for all their

efforts must be vain. +>

’ Another Idea.

Unrit Mr. L. H. Davies and the Patriot have shown from the parliamentary utter- ances of Sir John Macdonald (and not from newspaper reports which may or may nol be true) that their assertion that the policy of his party is to increase the people’s burden of taxation is not an ‘‘absurd falsehood” they had better bring their nonsensical humbuggery to a full stop. That sane men would appeal to the country with the cry of “‘high taxes” is too absurd for sane men to give the slightest attention to it.”

Four or Six

—_——

The Bellville Intelligencer, cominenting upon the notable result of the Tignish meet- jag says :—

In Prince Edward Island the probability is

that four of the six representatives who will be returned at the general election will be Con

servatives. We assure the Intelligencer the probability

now is that Prince Edward Island will re-4

turn six Liberal-Conservatives. —_-- +--+ >

St. Peter’s.

Rererrine to the division at St. Peter's meeting of the Grits, the Patriot says :—

‘© A division was then taken, when a very large majority appeared in favor of the nomi- nation of Messrs. McIntyre and McFadyen. Asthe Examiner confesses to a division of two to one in favor of the Reform candidates, the public can safely conclude that the dispro- portion was much greater. The opinion of the writer is that four to one would be a much more accurate calculation.”

We forgot to mention that ‘‘our estimate of the division is exactly the same as that of Dr. McIntyre.” All Dr. McIntyre claimed at the time was a two-thirds vote and “‘the public may safely conclude” that the dis- proportion was 10 greater. The Patriot's claim of four to one is simply ridiculous. We have no doubt that the Patriot is chagrined and disappointed that it was not

four to one. We sympathise with the

Patriot.

An Unfortunate Allusion.

The London Advertiser says ‘‘Nineteen vessels, representing thirty-nine hundred tons of shipping, were built in Prince Ed- ward Island and registered at Charlotte- town during the half year ending 30th ult. Let Mr. J. C. Pope have his way anda Tory Cabinet would place a ‘protective’ tax on the raw material used in ship-building that would make that industry as flat and un- profitable as it is in the United States.” Upon which the Montreal Gazette remarks “That is a most unfortunate allusion. Our saintly contemporary ought to remember that it was Mr. Cartwright who puta tax upon the raw material used in ship-build- ing, equal, as first introduced, to about one dollar a ton on the ship’s value. Dr. Tup- per and Mr. Domville succeeded in shaming him out of his proposal to some extent, and it was reduced ; but whatever it is to.day is due to Mr. Cartwright. More than this, such raw material as is not produced must, according to Mr. McKenzie’s free trade principles, as explained in his rink speech in Toronto, be heavily taxed for revenue

purposes.”

Tue Montreal Gazette speaks favorably of the business outlook from that city. The number of business failures is rapidly de- creasing. Country dealers are pouring in their remittances. Confidence is returning. The splendid harvest being gathered will greatly increase the debt-paying and goods- purchasing power of the farmer, and the increasing demand for Canadian live stock on the other side of the Atlantic will help

lers report the existence of a hopeful feel- ing among the trading classes in every di- rection. The omens seem auspicious. May the result be in accord with them.

Tue Supreme Court opens in this city on Friday, for the purpose of hearing argu- ugents and appeals.

Ss

i as ® Mawattinas No Increass of Taxation.

fw his speech Mr. Tilley said: “Tt is not true that a John MeDonald advocates a 35 per cent. tariff, or any increase in the volume of taxation. The alteration of the tariff does not mean_the imposition of more duty, but merely a readjustment of the burdens. An equitable readjustment of the tariff is necessary for,the prosperity of the Dominion, and particularly necessary for the Maritime Provinces. The simple question is: How shall the thirteen mil- lions required from Customs be levied? It is not equitable to levy on New Bruns- wick $10,000 more on tea than on the rest of the Dominion, in proportion to popula- tion, asat present. What would you say to the same duty per yard on cotton as on linen, on woollens as on broadcloth ?

Reforms 1n Asia Minor.

The following is a passage in the * Times” leading article, on the subject of reforms which England wili require in Asia: * We have reason to believe that the steps atpresent contemplated by the Government respecting Asia Minor are prudent and moderate. Chey have been indicated by the speech of the Pre- mier. Interference with the prerogative of Sultan will, we understand, be avoided, and the English Government will confine itself to demanding real rdministrative reforms. The most important requirement which will thus be pressed on the Porte will be the choice of honest and capable Governors, and their en- joyment of a secure tenure of office. Under the authority of these Governors we shall ex- pect incorrupt administration of the law by educated and competent judges, and the main- tenance of public order by an_ efficient police, with carefully selected officers. We shall fur- ther insist that the revenue be raised without extortion, and for this purpose we shall urge that the practice of farming out the taxes to he abolished, and that settlement, after the example of India, based on a survey, should be substituted for it. How far the Sultan is prepared to execute these reforms cannot be known at preseut, but it is evident they are not such as to effect his sovereign rights, and most, if not all, have, in principle, been al- ready assented to elsewhere by the Porte.”

