Editorial Notes.

at —Our esteemed correspondent “ voter advances several good practical reasous for preferring open voting to the ballot. |

—A Temperance Convention was lately held at Toronto, and the opinion expressed that public opinion in Canada is riper for total prohibition than is generally supposed.

—Speaking in the French Chamber of Deputies on the Ist inst., M. Paul De Cassaguac said: ** The army belongs to France When you tell us to go get killed for France we shall go, but not for the Republic.”

—Having hada war, the people of Egypt are suffering the consequent distress. The poorer class of Europeans are the greatest sufferers. It is said that the Khedive's Government will be compelled to take some action speedily to prevent widespread destitution.

—In France, matters politica) are still in doubt and difficulty, and a late des- patch says “the couviction is gaining ground that the French are on the eve of fresh troubles.” France is sadly iv need of a grevt patriot ; and, like P. E. Islaud, she has too many small, self- seekivg politicians.

—The Toronto Globe's Ottawa corres- pondent reports that “in the King’s County, P. E. Islaud double return case, both contestants have been allotted seats’ in the House of Commons. But Dr. Robertson remains at Montague It is reported that he awaits the receipt of a telegram from Ottawa—whether from Sir Joho or Mr. Blake the rumor does not say.

—Referring to the inadequate means of communication between the mainland of Cavada aud this Province, the St. John News says: ‘‘ The Islanders are about to press their claim on the Dominion Goveroment aud Purliament avew for the improvement of their communicatious all the year round with the maiuland, No doubt they will get a favorable hear- ing The justice of their claim will be readily admitted. But they must not expect impossible results.’’

—Advices from England state that the radicals amoung the British farmers are becoming dissatisfied wi'h the Liberal Ministry. It is said they are much dis- appointed that amoung the subjects recentiy meatioued by members of the Ministry as likely to occupy the atten- tion ef Parliament during the coming session the question of tenants’ compeu- sation has found no place. They think also that the Government having received the report of the Royal Commission on Agriculture, and having legislated upon the Irish land ques'ion, the farmers of Eogland and Scotland have ‘‘a right to claim that their interest shall now be considered and dealt with.”

—The Moncton Transcript is res- ponsible for the following, which will be read with interest—especially by persons most directly interested in the improve- ment of the Capes route :—

‘“‘*Twe Care Rattway.—The construction of the Cope Tormentine Railway was com- menced on the Sackville end in August last, and has been going ahead steadily ever since. the total length of the line is thirty-nine miles of which tea are already graded. The work across the marshes has been finished, and the construction crews are now working in the woods near Midgic, There sre at pres- ent between fifty and sixty men engaged in the cuttings, most of which, so far as reached, are gravel. One of the contractors ssys that, if the same favorable circumstances continue, the road will be in running order bv next fall. No rails have been laid as yet. but assoon as the spring opens upiron wil be pat down, and a construction train put on.”

—The first instalment of the evidence in the Muttart-McIutyre case will be found in another column of Tae Exa- miner. No doubt it will be partienlarly interesting to our readers in King’s County ; for they will learn from it the peculiar advantages they possess in having Mr. J. R McLean ‘in the Lower House,”’ and Dr. Melntyre ‘in the Dominion House.” They will also learn from it that it is as useless to approach a true thorough-going Conservative with the offer of “something handsome,”’ as it is to tempt his party allegiance with a “treat” out of a bottle of rum, It is hinted in the evidence that Mr. McLean ‘“‘washed his hands,’’ and it is, at all eveots, quite certain that, wash as he may, his hands will never again be quite clean iu the eves of the electors. The washiog of his h»nds, reminds us that u cert in Roman Goveruvor, on a particular occasion did the same thiag. Did Mr. McLean wish to show by the act that he was :nnocent of the offence of introducing the rum bottle into the canvass?

An enormous public work has just been completed in India—the Sirhind Canal, which is 500 miles long and has subsidiary channels of 2,000 more miles. The canal takes water from the Sutlej, and will bring into cultivation by irrigation 750,000 acres of very rich lands. A few more such works as these and the day of Indian famines will be over.

According to a calculation made by Mr. J. R Dodge, the statistician of the Agri- cultural Bureau in Washington, the amount of grain harvested in the United States in 1882 was 502,798,600 bushels of wheat. 1,624,917.800 bushels of corn, and 475,- ote men 2 _ This estimate is a

We do not hold owrselves reaponsible for the opinions or statements of our correspondents,

West Kent Street School. To the Editor of the Examiner. Sir,— Yesterday’s Examiner contvins an anonymous letter in reply to mine of the Sed inst. The writer is well known to me as one who has no personal interest in the matter respecting which he has written. It is very questionable whether he was ever in the West Kent Street School Building twice during the winter season, end there- fore his knowledge of its ‘‘ heating and venti ating arrangements,” must be very tim ted. I declime to discurs the matter with any writer who does not attach his real’ name to his statements. Any person who will take the trouble to call at the Office of the School Board can have all necessary information with respect to any of the Schools. Yours, &c.,

Matters.

l'o the Editor of the Examiner.

