SIR LOUIS AND THE STAR.

Tse Examiner is censured by the Pat- riot because the statement of Sir Louie Davies was notgiven together with the of the Star. Tue ExaMINer was more deeply interested prorpect of the poor of Queen’s County receiving $200 (if the Star were in the wrong)

i) the than with the merits of the case. But upon reading the other side as published by the Patriot, we incline to the Opinion that Sir Loaia overhasty in hie attempt to fix upon the Star the stigma of a dishonorable act involving a falsehood. It appears that the Star’s representative at Ottawa received from the Department of Marire aud Fisheries a certain written statement for publication, and that he, supposing that it was sent by the authority of Sir Louis, published it as “ Sir Louis Davies’ view,”—although Sir Louis, as a matter of fact, knew nothiogabout .t. If Bir Louis bad, instead of making his statement in Parliament, reflecting upon the hovor and veracity of the Star, inquired intothe mat- ter and conferred with Tne Star’s repre- sentative, the Star would, we frel sure, have hastened to explain the matter to the satisfaction of the Minister and the public. But he took the other cour®e; aod has af forded the Star an opportunity to challenge the Minister to disprove the erseutia] truth of the statement to which it gave publicity. We shall see what Sir Louis wil! do about it. Two hundred dollars to be distributed among the poor voters of West Prince, shortly before ageners!] election, ought to be an inducement tothe ruffl2d Minie- ter.

PURE FOOD.

Some persons in this locality are perturb- ed, just now, without any unustal cause, abeut the food obtained at our butchers’ stalls. Generally, we think, our butchers are honest men; and generally, we think, the buyers of meat can discriminate, pretty accurately, between that which is diseased and that which is wholesome. Of course there is need for coi*tant watch- fulness on the part of both eellers and buyers,—even though we al know that the firet would nct wilfully poison his neigh- bore or the last knowirgly partake of that which is bad, But if the conditions here were like those reported in some Cities of the United States there would really be

cause for alarm. The Boston Globe, for instance, states _that Public attention in its vicinity has bees

Ifan inspector be appointed to look after those few dealers among us who are careless or dishonest, he must be we] paid eo that he may be independent, he must be scrupionsly honest and he must be thoroughly capable.

—A wave of common-sense seems to be sweeping over France just now. C m- menting on the debate on the Naval Estimates in the French Chamber, the Solel makes the following remarks: “While Great Britain, with her immense wealth, and Gremany with ber teem ing population, content themeelves, the form r with hel ling the first rank at eea, and the latter with holding the first rank on land, we want to ho'd the first rank on land and atsea with much less money than the Evglieh, and much fewer men than the Germans.
