Tue Dairy EXAMINER. AUGUST 14, 1883 Grit Outlook | ly P f seems to be \ ry mucl troubled of té vel the } rlitie il outh in King’s The Engineer in charge ot! the survey of the piers, it seems, hired a mad who is not i Grit. to drive him round while engaged in surveying th piers in the eastern section of the County. Ti is e eyes ot the Patriot scribes Was avery prave error indeed. Wher the Grits were in power, the patronage was dispensed with a due rea d to the wishes ol their wire-| ullers. The public interest, it is true, suffered in conse-
quence ; but their party ends were served
and thus the grand aim of all good and
true ‘standard elevators” was duly ac- complished. Ny eaking ot piers brings vividly to our recollection some very fishy transactions that ‘occarred io King’s
Phere, for instance, Bay Breakwater Con- tract. Perhaps the Patriot will be able to explain huw the outer end of that work happens to be so much nearer the
during Grit misrule was the Colville
shore than wes origivally inteoded. A public meeting was beld to protest against the deflection of the work from the course indicated by the section prev iously
built, but that did not preveni the Break-
water in question from being placed in shallower water. Somebody profited by the change. We are sure the public did pot. Then as to the character of the
work itself. So badly was the woodwork put together and so little ballast was used —some of the sections, it is said
being almost entirely empty—that the very first storm which came after it was built carried the stracture away, leaving only a few stones along the bottom to mark the spot where it had stood. Of course thejshortcomings of the inspector were readily overlooked. In the estima- tion of the thoroughgoing Grit politician no Grit can do wrong, while his political opponents can never do right—not even in the selection of a man to accompany an engineer. This peculiar state of feel- ing umong the Grits, as far as we cap see, cannot be weli helped at present. We are sorry, however, that the Patriot and its Souris correspondent take such a gloomy view of the present situation. The secret of their sorrow, we imagine, lies in the fact that the loaves and fishes forthe “pairty” area long, long way off yet. The Canadian Fisheries Exhibit. THe Minister of Marine and Fisheries has returned from England, quite en- thusiastic over the prominent place taken by Canada at the Fisheries Exhibition. The Exhibition has been in every way a success, and the Canadian department has contributed largely to that success. Io everything relating to fish, and fish culture, the Dominion Exhibit was up to the level of every country represented. It contained, says the Halifax Herald. ju an interview with the Minister, amore complete and varied show of prepared specimens of fish than was made by any other country. Salmon weighing 70 aud 80 lbs. each, and a lake trout weighing 70 lbs. were specimens of a size un- dreamt of in the old country. The fish taken more than a year ago, and preserved
fresh in ice, also attracted attention, while the boneless codfish ‘*took” at sight. It was judged best to exhibit the whole Canadian contribution together,
without separating it into depariments representing the . different Provinces. attention was sought to be calied to articles of special merit, rather than that one Province should be pitted in rivalry against avother. The Londoners had the pleasure also of seeing a Cana- dian fish-hatching arrangement at work, some 50,000 fish, the eggs of which were the spring, baving been haiched before their eyes, Minister McLellan thinks that there is a grcat future open to Canadian enterprise in the article of pickled fish, the market being practically unlimited, aod an interest in this desirable product having been strongly awakened.

Iron Mining in Cape Breton.
Tue first week of this month saw the first iron ever made in Cape Breton from the native ore. It was smelted by the Syduey and Louisberg Railway Company in their furmace at the Reserve mines, the ore being obtaived from the Brook- man-Mosely Mine, North Rear of Kast Bay. The analysis shows that the quantity is of the class generally used in the manufacture of Bessemer steel. It is just such an ore as is imported to America in large quaatitities from Spain. It is plain that the cost of shipment from Spain would be much greater than from Cupe Breton, and a profitable export trade with New York, Phiiadelphia, and Baltimore is likely to arise. Not only is the quality good, but the quantity is seemingly inexhaustible. Mr. Edwin Gilpio, jr., Inspector of Mines, certifies that he has examined the exposure at East Bay, and found the ore of uniform good quality. Cape Breton has thus enormous resources of wealth—for iron is abundant at maoy other polnts—and il is possible that it may yet become an |
indust) ial and shipping centre of the ore and ita valuable products.

