A FEW QUESTIONS.

Mr. Wanscrton had the pleasure of Being present in Toronto at one of the

sumerous Liberal banquets;and he made & pretty speech io reaponse to waich the! Premier of Ontario said :

“I am delighted to be here to-night and | to hear not only a most distinguished mem- ber of the Government of the Dominion but aleo a most distinguished member of the Government of that little island Pro- vince of the ocean. Iam snre we extend tothe new Premier of Prince Hdward Island a most cordial! and hearty welcome. (Cieers.) Itia the first time we bave had she opportunity of seeing him, and I trust we w:ll see him often here, and if his policy is-only half as good as his looks, it 3 a)! that any manor woman would de- sire.”

This ia o!l very fee. Bat isn’t it about time that the people ofthis Province were informed concerning the resalts of the gover: ment’s operations in the past year and the prospects for the future? What about that million or mor? to be obtained ftom the Domision government? What about the prevent state of the public debt? What has the Commiesioner of Public Worke been doing? What about the proposed addition to the hospital for the insane and the new Prioce of Wales College building? What about exbhibi- tions in this Province? These are questions concerning which the people are much more interested than about Mr. Warburton’s post-prandial addresses in Toronto or his good lookr; and

this is the time in which they have leisure to consider the Government’s proposals.

A NEW TSIAL.

Tne fact that a new trial has been order ed inthe case of Mrs. Sternaman, found guilty of having murdered her husband by means of pcison, has created a great deal of discussion throughout the country. No more atrocious crime can be imagined. The woman was convicted after a fair irial. But it is alleged that ove of the doctors employed in the case eaw some liqaid io the murdered man’s throat which was not referred to in the evidence, that affidavits have been laid before the Cabine; concerning representations which, if they had been made at the trial, might have shanged the result, and that eight of the jurymen have stated that if they had known that their recommendation to mercy would have they would not have convicted Mre, Sternaman, Upon these grounds the Government have taken the responsibility of ordering a new trial. It is objected that these grounds are flimsy, and that it is important not to establish a precedent for loug protractey proceedings »u criminal cases,—ar in the United States. Certainly, a mistake will have been made if courts and juries con- elude that their verdicts in criminal cases way not be fioal. Such an idea wou'd be very apt to beget loosenesa in the conduct of trials; aod of this the lawyers in oriminal cases wou'd be ready to teke advantage and petition for wew trials in- volving expense to the country and render- wg the prompt punishment of crime uncertain. One thorough trial ought to be as good as a dozen,

Commenting on the application for a new tria! the Ottawa Journal rays: “The result seems to be a compromise betweon ube feeling that the law should be carried ont and aitrong demand for clemency,

coupledwith the idea that the general sentiment of the country would be shock-

been ignored

YHE DAILY EXAMINER, CHARLOTTETOWN, JANUARY 24, 1898

NOTES AND COMMENTS

—A bad day to leave the track.

—It appears that the table cf rates on the Intervoloniai Railway recently issued has been withdrawn, and thet Mr. Blair and Mr. Harris declare it to brve been istued in mistake, Such mistakes ought not to occur.

—The mejority of the people of the United States will probably awake, ere loog—as the Boston Chamber of Com- merce has elready done,—to the mo.cumental blunder that was committed when the Reciprocity Treaty of 1854 was abrogated by their government.

—-It is pleasing to learn that the trade of Montreal bas been large'y increased since last year. The Star reports: “we have added nearly halfas mach again to our grain exports; we have given our cheese exports a lift, aud have raised our shipments of lumber by neirly a hundrdd million feet.” ee

ESTEEVED EXCHANGES.

Hamilton Herald: Laurier’a ways are again illustrated to extract sunshine from cyclical.

surny by hie abikty the "papai en-

Montreal Gazette: Though the Legisla- ture (of Quebec) enacted a bundred and nine new laws at tre late session its record was not so bad as might have been. It killed a hundred and two bills.

