The Philadelphia Re submits the other side of the fisheries question from the point of view of the peo

A
Military Concert.
NorwiTHsTANDING the very disagreeable |
audience was even-

swords and bayonets. ‘Taking it as a whole the programme was a very good one, and was well carried out. Two objectionable
| features however were Wisible, the absence ‘of a chairman and the presence of encores.
The first number was an overture by the
‘* Fearing lest the President of the United States shoald failin his bounden duty to defend the honor and interests of the coun try under the Reprisals Act against Can ida,
the Gloucester owners of fishing vessels have given him some imstructions on the subject In the communication of the American Fisheries Union to President
Cleveland these men of Gloucester in cormed him that, in their judgment, the retaliatory act of Congress would be sufli- ciently executed by confining its operation to prohibiting Canadian-caught fish from entry into the ports of the United States Che object of the instigators and authors otf the Repris uls Act has been confessed at last. itis to keep Canadian fish out of American markets, and, therefore, to make this necessary of living dear to American consumers. This is what was meant by Senator Frye, of Maine, and the other mackerel statesmen when they declaimed
so vuciferously in Congress about the duty of lefending the country’s honor, That honor will have been amply vindicated, it appears, if the Presi- dent shall close American ports against Canadian fish, and thus give the New Engiand fish dealers a monopoly of our
market. President Cleaveland in reply to
the Gloucester owners of fishing vessels wrote that he had a different conception from theirs. of his solemn duties and
responsibilities under the retaliatory act of Congress. He expressed a hope that their
ons of unfriendly treatment of fishermen by Canadian authori- realized, and that nothing
appreat ‘ns American ties would not be
} ;
would be done to weaken the position of the Government There was a_ vein of suppressed sarcasm not unbecoming the dignity of this state paper in the suggestion that the present controversary was between
two nations, in which the interests of the Gloucester fishermen were of secondary consideration. The President conceived that his function under this act was to
maintain the rights an | honor of the Ameri- can people if unjustly assailed, and not to create in the United States an exclusive market forthe tish that the Gloucester fishermen may catch in Canadian’ waters. It was quite natural that the New England owners of fishing schooners should have a very different view of the President's duty, and should give him the benefit of their ad- vice. Our New England fellow-citizens have never lost anything by neglecting to ask for it. The President reviewed with conscious pride the course of his administration throughout this fisheries dispute with He called the writers of the letter to witness that ‘tin no ease have the rights and privileges of American fishermen been overlooked or neglected,” but that ‘‘they have sedulously insisted upon and cared for by every means within the | con- trol of the Executive branch of the Gov- ernment.” It is clear at the same time that the President is not going to lift the Executive arm of the Government to create a monopoly of the American fish market for the owners of the Gloucester fleet. Though invested with an extraordinary power in the retaliatory act of Congress, there need be no apprehension that the President will endanger the public peace or the public interests by a needless or a rash exercise of this power. The Glouces- ter fishermen have warning in the answer of President Cleveland that they cannot force his hand. If in the approaching fish- ing season they shall provoke conflicts with with the Canadian authorities im Canadian waters, in order to wrest from the Presi- dent a proclamation of non-intercourse, they will that they have reckoned without their host.”

