If this contention is in the opinion of the Patriot, absurd, we con- tend that the Patriot is in duty bound te explain the true meaning of the law in this regard, or else to be accounted, by the pub- lic, in the wrong.
But the Patriot thinks «hat Judge Alley was in duty bound to disfranchise Hubert

point of view; but we contend that it is not just or in accord with the spirit or letter f the law Suppose Judge Alley had met the objection raised by Mr. L. H. Davies in this way : ‘It is true there isno such man ss Herbert Perry in the town ; but I find on reference to the poll book, to which my at. tention has been called, that the name is written Hubert Perry, and therefore an error has evidently been committed by either my clerk, or my printer or myself; | cannot, in common justice, strike any man's name off the list on account of my own error: | have no reason to doubt that there is a man named Hubert Perry in the town,—in fact I am well satisfied that there is, and instead of striking the name off, as Mr. Davies desires, I will see that it is cor-

would have been nothing unreasonable or

unjust in this,and—we contend—nothing in- consistent with the provisions and directions # the Franchise Act. Judge Alley might have accompanied this reasonable and just decision with an expression of his thanks to Mr. Davies for calling attention to the error, and he would have acted courteously as well. tut, true to his instincts, he struck the man's name off simply because a blunder had been committed for which he is respon- sible, and to which Mr. L. H. Davies had, by his agents, raised an objection.
And what shall we say of the conduct of Mr. Davies! He who posed as the leader of all the Liberals / be a defender of the rights of the people,
~he who professes to
taking advantage of the fact that a voter's name has been misspelled, and having the name struck off/ Can anyone imagine a Liberal statesman with act or part in such a small, mean, petty, disgraceful, con- temptible, unjust piece of business’ But Mr. Davies’ fine professions have always been spoiled by little acts of tyranny and injustice. Not long since he engaged coun- sel to maintain a ruling of Judge Alley’s in the case of J. S. O'Neill, under which a large body of electors were disfranchised ; and we can imagine the zest with which he entered upon Hubert Perry’s case, for if he could once get the Judge to rule a man off on account of the Judge’s own biunder, a precedent would be established which could be used to any eatent that might be neces- sary. Mr. Davies had good grounds for his confidence in Judge Alley, for one who re- fused t. count the ballots of about seven hundred voters because the Returning Offi- cer happened to initial them on the counter- foils and not on the face of the ballots, was net likely to seruple about disfranchising a man because a letter or two happened to be wrongly placed in his name as it appeared in the printed list.
The Patriot claims to have ‘* thoroughly exploded " all the ** paltry points” of THe Examines. To our Liberal Patriot the disfranchisement of voters may seem a ‘**paltry’ matter; but we think otherwise. Let the public judge between us.
~—em «©
Misleading its Readers.
Tur Patriot has the temerity to call especial attention to its quotation from the Election law in Canada im support of the contention that County Court Judges are forbidden to vote at Local Elections. The quotation is dishonest and misleading. It is from ‘*An Act respecting the election of members of the House of Commons ;” and the second section of the Act expressly sets forth that
on : ; , ‘*The expression ‘election’ means an election of a member to serv in the House of Commons.’
Therefore the requirements of the Act that Judges of every court shall be incompetent to vote “at any election,” applies simply and
| }
In our | words were
only to elections of members of the House of Commons.
As passed by Parliament the section re- ferred to read,
“The Judges of every court now existing, or hereafter created, whose appointments rest with the Governor-General, shall be disquali- | fied and incomptent to vote at the election ofa imember for the House of Commons o Canada,
But the revisers of the statutes seem to
have thought that, in view of the title of the Act and the express direction of the interpretation clause, the concluding unnecessary, and = 80 struck them out. The Patriot in its desper- ation, quoted the section as it stood, but was careful to make no reference to the Act from which it was taken, or the mean- ing of the word * election,” as used in the Act,-—in order that the public might draw the false inference that a County Judge cannot legally vote at a Provincial election.

