THE DAILY EXAMINER. =.

Tue attempt of the Patriot to introduce party politics into civic affairs and to show that politics are resporsibls for the recent deadlock at the Council Board, will, we feel sure, fall flat. The attempt is decid- edly childish, in view of the facts. As is very well known, there are just now two parties at the Council Board— the ‘* two fours” as they are commonly called. Oue of “the fours” is composed of C uunciliors Crabbe, Hogan, McKay and Beer, and the

other is made up of Councillors Tuy!or, Robertson, Hooper and Hughes. Tue EXAMINER is not in the secrets of eit lier of **the fours,” and is not, therefore, in 4

position to state just what motives uader- lie their conduct. But judging by surface indications we should say that there is no foundation whatever for the Patriot’s charges of political bias on the part of the Crabbe party and Mayor Haviland. It is well-known that Councillors Crabbe, Hogan and McKay are supporters of the Liberal- Conservative party. It lis equally well- that Ovouncillor Boser—who is chairman of the elect- Street Committee—is a Liberal in politics. Here we have three Liberal- Censervatives and a Libera’. The Liberal —Councillor Beer—practically holds the bal. ance of power,as without his aid and support

known the ed

newly

any action taken by Councillor Crahbe, Councillor Hogan or Councillor McKay, would fall to the ground. Is it reasonable, therefore, to suppose that « good Liberal like Councillor Beer would be a party to any act on the part of Councillor Crabbe and his Liberal-Conservative colleagues at the Board that would be ealculated operate against the other good Liberal members or against the Liberal party / Certainly it is not. Councillor Beer is the last man at the Board those who know him would accuse of doing sucha thing. If there was any conspiracy on the part of Councillor Crabbe and his colleagues and the Mayor that vould be calculsted to work injurioualy to the Liberal party, we beiieve such action would be promptly resented by Oouncillor Beer. Then too, the Patriot howls because Mayor Hav- iland has seen fit to give his casting vote in favor of the Crabbe-Beer party, on several occasions, and refers to him as a political But has not Mayor Haviland a perfect right to vote as he pleases when it becomes necessary that he should vote. He has a perfect right to support either one of ‘‘ the fours,”"—and he that right when the occasioa arises. Every individual member of the Board has a similar privilege, and should exercise it fairly, squarely and manfully and in the best interest ofgthe city. Party politics should have no part in civic af- fairs. The best men should be elected,

regardless of their political leanings. Neither should there be any ‘‘ parties” at the Board—all should work in unison for the general good

The Poisoning Case.

We understand that in the course of his sermon in the First Methodist Church last evening, Rev. W. W. Brewer entered a strong protest against the conduct of the newspapers in publishing the evidence

given at the recent examination of Larter before the Stipendiary Magistrate: He is said to have stated, amongst other things, that the ‘‘ three city dailies must have lost their heads” during the preliminary hear- ing, and that through the medium ot the press Charlottetown had become a “ school of iniquity.” The rev. gentleman doubtless meant well when he gave utterance to the protest referred to. But clergymen, like ordinary mortals, sometimes make is- takes. They sometimes stir up things that would be much better left untouched ; they sometimes, unwittingly, of course, say things which would be better left unsaid.

It is the mission of thec!ergyman to advise his flock concerning their spiritual welfare ; te teach them to live in such a way while on earth that when they are removed from this life they shall be happy for all eter- nity. All this he has perfect right to do. It isthe mission of the press to furnish the news of the day ; to see that what is going on is properly placed before its read- ers.

The press, particularly the press of Char- lottetown, has been prominent in promot- ing every good work calculated to advance the cause of temperance and morality and in helping the clergy of the city intheir various undertakings. Now, forsoeth, because the press has seen fit. in the dis- charge of its duty, to lay the main facts of the recent unfortunate poisoning case be- fore its readers, it is to be condemned, and the ery raised that by means of it the city has become a ‘‘school of iniquity.” This it will be generally admitted, is hardly fair.

The mission of the press, as has already been pointed out, is to give the news. Oft times the task is not a pleasant one. As the Guardian points out, in the fulfil ment of its duty ‘the newspaper penetrates the haunts of sin as well as it does the home of purity; and those who imagine it should contain only smooth sayings and pleasant reading, mistake its mission.”

In this connection, we have only to say oa behalf of Tue Examiner, that much of the evidence given at the trial was ex-

' punged from its columns ; that if some of

the other papers went further into details than Tue Examines, it is not right that THe EXAMINER shouldshare in the sweeping con- demnation. Tue Examiner, in this mat- ter, as in every other criminal trial where evidence of a character which does not make very pleasant reading is adduced, exercised considerable eare in the publica- tion of the evidence ; and for so doing we have bsen complimented by many persons, includ og several of Mr, Brewer's congr« yatien

W. h.ve ony to say, in conclusion, tha: Tue Examixen takes strong objection | the chirue that, by means of the pre's, Jhariot etown has become a f But is Charlottetown a *‘sch:

** school

in quy.

»f in at We doubt it. It is qui

true that bere, as elsewhere, we have ba nen aud bai women; but it uu harily fair, eon this account, tha the whole population should :uffsr—

that our fair city should b» characterized as a ‘‘achoel of iniqnity,” because there hap- pens to be a few amongst us who are nct perfection.

