The Coming Hlection.

THe coming contest in the Second) Legislative Council District of Queen's

County, is beginning to attract attention. True, it is only to filla vacancy for one year; but an expression of the opinion of the independent farmers of the Coun-

That is the whole question involved in the coming election.

Vitat do the taxpayers say?

If the farmers vote for the Government coudidate (Mr. Bovyer) they say in effect that the Goeverament has done well; if they vote for the other candidates they say in feffect that the Government has not done well, aud that they desire a re- newal of the Tax Acts.

We are pleased to learn that Mr. Bov- yer has been well received at the meet- ings which have been held ; and we hope that every elector will vote in favor of our economica! Government.

The Island’s Claim

“Should Canada suffer political death in the near futtre, sectional greed will be reponsible for its murder. Frem different localities come un- reasonable demands on the Deminion Treasury;

but that from PrinceE | ward island carries off the

the palm, This little Island claimsa sub-marine railway under Cumberland Strait, to connect with the Mainland, at an estimated cost of $4,000.09, and an actual cost that nobody could focosee Because this demand has not been gr l at Ottawa,the Island has sent a compiaint to E»eciand. Onits admission intothe Union, P. E isand was deait within the most liberal way. The farmers of that Province owe their freehoids te a payment made by the Dominion Treasury. This. parwent was used by Manitoba as a means

jneezing the Dominion,on the ground that that P-ovines was entitied to equal treatement. If

the disgrace can ever be quite washed away. Colonel Valentine Baker, it is true, is the idol of the English people ; but he is a_ soldier, the lustre of whose bravery has hidden his offence, which, moreover, bad as it was, was not of the re- pulsive character of Sir Charles Di'ke’s. in spite of the evident laxity in some eirclesa of society in Englaud, the heart of the nation is still, we trust, sufficiently sound to disable him from political life. True it is that there is no greatness without morality; without this the greatest intellect cannot command the respect of the simplest. A Napoleon may astonish the world for a day, and compel a temporary homage; but nothing of his fame endures save what is of moral worth.”

—Referring to the decision of the Privy Council in re the Exchange Bank, the Montreal correspondent of the Toronto Mail makes the following state- ment respecting the affairs of that in- stitution: “The federal government will not lose any of its funds by the judgment, as the Hon. A. W. Ogilvie is personal security as a bond to the Gov- ernment for $100 000, which will more than cover the deficiency of the assets of ihe bank. The liquidators will pay a

th: present preposterous demand, were complied

h.no end of marauding clainis on the Dominion | TJreasary would spring out of it. In such unequivocal refusal is the first duiy of tu Gcvernment.”

This paragraph was clipped from respectable aud iadependent Mone» } Times. ‘The writer thinks, of course, that he knews all abou! the matter, and bas submitted it to ¢! ile classes of Canada as it ou vu submitted. Judgiag by the sty! hich he writes, he is tolerably we!! eJucated ;’and yet he dovsn’t kuow even the name of the Straii involved in the case, Nor does he know that the Island has not demanded a sub- marine railway uoder the Strait. . This Province has made no other demand than that the Terms of Union between her aud Canada—the marriage boud— bo Fulfilled. [¢ is trae that Senator Howlan has propounded a scheme by which Canada may be enabled to honor- ably discharge her obligation, and that the scheme has been approved by Shanley and other eminent engineers who say that it may be carried out for not more than $5,000,000. But Canada ought fo feé] thankful to Senator Howlan for pointing out to her the way she can execu'e the bond «he is ander to provide * efficient steam service for the convey-

nuce of mails aud passengers” “between

’

the Island and the mainland of the Dominion” “ wioter and summer” “ thus placing the Island in continuous com- wunicalion with the Intercolonial Rail- way aud the Raiiway system of the Dominion”; and we feel sure that when

she fully understands the nature of her obligation she will do so.

Nor ough! a coantey which has gained

dit by spanning the Great Prairie and ky Mountains at a cost of $100,- that she might carry th of union with British Colambia, suffer a loss of confidence in her good faith for the sake of $5,000,090 which is the highest estimate yet made

of the expenditure that will be required to make good her bargain with Prince} Etward Island. The interest of $5,000,-

000—two hundred thousand dollars a year—is not a very great outlay for Canada; and it should be remembered! that the annual cost of the Northern Light | acd the annua! subsidies now paid by her to the summer steamers will be saved, while the increased receipts of the Gorerument Railway, asa result of close connection with tho railway system of the Continent, will, of themselves, | thera are good grounds for believing, aggregate $100,000 a year, or half the

made « ground for similar demands by o het Provinces is not valid; for every other ‘vovince is now already in “continuous

Supreme Court, Kings County.

GrorGetown, Feb. 23, 1886.

The Court re-opened this morning in the School House amidst somewhat of confu- sion. Mr. Justice Hensley took his place on the Bench shortly after lla. m, and the crier in accents wild formally declared Her Majesty’s Supreme Court open.

The first case called on was that of the Massey Manufacturing Oompany vs. Joha McPhee, an action brought to recover the amount of three promissory notes alleged to have been signed by the defendant, but which he denied having signed. The sig- natures to the notes were the signatures of a marksman, and the witness to the notes was absent from the Isiand. The trial lasted all the forenoon, and in the after- noon the jury returned witha verdict for the defendant. Mr. Morson appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Fred. Peters for the defendant.

Michael Brennick, appellant, and Henry Beara, jrespondent (two cases). In these two cases Mr. Wyatt, for the respondent, moved that the appeals be dismissed and convictions below confirmed.

Michael Burke, appellant, and Edwin Clay, respondent—two appeal cases from convictions under the Scott Act. By con- sent of Mr. Peters, for appellant, and Mr. Wyatt, for respondent, one appeal was dis- missed, and the judgment+appealed from affirmed with costs, and ia the other case ihe appeal was allowed, and the judgment below reversed without costs.

Alexander Martin appellant and Audrew Money respondent—Appeal from a convic- tion under the Scott Act. Heard and judgment reserved.

F’. Peters and A. A. McLean for appel- lant, D. C. McLeod and Wyatt for respond- ent.

Alexander Martin appellant and Edwin Clay respondent—Appeal from & conviction under the Scott Act. Appeal heard and dismissed with costs and eonviction affirm- ed.

Peters and McLean for appellant, and D. ©. McLeod and Wyatt for respondent.

Same vs. same—Appeal heard and judg- ment below reversed. Question of costs reserved,

Peters and McLean for appellant, and D. ©. McLeod and Wyatt for respondent.

The court adjourned at 6 o’clock till Tuesday morning at 11 a. m.

Great interest appeared to be manifested in the Scott Act appeals, the school room being crowded to excess during the whole

afternoon. —— Do —
