Gats and Oatmeal.

To put a large part of the Province under vats, as Our farmers haye done in forme years will not pay, po matrer what the | sined, ior the simple reason that ily exhaust the soil, Still a cer tain quantity oats can—in the rotation

vruwn here to good advantage

But the demand for our oats has slackened

Was ave we going to do about

u lig is practically a dead in

dustry in this Province; and consequently

we have no new ships to carry them to

the home market, and no merchants to pay

for them here as much, or almost as much

as they are worth in Great Britain. Ex-

cept in the event of war we see little hope for *‘a rise” in the price oats,

What step, then, shall we take in order that we may obtain fair prices for the oats which it suits us to raise? Well, we cantake more care in preparing them for sale ; and so raise their character in the markets of the world. Unfortunately—most tn- fortunately in this respect, suffered the reputation of the Province to be lowered to such an ex- tent, that people abroad will not purchase its products, except at lower prices than are obtained by the people of other countires. We are told that merchants at Liverpeol will hardly look at a cargo of Island oats, and that while oats from New Zealand and other places are readily purchased, ours are alizost unsaleable. This ought not so tw be. We can and do raise as good oats here as are raised in any other country. But in our haste to get them off our hands, we have, in past years, shipped them when not properly cleaned; and their character went down. We are now paying the penalty of past carelessness. We cannot now sell oats in Great Britain ; and, if we desire to send vats there, we must set about retreiving the character of the Province. Only by care on the part of the farmers who sell : only by care on the part of our merchants who purchase for shipment, will this be done, Farmers should not sell and dealers should not buy oats which are not thoroughly dry, clean and ina good ‘condition for export. The adoption of this ‘honest and careful policy will, without doubt, soon be folluw- ed by the restoration of Prince Edward Is- ‘and to its rightful place in the estimation of purchasers in Great Britain and else- where.

But there is another means by which we may dispose of the surplus oat crop of the Province, viz., by converting it into oat- meal. It seems clear that if Ontario can

we have, by our carelessness ~ 5

pefform a sensible and a really good action,

drunkard’s grave. This, as we interpret

, ie Tie ExaminyR’s report, is what the Rev.

as S. Weston-Jones advised meuibers of the

Young Men’s’ Christian Association to do o ” : when, as Tne EXaMiner reported, he said :

‘Young men should first be attracted to the Association, and then, if necessary, m fluenced to Torin habitsof temperance, and to tive as 1 vanty and consistent Christians,”

e OE eecenemneme isoard of Trade,

Tue first arinual meeting of the Char lottetown Board of Trate was held last ‘vening. ‘There were present, Lewis Car ell (President), John MacEachern (Secre-

3 . , > . cary), Hon. D. Ferguson, Geo. Peake, Geo. Macleod, R. B. Norton, Geo. Stan- ley, W. W. Clarke, F.. H. Arnaud, Fred Hyndman, Donald McKenzie, B. Balder- ston, W. W. Beer, Jas. Paten, William Boyle, John Crockett, W. L. Cotton.

On motion of George Macleod, seconded by W. W. Clarke, the report of the Council respecting railway extension was adopted, and the following memorial ordered to be forwarded to Elis Excellency the Governor- General in Conneil :

Resolved, Thut the terminal wharf ac- commodation of the Prince Edward Island Railway at Charlottetown is wholly insutii- cient to meet the present and increasing requirements of the traffic received and forwarded by rail.

Resolved, That the merchants and traders of this Province are put to great inconvenience, delay and expense by reason of being required to truck goeds to and from the Railway Station, and the various wharves of the city.

Resolved, That the Prince Edward Island Railway at Charlottetown should be extended so as to connect it with the various wharves of the city.

Resolved, That in the opinion of this Board, the cost of such an extension would be much less than the requisite accommodation could be provided in any other way. ; Resolved, That the shipping season being short, it is important that every possible facility should be provided to insure dispatch. Resolved, That the inconvenience and delay occasioned by having to cart produce anil other goods between vessels lying at the city wharves and the Railway Station iuduces shippers to resort to every possible expedient to send their goods by vesseis from the out- ports rather than by rail, via Charlottetown. Resolved, That while such an extension would greatly diminish the delays and inconveniences }eferred to, it would render freight cars more readily available at a time when the demand for them is very great. Resolved, That the Government of Canada be requested to construct such extension of the Prince Edward Island Raiiway as soon as possible, and that a petition based upon those resolutions be forwarded to the Government without delay.