Canon Farrar on the Drink Evil.
Archdeacon Farrar presided a few days ago at the concluding sitting of the British and Colonial Temperance Congress in Prince’s Hall, Piccadi!!y. He said that the general effect of his observations in Canada led him to the conclusion that the disease of drink wes less acute and severe in that country and America than it was here, and also that the remedies were more wholesome and more stringent. Although public opinion in those countries was decidedly ahead of the public opinion of England, and although the public conscience of Canada and America was more awake to the deadly evils of drink than in this country. still the accounts which were given of those coun- tries were not altogether encouraging. There was a_ two-fold impeachment to be brought against drink. It was ruinous not only to the interests of our own sons all over the world, but to the interests of the various races existing ‘-hroughout the world. In India hundreds of thousands of English lives had been practieally sacrificed solely to drink. In Australia very many of the lives of our young colonists wers sacrificed to the dreadful eagerness with which they and others plunged inte drinking excesses. The same story was told of our colonists in North America and Cape Colony. Then as to the effects of drink on inferior races. He had the testimony of an archdeacen to the fact that for every Christian whom he had made in India we had made a hundred drunkards. In India every Hindoo patriot was complaining of the demoralization which we were causing to the 200,000,000 of our fellow-subjects there. Drunkenness was spreading among the native populations of India with a rapidity which was epidemic. This was a tremendous re- sponsibility for a Christian nation like ours to incur. The cry from Burmah again was that everywhere the population was being destroyed by the rum we _ introduced into the country. The Maoris of New Zealand were originally a fine race, but now they are plunged im degradation and diminishing in numbers because of the drink traftic and the vice which had _ fol- lowed in the wake of oar civilization. In Japan and Madagascar the population were suffering from the rum imported into the country ; and at Nazareth at this moment when a drunken man was seen the Mahom- edans pointed the finger of scorn at him and said, **That man is a Christian.” We had girdled the world with a zone of drunk- enness. (Cheers.) The footsteps of Aryan man, wherever he had traversed the world in his career of commerce and of conquest, had been dyed with blood. We had deci- mated the races of the world by drink and vice. We had brought with us from country to country the blight and the curse, very often without the blessing «f{ our civilization and Chris- tianity. It was high time that we should now make it clear to these races that the object and the mission of Christian peoples was not to destroy their bodies, but to save their souls. (Cheers.) It was high time that beautiful upon the mountains should be the feet of those who brought good tidings and who published peace. (Cheers.) When the conscience of the English-speaking race was once thoroughly touched and roused, as two generations ago, when they rose and for the first time realized what a guilt it was that we should use the arm of freedom to rivet the fetters of the slave, so they would in time realize that it was a still deadlier and more ruinous form of guilt to use the name and the power of a Christian people to de- stroy the bodies and souls of men. (Cheers. )

Girls, Stay at Home,
A correspondent of the Cape Sable Advertizer, writing trom Boston, says, in referring to the servant girl question in that city:-
The servant girl market is glutted here at the present time, and those in the provinces having good homes, who may be intending to leave them under the delusion that they can get ‘big wages’ here, had far better remain where they are. Theve are many more girls working here for $2.50 than there are for $4, and as many more of the latter than there is receiving $5 or $6. You can go into an em- ployment agency, of which there are dozens scattered throughout the city, and observe girls of all sorts and kinds seated around waiting for a ‘chance.’ Many of them have thus waited for weeks, and are willing to accept almost any kind of employ- ment and at any rate of wages. Girls work in hotels and restaurants and boarding houses from 5 or 6a. m.,Suntil 9 or 10 p. m. for from $2.50 to $3.50 a week, and there is no ‘let up’ during these long, weary hours, but always something to do. . it any wonder why fresh-cheeked girls, coming from pleasant country homes to do this sort of drudgery, speedily wilt, rapidly lose their f esh complex- ions and elasticity ot step,, and in a few years become broken-down in health and _ spirits. One great cause of so many girls flocking here is because of the fabulous stories to.d by those already here of ‘big wages’ received, which in nine cases out of ten are purely imaginary. All such tales should be taken ‘with a grain of salt,’ and due allowance made for the fact that the narrator does not want to ‘own up’ that she has made a mistake.