Public opinion brands Mr. Bell as the bore of the House.
The attention of the editor of THE Examiner has been called to the letter of Mr. HU. C. Douse published in the Patriot of Monday last. The statement of Mr. Douse that a city official wrote the article in THe EXAMINER on Saturday is not. true, and Mr. Douse has no evidence of its truth. Mr. Douse should be a little more careful when making charges. Persons who bear false witness against their neighbors are sometimes ** doused.”
The Shore Drive to the Park
PurRsUANT to request, a large number of citizens met this morning at eleven o'clock in the Stipendiary Magistrate's Room, to take into consideration the construction of a drive or promynade from the foot of Kent Street around the shore to the Park.
His Worship the Mayor was called to the chair, and the meeting proceeded to busi- ness without delay.
Fenton T. Newbery, Esq., moved the fol- | lowing resolution, which was seconded by
R. R. Fitzgerald,
\rtillery Band, and was followed by selec: tions from Pinafore, by the Orchestra. Mr. C. Herman's came next with the ‘* Warrior Bold” in fine style. Messrs. Vinnicombe and Morson’s violin duet was very credit- able indeed, Mrs. Strickland’s un- avoidable absence was much regretted, as her solo was eagerly waited for. The Orchestrs's ‘“‘Norma” was, as all the Orchestra performances are, pleasing- ly and sweetly executed. Messrs. Moore and -Findley’s ‘‘ Twilight by the Sea” convinced the audience that these gentle- men, with alittle more practice, are capable of giving our citizens quite a musi- cal treat. ‘The Rev. Mr. Carruthers’ read- ings were decidedly good. He first read the ‘‘Battle of Killiecrankie,” concludiug with Mark Twain's ‘‘European Guides.” The reading was just alittle toolongforacon- cert. ‘Jessie’s Dream,” a vocal solo by Miss Minnia Palmer, was as every one ex- pected, a treat. The ‘‘Dream” was follow- ed by a violin solo from Miss McDonald, which was su well executed as to receive the applause of the whole audience. It was indeed creditable to the young girl and must have been more than satisfactory to
her instructor, Mr. Vinnicombe. Mrs. Maleolm MecLeod’s ‘‘Love’s Sweet Old Song,” with its beautiful words, is one of
those songs which seem to carry an aud- ience beyond itself. It was charmingly rendered. The cornet and clarionet duet was as usual—good. The next piece was ‘Out on the Deep,” a vocal solo by Prof. Caven. When the sound of the Professor's well known voice was heard every- thing was _ still. His very voice was expressive of ‘the deep.” Messrs, Worth and Webb came next with a cornet duet, which was fair. We would suggest, however, more practice. They should remember they are not playing in the open air when at a concert. ‘* Sing, Sweet Bird,” by Miss Newbery, was sung with a nice clear voice, and was well re- ceived. ‘* When the Pansies Come Again” was sung by Miss Earle, whvu is already one of the mest popular lady singers in Charlottetown. The last piece on the programme, ‘*Long Live Victoria "—a chorus—was much appreciated. There was, however,a want of harmony somewhere. The playing of *‘God Save the Queen” by the Artillery Band brought the Concert to a close.

Mrs. Howe's Bank.
The Boston Herd states that Mrs. Sarah E. Howe, of Woman's Bank fame, has ab- sconded with $90,000. Ever since her release on a charge of swindling she has continued the business of receiving deposits of money from women. paying commissions and exceed- ingly high interest therefor. A lady from Augusta, Me., called at Mrs. Howe's a few days ago for the purpose of collecting the interest on asumof money deposited with her. She was told by a man who came to the door that Mrs. Howe had skipped and had taken $50,000 with her. A warraht has been issued for Mrs, Howe's arrest, and the police are searching for her. ‘The name of the
Auguste lady is Missy svphts Shirtlersvn.

