BEHAVIOR IN CHURCH.
We regret to hear that the behavior of a large proportion of those who thronged St. Paul’s church on the occasion of the recent wedding was shockingly irreverent. It is chattering, moving about from one seat to Such conduct goes to show that, notwithstand- ing our free schools and many other means of instruction, a considerable proportion of

the community fails to appreciate the sacred character of a church—the hoare of God—or the solemnity of the marriage and that it lacks aa essential Christian character as well as in national hfe.

AFTER THE BATTLE.
CexRrecreD returns gave Mr. Birch, of Alberton, amajority ofeleven voice over Mr itogers, and Mr. McKinnon, of the Fourth District of King’s, a majority of two over Mr. Aitken.
Mr. John McLean, of Souris, is out ly | only six votes, not by fourteen as stated
yesterday.
The general reeult, then, is the election of five members of the Opposition in Prince County and six in King’s County. There are few persons, Liberal or Conser- vative, whodo not regret, in the interests of the Province, that the Opposi-; majority is not larger. Still it will be encouraged and strengthened by a knowledge of the fact that the pubiic opinion of the country is at its back. Mr. Peters’ majority is dependant upon less than a hundred votes obtained by those illegitimate means which are as notorious as they are despicable. iv is folly for anyone to pretend, in the light of all that is known respecting the | election, tnat Mr. Peters enjoys, political- ly, the confidence of a majority of the people of the Province. But he has won | &b Opportuniity to redeem to some extent | his position in the favor of the people, If he ehall, as he has promised, without prejudic- jog our railway claim upon the Dominion Government or compromising in any otner way our claim arising out of the nopn- fulfilment of the terms of union in respect to “continuous communication with the mainlaod,” obtain an award of from one to two millions of dellars for the @ir taxpay-rs, and if

—Winniaeg Norwester: There is no doubt that the talent Mr. Laurier imported | trom the provincial governments has | woefully failed to realize the expectations forn ed of it. The exaygerated !ocal re- putations these political pettifoggers enjov— ed have not been maintained in tie larger arena of federal politics. Matched egainst such men as Tupper and Posrer, ihey have appeared,even in the eyes of their own party, as pigm ¢~ coutending with giants, hey are pow cieeting the fate of al! over- | rated persons.

may be said to have its own local supply of lobsters. Such localities when once
schools of lobsters constantly move over extensive areas. Certain bays could be named which once abounded with lobsters, but reckless and i legs] fishing cleared them out and lob- sters from their localities have not migrat- ed into teke thew vacant places. These facts chow the necessity of continued care if we would ‘preserve the considerable source of wealth found in the lobster.
Professor Prince supplies many interesting particulars concerning the habit of this loteresting and luscious crustacean.
—Commenting upon Sir Wilfr'd Laurier’s excuse for his title, the Star, of Montreal says: Sir Wilfrid Laurier writes evidently for publication, and especially for the edification of those members of the party who believe in that democracy to which he—then plan Mr. Laurier—very recently boasted he belonged. His letter of seml-apologetic excuses is hardly called for. There are manv Canadians, it is true who are opposed to anything savoring of av aristocracy, deeining it out of place in this country, but the great majority of the people without regard to party affiliation feels that under the circumstances attend- ing the glorious occasion which the Empire has just magnificeotly celebrated, the Premier of Canada was rightfuily entitled to some Imperial distinction, and that it would have been uogracious on his pat not to accept it. To now endeavor to make it appear that its acceptance was con- sequent upon its having been conferred upon him without his knowledge or con- sent, is neither creditable to Sir Wilfrid

NOTES AND COMMENTS
—The Boston Travscript does not know whutto make ot W iltrid Lauriecr’s politics, The following is part of an editorial from yesterday’s issue of that paper: Can it be that Sir Wilfrid Laurier has been Couverted to toryism during his siteudance on the jubilee show ? Has he | eaten of the conservative feast that takes the liberal reason prisoner? It certainly looks so when we read of his censuring United States for baving manbood suffrage.

