NOTES AND COMMENTS

] >» M iimes pou te oul that icks brought from Ontario (pur- ebased from President Jattray of the Tesonto Globe) and used in the new rail- way «tation, cost Jaid down in Moncton, shout forty dellars a thousand. Ourown pressed bricks could be furnisbed for about half the cost.” Business is busines, you ax vow. —Mr. Mallory and Mr. Haycock, the

leaders, allege that the order is all rig and otherwise. The Montreal Gazette thinks that ihe test of this opinion can be left till the Ontario election date. If it is not then shown that the Patron movement has starved on the stubble of the Grit farm, there will be an apology due to the directors.

Patron “ght politically

— The Toroato Globe raises a plea for Mr. Tarte that be should not be condemned until be bas been investigated and found guilty. This causes the Montreal Gazette to remark that tbe breed of the ox that is being gored makes a great difference in the noint of view of the Untario organ of the Laurier Gover : paper that during the last election campaign raised a daily shriek that Sir Charles Tupper was a robber and a fraud is in a poor posi- tion to ask for tair treatment for a beemircbed friend. Sir Charles Tupper was neither investigated nor found guitity; nor will any Liberal in a respons: ble posi- tion even propose to investigate him.

—The expense of sending a team of twenty men to Bisley every year is getting out of all proportion to the rece.pis of the D. R. A., according to an exchange. In 1893 it cost $5,448.21, and in 1896, $5,656. 47. The expenditure for the team for i897 will bethe largest yet. They were sent a week earlier than thetr predecessors at acost of $400 or $500. They were transported to and from Liverpool in some of the best and most expensive ships sail- ing outof Montreal,at an edditional cost of $400 or $500. The allor ance for matn- tenance in England has been increased from 63 per day to Ss, and now 10s is allowed. The Military Gazetie 8 ys that the revenue of the D. R. A.,is not increasing, while the expenditure is, so that it is imperative that the money prizes be reduced at the Ottawa meeting or the expenditure on Bisley cur- tailed. It isa fallacy to suppose tbat an additional $5,600 per year can be obtained from the Government.

SIR CHARLES TUPPER _————e a Denies [Tiat he Intends giving up the Conservative Li adership, Wixxieec, Man., September 26,—Sir Charles Tupper reached Winnipeg on Saturday,accompanied by Lady Tupper, and spent Sunday with his son here. The veteran leader was somewhat fatigued after the long journey last night, but other wise is ip excellent health. Sir Mackenzie Rowell also arrived by the same train ae Sir Charles. Both deny that their visit west has any political significance. Interviewed tonigh’, Sir Charles Tupper said :—“Sir Mackenzie Bowell and myself met purely by chance. I nad no com- munication with him since I left for Great Britain, and | am = quite sure that Sir Mackenzie B well and Hon. Mr Mac~ donald have been as much amused and surprised at the arrangements inverted for the management of the Liberai-Conserva— tive party by our opponents as I have been myself. It is quite true that I am devoting a large amount of attention to the manage- ment of the gold mining interests that I have been appoiated to take charge of, heving made large pecuniary sacrifices to accept the leadership of the Liberal- Conservative party in Canada, I have felt at liberty to meet the pecuniary demadds upon myself by devoting a portion of my time to business, @ course rendered necessary by the loss of the income which I previously enjoyed. [| have the satisfaction of believing that in exerting myself iu securing @ substantial return to the British capitalists who have formed the companies with which Iam connected, I will not only be providing for my own necessities, but adopting a course that will be eminently ben¢ficial to the country. I cannot but feel flattered, however, by the evident anxiety of the Government press to dissociate me from my connection with the party who have honored me by making me their leader. When I went to England on business to which I referred, the Liberal press proclaimed that I would never return, but when I returned sooner than they desired, they invent tnat I wish to sever my connection with the Liberal- Conservative party. I should imagine that they have just now more pressing and impertant affairs to deal with in the threatened disintegration of their own perty to which they will probably find it much more profitable to devote themselves than to the political arrangement of their opp ments.”

THE EXHIBITION M4NAGEMENT.

tak ng shares was to promote the agricul- tural interests of the Pre vince, seeing that shipbuilding was ‘‘a thing of tue past” and that the Province was thrown upon agri-

cultural and fishing resources

encumbrance.

I regret to say that in my opinion the exhibits of vegetables, fruit, &:, have

proved a failure, there has been a marked f Il.ng off in this respect since the Extib.- tea ground were opened. There should be two classes for exhibition. At present the products of the plew have to compete with our Market gardeners anu amateur experts for vegetables. Tuis is most unfair. Half a dozen people residing within a mile of Charlottetown have, for years, carried off most of the prizes. There should be two classes of prizes, first and most important for the products of the plew in not than one acre of ground, such as mangle wut zl, turnips, corn, etc Chere should be a -ecoud competition among gardeners aud amateurs. It is folly to suppose that the products of the plow can compete with @ person who cultivates about an acre of ground highly fertilized.