The Rev. Neil McKay preached—for the first time since he met with his severe acci- dent—on Sunday morning last in the Presby- terian church, which was crowded. He preached ina sitting posture, and from the manner and force of his delivery his sickness seems ¢o give him renewed zeal. His voice is quite strong.

We record to-day w:t the*deepest regret the death of the wife of Mr. Daniel Stewart, of Summerside. She was the daughter of Joseph McEwen, Esq., of that place, and was de- servedly respected and esteemed by a large circle of friends and acquaintances. She had been married but a year.—Pat.

To the Editor of the Examiner :

Srr,—I observed in your last evening’s issue, that you stated in your editorial jottings that ‘* the central cupola of the Market House is sinking, and advises something to be done at once to secure thesame.” This is a dodge that has been tried before by one or two busy ones, and their attempt proved unsuccessful. They succeeded inobtaining a survey of the roof /by two or three of our most experienced and respectable builders of the city. They report- ed that the roof was so constructed that it would sustain the cupola and building as long as the material remained good, of which the roof was composed. The straightness of the ridge was always defective on each side of the cupola. The report is recorded in the City Council Minutes.

I drop these few lines to inform the public that they need not cherish any fears of the in- security of the building. The weight of the cupola is but trifling, especially since the dis- figurement performed by Mr. J. McC. some two years since.

Yours respectfully, Mark BuTcHeEr.

The debate in the Commons on the Marquis of Hartington’s resolution was resumed to-day by Right Hon. Viscount Sandon, who defended the policy of the Government.

The Duke of Cumberland, son of the late ex-King George of Hanover, has been gazetted a Knight of the Garter.

Lord Beaconsfield, in replying to the letter read by Gladstone in the House of Commons to-day, said that the compilation of the list of epithets used by the gentlemen would entail a search of over a period of two and a half years.

Lord Beaconstield cited the the expression of Gladstone, that he (Beaconsfield) had de- graded and debased the great name of Eng- land ; that he had sold the Greeks, and that he had been guilty of an unsurpassed act of duplicity.

THE McCARTHY MURDER.

AN INTERVIEW WiTH ANNIE PARK ER'S FATHER A FAMILY LIKENESS.

DorcnestTEer, July 29.

All quiet here to-day. His Honor Judge Allan, Sheriff Botsford, and the Jury leave in the 3 p. m. train for Shediac, and will return this evening.

Another ‘‘mystery” is unearthed. Annie Parker fails to recognize the man who claims to be her father. Annie has given her father’s name as Henry Parker, of Dalhousie. Hn-

thorities in Dalhousie, they have suceceded in finding, subpeaning and bringing here a man who calls himself Henry Peltier, (called by some Parker.) His description of his family corresponds with Annie’s on a few points. She says she is seventeen years old, and he says that his daughter (Annie) that he has not seen for some years, is twenty-one years ot age, and she says her father was a Lowland Scotchman, while he has very much the ap- pearance in talk and manner of a Frenchman. Annie did not make any time over him, neither does she say whether he is her father or not. All she says is that she don’t know. She said in her testimony that she was some six or seven years old when she left home, so her recollections would be small. She thinks she is his daughter, and he will be placed upon the stand. AFTERNOON.

Your reporter interviewed Mr. Henry Pel- tier this afternoon at Park Hotel. He is fifty five years of age, medium height, dark hair and eyes; a Frenchman with poor English, wearing a small side whisker and imperial; resembles Annie very much, especially about the cyes and mouth; in fact his whole features resembles hersas much as can be expected of a father to bear a family likeness to his daughter. In conversation he affirms every important senti- ment with gestures upon one or both hands or feet. His answers are quick and to the point. He says his name is Peltier, but some have confounded the name with Parker, and Annie being young picked up the latter name and carried it. He is positive she is his daugh- ter, and he says she is 18 or 19 years old. She says 17. His statement differs from hers to some small extent; but the fact of her being young when she left home might excuse her for not retaining every particular in connection with her father’s family.

The jurymen, under command of Sheriff Botsford and subaltrans, marched from their quarters at Mrs. Keillor’s to the station, a dis- tance of half a mile, and the procession with its proper oflices presented quite a majestic and military appearance. At three the proces- sion boarded the regular train for Shediac to view the locality of the Scadou ; where it is supposed the late T. McCarthy came to his death by foul play, and where his body was found with marks of violence upon it. Under the careful and prompt management of the Sheriff, backed by the efficient managers of the Iatercolonial Railroad, a special car was procured for the occasion, and the party left off atthe railway bridge over the Scadouc about a mile from the station. After viewing the bridge, farmer Atkinson’s fence and field, the place where it is alleged the body was put, and then where it was found, they wended their way to the Waverley House. After taking due observation there they took tea at the Weldon House and departed for Dorches- ter at 8.30. His Honor, Judge Allen, Coun- sellars Hanington, Palmer and Holstead, ac- companied the jurymen. The Sheriff appear- ed to take every opportunity of affording ac- commodation for the observation of the jury- men and all present. The tie and pin found on McCarthy’s body, and called for on Satur- day by Mr. Palmer; is in Deputy Sheriff Sweeney’s possession. It seems that when the body was taken to the Deputy’s workshop the necktie and pin became mislaid among some shavings and were picked up by a person and taken care of.
