ALBERTON EXHIBITION AND THE LESSON iT TEACHES.

iv Alberton Exhibition this year was by no means an uma ulified success, There was much discontent and mistrast in the air.

From an institution which had the hearty sup ort of the western end of the Province at its start, andon up to thetime it fell inte the hands of its

present managers,

it served well the purpose which its first bad

advocates and promoters in view, removed from and unable to compete with the eastern end of the county into touch with the centres of agricultural emulation. We could therefore say, and did say in the first vears of its existence,that the Alberton gave a bigger aad better

returo for the money expended than any

show rea.ly

other provincial show. We know also tha‘ the benefits indirectly flowing from it to the farming como-unity which it strove to incalculable and - fairly and properly managed we are assured that it could stili continue to fulfill the hopes of its far-seeing and patriotic organizers, men whose interest was not feigned since

give were

they put their hands deep into their pockets to pay as far as say.

But with thoseat present in authority, Federally or Loeall:,there ha: been a disposition to reduce all the great public institutions of the country to the level of mere political machines. Anything that wi!! not bring water te the Liberal mill is not worth botbering about. One half the community must therefore beestranged in sym pathyat leastfrom movements which it has worked hard to bring to a successful pay towards them indirectly while used as a rod to beat its back. Andaswith great so with emal] affairs. If the Federal and Loca! leaders pay only for results in a political sense, work and scheme to divert into chaonels favorable to their political fortunes, how ean it b2 expected to be otherwise with their subaiterns? It is a case of the unjust

issue and must still

steward all arouod; make unto yourselves friends of the Mammon of Iniquity. It is asad reflection no doubt on the professions of those Liberal puriste; when in opposi- tion they turned up their eyes in holy horror ata Conservative getting paid a reasonable price for a pound of nails, to find them now eo crowding the trough into which the patronage swill finds its way in such numbers and with such zeal as tofrighten evena “Business is Busi- ness” administration.

At Alberton, it is stated, the exhibition has become a sort of side show to the chairmau’s busi. nese, and hence the general discontent, hence the want of encouragement shown towards it, hence the failure which marked its holding this year. And if maintained in its present management, it will not take

long to throw an other- wise most useful institution into such dis favor with all free-born men, Liberal or

Conservative, as to warrant the with- drawal of public support altogether. We regret this as much as the good and broad- viewed men who instituted the Alberton ex- hibition without a cent of government aid. But the government is to blame as well as

those who have monopolized the management of the exhibition, Under Conservative rule the commission- ers were chosen equally from

the Liberal and Conservative ranks; now we find thelist made up of out-and-out grits, with here and there a weak-kneed tory who is promply sat upon it he plucks up courage enough to open his lips in the general conference. And the chairman is often such anindividual as few menof broad views and disinterested patriotism would have anything todo with. Such people, it is found, too, having intruded them- selves into every place of prominence,

chiefest industry and for the public good.

NOTES AND COMMENTS

—The time for colleeting the crimira statistics Of Canada for the year 1897 ex pired yesterday, and the asual blue book will be issued in duetime. The statistics ‘ur the City of Charlottetown, we hear with regret, large increase of crime during the year. There were 434 convictions this year for various olfences against 269 for L895

show a

—A new light keeper has been appointed at the North Cape in place of Jolin Hackett, dismissed without warning or cause. Oneof the sworn conditions of a light-keeper is that be be under forty, a

boatman end capable of reading and writing. The new incumbent—a loyal

henchman ofthe only truly pure party- named Phee—can read letters a foot ljoug, isold enorgh to be a grandfather and would drown in any mill] pond. And this is competeucy—a good grit nomination.

—The returns just issued by the British Government show aremarkable decrease in Irish emigration for the last twelve months, the figures being the lowest since 1871. This, together with the declining death rate, a birth rate zonsiderably above ige average, and a very extensive immigra- tion of Irish citizens returning from America, would seem to indicate that, in spite of the famine which is now declared to be imminent, Ireland has been enjoying recently a greater degree of prosperity than for a long time.

—It is announced from Ottawa that the desiga for & new postage stamp has been approved by the postmaster general. There is a portrait of her majesty as she appeared at the coronation except that a coronet is substituted for a crown. ‘The portrait has been engraved from a photograph pro- cured during the jubilee ceremonies and upoa which was the Queen’s own. auto- grapb, so tbat it is authentic. The corners of the stamp will be decorated with maple leaves which were pulled from trees on Parliament hill and engraved directly from them.

