APRIL

29, 1881. F Erroneous Statemenis and Methods

the Patriots

We have a short reply to statement that, --

“If the application of Mr. M :Leod had been granted, when would the genet al else- tions have been off? Right at the time when every one will *‘ be almost too busy to think of anything but farming. No consider- ation was to be shown the farmers, as long as there was a hope by hook or by crook that the | fory Governrasent could be kept in power.

(hese statements are simply and «hao

lutely untrue. The late Government never

. 5 }

contemplated the idea of having a general

election in May. They proposed, out of

consideration for the farmers, that the elec-

tion should not be held before the 16:h of June.

It is also untrue that,

‘‘When the Tories could get

; : : the

spend, they said nothing abeut reducing the

legislarure to fifteen men; now, however,

when the treasury is at least $190,000 worse

than empty, they are strong for retrench ment.”

(1.) The Tories could have had money by the same method as that adopted by the grits, viz., by taxation. But they pre- ferred to abolish the to economize, and to collect the debts due the Province. If they have not been so successful as they hoped and expected—let it be remembered that the grits, with their Legislative Coun- cil, stood ever in their way!

(2.) Tue Examiner repeatedly advised the reduction of the Legislature to fifteen men when yet the Province was entirely out of debt to the banks. Retrenchment has been the watchword of the Tories o since 1877.

(3) We venture the assertion that thedeb dve by the Province to the banks will not after the second week of July next be more than 250,000—notwithstanding the accession of the Grits.

The Government withholds the Accounts, and, by the Patriot, raises a hue and ery cancerning the financial state of the Province. These be the tactica of the grits! But the people will judge only by what is shown in the Public Accounts.

Notes aud Comments.

~~La Moniteur de Commerce calls upon the schoolmasters and the members of the French Canadian clergy in this province to instruct the people in the duties they owe the soil. The writer holds that if the far- mers of Quebec are not good farmers it is because their education is not eufticieatly

practical. —The Fremdenblatt andj the Neue Freie : ; ; Presse, in commenting on President's

speech at Galveston, agree that a European zollverein is the only answer to American protection. The Fremdenblatt suggests that European nations look to the African and Asiatic colonies for goods which they have hithorto bought from America.

—The Breeders’ Gazette of Chicago re- ports ‘‘for the nine months ending March 3t-* -{ this year our cattle experts aimount-

in value to $23,702,440, an increase over the corresponding period last year ot $3,218,774. Our total beef and hog pro- ducts exported for the tive months ending March 3ist last reached a valuation of $54, - 993,857, a gain of $8,894,426 over the same period in 1890. Our total beef, hog and dairy exports for the past three months footed ap $34,810,841, an increase of $2,- 041,853.

~The road to Victoria Park, through | Government House grounds, has been | closed owing to the fact that cattle have been getting in through the open gate and trampling over the newly planted land. {t is understood that the Government in- tend building a fence to keep the cattle out and that the roadway will be re-opened in a few days. Perhaps this explanation will satisfy Tue Examiner's invalid corrospon dent and others who are particularly inter- ested. But when shall we see the Park roadway upon which the puplic may walk or drive without intruding upon the grounds | of Government House /

~A sale of horses at Toronto Jast week has shown again that in ill-bred avimal is of bvt little valne, and very difficult to get rid of at almost any price, while the well-bred | horse commands a ready sale with a good | profit to the breeder. A very attractive lot of some two hundred animals had been collected from different parts of (Onutario. Many of them had received some training and were carefully fitted before being offered for sale. Big prices were realized. A handsome large gelding which goes to Detroit, was sold at $1,050. The next highest price paid was for a cress matched team of mares, grey and brown, which were knocked down tos Buffalo man at $1,675. During the afternoon 44 animals were dis- posed of at an average price of $377, making @ total of $16,595. If our farmers were impressed with the importance of raising only the best animals, they would

prosper.

he general appropriation for dredging in| he Maritime Provinces.

At Cascumpec, the work of excavating a channel thrcugh the inner bar has been | continued, and some 4,000 cubic yards of rock have been blasted, ready for removal by adredge. By adopting this procedure it is anticipated the channel will be com- pleted at an earlier date and at less cost. At Chapel Point a contract has been en- | tered into for repairing the superstructure of the existing pier and extending it a dia- tance of 44 feet ; at the close of the fiscal year abort half of the work was com- pleted.

{r China Point, extenaive works of re- newal and repairs were commenced by the Department, under contract, nearly half of the work undertaken being completed at the end of the vear.

General repairs and improvements were made on the following piers, viz.: Annan- dale, Belfast, Hickey’s, Kier’s Shore, Lambert’s, Melzeque breakwater, New London breakwater, North Rustico, Pin- ette, Port Selkirk, Pcwnal, St. Mary’s Bay, Souris (or Colville Bay) breakwater, South River and Stephen’s.

Dredging was done at Charlottetown, Forth Rustico, Red Point and South Rustico.

