Success of the P. EB. Island Team. |

Tue Artillery Team of this Province, under command of Major Irving, have won a splendid success at Quebec. That they would give a good account of them selves everyone expected ; but that they would beat the picked teams of England, Halifax, St. John, Quebec, and Montreal, seemed to be “too good.” They have, however, excelled all their competitors in the “A” shift, have won the fourth prize in the **Go-as-you-please” shift, have won the second prize in the seventy-pounder gun competition, aud secured individual prizes. The team Is composed of. —

The prizes they have obtained are valuable. There is a prize of £100 stg., presented by the Queen ; but whether they have obtained the whole or only a portion of it, we are unaware. Then there is a cup and $25 presented by the Governor-General, besides $50 given by the Artillery Association—for the A shift; the fourth prize for the “ go-as you-please ” shift is $10; and the second prize in seventy-pounder competition is $50—not to speak of _ the individual prizes. But the money ob- tained is notto be mentioned in com- parison With the credit e° winning the first place in such a keen and honorable competition. Our Island Team have raised the good name dud fame of the Island Province. Persons who live in large places are apt tolook down on

small communities: but lessons like those taught at Quebec prove to the world that in littl Prince Edward

Island, at least, there are men able to excel in every sphere of manly activity. We trust that Major Irving aud bis

companions® in arms will have a rousing reception on their return to Charlottetown. icpcleniaideaaaaiaaiie meena Editoria! Notes.

—The Anti-Scoit-Act Advocate, pub- lished in Seaforth, Out., says that total abstinence makes meu “Jazy,vicious, sen- sual, and, as a consequence, fosters every species of secret immorality.” It also “destroys the peace and quietness of neighbors.”” It promotes ‘ forgeries, seductions, divorces, stealing, embezzle- meat, child-murder, extravagance, pride, lust, impiety, cant, and hypocrisy.” As moreover it “is contrary to the teachiog of the Bible, it will have a tendency to make young people iofidels and unbe- lievers, and thereby injure their im- mortal souls.” The Anti-Scott-Act Ad- vocate is not waptiog in audacity.

—The Toronto Globe remarks that: ‘It is no slight tribute to the Scott Act that every movement to effect its repeal has been unsuccessful. In Fredericton, N. B.; Queen’s County, P. E. L.; West- moreland, N. B.; and now Halton, the people who once elected to be governed by the Act have expressed approval of its operations and refused to return to the license system.” The Globe also says: “* A lurge and ever growing part of the community are beginniug to say that such half measures as license are of no use, aad that therefore prohibition pure and simple is the only thing to be sought for, and the only one likely to be successful.”

—In reply to petitions from various cantous in Switzerland asking for legis- lation agaiust the liquor traffic, the Federal Council of the Little Republic have issued a sort of manifesto in which it is stated that:—“The practice of social drinking of spirituous liquors brings a cheerful temper into society, effaces the traces of daily labor, opens the heart to other impressions, and is intimately associated with the develop- ment of public life. The public house fosters intellectual activity, and is a remedy against misavthropy, egotism, vanity, parrowness of ideas, and extrava- gance of imagination!”

—The Prince of Wales aud Mr. Gladstone lately visited the Manitoba

Farm at the Edinburgh Inter. national Forestry Exhibition. His

Royal Highness was accompanied by the Princess of Wales, Prince Edward and George, and Princesses Louise, Victoria and Maude, as well as the Marquis of Lothian and the Earl of Rosebery. He made a careful inspection of the exhibit. On leaving the grounds, His Royal Higness expressed the pleasure the party had felt in visiting the exhibit and pronounced it “very interesting indeed.” On leaviog the larm, Mr. Gladstone, expressed in the | warmest te ms the hearty thanks of Mrs, | (iladstone and himself for their reception aod forthe flowers, which they declared |

in her wo den towns. As a con- temporary rema.ks, the misery of it is that the soft impeachment contained in the following arraiguoment cannot be successfully gainsaid:—“It is well that the attention of Cavadians should con-

