A Point to be Noted.

Henze is one little point which should be

well cons idered by electors. It is admitted on all hands that the Geverument have been economical. Ths eee cd Opposition say they have been economical . a fauit. Defeat the Government, or

vreatly leesen their majority—and what is

the inference ! The plain inference is that the people of the Island do not appreciate r : . * . " a onomy in the public service ? What

5 , ’ 2 } follows! Future Governments will adopt

‘the dashaway policy ;’ for they will say gmong themselves, *‘ what does it matter : the people don’t like economy ; we shall probably be turned out at the end of our terra: let us make it merry for ourseives and our friends while we can; ‘* we shall stand just as good a chance for re election! lax-payers should think over these con- siderations. i they do so, and then act on election day as reasonable and prudent men, having a regard to their own pockets would do, every Government candidate wm the Prevince will be elected. enneiiens ucnieediaaligenione ‘‘Watchman’s” Letter.

ry

Tuens is no dcubt a good deal of truth in the remarks of our correspondent ‘* Watchman.” Taxation in the City has increased ; the burden falls very heavily upon the_property holders ; and the cause certainly is, not Mr. Blake’s action at the City Council Board, but the increased cost of City Schools. The City is com- pelled to bear this cost ; and it is simply the duty of the City Council to tevy for the amount required.

But it must be remembered that the im- proved City Schools were introduced by the desire of the people clearly expressed atthe polls, a majority, including nearly all the property holders

of the’ City voted for the i

the

’ troduction of those schools; the minority acquiesced with good grace; all heartily assisted in tieir estab- lishment; they are undoubtedly doing good work; if the necessary cost has increased the civic burden, the taxpayers themaelves are responsible for it; and we seo no ade- quate reason why the question should row be dragged into the contest. The question has been settled. ,

Whether or not, Latin, Greek, end Mathematics should be taught in the

achoois, and if so, whether imstruction in

these branches should be paid for by the taxpayers cr by the parents of the children who receive it, are questions of detail to be

considered by the City School Boards. What we have now to dois to sustain the

economical Government which has wateri- ally lightened the taxation of the Provirce at large. ———— —— — — — ——- > <> Oe 4% - Bank of P. B. Island

Tz Committee of eight gentlemen, no were appointed at the meeting of share- holders and others, on the 20th instant, have issued a circular to all the creditors of the Bank, asking them to write off thirty per cent. of their claims, and promising to pay the balance of seventy percent. in three annual instalments, without interest. This is, in some respects, carrying out the plan of resumption we suggested some days since. Instead, however, of asking a re-

ate of fifty per cent., as we proposed, they ask for thirty per cent. from the credit- ors. Our idea was that the rebate should be conditional; the proposition they make is absolute.

It will be a boon to the community, a blessing to the shareholders, and a pec:ni- benefit to the creditors, if the request

} no

art

as y : : 7 of the committee is promptly complied with. Time is precious; and the depositors

and other creditors should at once give the proposition immediate and earnest at- tention.

It is gratifying to find that a definite plan of resumption has at length been de- termined upon. Perhaps it was impos- sible, until the present time, to strike upon a feasible plan whereby the Bank might be lifted from the great slough of despond, into which it was so unhappily precipitated Jast Neveraber, as the exact condition of the affairs of the Institution has only re- cently become really known,—and that after much investigation and probing.

The gentlemen of the committee are interested as creditors, and we are satisfied that they have given the whole subject of the Banks’ condition careful thought ; and being business men, they have understand. ingly adopted and, through the circular, urged, the best plan of resumption that could be devised, taking into consideration the position of the Bank, and the proba- bility of its acceptance by the creditors.

We have already said that it would be for the pecuniary benefit of the creditors to accept the conditions named in the circular and we reiterate the statement. A refusal to rebate the thirty per cent. will result in the bankruptcy of the Bank. Years must then elapse before the final dividends could be paid, and no one suppozes that more than fifty per cent. would be realized, and it is doubtful if so »much—perhaps only twenty-five or thirty per cent.—would ever reach the pockets ef creditors.

