THE DAILY EXAMINER.

MARCH 14, 1887. A Hint. Cue Patriot reports that the liquor dealers are canvassing signatures to a peti

tion for another Scott Act election.

The first Scott Act election in this city

was held in April, 1879. The majority in favor of the petition was then 574.

lhe second election was held in Septen er, 1884, and the majority was 40.

Assuming that the Patriot's report 18 Cor-

rect, what will the result be in September or October, 1887

It is well known that the majority of 40 n 1884 was obtained only on the pledge of the Dominion Alliance that the Act would be properly enforced.

It is well known that the pledge has nct been fulfilled.

It is well known that liquor is sold in the law's despite, and that the evils of the liquor tratlic are now scarcely less manifest than they were in 1884 or indeed in Ls7?

Ediicrial Notes.

A tew weeks agoa Mr. Bulpett, a gradu- ate of Oxford, whe is not an professional athlete, undertook to walk a mile, run a mile, and ride a mile within eighteen minutes. He accomplished the feat in less t han seventeen minutes.

An ardent annexationist asked Mr. Beecher once if the immense size of a re- public, uniting both the United States and Canada, might not make its government too difficult. “? No,” was the reply, ie not size of country, but rather incongruity of population that makes government a

hard task. The Ontario branch of the Dominion Alliance have adopted a resolution urging y adoption of prohibition by the Dominion parliament, demanding the aboli- tion of the Senate, and condemning coun- ty councils who oppose the enforcement of the Scott Act. Mayor Howland, who pre- sided at the meeting, predicted that in the next parliament they would see a_ party elected that would carry prohibition.

- Sir John Macdonald’s majority in his Carleton constituency is 1,085, and it is somewhat of a coincidence that the official figures for West Bruce give Mr. Blake a lead of exactly 1,085 Another co- incidence is the fact that each of the leaders (both elected for two seats) had @& sm jority as well as a large one. But. says the Moncton Times, there is this difference Sir John Macdonald had a safe seat in the last Parliament, and he went in to win a constituency from the Grits, while Mr. Blake was afraid of his old constituency and went to one where the majority is from eight thousand.

In the course of his sermon yesterday, Rev. Mr. Carruthers made special reference tu the Scott Act and the efforts now being made for its better enforcement. He _ said that the Stipendiary Magistrate and the ‘ity Council express themselves prepared to enforce the law, if, in so duing, they are backed up by public opinion. In this con- nection he urged his congregation to do all in their power towards strengthening the hands of the authorities so that the people f Charlottetown will be able to say in August next whether the Seott Act pro- hibits.

Tribute to Beecher.

REV. DR TALMAGE RECALLS HIS GOOD DEEDs.

Rev. T. Dewitt Talmage was asked to paya tribute to Mr. Beeeher’s memory. He said: ‘** The word sympathy would sweep a circle around most of Mr. Beecher’s nature. Sym- pathy for bondage, sympathy for helplessness, sympathy for trouble. That gave him his power. For cold intellectuality the world may have admiration but no affection. There may be a long procession of carriages at the obsequies of mere brain, but no tears fall and nobody cares very much, But a_ big heart always take everything by storm, and keeps the castle of the world’s affection after it is vnee captured. Mr. Beecher put a stout shoulder under the world’s burdens, and every body loves such a nature. For eighteen years I have seen him under all circumstances, and lnever heard him say a depreciating word about anybody. He was in good humor with allmankind. He felt there Was room for all. Ifthere was not, he would make room, Many a merry time we have had together conversations lasting from New York to Pittsburg or Chicago, in some of our lecturing itinerancies. We wished each other well while he wasin good health, and after the stroke came all my congregation united with me in prayer for his sate crossing into eternal felicity. If all the people whom he helped will join in supplication tor his bereft family, many of the shadows will be lifted, and a sun- burst of comfort and peace and hope will flood the home now trembling under the weight of a great calamity. ‘*The strongest thing about Mr. Beecher was his personality. It was above all else, and touched achord that vibrated in every breast. He had a great breadth of sympathy which reached every man and thing. His was a warm and sympathetic heart that made the world better for his being init. He met his fellow men on a level, and lis grasp was warm and his shoulder touched the shoulder of those who needed him. His cheerfulness was what kept him so strong until the end. Trials that would have crushed others left him unscarred. Mr. Beecher was supremely contented with his lot, and always helped those who needed help.” : i te ee

Taking Horses from Canada.

