~ DECEMBER 7. 1878.

A year and a half have rolled away ; and | the Darty Examiner still lives.

Dairy ExaMINeR is one of the ‘‘ institu-!

tions” of the Province.

An appetite for a daily paper has been | formed ;*and. judging by the increasing sales | of the Datty Examiner in the city, along |

| }

the line of railway, and in the various towns | |

throughout the Province, it is doubtful if! the pecple could live without their daily} paper.

Hard though the times and dark the pros- pect of the coming winter, it is our inten- tion to continue the publication of the DatLy Examiner, so that the popular de- mand may be supplied.

Throughout the winter we intend to sup- ply to the public, by means of the Daty Examiner, a daily telegra:u containing news of all the notable events which shall tran- spire throughout the world in this great crisis of its history.

Through the Darty Examiner the people of the Island shall—from day to day—and, independently of the Northern Light or Muttart and Irving—be informed of what is transpiring in Afghanistan, in Russia, in Germany, in the neighboring Republic, and most important of all—in the mother eountry.

We shall, if possible, send a special cor- respondent to report for the DarryY Examt- NER the Parliamentary proceedings at Ottawa, with special reference to those which most directly and most deeply inter- est the people of this Island.

The local news shall be given through the Darty Examiner promptly, truly and as full as possible.

For the large means required to carry out this work we look to the people whose wants the Darry Examiner will supply,

-|and whose varied interests we shall assidu-

ously endeavor to premote.

The original subscribers of the DatLy EXAMINER will, in the course of a few days, be called of their favors.

The beginning of another term is a good time to subscribe ; and persons who have Dairy ExamMimner would do well to subscribe now.

In connection with the Datry Exawiner the Weexty Examiner will be issued, at the unprecedentedly low subscription price of ONE DOLLAR a year—payment to be made in advance.

MBETING OF PARLIAMENT.

The Qusen’s Brief Speech—Thea | Debate in the Houss of Lords— Hiarl Granville on the HBastern

Question.

Lonpon, Dec. 5.—-Parliament was con- The Queen’s speech read in e House of Lurds was wausually short. ifer Majesty regrets that she has been com-

id an eXpedition into the territory, he has taken the earliest opportunity ‘ling Parliament together and making

of ¢a

foreign Powers are friendly, and she has every reason to believe that the arrange- ments for the pacification of Europe, made by the Treaty of Berlin, will be satisfactor- ily carried out. The estimates for the en- suing year will in due time be submitted to the Commons. She proposes that, after full deliberation upon the matters which have led her to anticipate Parliament’s usual time of meeting, and after a suitable recess, it should proceed to the considera- tion of various Measures for the public benefit, which will then be laid before it.

The Daily News publishes an authorita- tive paragraph stating that the resolution which the Opposition will introduce in the House of Coimmons will strongly censure the Governinent, but will not refuse snp- plies. Lord Hartington will probably to- night announce his intention of voting for supplies. The motion of censure will pro bably not be introduced by Hartington, but by an Independent member who has effectively discussed the question elsewhere (evidently Gladstone. )

In the House of Lords, after the address, the debate began. Earl *Granville com- plained of several omissions in the Queen’s speech, —particularly of the absence of. any mention of the war in South Africa, which is viewed with great anxiety by those best acquainted with the Colony. He did not intend to move any amendment to the address, because of the lateness of cor- respondence concerning Central Asia. It could not make any great difference to Parliament whether it met now or next Febrnary, so far as any influence it could exercise on war which has already com- menced. Nobody doubted the absolute prerogative of the Crown to make war or peace, but it is perfecily certain that the continual recurrence of sach surprises will seriously weaken the frmections of the pre- rogative. He repeated the accusation that Lord Cranbrook’s despatch misrepresented the conduct of the Gladstone Government, and that Lord Lytton’s communications to the Ameer were harsh and indiscreet.- He concluded as follows :-— ;

‘‘ However unnecessary war may have been, however mach we may be convinced that you have completely played into the hands of our great rival, we urge this House | to co-operate in the strongest manner with the House of Commons to make the most ample provisions for the sake of our gallant troops. We trust that the Government has not made fallacious estimates underrating expenditures as in the Abyssinian war.”

Lord Cranbrook, Secretary of State for India, declared that he accepted the entire responsibility for his dispatch, and would not withdraw a single sentence. He made a detailed statement in justification, and particularly pointed out that Lord Gran- ville in 1873 declined to intimate to Russia that any aggression on Afghanistan would meet with British resistance.

Earl {Grey moved in amendment to the address, expressing regret that Parliament had not been summoned as*soon as possible after war became probable.

The Duke of Somerset cordially supported the prosecution of war.

The Marguis of Salisbury repelled the nersonal charges that he had deceived Par- liament by denying there had been any change of policy towards Afghanistan. He said they were brought forward by Lora Granville to distract the country’s attention from the fact that his most attached polit- ical friends were siding with the enemies of their country.

Lord Beaconsfield criticised the attitude of the Opposition in raising personal ques- tions, and challenged them to attack di- rectly and with justice, and said that the inspection of Cyprus by his colleagues showed the island surpassed all the Gov-1 ernment’s expectations, and would soon be récognized asone of the most influential positions in the British Dominions.

