The Debt.

On the Ist day of July, 1877, the Public Debt ‘ of Canada was. 174,675,834 9%

On the Ist July, 1874, it

was $141,163,551 53

Total increase of Public Debt between Ist July, 1874, and Ist 1 e July, 1877 $33,512,283 64

It will be remembered that McKenzie and Cartwright took office in November, 1873; so that well within the time they held office—in three years—the Public Debt of Canada was increased by the enor mous amount of $33,512,283.64.

Abusive Ministers.

Ir is stated by the Grits that Messrs. Mc- Kenzie and Cartwright’s visit, was for the purpose of explaining the policy of the Gov- ernment. If so, they have taken a most singular method of affecting their object. It has always been considered the privilege of electors to ask proper and pertinent ques- tions of public men. McKenzie and Cart- wright answered such questions by torrents of abuse. A respectable and intelligent elec- tor asked the Premier to explain the Steel Rail transaction. He was told that he knew more about brass faces than he did about Steel Rails. Mr. Cartwright told an elec- tor in Summerside who asked for an expla- nation, that to answer him would be casting perls before swine. Another elector who asked a simple question received the re- tort : ‘‘I am amazed at his ignorance.” Well might the elector respond, ‘Il am amazed at your effrontery.” Such eonduet as this, on the part of public men, should be resented by intelligent men of all parties. It is but too apparent that McKenzie be- lieves in the power of a ‘* brazen face” to slur over his blunders and corrupt prac- tices ; and it is on points where he is most ezregriosly wrong, such as Steel Rails, for instance, that he is most abusive,

Not an article has appeared in the ExaMINeR about the Pre- mier’s Visit to the Island which is not a tissue of the most shameless misrepresentations. Little better, perhaps. could be expected from one who, side by side with John McMasters, howled himself hoarse in his attempts to put down the Premier of Canada—/Patrwt.

The gentle editor's spirits are ruffled — not without cause. The Premier showed clearly that a duty oa flour and grain could not raise their prices in this country. The Premier gave the gentle editor a rather sharp rap over the knuckles. No wonder he whimpers. As for Dr. MelIntyre, he

Milton Meeting.

Pursuant to notice a public meeting of the electors of Milton and vicinity was held in the Hall on the evening of the 13th inst. Mr. Jonas Carter oceupied the chair.

Mr. Pope, at the call of the chairman, came forward and addressed the audience. He went fully into the trade question, de- elared himself in favor of Reciprocal Free Trade and would support any measure cal- culated to bring it about; was opposed to an increase in the tariff, but felt confident that a judicious readjustment would have the desired effect. 1t was plain to any sensible man that the consumer paid the duty on all articles not produced in his own country. Why, then, do the self-styled Free Traders of the Grit party put a heavy duty on the poor man’s tea, sugar, ete., and at the same time allow the Yankees to glut our market with their surplus produce, thus compelling our own farmers to seek a foreign market? It had been said that the policy of the Op- position would inerease the price of flour. This was a false ery, raised by interested parties to deceive the people. As there is not only sufiicient grown in the Dominion for the use of its people, but also a large surplus exported, no legislation could affect the price of the flour we consume. (Mr. Pope here read an extract from one of Mr. Me- Kenzie’s speeches in support of this.) There was nearly as much grain imported from the States as was grown in the Province alto- gether. No part of the Dominion would profit as much by a re adjustment or by Reciprocity as this Island. He had no faith in the present party—they got ‘up false cries to cover up their own doings, and when cor- nered, their excuse invariably was, Sir John did the same. They ‘‘elevated the stan- dard” and put down bribery and corruption with “‘lots of money;” thirty of them were unseated for corrupt practices, men whose crimes were rank and ‘‘smelt to heaven’ became confidential friends, the whole pub- lic lost confidence in the men at the helm of the ship of state, and a general depres- sion of trade followed. The foregoing is but a mere outline of Mr. Pope’s speech. He went fully into the Pacific Railway schemes of the two parties and other mat- ters. His concluding remarks were? Gentlemen, two years ago you elected me to represent one of the most intelligent con- stituencies in the Dominion. I have acted with a single eye to the interests of this Provinee, and if you again do me the same honor, nothing will be left undone, on my part, to foster and advance the various in- terests of onr people.

