Mr. Davies and the Fishery Award. |

Mr. Davies’ excuse for not bringing the Island's claim to a share of the! Fishery Award before the House of}

Commons, accordicg to his pre-election | promises, is more plausable than satis: | f.ctory. It “would be a bad stroke of | poticy,” he says, *‘to press the claim to! a share of the Award at the time the} two questions of continuous steam com- munication and payment for our piers were being considered by the Govern

The puerillity of this excuse is If we had |

ment,” apparent on the face of it.

two valid grounds of complaint against |,

the Federal Government, the addition of a third equally valid ove, would enhance rather than diminish our chances of receiving some measure of redress. We cannot how we could forfeit our right to continuous communication with the Mainland, and to having our public piers maintained at the expense of Canada, according to the British North Act, by one of our representatives de- manding in the House of Commons our share of the Fishery Award.

But admitting, for argument sake, that Mr. Davies is right as to the policy of the course he hus pursued, it furnishes no excuse for his promise breaking in re- gard to the Fishery Award. He knew, when he ran his election, that the ques- tion of Steam Communication with the Mainland would have to come before the Commons. He says the claim of the Island in regard to Piers, “is founded on a decision of the Supreme Court of Cavada.”” Well, that decision was given before he wrote his election card. He knew all about it for he was engaged in the suit. Will he plead that he did not believe, wheu he ran his election that the Pier question wculd be pressed on the Domivion Government? If, then, he knew all about the existence and the im- portance of these two questions when he appealed to the electors of Queen's County, and if he felt that our interests in regard tothem might be prejudiced by pushing our claim to a share of the Fishery Award, and if he regarded them of such paramount importance, as would warrant the postpouement of our demand for the million and a quarter of dollars, why did he make such loud and boastful promises of what he would do in obtain- ing that money? Although our late represeutatives had faithfully, year after year, advocated our claim on_ the award, Mr. Davics did not hesitate to misrepresent their conduct befcre the electors. He was not surprised, he said in his election card, that we had not ob- tained the money because our late re- presentatives had not brought the ques- tion properly before the Commons. He said further that the “inexcusable delay” which bad then taken place had “seriously prejudiced our case.” Still, if elected, he would do all in his power to obtain a recognition of ourrights. If Mr. Davies believed the delay which had then taken place in properly presenting our case, was “inexcusable,” and had “seriously prejudiced our case,” it is vow in order for him to explain how a further delay of twelve months can be otherwise than ‘“jnexcusable,”’ and how our case can survive the inevitable and “serious prejudice” sure to arise from ‘‘inexous- able del: y” still further delayed.

If the Examiner has not, so far, succeeded in compelling Mr. Louis H Davies to acknowledge the deception he

see

practiced on the electors in regard to the Fishery Award, we have the satisfaction to know that we

have torced from him the acknowledg meu that the Pier question, raised by the Conservative Government, an important one for the Island,” and that he ‘‘was most anxious to avoid doing anything which by possibility might weaken it.” Mr. Davies must feel him- self sorely pressed when he is compelled to sit upon hisfrieads in local polities afte: this fashion. Mr. David Laird scouted the Pier question and compared it to a claim which somebody might trump up agaigst somebody elses grandfather. Mr. Peter Sinclair declared that in three years, at a cent a bushel for produce, more money would be ground ont of

us in the way of wharfage than the amoust of our. claim. The small fry of Grit politicians have done little but denounced the action of the

Tue Examinerk may ftatily claim the | credit of having effected. Before the general elections, Mr. Davies spoke in the most contemptuous mapper of Mr. Brecken and our other representatives | in the late House of Commons, because | of their want of proper action on the Fish- | ery Award. But there is not one word | in this letter about the want of **pluck” envergy’’ or ‘‘courage” of Messrs. Brecken, Hackett, McDonald and Mat- tart. On the contrary, he admits that he! actually consulted one of these

is surely of itself a position sufficiently pitiable ; but, when we find our hero of yesterday, cringing, io his humiliation, before ‘a tool of Sir John,” asking aid and comfort from one he had so lately denounced as being destitute of “pluck,” “energy,” and “ability,” the abjectness

of the picture may be said to be complete. Success to Our Farmers. Ir is seatcely unecessary to say anything as to the importance of Agriculture. An art on which the

human race depends for their daily bread must certainly be the most important of It is estimated that over a thousand millions of men are dependant on it for their very sustenance, while over two bundred millions men engage in it daily as au occupation, ‘ The farmer feeds the world” is an old and a true saying which everybody understands. People could, pethaps, get along very well without many of the trades and professions ; but the inhabitants of all civilized countries, at least, look upon the art of agriculture as essential to their very existence. It is, therefore, of the utmost importance, that those who engage in the cultivation of the soil, should receive every encouragement, and that all possible facilities should be afforded them to become acquainted, both with the practical and theoretical bear- ings of their occupation, in order that agricultural pursuits may take that posi- tion among the industries of the world, to which they are confessedly entitled. In glancing at our own Province we are glad to observe that much has been done to promote farming interests, and that our farmers, as a class, compare favorably either in wealth or intelligence with the farmers of any other Province in the Dominion. It will be remember- ed that Messrs. Davies aud Mclntyre stated on the floor of the House of Com- moos last winter, that our farmers were in a state of poverty avd misery, that whole settlements have left the Island, and that never were such starvation times known in the recollection of the oldest inhabitant. Any one who has any doubts about the iniquity and un- truthfulness of such assertious can easily enlighten himself by taking a drive through the country at the present time. Instead of seeing the balf-clad, half- starved, miserable wretches, depicted by Mr. Davies and Dr. Melutyre, he will meet with respectable looking men, whose very approach indicates prosperity and sood cheer. He will see well cultivated fields and thriving homesteads on every hand. We venture the assertion that at no period in the history of our Province was there better prospects of a large and profitable farm yield than at the preseat time. A larger crop than usual was sown this spring, grain and grass fields are logking splendidly, giving already promise of handsome returns to the husbandman, aud a flat contradiction to the statements of the two Grit oliticians. The present cheering outlook is well calculated to give increased impetus to

