THE ASYLUM MATTER.

Tas Patriot fights shy of this matter. It is, indeed, difficult to defend the con- duct of the Government on the grounds of truth and honesty, How it happens that the lunatic asylum, overcrowded in the present building two years ago, and still more avercrowded now, though $25,000 were borrowed to expend in the erection of An “snnex™ (and were spent for other purposes) and though a contract to that end was entered into according to the terms of which the Government had full power to goon with the work if the cen- tractor failed todo so, is hard to explain. So the Patriot calls in the aid of Mr. John Bell, of Summerside. It recommends Mr. Bell for the task, because Mr. Bell is (1) “a lawyer” and (2) an “ independent mem ber of the House,” To most persons the fact that Mr. Bellis a lawyer would be good evidence that he is able to demonstrate with the facility, when he desires to do s0,that black is white, and right wrong, or wrong right. Let us see what are Mr. Bel!’s claims to recommend~« ation as “independent member of the | House.” In the past,when overshadowed in | the Legislature by Mr. Peters,he some:imes talked against the Government; but he never had either the courage or the inde- pendence for to yote against them. When it appeared that Mr. Peters was becoming unpopular in the third district of Prince County, Mr. Bell took the stump against him and coquetted with the Patrons; but a slight change in the political situation brought Mr. Bell baek again tw his place in the Liberal team. Now he desires to be the Liberal candidate for East Prince, in order that he may gain the object of his life’s ambition, viz a & seat within the hallowed precincte of the House of Commons; and to this end is con- Strained to putina plea for our Liberal Government as against Mr. Walter Lowe. Thus, Mr. Bell instead of being “indepen- dent,” has the strongest possible motive for iateresting himself on behalf of the Govern= ment Party. But what is the value of Mr. Bell’s plea? Mr. Bell says

“The Government as to the entire work seems to have observed ite part of the agreement except where that observance was rendered impossible by Lowe. (1) They pointed out the extra work required

jo ine foundation. (2) They dia not agree on the price to be paid because Lowe

coupled his offer with conditions they conid not comply with. (3) They did not sign the estimate because Lowe

never wade out or presented one for the Signature of the Commissioner of Public Works and Architect. Then, as to the cona:tions that Lowe had to comply with, (1) he eubmutted no estimates; (2) he did

not egree On the amount to be done for the extra work before it was begun. He rendered such an agreement im possible.

(3) He did not obtain the signatures of the Commissioner of Public Works and the Architect to the estimate—for the mani. fest reason that he never made it out or dresented it,”

We are told that the worst lies cre those which contain half the truth, Mr. Be}) is guilty of the suppressio veri in this, that he leaves out of his counts (which are not at ali correctly stated) the fact that the Government bad power under the contract to go on with the work if the contractor Should fail to do so, leaves out astatement of

also the conditions under which Mr. Lowe desired the dismis- sal of the architect. So Tue Examiser and the public are on concerned: we have nothing to do with Mr Lowe. The Government is alone responsible to the peop'e,and therefore we are not constrained either to defend or an attack the contractor The bad the power, and it had borrowed the money, to build the “annex.” If Mr, Lowe were in the wrong, why did they allow himto humbug them while the poor

Montreal Witness: Spirituous and malt liquors of all kinds have been prohibited during the Soudan campaign. The military authorities did not issue the order against these beverages on any abstract meral grounds, but simply because physica’ endurance and all soldier)y qualities ar. found by experience in greater degree among those in the field who abstain from them than among those who drink. Hyen the enforcement of total abstinence under trying circumstances on those accustomed to Crink is not found to be atall a source of danger.

A Royal Explorer.

The Duke of Abruzzi, the nephew of the king of Italy, who recently ascend- ed Mount St. Elias, will start next sum- mer on an exploring expedition to the arctic regions and expects to be gone three years. He will be accompanied only by his aid-de-camp, Lieutenant Count Cagni, The preparations for the journey are now almost complete. The young prince has consulted the most competent authorities on arctic travel- ing and will shortly proceed to Norway to see Dr. Nansen. The Russian govern- ment bas promised to render whatever gid it can as far as Siberian territory is concerned.

A Carlist Ruse,

In Madrid the popularity of a promi- neht peffdnage is often gauged by the éxtent to which his portraits sell, and the government was mystified not long ago at the remarkable sale of General Weyler’s counterfeit presentment. The mystery has been explained, however, by an ingenious official who procured one of the pictures, and on applying a wet sponge to the surface found that the colors and features quickly disap- peared, and in their place were seen the heavy head, full beard and piercing eyes of Don Carlos, tue Spanish pre- tender.

An Obstinate Baritone,

In Bologna the other day a perform- ance of Puccini’s ‘‘Manon’’ was given at one of the theaters. The baritone of the cast, Bolis, it seems, had dined too copiously and was hissed by the public, to his great irritation. He stopped in his performance, turned to the audience aud cried, ‘‘Good evening!’’ and then disappeared behind the scenes. The cur- tain was dropped, and the commissaire of police went on the stage and reasoned with Signor Bolis. He remained obsti- nate, however, and passed the night in the police station.

POSTON COOKING SCHOOL.

Sik,— W.tu ow view io satisfy many en- quiries concerning the Boeton Cooking School, I take the liberty of asking you to insert this letter. A part of their plano 1s, to give courses of twelve lessons each to

classes. Another partis to give a class called “a Normal C'ase” a eix months

course in cock og, laundry work, and other principles of housekeeping. Lam a4 member of this clase.

The particular, but not exclusive, object of this class is to quality young women 1o teach in the pubiie echools,to eatisfy a requirement of the law. None are admit- ted to this clase except graduates of cel leges, or those who have passed through tLe bigh echools. A diploma is given to those who are successful in passing the required examination. Manyo{ the graduates of this class make their living by giving lectures and inetructic n through the country. Besides the above, leseous in Chemistry and Physology are given by the

teaehers. Lectures on Bacteriolegy avd Physiology, wvecessarily limited, but very practical, are given to the

class by Professors Holman and Styles of the Massachusetts Institution of Tecbnol- gy.

Iam well! pleased with the course, aud itis impossible to imagine more efficient and obliging teachers than the principal Mies Farmer, and her two assistants, Misses Willis aod Howard, Au interesting part of the course js,each member of the class is required to give demonstration lectures to the rest of the class. I would strongly recommend young womeu wl.o wish to eéupplement their ordinary academic and collegiate courses by a course of usetul knowledge, to come here.