The fact is they did not look forward, they did not make estimates, and they did not make a proper levy. They therefore were now unable to meet the city’s requirements. Had we got | the windfall which they got from the Sti-| pendiary Magistrate we would have only | levied 1 per cent., but they levied 115, got the windfall also, and now they say | they have no funds, Councillor Murphy then spoke of the hose, and asked that it be purchased forthwith.
Covncittor Morris defied Councillor Murpby to prove that when that bill was being passed he told a story which was wrong, and repeated his former statements.
Counctttor Muxeny said that Messrs. Owen Connolly, Thomas Handrahan, and William Welsh were given to understand that the bill was only to raise sufficient to pay off the city’s debt to the Union Bank But afterwards they found out that it would raise thirty thousand dol- lars, and they went to the city represent-

shooting could not ba expected, and con- |
sequently no one was disappointed. Firing for this match was at the 400 yards range, the marksman being allowed to take any position most suitable to himself. Surgeon Creamer of No. 3 Co., 82ud Batt., headed the list, making twenty-one out of a possible twenty-five. As low a scoreasseventeen took prizes in this match, but the general aver- wwe ranged considerably below that number. The members of the Association manifested not a little interest in this the first nursery match, and with good reason. New members ought to be encouraged. Appended are the scores of yesterday's

The City Council.
The regular monthly meeting of the City Council was held last evening. Present: His Worship the Mayor, Recorder, Engineer Large, and Councillors Murphy, Crabbe, Koughan, Davy, Horne, Ladner, Douse, Tanton and Morris.
A number of accounts were ordered to be paid.
A letter was read from C. H. Wilkinson, Montreal, offering to loan the city money on favorable terms. It was laid on the table.
A letter was read from Mr.C. P. Fletcher, offering to rent the premises now occupied by the police, on Queen Street, for $125 per annum, the city to fit up the premises for a station, and he to pay the taxes. The offer was accepted.
A letter was read from Messrs. Peters, Peters & Stewart, claiming $500 damages, for injuries received by James Hennessy by falling on a defective platform. It was laid on the table.
A letter was-read from Mr. E. Needham, auctioneer, asking that Messrs. Campbell & Rayden be prevented from selling goods by auction on Queen Square. Laid on the table.
A letter (accompanied by an extract of the Fire Department Minutes) was read from Mr. A. N. Large, Chief Engineer, recommending that the tender of Mr. Wm. McKie, for constructing new hose reel, be accepted. The tender was, on motion, accepted.
Another letter (accompanied by an ex- iract, of Minutes) was read from A. N, Large, Chief Engineer, asking for the pur- chase of 1,000 feet of hose for the use of the Fire Department.
CounciLtor Morris said the Council wouki take their time to consider this matier. There were no funds, and this was owing tothe exertions made by certain gentlemen across the board at the time the bill for issuing debentures to pay off the debt was being passed, to burk the measure. fhe Council, therefore, had not the means to get the Hose.
CounciLtok Crappe denied this allega- tion. He appealed to the Mayor to prove that Councillor Morris stated, at the time the bill was being passed, that he and the Mayor were satistied, and that they got by the bill all the money they required. He then spoke of the necessity of new hose, show- ing that they were immediately required, asserting that there were sufficient funds on hand, as the Council had received a wind- fall from the Stipendiary Magistrate of $2,000, Scott Act fines collected.
Outer-Encinger Lance explained that at the recent fire over 1200 feet of hose were broken, that 700 feet were repaired, that 500 feet were irreparable, that 1,000 feet, in order to be safe at any further fires were required, and urged upon Council the necessity of purchasing them immediately.
Counci.tor Davy thought that the pur- chase Of hose was unnecessary at the pres- ent time. He understood there were suf- ficrent hose attached to each engine for present requirement.
CouncitiorR Murpity was surprised to hear Councillor Morris charge that gentle- men across the board had made efforts to burk the bill for the issue of debentures to pay off the city debt. He stated on the

atives and told them to limit the amount to fifteen thousand.
The debate was continued by Couneil- lors Tanton and Laduer.
CouncrLtor CRaBBE moved that the hose required be purchased at a cost of $1,250.
Councillors Murphy, Crabbe and Koughan appeared for the motion, and Councillors Morris, ‘Tanton, Douse,
Horne, Ladner and Davy, against it.
A letter waa read from Michael King, applying for a position on the police force.
A letter was read from Joseph Taylor, applying for the position of City Survey- or. Qn motion Mr. Taylor was appointed to fill the position.
The meeting then adjourned. i Ai aa