MANY ANIMALS SENT OUT PAYING

OVER THE BORDER WITH- DUTY.

A lot of fine horses that had been imported from Canada from time to time with the pay- ment of duties, were recently seized at Chica- go. Foramonth, Mr. Crowley has known that A. Fanson & Son, of Toronto, have been shipping horses into the United States and evading the tariff by misrepresentation. Blooded horses, imported specially for breed- ing purposes, are adinitted free, and under this provision Fanson got his horses into the United States. The services of several farm- ers in Noble, Lagrange, and neighboring counties in Indiana were obtained to carry out the deception, and the necessary aflidavits

were given to the effect that the horses were purchased by these farmers for breeding purposes. They were enter- ed at the ports of Detroit, and

Port Huron in the names of the farmers, who even gave the seller their notes for large amounts purporting to be the value of the animals. These notes were destroyed after they had served their purpose at the custom houses, and Fanson, following up the horses, would remunerate the farmers for their ser- vices and proceed to sell his stock wherever he could find customers.

Karly last week Inspector Whalen was sent to Cromwell, Ind., where it was learned that Fanson was disposing of a let of his horses. On his arrival he found that Fanson had dis- appeared. He coramunicated with Mr. Crow- ley, who joined him, and together they seized eight horses, and discovered the whereabouts of four more, which are probably by this time in custody. The value of the eight animals is estimated at $20,000.

Mr. Crowley says he has traced many more of the Fanson horses to Ohio, Kansas, and Michigan. The total vaiue of the horses is about $70,000. He took the depositiuns of the farmers in whose names the stock was entered, and they confessed that they had committed perjury in their affidavits, and that they had

no interest whatever in the property. They were arrested and taken to Indianapolis to- gether with the confiscated horses. It is be-

lieved that Fanson has made good his escape and is now in Canada. ooo eerie ees

jackass. Therefore, to carry the Subway I must go with the party who would take it up, and I find Sir John Macdonald and his Government ready to do so, as you may see by reading Sir John’s letter, Sir Charles Tupper’s speech at Amherst, and Mr. Fos- ter's at St. John. Those men are used to large undertakings, which they have grap- pled with successfully, and are, therefore, not afraid of this work once they are satis- tied of its practicability. On the other hand we have Mr. Blake, reported, as saying it was ‘a wild cat scheme.’ ”

Reporrer—‘‘Are you quite satisfied that there is a majority of the people of the Is- land in favor of the Subway ?” Senator—‘‘Yes; I believe if a vote were taken on that question alone, it would be shown that a very large majority of the people are in favor of it.”

LEPORTER—‘‘How do you account for the Island returning six members to oppose the Government ?”

Senarorn—I think the public mind was saturated with the opinion that there would be a change on account of

the way in which Quebec, Ontario, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick went in the

Local Elections. Our people are in- telligent and independent in their political thought, and often do as they have now done, but come back again just as soon as they find out that they have been imposed upon. In i871 when the Pope-Howlan Government was in power With nineteen toeleven, we went to the people and were badly beaten—-only eight coming back out of the nineteen ; yet in twelve months

from that day we were back again in power’ twenty to ten. The people were misled at that

time, but as soon as they found it out they took the first opportunity of rectifying their mistake. So in the present case, | am not afraid but that the political tide will soon turn again.”

Rerorter—**Do you think the present Government will go on with the Subway ?”

Senator—-‘‘I think they will cause an- other survey to be held this summer. All | have asked the Government to do is to cause burings to be made next’ summer on the short line (65 miles) and lay the report thereon with what surveys and plans we have so far obtained, before a competent Board ot Engineers and if they report favorably to take up the work and finish it —or if otherwise I will bow my head to their aecision, but never to those heaven- born engineers who pronounce it a ‘wild-cat scheme,’ ”

Reporter—-‘‘What about the proposed Subway across the Hillsboro /”

Senator—‘‘ Well, I have the pians and estimates all complete, and intend sub- mitting them to the Local Government as soon as Par- liament meets. My proposal is to build a subway sixteen feet in diameter and of the same material as that contemplated for the Capes. It will be capable of taking two lines of double teams—one coming and one going —at all hours of the day and night. This subway will answer for a railway as well when the proposed branch lines to
