SEPTEMBER 13, 1881.

The Historical Society.

“Tae Histronicat Socrery” formed yesterday will, we trust, supply a felt want. The officers elect are just now

very zealous; and the members are un- |

auimeus. If, in the presecution of the work new in hand, they maiptain even a reasonable share of the spirit by which they are now possessed, the Society will, undoubtedly, do much good.

City Taxes.

Ir will be seen on refercuce to the re- pert of the proceedings of the City Coun- cil that that body intend dealing sum- marily with all who have not paid their taxes. Certainly it appeurs unfair that some should be allowed to shirk pay- ment of their just taxes which others have puid.

Shall the Law be Respected?

A vigorous prosecution of offenders against the law which says that spiritu- ous liquors shall not be sold as a bev erage is now going on. In their efforts to vindicate the law, the Stipendiary Magistrate and the Inspector of Licenses will undoubtedly be uphe’d by the voice of public opinion. A self-respecting, law-abiding people cannot endure the sight of drunkards on the streets and iv places of public resort, while the law says that stuff which ‘makes drunk come” shall not be sold. The sooner all who have a predispesitio: to break the law are strongly impresse:! with this fact the beiter for themselves. | The Patriot as Confident and as

Wrong as ilver.

Ir is perfectly clear from the Patriot's own admissions that Mr. Lawson was promised access to the books in the Suin-

*merside Bank, as the condition on which Mr. Stewart was allowed into Presbytery to examine witnessess before that court last spring. This is the essential point, and one which really assumes all the importance of a covenent between Mr. Lawson on the one hand, nad Mr. Stewart and the Presbytery on the other. The particular forms of expression are of no account. Nor can we suppose that the President, either directly or indirectly, would allow any edvantage to be taken ef avy technicalities of one kind or another. The spirit, design, or inten- tion, honestly understood and easily seen, would be the special object the Presby- tery would cousider. Well then, it is as clear as can be, that Mr. Lawson did not gaia access to the books of the Summer- side Bank as he desired and had bar- gained for. There is faul: somewhere in this matter. The public are interested ia the case. They have a right to know the truth, the whole truth, and nothicg but the truth as regards this dispute be- twee the Patriot and us. Who does the Patriot blame? An aaswer to this ques- trion will enable us to see how de views the subject better than boasting of a vic- tory not yet gained. Before adding more, we wait for a reply.

Tne Summerside Progress, which bas been greatly improved of late and is now oue of the best ef our Island exchanges, says :—-

‘* We were found fault with in certain quarters, for stating that Mr. Blake’s mis- sion to the Island was a failure. Although we cameto that conclusion after hearing Mr. Blake’s speech on McMillan’s lawn, we did not publish our opinion until we were satistied by intercourse witi: persons from different sections of the County, that our report would be correct: We have no de- sire to do injustice to Mr. Blake or te any of bis adherents, but we must say candidly that every day conviness us more ard more, that Mr. Blake's visit to this Province was a cemplete failure. He came here, no doubt, with the expectation of adding strength to the party ef which he is the leader, but we venture to say that after ad- dressing three public meetings, ome in each County, he departed, leaving his party in a worse position than when he arrived.”

Exhibitien Notes.

The fare to and from the Montreal Exhibition is: from Summorfide, $13,50 ; from Charlotietown $15.

The fare for passengers attending the Dominion Exhibition at Hulifax is net yet fixed. The authorities should settle this lmportant little matter at once. People are auxiously enquiring.

Half fares have been secured for those who attend the lecal exhivition in Char- lottetown.

We are glad to learn froia the Secretary of the Advizory Beard, that quite a number of entries of grain of different kinds have been made for the Dominion Exhibition.

From the report of a recent inquest in Engiand it would appear chat precocious children and weak-minded parents are net coniined to America. The inquest was upon the body of a child aged three years and ten months, and the evidence went to shew that the deceased was very fond of school, and was continually talking of his lesaons and sume in the deli ium of his sick ness. Acting upon medica! testimony the jury brought in a verdict to the effect that the child's death was due t» congestion of the brain brought on by over-work. The idea uf a child under four years of age at sc2col, aud. delirious over “lessons and suis,” is prepostercus. Sucl: eraclty should be prevented by law. <<a

