THE DAILY EXAM (NER |

‘ OCTOBER 16, L891.

Crapaud Exhibition.

Tur exhibition at Crapaud was, we beo- lieve, brought about at the suggestion vf VO B. Wadman, John Moore, and other gentle- men interested in that excellent agricul-

tural part of the Province. According to

the reports, it proved to be com- pletely successful. We understand that it is the intention of the promoters

to apply next year for a Provincial grant in aid of the second Crapaud Exhibition. Heretofore exhibitions have received put- lic aid bacause they were held in this and

that County. It is hard to see how, on

the same principle, aid can be refused to exhibitions which are heid in this or that settlement or district.

particularly to Crapaud, Belfast, Murray Harbor and such other communities as are out of reach of railway communication. But a good many persons will be found to argue, on the other hand, in favor of but one exhibition each year, at which valu- able prizes, worthy the competition of all our farmers, m+y be obtained.

Uncle Thomas.

Mr. Tuomas McGrerevy's action in dis- obeying the order of the House and refus- ing to appear when ordered to give further testimony before the Privileges and Elec- tions Committee, has been variously com- mented upon. An erroneous iwpressivn prevails that Mr. McGreevy was intiuenced by a desire to save Sir Hector Langevin and his Conservative friends, and that he preferred expulsion and political martyr- dom rather than betray his friends. There is a vein of truth inthis But the friends he wished “to save were of the Con- servative @party. Mr. McGreevy’s chiet friend, as the revelations hefore the Committee proved, was Thomas Mc- Greevy himself. When he could doa good turn for Thomas he cared not what political party he served. Nominally, and in Dominion politics, McGreevy was a Con- servative. But in Quebec local politics he was a supporter of Mr. Mercier,—and for good reasons. As a railway contractor, Thomas McGreevy had large dealings with the Quebec Government, and made heavy claims which the Conservative administra- tion of that Province refused to entertain. Naturally, when Mercier and his bovodlers rode into pewer, Uncle Thomas approached them and offered to make it worth their while todo something for him. Mercier re-opened the claims which his Conserva- tive predecessor had thrown out of court, and pending settlement made a very large payment to McGreevy on account. Me- Greevy, in turn, subscribed to Mercier’s political campaign fund, and we know enough of the Mercier-Pacaud doings to understand that in proportion to the size of McGreevy’s subscriptions, would be the size of the final settlement in his favor.

The moneys which Thomas Mc(ireevy received through his brother Robert, from Larkin & Connolly’s contracts, were not used in the interest of the Conservative party, but in Mercier’s interest. It was tu avoid disclosing this that McGreevy dis- obeyed the summons of the House ; for the settlement of his claims against the Quebec Government and his reimbursement of the outlay he has already made for Mercier, depend entirely upon the latter's continu- ance in power.

"Precaution Advisable.

SMALLPox is spreading in some sections of Quebec and New Brunswick, The Sum- merside Board of Health has

Montreal each trip for the purpose of see- ing that everything is all right. We have not heard, however, that the Board of Health tor the City of Charlottetown is about taking any action in the matter,

The existing quaranting regulations pro- vide that each veasel arriving from a foreign port must be imspected by the quarantine officer before either passengers or freight vessels

are landed, and from any Canadian port where a _ contagious} Cisease exists, must be provided with a clean bill of health, which

is taken upSby the Custom House ofiicer who boards the ship as soon as she is moored. Inthe event of any sickness of a suspicious character breaking out while the ship is at sea, the captaia must remain at quarantine until the quarantine officer goes on board and gives him permission tu land.

These are very good regulations, But they are hardly sweeping enough fur the present occasion. The quarantine officer should board every steamer or craft coming from a port where smalipox exists, and make a thorough exsmination before allow- ing anyone to come ashore or any of the freight to be landed.

It is not every captain who can diagnose a case of smallpox. Besides, the preliminary symptoms of small-

pox are similar to the symptoms at a good many other diseases of a much less dangerous character.

But what about vaccination? It is not necrasary that those who were successfully operated upon at the time of the late epi- — — vaccinated now. But

A young woman, who manages a farm of 100 acres near Shelbyville, Ind., was arrested and taken to town on the affidavits of three men, and they were afraid she would kill them because suits had been instituted against her on notes that she had signed, but when the case was called not one of them dared to appear against her, and she was discharged,

One mile! Bah-h-h-h!!! Has he not wind enough for more than one mile ? Judg- ing from the display et it in his ‘‘ad” he should be good for twenty.

Mr. Smith, jr., should remember that we come of a tough breed; and thet he un- wittingly compliments us when he displays sufficient sense to exempt us, even though he does it under the guise of contempt. Our riders do not wiah for either his money or the championship, but would like to know what he ‘*do not believe in,” and why the exception when addressing ‘any or all” the *‘gentlemen bicyclists of Prince Edward Island.”