Mr. Brecken said, as Mr. Pope had gone over the Trade Question so fully and ably, he would confine himself to a few general remarks. We had here an _ extensive country, and the various interests of the people should be wisely fostered and pro- tected. To this end, a re-adjustment of the present tariff was absolutely necessary. It was a pity that there was so much sel- fishness, so much party feeling and bitter- ness. so much jealousy to hinder the more speedy development of the many resources of our extensive country. Our population being small, we should encourage the sur- plus population of the great cities of Europe to come and _ settle in our unculti- vated lands. Politicians cannot create trade, but, with the energy and enterprise of the people, and a good Government to remove obstructions and give good laws, we would expect a great future for our country. He well remembered the time we had reci- procity with the -United States, and how farm produce obtained a ready market and good prices, and had no doubt but it could be obtained again by taking the proper course. Ii those who are new trying to mislead the people lose their political pap, let them work for their bread as others do. He had no _- confidence im the Grit Party. Our representatives in the Commons were dumb as quadrupeds when n attempt was made to disfranchise our }..2g men anda number of our old men. their price on joining with McKenzie, and when the late incumbent went to the North- west not one of them had the manliness to claim it. told to send the right man—a man fit to be- he would get the seat.

The Foul-Tongue Cure.

Messrs. McKenzie and Cartwright met the same fate in Charlottetown as in other places in which they have spoken in the Maritime Provinces. They are listened to attentively so long as they confine them- selves to the topics of the day. But when- ever they attempt to introduee personalities or to make offensive allusions to their op- ponents, they are stopped at once. That is the way we did it in Halifax. That is the way they managed in Pictou, and that is the plan they adopted in Charlottetown. Whenever Mr. Cartwright’s foul tongnue— the foulest, says Rose-Belford’s Magazine, in Canada, except Mr. Jones’—led him astray, he was *‘brought up witha round turn.” Whenever Mr. McKenzie used insulting language, whether in Halifax, Pictou or Charlottetown, he was ‘‘ brought up with a jerk.” The pair have certainly received some lessons in good manners that will last them for a time.— Ife, Reporter.

A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.

Under the Influence of the Eclipse.

In the dark path of the late eclipse across Texas, 116 miles in width, there were thou- sands of ignorant people, both white and black, who had not heard that anything pe- culiar was about to happen. Many of these people the eclipse surprised at work in their fields. Many ludicrous scenes are reported. Especially on the plantation of United States Senator Coke, near Waco, was it that the negroes went to praying, believing verily that tle day of judgment had come. A ter-/ rible tragedy in Johnson County may be set down to the eclipse. Ephram Miller, col- ored, with his family of wife and four chil- dren, lived near Buchanan, in that County, whither he had removed from Tennessee six months ago. On the morning of the eclipse he said he had heard the world was coming toanend that evening, and if so, he in- tended to be so sound asleep the trumpet of the Angel Gabriel could not awaken hin. When the eclipse commenced and the dark- ness of totality came on he ran from the field to his house with a hatchet in his hand. He was followed by a negro woman named Nancy Ellison, who also thought the world was coming toanend. As she got to the house Miller’s wife rashed under the same delusion, and looking up at the beautiful coronation of light around the black moon, screamed, ‘‘Come, sweet chariot !” at the same time rushing across a* cotton field wringing her hands. In the meantime, Miller, wishing to take his ten-year-old boy with him to the other side of Jordan, raised his hatchet and split. his sen’s head open. Leaving the latter weltering in his blood and struggling in the last throes of death, the father, on a ladder. ascended to the top of the house. Here with a new razor he cut his throat from ear to ear, and fell to the ground a-corpse. His two little daughters escaped by hiding under a bed.

AN action of trespass was tried before Theoph.

The facts of the case are these : A cow belonging to the plaintiff, along with several others, broke into a grain field belonging to the defend

airt’s brother. The brother drove them off and penned them up im a field belonging to the defendant, who is a reeve, in order that he might collect the fine. In the meantime the plaintiff's cow escaped over the fence into the field of her owner, and the owner cautioned the reeve not to meddle with her. He did, however, and hence the action. He was fined forty cents and costs on the ground that no persen can pound eattle for the reeve, and when the reeve does s> he must impound them from the road.