— According toa despatch from Rome, arrangements forthe cession of Kasala to Great Britain have been completed, and everything is reacy for tne occupation of that town by British troops. Kassala is a town of Abyssinia, situated, roughly speaking, about half way between Khar- toum and Maseowa, on the Red Sea. It is only about 300 miles south west of Suakim and is the jaiction of three tele- graph lines. Kassala hasan Arab popu- lation of some 5,000 people, and was one of the towns occupied by the Italian troops in the efforts of Italy to establish an Afri- can colony by co-cperating with the British forces in Egypt.

—Mail aid Empire: A few days ago one of our grain companies received an order from the

Imperial Government of Russia for a quantity of Canadian oats. Still more recently the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa has been asked to select ten tons of No. 1 hard Manitoba wheat for shipment to St. Petersburg. In both cases the grain is to be used as seed. Four years ago the Russian Government purchased a Jot of barley in Ontario with the intention of sowing it. These facts cannot be too broadly advertised; they give the world an idea of the quality of the cereals raised in Canada. When a great agricultural country like Russia comes to us for seed to improve its production in three different classes of grain, it pays us a compliment which we must not be too modest to refer to.

l+HeE TARTE-GRENIER LIBEL SUIT.

Hion. Mr. Tarte Still onthe Rack—What Me Has to Say.

Montreal, September 28,— At the opea- ing of the Tarte tial this morning, Mr. Tarte was called as a witness for the de- fenee. Mr. Cornellier tackled him on his political belief relevant to the accusation that he was a vulgar political acrobat. Mr. Tarte adwitted that he had changed his politica: allegiance, saying that his opiniefis of men and things bad also changed. Had he not changed opinions since he was 20,

be would have been an idiot. “30 you bave changed vour politics?” he was asked. Mr. Tarte replied that he was an old Liberal-Cooservative, ‘vho had entered the ranks of the Liberal

pariy composed of men of moderate views,

dd by Launeé®. There was no man, from the judge dowv, could say he had not chauged his views. He denied having

told: Whelao he used the $5,000 for print- ing. fie had some printing done on com- ini-sion. Where, he did pot remember, vut very little of the total amount went for it “Now, will you tellus,” asked Mr,

‘oroellier, “iow much you collected in Qebec for this printing, apart from the mount of $5,109? Mr. St. Pierre ibjected to the question as illegal. Surely they were not going tO inquire into all Mr. Tarte’s acts. Tiis had othing todo wth the case. Mr. Cor- nellier pointed ont he could prove that othe: money had been subscribed for the printing of lists, which would allow $5,000 to remain in Tarte’s pocket.

in answer te St. Pierre, he contended that plaintiff, having filed no plea, he bad a

right to make witness account for every cent received. The question was over-

ruled and taken note vf in case Of appeal. Mr. Coroellier asked what be did with the money, if paid to Conservative party, to whom paid, and the date aud objeci? Otjected to, and objection sus- tained. Mr. Cornellier mentioned such names as Mr. Leblane, Mr. Tanllov, and asked if it was paid to them; but the court again over-ruled it, gaying the court was not there to satisfy public curiosity. Mr. Tarte defined a boodler as a man who took advantage of his public position to divert public money to his own personal use, in facta thief. Mr. Cornellier asked if be had kept the $5,000 in his pocket would he consider it boodling? as the $5,000 was not the people’s muney, but from a private seurce Mr. Tarte finally said he would not have considered himself hishonored had he kept it.

In the afternoon, after being examined about the entering of the present suit, Mr. Tarte denied receiving $2,000 from the Baie des Chaleurs subsidy, or from Mr. Pacaud. He was closely questioned about the Demers’ note and was asked if it was not true his credit was not involved but the order of the province. His guarantee was engaged he said, since Demers obtsined judgment against him. He discounted the note, and the province’s order, to raise money. Witness identified copies of the Globe of February 6th, 1892, in which were photographs of orders to pay mouey’s to Tarte, for election © «xpenses, He believed McGreevy had given these out. He was conducted through the mazes of the McGreevy scandal. Mr Cornellier en- deavored to gain an admission that he had dribbled the documents. He denied this and said that Robert McGreevy ard Owen J. Murphy, of New York, had sup- plied them, He notified Sir John Macdnaid of the facts he had ascertained. aud claimed that he had to publish theee.

STARVING CHILDREN.

Thousands of well-fed children are starving simply because their food is not of the right kind. They are thin, pale and delicate. Scott’s Emulsion will change allthis. It gives vim and vigor, flesh and force.