The fallowing officers for the current year were then eleletd :

President—Lewis Carvell. Vice-President—W. A. Weeks. Secretary—John MacEachern. Members or Councit.—Geo. R. Beer, John Newson, L. C. Owen, Thos. Handra- han, D. Ferguson, L. H. Davies, W. Matheson, George Macleod.

Boarp or ARRrrTRaTORS.—W_ H. Aitken, Wm. Boyle, B. Rogers, Patk. Blake, L. C. Owen, A. B. Warburton, T. A. Mac- Lean, F. W. Hyndman, George Peake, Donald Farquharson, Horace Haszard,

manufacture oatmeal for export, we can do James Paton.

sv. We learn with great pleasure that Mr. flozace Haszard has been testing the market with samples of oatmeal manu- factured by teadiug millers throughout the Province ; and that he has ia the past fail actually exported oatmeal in considerable quantities with favorable results.

Che enterprise is, of course, one to be carefully considered ; and, as in the case of cats, care must be taken that only a prime article is sent abroad. It is, however, gratifying and reassuring to learn that, as to quality, the oatmeal now made-in thé Province satisfies the market. It may be, and no doubt is, advisable to get improved wachinery, such as that promised by the Charlottetown Milling Company. But this will be a6 much to obtain a larger quantity of meal from a given quantity of oats as to obtain meal of a better quality than we can now manufacture.

In this connection it might be well to eonsider the expediency of growing more white oats and less black oats. We are informed that a bushel of good white oats will yield as much as five pounds more meal than a bushel of black. If this be 80, it will easily be seen that meal from black oats might be produced at a loss, while meal from white oats might be znade at a profit. At any rate, if we whould try to export meal in large quantities, it will pay best to manufacture it from the kind of oats which will give the most meal.

The Secial Glass.

OvR correspondent ‘* Temperance” is, we think, unduly and unnecessarily excited about the remarks of the Rev. S. Weston- Jones, as reported in THe Examiner. The report, we may say, was not obtained by a member of Tae Examiner’s staff. But the substance offit was kindly contributed by one gentleman who was present, while another gentleman to whom it was sub- mitted before it was published, certified that it was as correct as so short

and summary a Teport could be made.

It is quite possible that Mr. Jones’ mean- ing was not fully brought out, However thia may be, our correspondent is nut jus- tified in the conclusion that Mr. Jones gave expression to opinions such as should not be uttered bya Christian clergyman, or that he said something amazingly inconsis- tent with the position he hag taken in sup- port of total abstinence. The most rigid abstainer in the world may refrain from ** denouncing” a man who takes ‘a social glass,” and show beth good sense and good feeling by doing sv, Moreover, if he should try to bring such an onc under iuduences which would tend fo wean him away from “the sbcial ghiss,” he would

A short discussion ensued concerning delays of the mails, and. the following resolution was unaniously alopted:— Resolved, That the Council of this Board be authorised to address, forthwith, by telegraph, to the Premier Sir John McDonald, a Vigorous remonstrance against the misman. agement resulting inthe most annoying delays of the mails.

Inconsistency,

Sik,—At the special meeting of the City Council, held oa the 3lat ult., Coun. Byrne, in scathing terms, exposed the inconsistency of the position taken by Mr. Horne, in re- ference to the cruel dismissal of ex-Marshal Fiynn. Atthe contlusion of the investi- gation of the charges preferred against the Marshal, held by the Stipendiary Magis- trate some time previously, at which in- quiry Mr. Horne was present as a member of the Police Committee, it appears that the retiring Councillor for Ward Five pub- licly exonerated the Marshal from all blame, This was given out in Tue Examuver, whose representative was present at the in- vestigation, and at the special meeting of the Council above referred to. ‘Councillor Byrne charged Mr. Horne with having cleared the Marshal of the malicious charges preferred against him, at the close of the inquiry in question. Mr. Horne, however, sat dumb, neither contradicting THe Ex- AMINER nor Mr. Byrne. But at the meet- ing held in Ward Five last evening, when Mr. Horne way not confronted either by Mr. Byrne or THe Exayiyer’s represen ta- tive, Mr. Horne squarely denied haying cleared Marsh»! Flynn at the close of the investigation referred to. His denial, how- ever, comes too late. Mr. Horne may now wriggle as best he can when brought face to face with his constituents, but his double-dealing will avail him not.

