The lady did not mind it much at first, but finding that the sensa- tion increased till it became positively pain- ful, she consulted « physician, who pre- scribed fer her, and she obtained temporary relief. But the sensation returned and in- creased, and at last very serious symptoms were developed. Her mouth became in- flamed, tongue swollen, a burning sensation was experienced in the head and limbs, with severe bodily pains. ‘The case stands thus at present, but is being treated by a skilful physician, who in a long experience never hada similar case.

THE CANDIDATES.

Ox tHE Ministerial side, Messrs. Yeo and Perry will probably be the candidates for Prince County ; Mr. Sinclair will, of course—as in duty bound—though in fear and trembling—again take up the cudgels in Queens ; and Dr. McIntyre will, we as- sume, again ask the suffrages of the people of King’s. It is supposed that Hon. D. Davies is too prudent a man to run the im- minent risk of the coming contest ; and, as venturesome men are not very plentiful nowadays, no person has yet been found willing to take his place. Asa colleague for Mr. Sinclair, the Hon. William McGill is more generally spoken of than anyone else. He is an old Liberal ; andthough he has been and is still liable to be too much in fluenced by the false Liberalism of the day

personified by Mr. I, H. Davies-—he is we believe, at heart, a true Liberal. Cer- tainly no man deserves better the support of his party ; and though sure to be defeat- ed, we doubt whether there is among all the Grits a single man who will poll a larger number of votes. The Hon. John F. Rob- ertson is also mentioned in connection wlth the election in Queen’s.

On THE LIBERAL-CONSERVATIVE SIDE: Mr. Pope is wanted by both Prince and Queen’s Counties ; and, while he is think- ing the matter over, there is, of course, some hesitation in naming the other candi- dates for these counties. Mr. Pope is sure to be elected in either. But he is naturally loathe to refuse the free and unsolicited offer of his old friends in Princg County ; while there is no doubt that he would like to accept the unanimous nomination of the men of Queen’s, who so handsomely supported him when last elected. As Lib- eral Conservative candidates for Queen’s County, the Hon. L. C. Owen, Hon. F. Brecken and one or two others are talked of. But the people of the country districts must take the responsibility of naming a candidate. The people of Charlottetown have have had rather more than their right- ful share of honor in nominating Mr. Pope. Both Messrs. Owen and Brecken are exper- ienced politicians, and either would make an excellent representative of the people of Queen’s County in the House of Com- mons, and would reflect credit upon those who sent him to Ottawa. The name of Mr. Brecken is, however, freely men- tioned in connection with the candidature of King’s, as a colleague of Austin Mce- Donald, Esq. ; and there is yet some doubt whether he or Dr. Muttart—who is also spoken of—will be the choice of the Liberal Conservatives of the Eastern County. Pending the decision of Mr. Pope, no steps seem to have been taken towards the selec- tion of Liberal-Conservative candidates for Prince County. We can only say that we hope the best men may be selected, and

may consent to run in all the Counties. —_———_ ae

Liberal Conservatives Organize!

Tue Liberal Conservatives of the Dominion are actively organizing for the forth-coming election for the Dominion Houseof Commons, We trust the friends of good Government throughout this Island will not be behind hand inthe struggle. Let each section of the Island form a Liberal Conservative As- sociation to secure a more united and effec- tive co-operation of the whole party. United action is absolutely necessary, and there is no better means of securing it, than by As- sociations properly organized. Represen- tatives of these Associations could meet and select candidates with littletrouble. These nominations would have the advantage of not being sectional, inasmuch as all parts of the County could be consulted, and have a

voice in naming the candiates. _—— nn a —— —

Sir John 6n the Teriperance Bill.

