Editerial Notes.

On which the Montreal (fazette remarks: ** This difficulty has now been overcome, however. In Mr. Wiman’'s latest effort he gives Canada no voice in the matter at all. Her parliament just legalizes anything Con gress may do, and if the United States should be tempted to declare war, as the Cowrier says, Canada will have nothing to do but bow her neck to the yoke, and shoulder her share of the war taxes of her neighbor.”

--In the course of an interview with a representative of the Montreal Star, Sir George Stephens said ; *‘ 1 do not care to discuss the Disallowance question, but | do not think that the matter is so serious as the newspapers make it out. | think it would be a very good idea if the C. , R. allowed the Red River Road to be built and then made a claim against the Dowmin- ion Government for $12,000,000, But | have not yet heard the subject broached until you mentioned it,” and laughingly Sir George continued, ‘‘1 think it would be a good idea if there was any chance of our getting it, but that is not very likely.”

To the tirst draft of the Wiman com- mercial union arrangement, the Butfalo Courier offered the following objection :

The United States Government would re. nounce the rights of fixing the amount of its own revenue, of levying new and abolishing or reducing old tariff taxes, and determining the venwe I of collecting them without the concurrence of Canada. We could not nego- tiate or conclude commercial treaties with foreign nations without the co-operation of our neighbors. Perhaps we would have to obtain their consent in case we should be tempted to declare war against some foreign power, say Spain or Mexico, for the expen ti- ture made necessary by an international con- flict would inevitably affect our fiscal system. We could not lay an internal tax on any ar- ticle produced in this country unless Canada was ready tolevy a similar tax within her jurisdiction.

—In justice to Mr. Hall, lately first officer of the Vigilant, we publish his statement to a St. John Sun reporter. It ought, how- ever, to be remarked that the despatch quoted by him as the cause of his dismis- sal, never appeared in Tae Examiner. THE EX AMINgerR’s despatch stated (1) that the othcer was drugged—which is admitted ; (2) that after he was drugged, he was seen ly- ing ona pile of rubbish behind a liquor shop—and, as the officer admits that after being drugged he knew nothing of his whereabouts, the truth of this statement is not called im question ; (2) that while in this position buttons and bands were torn from his uniform,—if this statement is not true, THe ExaMINeR was misinformed by reliable persons on the spot. Tur Exam- INER'S despatch did not state that the oticer was ** denuded of his uniform” or that ‘‘the uniform was torn into shreds ;” and therefore Mr. Hall’s declaration that this statement is ‘‘ totally false,” does not cover or affect the statement made by Tur Examiver. THe Examiner's despatch did nov state that the Yankee fishermen were ** maddened with drink,” or that «‘‘a reign of terror prevailed in Souris,” or that the American’s ‘* painted the town red.” The despatch to Tue Examinex was, we be- lieve, essentially correct. Nor have. the statements contained in it been denied by

Mr. Hall.

— The Patriot quotes the Halifax Chron- icle which says ** Mr. Davies did not charge the Government with stealing $300,000 from the Treasury.” This statement is par- tially true and partially false. Mr. Davies did, in the most specific terms, charge the Government with stealing—with, ‘‘ deliber- ate theft.” He repeated the charge in ex- press terms over and over again. He said, moreover, that ‘* Nova Scotia had been bought and sold with Dominion money”; that $2,000,000 had been taken by means of Governoy General’s warrants with ‘‘ the wilful and deliberate intention of debauch- ing the electors.” That John Henry Pope, Minister of Railways,had taken the arbitra- tors in the Onderdonk claim for payment for rolling stock into a room, locked the door, seized them by the throat, forced them to withdraw the first award and to substitute another giving Mr. Onderdonk an addi- tional million of dollars,—which million had been used to promote the election of Conservative candidates. This million, with the other two millions, made three millions, which Mr. Davies said had been ‘*stolen” from the Treasury for the pur- pose of debauching the electors and bribing them to vote in the interests of the Gov- ernment. The intelligent farmers who heard Mr. Davies will not have forgotten his words ; the editor of the Patriot can hardly have done so,—and!yet we see in the Patriot an article which says that Mr. Davies did not charge the Government with ** stealing.” The statement of the Halifax Herald was perfectly correct, except that the amount Mr. Davies mentioned as hav- ing been ‘‘ stolen” by the Government was $3,000,000, not $300,000, and that no men- tion was made of Mr. Davies’ declaration that Nova Scotia had ‘‘ been bought and sold by Dominion money,” and had, there- fore, returned a large majority for the Goy- ernment.

Mr. Hutton’s Exhibition.

Mr. Huvrren and four of the pupils from the Halifax institution for the Deaf and Dumb gave a highly interesting and instructive exhibition in the Y. M. C. A. Hall last evening. Judge Hensley presided. Mr. Hutton, in opening,

explained the methods of instruction, iustrating his ‘discourse by putting the pupils through | exercises in lip-reading, sign-speaking, ete. The pupils were remarkably proficient, one virl being so far advanced as te be able to i recite the Lord's Prayer and also to speak a large number of common words, Two boys gave imitations of the shoemaker, the dentist, the doctor, the orator, ete., which were exceedingly clever, drawing forth hearty applause. The blackboard exercises were also excellent.

