Nothing about the Fishery Award.

Ovx observations on the bad faith which Mr. Davies has exhibited in not briuging forward a motion on the Fishery Award, according to the solemn promise made by him before the election, ruffles the temper of our amiable friead of the Patriot. When we call on Mr. Davies to perform his promises like a man, table his resolution, and test the Com- mocs upon it, Mr. Laird crys out that our ‘‘ utterances” are ** poisonous’ and that Tue Examiner is addressing itself to an “ iniquitous task.’ No doubt Mr. Davies regards any allusion to his con- nection with the Fishery Award as ** poisonous,” and we do not wonder much at it. That circumstance will not, however, prevent Tne ExAMINER from returning to the subject again and again until Mr. Davies has received from the electors of Queen's County the full reward of his promise breaking.

The Censervative members from the Island are not bound by auy promise or obligation to bring the question of the Fishery Award before the House of Commens. They brought it up io the last Llouse, and advocated the claim of Prince Edward Island with great ability. Bat the Commons, on the 8th of April, 1880, adopted a resolution decla:ing.—

** THAT PORTION OF THE FisHERY AWARD PAID OVER Ty CANADA, CONSTITUTIONALLY, AND oF RIGHT, BELONGS TO THE DoMINION oF Canaba.”’

This resolution was carried by a vote of 126 10 30, Sir John McDouald and Mr. MeKenzie standing side by side in the majority. Every honest mun who read this resolution, knew that it was a plain and emphatic rejection of the claim of Prince Edward Island. The declara- tion that all the money paid to Cauada constitutionally and of right belonged to Canada. was so plain, that it could pot be

misunderstood or misconstrued, ex-

cept by one who deliberately wished to deceive. { : the {ice af this reso ution. Mr. Davies contended that Parliament

had not passed wy opiaion adverse to the claim of this Island, and that we did not receive the mouey because our repre- sentatives bad neither the pluck nor the

ability to submit another resolution setting forth the separate and distinet

claim of Prince Edward Island. He further solemuly promised that if he were returved he would bring the matter before the Commons, where he said he wonid, in all probability, have the support of Mr. McKenzie and Mr. Blake

There is no doubt that Mr. Davies owes his seat in the Commons to the promises he made and the hopes he ex- cited on this question, for the two years previous to the last Dominion election. We knew at the time that these promises were made only to be broken. We knew that, with all his faults, Mr. MeKenzie .would act swerve from the opivion which he had decidedly expressed and acted on We knew further that Mr. Blake would not thank Mr. Davies for bringing the question up anew, as he would not be able to shirk a vote upon it a second time. We were also satisfied that if a resolution such as Mr. Davies promised to submit were brought forward, it would not, in all probability, receive the support of one member apart from the representa- tives of Prince Edward Island. In short, we knew right well that Mr. Davies was only humbugging and deceiving the elec-

abundantly verifies our opinion. session now closed. but Mr. Davies has not moved his promised reso- lution. Heading the telegrams from Ottawa in the Patriot for weeks past, the words “NOTHING FOR PreRs” have ap- peared in type of sensational dimension. We advise our contemporary, for variety’s | sake, to change the heading and adopt |

the words “Nothing about the Fishery Award.”

CLOSING EXEKCISES-—-THE PRIZE LIST.

| ‘Tne Prince of Wales College and Normal | School closed to-day with the usual ex- lexercises. Among the large number of visitors present were : The Superintendent of Education, Principal Mellish, of Prince Sireet School, Principal Miller of Kent Street School, Charles Palmer, Esq., Rev. K. Maclennan, Hon. David Laird, W. E Dawson, Ksq., A. A. McDonald, Keq., R- R. Fitzgerald. Esq., and William Rayden, sq. Many lady visitors graced the occasion with their presence, and added much to the interest of the proceedings. The exercises were commenced with ex- hil ition teachine by three of the Students; Messrs, Lane, McNeill and Brehant. These gentlemen displayed consi lerable

ability, putting their questions very aptly ind without any restraint. Mr McLeod them gave an interesting lesson in Arith

metic to the pupils attending his depart- ment, and elicited auswers very readily aud correctly. Mr. Le Page followed with a difficult lesson im Trigonometry. Professor iCaven took up the ‘*Stuart Period” in English Hutory, and gave a very interest ing lesson of this imteresting period m his usual happy manner. Agricultural Che- mistry is a new feature in the Prince of College, and we were not a liitie gratified at the ready answers of the students to Professor Andersen’s examination. The importance of this subject in an Institution like the Prince of Wales College, need not be discussed here. Professor Anderson deserves no little credit for taking it in hand and presenting it to Professor Anderson also gave a lesson in Latin taken from Livy Book Ist, 18 Chap. The Rev Mr Maclennan then examined the class and expressed himself well satisti- ed with the answers given. Professor Anderson asked a few of the students to read some selections from Shakspeare. He explained that the knowledge which the students possessed about Elocution was acquired independently of the Class Room, because they had little or no time to take up this branch as it should be taken up Mr. Curran, Miss Hunter, Miss Ramsay and Miss McNeill, all read very nicely and very correctly.

The Prizes were then distributed by Hon. David Laird in the absence of Governor Haviland. Before the presentation, how- ever, Professor Anderson, in the course of a few remarks, said that’ the number of students was too large

Obituary. We ennounce with regret to-day the death of Mr. Charles Beer. Mr. Beer was

| } }

a young man of very great promise. He | had completed with unnsual merit two |

years of the Medical course at McGill, but | duriog his third year he was struck down | by an illness of which his death is the | d rect, though slow resu't. After his first) rally he spent a winter in the Southern | States, and all that care could do was done | to bring about reovery. But the marvel | was that he held on to life so long. During | the past summer, Mr. Beer wrote out a course of five lectures in Physiology, and at Christmas he offered to deliver them to the students of the Prince of Wales College. The offer was gladly accepted, and on Wednesday morning of cach week he lectured for one hour The five lectures) expanded to eight. It is hardly necessary | to say that they weve listened to eagerly and with profit. This was almost the last work he did, but it was work well done. What he knew, he knew thoroughly. He saw at once the practical bearing of any physiological fact, and he aimed in his lectures to state clearly the fact and impress strongly its meaning and message Con cise language, apt illustrations, and an earnest theugh cheerful manner, won for him close attention and deep respect. Mr. Beer was one of the very few to whom knowledge is but the door to usefulness, and to whom usefulness is a passion. Baffled here, he is ready for service yonder.

nine months, though they had plenty of hard work to do. A good standard, he thought,of what constitutes real hard work in students, was their worn out appearance as the session draws to a close; and, on looking at the faces before him, he felt, that it was about time we had some vaca- tion. The Professor referred to the sad

acceptance and success. As regards the prizes, he said it was difficult to determine as to the relative merits of the different students; but there were three, viz: Mr. Brehaut, Miss McMurray and Miss Me- Neill, who were certainly far ahead of al! the others.

Ex-Governor Laird said that it was a satisfactory duty for him to present the prizes; but “it would be more satisfactory doubtless to the students if he would curtail his remarks as much as possi ble. He expressed himself well pleased with the day’s proceedings, thongh an ex- amination of this kind did not test real merit. He was glad to see the interest so many visitors took in the Institution which augured well for its snccess. He would like to have seen Geo. Haveland in his ness kept him away.

Rev. K. McLennan and R. R. Fitzgerald, Esq, also made a few remarks.

This cup has to be won three times in succession before it becomes the private |property of any body. Capt. D. Stewart has already taken it twice successively, and hod he succeeded in carrying it off yester- day, he would be able to retain it in his possession. Lieut. Vernon Longworth and Lieut.
