THE DAILY EXAMINER.

JUNE 18, 1888.

Editorial Notes.

It has been definitely arranged that the delegates from Newfoundland to discuss the terms of union with Canada will visit Otta- wa in September.

No time is being lost in getting the Manitoba and Northwest Experimental Farms at Brandon and Indian Head into working order. Tenders for barns, stables and residences for beth places have been called for and will be received up to the 30th imstant.

An Ottawa despatch of the 15th states: **The Minister of Finance bas received a special cable from Sir Charles Tupper, stating that tenders have been received for three times the amount of the new loan, and that although it is the first colonial three per cent. ever placed on the London market, the 'oan will realize an average of £95 ls. This is considered equal to 107 for 3} per cents, or 120 for four per cents, and is almost equal to the success of the sixty year India three per cent. floated a few weeks ago.”

- The result of the contested election case in Megantic, Quebec, furnishes a notable example ot ‘‘ the biter bitten.” Mr. Johnson, the sitting member, was a Con- servative, Mr. Whyte, his opponent, a Grit. Mr. Whyte’s appeal to the coucts was successful in so farthat Mr. Johnson was unseated, because one of his agents had treated an elector ; but the enquiry led to such developments that Mr. Whyte was himself ‘‘disqualified” for seven years on account of personal bribery. Mr. Whyte was a typical Grit, shouting purity and practising corruption,

—Senator Hale says that everything in Canada’s progress is involved in the Monroe doctrine. As that doctrine insists that the whole boundless continent belongs by divine right to the United States, Mr. Hale’s utter- ances would be alarming if he spoke for the Republican party. The Montreal Witness remarks that Canadians, however, may be consoled by the fact that this is only part of the orat hreworks of the presiden- tial campaign that Mr. Hale is firing off. It is not so much at Canada as at Mr. Cleve- land that are aimed. It is hoped, nevertheless, that they will have as little effect ia injuring Mr. Cleveland as they can have in checking Canadian pro- gress. In that case Mr. Cleveland’s re- election is certain.

Our Boys at Halifax.

In Saturday's issue we published the scores made by our military men at Halifax. Although our Island men came off third best under the circumstances this was not to be wondered at. Indeed, it would have been excraordinary if they had done better. In organizing his team Lt.-Col. Dogherty had not a little difficulty; at this busy season, in getting his quota, and having succeeded, the time was entirely too limited to have the necessary practice on the Ken- sington Range. In Nova Scotia and New Brunswick we understand such was not the Their teams were culled from the very best shots, by actual practical tests on their respective ranges, in some cases Wim- beldon men having been dropped out. Such tests brought their very best men to the front,and it was against these men our men had to contend. Taking the individual shooting, we see our genial friend, Sapper Henry W. Anderson, of the railway ser- vice, stands highest in all the teams ex- cepting Lieut. James Dover (an old Island shot) of the Nova Scotia team, who made one point more than Sapper Anderson, but Mr. Anderson's shooting was much more regular, his scores being: At 200 yards 30; 509 yards, 30, and at 600 yards 28 points. This showed a steady hand, and we hope to hear from Mr. Anderson again. Lieut. Hooper also made some very regular shoot- ing, his points being three 28's.

—— + <6 pe ‘i Boston Prices. From the official market report of the Soston Chamber of Commerce, June 14, we extract the following :

Porators.—The market is over-supplied with al! kinds of old potatoes, and the situ- ation is very depressed. In addition to the large amount of Province stock offering, there have been large arrivals of Scotch po- tatoes and prices are on a very low basis. Anything at all ordinary meets with no sale, and in order to move such goods, very low figures have to be accepted. Some fancy lots of Burbanks andProlifics sell in a smail way as high as 60c, but Rose, Hebrous, White Brooks, Davis Seedlings and other lots that show the weather are not wanted, and are nominal at 50c, down as to quality. The best Island Chenangoes including lots arriving by steamer or car that are free from sprouts, command about 50c, but lots anyway sprouted are nominal at 35 to 40c. The best Scotch Magnums are nominal at 40 to 50c, with no demand for off lots. New potatoes are selling well for all choice stock, but offerings are still light.

Ecas.—Receipts for the week 17 boxes, 49 bbls., 10,126 cases; last week 31 boxes, 97 bbls., 10,548 cases. The market has been quite active during the past few days, and prices are firmer on all choice lots. Eastern extras are quoted at 16} to to 17c, with P. E. Island and western stock at 16c. There is no boom to the market, but values are on a very steady basis, and sales are fair of all choice Jots.

Pork.— Market firm with fair demand at

former prices. _ Fisa.—Mackerel scarce and nominal, but lew new fish being received as yet. Old esd ey with general tone of quietness on new ish.

Supreme Court.

PRINCE COUNTY.

The Court adjourned at an early hour on Saturday afternoon to enable the Judge and Bar to return to Charlottetown by the evening train. The action brought by Dr. Jarvis against the town of Summerside resulted in a nou-suit, leave being reserved to set it aside and a new trial granted.

The Court met to-day at twelve o'clock, when thirteen Scott Act appeals were taken up. These are all to be tried by a jury. Some Carrie.—During the past months 1I,- 000 head of cattle were exported from Mon- treal for thefEuropean market,

‘THE DAILY EXAMINER, - -

Bishop Courtney.

Tuk Bishop administered the rite of con- firmation at Milton yesterday, and delivered an address before a large congregation. In the afternoon he addressed and catechised St. Paul’s Sunday School. In the evening he preached to one of the largest congrega- tions ever assembled in St. Paul’s Church, taking for his text the famous words: ‘‘I have fought the good fight, | have finished my course, I have kept the faith.” He re- viewed the life of St. Paul, showing how he kept the faith, referred eloquently to the character of the late Emperor of Germany, and exhorted his hearers to live the life and keep the faith of true followers of the Saviour. The singing was unusually fine; the choir having lately been strengthened by the voices of a number of boys; and the service was bright and hearty.

