Monument to Hon. J. C. Pope.

Ir is very pleasing to learn that steps are being taken towards the erection cf a suitable monument over the grave of the late Hov. James C. Pope, as a public tribute to his memory and in recogniticn of his great political services for this Island. The Hon F. Brecken, Hon. W. W. Sullivan, John [ngs, Esq., A. MeNeill, Esq., aud other gentlemen are actively promoting the movement, and in the course of a few days subscription lists will be opened at Tur Examiner office, the Herraxp office, the store of S. W. Crabbe, T. L. Chappelle, and other places in Charlottetown, Summerside aud elsewhere. In order that the sub- scriptions may be as general as_ possible, no greater sum than one dollar will be teken from any one person. We feel sure that not only his political sup- porters, but mex of ail parties and classes, who admired the man and now enjoy the fruits of his labors will contribute towards a lasting memorial in honor of Mr. Pope.

Sir John’s Indian Policy.

SPEAKING in the House of Commons on the 10th inst., Sir John Macdonald said :-—

** My hon, friend from Northumberland (Mr. Mitchell) says the Government has

come down with an Indian policy. We have no new Indian poticy at all. The

policy that existed at the time the hon. gentleman was my colleague exists now. It is simply this: To observe good faith towards the Indians, to treat them kindly, and to treat them firmly. If there has been a fault at all in the administration — Ido not speak of the present administra- tion but of all administrations—it is that we have been rather over-indulgent to the Indians. But whatcan wedo! We cannot,as Christians, and as men with hearts in our bosoms, allow the vagabond Indian, the pauper Indian, to die before us. Some of those Indiaus—and it is a peculiarity of their nature—will hang around the stations and will actually allow themselves to die, in the hope that just before the breath leaves their body they will receive some susten- ance from the public stores. That susten- ance has been given, It has been given very parsimoniously. Men have brought themselves down to the starvation p»iut,be- lieving that we would not allow them to die. Well, what are we to do with those Indians! The reserves they now held are given them by treaty. They are their property; we cannot deprive them of those reserves without another treaty. If it has

~The Northwest Mounted Police Force is be increased to a thousand men aud horses.

—Thbe correspondent of the Times near Herat writes that the delay in the delimitation of the Afghan frontier is eausing excitement and suspicion among the Afghans and Turcomans. The former still coatinue to prepare for war. The boundary commission is proceeding with its explorations and are meeting with good will and civility everywhere.

—The Montreal Gazette says : The Finauce Minister hag suffered severely in the past few months from his aliment, but there is reason to believe that the cause of the trouble has been removed and that he will now enjoy vigorous health for sometime to come. The pro- spect of Sir Leonard Tilley continuing in office is a source of no ordinary satistac- tion, since, next to the Premier himself, he conspicuously possesses the qualifi- cations of a capable administrator, and is esteemed not less by his political oppon- ents than by his party friends.

—Referring to Gen. Middleton’s action in dropping further pursuit of Big Bear, the Philadelphia 7%mes rises to re- mark: “As far es any results are cou- cerned, the United States forces might as well do the same in their campaign against the murdering Apaches, for the latter continue to kill and steal, easily avoiding the soldiers. The only case in which they have come in contact with any of the letter, wasthat of a small detachment of the Fourth Cavalry under Capt. Lawton, in which they killed five of the soldiers and captured the supply train. It is very humiliating to be com- pelled to admit that a handful of these murderous redskins are more than a match for the entire United States army, but up to date they seem to have had the war all their own way.”

METHODIST CHURCH.

N. B. and P. H. Island Conference OPENING.

Tue Conference assembled at 9 o'clock, under the presidency of Dr. Carman, Senior General Superintendent. On the platform were Revs. J. Read, President, R. Wilscn, Secretary, and 8. H. Rice, Journal Seere- tary. Dr. Carman read Psalm 119 from 89 to 104 verses, and Acts 15 chapter from the 6 to 29 verses. After singing of hymn, commencing, ‘‘Let him to whom we now belong,” Rev. Henry Daniel, the oldest member of the Conferences led in prayer. At the conclusion the Conference repeated the Lord’s prayer, led by Dr. Carman.