of

ry

Pr

our farming incustries. As this is es- sentiaily an egricultural country, no

pains should be spared in endeavoring to make farming more and more success- ful from year to year. To this end, we believe, agricultural chemistry shoald be taught In our district schools. About ihe time of the introduction of the Coles and Whelan Free School Law, Mr. Stark, besides filling the office of School Inspector for the whole Island, gave lectures throughout the country ou agri- cultural chemistry. These lectures were a stepin the right direction. But the matter was not carried far enough. Then, as now, no text books on ihe subject of farming were provided for the schools, except a little one written by Judge Peters, entitled “Hints to the farmers of P. E. Islund,” and beginning :—

‘Dung well the land and till the soil,

Nor intermit your aseful toil, &c.”

It was a very good little work in its way, bat not suitable for general use. We hope soon to see the subject of agricul- ‘ural industry brought regularly in our schools. The boys new at school will soon be men,and if it is intended that those who follow farming, as an occupation, shall keep pace with the progressive spirit of the times, they should be made familiar, in early life, with the teaching of modern science, in its relations to practical husbundry, and when they are old, we feel sure, they will not depart from it.

LY BXAMINER, JUNE 12.

The City Council. Tue regular monthly meeting of the City Council was held last evening. Present, His Worship the Mayor, the Recorder, the Chief of the Fire Department, Counci'lors Murphy, C:abbe, Koaghan, Davy, Horne, Ladner, Douse, Tanton and Morris.

Payment of a number of accounts was ordered.

CouncILLorn KouGHan suggested the pay - ment now of the amount which the Licens- ing Board were willing to accept as a compromise of their claim againet the city.

Councrttor Horns said that in conver- sation with Mr. Curtis he had suggested that the matter should stand over until the end of the term, and that Mr. Curtis seemed willing to accept this suggestion,

Councittor Dousr said that if the amount had to be paid it might as well be paid at once.

Covcittor KoveHan moved, seconded by Coun¢illor Douse, that $150 be paid in full for their services up to the end of the term and in full for all claims up to that date.

Motion carried.

Councittor Dovuse moved that Mr. Tomlins be paid $100 in full for all claims against the City as Secretary for the Licens- ing Board.

Carried.

CouncittoR LapNeR moved that the salary of Mr. McGowan, Secrelary of the Fire Department be reduced to $125 a year, avd the salary of Mr. Brennan, Messenger, be reduced to the same amount.

CounciLtor Kovenan said that the amount saved would go a small way towards the $10,000. (A laugh.) He was astonished at the motion.

CounciLior Lapner said we have a right to respect the wishes of the citizens, and many who were paying ‘taxes are just as much in need as the ofticials named.

CounciLtor Morris said that in his opinion a regular janitor should be ap- pointed. He did not like to discharge old officials, and would like te see the motion deferred.

CouNcILLOR KovuGHan moved that Coun- cillor Ladner have leave to withdraw. his motion.

CouNncILLOR CRaBBE thought the motion outrageous.

CounciLton Horne said it seemed very hard to discharge Mr. McGowan and Mr. Brennan. He would like to see them re tire on an allowance, and a janitor appoint- ed.

The Chief Engineer on being asked the question, said that the Secretary was always present at meetings of the Board.

CouncILLoR Murpry said that he would sooner see the old officials referred to dis- charged altogether than reduced to a star- vation allowance. He strongly opposed the resclution.

Couscrtnon Tanton said the Ward he represented was in favor of the proposed reduction.

Council divided on the amendment. —

Amendment lost. Motion carried.

The petition of Robert Scott and others, for a new pump on the corner of Fit roy and Prince Streets, was referred to the Pump Committee.

The letter of John F. Robertson, offering one hundred tons of eoal of the Reserve Mine, was referred to the Tender Committee.

CouNCcILLoR MurpBry, according to notice, asked the Stipendiary Magistrate,—

(1) Has the City Council the legal power to bring water into Charlettetown from Winter River, or any other place.

(2) Can the Orty Council give legal authority to any person or company to bring water into Charlottetown from Winter River, or any other place.

He asked these questions for the purpose of satisfying public opinion. For his own part he thought water could only be brought into Charlottetown by means of a joint stock company—authorized by the Legisla- ture.

The Stipendiary Magistrate said he would answer emphatically ‘‘no” to both questions.

CounciLtor Morris moved that a safe be provided for the protection of the City books, papers, ete,

Motion carried. Council adjourned.
