Tue Premier and Mr. Cartwright ar- ranged with the Local Premier of Nova Scotia that the elections in that Province should take place simultancously with those of the Dominion. And yet, you know, there should be ‘‘no alliance between the Federal and Provincial Governments !” Mr. McKenzie thus strangles a former pro- fession, squarely in the face of the peopie, when appealing for a renewal of confidence on the part of the electorate.—Ottawa Citizen.

As defamers of our people, Messrs. Cart- wright and McKenzie. are well matched. Mr. Cartwright’s insult to the Highlanders is now well known. It devolved upcn the Premier to offer an unmitigated insult to our Irish fellow-citizens. At the meeting in the Rink in Halifax, Mr. McKenzie, in a most contemptuous manner, asserted that Sir John A. McDonald’s party were sup- ported by the ‘‘shillaleh.” This unpro- voked insult should be remembered by our Celtic friends. The public will be anxious to know whom this worthy pair will next malign.

Tne preliminary examination of — the prisoners Johnston and Millner was con- cluded before the Stipendiary Magistrate this forenoon. The missing witness Curran appeared and gave evidence similar to that taken before the coaoner’s jury. Nothing has been heard from the witness Lyngh, and the Court decided to conclude the examin. ation without further delay. The Magis- trate informed Mr. Haszard, who was watching the case for the Crown that on Friday Mr. Hodgson, counsel for the prisoners, strongly pressed that they be re- manded for manslaughter. Mr. Haszard said that after carefully considering the evidence he thought the Crown was willing that they should be remanded on_ that charge. ‘The Magistrate: was very glad to find that the Crown was willing that such a remand should be made, as it relieved him of the great amount of responsibility which would. rest on him had he to send the prisoners for trial on a charge of murder. He therefore ordered that the prisoners Johnston and Millner to jail to await their trial at the next sitting of the Supreme Court on a charge of manslaughter.

An Error Corrected. 3

To the Editor of the Examiner.

Sir,—A short article appearod in my paper of to-day, relative to the duty on machinery, wherein an error occurs, which I desire to cor- rect through your columns. The article re- ferred to was written in great haste, and the mistake into which I inadvertently fell, was not detected until the whole impression was struck off. Weare all liable to err, and the man who is not willing to correct any false impressions his language may have conveyed, is not an honest reviewer of the subjects he discusses. 1 stated in my article that, when machinery was imported into Canada which could not be manufactured at home, it was subject to duty of 10° per cent. But when machinery which can be manu- Jactured at home, was imported, it came in duty free. 1 should have said that when machinery which can be manufactured at home was imported it is subject to a duty of 173 per cent, This, of course, puts the matter in a more favorable light for the present policy, but still the tariff might be improved by readjust- ment. Under Sir John A. Macdonald machinery which could not be manufactured in Canada, and which was used in manufactur- ing, was allowed to enter free of duty. The present Government changed this, and now impose a duty cf 10 per cent. on machinery not the mantufactnre of the Dominion. Yours very truly, Jd. Hf. Purrcrer,

mt oem cahcoiniel The Drill Shed Meeting. To the Elitor of the Examiner:

Sir,—Each issue of the Patrioi contains an onslaught onthe Hon. Frederick Brecken, either by the editor or some masked anony- mous correspondent. ‘The Drill Shed disturb- ance (if such it can be called) is magnified into such proportions that any person not present on that occassion would be led to believe that

|Mr. Brecken is vulgarly called a ‘‘rowdy” and ‘‘a leader of rowdies” by the detestable Pat- riot. -Any person present at the Drill Shed on that famous Monday, knows that Mr. srecken only asked in the most gentlemanly manner permission to correct a statement} made by Mr. Cartwright, assuring the Chair- | man that he would not exceed tive minutes. In a coarse and very undignified way the gen- tlemanly (7) Chairman replied, ‘‘No; you will not speak here.” Mr. Brecken, seeing the de- termination of the Grits to choke off any dis- cussion or even explanation, attempted to re- quest the audience to listen to Mr. McKenzie, but the hooting of the Grit gentlemen con- tinued.

The Patriot wishes its readers to believe that Conservatives alone made the noise. If a count had been taken it would have been clearly proven that numerically the Grits had the majority. The political stock of the Pat- riot must be well nigh exhausted, or he would not resort to such despicakle means to assist his cause. The sensitive editor is quite silent in reference to the conduct of the rowdy and drunken supporters of the ‘‘Reform” party at

SYDNEY COAL.

RESUCTION IN PRICE!

NOTICS TO THE PUBLIC!

rAXHE GENERAL MINING ASSOCIA-

TLON (Limited) beg to intimate to the Public that the price of SYDNEY COAT has been

Reduced to $2 per ton of 2240 Ibs.. a price which it is hoped will place it within the reach of all consumers,

The opening of the new winning at ‘‘ THE SYDNEY MINES” and the fact that the SYDNEY COAL now being shipped is all from the DEEP taken in connection with re cent improvements in the process of screening, affords purchasers a positive guarantee of the very superior quality and condition of the SYDNEY COAL now offered for sale.

it is a well-know fact that for many years past the prices of other Cape Breton coals have been regulated by the rates tixed for SYDNEY COAL; but while it is true that other coals, to get a sale at all, have been pressed on the market at various prices under the current rate of SYDNEY COAL, it is no less true that, taking into account the superior lastin qualities of SYDNEY COAL when smamaie with other Cape Breton coals, the advantage, both as to economy and convenience, is in favor of SYDNEY COAL, even at a much higher price. ,

The General Mining Association (Limited) regret that they should again have to caution the Public against the attempts being made from time to time to induce them to buy in- ferior coals purporting to be ‘‘ EQUAL TO SYDNEY,” **“SUPERIOR TO SYDNEY,” etc., etc., while some yet more unscrupulous vendors have not hesitated to advertise their coal as SY DNEY COAL (from some designated locality). ..\1l these efforts to sell coal by such means are only so many admissions on the part of those who make them of the sranparp character of SYDNEY COAL.

It has come to the knowledge of the Asso- ciation that in frequent instances parties giving orders to truckmen and others for SYDNEY COAL have been furnished with other and inferior coal. The Public are cautioned against permitting themselves to be imposed apon in this way.

Every vessel loaded at THE SYDNEY MINES is furnished with a certificate of the cargo being Sydney Coal. Parties purchasing should satisfy themselves by demanding the production of this certificate.

The ‘‘ Sydney Coal”’ is registered under the laws of the Dominion, and unauthorized parties using the Trade Mark *“‘SYDNEY COAL” are liable to prosecution,