Civic

Dear Sir,—Considering the times, I think one would be comparatively safe in stating that the one who signs himself ‘One who pays his bills,” in an article in Tar Examiner of the Ist instant, would not venture to make public his name, for fear of having his mind, which already seems to be in an unsatisfactory state, con- siderably disturbed by ‘“‘dunners’’ on the ‘*warpath” As he has decided not to follow ‘‘Civis” in *‘ his wanderings,” but only to speak of the Bell Tower contract, and as | am acquainted with that contract, I assume the nght to answer him in it. He says Blake Brothers took the lower flat some five years ago, when no other vutcher would take it. Did the Conncil ask any other butcher to take it? Did they try to lease it in any way after taking it off the ands of the parties who first took it? Caa it not be let to any other trade besides the butchering business! Or do they now acknowledge that it is part and parcel of the Market House. If the members of the Council) who voted fora renewal of that case consider thet they did a good thing for the city, why do they remain silent and in no way attempt to defend their actions? You think they (the ont geing Council) did well for the eity and should have been returned. I must say that it looks now as thongh there are a good mapy not of your opivien. Your interest however does not seem to centre on Civie matters, you seem rather pleased to get what you consider an opportunity, to give vent to your spitefulness and to show to. advantage how malicious it is possible for a narrow con- tracted mind to be. What has your Bank of P. E Island figures got to do with civic matters. Any intelligent person can see that they were used for the sole purpose of aslur; but, as lam not aware who the person is who signs himself *‘One who pays his bills,” and as he is in the same position with regard to ‘‘Oivis,’ I will not at present go further, but will leave the re- mainder of his letter for ‘‘Civis’’ to answer, aud in conclusion will say that life is not made up of simply paying one’s bil!s, and that the eft-repeated, and now monotonous attempts to damage the character of those who are defaulters to the old Bank, has proved a great failure, and particularly in the case cited by ‘‘One who pays his bills,” for, if after conducting a b isiness in one place for over twenty yeirs, there can be nothing else brought against a man save that he has been unsuccessful, and that under such circumstances as exist- ed, he was unfortunate enough to have an overdraft in the Bank at the time of its failure, is of itsself a character which few equal and none can better, for it is not in mortals to command success, and the wheel of fortune turns incessantly round, and who can say within himself I shall to-day be uppermost. Yours etc., Civis No. 2. >.

Trotting Horses.

To the Editor of the Exammer.

Srr,—Allow me to say to my learned fciend V. D. N. O., that his reply is quite satisfactory. I uever hinted that he could do impossibilities. Laws should either be respected or repealed. And if he can show reason why the act in question should be repealed, I, as an elector shall vote repeal. But he has not given the shadow of an argument. Opinions are not arguments.

A Panama despatch of Jan. 24th says the details of the capture of Esmeralde, Ecuacor, by revolutionists, show that a small force of revolutionists attacked the outports in three different qnarters and drove them in. The central division of assailents reached the square and occupied the houses, while the second division seized the firat line of trenches in front of them. The besiegers all threw up earthworks. The garrison in the inner trenches resisted fourty-four hours. The firing was continu- ed. The garrison finally abandoned their position after sacking stores and dwelling houses, and firing the city in three places. The attacking party had 13 killed and 26 wounded. The dictator lost 40 killed and an equal number wounded. The de- feated Government troops left and went to Guayaquil. The revelution was almust a complete success. The Columbian exiles in Oleando crossed the river and defeated the Government forces at San Luis. Haught, the revolutionary Governor, will expel Jesuits and establish restrictions upon pre- rogatives of the clergy. In Guavaqui! a panic prevails; the people are fleeing. This is the last stronghold of the dictator. He *as pressing men and horses and every- thing availtble to militia service. The people generally are highly pleased at the success of the revolution. A Government has already been nominated with a supreme director— Alfaro and four ministers.

Tae Commissioner of Agriculture for Quebec speaks very encouragingly of the prospects of the beet root sugar industry in that Province. The Chronicle says:—‘* We yearly expend millions—about $11,000,000 a year—for imported sugar in the raw state. It would enrich us very materially, and add to the wealth of the Province, if we could only make the enterprise a real indus- try of the place and work it as it should be worked,”

Opiruary.—A cablegram has been re- ceived at Windsor announcing the death of the Right Rev. Thomas G. Suther, D. D., D. C. L., Lord Bishop of Aberdeen and the Isles, Scotland. The deceased prelate was a graduate of the University of King’s C.llege, Windsor, taking a B. A. degree in 1833, and B. CO. L. and D. ©. L. in 1852. He was a ripe scholar, a deep thinker and profound theologian, and his loss will be severely felt by the Anglican Church.—Hz. Chronicle. :

Some days ago the Halifax Bank sent by mail to its agency, in Lunenburg, a package which, when it left the Bank, con- tained $5,000 in notes. When it arrived at Lunenburg, however, in place of the valuable paper was found nothing better than some rubbish so arranged as to look like the original parcel. The Bank and Post Office authorities were communicated with and enquiries set on foot which re- sulted in the arrest of a Bank attache named Guy who had the handling of the money.

PRESENTATION.—A party of friends from the Bonshaw and DeSable section lately waited upon their pastor, the Rey. A. McLean, at the Manse, Hampton, and pre- sented him with a very valuable buffalo robe, and the balance of their contribution in money. Most of them took baskets with them, and appeared bent upon having a good time. After erjoying an excellent tea, the evening was spent in a very pleas- ant way, including music, both vocal and instrumental. The friends of the Tryon and OCrapaud sections also made a donation visit to the Manse recently. For these tokens of kindness and appreciation of his labors among them as their pastor, Mr. McLean returns his hearty thanks.
