Che Patriot found fault with Tue Ex- AMINER’S Uttawa correspondent because he felt bound to say that Mr. L. H. Davies was not equal to the Minister of Justice in a recent argument. Well, here is what the independent correspondent of an indepen- dent newspaper (tho Montreal Star) says about the effect of Mr. Davies’ oratory :—
‘‘Mr. Davies arose to speak and the mem bers filed slowly out until at one time there were only twenty-five members in the H USE, j Macdonald and Sir Richard The loud applause

and Sir Joan Cartwright fell asleep. — which followed Mr. Das ies the sleepers. The news tlew through the lobbies, * Sir John Thompson 1s up, sad the members hurried in till the House was fuil. Perh ips the mem bers of the House of Commons have not 4 proper appreciation of Mr. Davies ; perhaps the oratory of Mr. Davies is like the poetry of Spencer,——per haps his ‘lines of linked sweetness jong drawn out” cloy upon the appetites of 1s fellow legislators. [t cannot, at all ev ents, be urged that the Star's correspondent 18 influenced by a malicious motive.
A correspondent of the Moncton Times writes : ** The railway position of Port Elgin for a large number of travel-

change would be a decided public benefit, and natarally enough Port Elgin is deeply interested, as her business importance would be proportionately increased.”
Steamboat Communication. BETWEEN CHARLOTTETOWN AND PORT ELGIN.
—MEETING OF MERCHANTS AND RESIDENTS
IN FAVOR OF THE PROJECT—PORT ELGIN
THE BEST POINT OF TRAFFIC FOR STEAM COM-
MUNICATION WITH THE ISLAND.
Looking upon Port Elgin as being advan- tageously situated for summer comaunica- tion with Prince Edward Island, and from ts situation and railway advantages, the cheapest, shortest and quickest route to various points in Canada and the United S*ates, whether for passengers or freight, and knowing that prominent merchants in Charlottetown desired them to co-operate in the matter, the merchants and residents
f Port Elgin held a public meeting on last Friday evening to discuss the question.
Mr. W. M. Spence was called to the chair, and Mr. W.Woodbury Wells filled the oftice of secretary. The chairman read a communi- cation from Charlottetowr, asking the,mer- chants and others of Port Elgin to agitate in favor ofa movement to establish direct steam communication—for which a subsidy would be required— between Charlotte- town, P. E. I., and ports in New Bruns- wick and Nova Scotia, namely, Port Elgin, River John, Tatamaguuche, Pagwash and Wallace. Several gentlemen at the meet- ing freely expressed themselves favorably, and alter being discussed, the following motion, made by Mr. Wm. Read, and seconded by Mr. Charles A. Read, was carried unanimously, and signed by the Secre ary :
Resolved, That a committee of three be ap pointed by the chairman of the meeting to memoralize the Dominion Government through Mr. Wood, the County representative, asking that a subsidy be granted by the said govern- ment for the purpose of helping to keep up a steamer for direct steam communication, wer kly, between Port Elgin, in Baie Verte, Pugwash, River John, Wallace, Tatama- gouche and Charlottetown, > : and that the said memorial be forwarded to Mr. Wood, without caliing any further meeting to accept said resolution.
Messrs. Alexander Munroe, Uhas. Reid, aud'Hazen Copp were!appointed to compose the important committee referred to in the above resolution. The resolution embodies the sentiments of leading men, not only in Port Elvin, but alse in Baie Verte, and in the surrounding country, and it is to be hoped the efforts now being made will be crowned with success. Mr. Wood is ex- pected to make every effert in his power to bring the movement to a successful issue, and no doubt by * a long pull and a strong pull and a pall all together,” the Dominion government may be induced to place in the estimates a sum sufficient to meet the requirements of this very important pro- ject. It can be done, and the general feel- ing is that it should be done; as the pres- sent government has shown itself ever fa- vorable to the advancement of the com- mercial interests of the Dominion.—Times. re