The exhibition was brought to a close by taking up a collection for the benefit of the institution, and according a hearty vote of thanks to the Chairman, and to Mr. Huat- ton and his pupils. Mr. Hutton certainly deserves every encouragement in his noble work. We trust that those in a position to render him assistance will not fail to do so,

Mr. Hall Explains. THE FIRST OFFICER OF THE VIGILANT SAYS HE IS THE VICTIM OF SENSATIONAL JOURNALISM,

(St. John Sun.)

A Sun reporter, yesterday, met C. H. Hall, late first officer of the tishery protec- tion cruiser Vigilant, and called his atten- tion to the statement current in the press that he had been dismissed from the Can- adian service.

Mr. Hall said it was true that he had been dismissed, but he was demanding a full investigation into the whole affair, feeling sure that when the facts of the case were laid before the department of marine, the order of dismissal would be revoked and that he would be reinstated in his former position in the service.

I believe, said Mr. Hall, that I was dis- missed in consequence of a certain despatch sent to the Charlottetown Examiner and other papers. That despatch stated, among other things, that :

Yankee fishermen were maddened with drink and took charge of Souris during the presence of an American fleet in port. A reign of terror prevailed at Souris the other night. They drugged the first officer of the cruiser Vigilant, denuded him of his uniform,

tore it in shreds, threw the officer on a heap of rubbish in the rear of the gin mill, and then | painted the town red. So far from the above being true, it is} utterly false, except the drugging. I did’ not go ashore on that day on duty, but on | liberty to attend to my own private busi- | While on shore, | only drank two | small glasses of ale, that | know of, with a| friend. It was bottled ale. As soon as [| drank these two glasses from the bottle I | felt that I had been drugged, and at once} made an effort to get back to my vessel, but

ments, or of what transpired during that! time. Ihave been told that I was carried | into a house, from which place I walked | without assistance to the Vigilant. I was! only absent from my vessel about four | hours. This fact can be verified by the commander and men cf the Vigilant. To} my mind this is full and complete evidence

that | was drugged, as no man could be in| the state [ wasin and chen recover his! senses (be in fact perfectly sober) within | that time, had he been knocked out by | strong drink.

As to the charge that | was stripped of my uniform, that it was torn in shreds, and that 1 was thrown on a heap of rubbish in rear of a gin mill, [ must emphatically pro- nounce it totally false. The commander and officers of the Vigilant know that ] was in uniform when I came on board, and that it was not injured. Then there is my uniform fo speak for itself. This charge is in keeping with the story that the Ameri- can fishermen painted the town red—for, as a matter of fact, neither individuals or property were atall molested. As there were some 800 fishermen on shore, of course there was much drinking and noise, but not one outrageous act was committed.

Mr. Hall says he is the victim of the press cerrespondent who sent out the above despatch, in which amere atom of truth was used to give color to a batch of gross falsehoods. He asks his friends in St. John and elsewhere to suspend judgment until the case is investigated by the depart- ment, confidently feeling that when the whole truth is known this blot upon his reputation will be officially removed.

Boeyeotting in Ireland.

During the course of the debate in the House of Commons a few evenings ago, Mr. Sexton denied the accuracy of the Govern- ment’s reports on the number of people boycotted. The reports produced by Bal- four-asserted that 1,700 persons in Ireland either suffered from boycotting or had been protected by the government. Balfour re- fused to produce the details of these re- ports. Official reports certified that for the whole quarter ending June there were but 15 acts of intimidation throughout the whole of Ireland. Continuing, Sexton said ifthe government would abandon ‘ the policy of whippers,” and give such inform- ation as would enable the house to sift Bal- four’s statement the Parnellites would not protract the debate. Balfour said he ad- hered to to the accuracy of his statement. Sexton alluded to the fact, that boycotting was not included in the weapons used for self protection by the Irish people in the | earlier stages of the league’s existence. LBuycotting did not perhaps exist without intimidation, but the machinery of the league is so perfected now that it was un- necessary to resort to intimidation to com- pel persons to effect the verdict of the league. Dillon declared that it was his in- tention to challenge English public opinion on the whole question of boycotting. He was confident a majority of English people condemmed the action of the government. Boycotting, as it existed in Ireland, was nothing more than peaceful exclusive deal- ing similar in character to that practised in Engiand, known as trade strikes. The vote for the office passed, 110 to 55.

Nearly 780 beds in the hospitals are occupied by scarlet fever patients, and the metropolitan asylums’ board is considering an increase in the num- ber of beds, only about 200 devoted to this disease now being vacant.