tions

| stantly be called to the imminent danger | from fire to which so many of their ‘towns and cities are exposed. Every now aud again disastrous losses of life and property from this cause are chron- icled. To-day it is on the shores of the Atlantic, to-morrow in the heart of Eastern Canada, and the next day away on the prairie, but the same danger seems ever present to almost all Cana- dian cities, Not one in six of these coo- flagrations but can be traced to some carelessness or reckless indifference. aud yet little or no steps are taken to remedy so great an evil. It is advocated by some that wooden erections, so numerous in the Western world, should be pro- hibited, and that even iu villages brick buildings alone should be allowed. This may or may not be practicable, but nothing should stand in the way of every possible precaution being taken, by the erection of capable waterworks, aud the organization of efficient fire brigades, as well as by other obvious meaus, to lessen the great risks that are now general in most Canadian centres of activity.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR,

Abusing Mr. Costigan.

Sir,—The following from the New Brunswick Maritime Farmer should be made known to our people, that they may see the devices resorted to by the Grits to injure the character of the most honest and fearless representative the Catholics have in the House of Commons. By giving it a place in your widely circulated paper, | hope to see it redound to the benefit of the party you so ably represent.

Yours, etc., JUSTICE,

Charlottetown, Sept. 15th, 1884.

The Fredericton, N. B, Maritime Farmer, says that ‘‘the Grit press appar- ently take delight in misrepresenting and abusing Hon, John Costigan, Minister of Inland Revenue, and the representative in the Dominion Cabinet of the Lower Prov ince Roman Catholice. They periodically start the report that Mr. Costigan is to he dismissed from the Government, the specific reason for which they always fail to aflirm, and write columns of characteristic abuse of that gentleman, although why, they neglect to state. But this is not all. During the recent session of Parlia- ment, Mr. Costigan’s enemies circulated the scandalous and untrathful report that Mr. Costigan had outraged respectability by appearing in the House of Commons in a state of intoxication. It is to the credit of the partisan journals in this Province, that nove, except the Freeman, which is but a wreck of its former self since Mr. Anglin removed to Toronto, was found equal to the occasion of spreading the report here, and of course nobody believed what the Freeman published of Mr. Costigan It is galling to such people as the Freeman pretends to represent that Mr. Costigan should occupy tha high position he does in the government, and in the confidene>, not ouly of his ec--eligionists, but of the eutire Conservative party. Mr. Costigan’s enemies may exert themselves to the utmost to decry his ability, to weaken his influence, and besmirch his character, but their puny efforts will rebound on themselves.

This continual abuse of Mr. Costigan will serve only to put new life into his friends, who, while not objecting to honest criticism of his public life, will resent the spiteful malignity that such journals as the Freeman heap upon the minister. The Trish Canadian, which representa the more intelligent and liberal-minded of our Roman Catholic friends, in a recent issue enters into a defence of Mr. Costigan, from which we briefly quote :—

“Mr. Costigan is prepared to step down and out should it be the wish of Sir Jobn Macdonald that he do 20; and when the Premier thinks the time has arrived to remove our fellow-countryman from among his colleagues, it will not be necessary to repeat the hint. John Costigan is, as the world goes, a poor man. He could ill afford to s*crifice a position that gives him emolumen: aud honor; but rather than suffer his manhood to be insulted, either by impertinent intermeddling in the affairs of his department, or injustice to the principle which he regresents in the Cabinet, he would promptly resign, and again take his seat asa private member. Mr. Costigan is too long and too favorably known by his own people to saffer in their opinion, no matter what his enemies say of him. Tie records of Parliament bear too much evi- dence of Mr, Costigan’s courage and con- sistency—of his manly, honest public career —to be affected by the pack that are now snapping at his heels, and he can well afford to treat their angry growls with silent con- tempt. ”

The Farmer has had occasion before of

commending Mr. Costigaus for his candor

and uprightness.as a public man; to admire

his ability and devoted services to his Pro-

uince, and to defend him from the rascally

attacks that have been made upon him by | those who seek his political destruction,and so long as that gentleman deserves and oc- | cupies the place he now holds in the esteem | and confidence of the people of New Bruns. | wick and Canada, the Farmer will be found | ready to support and commend him, regard- | less of the political party to which he may

be allied.

