ya | Dairy EXAMINER. |

THE

NOVEMBER 15, 1883. | ** 1t is like the unfortunate cat seen lately on Grafton Street, which, in its enthusiastic eagerness to get at some lobster flakes it saw in 2 can, pushed in its head and then discov: | ered it could not get itout. Now, a sensible | eat would have rospected the inside of the | ean before it ventured its head in, Sut the | eat We refer to Was no more a sensible feline than Tue Examiner is asensible newspaper It rushes. It has no pradence. It makes a big blunder all in one day, and it takes exact- ly a month to explain aud rectify it.”—Char- dotte town Herald, Nov. ls.

lv will be admiited that Tur Exam- INER is well supplied with gentle, candid, kiodly and disceruing critics; and we are pleased to receive from day to day, the best evidences in the world that THe Examiner holds and continues to retain the confidence of the public. For this, the critics are, no doubt, to be thanked. Tur Examiner is not— has never pretended to be—in/allible ; and we desire nothiog better than that THE EXAMINER’s statements, opinions, cou sistency, logic, etc. ; be compared with those of its oppovevts and weighed iv the balance of public opivion, If found wantiog—well, the true object of

journalistic discussion is that the public may reach right conclusions with respect to public questions!

Now the criticism of the Herald—a specimen brick of which is _ here quoted—was drawn out by reason of the position taken by Tae Examiner io the discussion on the question: Is the Government of Canada to be denounced en account of the withdrawal of the “St. Lawrevce” avd ‘Princess of} Wales?” The Herald says “Tue Ex- AMINER attacked the Government in its issue of the Sih iost.” We challenge the Herald to prove that statement. It is not true. On the Sth inst. Tue Examiner clearly couveyed the im pression that the Inspector was to be blamed. We said,—

“No proper examination cf the steamers has been made; and if an examination were corsidered necessary, it might have been made before the time “hen, of all others i the year, they are most required,

» Se that Tue Examiner did not find itself “in a dilemma’’—did pot ‘wheel reund,” is” not ‘“‘cowardly.” The position we now hold with respect to the question is, right or wrong, the position we took up irom the first. The Herald and the Patriot both say it is wrong; but they csv prove it to be so only by argueing against the Government in a way that they would aud dare not argue against a private individual. The Patriot says, suppose The ExXaMINerR be right, “where then is mivisterial responsibility?” Certainly the ministers form a Responsible Government, and the head of a house is a respousibie man. But no ope would dream of denouncing a father, who haviug called in the best doctor he could get tor his son, lost his son on account of the doctor’s negleet or miseouception of the nature of the case.

But, says the Herald, “the Govern- ment refused the certificates.” The Government did not refuse the certi- ficates, It did not grant the certificates It has nething to do with the certificates. The Inspectors themselves grant the certificates, to which their signatures are appended, quite independently of the Government. It is strange, passivg strange, that the Herald, which pretends to be favorable to the Government, does not take the trouble, some time during the week in which its articles are being prepared, to obtain the facts of this case,

The Herald says that Mr. Coker *‘in- spected the vessels meptioved in August.” We are informed that se gave them no such “strict iuepection” as would justify him in condemning them and withdraw- ing them from the routes on which they were placed. But on such inspection as he gave, he _ certified respecting each of them :—

‘That the hull is in all respects staunch and seaworthy, and in good condition for navi gation; that the eqnipment of the vessel throughout is in conformity with the require. ments of the Steamboat Inspection Act, 1882,

y f , : and that ‘‘she is adapted and fit to carry four hundred passen- gers and no more.”

In August, aud up te the 31st October. the steamers were, according to Mr. Coker, *' in all respects staunch and sea- worthy,” aud fit to carry ‘four hundred passengers’; but. (marvellous change!) on the Ist of November they are not, according to Mr. Coker, fit to carry freight.

The Herald. which does not admire THe Examiner’s logic, of course thiuks Mr. Coker’s logic all right. What do the public thiuk about it?

THE DAILY x AMI

THE TEMPERANCE AGITATION

What it bias Done—What it is Doing!

Prof, Foster's Second Address,

Proressor Foster's second address was listened to by a very large audience, includ- ing some of Charlottetown’s most influen- tial citizens. Judge Hensley occupied the chair. The Professor said he wished to show some of the results of temperance work. To this end, it would be necessary to con- sider the evils that had been prevented and the positive good that had been done. For fifty years temperance workers have | been engaged in saving men from the drunkard’s misery and the drunk- ard’s grave, in inspiring men and women with purer thoughfS and higher motives, in preventing the influx over the land of an overwhelmning flood of drunkenness. This work: is none the less real because all of its results are not apparent. The Church bas existed much longer than the temperance agita- tion; still there are sin and _ crime in the world, and temperance workers must not be discouraged, if after fifty years of Jaber—there are yet liquor dens and drankenness. But much agressive work has been done—much_ posi- tive good accomplished. Fifty years ago the mass of the people thought alcohol necessary to health, happiness and hospi- tality. What do the mass of the people think of it now? They regard it as the bane of society, the curse of civilization. That many who entertain this opinion, still indulge themselves in alcoholic libations, only goes to show that they have not yet learned to live up to their belief—they are learning, and their theory and practice in this respect will be consisted by-and-bye. Fifty years ago, where was the Press with respect to the temperance agitation. The magazines sneered at it; the newspapers ignored it. But now the religious Press is solid in favor of total abstinence, the independent socular Press is also outspoken in favor of temperance; while the dependent and party press is not very decided one way or the other. Fifty years ago, where were the doctors! All in favor of the use of alcholic stimulants. Now they say: no manin health should use it; no man in sickness should use it unless prescribed by a doctor; and in nine cases | out of ten something else might be |