—It is the habit of THe Examiner to bob up serenely when anything unusual is going on. Therefore it will not surprise our readers to find that it was represented on such a notable occasion as the opening of the World’s Columbian Exposition at Chic- ago. The first letter of THe ExaMINner’s special correspondent is published to-day. [t deals with the Exposition in general, and it will be followed by a series of articles of its most prominent features.

Another Complaint.

Sin,—Every spring complaints have been made about the practice of dumping manure and filth from the city on the Upper St, Peter's Road near the cemeteries, and noth- ing has been done to stop it. The smell at present issuing from the heaps of manure and garbage deposited on the roads and the fields adjoining che roads is extremely obnoxious. If the Road Supervisor for the Koyalty, who passes this place every day, does not take immediate action to abate the nuisance, the City Marshal should be instructed to proceed in the matter, as the continuance of the nui- sance menaces the health of the city.

The World in Miniature,

( %pecial correspondence of The Exam-ner.)

CuicaGco, May Ist, 1893.—In connectiir th the Chicago Exhibition, the qu: stion which many of THe Ex MINER se ex. 3 are, st this juncture most d-ep!y inter i is ‘*How to getthere.” There :s! rg

N.w “wo ld it may, with at least equal rath be said that “all roads lead to Jhie:g>.” The Prince Edward Islander

nay take the way of the St. Lawrence and the Great Lakes; or he may take the way of the Latercolunial and Grand Trunk Railways; or he may, after the example of your correspondent, take the Canadian Pac fic Railway, or he may take parts of all. In any case, he will probably set out on our own railway and our own steamer Northumberland, both of which are, all things considered, as creditable to Prince Edward Island as anything of the kind that can be found upon the Mainland are to Canada or the States. Of the North- umberland, her equipment and her cfticers we may all feel proud.

The way of the C. P. R is direct, rapid, comfortable and cheap—the return ticket, obtained from Mr. Sharpe, costing only $33.55 For a few dollars additional you can enjoy the travelling luxuries of the magnificently appointed sleep2r cars, and have rest, pleasure and travel combined. On the trip out you can stay three hours in St. John, five hours in Montreal and nearly eight sours in Toronto, «nd you can make the journey from Charlottetown to Chicago —about sixteen hundred miles —in three days and anight. ButI would not advise anyone to set out to see che Fair for nearly a month tocome. There is certainly more to be seen here now than can be properly seen in @ month. There is to be seen here a representation of the world in miniature. But the representation is still evidently incomplete. Persons who want to see all that they can see will do better if they come later. Persons who come to see some particular thing may be disappointed.

It is not necessary to state how many ‘“‘millious” were present at the opening of the exposition to-day, how the President looked, how the pevunvle cheered, how the bands played and how the people stared. All those interesting particulars will have reached you by telegraph. Speaking generally, it is conceded, that the opening was up to the expectations of Chicago—and that is saying a great deal.

Nor 1s it possible to give your readers, in one brief letter, anything like a correct idea of the exposition as a whole. Fancy an area of aix hundred and thirty-three acres, with an exhibit frontage of two hundred mi'es; fancy seventy-four or five immense buildings, compared with which our Provincial Exhibition building is as the pigmy to the giant—and you may be able to form some idea of the exhibit of this immense show. The largest of the build- ings is that devoted to the manufacturers and the liberal arts. It measures 1687 feet by 787 feet and covers nearly thirty- one acres of ground! There are many other buildings not much smaller and ali, without excepticn, are well up to the American ideal of “immensity.” With one or two exceptions, these buildings are architecturally grand. The Arts’ building particularly is as well proportioned and graceful in its huge outline as many of the masterpieces of the architects skill. The gigantic sculptured figures with which many of the buildings are adorned, are, for the most part, full of artistic life and power. Indeed, the sculpture is a notably strong feature of rhe exhibition—too strong in many instances for those who object to the nude in art with fidelity to nature in every detail.

A psssing glance through the building is sufficient to show that our own country has taken a creditable place among the nations. ies ug icoltural exhibit is particularly fine, and it is weli displayed. Professor Saunders is to be congratulated upon his choice of positions in the various buildings, and the ability of the men employed to superintend the work of setting up the exhibits, One of the most attractive features of the agricultural building is the Canadian Ex- hibit. The various grains, etc., are artistic. ally set forth, and®the excellence of the soil and climate in §which they were produced cannot fail to be mentally noted by every interested visitor. The ‘big cheese” is a subject of anxious enquiry and speculation.

In the horticultural department, too, Canada ‘‘ comes out well.” The excellence of her fruit appears—even in competition with those of the States, which are most advanced in this respect. Canada’s art exhibit reflects creditably upon her—even when placed in comparison with those of older countries. Great Britain, too, is par- ticularly strong in respect to art, though in other departments she has only put forth sufficient effort to prove her superiority. Everything sent here by our Mother Country is ‘first-class and no mistake,” Even the ‘* Tally Ho” coaches, of which several, with horses and men to manage them, are seen on the streets, are such as to evoke the admiration of every sightseer.

The Exposition has been aptly called ‘*The White City.” A city it is—white and clean at the present moment. I can- not say that it is absolutely ‘* beautiful for situation,” but it is likely to prove in the coming months “‘the joy of the whole earth” Onecannot help wishing that it were lasting. In its unfinished state it is easy to see that it is made up largely of laths and plaster, with only enough of strong material to keep it together for a short time. It must soon disappear “ as the unsubstantial fabric of a vision.” -———_-<- AmmMoniA Soap only costs seven cents. Give it one trial and you will find it the very best soap you ever used.