Halifax Herald: Some people would have ua believe that while Mr. Blair is Minister ,ot Railways and Mr. Harrie General Traffic Manager with « free hand, somebody else makes and publishes new freight rate tables! The question whether Mr. Havris is n mythe, may be revived.

Buffalo Enquirer: Russe!l Sage, the New York millionaire, while talking about himself the other diy, said: “I have always been guided by my Heavenly Father.” This may betrue, but the conviction will force itself on many people that there have been times when Russell lost sight of his conductor.

press they are out considering their verdiet. A controversy is going on in the Irish

press as to the most advantazvous port of call forthe new Canadian fast Atlantic service. The Tuam Berald and other newspapers of the scuth urge the claims of Galway as opposed to Derry, on the grounds that the former is the nearest by ‘and to Dublio and affords the shortest Atlantic route. Petersen, Tate & Co., the contracting firm, have not yet made a selection, and ‘will no doubt be guided in & great measure by the wishes of the British aud Canadian Governtent:.

ad by the hanzing of awoman, even whep aie ia known to be a murderess, Th’ oase is the first of the kind, and resembles the Shortis reprieve in that itreems to be the result of weakoess or want of decision among the ministers who had to deal with it. Vhere was ip the declaration of the jury that the extension of mercy might be just fiab'e, ground for a commutation of the sentence, if ihe Minister of Justice conld on examining the case, find reasons, for viemency. The new trial ordered will be the Grst ofits kind in Canada. It will es'alilish » precedent that is too likely to be frequendiy appealed to, and the effect of which cao hamily be cther than to weaken the handoftthe law in desling with the gravest of crimes. Sharp lawyers, taking advantage cf such appeals, have, in the United States, brought about a condition | of sffaire in the administration of the law

where capital punishment is in- volved, that, by common consent, amounts to a scandal. Canadian

lawyers are oot likely to show tnemselves

Jess determined to prevent their clie.ts

being hanged than are there United States fellows. Appeais for new trials will come to follow convictions for murder almost ag! @matier of course, and the lahorof the Minister of Justice in dealing with capital aavee will greately increase, as well as the expense of the proceedings connected there - with. It will be remarkable,. too, if the wacapes from just/punishment donot aleo iaerease.”

An unfavourable view is taken in Lon« don of the financial position of Austria,and it is based on economic conditions.

Prices are son.ewhat easier, and while some agents are selling their choicest brands at 20 1-2 to 21 cents, others are fighting hard for 21 1-2 cents, but those who are selling low- est will win iv the tug of sale, and succeed in lowering prices, as we!l asthe pockets of the Australian dairymen. There 1s in the North of England a very guod demand for Canadian creamery butter, and a Manchester choicest qualities have broug from 21 1-2 to 22 3-4 cents wholesale,thus exceeding the price for the Australian pre- duct.

LEITER’S GRAIN,

How He !s Transferring it, and Other Interesting Particulars,

The New York World prints the follow: ing telegram from Chicago: “Joseph Leiter ie vow transferring 2,500,000 bushels of his wheat from the Armour elevators into the holds of vessels in order to save store ge and at the same time be ready to rush the grain to market when the time comes. From 9,000,000 bushels Lziter’s line has increased to 15,000,000 bushels. He owns about all the contract wheat iv this market about 9,000,600 bushels, He - has at Duluth about 1,000,000 bushels and at Minneapolis another 1,000,000. He controls about 540,000 bushels at Buffalo, and has some grain abroad. The owner- ship of over 11,000,000 bushels of cash wheat, almost a third of the visible supply, would make any interest at this time of the year a factor. Leiter’s influence is the more commanding by reasou of his grain being of the contract quality, and amount- ingto at least 75 per cent, of the whole stock in storehouses available for delivery on speculative sales, Bet this does not end his interest. No one knows how large his purchases for future delivery are. The pit assumes that he is “long” 50),000 bushels for January, and that he has several! million bought for may.
