JULY 4 , 1878.

The Local Government and Dece- minion Politics.

CHARLOTTETOWN, July 2, S758. A meeting of the Reform Electors of ore lottetown and Royalty will be held at the Atheneum, on Wednesday evening, the 3rd inst., at half-past seven o'clock, for the ga eof organizing a Central Committee or Queen's County, TO PROMOTE THE ELECTION OF THE REVORM CANDIDATES at the approaching election. The propriety of calling a County Convention to nominate two candidates for the County will be discussed. You are respectfully invited to attend. Tnuos. W. Dopp, Joun F. Roperrson, L. H. DAviss.

This ‘‘circular’ was circulated rather too indiscriminately. - The ‘‘meeting” was held last evening. What was done we neither know nor care to know. with the fact, made evident by the circular, that members of the Local Government are taking an active—indeed, a leading—part in

Our business is

a Dominion election.

No one of the many ‘principles’ of the so-called ‘‘Reform Party” has been more strenuously advocated and more clearly de- fined than that such action is wrong. It was held by Blake & Co. that the interference of members of the Dominion Government in Local elec- tions and the interference of members of the Local Government in the Dominion elections, are both alike corrupt practices. Yet we find the names ‘‘L. H. Davies” and “John F. Robertson,” —both members of a Local Government—both disciples of Me- Kenzie, Blake & Co.—appended to a cireular ‘to promote the election of the Reform Candidates in ‘‘the approaching (Dominion) election £? Messrs. Davies and Robertson, like all other members of the Reform (2) Party, are “strong in principle” — but In fact they

McKenzie,

miserably weak in practice. are very worthy members alike of the Tax- ing Combination and of the ‘Organized

- Hypocrisy.”

A correspondent asks whether we know what the Liberal-Conservative members of the Local intend to do now. Our answer is, we know not. It is, however, evident, that Messrs. Davies and Robertson care

more for the maintenance in power of the

Government

.. gentlemen who raised our taxes by two and

and a half per cent., who show deficits ag- gregating $4,800,000, who purchased the steel rails they did not want, who squan- dered $109,000 upon the Georgian Bay Branch, and $58,000 upon Fort Francis Lock, and $30,000 upon Goderich Harbor,

‘and $20,000 upon Souris Breakwater ; who “inereased the public debt by $153,000,009,

?

who sit quietly by the ‘‘ flesh pots” while the country is going to ruin, and prophecy

- good times when they get a further lease of

the “‘ flesh pots,” but say it is impossible to

- do anything now,—it is evident, we say, that Messrs. Davies and Robertson care

more for the maintenance in power of the gentlemen who have done and who do these things, than they do for either their prin- ciples or the stability of the Local Govern- ment of which they are members. How their Conservative colleagues feel, time—a short time—wil! tell our correspondent and the people of this Province.

PP

Public Meeting at Georgetown.

A puBLIC MEETING was held at George- town on Wednesday. It was addressed by the Liberal-Conservative Candidates fer King’s County, Messrs. McDonald and Muttart, and by Dr. McIntyre and Mr. The nomination of Messrs. McDonald and Muttart was almost unani- mously endorsed. Neither Dr. McIntyre or any other supporter of the Organized Hypocrisy were even proposed as candi- dates.

Joun GoopnovuGH and Patrick McKen- na, who were arrested for the robbery of

“ Hugh Connolly at the West End, on Fri-

day night last, at 12 o’clock, appeared again this morning before the Stipendiary Magis- trate for examination. Several witnesses were examined, one of whom swore that she was standing on the street, near the scene of the robbery, and, after Connolly

shouted ‘“‘murder,” three men ran by her in a southwardly direction. She identitied the three as being McKenna, Goodnough and Daniel McDonald. The last-named has not yet been arrested. McKenna and Good- nough were further remanded eight days. ——___—_<«<»—__—_—-

Tue boy Colin Pearson, who was yester- day arrested for the forgery of a one-dollar ebeck on Mr. Hugh Perkins, was examined before the Stipendiary Magistrate this morning. After hearing the evidence of Mr. Moore, Mr. Perkins and ofticer Cam- eron, he was committed to await his trial in

nished : MISS SMITHS DEPARTMENT, R pori of Re v. DPouald MeNe ill:

“Having been appointed one of the Ex aminers of the Upper Prince Street School, allow me to record my satisfaction at the pro- ficiency manifested by the pupils of this in- stitution. I have examined with special atten tion the Department under the care of Miss Annie L. Smith, and I am able to say that Miss Smith has indicated very clearly her fit- ness for the onerous duties of her position. All the classes of her Department did well, but special mention should be made of the Geometry and Latin Classes.”’

