aaisnpaneciill ge beabeniresinat HE ABOVE HAS BEEN A SETTLED FACT FOR YEARS, and to keep before the public what is so well known to every good dresser in this Province, may seem superfluous, But as a good dinner tends to give a quietus to the disturbing influences within the inner man, so a thorough knowledge of vur capabilities will give a quietus to anyone who may have had the good fortune of being dressed by us. The sun rises and sets, and it appears to the ordinary judgment that the sun revolves around the earth instead of the earth revolving around the sun ; so we, through the immense strides we have taken in our art, would appear to the uneducated to be moving araund our many friends, instead of they moving around us; like the sun imparts its warm rays to revive drooping nature, so we are the benefactors of our people, by aiming high and attaining to a STYLE and FINISH in our Garments, which cannot but commend us as the MERCHANT TAILORING PHILANTHROPISTS of our day.

Are you anxious to test the foregoing? Come in, then, and see our line of Goods, which are superior, in every sense of the word, and we will fit you out with a Suit which will doubtless draw the loving remark from your best girl that she has ‘‘ the best dressed young man in town.” Call early, if you must have it before Ist July.

C., died at his son’s resi- dence, Cardigan, Lot 53, after having suffered or some time from a lingering disease. The deceased gentleman was one of the oldest residents of Cardigan, and in former years owned extensive mills and farm property at Burnside, Lot 52. His age was 77.

Wuat Tuey Are Dornc.—We under- that a number of fishing vessels arrived in Georgetown, on Saturday, looking for her- ring for bait. The shore fishermen, how- ever, report herring very scarce now, and it is doubtful if these vessels caught what they require. We hear that a fine halibut was purchased trom one of the fishing ves- sels by Wm. Wightman, Esq., of George- town.

A WeLt-Brep Fitty.—On Friday, the 10th inst., a fine foal was dropped by Fleetwing, a handsome W. H. M. mare, owned by Geo. F. Owen, Esq., Cardigan Bridge. This young filly is sired by All Right, 5817, and is jet black, without a white hair. W.H. M., the sire of its dam, was by Morgan Abdallah, out of Toots, the dam of All Right; so this young- ster has two strains of trotting blood, one from the sire and one from the dam.

A Great Paper —The New York Herald was fifty-four years old on Monday. Since its foundation the Herald has been issued nearly twenty thousand times, and its cor- respondents have ranged the face of the earth, often tar in advance of tardy civiliz- ation. They have sailed the Polar seas, trod- den the battle, fields of all nations, penetrated into remote and hitherto untravelled countries; talked wita kings, emperors, statesmen, leaders of armies, sages and poets. They have chronicled the doings of mankind from the parliaments of nations down to the councils of rude tribes. Science, art, re- ligion, literature, commerce, politics and society—all have been mirrored in its pages. The Herald is certainly a great paper.

ACCIDENT ON THE Ratiway.—On Saturday, 11th inst., while the train to Georgetown was passing Owen's farm, near Cardigan Bridge, the engine struck two cows that were on the track, killing one of them and seriously wounding the other. The animals were own- ed by John MeKenzie, of Fair Play. They got on the track through an open place in the railway fence, where the snow last winter had broken the wires. The wounded cow had one of its hoofs taken off and is also injured in the back. It will have to be killed. Both animals were in good condition, and their loss will be a serious matter for the owner, unless he is compensated by the Do- minion Government. We understand that no blame should be attached to the train hands, as the place where the animals were / caught was on a down grade, and doubtless it was impossible to stop the train in time to prevent the accident,

‘Just help me move this wardrobe here, And hang this picture, won't you dear? And tack that carpet by the door,

And stretch this one a little more.

And drive this nail, and screw this screw; And here’s a job I have for you—

‘The cupboard will never catch

I think you'll have to fix the latch;

And O, while you're about it, John,

I wish you'd put the cornice on.