Then the Conference Preyer Meeting commenced, conducted by the President;

happened that after these reserves had been established near a railway, or another rail- way comes near them, or a white settlement comes inconyeniently near them, why, the railway complains, of course, that the Indians hbannt the stations. We cannot help that. They live on their own property, they are frce men, and we cannot help that. We canuot drive them back at the point of the bayonet. If a white settlement comes near an Indian reserva the Indians im- mediately complain. They will not do as the whites do. The whites havea whole con- tinent before tl.em, and if they choose to go near an Indian reservation it istheir busi- ness. I£f they find that an Indian passes at aii inconvenient hour of the night and walks off with some of their fowls or property, we cannot help that, we cannot drive the Indian away. Weare going to pursue the same policy that has been pur- sued upon these questions so successfully under the auspices of the British Govern- ment, and which has been continued ever since, of giving them a portivn of the country. That came policy must be carried out. There is no new policy. We cannot drive the Indians to the north of the Sas- katchewan. Why, they are too far noith now. If they had heen down along the Une of the Caaadian Pacific Railway we would not have hed so much trouble as we have had. I quite agree with the hon. member for North Norfolk (Mr. Charlton) that the forcible driving of the Indians to the north cauld not be accomplished with- out bloodshed, without breach of promise the towards the Indiens. And what would be consequence! We would collect an immense | arminy, # nation of hostile Indians to the | north of the Saskatchewan. con- tinually threatening our settlements and

, requiring something like a Chinese wall to

keep out the barbarians. There is only one way—-patience, patience, patience. We see what patiemce has done in the older Provinces. Look at the Province of Onta- rio. The Indian is still an Indian. His color is the same, but he is law-abiding, he isa peaceful man. There is no more dan- ger of leaving property in the vicinity of an Indian settlement than there is in any white settlement in the Province of Ontario. In the course of ages—it is a slow process—-they will be absorbed in the country. We must treat them, and our great grand-children, must treat them in the same way, until, in the course of ages, they are absorbed in the general popula- tion.’

These words of Sir John ought to be read, marked and inwardly digested by the leading men of Canada. To treat the Iodians, as a people, harsbly on acccunt of the recent disturbances and depredations in the Northwest, would) undoubtedly be a capital blunder—the | more culpable because we kngw the unfortunate results in the loss of men and money—of a harsh policy in the! United States. Let a few of the chief offenders be taken and punished, but let | the main body of the misguided redmen be treated in a generous and Christian spirit; avd if the Indians have just grouads for complaint let redress be} speedy and complete.

Dr. Carman then addxas91 the Con- ference: Venerable fathers and venerated brethren—before we call the roll of the Conference, I may be allowed a precious brotherly word of cre ting in the name of Oar Lord Jesus.Christ I come among you in the service of the Gospel borne hither in the tides of Divine Pro- vidence and grace, the most uvworihy of Christ’s followers, strickan this morning with marvel at the way I am led. I am here in the Providence of God to be offered in the sacrifice and service of your faith, that we may go forth more earnestly in the great work to which we are called. Stange evenis have passed over us—events that could not be covtrojled by us, and thanks be tu Ged the same spirit is causing us to feel the one towards the other as

brethren. We thank God for the great blessings shown unto the Church. With unspeakeable gladness I

speak of an abounding revival durin the year. By the joy we have in this salvation, and the power of the Holy Ghost, we bear testimony that God is leading us on from faith to faith, from height to height, of Christian enjoyment. Tue charches in the western section of the work, as you have seen and learned with gratitude to God, have been greatly quickened with a won- derful outpouring ot the spirit. With fifty dis‘ricts yet to bear from, an increase of over 10,000 members is reportel. The old- time power has not departed. The baptism of the former days has not forsaken the sons of the noble fithe:s cf olden times, Bot the vame power from Heaven comes down upon the accumu'ating

Supreme Court, Summerside. SoumMersipeE, June 16, 1885.

