With hundreds of office seekers looking to it, there was no difficulty in obtaining Mr. Warburton’s nomination by a convention (so-called) over the heads of such ' men as the most prominent supporters of resident in the District.

i fe rior the Government

The men who compose this cabs! are now pointing at Dr, MacNeill as ‘‘the hero of

the smallpox claim.” This is, tor them, a

most unfortunate allusion! What are the facts! Dr. MacNeill impaired his practice, risked the lives of his wife and children, risked hia own life, in order that he might save the country from horrors of a general attack of smallpox. Dr. MacNeill was successful in his effurts. He saved the | lives of his patients. He prevented spread of the contagion.

He performed a |

notable public service, fur which he cer- | tainly deserved credit and liberal payment. The late Government thought that he wanted too much. He asked that the question be submitted to a jury of his countrymen in a| court cf law, The late Government retured this reasonable request, fearing, probably, that a jury might be induced—in view of the important service perfurimed—to award Dr. MacNeil! a larger sum than was consis- tent with the amounts paid to other doctors similarly engaged. The Doctor felt that he was aggrieved, and wrote the letter re-pub- lished by the Patriot of Wednesday even- Subsequently the matter was amicably arranged,—to the honor if not to the satis- faction of both parties. There is nothing

in connection with the matter which does not reflect credit upoa Dr. MacNeill. Yet he ia branded by the backers of the city candidate for the First sistrict as the can- didate of the “‘ smallpox claim.” Well, it will be admitted that Dr. MacNeill’s con- duct at the time of the smallpox visitation constitutes a strong personal claim upon the favorable consideration of voters at this election.

to the influence of the political jobber, public works are being neglected all over the Province. For instance, it is plained that Shaw's Wharf, on the West River, was damaged by the storms of last fall and winter and that the repairs order- ed by the late Government were stopped on the accession of the Peters and J. R. MacLeau combination to the discomfiture ef Hon. Mr. Farquharson’s constituents. it is also stated that the extension of a block to the bridge at West River was con- tracted for by the late Government, and would have been completed by the first of June, had not Messrs. Peters andjMac- Lean interfered to stop the work. For want of this wharf extension, the steamer can only go to West River Bridge when the tide is flowing, The interests of Mr Farquharson's constituents are not

sidered. There is no political contest the banks of West Kiver.

The First Division.

Arthe first division of the Howse of Commons, in 1887 (after the general clec- tion of that year) the Government major- ity was thirty-two. At the first division‘ after the election of 1891, the Government majority was twenty-nine. After all the shouting and boasting of the Grits, the difference in their favor is only three ! The majority of thirty-two in 1887, devel- oped into a majority ranging from fifty to eighty. It is probable that the majority in 1891, will develop in the same way.

Liquor Selling on Sundays.

—_—_

Decent people shut their shops on Sun- days; a number of the liquor sellers don't. When one of the Jatter is convicted for a violation of the Lord’s Day Act the only punishment inflicted under the law is paltry fine of $1.62. hindrance.

a This is, of course, no It is said that the offence of liquor selling on Sunday is increasing. In any case, the law should be amended to permit adequate punishment for this most objectionable form of Sunday desecration. We hope that our Premier Attorney-Gen- eral will rise to the occasion.

‘eons — Good Music.

Gorton’s Minstrels will arrive from Sum- merside on the 10.15 a. m. train, and at 11.45 the Gold Band will render some choice concert selections on Market Square. This Band is a exceptionally good one, and should be heard by every lover of first-class music, Immediately after the concert. the Minstrels will make a grand uniformed street parade of all the principal streets.

The Butte, Mont., Daily Miner says :—A full house greeted Gorton’s Minstrels at Maguire’s Opera House last evening for their opening performance. The troupe is sina]] in numbers, but made up of the best muterial that can possibly be collected to- gether in the minstrel line. There js nothing coarse or rough in’ the perform- ance. Everything goes with the perfect smoothness of well oiled machinery, and the result is the perfect satisfaction of the audience.
