if squared, would scarcely contain land suflicient to bury the contestants. Itis to be regretted that such trifling disputes could not be settled outside of court.

Fort Augustus is, as you know, a very ‘good agricultural district, where all, or nearly all, the inhabitants are comfortably ,well todo, The farmers of this section ‘have good facilities for shipping produce: at ; many points on the East River.

iKel'y Mr. Peter MeNally carries a tri- iweekly wail from Fort Augustus and Web- jster’s Corner to and from Pisquid. Mr. | McNally has been in the mail service over /25 years. On the present route, which he |has had for the last six years, he has not jmissed a single trip. ! For about a mile onthe Fort Aguustus| road the oat crop was very good, consider- ing the slim crops in several other parts of the Island the last season. When asked to what they attributed a good crop in any one locality, some maintained that as far as they cou'd ascertain they thought that as the grain was sown early it was beyond the power of the blight.

The inhabitants of Fort Augustus are generally of Irish origin, an honest, thrifty, sober and intelligent class of people whose forefathers suffered untold hardships in the land of their birth. The oldest man in this section is Mr. James Heron, who is 98 years of age. This old gentleman is hale and hearty, and intends to vote again for Kelly and Ferguson.

The political’situation is unchanged here since the last election. What the people want is an honest and economical govern- ment, and that they have certainly had for the last twelve years ; so much so that it is unparalieled in the history of our Island Government. The feeble opposition which Messrs. Ferguson and Kelly will have here will only tend to enliven the contest.

On Friday evening last, a very large meeting of the independent electors of the Murray Harbor and Cardigan Districts was held in the Montague Hall, T. Annear Esq., was voted Chairman. The meeting ‘was very orderly, and the speakers each

and all received an attentive hearing. The ‘ political questions of the day were discussed without any personalities being indulged in. | The following gentlemen were nomi- ‘nated :—Hugh L. Macdonald and Cyrus ‘Shaw, Conservatives, for the Cardigan Dis- itrict; William C. White and George Bre- ‘haut, Liberals, and James Clow and Angus | McLeod, Conservatives, for the Murray | Harbor District. Of course the candidates did not object—they seldom do—but they thanked the electors forthe great honor ‘conferred on them. It is evident that they ‘will all be retwrned,—those who will not be returned tu the Legislature will evidently ‘be returned to the boson: of their families. The meeting dispersed about 12 o'clock.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

—-——g————

An Explanation.

T'o the Editor of the Patriot:

Sir,—A paragraph from the Weeldy

Patriot, republished in the Daily Patriot

of the 8th inst. is, with your comments, cal- culated to convey a wrong impression by leading your readers to understand that certain remarks I made in October Term,, 1881, in addressing a jury at St. Eleanor’s on the manner in which the various Com- missioners of Public Lands granted deeds, were intended asa personal attack on the Hon. Donald Ferguson. Mr. Ferguson had then been but a very short time in oftice, and none of the occurrences on which I based my remarks had taken place during the term he had been in the Land Office except so far as he had acted as Cuommis- sioner in connection with the case then on trial. That case was O Farrell vs. McDon- ald, and the facts of it were shortly: that O'Farrell had applied for the purchase of a piece of land on Lo

be had an interest; his application was ac- cepted; he paid his instalment and got his receipt. The then Commissioner after- wards, for some reason, sold the same land to McDonald, who got a Govern-

ment deed of it; and the question was whether that deed was good as against O'Farrell. For the plaintiff I

contended that the Commissioner, having accepted the plaintiff as purchaser and tak- en part payment, had no power to sell the land to another. The Court held that the Commissioner had no right under the cir- cuinstances to give a deed to McDonald. This deed was held to be nu'l and void. In addressing the jury, | commented on the manner in which deeds were issued from the land office, very often to persons who were not entitled to them, to the prejudice of persons who had a vested interest under the Land Purchase Act; and I remarked it seemed to me the Commissioners too often acted as if they were proprietors or owners of the Public Lands, instead of trustees under the Act. From my knowledge of the loose manner in which deeds were granted, acquired in the course of my practice, extending over a period of some eighteen years previously, I believe my comments were justified by facts. Every- body who is in the habit of examining titles knows that successive Commissioners gave hundreds of deeds to persons not entitled to them in disregard, or in ignor- ance of the provisions of the Land Pur- chase Act; and that it was a common oc- currence when a tenant died intestate, leaving children, for commissioners to grant a deed to one of the children that might apply for it, especially if he were in possession, to the exclusion of the other children. It was on grounds such as these that the facts of the case under trial, that I based my reflections on the adminis- tration of the business of the Land Office; and my remarks were not confined (as a reader of the paragraph referred to might infer from it) to what occurred in the Land Office in Mr. Ferguson's time. Indeed, as regards him, he had only then been bui a short time in the Office, and I was not aware that he was chargeable with illegaily issuing any deeds, except so far as he was concerned in giving the deed to McDonald. Wich the exception just named, everything on which 1 based my strictures on the Land Office has transpired before Mr. Ferguson became Commissioner. You will, therefore, see that my censure on the affairs of the Land Office were scarcely, if at all, appli- cable to him; whereas a reader of your paper uuacquainted with the facts, might infer from the paragraph in question and your recent comments upon it, that i had spoken of Mr. Ferguson only, and charged him personally with ‘* scandaluus, dishonest and discreditable conduct.” I did not do so, for the very good reason that the matter on which | was animadverting had occurred before Mr. Ferguson became Commis- sioner, and | wish, if possible, to prevent strictures made in the mode of doing business in the Land Office for a period anterior to Mr. Ferguson's appointment from being represented as an attack by me on him.

