Dominion Parliament. NOTES OF THE SESSION.

— Sir Charles Tupper said recently that the examination into the subway project had been extended to a sufficient degree to enable the Government to come tu a con- clusion in the matter.

— Mr. Robertson (of King’s) has given notice that he will ask the Government whether it is the intention of the Govern- ment to repair, during the present season,

the wharves at St. Mary's Bay, Sturgeon Bay and Greek River? ~ Miss Frances Richards, whose pic-

tures at the Montreal Art exhibition were so highly commended, has been commis- sioned te paint a portrait of ex-Speaker Kirkpatrick, for the House of Commons gallery. Miss Richards is now engaged in executing the commission. The portrait promises to be one of her best.

— It is stated that the appointment of a Solicitor General will introduce the British custom of members of the cabinet. It is believed that the re-organization will trans- fer tariff matters from the finance depart- ment to the customs and trade and com- merce departments. The conjecture is that the Solicitor General may be Senator La- coste, who will lead the Senate, but this is only speculation.

—. The British Columbia, Manitoba and North-West Territories Conservative mem- bers have held a caucus and asked Mr. Van Horne to meet them with reference to the Canadian Pacific rates. The British Columbia lumbermen and fruit growers say that it costs less to send lumber and fruit from California to Manitoba via St. Paul than it does to send those articles from British Columbia to Mauitoba by the Canadian Pacitic.

— Mr. Perry has given notice that he will move for an order of the House for a return showing how many boats are owned by the Government for crossing at the capes, the number of men employed in the service during the winter of 1887,the number of trips made by said boats, the date of each trip, and the number of passengers who crossed in said boats ; also, for an order of the House for a retarn showing the names of all che parties who tendered for carrying the mails to and from the board ice at Cape Traverse, P. E. Isiand, the amount of each ten ler,and to whom the contract was given?

-The report of Sir Charles Tupper on the Canadian section of the Colonial exhi- bition is an exhaustive one. He says of the Dominion that ‘‘Her supremacy among the Colonies, evident from the ourset, be- came daily more imposingly manifest, and was freely acknowledged. Ata meeting of the Executive Commissioners for the Col- onies, held on the I4th July, Sir Francis Dilion Beil, the distinguished representa- tive of New Zealand, described the Cana- dian courts as ‘by far the most varied and splendid.’ This frank avowal from the antipodes only expressed the opinion of the world here assembled. The benefits we must reap from our efferts. of this year may nv doubt be measured by the surprise ani adiairation our achievements have gained.” It was not surprising, when the opening of the exhibition dis- playe:l Canada’s achievements in every de- partment of civilization in such a manner as to astonish many even of our®wn peo-

ple; when she asserted, not in words, but in visible deeds, her position as the foremost of the dependen-

cies of Great Britain ; that the enthusiasm and interest of Great Britain were pro- foundiy excited ; that the revelation of the worth of their possessions in British North America came .upon them as something splendid and unsuspected. The total ex- penditure upon the Canadian section was £24,171, of which £9,134 was for installa- tion, including decurations and trophies, £2,055 for dismantling, £2,874 for freight, and £4,377 for staff.

Uncle Sam

ADMITTING THE CORRECTNESS OF CANADA'S PETITION, TOUCHING HER INSHORE FISH- ERY RIGHTS.

The Department of State at Washington is carefully cousidering the question of the jurisdic:ion of the United States over tie Alaskan fur seal fisheries. The United States laws uader which certain British Columbian vessels were seized by the revenue cutter Cor- win last season, are more than 20 years old, and the question of conflict between them and the law of nations is peculiarly knotty and difficult of settlement. The fact that this question has been raised, strengthens the de- prtment of state in the determination to con- tinue to pursue the course it has so far fol- lowed in negotiations with Great Britain con. cerning the Canadian fisheries. The vast Alaskan fisheries are thought by the Ameri- cans to be quite as important as are the Cana- diac inshore fisheries, and the state depart. ment is necéssarily obliged to shape its con- struction of laws and treaties as to preserve the right of the United States tothe exclu- sive enjoyment of the Aliskan fisheries, while maintaining the treaty rights of our fishermen in North American waters. It is held there cannot be two constructions of law, and any position assumed by the department must apply equaliy to the Atlaatic and Pacitic waters.

THE DAILY EXAMIN

Loss of the Sloop Rambler.