This evening His Lordship will attend a conversazione in St. Paul’s Schoolroom, and to-morrow he will (it is rumored) per- form one of the most interesting of Chris- tian ceremonies in St. Paul’s Churc!s.

After that he leaves for Georgetown,

Gleanings From My Common-place ooks FOR THE BENEFIT OF YOUNG MEN ATTENDING THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

LOYALTY TO PARTY,

What can be done in parliamentary parties if every man is to pursue his own little game? A costermonger and donkey would take a week to travel from Birming- ham to London; and yet, by running athwart the London and North-western line, they might pring to total destruction a great express train; and so, very small men, who, during their whole political lives, have not advanced the question of Reform by one hair’s breadth or by one moment of time, can in a critical hour like the present throw themselves athwart the objects of a great party, and mer, it may be, a great measure that sought to affect the interests of the country beneficially for all time.—John Bright, April, 1867,

LEGAL EVIDENCE.

No, my Lords; we know well that it is the glory of this Constitution that not the general fame or character of any man—not the weight or power of any prosecutors, no plea of moral or political expediency—not even the secret consciousness of guilt which may live in the bosom of the Judge—can justify any British Court in passing any sentence, to touch a hair of the head or an atom in any respect of the property, of the fame, of the liberty, of the poorest or meanest: subject that breathes the air of this just and free land. We know, my Lords, that there can be no legal guilt without legal proof; that the rule which de- fines the evidence is as much the law of the land as that which creates the crime. It is upon that ground we mean to stand. — From Sheridan's Speech in House of Lords on Impeachment of Warren Hastings.

‘“Frar Justitia rnvat Catum.”— This celebrated phrase was used by Lord Mans- field in declaring for the reversal of the outlawry against John Wilkes, and for which an earlier author has been sought in vain.

AMERICAN POLITICS.

It has been well said by a Japanese traveller, that the foundation of American politics is not to honor politicians; always to speak evil of dignities, if they are on the other side of politics; always to bear false witness, if elections can be carried that way; to think a great deal of evil of every- body; and, politically, to do always to the other side exactly what you would not at all like them to do to you.—North Ameri- can Magazine, Jug-August, 1877.

HOUSE OF LORDS.

A function of the House of Lords is to criticize, amend and correct the legislation of the House of Commons, not with the view of stopping the progress of a measure, or changing its character, but merely with the view of securing that when a Bill be- comes an Act of Parliament, it shall be intelligible, consistent, and operative.— Saturday Review, February, 1874.

THE JUDICIAL OFFICE.

In England, in America, in evety well- constituted and well-regulated State, the executive and judiciary powers are separ- ated by a broad and impassable barrier. There is no authority in the State, how- ever high, that would venture to interfere with the discharge of the judicial office. It would be considered a violation of the most sacred principles, and an outrage on all propriety, to seek to control, or even to in- fluence, directly or indirectly, the decision of a judge even of the most inferior tri- bunal.—-Sir Alexander Cockburn, Chief Jus- tice of England, in reasons for dissenting to the Geneva Award in 1872.

TIME, THE DESTROYER OF EVIDENCE, &e.

In the sketch of Lord Plunkett we find the following specimen of his imagery: In commenting upon the wisdom of the rule of law which presumes right from undis- turbed possession, he observed ‘* Time is the great destroyer of evidence, but he is also the great protector of titles. If he comes with a scythe in one hand to mow down the monuments of our possessions, he holds an hour glass in the other, from which he incessantly metes out the por- tions of duration that are to render those muinments; no longer necessary.” ‘This, we presume to be the passage alluded to by Mr. Brougham in his great law speech : ‘**My noble friend, Lord Plunkett, well said with his usual felicity of expression, that Time is armed wiih his scythe to de- stroy the evidence on which title rests, but the law-giver makes him move with healing on his wings to stay the ravages of his weapon.” —From an old Law Magazine.

A REMARK OF SIR ISAAC NEWTON JUST BE- FORE HIS DEATH.

I do not knew what I may appear to the world; but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea shore, and diverting myself by now and then find- ing a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than Sordinary, while the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.

St. Ann’s School.

Tue annual examination of the classes in St. Ann’s Convent School, in this city, took place on Friday last. Among those who were present and assisted in the exercises were His Lordship Bishop Mc- Intyre, Rev. Allan Macdonald, Rev. F. X. Gallant and Rev. J. C. Maclean. The pupils acquitted themselves in a manner highly satisfactory to all present—those of the more advanced classes doing particularly well, answering the questions put them with an ease and aptitude which clearly in. dicated the thoroughness of the instruction imparted. Samples of plain sewing and knitting—-the work of the pupils—were shown and were much admired,

The good Sisters of St. Ann’s are doing a noble work among the little ones— and they are doing it in a quiet way. Each year they educate—morally as well as in- tellectually—a large number of children. That the little girls soon learn to love ther teachers, and to co-operate with them in their efforts to prepare for the great battle of life, is amply attested to on a visit to the institution.

Kissing.—At Harrisburg, Pa., last week, Judge Simonton sentenced Albert Miller to two months imprisonment in the county jail, for kissing his sweetheart on the street. Mill- er in his own defence said that the young lady was his affianced, that since paying attention to her he had frequentiy kissed her, and she seemed to enjoy it, and he did not think she would revolt when he kissed her on the street. The judge said there was a material difference between kissing a young lady in her parlor, and committing the act of osculation in a pub- lic place, and he would give him two months time to learn what the difference was.