“When the Glorious War is O'er.”
_ ehhh When the glorious war is over, And we've sheathed our conquering sword, With the King’s victorious soldiers We shall stand before the Lord !
( ‘horus, He will call the roll up yonder. Muster day in Heaven proclaim, When He calls the roll in Heaven I will answer to my name.
In His palace, in His kingdom We shall all His glory share, The despised Salvation Army Then shall shine in splendor there.
Soldiers of this mighty Army, Warriors of the Blood and Fire ; All their glorious or bringing, Then shall sing and never tire !
Then their mighty Hallelujahs ! Like the thunder’s loudest roar,
Shall, like ocean's raging billows, Break on the Eternal Shore.
There this grand Salvation Army, Surging round the conqueror’s throne,
All their crowns shall cast before Him, His the glory—His alone.
Boston Markets. Boston, July 28.
Porators—The supply of potatoes was a little short on Monday and prices advanced to $2.50 to $2.75 per bbl.
Fisu—-There is not much change to note in the market for any kind of fish. Mackerel continue to arrive from the North Bay, and prices are unsettled. Sales in cargo lots at 34.50 to $5 per bbl, fishermen’s order. The Shore catch shows no increase, and vessels arriving bring only a few bbls. each. Dealers report a little more demand for smal! lots, but trade is still comparatively light. Old mack- erel of 1885 catch are cleaning up at $4.50 to $5.50 per bbl. Codfish are quiet and steady at $2.25 to $2.50 for pickle cured Bank, and $2.75 to $3 for dry Bank.
Ecas—There is very little change to note in eggs. Eastern extras continue scarce and command 18e per dozen. Northern and Pro- vincial firsts rule at 16 to 164c¢ per dozen. Canada firsts at 154 to 6c.
- ——}o <> - ee —-- Perils of the Deep.
A short time ago one of the bold mariners of Pugwash started from that port in a pleasure boat. He only laid in provisions and water for a short voyage, and lis mate was not much accustomed to small craft. When outside of the harbor the wind came ahead so they decided to run for Crapaud, P. E. Island, where a brother of the mate resided. They reached the Island shore safely, but had some diftieulty in making the harbor on account of fog and smoke on the coast. The next afternoon they started on the return trip, but, the wind failing, they were in the Gulf ail night, and as their supply of water gaveout they were beginning to suffer from thirst and want of sleep. In the night they sighted a schvoner, and hail- ed her, and finally fired a pistol shot across her bows, which brought her to. When the Captain of the boat was nearly alongside the schooner bore away and left them. It is presumed that the Captain of the schooner, which might have been an Ameri- can fishing vessel, thought it was one of the armed cruisers, and was afraid of being de- tained. In the morning the excursionists were a few miles off Pugwashlight, and by displaying signals of distress, the veteran lighthouse keeper, Mr. Beaton, went off and supplied them with water, and in due time they arrived safely in port.—Sentinel.
+ + ATE The Distress in Newfoundland.
Despatches having appeared in several United States and Canadian newspapers stating that the Canadian government had, in response to appeals for assistance, de- spatched a vessel bearing provisions for the distressed fishermen in Newfoundland and Labrador, the Officers of the Marine and Fisheries Department, Ottawa, have been interviewed concerning the matter. They state that no vessel has been sent, and that the Department has no official knowledge of the matter, which is beyond their juris“ diction, the Canadian Government, of course, having nothing to do with Newfoundland. The Mayor of Toronto having written to the Department, inquiring what steps were being taken there, received an answer to the above effect.