DAILY HX AMINER,

tad and Fatal Accident. On the morning of the 6th inst., Donald McEachern, of Victoria, Lot 29, and his son Duncan, started to catch mackerel On arriving at the boat, there being only one oar on board, Mr. McEKachern returned to his house te procure another. Whion he returned te the boat his son was missiny. Afver searching in vain for the missing one around the wharves and elsewhere, some

ifriends dragged the bottom where he was

last seem and found the body. A large crowd had gathered around by this time ; and men unused to weep, wept freely, seeing the grief of the bereaved parents, brothers and sister. The deceased was ten years of aye, son of Donald and Jane McKachern— a smart, active, thoughtful, kind son. ‘The parents have the sincere sympathy of their neigh- bors and friends iu their very sad bereave- ment.—Com. ibd

City Counc. The regular mcnthly meeting of the City Council was held last evening. Present: Councillors Murphy, Chappelle, Lawsaen, Davy, McLean, Smith, Blake, Koughan, Byrne and Morris.

Hia Worship the Mayor being. still absent in England, it was moved by Goun- cillor Murphy, seconded by Councillor Chappelle, and

Resolved, That Councillor Koughan take the chair.

A number ef accounts having, during recess, been paid by Councillor Murphy, hie action in paying said accounts was con- firmed.

A letter was read from Robert Shaw, Esq., on behalf of Miss Elizabeth Arnold, who, he said, had received injuries on Euston Street by reason of a defective sidewalk. Ordered to be referred to His Honor the Recorder.

Read a letter from Mr. George Brace, praying for a remission of the balance due by him for city taxes for the year 1880. The letter having oveen referred to the Recorder, he (the Recorder) stated that it was his opinion that the Council had not the power to interfere by way of reduction of any taxes after they had been appealed to him as Stipendiary Magistrate, and that they hed not the power to remit or reduce taxes, onee levied by the Assessors, by any vote or resolution of Council.

It was then moved by Councillor Murphy, seconded by Councillor Chappelle, aud unanimeusly

iii Back from Wimbledon.

Cot. Gisson, Captain of the Canadian Team at Wimbledon, has returned to his home in Hamilten, Ont. He speaks in the highest terms of the match at Wimbledon, and especially of the Canadian team. The Kolapore Cup, he stated, they had brought with them, but had sent it to Ottawa where the Dominion Rifle Agaociation matches are taking place. He speaks highly of the Naiional Rifie Asseciation, who invited them to attend numerous entertainments and who showed the Canadians every pos- sible courtesy. In regard to the match, he stated that he did not do any shooting him- self this year. He found that to look after the shooting of the team, te receive visitors, and perform other social duties, took all his time. The team pitted against the Canadians, he said; was as strong a one as could be selected. Names such as MoVit- tie, Cortis, McCauslan, McIeaac, Hargreaves, and Mitchell, show what the Canadians haa to contend against They are among the most freqnent prize-winuers and best shots with the military rifle on Wimbledon CGom- men. Cortis and McVittis have been oftener in the Queen’s sixty than any other two men. As to position, the majority of the G@id Country team shoot lying on their backs. The Canadians used the prone position. There is at present some differ- ence of opinion in the Dominion Rifle As- seciation as to whether or not the back position sheuld not be ruled out altogather. Ne further stated that while under some circumstances those who shoot on the back position had an advantage, he was satisfied that with the military rifle the prone posi- tion is the safest, and was inclined to attri- bute the defeat of the British team to the fact of the majority ef them adopting the

back _pesitivn. In regard to the new rule that new men must be sent every year, he gave -it

as his opinion that it wasan unwise regu- lation. Such « restriction would in many cases keep tle best out, and he slso stated that it was an acvantage to a man to a‘tend

To the Editor of the Examiner.

Dyan Srrk,—The venerable City Fathers wonld find it to their advantage to look more closely to the enforcement of Jaw and order in Charlottetown. At present it is evident that mob law prevails. Ifour police force is in- efficient to sta:np eut crime and rowdyisin, why not increase the number? It would pay the city morally and materially to do so. Our most respectahle citizens cacuot walk out at uight without being assaulted by a crowd of roughs,who are a disgrace to eur city. These rowdies are to be found day and night at our atreet corners, insulting those whe para by them. At the City Hotel a large number of thes» low cowards assemble every eveniny. At the eastern end of the city, where the police’s visits are something like angels visits. it would be unsafe for ary respectable person to travel the lanes, even on a Sunday even ing. The other evening, during Mr. Ken. nedy’s entertainment, the ball was turned into a bear garden, and the police were unabl- or afraid to do their duty. Come, Marsbul Flyn 1, do your duty, or step down and ont. Come, Mr. Fitzyerald; come, City Fathers; perform your various duties more efficiently or leave the government of the city in better hands.