It came over the wires from @ sensation— monger in St. John. —_ Lying, seusational news gratifies a certain class ot foolish and thoughtless readers,and “sells the paper.” But when it injures the interests of other peopie it is to be d-precated.
—The Farmer reporte that within the past tortnight Mr. T J. Dillon paid out over $24,000 for cheese to @ number of the factories on the Island and the cheese bas all been sent to Great Britain. Last week Mr. Dillon was in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia looking at the cheese produced there. Heretofore, he says, only enough bas been manufactured to supply the local trade, this year they have more than they need for hone suppiy. The cheese there has, however, two feults to make it acceptable for the trade in the motherland. The cheese are too small in size and they are too soft, the latter fault being due to faulty manu- ‘facture. He says it is only by a compari: son ef the cheese manufactured on the mainland with that produced on the Island that our farmers van realize the great advantage this province received in the educational work carried on here by the agriculultural department at Ottawa for the past five or six years.
—The Goderich Signal, an Ontario Liberal paper, eays it cannot shut its eyes to the fact that there are “rotten apple” politicians in the liberal ranks today, any more than it did when it denounced the rascalities of the old tory government “in the eighteen years of corruption which pre- ceded June 23rd 1896.” Avd Le Revell, also a liberal paper, is likewise kicking In tue traces. It says; “The party discipline of the tiberals, that which would lead them to vietory, was founded on the fullow- iaz doctrine:
“ist. Lbat the liberal pariy would de+ crease, not increase expenditure.
“9nd. That the literal party shonid vot favor any private ind. vidual a: the expense of ‘he public treasury. ;

The Scott Act campaign was the only reason for delaying the notes for this col- umn. We had hoped to sourd the bugle of victory, but we have rather to confess tu defeat. The Scott Act must give place to police regulation for the city of Char- lottetown, and while alltrue temperance men aod women regret it, yet perbaps the apathy and careless indifference of some of the members of temperance societies and the churches should receive some of the credit for defeat.
It murt strike all prohibitionists as a backward movement, aud it is unfortunate in the very sight cf a coming plebiscite on probibition, that our Island, which has boasted of its prohibition tendency and strong temperance sentiments, has struck such an atitude before the Dominion and the continent which has been watch- ing us.
However, perhaps, we needed such a backset to wake us up. We may have grown too careless, and the Sons of Tem- perance may have grown flabby and weak- kneed for the want of some muscular work in the temperance cau<e.
We have rested too satixfied in our division rooms with an entertuinment of song, recitation and addrese and have forgotten there was real work todo Now we must work harder and more definitely for the destruction of this foe of our race.

(Montreal Gazett .)
The Government at Ottawais well re- paying the provincial Liberal miinisiers wuo gave its members such aid in the federal election of 1896. To help the Peters administration in Prince Edward Island, the Domition ministers gave the workers forthe local Liberal candidates wuat was practically power of dismissal over the employes of the railway owned b- the Dominion, and those who would not pledge themselves to vete for the Liberal candidates for the Legislature were dix- miseed. Tuis was, however, only one of the means used from Ottawa to assist Mr. Peters. Besides theclubtor those who were in & position to be coerced, the De- partment of Railways, under Mr. Blair, held o: t bribes for those whom it was out of the power of the party to deprive of work. Here is a sample from the Char- lottetown Patriot, the chief Liberal jour- nal ou the Islaud :—
Geo. A. Sharp, E-q., superintendent of the P. E. 1, Railway, has received in-truc- tions from the Railway Departmént at Ottawa to proceed at once with the survey of a bridge across the Bill-borough, and alto for a branch line of railway to Belfast and Murray harbor. —
Besides these worke the Superintendent has been ordered to construct a new siding at Mount Stewart, aud,as stated in yester- day’s Patriot, to have the curves on the line between Charlottetown and Summer- side straighteued.