The whole thing lies in a nutshell. If creditors agree to the propositions of the Committee, resumption will follow; and they will realize 70 per cent of their claims;

if they refuse tho Bank will go into liqui- Cation, and creditors may get 25 per cent., cortainiy not more than €0 per cent. of the amounts due them. Business men and others are fally aware

sly foxes gene rally appropriate the larger part of the cheese. Let the old fable be a lesson to all

interested.

Ralph V/aldo Emerson.

A short month ago, America laid its purest and sweetest singer in the gravo. Unlaurelled, inmedalled, unennobled, Longfellow received the richer tribute of a nation’s simple homage. To-day, the Republic bewails the loss of its profound philosopher, Ralph Waldo Emerson. Born at Boston, May 25, 1803, descended from Puritan forefathers, Emerson became minis- ter of a Unitarian congregation in the city of his birth, At the end of three years’ ministeriat labor, his opinions having become Pantheistic, he was induced to resign his charge. Henceforth Emerson led a semi-recluse life, devoting himself en- tirely to literature and lecturing. In 1846, he went to England, and there delivered his lectures on ‘Representative Men,” and by these he is chiefly known to the genera! reader. He published several volumes of essays, and a well-known work called ‘English Traits.” Emerson’s genius had a lyric turn, which he used as the vehtic.e his mysticism. His poems are con- sidered unmellodicus and incongruous, but they shew a lively sympathy with nature, aud have a prevailing tone of cheerfulness. ‘*Thovsand minstrel’s wake within me

Our mus‘e's on the hills.”

ot

In the classic vale of Concord, Emerson lived and died. His oftenest-used study was his dear Walden woods, a well worn way there denoting the meditative pacing to and fre. From his home at Concord, our Philosopher, Poet, and incisive Essay ist:

‘* Has gone from us for ever,

He has moved a little nearer

To the Master of all music.”

Ths Intercolonial.

Sir Charles Tupper laid on the table of the House of Commons, recenty, a return of the expenses, etc., of running the Inter colonial Railway from 1876 to the end of the fiscal year, 1881. From this return, it appears that the loss, for the three years ending June 30th, 1879, was $1,665,638, and for the year ending 30th June, 1880, the loss was $97,132, but for the year end- ing 30th June, 1881, the receipts had ex- ceeded the expenditure by $543. In this connection the comparative statement of the tariff on railways as shown by Sir Charles in a recent speech will prove interesting. According to this statement, it appears that the rate for firat-class freight per hundred atom for twenty to twenty-five miles is as

The N. Y. World’s Lendon cable says Professor Tyndall makes public the results of c«xperiments made by Dr. Koch, of Berlin, on tubercular disease. It was known before that the disease was com- municable, but Dr. Koch has ascertained the exact nature of the parasite which causes consumption. He has propagated it artificially, and killed the animals with parasites thus produced. The matter ex- pectorated from the lungs cf consumptive persons | been found te be swarming

uas with parasiies, which are h.ghly infective. Prof, Tyndall's object is to protest afresh against legislation which prohibits in Eng- land experiments such as cuabled Dr. Koch to make these discoveries. But it is hoped Dr. Koch will develop the hamless form of the tubercular parasite, which, by innocu- lation, may prevent consumption, and thus check the scourge which, according to Dr. Koch’s calculation, carries eff one- seventh of the human race.

The result, for which, however, perfect accuracy is not claimed, shows that on the average about one-third of the whele population of the city will be found at church. Amongst these were over 30,000 Presbyterians, 15,000 Baptists, about the same number of Congreyation- alists, 12,000 Episcopalians, 9,000 Metho- dists, smaller numbers of ether Protestant churches, and almost 50,000 Roman Catho- lies.

Down With the Tax Curse.

To the Editor of the Examiner.