And hang this curtain: when you're done I'l) hang you up the other one;

This box has got to have a hinge,

Before I can put on the fringe;

And won’t you mend that broket chair? I'll like a hook put right up there;

The wardrobe door must have a knob; And here's another little job,—

I really hate to ask you dear;

But could you fix a bracket here?

And on it goes, when these are through,

And this and that and those to do,

Ad intinitum, and more tuo, All in a merry jingle,

And isn’t that enough to make A man wish he was single? ee O66 ee Crofter Immigration,

Speaking of his recent visit to the North- west and the Pacitic coast Sir Charles Tup- per said: ** The Crofter Iinmigration ques- tion will undoubtedly be solved this year. The very favorable season this spring in the North-west has permitted settlers to have an early crop, and from what I was able to see, | have no doubt that the result must necessarily attract capital and labor from Europe to that part of our country. The wealth of that section is equal to my most sanguine expectations. I visited the North-west thoroughly, from Winnipeg to the Rockies, and | went from end to end of the Manitoba and Northwestern rail- way. It is an excellent road running through a fine country. I drove: a great deal, and visited the sput where the croft- ers are to be located. I do not anticipate that this class of peuple will go in entirely for wheat growing, but rather for mixed farming. They have splendid opportunities for this. There is plenty of grazing and some fishing, and this just suits them. They will be self-supporting, I have no doubt, from the outset. I met the party of crofters on their way. They are healthy, comparatively young, intelligent and full of hope. They numbered 282. I also went from end to end on the Manitoba and Southwestern, and there saw the first croft- ers, about eighteen families in all, who settled there last year. They were just putting in their crop, and were delizhted with their new home. I also saw the Men- nonite settlement and was amazed at the progress made there.”’

Effects of Alcohol.

(Almost. )

The Independent says that the evil wrought by intoxicants on the physical health can hardly be exaggerated. Alcohol is not a food, properly speaking, but a narcotic poisou. Eminent men disagree as to whether it possesses any nutritive quali- ties. The results of long and careful in- vestigation, however, show that if it con- tains any nutriment at all it is almost inappreciable in quantity. Its value as a medical agent in disease is quite generally recognized; but used as a beverage in a state of health it rarely fails to work injury. It tends to impair digestion, impoverish the blood, injure the blood-vessels, affect the nerves and deteriorate the tissue. It finds its way to every part of the body, especially to the brain, where it does its most terrible work. In short, used to ex- cess or habitually it demoralized the whole body, impairs its functions, diminishes its muscular force, reduces its power to resist disease and superinduces disease. The re- sult is that strong, able-bodied citizens, the glory of the State, become physical wrecks and lose the power as well as the purpose to contribute to the general prosperity, or even to support by their own labor their families or themselves.

The old idea that alcohol preserves the system from the effects ot extreme heat or extreme cold has long been exploded. It is the written testimony of General Greely, the most distinguisbed Arctic traveler we have among us, that in high latitudes the effect of alcohol is shown in ‘* diminished power for work” and in ‘* impaired resist- ance to cold.” Henry M. Stanley, the great African explorer, has shown in case after case, among his own followers, that alcohol is a deadly thing in the tropics. Dr, Edson, of the Heaith Department of New York, says that when to excess in hot weather—and ‘‘ people who use it invariab- ly use it to excess”—‘*nothing could be used that would produce sun-stroke or heat exhaustion quicker.” Dr. Willard Parker, also an eminent medical authority, gives it as his opinion that those who drink freely in hot weather ‘‘ tempt Province.”

STATE OF THE PROVINCE,

Speech of Mr, P. Blake M. P,P.

Delivered in the House of Assembly on the Mot’: to go into Com- mittee of Supply.

