~ “AUGUST 23, 1880.

Who is the Wriggler? Tuk Patrit, under the apt and euphon-

ious heading of ‘‘ Another Wriggle,” says

; ’ ic, and no

‘Mr. Ryan is a Roman Catholic, an sooner is Tienee that he has been chosen by the Reformers to contest the seat for West Toronto than the Mail publishes an article on Religion and Politics, the ob- ject of which in its own language, was to shew that electors ‘‘ are bound to bring religion to the discharges of their duties as constituent members of the body corporate. The Mail’: attempt to injure Mr, Ryan in the estimation of the West Teronto elec tors, because he happens to bea Roman Wathelic, will no doubt have its effect among those whem it was written to in- fluence.” .

Now, it will be interesting to see what the Mail really does-say with regard to Mr. Ryan in relation to the fact that that gentleman is a Roman Catholic. We quote from an article bearing directly upon the point, which appeared in the Mail of the 16th inst :

‘Neither Mr. Ryan’s repute in the cem- mercial world nor his standing as a private citizen is at issue in this struggle ; if they were, we sheuld be glad to bear testimony to his excellent business reputation and great moral worth. Nor is this a battle hetween rival creeds. The people are told, with estentatieus detail, that he is ‘‘ a mem- her of the Catholic Church,” and that the “ anti-Catholic cry will doubtless be raised by the Government party ;” but all this is quite superfious. Mr. Ryan’s religious belief can have vo manner of connection with his views on the tariff or the Pacific railway ; and it is safe te say that no good Con- aervative will vote against him simply be- cause of that belief. If the Muil believed that he would be sacrificed for his religion it wouid not hesitate to sink politics and support him; for the triumph of a true liberalism over bigetry and narrow-minded- ness would be of much more importance to the public weal that any mere party victory can possibly be. Mr. Ryan is not a Catholic in this contest, but a free-irader ; and a Catholic evy for him will be just as immeral and as wicked as a. Protestant ery aqamet him.”

This has the right ring; and the political ergan which Would construe such plain and manly language into ‘‘ an attempt to injure Mr. Ryan in the estimation of the West Teronte electors because he happens to be * Roman Catholic,” must be an adept at wriggling. In fact the Patriot may properly, we think, be dubbed the

Incorrect Entries.

Tue man who, by whatever means, im- ports goods on payment of less duties than ether men are compelled to pay for the same articles, dees a wrong both to tax- payers in general, and competitors in trade, in particular. It is, therefore, important that every man should deal fairly and squarely with the Custom House. But it is believed that by false or incorrect entries passed by careless officials. some traders have, in times not long passed away, ob- tained undue advantages over their fellows and the public. Of late, however, the officials have been re- quiring stricter justice tothe public and to fair dealing traders. It was to sustain the officials in their commendable vigilance and to show imperters that loese entries would no longer be permitted to pass un- challenged, rather than to call down the weight of public censure upon any parti cular individual or individuals that we, on Saturday, called attention, to the two false entries “ recently detected. With res- pect to one of those entries we are requested to make an explanation. We would nat willingly do injustice to any man and, therefore, we gladly do so. The entry referred to was of a case of locks. It was duly passed and the case was carried te the appraisers. On examination the case was found te contain, in addition to the lecks a package of three dozen revol- vers, of whica no entry had been made and en which no duty had been paid. The importer, on being interrogated, acknowledyed that he had ordered the pistols, but stated that he had received no invoice of them, and did net know that they were in the case. Subsequently he produced a letter frem the firm in the United States who had sent the locks, im which it was admitted that. the pistols had been enclosed in the case, and that they had not advised the importer of the fact. This explanation, is, we believe, satisfactory to the Customs officiais ; aud we hope it may be so to the public. Jn reply to our correspondent, ** Harowaxe,” we may say that it is not eur intention to publish the names of the firms implicated wuless desired to do so by ® majority of those in the trade.

Visit of the Governor-General.

Governor-General, Lord Archibald Camp- bell. and suite, driving in the Royalty and admiring the beautiful landscape from vari- ous points of view, After driving for about an hour His Excellency came to town. and called upon Sir Robert Hodgson,

conversation. He then proceeded to Gov- ernment House, where he dined with His Honor Lieutenant Governor Haviland. At the dinner there were present :—His Excellency the Governor General, Lord Archibald Campbell, the Hon. James C. Pope, Chief Justice Palmer, the Hon. W. W. Sullivan, the Hon.

Summerside Items.

(From our own Correspondent. )

The steamer Miramichi arrived here on Friday last from Montreal on her regular fortnightly trip, bringing considerable freight for our merchants. She had on board a number of passengers.

There will be a sweepstakes race for $15 on Summerside Driving Park, shortly. There are three entries: Mr. Farrows’ herse Tom H.; M. McLeod’s mare Lucy M.; and R. Beairsto’s mare Ella B.

The mackerel fishing in our harbor has been quite a success this week. The catch has been good and the fish of an extra size and quality.

A number ef sportsmen arrived on the steamer Sf. Lawrence on Friday evening last, from New Brunswick. They brought with them their fishing gear, guns, &c,

The tea at Alberton took place on Thursday last, as advertised. An excur- sion train reached here at 8.40 in charge of Conductor Kelly. A large crowd, num- bering about three hundred, were in wait- ing at this place to take passage en route for Alberton. The train left here ata quarter te ten, and arrived at Alberton at 1.30. At each station along the line num- bers boarded the train, and when it ar- rived at its destination it numbered nine- teen cars, literally crammed with people. On the trip up a row was started by some drunken roughs, who are always to be found on occasions of this kind, and which ended insome of them being put off the train. On the arrival of the train at Alber- ton, a general rush was made for the tea tables, which were well supplied with good things. It was originally intended to have the tables set in Montgomery’s warehouse ; but fearing this would prove inadequate, they were arranged on the station grounds. Here, we think, the Managing Committee made a mistake in placing the tables so near the road, as during the day a stiff breeze was blowing, which had the effect of carrying considerable dust over the tables and making eating everything but agree- able. It is estimated that there were three thousand people on the grounds, at differ- ent times. Remarkably good order was kept by this vast crowd during the day. A man selling cheap jewelry seemed to be making money on this occasion. It is sur- prising how many people can be swindled by this class. If people imagine that they can buy several pieces of good jewelry for 25 cents, they make a sad mistake, and no doubt ere this they long for their quar- ter. At five o'clock the train left Alber- ton with its cargo of living freight ; and arrived here at a quarter to nine, when it proceeded on its way tothe city. The tea was financially a grand success.

The Fairbairn *Family are billed to give an enteftainment in Ludlow Hall on Tues- day evening next. <> -