He expressed the opinion that the results of the victory of General Roberts in Afghan- istan would be speedy and satisfactory. He believed the worst of the commercial depression was over, and expected that in a year the position of affairs would be very different. He added in reference to the business prospects that the recent words of the President of the United States, com- ing from such a quarter on such a subject, cannot be treated with too much considera- tion. [look forward with much confidence to the influence of American mdustry and enterprise in shortly producing more favor- able results than we can now estimate. In conclusion he said the Government were ready to meet Parliament. : The amendment moved by Earl. Gray was rejected, and the Address adopted withont division.

the intention of himself and friends not to hamper the Government in its conduct of war by any attempt to oppose the granting of supplies. He said the war having been commenced, it was necessary, for the secur. ity of India, to conduct it vigorously.

Hon. Mr. Gladstone spoke briefly, ex- pressing the hope that the House would have more information before a vote of credit was reached.

Sir Stafford Northcote, Chancellor of the Iixchequer, generally reassured Hon. Mr. Gladstone and the Marquis of Hartington as to the snbjects of which they complained were not mentioned in the Queen’s speech, particularly as to the war in South Africa and reforms in Crete and Asia Minor. He denied that the Government had purposely picked a quarrel with the Ameer or desired an extention of territory. The address was adopted by the House without division. <<4>-e

A Remarkable Official Order. THE QUESTION OF LOW-NECKED DRESSES.

TORONTO ‘* MAIL'S” ADVICE TO THE GOVERNOR GENERAL'S STAFF.

THE :

( Mail, Dec. 2. )

An advertisement in the Montreal papers furnishes the Canadian public with some grounds for reflection. At the same time, unfortunately, it affords our ‘ Republican neighbors no little material for ridicule and derision. It is by just such characteristics that an insufficient circumstance may come to attain an importance out ,of all propor- tion to its intrinsic weight. Col. Littleton, of the Governor General’s staff, appends his name to an advertisement which announces that ladies desirous of being admitted to the reception held by her Royal Highness at 9.30, p.m., on Saturday, November 30th, at the Windser Hotel, must wear low dresses, unless they present a doctor's cer- tificate of ill-health, in which case they may come with the front of the dress cut square; but in no case are they to appear in high- necked dresses. No such ukase limited the number of ladies desirous of paying their respects to the Princess at Halifax. Should Her Royal Highness ever visit Winnipeg, we venture to think the re- striction will there also be dispensed with, The fashions of life in Canada cannot be changed’ in twelve hours’ notice, and milliners cannot furnish new dresses in that limited space of time In one country it is the fashion to tatteo, in another to wear rings, through the nose, in a third full dress is a mere nominal addi-

ion to Nature’s covering of the vital organs, while elsewhere the ladies at the top of so- ciety prove their lofty rank by the number of skins they can add to their own. Cli- mate has much todo with the prevailing fashion in all latitudes; and the climate of Great Britain is as different from that of Canada as the circumstances and conditions of society in Canada are from those prevail- ing where Queen Victoria holds court. Many estimable ladies, wives of our most prominent citizens, have never shown their shoulders in a drawing-room ; and nearly all the Canadian ladies have reserved for the privacy of their own dressing rooms such exhibitions of the Luman form divine as are too often seen at evening parties in London. ‘One struggle more andI am free,” was the legend under a picture of the belle of the period dressed for a court ball at Buckingham palace; and it was not a caricature. There is something repug- nant tomany of our ladies in taking the first step to immodesty, and we hold that in all such matters immodesty is a relative term. Aman who has never before ap- peared in anything but trousers would feel no more astonished and shocked at being told he must don kilts than ladies must have been taken aback when they heard they must show to the public gaze charms hitherto reserved from man’s bold scru- tiny. Custom is a second nature, and first nature would of course know noth- ing of concealment ; but we repeat that the custom is not one to be learned at twelve hours’ notice, while the actual ab- andonment of itat Halifax, coupled with its prospective absence from the future cere- monial at Winnipeg, proves it to be one honoured in the breach or observance at pleasure. We have purposely been ex- plicit as to the hour and date of the recep- tion from which ladies in high dresses were banished. The season at Montreal on St. Andrew’s day is generally unmitigated win- ter, and our despatches inform us that the evening in question was frosty and incele- ment. For those, therefore, who never wore a low dress at a party, the experiment must have been attended with risk, and we may rest assured very many were kept away by the fell decree which appeared in the morning papers. For we would rather pass over the only condition on which the wearer of square-cut dresses were to be admitted. A doctor's certificate is too suggestive of a recent controversy in even a less delicate battle-field of women’s rights. If the ladies of Montreal, who, by-the-by, might have been politely requested to come in low dress, submitted to compliance with this unusual and, in Canada, unheard of custom, the doctors of the city must have reaped a golden harvest. The price of certificates we will not guess; but when they have been duly filed, and scheduled by the A. D. C. in waiting, we should like to see them.

And now a truce to ridicule. If from this small indication we are to gather that our new rulers mean to surround themselves

In the debate on the Address in the House of Commons, the Marquis of Hart- ington made a declaration, similar to that

of Lord Granville in the Upper House, of

with the etiquette and paraphernalia of a court, then with all respect we express the fear that a great mistake is being made. From all that has appeared in the press of