Yon Moltke’s Last Days.

t t

Count Von Moltke, during the last few days previous to his death, worked with his wooted regularity. He had no premonition of death. He had nearly completed plans for the fortification of the Island of Heli- goland, and sent a report to Emperor William on Tuesday last. The work that passed out of his hands showed no trace of any abatement in his constructive genius {and his mastery of detail. The Count told Chancellor Von Caprivi that when his plans for the fortification of Heligoland were approved he would go to Schaugenbad to take the waters, as he was suffering from a slight affection of the skin. Intimate friends of the Count who greeted him in the Reichstag say he showed no symptom that he was suffering from iliness. ¢ He ap- peared to be enjoying excellent health. He walked home after he had finished his labors in the Reichstag. He had been out every day fura week. He dined with the Swedish minister and during the evening he was very animated. He retired, but it was supposed by the others present that he would soon return, but as he did not, his nephew went after him. He found his

uncle in a sitting position gasping for breath. The Count attempted to rise, and for a moment appeared to have overcome

his weakness. He got up and then fell into his nephew's arms, seeming to faint. In s few moments he breathed his last. A doctor was hurried directiy in, but he de- elared life was extinct, because death was caused by trouble of the heart. The Count was not known to suffer from any pro- nounced heart trouble. The clock work cf life had simply run down, sScndialiiati lignite det

Personal. Jadge Hensiey has been’ granted leave of absence till October 30th. Mr. Harry N. Goff, of this city, is among the B. A. graduates at McGill University, Montreal, this year.

The Rev. Alfred Osborne, B. D , has passed successfully the examination of Trinity for the degree of Doctor of Divinity.

The election of Sir James Baia for White- haven on Friday makes the third bye-eleetorial success won by Lord Salisbury this year. The Liberals have won nothing. The British Premier appears to have taken a leat out of the Canadian Premier’s book. The Canada Gazette received this morning, contains the following under the heading of “Appointments”: ** Edward Jarvis Hodgson, of the City of Charlottetown, in the Province of Prince Edward Island, Esquire, one of Her Majesty's Counsel learned in the Law, to be Master of the Rolls in Chancery and an Assistant Jadge of the Supreme Court of Prince Edward Island, vice the Honourable Mr. Justice Peters, resigned.” + SE News Notes. On Tuesday last $1,699,000 in gold was yrdered to New York for export.: At Iqnique, Chili, recently, $20 was paid for a can of preserved milk, and beef sold at $10 a pound. Heavy rains have caused destructive floods in Peru. Many lives have been lost. Telegrams received in London report that the Roumanian Government has issued orders stopping the expert of maize in con- sequence of the depletion of the stocks of maize in Roumania.

Notes from Baldwin's Road.

—_— ~ ———=<»

ace more the recurrence of the vernal season awakens a feeling of gladness in every heart. People uo longer dwell upon the severities and hardships of the late vinter, so happy are they in the realization hat the warm weather has come when hey can walk ferth once more to enjoy the valray air and refreshing breeze. :

Bat, although this is a season in which all should feel glad, yet they cannot afford to spend it in pleasant recreation, for they must be ‘up and doing,” preparing for the exigencies of another winter, especially the farmer, whose avocation is one of toil, must be out from the “rising of the sun to the going down thereof,” tilliag and sowing for a harvest which he hopes will give him re- munerative returns for his labor.

The farmers of Baidwin’s Road are wide awake to the injunction that ‘ta man must sow if he intends to reap,” and have start- ed the plough in several places. The land being high and dry and suitably adapted to early working, they have made rapid strides, while others of surrounding dis- tricts have scarcely begun.

Considerable shipping has been done here this spring. Mr. Ely has loaded a car at 48 Station, and Mr. Dennis Mc- (Juaid is loading a couple of cars at Bald- win’s Station. Prices range from 32 to 35 cents. —Com.

| Fold the hands gently, preas the eyes closely,

Tenderly pillow the head—

ands that are pulseless, eyer that are aight- lesa,

A weary wayferes is dead.

Eare dail of bearing, lips cold and voiceless,

The tongue its last message has said.

Feet that were weary are resting forever—

An earthly sojourn is dead.

Pause, then, as we come to the end of the journey, Whence a soul life forever has fled ; Speak softly, tread lightly, where Infinite Presence Enwraps and embraces our dead.

Then fold the hands gently, presa the eyes closely, And tenderly pillow the head. Last words have been spoken, last messages given, And last adieus waved to our dead. —John Wentworth in Good Housekeeping.

Moncton Notes.

Mr. W. C. Davidson, a former resident of this city, is here visiting friends.

Mr. Geo. Douglass, ex-city surveyor, one of Charlottetown’s old citizens, is also in the city on his return from Toronto, where he had been rejuvenating. Mr. Douglass was anold resident of Moncton, having lived here some 35 or 40 years ago.

A gong connected witb the fire alarm system has been placed in the engine room of the railway works. Whenan alarm of fire is sounded the engineers will sound two short whistles and thus notify the fire- men in the works. Something of this sert was greatly needed, as a number of firemen working in the shops were unable to hear the fire bell.

This morning De. E. O. Steves amputa- ted a toe from the right foot of an infant born in Moncton a short time ago. The foot was perfect in shape, except that on the outside of the right foot waa an ad- ditional toe.

The steamer Arbutus will begin her tripe on Monday. The will arrive here about 12 o'clock.

Mr. Pascal Herbert, of Memramcook,and Mr, J. C. Steadman of Moncton, met on Tuesaday, and arranged a trotting match be- tween the colc of the former and Mr. Steadman’s ‘‘Sir John,” the race to take place on the 20th of May, on the Moncton Trotting Park, and will be the best two in three heats. The first deposit, $50 a side was made with Mr. P. 8. McManus. The final deposit of $50 will be made about May let. B.