Then, again, judges should not be com- petitors. There is a suspicion that “log- rollicg” has been going on, as judges are appointed from competing classes. It would be better to ask someof our “old folks” who are not interested and havea good knowledge of gardening to act as

are short sighted ia charging the excessive eatrance fees they do. They are killing the business. In these days of low prices nobody caresto pay more than 25 cents for a days run of the exhibition. At pre- sent the rates are 25 cents for onening day. } If it happens to bea fine day some folks: who bave money to spare go out to witness | the opening ceremony,and hear His Honors address. The attractive days are the two days of the races. I consiier it an imposi ; tion toask visitors to pay 50 cents for each day, and if they happen to I@ave the, grounds during the day on business and ; return the same day another 50 cents is exacted.

I think a fifty-cent ticket should be good for the four days of the exhibition, anda twenty-five cent ticket for one dav. Cheap rates would attract crowds of people who stay away becaure they consider fifty cents | an imposition.

Several joint stock companies in our small community have gone down and been revived agaia on a reduced capital, the original owners getting «bout twenty- five cents cn the deliar. This bas been so with the flour m:ll, the Inland Steam Navigation C>, and tae gas works. It is hard upon the shareho dera, but upon the whole I think it is the best plan, as it infuses new life into played out companies. Possibly it would be the best course for the Exhibition Company to go through this profess. Purchasers would be found who would bid for the Exhibition grounds what they considered it worth asa paying speculation, and then they weuld go alead.

Your obedient servant, Dania Davigs. Ch’town, Sept. 28th.

THE TARTE-GRENIER CASE.

Mr, —Admits He Was Mistaken, MoyrrgaL, Sept. 26.- The case for the prosecution finished at Saturday’s sitting of the court of Queen’s bench and the defence will begin tomorrow morning.

was

Mr. Tarte is to be called by the defence. He Saturday afternoon voluntered the ivformation that he bead been mistaken when he had said be did pot know the $5,000 received from Pacaud came from J.P. Whelan. The judge would not allow him to give the names of those to whom he paid the money. He did not remember that Mr. Carlebois was treasurer and consequenily he could not have himself paid the money frem Rimouski. He aid it was matter of

appreciation whether the credit of the legislature was discuunted in the Langelier $5,000 note matter. As the government vas dismissed on Sey termber Tch, 1891, he did not go on with the printing fur which the letter of credit wasgiven. It was an open secret now that for some time previously the Mercier government could not transact avy business He had not paid the note but had intendedto do so. He had asked Mr. Ha'! to allow him to go on with the

printing. He mentioned that he had the letter of credit but it was ‘not he who had discounted it. The

credit of the province was so little involv- ed that he did not make any protest. He was quesiioned at length about the Beem- er pipe deal and said that the money he got from Benjamin Trudet was for servic- es rendered. What were the services? He had prepare} memoranda snd written

articles in La Canadien. He did not know what Trudet did with these, “Was it necessary to work the al ermen to vote

for lowesttender ?” The defesce objected and the court maintained the objection This brought out a vigorous protest from Mr. Leboeuf. They bad to show that Mr. Tarte was a boodler and the court refused to allow them the legal means. Mr. Tarte said he did not keep books. He denied getting $1,500 trom tne Lake St. John railway. The list of payments amounted t» $8,000 made to him by Mr. McGreevey He said was not for himself personally bat for the paper Le Canadien. In 1877 hie had sold all his financial interest in that paper. McGreevy had asked him to buy the paper and had advanced sams upto$!,500 or $2,000. This wasthe man he drove out of parliament. Mr. Gobeil, deputy minister of public works, was calied but it was ruled his evidence could only be givenin rebuttal. The case was then clo-ed by the ealling of minor witnesses.

MISS BOOTH’S MEETING.

Sirn,—I feel after reading Mr. “On- Jooker’s” untruthful remarks I should give our friends at least an explanation as many have asked our soldiers about the matter. Anyone can see “Qnlooker’s” remarks were not an objection but a nasty spirit underneath it all.

The expenses of the meeting were heavy and only a silvercollection was announced tbrough press etc. The widow and mite in question was not refused admission bat was on hand when the doorkeeper told “Onlooker” the admission was silver collection. She did not attempt to go in, and since has said “Qnloooker’s” remarks were not true, did not put in any money but came away and met “Onlooker” telling his ta'e of woe. This lady says several of her friends went in free, and will see the door keeper and explain she did not make any objection.

A good number went in and did not pay. Even prominent business men, who no doubt took part in the inside collection. The army is not sustained and kept up by “cranks” and “Onlookers,” but by friends who cheerfully pay what they can and )we are proud to say manv widows are among vur best friends. Weare glad to know the audience at Miss Booth’s meet- ing was made up of Army friends and well-wishers which Charlottetown is noted for. Trusting our friends will not pay any attention to anynomous “QOnlooker.”

Yours sincerely, Apst.J. MoGi.iivary. isnisisinsi lili ine

Who does not know women and young

girls who are continually in tear-? Who always see the dark side? Who have

frequent fits of melancholy without any apparent cause? The iatelligent physician will know that it is some derangement of the complicated and delicate feminine ergans. The young girl suffers, bodily and mentally, in silence. There is undue weariness, uuexpected pain, unreasona le tears and fits of temper. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription exerts a wonderful power over woman’s delicate organism. Iv is an invigorating tonic and isa specific for the peculiar weaknessés, irregularities and painful desangements of woman. Careless, easy going doctors frequeutly treat their women patients for biliousness, nervousness, dyspepsia, liver or kidney troubles, when the real sickness is in the organs distiretly feminine, and no help cancome till they are made perfectly strong by the use of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription.