The first of the criminal cases on the docket for this term was tried here this morning Jane Duggan, the prisoner, was charged with having, on the 23rd Novem- ber last, set fire to the residence of Neil McKelvie, Esq. She pleaded not guilty, and was defended at her trial by Mr. Bell, of Summerside. The prisoner was a serv- ant at Mr. McKelvie’s at the time of the fire,

The evidences given by the principal wit- neses is given shortly below.

John McLeod (examined by the Attorney-General)—I stay at Mr. Mc- Kelvie’s ; have been there about a year ; am about 14 years of age. On the evening of the fire we had tea about five o'clock. Jane Dugg:n went out about six, and Mr. and M's. McKelvie went cut shortly after- wards. Mrs. McKelvie locked the kitchen docr. I was in the dining-room with the children and Miss Sharp, who was sewing there. About half-past six, I heard some- body at the kitchen door. I went out and let in the prisoner. She was angry at the door being locked. I went back to the dining-room, and about ten minutes after I weut ont to the porch for a drink of water. Annie McKelvie came immediately after me. I smelled smoke; 1 thought from burning paper. Annie McKelvie said she also smelled smoke. We asked the pris- oner, who was then in the kiichen, if she had been burning paper about the kitchen ? She said she had not and did not emell smoke, I then went outside and looked around the porch. I saw a light which I thought came from the kiichen, through a holein the wall. I soon Ciscovered that it was a fire and took water and put out the fire. Ths hole was about two and a half inches square, and was the outlet from an unused sink in the kitchen. I then went and brought Mr. McKelyie. He afterwards enlarged the hole and took therefrom charred coals and pieces of burnt paper. The girl did not help to put out the fire.

Mr. McKelvie.—I was oat at the time of the fire. A strong wind was blowing that night. When I was told of the fire I went

wickedness of the people; when there are greater baitles to fight, when there is something more dreadful than the wilder- ness, more terrific than the s!orm, even the machinations of the devil in building up his kingdom amone the increasing wealth that abounds. When God the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost come down, who can kave suflzient gratitade? Ani = you have been blest biethren. Since I came _ into these Provinces Ihave felt the same aoly thrill. But there isa broad, drcary waste between her» and Oatario. But there is the same spirit here as in the West. Thanks be to God for the success in the Kast and the West:

We meet in this Conference, and none

of us cin stand in a Methodist Oonference without gratiiude to God. How the little one has become a

thousand! Surely it was a handful of corn in the earth on the mountains, and now, glory be to God! the fruit shaketh like Lebanon. In the West we pray for the Eastern Conference. Thus we are bound together the world over. We have doc- trines of faith and of experience. The Doctor then, enumerated the doctrines of experience. There ore dectrines peculiar to us even to thisday. We have received blessings from other people. God has ren- dered other people indebted to us. He referred particularly to the witness of the spirit and the doctrine of entire sanctifica- tion.

Dr. Carman proceeded then to speak

of the Educational Institutions. He com-

| McLeod took out pieces of burned coals,

right home. I enlar.ed the sink hole, and

and scraps of a newspaper. There was a hollow in the coals as if some had been scooped ot with a shove’. There were ashes in the shove’.

Mis. McKelvie.—I was out when the fire was discovered. One of the children told me after I returned that the prison- er was collecting her clothes as if about to leave the horge. I remons- tratel with her, but she went away. No stranger could know of the sink hole Some witnesses were callei for the de- fence, who proved the previous gcod charac- ter of the girl. Mr. Bel’, in ashort address to the jury, urged that as no mctive was assigned for the deed, and no direc! evidence was given of her guilt, that the prisoner should be acquitted. The Attorney General did nt urge very strongly against the prisoner, but calmly reviewed the evidence ant pointed ont t» them their stern duty if they considered the evidence conclusive. Hon. Mr. Justice Hensley summed up. and directed the jury, if they thovght there was any reasonable doub: of the defendant’s guilt, to find a verdict of not guilty.

The jury retired at about 4.50 p. m., and returned a verdict of ‘‘ not guilty.”