‘DOMINION PARLIAMENT.
PXPRRIMENTAL FARUL.
A Few Particulars About It.
Island Next Summer.
ee)
Orrawa, March 4. Che other day | paid a visit to the Ex- perimental Farm, situated 24 mules from the tity. The farm includes some 465 acres on a fine high bluff overlooking Ot- tawa. From the point where the buildings are located, a magnificent view can be had of the city and surrounding country. The buildings are handsome, and substantially built, and include residence for the Super- intendent—Prof. Saunders, Prof. Fletcher and Mr. Irwin, besides the farm buildings. The barns are very large and complete. In the horse stable 10 Clydesdale horses of superior quality, and 2 mares are stabled. Mr. Frisett, the outside manager, told me that they were principally bought in On- tariv. Some ofthem weigh as much as 1600 lbs. They are employed during win- ter in hauling manure from Ottawa 1n in- mense sleds. 1 was surprised to learn that those big twolhorse loads were bought in Oitawa at from 30 to 40 cents per load. With such a cheap source of manure, the farm can rapidly be made one of the richest in Canada, I was fortunate enough to meet Prof. Saunders, who very kindly took me through the principal building. On the second floor of the main barn the grain grown on the farm last yeer is stored. Some 3,000 bushels of grain were raised last season, including wheat, oats, barley, peas and many other cereals. I was inter- ested in seeing the Ladoga wheat, some 500 bushels of which were grown last year. this wheat is considered a valuable variety, as it is hard, and ripens from ten to twelve days earlier than Red Fife. The sample grown on the Experimental Farm last year is not very plump. Prof. Saunders ex- plained that the season was too hot and dry for the besi results, but he Says the grain
has been tested and contains 95 per ceat.
of germinating power. The manager has procured a great many samples of wheat irom India, some of which 1] saw. 1 noticed particular-
ly s sample grown inthe Spitta valley, 11,000 feet above sea level. Other samples were procured at elevations ranging from 7,000 feet up. A sample of barley was shown that is said to ripen in 50 days. These grains were procured instrumentality ef Lord Dufferin, and are intended tor testing on the farm next year. Three pound packages of the cereals grown on the farm will be sent to persons apply- ing for it, as it is desired to spread these new grains all overthe Dominion. The Ladoga wheat is said to be somewhat sub- ject tosmut, but Prof. Saunders thinks that if it is placed in strong pickle before sowing that the smut spores will be killed. The farm has no cattle yet, but the build- ings for them are allready. There is a very complete poultry house, well stocked with the different breeds, and the collie dogs kept are very superior. A large brick building is now being erected for the museum and offices of the farm. Prof. Saunders was telling me that he intends visiting P. E. Island next summer, about the time the Western Agricuitural Conven- tion has its semi-annual meeting. Alto- gether, a visit to the Experimental Farm is most enjoyable and instructive. I have no doubt that from the Experimental Farms the agriculturists of Canada will obtain a great many profitable lessons and much useful information. A very complete lot of samples of grain are shown in small glass bottles, and the different grades can here be studied with profit, G, F. VU.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
—_—>_——
Srr,—** Lex,” writing ingTue EXaMIneR of a day or two ago, threw out some sug- gestions a3 worthy of the consideration of the law-makers of the land at the coming session. Following in his footsteps, | would like to urge upon the legislators the neces- sity of protecting us against every quack or broken-down medical practitioner that comes the way. And at the outset, Mr. Editor, let me say that I have no axe to grind; that | am not a doctor myself, and that | have no ** crow to pick” with any of these importations who have come to us unrecommended, and who, in my humble opinicn, are stocking our graveyards at an alarming rate. "Iwas Oliver Wendell Holmes, himself a doctor, if 1 mistake not, who said that ‘*if all the drugs were cast into the sea it would be so much better for man and so much worse for the fish.” There can be no doubting the fact that many are being hurried off the scene by the improper use of drugs by practitioners altogether incapable of determining what a patient should take in the shape of remedies. God knows we are running risk enough in being obliged to accept the services of our own young doctors whom we know to have made the usual course and are duly author- ized to practice their profession by the uni- versities; but what is to be said of those who come to us without any proper creden- tials, fellows who care nothing about human life, and whose colossal impudence causes them to rush in ‘ where angels fear to tread.” This class of quack is, alas, be- coming more numerous yearly—they re- ceive no quarter elsewhere, and consequent- ly the Island is made a quack’s heaven, where old women vyaunt their virtues and men who should be the first in safe-guard- ing society against such frauds stand to their back and declare them as good as the best.
But, however much the individual may be excused for harboring these professional poisoners, the government of the country (whose duty it is to enact laws against fraud of any kind) should protect us ayainst
them. A billto do this was brought in a | few sessions ago by a supporter of the Gov- ; ernment, but it was not a Government bill , and it was beaten even in the Lower House. *Twas in that memorable debate that Mr.
Gordon, of Georgetown, boldly asserted that medicine ‘* had not made any progress
unprogressive state he and some others of

his colleagues would like to keep it, since he voted confidence in the ignorant impor- tations that degrade the whole medical profession and make prudent people sus- picious of it. In Ontario, the law prohibits such adventurers frum practicing on the lives of the people. Are the lives of Islanders less preciuus? Let the Govern- ment protect us from these sharks, then,
or stand convicted of remissness of duty.

Apvick to MorTusrs.— Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup should always be used when children are cutting teeth. It relieves the little sufferer at once; it produces natural quiet sleep by relieving the child from pain; and the little cherub awakes as “‘bright asa button.” It is very pleasant to taste. It soothes the child, softens the gums, allays all pain, relieves wind, regulates the bowels, and is the best known remedy for diarrhea, whether arising from teething or other causes. Twenty-five cents a bottle. Be sure and ask for Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syren, and take no other kind. TApril ) ‘8