MISS MCLEOD’S DEPARTMEN?,

Mr. A. MeNeill examined this department and reports’: Order excellent, behaviour good considering the tender age of the children. Branches taught : Reading and spelling, arith. metic, drawing and singing exercises, In all the branches, knowledge is imparted on Stowe's ‘Training System. The teacher having been one of Principal Harper’s pupils, has acquired a thorough knowledge of the training system by which she so successfully conducts her classes. Her room has a gallary, which adds very materially to the success of the School.

MR. AMOS’ DEPARTMENT. Report of Hl. J. Candall and D.C. Martin:

i .

‘Considering that the teacher, Mr. Amos, has been in charge only since October last, we regard the progress made by the pupils to be on the whole satisfactory. ‘Their conduct dur- ing the examination was very good. We noted the absence of all maps.

MR. MILLAR’S DEPARTMENT, Exteact from Rev. Mr. Oshorne’s Report -

‘Reading very good; Geometry very good; Latin—juniors excellent; seniors very good.

, : 4 : ¢ 7" Euglish Grammar excellent. French good. — E. }. Hodgson, Esq., examined in English His- tory, and the answers showed great proficiency on that subject. 1 was careful in'the examina- tiou, therefore can testify that good work 1s being done ia the school.

MR. SEAMAN'S DEPARTMENT,

The Elitor of the Patriot reports :-—

“The present writer spent a very pleasant time with Mr. Seaman’s scholars, A more in telligent class of boys it would be difficult to find. Their answers showed that they had been carefully taught.”

MisS MOORE'S DEPARTMENT, Editor Eraminer :

Dear Sir,—tIn noticing the Examinatioa of the Prince Street School, you can safely speak in terms of approval of Miss Moore's class. The pupils not only possess a general know- ledge of the branches taught, but they are also complete masters of minor details. ‘The standing of her Department is excellent.

Yours, &c., A. McDonanp, Examiner.

‘*Argus” Ofice, June 28, 1878.

MR. FRANCIS CURREN’S DEPARTMENT.

Extract from report of T. G. Conroy :

I examined, on Thursday last, the depart- ment conducted by Mr. Francis Curren, in the Queen Square School. The names of 56 pupils appear on the register—33 of whom were present on the occasion. The examination, which was conducted from the books prescribed by the Government, with general qv »stions in the usual elementary branches, ~ has proved very satisfactory. The teacher, however, seems to have labored under a difficulty in not having had his class properly graded—a con- siderable number of the scholars being much more advanced than the rest. This fact must have tended to retard, materially, the progress of the class, as a whole; but, considering the circumstances, I am well satisfied with the re sult of the examination, and the general state of the school. Many of the pupils answered very intelligently, and seemed to have ac- quired a good idea of the branches taught.

MR. TILLEY.

Tue Halifax Recorder having dubbed Mr. Tilley a ‘‘second-rate man,” the Halifax Reporter retorts :—

“Mr. Tilley is ‘only a second-class man,’ ishe? Well, he occupied the position of Finance Minister in Sir John A’s Govern- ment—a position which Sir John, whose knowledge of men is proverbial, refused to Mr. Cartwright, because he believed, as time has fully proved, that Mr. Cartwright would be a failure and a muddler. The Recorder is such a good judge that to it Mr. Cartwright is ‘a heayen-born financier,” and ‘a first-class man’—while Mr. Tilley, whose budgets were models of accurate estimate, is only a ‘seccnd-class.’ The pub- lic looking at results will conclude that the organ which could rate Mr. Cartwright higher than Mr. Tilley is incapable of ar- riving at a sound conclusion in the matter. When did Mr. Tilley have the whole coun- try fling delegations by the dozen at his head, protesting against his bungling and his incapacity! When did we have, year after year, to come down and admit a de- ficit ?

“Mr. Tilley may not be a grand speaker. He may not be able to twirl round the shield a la Cartwright and present the silver side to the English capitalists and the brazen to the people of Canada. He may attempt no such flights of eloquence as that attempted by Mr. Cartwright when he de- clared that all men of highland origin be- longed to a race among which stealing was hereditary. But he has proved himself a solid, shrewd, sensible, and above all, an honest public man.”

ite has heard of another case in which the culprits managed to pur- chase the controlling interest in the stocks of a joint stock swindle, the directors of which were pursuing them; then elected a friendly Board, procured the withdrawal of the suit against themselves avd the passage of a resolution of confidence in them, That was a cute method of getting out of a dif- ficulty. Wecommend it to the notice of the Postmaster-General, in case he has never heard of it. a

The Tariff Exaction.

Statement of imports and exports in May in Canada Gazette shows that the tariff, though nominally called 17} per cent. exact- ed for that month from $4,942,000 worth of importation duties to the extent of $1,15%,- 000—nearly twenty-two per cent. of taxes on the value of goods entered for consump- tion. —Halifax Chronicle's Ottawa Dispatch.

