circumstances, conscientious men who

had not made up their minds before the

scrupulous electors would vote either for

EUROPEAN NAVIES—A FRENCH VIEW |

The naval armament boom followed by public opinion in That the English have made up their mind to have armadas ready, is that France cannot keep pace with her is equally true, and to force any conflict even now js not at all to he thought of. This is a singular kind of block system. No one speaks about war, and believes in pea Having plainly stated her firm resolution to ma‘n- tain her supremacy in the Mediterranean, England must be prepared to uphold that, and this means, naturally, plenty of ship-, of the latest build, in that sea. Not much is counted upon the Russian squadron in the Levant. Ifthe Czir secures a haven of rest for his ships to there come and go permanently, of course preparations would take another form. Itis uncertain what sparks the Hiapanc-Moroeco war may rend firing over inflammable Eurepe. The fin- ancial condition of Italy is unsatisfactory, but that will not force her to cast her armaments to the winds. Besides, the want of money, never prevents a power going to war. If hard pressed, money can alwiys be had as & first charge on the taxes, or secured a preference place. No ~erions attention is bestowed upon the Bal- tic military harbors that are to be built: that will require years. and concerns chic- fly the German navy, which ie any day a match for Russia’s, and this does not rig- nify a great deal.

It was expected that between 500 and 600 children would be present. There are twenty-one tea- tables in all. Following are the names of the ladies in attendance (30 far as we

LEPTERS 10 THE EDITOR.

Chnisiipncelippapeniiaien LECTURES TO LAW STUDENTS.

Sin,—Permit me to say a word with | reference to the lectures now being deliv- ered by me to the law students, to which | you refer in terms only too complimentary | to myself.

Whatever success may arise from these | lectures will be due to the excellence of the system and the ability of the young gentle- | men themselves. My portion of the work is of a subsidiary kind.

When stopping in Cambridge a short time ago, I spent much of my tinie in the | Law School at Harvard, where J was most | cindly welcomed by all the Professors. ] was permitted t» attend their lectures, and | was intensely interested in the mode of in- struction, known as the Langdel! system, | introduced by the present Dean of the Law School—Prefessor Langdell.

The plan of delivering @ series of written lectures is certainly better than

etting a student to read a series of books by himself, with little or no assistancc— vut its defect lies in this, that the lecturer as pO means of knowing whether the principles Le is laying down and the line; of argument he is following, are under- atood by his andience. Thev learn a few maxims, and that in some circumstance? certain results may probably be looked for—-and that is generally all... And years | of hard work are required in after life, to make up for the deficiencies of this defec- tive training.

The “case system” is entirely different. A series of cases illustrating principles of jurisprudence is given. They are care- fully selected, the head notes@ire omitted- so that it is not possible to kn@w what the | case is about w'thout carefullyreading it. | The student in this way is taught to whatis the meaning of legal*doctrines, | He lear by the only means (f believe) by whicli “it can be learned, “the notion of justice which the

sce

| lawyers and judges of England have | | developed by labors extending over | ’

centuries,” } The inveterate English habit of rejecting |

merely because it is not}

English, or because it is an innovation

; upon the traditions of the past, has been

forced to yield to the excellence of this | system, and it has been adopted (to a modi- fied extent) in the University of Cambridge. Professor Finch, in the preface to his says, & ‘ nt by this plan becomes famitiar

I had promised the students to give them some lectures this winter, and I was the more anxious to avail myself of the opportunity of watching the practical werxing of the Harvard system,to see how | had prom- | ised.

I cannot refrain from expressing my ob- | ligations to the gentlemen, who, as the

RATES ON THE STANLEY,

Sir,—Referring to your issue of the 8th, |

ETC,

you say: “We are authorized to state | that the rates of passage and freight

charged on the SS. Stanley are the same | as those charged by summer steamers,” In my letter of the 7th, I was dealing with the winter rates per SS. Stanléy, and not with a temporary arrangement, which prevailed in the fall of 1891, as well as

this autumn, only during the | season of open naygation. Fifty per cent. in past winters | was under rather than over | the actual tax on commerce, which to a large extent comes out of the people of |

this Province. As I understand, the | freight rates are simply local rates to and from Pictou. These are about 50 per

through rates. True, fora few days pas- | sengers were carried to Picton and back for $4, summer rate to Pictou, and return | } |

Now, take up the cost as via Geergetown winter ratesye Char- lottetown to Georgetown $1.26, fare on Stanley $3, bunk $1. $5.20; =| same, $10.40; cost in summer, Chariotte- town to Pictou, $3, and return $3. As the steamer Stanley is only a small part of the terms of Confederation, I | claim that freight and passengers should

| be carried on the people’s steamer from |

Charlottetown to Pictou and return for no | more than a corporation formed to make | money charges for the same service, While | giving their due meed of praise to the | Chariottetown Board of Trade, I think

Tue Examiver and Island press generally, | is entitled to some share of the commenda- | table,

and for even the temporary reduction in } freight and passenger rates on the the SS. Stanley. Goon Mr. Editor—country be- | fore party. As the Stanley is regarded as a concession to P. KE. Island, how comes it that stores are almost

exclusively bought in Pictou? In one | case, I learn an article was | ordered from Scotland that a local dealer |

here used to supply, and I have yet to | learn that anything has been saved by the |

change. No doubt Capt. Finlayson is a | very competent commander, but persons whore experience entitles their opinions to consideration

eay that the steamship Stanley could easily have run here a seek later this autumn. To parties whose goods were lefton the wharf at Pictou when the | Stanley made her jast trip to this port, this | sudden shift to Georgetown has proved | costly and annoying. The owners of several vessels frozen up are not likely to be very enthusiastic when political sup- | port is needed.

Assavit Case.~A man named~ John MeNevin has been summoned to appear before John T. Mellish, E-q., JaP., on Saturday next, to answer two charges of assault and battery preferred by Dr, John Murchison. Both parties live at Bonshaw. | Dr. Murchison charges that on the evening of the Sth December, MeNevin called at his house and assaulted himeelf and wife by striking and knoeking him down, and also serving his wife in a similar way, and kicking her while she was down. It is said that Mrs. Murchison is in a dangerous condition as a result of the assault, having been confined to her bed ever since. Dr. Robertson, of Crapaud, is in attendance.

Since writing the above we hear that Mrs. Murchison died to-day.