AN ISLANDERS CLOSE CALL,

Last Sunday morning, as Capt. Gage, of the tug Dunald, was proceeding to sea, he sighted the sloop Rambler drifting out with noone on board, she having parted her moorings during the night. The tug suc- cveded.in putting a man .on the sloop, but did not geta line fast at that time, it being very rough anda strong current run- ning out. After considerable difficulty the tug succeeded in getting a line fast to the sloop, but by this time she had drifted down into shoal water inside Peacock Spit, where it was very rough and breaking badly. As the tug tightened the line a breaker struck the sloop, causing her to take a large quantity of water. Shortly after she filled and sank, going down stern first, where she rested, her stern .on the bottom, her bow being about five or six feet above water. Mike McCarron, the man who was on the sloop at this time, got astride of the stem and held on until the tug got near enough to throw him ‘a hea + ing line, which he made fast around his body and jumped off, being pulled aboard the tug in a half-drowned condition, alinost dead, as every sea bruke over him as he held to the stem of the plunger. As the tug wasin shoal water and could do no more, she steamed to sea. The sloop was the property of P. J. MeGowan & Sons, of Chinook, from which point she broke loose. She was a fast sailer and a great favorite with the public. The loss will prove a serious one to her owners at this season of the year. The loss is estimated at $1,500, with no inmsurance.— Astoria (Vregon) Transcript, April 1c,

Shines itil iat Sat tise The Well Business.

Mr. James McDonatp, of the Customs, has received the following letter from Mr. B. F. Smith, contractor for artesian and driven wells:—

“There are but few towns and villages where it is not practicable to obtain a good supply of water, by the driven or artesian well system, It depends very much upon the nature of the soil and rock, as to the supply as well as the cost, and the water invariably is better than can be pro- cured in any other way, forthe reason tiatif a pipe is driven say, 75 or 100 feet, the water all comes in at the lower end, and there is no chance for surface dramacze (o cetin.

The Pope oa Lntemperance.

The following is a translation of the important Papal Brief in favor of the total

abstinence movement addressed to the Right Rev. Dr. Ireland,’ Bishop of St. Paul, Minn., United States :—‘* fu Our

Venerable Brother, John Ireland, Bishop of St. Paul, Minn., Leo XIII., Pope Venerable Brother, Health aud Apostolic Benediction. The admirable works of piety and charity, by which Our faithful chiidren in the United States labor to pro- mote not only their own temporal and

eternal welfare, but also that of their fellow

citizens, and which you have recently related to us, give to us exceeding great consolation. And above all, we have rejoiced to learn with what energy and zeal by means of various excellent associations, and especially through the Catholic Total Abstinence Union, you combat the destructive vice of intemperance. For it is well known to us how ruinous, how de- plorable, is the injury both to faith and to morals, that is to be feared from intemper- ance in drink. Nor can We sufficiently praise the prelates of the United States, who recently in the Plenary Council of Baltimore with weightiest words condemn- ed this abuse, declaring it to be a perpetual incentive to sin, and afruitful root of all evils, plunging the families of the intem- perate into direst ruin, and drawing num- berless souls down to everlasting perdition, declaring, moreover, that the faithful who yield to this vice of imtemperance becoine thereby a scandal to non-Catholics, and a great hindrance to the propagation of the true religion.

Hence, We esteem worthy of all commen- dation the noble resolve of your pious as- sociations, by which they pledge themsel- ves to abstain totally from every kind of

intoxicating drink. Nor can it at all be doubted that this determination is the

proper and the truly etticacious remedy for this very great evil; and that so much the more strongly will all be induced to put this bridle upon appetite, by how much the greater are the dignity and influence ‘ of those who give the example. But greatest vf all in this matter should be> thie zeal of priests, who, as they are called to instruct the peuple in, the word of life, and to mould them to Christain morality, should also; and above.aH,: walk “before them in the practice of virtue. Let pastors therefore do their best to drive the plague of intem- perance from the fold of Christ, by assid- uous preaching and exhortation, and to shine before al! as molels of abstinence, that 8 the many calamities with which this vice threatens both Church and State, may, by their strenuous endeavors, be averted. _ And We most sincerely beseech Almighty God that, inthis important matter, He may graciously favor your desires, direct your counsels, and assist your endeavors ; and asa pledge of the Divine protection, and a testimony oi Our paternal atfection; We most lovingly bestow apon you, vener- ab'e brother, and upen all your associates in this holy league, the Apostolic Benedic- flon.

Given at Rome, from St. Peter’s, this 27th day of March, in the year 1887, the tenth year of Our Pontiticate.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

-

The Potato Trade. Sir,—In an editorial in your issue of Saturday, calling attention to the scarcity

of potatoes in Ontario, and the possibility of finding a ready outlet there for our sur- plus, you seem to labor under the mpres- sion that P. E. Island could supply all they require, if we only had direct and ready access to that market.