1 cannot at this time remember the exact language I used in expressing my disappro- bation of the manner in which some of the business ef the Land Oftice was transacted, but a person who has read and remembers Messrs. Cundall and Shank’s report on the affairs Gf that Department, would not likely

contend that the terms, with which you.

head your article of the 8th inst., was any too strong.

In connection with the case of O'Farrell and McDonald, | ought to mention that O'Farrell had paid his instalment and that the land on which he made the payment was aftewards a'lotted tu McDonald before Mr. Fergusen became Comm'ssioner. Mr. Ferguson, after his appointment, executed

the deed to MeDonald. His reply to my:

objection was, in substance, that he had taken legal advice, and was instructed that his proper course was to carry out his pre- decessors arrangement and leave the parties to assert their respective rights at law. Yours &c., M. McLegop. Ch’town, Jan. 18, 1890.

Fishery Protection.

Srr,—-In the Damry Examinex of the

27th ult, I notice a report of a fishery meet- ,

ing at Fairfield, King’s Co. The object of the

mecting does not appear to be an endeavor.

to protect the fishery, but to have a slap at those who are pursuing a perfectly legiti- mate means of fishing mackerel, viz., gill netting; and to stop those terrible foreign- ers (Nova Scotians) from catching a share of the fish that pass our coast. If the meeting had been sincere, they would not have placed the destruction of our fisheries

to gill nets, but to where it belongs, viz., |

purse seining. Every fisherman who has used a purse seine knows that it is the sole uze of the depletion gf our fisheries, and

é atatattes use Ff both nets ard

t 16, in which he alleged |

Srxetu Corizs Two Cents

VOL. 25.—NO. 40

eines bears this out. The only wonder is that it has held outsolong. I have seen in one afternoon, within ten miles of where J write, more mackerel and herring thrown away dead from about a dozen seines than, I was going to say, have been caught by P. E. Islanders since, certaialy more then have ever been caught off this coast by nets.

Gill nets have been extensively used around the coasts of Nova Scotia and the Magdalen Islands, at least for twenty years, and on all that coast there was no percepti’.> faliing off in the fishing until the purse seine cume. Then, at most, three years seining have almost destroyed it. The Magdalens is vet the most valuable fishing ground in the Guif, notwithstanding that netting has been carried on there more ex- tensively than in any other part of it.

Now, Mr. Editor, I think it a mistake asking the Government to regulate this matter so as to drive the fish from our nets to the American seines outside the limits. We are well aware that a large iajority of the fishermen of the Provinces use the gill nets and that the fishing districts of Nova Scotia will be in favor of netting.

FisHERMAN. ; New London, Jan. 6, 1890. Unfair Play.

|

S1r,—At the political meeting held at Montague Bridge on Friday, the 10th inst., Mr _ White, the Liberal candidate, in speaking of the ** landslide,” attempted to lead the electors to believe that the Liberal Conservative Government have been guilty of giving away portions of land to their friends, and that a Conservative in Murray River holds a portion of the lost land. In reference to this case, Mr. Editor, the pre- sent owner of the land inherited it from his father, who held the land by what was known as a squatters title some 40 or 50 years ago. Then, Sir, in the face of these facts, what, we ask, had Mr. Ferguson to do with the land? Why, certainly nothing whatever, as every one can plainly see.

This is the style the Grit candidates are tak ng to impose on the intelligence of the electors. Before Mr. White can expect the support of our people he must learn to confine himself to the truth and not attempt to deceive the public in giving forth such false statements.

On New Year's night there was a grand entertainment and supper inthe Hall at this place, under the auspices of Rising Star Division, Sons of Temperance. The meeting was opened with prayer, after which came an address of welcome by the chairman, Wm. Ramsay, P. G. W. P. Addresses on temperance were delivered by Rev. W. P. Archibald, Wm. MeNeill Simpson and Rev. J. M. MeLeod. The in- tervals between the addresses were Gilled in with vocal and instrumental music, recita- tions and readings. The * spread,” which did credit to the ladies consisted of all the delicacies of the season. But the most noticeable feature of the entertainment, however, was the extent to which all seemed to be enjoying themselves At about 11 o’clock the meeting was dismiss- ed and all went to their homes feeling well pleased with themselves and all the world besides.

Tue fountain of perpetual youth was one of the dreams of antiquity. It has been well nigh realized in Ayer's Sarsaparilla, which eet the blood, gives vitality to all the

odily functions, and thus restores to age much of the vigor and freshness of youth.