Sir,-—If there ever was a Government in

P. E Island that deserved the hearty

thanks of the entire people, from Kast}

Point to West Cape, it is the present one. Previous to the last election this Province was stirred from centre to circumference with a ery of Opposition to the Assessment Act, and the unfair valuations of property throughout the country. Now, Sir, it would be incredible—if we did not hear it ourselves every day—to think that men could be found in this Island to come before the people with any such monstrous proposition as that of direct taxation; when we are shown, and it is proven to a demon- stration by the present Government that we have more than enough money on hand already, to meet all ordinary requirements of the country. The people, at the last election demanded economy and retrench- ment in the public expenditure and the repeal of the Assessment Act. The present Government have not only acceded to these demands, but by constant vigilance and carefulness in handling the finances of the Province have wiped off a heavy debt left by their predecessors, met the current ex- penditure, and show a handsome surpina This, Sir, is a record to be proud of. It is something that should commend itself to every thinking man in P. E. Island. If these worthies who are going about preach- ing taxation have more money than they know what to do with, let them pay it into the Treasury as taxes, but the people gener- ally have quite enough use for their hard- earned money without shelling it out to the tax-gatherers of Farquharson, Stewart & Co. I for one, say down with the tax curse, and long life to the Government that has so ably delivered us from it. Yours, etc., SAXPAYER. April 27th, 1882. ERR FS

‘‘Yoe Amateur of Music.”

T'o the Editor of the Examiner.

Srtr,—Able, honest, and sympathetic criti- cism is always an estimable boon to a com- munity. But when a person, possessed with such obtuse ears as the Patriots musical amateur,, undertakes to slur such performers as Galbraith and Hayden, together with the and. the the Glee Club, surely it is time for some one to drop ‘‘ Ye Amateur” a gentle hint of his stupidity. Now, here is an instance; ‘‘ The Band of the §2nd Battalion performed several pieces. The ‘Midnight Galop’ wss their most har. monious selection.” ‘[hisis a very amateur- ish remark—ore that suggests to me the idea that “ Amateur” himscif must have been on a ‘* midnight galop.” The Band did not play the ‘* Midniaht March” at This is but one instance selected from ‘* Amatenr’s’ waste of time and exhib‘tien of ignorance,

Somz@ clue has been obtained to the identity of the remains found in a ravine near Sutton, Que., by the information giving by a neigh- boring farmer, who recollects two men, one answering the description of the murdered man, applying to him for work last summer, He engaged the older of the two, and his younger companion disappeared the same day. After working for him a month, the supposed murderer left for the States. As the younger man had some money in his possession, it is thonght that he was murdered and robbed by his companion, the two men being last seen together near the spot where the remains were found,

A SENSATION las been created in Montreal by the news of the arrest of H. 8. W. Good hue, a young lawyer of that city, in Brussels, Belgium, on a charge of malversation of a large amount of bonds belonging to the de- posed Bishop of Tournay. Mr. Goodhue was employed to catch a sharper who had stolen the bonds, and succeeded in his mission. On returning to Brussels, he was himself taken into custody. His friends in Montreal believe that he wili come out of the ordeal with his character untarnished,’and the intervention of the Imperial Foreign Secretary has been in- voked in his behalf.

Lonpvon has its outrages on Jews as well as Russia. At an inquest held recently, Mr. Cohen, a Levite, objected to serve on a jury because his religion forbade him to look upon a dead body on that day. The coroner in- sisted that Mr. Cohen sheuld attend, which he did, warning the coroner that the gin he was about to commit was upon his head, whereupon the coroner said he would put up with all that, and the inquest proceeded. This action has not apparently been publicly denounced by anybody.

News has been received from Mr. D. Charny —went to explore the ruined cities of Central America by Mr, Pierre Lorillard, the well known New York sportsman, conjointly with the French Government —that he had succeed- ed in penetrating the country of the Locou- dones, in north-west Guatemaia, and has dis- covered the ruins of a large city, which, on account of its inaccessibility, was called the ** Phantom City.”

Mr. Tim GLerson, ex-member of the Council from the Fourth Ward, Cincinnati, says he suffered terribly with rheumatism all last winter and spring. He tried all kinds of liniments end medicines without any benefit until he used St. Jacob’s Oil, the first appli. cation of which insured a full night’s repose, and its subsequent use entirely cured him. It is a great remedy, and the sufferer’s hope.

London has its outrage upon the Jews as wellas Russia.