In order that your readers and farmers may not be misled, it is well that they should know that our McIntyre’s and other blue potatoes are not liked in Ontario and will not sell for seed or consumption.

I shipped several carloads to Toronto two years ago on account of a firm there, and the McIntyre’s, after being on hand a long time, had to be sold, at a heavy loss, while the Hebrons, Burbanks and Early Roses realized a fair profit.

So long as our farmers continue to grow Melntyres and similar varieties of pota- toes, they will continue to labor under a disadvantage in selling them. It is true a certain quantity of them are occasionally used in the States, when their own get scarce, but always at lower prices than other kinds. Let them examine any price current issued in Boston, New York or Philadelphia, and they will see Chenangus always quoted at the lowest price and at the foot of the list.

The American, Ontario and West Indian markets all require best varieties, such as Early Rose, Peerless, White Star, Hebrons, and Burbanks, and if our farmers want to be in a position to avail themselves of any deimand that may arise from ime to time, and to obtain better prices, they should make it a point to grow suitable varieties, and to cull them and ship them in _ better order.

Recent enquiries made in the country show that there are no such varieties now available for shipment.

Yours &e., F. T. Newsery. inteasitsdiglaall hitlint A False Report Corrected.

Srr,—In the account of Mrs. Ryckman, of Lambton, Ont., who has been arrested on a charge of causing the death of a large number of her relatives and friends for the purpose of giin, you say toat she was a member of the Methodist Church, and in a telegram referring to the matter, published in your issue of the 23rd ult., the statement is repeated. In neither instance can any blame be attached to you, for you are not responsible for the accu- racy of all that you publish, I am happy, however, tostate, on the authority of the Rev. J. B. Kennedy, who is minister of Shed-

that she is not and has not been for many years a member of the Methodist Church. 1a simple justice to the members and adherents of the Me hodist Church onthe Island and elsewhere among your readers, you will, | kuow, have pleasure in giving publicity to the above, and by so doing, oblige, Yours sincerely, GeorGE STEEL. ee

The Temperance Question.

License Bill before the House ot Assembly, and was quite pleased with their general tenor. You did not go into the merits of the question of High License or Scott Act, but merely advised the propriety of having some law on the statute in view of the defeat of the Act, now said to be in force in this city. The impression has gone abroad that the Scott Act must go. For my part I think it a great pity it was not

ask space in your columns to discuss the matter somewhat at length. I am all the more anxious tohave my say now, as

secure the passage of an act modelled after the opinions of a certain class of temperance

enacted previous to the adoption of what is known as the Scott Act has brought such

The Government must be on their guard against such ill-advised zealots. It is their bounden duty to bring forward a stringent measure, protecting the public against the present lamentable condition of affairs. In August we hope to see the last of the Scott Act, which has been a curse to Charlotte- town, and from the eifects of which we will not rise in a moment. We have had

lengthy trial ot the mesure, and our experience, although dearly boughten, may

fnture. Let us now lend our influence to the passing of a High License law, restrict- ing the tratlic in spirituous liquors to a small number of responsible persons, (say eight or ten houses of entertamment, and five or six saloons) to whom any breach of restriction would be traceable and the trafic thus rendered controlable. From such a measure we will, as well as putting the business as well under command as it can be, create a large revenue, which for the past years has been lost to us, while the traffic, instead of being confined to ten houses, has spread until the astonishing number of two hundred and forty grogeries can be pointed out within the precincts of the city.

With this increase in the number of groggeries, the abuse of the sale of grog bas increased. The Scott Act has been a failure all along the line ; and it is now the duty of every common-sense temperance man to vote to have it repealed. This is no empty assertion. Let me give afew reasons ior making it:

The Scott Act is a failure in theory and practice. It has failed in its object because it has aimed at taking away from the in- dividual a right which he holds sacred and God-given.- | have the same right to take a glass of grog, if L will it, as I have to take a cup of tea, and any legislation which anus at taking that right from me is ult-a-vcres—beyond the power of man to make. Legislate you may upon the sub- ject ; but just as sure as it is enacted, just su sure will it be dis Jed. And what is the facts Prohibitory measures have failed wherever they have been introduced, and will ever fail. To have true reform the subject must make a willing choice for himseli. There is-no lasting refofm to be brough? about in the matter of Temperance by Coercion. The reason is evident. Man's

is « God given faculty. God himseif Tes wae it iw ihe cawaturs to whow he ha; given it, There can by nu virtue where the will ts not at liberty to choose between go landevil, Why? Becsuse it is the