heard that Governor Taylor had been burn-

Trot at Pisquid Lake.
The annual club trot came of on Pisquid Lake on Friday, 18th inst., and proved to be one of the most successful and animated Flyers might be seen
remarkable speed considering the training received. Inthe three minute race there were three entries, viz. : Vernon River Belle, owned by M. McMillan, Emma, owned by J. Buchanan and Flying Yankee, owned by E. McGregor. We need hardly say that this race was easily captured by Vernon River Belle, Emma taking second place. The four-year-old race came next. It was engaged in by Island Hero, owned by J. A. McEachern, Dean Swift, jr., owned by P. MeKenna, Bashaw, owned by J. Larkin, Avondale Boy, owned by A. Forbes. This race was won by Island Hero, Dean Swift, jr. making a good second and Bashaw taking third place. Then came the free-for-all, which was the most exciting race of the day. The contest was between Fanny, owned by R. Wood; Ab, owned by T. Baldwin ; J. 1. C., owned by L. ©. Hay- den; Nelly, owned by P. McKenna; J. B., owned by H. McNeill. In this race Fanny took first place and Ab. second; J. L. C. throwing a shoe, which will account for him only taking third place. The days sport came to a close with a match race between A. Dunphy’s Scott Act and the Vernon River Belle,Scott Act coming off victorious. We may just add that at the close of this race the owner of Vernon River Belle chal- lenged the owner of Scott Act to trot an- other race, which he declined to accept. — Com.
Profitable Market for Canadian Horses.
(From the London Free Press. )
During the last twelve years England has imported from different countries, mostly in Europe, upwards of 200,000 horses, valued at about $20,000,000. This is an estimate made by a competent writer in the American Agri- culturist. Many of these were wanted for military purposes, and the requirements for such, as has been frequently pointed out in these columns, is on the increase, especially now, in the face of an European war. ‘To as- certain if Canada and the United States could
they rule in England,the British Government, through the Department of Agriculture, Ot- tawa, presided over by the Hon. John Carl- ing, sent a deputation last year to examine the horses in Canada and the West- ern States. Righty were selected in Canada quite satisfactory for military pur- poses, and on arrival in England were found to cost, with all expenses, a less price than they can be bought for there. This same journal thinks that in view of the satisfactory purchase of horses on this side of the Atlantic, commissioners will doubtless be annually sent over here to make other and more numer- ous selections, affording our farmers an eeerrer of disposing or a large number of their horses at fair prices. But in order to do this, more careful attention must be given than asual, in the selection of both parents for breeding purposes. These need not be high-priced animals, but should be sound, of good figure, and fine free action. The height may vary from 15 to 16 hands, and the weight from 1,040 to 1,200 pounds. The former will answer for cavalry and the latter for artillery, worth an average of $200 each.
Carriage horses, also, are much in demand, hut to fae those requires a superior selec- tion of parents over those for a military pur- pose. These snould be larger, so that their progeny may grow se 16} hands high, or a little more, and weigh about 1,300 pounds. They must be showy in harness and have a good knee action. Our finest formed and argest sized trotting stallions would be the best class to use on stout, nicely-shaped mares. Well-matched pairs for such parents would command, according to style 2s good- ness, say from $1,200 to $1,400, or more in very choice instances, and be a quick sale at these prices, for the demand for such in Eng- land is always greater than the supply. There is another class of horses required in consider- able number, which is almost exclusive to England and Ireland. These are called hun- ters, because used by the noblemen and gen- tlemen there for the fox-chase with hounds. The dams to breed this sort should be the choicest of medium size in the possession of farmers, while the stallion must be a stout, compact thoroughbred. Their progeny will
to $5,000 each.
At the Horse Show for Hunters at New- castle-on-Tyme, held recently by the Royal A euoS Society, five prizes of £200 each (about $5,000 in all) and a gold medal were offered for stallions suitable to get a hunting progeny ; the winners engaging to travel for service in parts of the counties of Northum- berland, Durham, Cumberland and Westmor- land. In future years, every part of the kingdom is to be visited in turn by the Royal Agricultural Society for furthering the same object. This will be attended with a consi- derable benefit to the farmers, as it will enable them to raise a very superior class of horses, suitable not only for hunting, but for the gentleman’s saddle and the service of cavalry officers, who take great pride in pos- sessing a first-rate horse for their mount, and one that can leap broad ditches, high fences, and go a fast pace when necessary in attacks and retreats all of which will add greatly to the efficiency as well asthe safety of the riders,

‘LETTERS 10 THE EDITOR.
The Salvation Army.
Srr,—-Quite a ruffie on the placid surface of Salvation Army progress is reported from the East End. It appears that the ‘*saved,”’ not satisfied with their conquests elsewhere, decided to invade the infernal
ions themselves, and therefore’ fired their first volley*in ‘‘ Hell Street’ yester- day evening, to the utter disgust of the denizens. A free fight ensued, in which the “saved” came out second best, and the by the victors. All this on Sunday evening.
Now, sir, I have no sympathy whatever with the young men who flattened out Me- Coubrey or put the life crosswise in the rank and file of the Army ; but I fail to see why something is not done to put a stop to these disgraceful parades, which desecrate the Sunday and caricature what men should hold most dear. What dis- orderly band of costumed lunatics would be permitted to disturb the peace of the city in the way this so-called Army carries on? Certainly there is nothing respectable in it or connected with it. At the most it is a source of amusement for the foolish youth in the streets, and a source of still greater evil in packing a mocking, laughing, jeer- ing crowd of loose characters in the bar- racks at night. The Army officers, from the recital of their own experiences (and half is not told), are anything but good. Their conduct in line or out of it, is any- thing but modest. They are admittedly loose fish, and are offering a rendezvous for thoughtless youngsters and old fools at night. Much evil has come of these meetings thus far, and much more will yet be experienced. Let the unbeliever keep his eye on the re- turns of illegitimate births for the year ending 3ist Dec. next.
But to come back to the East End troubles. No doubt these young fellows
will be before His Honor to-morrow for disturbing those angels of peace in ‘‘poke bonnet with ‘Salvation’ written on it.” A corner lcafer or drunk would get $2 or 8 days; a disturber of such mercenaries must needs fork out $30 or go down for a month. Surely the scales of justice are evenly balanced! Surely it is time to employ ofh- cers of the law in something better than giving protection to such characters! Sure- ly it is time for parents of any respecta- bility to awake to the terrible risk they run in allowing their children to attend such disreputable assemblies as Salvation meetings.