That is to say, remarks the [teporter, that such is the injustice of the tariff that, not- withstanding many articles have only 5 per cent. and 10 per cent. duty imposed upon them, others like tobacco, ordinary sugar, ordinary tea—in fact, the things used by the masses have so much larger duty put upon them that the average of the duty is raised to 22 per cent., or four and a half per cent. more than the 174 per cent. articles pay. Yet the Chronicle declares that the present tariff should be maintained, be- cause it is a ‘square Revenue Tariff.” There is nothing square or honest about it. Senator McPherson, Senator Smith, Mr. Palmer, Mr. Pope, Mr. Rochester, Dr. Tupper, Sir John A. McDonald, and a host of Liberal Conservatives* have pointed out the grievances of the people and have averred in Mr. McPherson’s words;

“T wish [ could induce the Government to realize the necessity there is for economy, and the burden that taxation is becoming to the people who are poorer than they ever were be- fore. They are making less money, and thus are less able to pay taxes, while they are called upon to contribute more to the revenue than they ever did before.”

A Government of ‘ Deficits.”

(From the Ilalifar Beporter.)

Our Government is a Government whose chief characteristic is Deficit. It might al- most be called the Deficient Government, seeing that it is deficient statesmanship, de- ficient in reputation, deficient in political honor as well as deficient in cash. One de- ficit was sufficient for the plain, practical common sense of the English people. They judged that achange was advisable after one deficit. But we have had two for sure, and a third is in process of manufacture, so nearly completed that its size can be caleu- lated with considerable accuracy.

The people of Canada have had asplendid chance of comparing thetwo parties in their management of the public revenues and ex- penditures. They certainly have the De- ficit argument more strongly placed before them than the people of the United King- dom had in 1841, not only in the greater number, but in the greater contrast between the present and the former Government. Here are the facts :—

Total surplus under Sir John, $10, 186,200 Deficits under Mr. Mac- kenzie, 1865-6 $1,900,000 "76.7 1,460,000 ’77-S(pro’ ble) 1,500,000 — $4,860,80

Nothing could more strikingly exhibit the deficit argument than the above figures— which show that under Sir John’s Admin- istration the country found not only means sufficient to carry on the business of the country, but also to diminish the public debt by more than ten millions of dollars ; while under Mr. McKenzie’s regime the public debt ran up from less than one hun- dred millions of dollars in 1875 to 133,000,- 000 in 1877—-an enormous increase of more than thirty-three millions of dollars; and the taxes were increased by more than three inil- lions a year, and the deficits have been over four millions.

The simple statement of such overwhelm- ing proofs of incapacity ought to be suffi- cient to overturn the strongest Government —any Government—even one little sus- pected of extravagance or corruption. It one deficit made the people of England re- solve upon sending the Government of the day to the right-about, what resolution ought the people of Canada to form, with three annually recurring deficits, in the face of additional taxation amounting to over 3 millions a year, and of the increase in the public debt we have mentioned? The reso- lution we think the people ought to pass at the polls is a strong vote of want of confi- dence.

THIS DISCOVERY

is the result of a series of Scientific Experi- ments based upon the theory that ‘‘ for the successful cure of Wasting Diseases, the ner vous system must be made vigorous and healthy.”

One of the first symptoms of disease affect- ing either the Liver, Lungs, Heart, Stomach, or Genital Organs, is a loss of nervous power, This is followed by muscular relaxation, weak- ness, and emaciation of all the organs which depend for health on involuntary muscular action, the weaker suliering first.

Now, as the museles and nerves depend so much upon each other for efficient strength and action, and as the organs they control depend on both, it becomes an actual neces- sity to treat the nerves and muscles directly, in order to speedily and permanently cure diseases of the above-named organs,

The inventor, acting upon these ideas, after months of experience, during which time he had ample opportunity for trying the effect of his discovery, became convinced that no other preparation known contained so potent and direct an effect upon the nervers system as his

¥ +, Pn “ Compound syrup oi

° phospnites, and except in cases of actual organic loss, that it would restore patients suffering from those maladies.

Amonyst the diseases overcome by the use of this malady are the following :—

Chronie Constipation, ‘hronic Dyspepsia, Asthma, Chronic Bronchitis, Consumption, Chronie Diarrhcea, Chronic Laryngitis,

Melancholy,

Nervous Debility. FHLTOWS’ Compound Syrup of Hypo-

° phosphites,

The power of arresting diseases displayed by this preparation is honorably acknowledged by the medical faculty in every section where it has been introduced ; and the large sale is the best guarantee of the estimation in which it is held by the public.

This Syrup wiil cure Pulmonary Consump- tion in the first and second stages, will give great relief and prolong life on the third. 1t will cure Asthma, Bronchitis, Laryngitis, and coughs. It will cure all diseases originating from want of Muscular, Action and Nervous Force. :

Do not be deceived by remedies bearing a similar name ; no other preparation is a sub- stitute for this under ariy circumstances,