prescribed which would effect the purpose of the doctor just as well. Fifty years ago, where were the

ministers of the Church? Few in the pul- pit said anything whatever about total abstinence, Now, Cardinal Manning stands at the head of the movement, and men like Canons Farrar and Wilberforce are in the front of the battle,while all over the Anglo- Saxon world the Church is continually exhorting the people to temperance. Fifty vears ago, where were the legislatures} Doing nothing whatever for temperance.

Where are they now? Every year they are placing additional prohibi- tions upon the liquor traffic. In

Great Britain, in the States, in Canada, all along the line. Fifty years ago, where were the women’ They were back in the

misery great good has come. Now they are organized, and taking their apprepriate part in the battle against the liquor traffic. So that looking at what has been done by temperance workers in fifty years, there are good reasons for thanking God and taking courage.

Why Brown Seized the Govern- ment Property.

One day last week a member of the Sum- merside Journal staff called at the Court House for the purpose of interviewing John Brown, the party who was arresced for taking such liberties with the Government property at the depot here, on the Ist inst. Brown said he had a perfect right to seize the property, as it was his, and he wanted to sell it to get some clothes. When asked what his right name was he said they called him Brown, but she didn’t, Rep: “Who is ‘she?’ B.: ‘‘Queen Elizabeth.” Rep.: ‘*What does she call you?” B.::**She calls me herson. You see my grandfather was bern and lived in the south of Ireland, and during the rebellion he gained his inde- pendence. Queen Elizabeth gave him £2,- 000,0.0, which, when I came of age, was to go to me, with mterest. Nowit amounts to about £25,L00,000, and 1 have not got one cent of it.

since that day ap to the present. The seventh call of ten per cent. made on the stock was shown to be necessary for the pur- poses of the Company. The expenditure has been somethiny more than the first esti- mate, the machinery being all of the most improved labor saving kind, with the object of securing the best results from the operation of the mill with the smallest outlay.

The new Board of Directors-were then elected as follows :

John L. Harris, Hon. John Lefurgey, (P. E. Island), Josiah Wood, M. P. (Sack- ville), John A. Humphrey, M. P. P., W. J. Robinson, C. Chandler, (Dorchester. )

Auditors—A. E. Chapman, James Mce- Allister, D. B. Lindsay.

On motion of Peter McSweeney, jr., seconded by Mr. James Fianagan, a vote of thanks was tendered to the Directors for their services during the past year. Mr. McSweeney, in making the motion, referred to the work of the year and thought the Directors deserved wuch thanks for the efficient mannerin which they had perform: ed their duties under the rather trying eir- cumstances to which the cotton industry had been subjected. He also referred to. the fact that the Moncton Mill has been erected and equipped with the most improved machinery at a less cost per spindle than any other mill in Canada, which he thought was a matter for congratulation and a tribute to the wisdom and energy of the Directors.

At the close of the meeting the Stock- holders repaired to the mill ana inspected its operations. About 100 looms were working, and a busy scene was presented in each of the various departments. The completeness of the labor saving machinery was particularly admired, and everything seemed to be working like clock work, Dry goods men who were among the stock- holders, greatly admired the products of the mill.

The Grit Reaction.

(From the Halifax Mail.)

The Montreal Witness says that Mr. Gault, M. P., of Montreal west, wants to resign but that Sir John will not allew it. The Witness says: “That the Premier would doa great deal to avert an election contest just now, when the benefits of the National Policy are hardiy so obvious to the vulgar eye as he would desire, is admitted by his supporters, and _ will be well understood by all.” This is quoted by the Moncton 1'ranscrypt and other papers, and belongs tothe reaction literature that is furnished usin generous quantities, considering the discouraging cireumstances with which it is written. If there were no contests people might per- haps be brought to believe that there was something in the reaction. But since the last general election there have been ten by-elections, with the following result :—

Constituency. Memlxr. Late Member, Terrebonne, Q....Chapleau.......... Nantel ME Es need ec ol Dupont....... . Mousseau Soulanges, Q...... DeBedjeau........Lanthier IM, UB. «5.5 CS char . re-elected on, Pe OE re-elected Albert. NB,...... Wallace.......5. re-elected eG Ea. . Richey Lunenburg, NS,..Kaulback ...... ,.. Keefler SEE, 4 oe OIL, ois: tin ghintie Girourd EIEVENG Whi da codes. Ms oh, cha 6a Blanchet

Now, strange as it may seem, not one of these seats has been won by a grit or an anti-protectionist. Five Quebec consti- tuencies have been heard from; three from New Brunswick and two from Nova Scotia, and not a grit yet. The reaction is the other way apparently, for the majorities for the Government were much larger than before.