[ConcLUDED. }

Now, taking a calm and dispasionate view of the future of this Province, I con- tend that the Government have still a bal- ance in their favor on capital account of no less than $463,399.23. This, I think, is not a bad financial showing, and I think every candid and impartial person must admit such to be the case. We stand to- day in a good position, financially, und need not be afraid for the future. All the in- crease in our subsidy from Ottawa was ob- tained since the present Government came into power. Although a portion of i+ was on account of increase of population and re-adjustment on debt account, for which they are not entitled to any particular credit, it was obtained since they came in- to office, and is an actual increase of the subsidy received by this Province from the Dominion Government. The financial statement which I have made is not, I

think, a bad showing for any Government.

All they now have to do in order to main-

tain that position, is to change their policy

in the manner in which I have already pointed out. It is, of course, a very deli-

cate matter for any member of this House to stand up here and advocate direct taxa- tion; but | conceive it to be my duty te do so. Isay that the time has arrived for direct taxation, and that there is no other alternative. Before fnaking this statement, I waited to hear whether the hon. Leader of the Government expected to receive, during the present year, any further sums from Ottawa, or whether he intended to re- sort to direct taxation as a means of supple- menting our revenue. His honor has made no statement with respect to either one or the other of these subjects. Under these circumstances, I contend that the time has come for the Government to face the diffi- culty that lies before them, and impose a moderate tax or adopt some other means of augmenting the revenue, As the country prospers, its necessities will increase and the public expenditure will necessarily be much larger. It, therefore, becomes the duty of the Government to provide for the requirements of the people by some legiti- mate means. If this is not done, they will find, at the close of their present term, that they will have to go to the people with a deficit of from $75,000 to $30,000. I would not like to see the Government placed in that position. I tell them asa friend that in order to have the public busi- ness carried on in an eflicient manner, the revenue must be increased, and the sooner they recognize that fact, the better for themselves. I have conversed with a large uumber of people of all shades of opinion, respecting this matter, and find that, while giving the Government every credit for re- lieving them of direct taxation for so many years, they are of opinion that the time is at hand when they shall be called upon to contribute something towards the revenue of the country. The people are willing to give the Government credit, also, for the

efforts which they have made to secure from the General Government the payment of our just claims.

Even if a portion ef the revenue were raised by direct taxation, that would not prevent the government from prosecuting the set- tlement of our just rights at Ottawa, There are not many ways at present by which the government could reduce the public expenditure to any great extent. They succeeded in reducing the large ex- penditures which were in vogue during the term of the Davies Government, but there were two items of expenditure over which they had, comparatively speaking, no con- trol. I allude to Education and the Hos- pita! for the Insane. I made a statement last session, showing that the expenditure for education alone under the present gov- ernment was, on an average, $29,012.47 in excess of the expenditure for that purpose under the Davies Government. During the ten years under the present govern- ment, that extra expenditure amounted to over $290,000. The increased cost of the maintenance ot the Hospital for the Insane, during the same period, was over $60,000, or an increase ot over $6,000 a year. Ad- ding the increased cost of education and that for the Hospital for the Insane toge- ther, we have a tota) of $350,000, showing clearly how our indebtedness up to the end of the past year was incurred. Weare now called upon to provide increased accommo- dation for patients at the Hospital for the Insane, but I think all the members of this House will agree with me that this is a step in the right direction. It is extremely necessary that proper provision should he made for the accommodation and comfort of this aftiicted portion of our community, while we ali regret that their numbers are yearly increasing. It was necessary to maintain our educationol system in an effi- cient state, and the government, in making so large an expenditure, felt fully justified in so doing, asthe people received full value for it. While, however, our aystem of education is excellent, and one which I would like to see maintained in the highest degree of efliciency, there isa limit to all things. The sum at present expended on that branch of the public service is alto- gether too large, and much beyond our means, considering our limited revenue. It is a difficult and delicate question to handle, and requires the serious attentiou and consideration of every hon. member of this House. It should be our aim, while not impairing in any way its efficiency, to bring about a reduction in its cost. It is, in my opinion, a question which must be

{Continued on fourth page.)