The establishment of a decimal system of coinage, which was strongly urged in England thirty-five years ago, is again under discussion in that country. The project finds much encouragement among English merchants who have extensive foreign dealings. A deputation from the London Chamber of Commerce and other similar bodies recently waited on the Chan- céllor of the Exchequer to urge upon him the desirability of the proposed reform. Mr. Goschen did not give the deputation much encouragement. He suggested that the question be further agitated, so as to make it, as far as possible, a public one. He evidently believes that in the present state of the public mind it would be im- possible to bring the House of Commons to a serious consideration of the question.

A despatch to the Boston Heralé states that the lrish arrangements for the autumn and winter are now in course of settlement, and will soon be complete. They will in- clude a campaign in Lreland, a campaign in Enyland and Seotland, and a campaign in Americ Two members of the party will visit tue United States ; two men who have never been there befere. About 10 will be engaged in Great Britain and the rest in Ireland. The conviction is widely enter- tained that the battle for home rule will be practically fought for the last time this autumn or winter, and, accordingly, the Irish and British campaigns are to be con- ducted with a vigorfor which, as yet,no par- allel exists in Englandand Scotland. Wales is already campletely won. The liberal man- agers are heartily co-operating with the Lrish, and, as a consequence, I am able to say that not a single seat now held by a Liberal-Unionist in both these countries will be left unassailed. For the rest both the Liberals and the Lrish are in the high- est spirits, and, of course, will be still more braced up to the fight if North Hants should be won by the Gladstonians. It would be useless to speculate on the result of that contest, but | may mention that the prevalent belief, both in Tory and Liberal

even. If North Hants is won, England is won for Home Rule, as it is a Tory con- stituency, which only the most sanguine could hope to capture, except after pro- longed agitation.

For the fiscal year ending 3ist March, i887, the revenue of the United Kingdom from all sources was as follows :—Customs, £19,949,000 ; excise, £26,295,000; stamps £12,030,000; Jand tax, £1,055,000; house duty, £1,895,000; property and income tax, £15,810,000; post office, £8,480,000; telegraph service, £1,870,000: crown lands, £370,000; interest on advances, £1,122,- miscellaneous, £2,771,903; total, £90,648,850. This is about $412,000,000 Canadian currency. Estimating the popu- lation of the United Kingdom at 37,000,- 000 (which is somewhat above the estimate of the Registrar General) the taxation per capita would be inthe neighborhood of $11,—which, asthe Halifax Herald re- marks, is more than double that of Canada. Yet out of that revenue the government

pays nothing for roads or bridges, and but little for education, —

services to which the Dominion di- rectly and indirectly pays back one-fifth of the total taxation levied. In the United States the combined federal and state taxa- tion is within a fraction of $7.30 a head of population, —and still the municipalities are left exclusively to look after the roads and bridges, and to provide the major portion of the railway subsidies. All things con- sidered, Canada, which runs all her federal and provincial governments on a taxation of $5.06 per head, and through the pro- vineial government pays back to the muni- cipalties large grants for common roads,and for education as well, is by all odds the lightest taxed of any of the Anglo-Saxon communities. Indeed we doubt if there is any country on the face of the globe enjoy- ing stable government, .where taxation is lighter than in Canada. If any such coun- try exists, we would like for some of our unhappy croaking contemporaries to arise and point it out.

The prohibitionists of New York State have been holding a convention at Syra- cuse. The strength of the party and the determination otf its members to have nothing to do with political intriguers have caused considerable anxiety to both Republican and Democratic wire-pullers. The United Labor agitators tried to seduce the prohibitionists into favoring their schemes, but the gray-haired farmers who formed the majority of the convention, were too wide-awake to be caught by Henry George’s land reform chaff. They are pro- hibitionists first, last and all the time, and they are determined to form no embarras- | sing alhances. Their aflinities are with the

Republicans more than with either of the other parties, bnt the Republican machine as now worked is not likely to advocate the reforms required to secure the support of the prohibitionists as a body.

A Boy Bank Robber.

The Saco and Bideford savings institution, one of the oldest and strongest savings banks in Maine, has sutiercd through an absconding clerk, frank C. McNeely, nineteen years old, who has been employed in the bank about one year, has mysteriously disappeared, taking with him thirty-tive hundred in cash, United States registered bonds payable in 1907 am- ounting to $185,000 and railroad municipal and other bonds amounting as near as can now be determined to about $91,000. Though he left town on Monday afternoon, yet the bank otticers and his family kept so quiet about it that the news did not leak out till Thursday morning. Great excitement prevails, as McNeely was considered one 6f the most trustworty young men in the city. The president, trustees, and cashi- ier placed the greatest contidence in him. He was acquainted with the combination of every lock in the bank vaults.. Cashier Melville H. Kelly on Monday afternoon went to Kenne- bunk, leaving McNeely, the clerk, to finish up the day’s accounts. When Kelly opened the bank on Tuesday morning he ou that the books were not completed and McNeely was absent. President Goodale was notified and the entire afternoon was spent in examining the contents of the safe. Considerable time had been consumed before it was discovered that the cash and bonds were missing. A large amount of gold and currency which McNeely could easily have stolen, was unmolested.