Tax following telegraphic summary 1s given of Sir John MeDonald’s comments upon the Temperance Bill. It will be re- membered that yesterday morning’s Patriot reported that the Opposition were silent re- specting it :

Sir Jouwn—I was in Parliament in 13864 when the Dunkin Act was introduced by Mr. Dunkin, and it passed unanimously. A great many were opposed to it, as many people did not believe the system, as lait down in the Act, would be a successful one, but it was agreed to give it a fair trial. It has been in force since 1864, and it has not been widely acted upon in Quebec ; neither has it been taken advantage of to any great extent in On- tario. Whether the alterations as Se ape in this Bill will make it more palatable or more popular, I do not know, but certain it was that when the five gallon clause was intro- duced into the Dunkin Act, it could not be called a Temperance Bill. That clause was i put into the Bill really for the purpose .f de- feating it, and it did defeat it in many parts of the country. That has "been taken out of the present Bill, and there are really some im- provements in the Bill, as far as I have had an opportunity of looking at it and am able to judge. For myself, I believe the true remedy is a rigid license law. I think that the Crooks Act, if rigidly carried out, is the best way of checking the torrent of intemperance throughout the coun- try, and it is almost a pity it has not had a fair trial. I understand that there is a still more stringent license law in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.

An hon. member—Not in Nova Scotia.

Str Joun —You are right; it is in New Brunswick only, and a gentleman told me the law worked so well there that they did not an- ticipate that this law would be adopted by the different counties in that Province. However, [ believe that a vast majority in this House and a very strong party in the country are in favor of this measure. | do not feel inclined to oppose it, and shall do my best to aid it. Three years for the continuance of the Act, before it can be repealed, is too long—one year shorter would be better.

Railway. [From the Halifax Herald. |

Dr. Tupper shows :—

(a) That whereas the running eXpenses under Mr. Carvell’s management were only 114 per cent., at present they were 127 per cent.

(>) That the system of keeping accounts on the road, as to items chargeable at one time to capital, and at another time to in° come, had been altered to suit political cir- cumstances.

(c) That in reality the expense of running the road had been greatly increased ; $4000 alone being run up as an increase in the Engineering Department, although two En- gineers had been dismissed with a view to economy.

(d) That salaries and travelling expenses were only $142,600, in 1874, but in 1877 they were $211,625, or an increase of $60, 000. Deducting from that $31,150 for the opening of new roads, and there was still $28,873 of an increase in expenditure.

(e) That Mr. McKenzie had stated to the House that the loss on the first six months of the last year was only $13,000; whereas there was actually a deficit of over half a million, to which would have to be added $343,591 of the suspense account for steel rails, making a total loss of $850,000 during the past year.

(f) That this result has been arrived at, as we showed some days ago, in spite of great shrinkage in prices of’ materials, without any dimunition of freight charges, and with an exceptionally favorable season in aid of economical management. If prices had remained as high as_ before, the loss on the road would have been over a million. (gy) That Mr. Brydges had tried to in- crease the freight by increasing the freight tariff in 1874, but the result was loss to the road and injury to the country.

(h) That after an expenditure of $700,000, on the city terminus, the water side had not been reached, and the people were still dissatisfied.

Tuk appealed case of the City vs. George Alley was concluded yesterday. It deve- loped a curious state of affairs in things Civic. The property in which the appel- ant lives was last year rated by the As- sessors at $275. He appealed to the Sti- pendiary Magistrate, who reduced the valuation to $250. Still unsatisfied, he ap- pealed to the Supreme Court. There the question whether or not the bye-law author- izing the City to levy the taxes of 1877 was legally passed, was brought up. Investiga- tion of the Minute Book of the late City Council, kept by the late City Clerk—as well as other circumstances connected with the passing of this bye-law—showed that it | was not legally passed ; and, consequently, ! judgment (with costs) was givén for the ap- | pelant—who is thus relieved of taxes for the year. This is certainly not consoling to those who have paid their tax. Of course Judge Alley will not think of taking advantage of | the judgment to relieve himself of his share of the Civic burdens ; he will, we have no doubt, pay what he belieyes to be right. But there are undoubtedly some men—per-

A Belleville, UJl., déspatch says serious apprehensions ave felt that trouble in coal mines in that neighborhood, where nearly 40,000 miners are on a strike, will end in scenes of violence, and this feeling is great- ly aggravated, as Communistic agents coun- sel them to enforce their rights.

Another Invention of the Hnemy.

A despatch to our contemporary says :--

“Sir John A. McDonald is reported as hav- ing said that the Conservative Party may as well prepare for another five years in Opposi tion since Quebec is lost.”

We will undertake to say that this is as pure and unadulterated a lie as the assertion that Sir John and Mr. Plumb were drunk in the Commons. It is very likely, indeed, that a political leader would make such an absurd observation. But nothing is too assinine for the Reform journals to print. —He. Herald.
