THE D

The “Guardian's” Attack.

Tuk Guardian hasattacked Fath » Strubbe

and Tue Examiner, charging, in short,

that they are agents for the liquor traflic.

Its attentions are, we presume, due to the

fact that Father Strubbe and Ter Exam- iver have done, andare doing, better work for temperance than the Guardian can wr ever will de, long as it continues to be the one-sided organ of a party, some of whom, notoriously, do not always exhibit in their actions the virtues which they would like to see exemplified in the lives of their fellow men. We know some men

be directed to the prevention of the creat

inconsistencies which exist between the vords and acts, between the professions and the pr ictices of those who are vearer to t than either. One of the chief causes of he weakness of the temperance cause in this city and province lies in the hypocrisy of its champions

It is to be noted that the Guardian does

not dispute Taz EXaMINER’s proposition that

there never was in Charlottetown a greater

number wrecks of humanity resulting

from the liquor habit than there is to-day, or a greater number of young men and boys on the high road to destruction. The plain

inference to be drawn from the Guardian’s

omission is that this proposition is, ad- mittedly, true. This, then, is the state of the case, after ll the: yea! which we have had the Scott Act! Yet the Guardian ntents itself with a gross misrepresentation of HE ExaMINeR. The argument of the editor of Tue EXAMINER is, it says, simply this :

‘* The liquor traftiec works injury, death—

ea, and damnation; we have a law to lessen

these evils, but it insufficient; therefore,

enforced or else have another law which will or may be enforced.”

Jjanada and the McKinley Bill. |

ue author of the McKinley Bill recent-

“The condition of the Canadian farmer was not considered nor even thought of in the com. mittee, nor by any individual members of it, so far as I know, when the agricultural schedule of the McKinley bill, so-called, was under consideration. The McKinley bill is entirely a domestic bill. It was arranged to suit the American farmers, and not to satisfy or injure the Canadian farmers. It received the hearty approval of representatives of the American farmer ( mittee of the grange which met in Washing- ton to look after that particular subject. Every item of the schedule was satisfactory to them. You can say, with the greatest pos sible emphasis, that the schedule was designed to meet the case of the American farmer, and for no other purpose whatever. If it should hurt the Canadian farmer, I for one shall be sorry, but my colleagues and myself are here to legislate for the United States, and for the United States alone.”

This proves that there is no truth what

ever in the oft-repeated assertion of the Opposition press that the McKinley bill is a measure of retaliation for the duties im- posed under our National Policy. Protec i they

Notes and Comiments.

— We note that the news telegraphed to the press of Canada concerning the result of the Legislative Council election here is largely incorrect. The correspondent im- plies thst but two Liberal Conservatives were elected as against five Oppositionists, whereas four Liberal Conservatives were elected against three Oppositionists. Perhaps the press correspondent here will make the correction.

—The Island Guardian hopes that Pro- fessor Shuttleworth will be placed in a po- sition to enable him to still further aid the farmers with the benefit of his studies and sxxperience. The Guardian says: We do not see why the Stock Farm should not be placed at his disposal, where experiments, for instance, withjthe silo could be carried on, and where students could receive that practical instruction which no lecture room could afford.

-The latest dodge is suggested by the Winnipeg Free Press, which says: ‘* Pro- bably by the next election there will be a dual leadership, as was the custom in the ante-confederation days, Laurier looking after Quebec and Blake after the English provinces.” The arrangement, as the Empire remarks, seems very ingenious and

AS

simple: Mr. Blake will take care of On- tario and leave Providence to look after ** poor Canada” as a whole, while Mr.

Laurier will throw his lasso and bring in the Ultramontane vote.”

-The St. John Sun remarks that it was not long since the press across the border was informing us Canadians that Great Britain would not affront the great republic oa our account. Canada was only a miser- able dependency—a child which would be taken across the maternal knee and spank- ed. Now we hear indignant complaints that Canadian intervention has prevented a solution of the Behring Sea question on lines which would have been satisfactory to

the United States. By and by it will be discovered at Washington that Canada and Great Britain are one, and that when mat- ters affecting Canadian interests are the subjects of international controversy, the

people of this country have something im-

portant to say.

—Commenting upon the false news of the result of the recent election in this Province the St. John Telegraph says :

This would steam to indicate that Liberal principles are as robust and popular on the Island as heretofore.” Yes. But they are not robust enough io gain a majority, except when, as in the last Dominion elec-

About 9.15 the train came along at fifty miles an hour and the engine struck a sleeper be-

tween Eastern avenue and Broadway bridge. The train was stopped, and it was

found that the cylinder jacket was dented, the step of the engine bent and some other injuries sustained. The sleeper was drag- ged a quarter of a mile by the engine, dig- ging great furrows in the ground and scat- tering splinters in all directions. secicealihiiaidis

The Moonlight Excursion.

THE moonlight excursion on board the steamer Princess of Wales last night, under .the auspices of the Citizen’s Band, was fairly well attended. About two hundred persons were present. The boat left the wharf at half past eight, proceeded down the harbor to the Block House, out on Hillsboro Bay until almost abreast of Point Prim when she was put ‘‘ right about” towards Pug- wash. After proceeding a short distance in this direction the steamer’s prow was pointed .towards home. The red range lights at Brighton which were kept as ‘‘one” until the red buoy was reached when the steamer was turned towards the wharf. This had the effect of immediately opening out the lights and showing what appeared as one before to be in reality ‘*two.”’ During the trip dancing and other amusements were engaged in by many, and taken all through the excursion was most pleasant aud enjoyable. Captain Cameron, in his own obliging and facetious manner, explained to all enquirers the many points of interest along the route, and as usual made his passengers feel comfortable and at home. A _ new light was observed to the eastward by one of the passengers which the Captain informed the discoverer to be ‘** Paddy’s Lantern.” The boat was moored to the wharf Gshortly after eleven o'clock. The night was perfect, and the excursion

delightful.