volu..tary choice of good and the rejection of evil that eunstitutes virtue, Is the use

ln

“ Thou shalt not drink liquors.” No, «th use of liquor is not{condemmed ; it is the abuse of it we have to contend against

and curtail. Here is where so many well meaning temperance men fall into error. They go beyond the

mark and lose the forces they should have exerted on the other side. They would, unmindful of man’s rights or conscience, make him a total abstainer, and, regardless of their illogical position, call this coercion virtue. But temperance is still counted in the list of virtues, although it is often a misused word. In his great Summa Theo- logica, St. Thomas of Aquino thus speaks of temperance as a virtue :—

“ As temperance disposes a man to 4 certain moderation (or means between extremes), which is in accard with reason, therefore it is avirtue. That has the nature of a virtue which inclines man to good ; it is good for man to act according to reason; temperance or moderation leads man to act according to reason ; therefore temperance is good ; there- fore itis a virtue, for virtue isa habit of good action. Nature inclines man towards that which suits him; hence .man naturally desires that pleasure which suits him ; but man, as such, is a rational being, therefore only those pleasures which accord with reason are suitable to him; temperance or modera- tioa willnot deprive man of those suitable and proper pleasures, but rather those which are sopposed toreason. Temperance is not opposed to the inclinations of human nature, but to those of bestial nature as irrational.

Go beyond these restrictions and deny the subject that to which he has a natural right, and you destroy the significance of the word ‘‘temperance,” and you also destroy your own usefulness in the cause of temperance. Let the votaries of prohibi- tion point to any one country, state or county in which prohibition has succeeded. It is always the same old story of illicit traftic. On the Island,they say, much good has been effected by the measure in the country districts. I think the liquor busi- ness was well driven out of the country districts by the local option law in force here before the Scott Act came in, so that the Act had little or nothing to do with the present happy state of affairs in these dis- tricts, and a return to the local option law would not in any respect etfect their condi- tion. But some of the over-zealous Scott

ford, where Mrs. Ryckman has been residing, |

Sir,—I have read your remarks on ‘the |

understand there is a movement on foot to_ folk whose interference with the legislation |

save us from making hasty steps in the |

Act workers go beyond all bounds in trying j|to retain that useless measure. 1 have | heard of those who threatened signers of ‘licenses with the responsibility of all the ,erimes committed on account of the sale of | liquor inthe community. ‘ You become

| guilty vf ali the sins of the liquor dealer,” say they. What — stupidity ! Why ‘not make the gunsmith responsible

for all crimes committed with guns, the | druggist for crimes committed y the use | of drugs, the cutler tor crimes committed with knives! Oh, because these crimes are the result of the abuse of these things. | Just so, as the crimes caused by liquor are ‘the result of the abuse of liquor. Let us | wage war against its abuse, and leave man ‘that which God gave him and we cannot interfere with, the use of it, if he desires it for his pleasure and goes not beyond the bounds of pleasure. Whosoever gves be- yond this is a tyrant, and tyranny is not likely to promote virtue.

i

| But the Scott Act is a failure in ‘its operation. What are the facts! Since its introduction here the liquor trafic has become more extended.

Every second house is a rum shop, and drunkenness witnessed in our streets more frequently than under the old regime. It has increased at an alarming rate vice and immorality. Our court rooms are daily the scenes of the most shocking desregard for law and order, and the terrible sin of ver- jury has so often been committed in them on the occasion of Scott Act prosecutions, that it is a wonder that the vengeance of | God is not poured out upon us in some terrible scourge. The offender under the Act is not an Offender inthe eyes of the people; and thus a disrespect of the law in one case engenders disrespect for law in ‘general. By driving the traffic into dis- reputable places and quarters where the ‘unwary would never expect to be con- fronted by such a temptation, it has lured hundreds of our young men to destruction who would never have enter- -ed a licensed rum shop. These and many | other effects of alike nature should satisfy

r

{the public that we want some other mea- | sure.

Temperance reform can only be brought

j about, in my opinion, by methods of per 'suasion,by appeals to reason,and by prayer. | Moderate legislation may prevent or lessen the evils of the traitic, provided such legis- lation does not intertere with men’s natural rights, and provided we are not prohibived thereby from the indulgence of any reason- able pleasure. Any human law,made more stringent than the divine law is not likely to last long, or operate successfully. We should therefore select as our choice in this as in al] other matters, the virtuous medi- um as likely to be the most productive of good, Trug TEMPERANCE.