Another word with reference to last night’s meeting, and I have done. Mr. J. D. Seaman. in attempting to uphold the tortuous course pursued by Mr. Horne in connection with the case of late the Marshal. justified the payment of three months’ salary to Mr. Flynn, on the ground that he was entitled to'the amount as a reward for faithful service! I approve of the payment in question, but it appears to me to be « most extraordinary position for men who dismissed a capable city official in disgrace, to turn round immediately afterwards and reward him for faithful service! The three months’s salary is not the voluntary act o! a majority of the Council; it has been wrung from them through fear of an out. raged public opinion.

MARGATE RURDER MYSTERY.

‘The First Step in the Trial.

eee

In the ease of William Millman, charged with the murder of Mary Tuplin, the Grand Jury brought down a true bill this afternoun. Millman was forthwith arraign- ed, and pleaded ** not guilty.”

The courtroom was crowded when the prisoner appeared in court in charge of constables Flynn and Harris ;and he was the cynosure of all eyes. A_ tall, strong looking young man, plainly dressed in gray, smooth of face and rather prepossessing in yveneral appearance, he bore the eoncentrat- ed gaze of the crowed without mufh per- ceptable change of color, and never for a moment lost his sel f-possession.

Wien asked by the Clerk of the Court the usual questioa, whether he was guilty ov not guilty, he answered in a clear and distinct voice, ‘* Not guilty.”

Upon being asked when he would be ready for trial, his counsel, E. J. Hodgson, Hey., Q.C., briefly addressed the court, setting forth that he had necessarily been unable to subpoena witnesses before the in- dictment was brought down, and could not possibly be ready for the trial sooner than next Monday week. He pleaded that in so important a case the court would grant him sufficient time to come fully prepared for the trial.

Hon. W. W. Sullivan (Attorney General) after consultation with Mr. F, Peters, said that he would offer no objection to Mr. Hodgson’s request ; but would leave the matter entirely in the discretion of their Lordships.

The Chief Justice thought the request reasonable, and the trial was accordingly set down fur Monday, 23rd inst.

Horse Breeding.

A late English paper contains the follow- ing report: —

‘‘A meeting of gentlemen interested in the breeding of Yorkshire coach horses, Cleve- land bays, and hackneys was held at the Midland Grand Hotel, London on Monday, Mr. Burdett-Coutts, M. P., was in the chair. Lord Londesborough expressed the opinion that if £5,000 a year was to be spent by the country for the encouragement of the breed. ing of horses, the whole amount ought not to }go towards the breeding of thoroughbreds, but that the three useful breeds i of horses above indicated should | havea fair share of this sum. The Caairman | announced that he had received a number of Jet- | ters from those unable toattend, Lord;Wenlock | wrote that the idea of the Government was,

he supposed, to spend the money so that the wants of the army might be satictied from the | country, and thus help the Struggling farmer. | Both purposes would be best served by en- ;couraging these breeds. Mr. Alfred Pease, | M. P., wrote that with a little Government j assistance farmers would take up breeding; ‘and Lord Feversham announced that he had | given notice of a resolution, having the same | object, for the next meeting of the Royal | Agricuitural Society. He then went on, in a speech, to support the views expressed hy Lord Londesb

ment grant should be applied totbe three breeds above mentioned. Mr. Perrin ton, the jaover of ‘the resolut x rent

it should be £20,000. It was also agreed that

a deputation, consisting of six gentlemen, to

be appointed by the three soxieties, two each, a should interview the Govermment on the sub- |

ject.”

It will thus be seen that the Government and people of England are being roused to the necessity of encouraging the breeding of horses. One of the useful breeds above ' referred to is soon to be introduced into | this Province, George Tweedy having, it is’ reported, obtained a splendid stallion of that kind. We trust that fhe Island, in a few years, will be in a position to assist, to | a small extent, inthe supply of horses demanded by Great Britain.