The Scott Act Election. Six,— From some of our pulpits yesterday, | allusion was made to the coming Scott Act | election. When the churches move, we

have little fear as to tha result of the eon- | test. One reverend gentleman, in the! course of his sermon said: ‘‘It is cause for | thankfulness that with us this traffic is in viola ion not only of divine, but also human law. May the time never come, when, in any part of our loved Island home, the broad seal of the Dominion, shall sanction and protect and make respeciable the rum

shop.” Ovr ayv Ovrer.

THE ARTILLERY COMPETITION

Triumph of the island Team.

pee

THEY WIN THE “A” SHIFT,

ee

Ara Second in the Forty-Founder Competit on.

Fourth in the Co-As-You- Piease. And Obtain Seven Individual Prizes.

ihe Honors Carried Off by the Maritime Provinces.

The following despatch was received en

Saturday evening, but too late for insertion: QvueBec, Sept. 13,

The Island won the shift, and are fourth in the ‘‘go-as-you-please.” They ave also second in the forty-pounder competition, and have obtained seven individual prizes !

The St. John Telegraph's Quebec despatch of Saturday is as follows : ‘‘In the shifting ordnance competition to-day, the Montreal Garrison Artillery, under command of Captain Laurie, beat all previous competi- tors in the ‘*B,”’ or go as you please shift, which they accomplished in 8min., JOsec. | A few seconds will probably be added to (that on account of their knocking down a |picket, but it will not materially change the score. Their record, for the ‘*A” shift was 7min., 38sec.

The New Brunswick team, which fol- lowed, was loudly cheered on going to the gun. They are a fine body of men, physi- cally; but, though they excelled, to all appearance, in strength, they failed to come upto the mark in other respects. Their time for the ‘‘A” shift was 7m. 4sec., and for the ‘*B” shift 9m. 114see.

The last shifting competition of the meet ing was executed this afternoon by the Vrince Edward Island team. Considerable interest centred in the performance of this team, as they were reputed to be the be the best, physically and otherwise, of all the competing teams, and a large crowd of spectators was present, the excite- ment running high, and many bets being freely offered and taken on the result as the Islanders stepped tothe gun, Their appearance fully justified the high expecta- tions formed of them and they were warmly cheered. They lvoked, too, as if they felt confident of carrying off the palm. The ‘‘A” shift was perfermed by them in bm. 52sec., the best time of all for this shift, but as the captain, in his eagerness, gave anorder to fire the fuse before the gun was fully back to the skid, it is ex- pected that 8 or 10 seconds will be added to their time.

The St. John Sun gives the time made in both shifts by-all the competitors as follows :—

“A” Shift. ‘‘B” Shift

v. - wena: ss ceo ee 5 52 10.05 Ee ade ee wes 5.59 2-5 9 02 2-5 Sees, NG Bak sa os 6 09 lv 47 Eritiph. Teainy....+.i4 6.054 11.:0 Quebee, Nos. } and 2,, 6,544 1’. 11 New Brunswick....... 7.03 9 09 Montreal, Nos, 2 and 5 7.10 915 Vontreal, Nos. 3 and 4 7.38 8.39 Moutrea!, Nos. 1 and 6 8 20 12 40

It will be seen by the sbove that P. E. 1. has captured ‘*A” shift, with Halifax seec- joud, and that Halifax takes the lead in ‘HK’ shift, with our New Brunsick team second—ali three Maritime Province teams having beaten the crack British represen- tatives. Glory enough for one week ?

It is feared that the friendly tribes will be driven to cast their fortunes with the rebels, unless the Government comes to their as- sistance,
