LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL’ ELEOTION.

Liberal-Conservative Candidate for Charlottetown,

HENRY LONCWORTH, ESQ.

y EXAMINER.

Tue Datty E

OCTOBER 28, 1878.

A Great Triumph.

Tue greatest triumph achieved by Sir John McDonald in the formation of his Cabinet has been the union of such men as McKenzie Bowell and M. Langevin. The former is & representative Orangeman; the latter a representative Ultramontane. Yet they are to-day both working harmoniously together for the common good of their com- mon country.

Differences of religion and of race are sunk or ignored, and duty to united Canada is the motive for united action. This is as it should be. In the Government of the country no man should be known either as Protestant or Catholic, Orangeman or Jesuit. The fitness of the men has been the chief consideration with Sir John Mc- Donald. properly and happily ignored.

Americans Honored.

Their religious differences he has Good.

A few small schooners only in port.

Codfish plenty on North Side, but mackrel fishing over for the season.

The new station nearly completed; and the line to be moved on to the new track about the 15th November. A large num- ber of men engaged and proceeding vigor- ously with the heavy cutting to the new wharf, which is being pushed forward rapidly.

To the Editor of the Rxaminer.

Sir,—Iynorance, prejudice and empty conesit have always been base barriers to the progress and best interests of our race. The recent movements in connection with the Victoria Park are proofs positive of this aphorism. It is but a short time ago that the Park was fast assuming, the shape and appearance of an agrecable resort for the citizens of Charlottetown. Mr. Henry Curtis, the late Keeper, was eminently in- strumental in transforming the Park from being an unsightly jungle to its present promising appearance. But some discord- ant and retrogessive spirit must have alight- ed in the midst of our City Fathers, and is vitiating their tastes and warping their judg- ments in matters relating to our new Park. In common with hundreds of our fellow- citizens, the writer of these lines intensely deprecates and regrets the change that has been made in relation to the Keepership of Victoria Park. It was ill-conceived and ill- timed, which the future will amply prove. The effervescing spirit here referred to, wherever he is, will certainly entail dis- credit on the City Council, if that honor- able body listen to many more of his hard breathings, in matters of which he has no. knowledge whatever. Can anybody pre- tending to the slightest knowledge of what a public park should be and how it should be superintended, for one moment believe that the newly appointed incumbent is as eligible for that position as is the late Keeper. With Gordon no one wishes to quarrel. But it is well known that he is as far below Mr. Curtis in the knowledge and experience of laying out a park and superintending it, as Joe Hogan is below Lord Beaconsfield in statesmanship and diplomacy.

The great mass of the City Taxpayers understand not why Curtis has been dis- missed; but a few of the knowing ones do. If these divulge the secret, it will add no lustre to the glory of some recently elected Councillors.

Last year Mr. Curtis refused to carry a ladder on his back and light the Brighton Road Lamps. The Councillors of that time saw that the demand was unreasonable,and, therefore, relinquished it. It was not to be expected that the Keeper would, this year, consent todo a duty which he could not perform last year. It may not be known to the citizens generally, that Curtis left a pay of $2 per day to serve the city autho- ities at $1 per day for the year. Not long since he had an offer of being hired by the year at a pay of $2 per day, but would not break faith with the City by retiring in the middle of an engagement. Did all of the City Fathers so keep faith with him? It will be to the credit of the City Council to reconsider the whole matter. By inserting the above, Mr. Editor, you will oblige some hundreds of taxpayers, together with your humble servant.

Yours, &c.,

A Cirizex. Ch’town, Oct. 28, 1878.

Cardinal Cullen.

A distinguished Irishman has passed away in the person of Cardinal Cullen. Born in Ireland in 1803, he went to Rome at an early age, and entered the service of the Church. During the thirty years that he remained in Rome he acquired a wide reputation for his learning, and filled many important posts, including that of Rector of the Irish College. In 1850 he succeeded Dr. Crolly as Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of all Ireland, and in 1852 he was removed to Dublin, taking the place of the deceased Dr. Murray. Eleven years ago he was proclaimed Cardinal, being the first Irish Bishop advanced to that dignity since the gtime of the Reformation. Cardinal Cullen took a deep interest in educational matters, and his voice and pen were cease- lessly used to promote the welfare and hap- piness of his people. Devoted alike to the interests of his country and of his Church, he endeavored to make the welfare of both go hand in hand. He sought to ameliorate the condition of Ireland by means of relig- ion ; and his labors to prevent the success of Fenianism and the other ‘‘ isms” which sought to advance faction at the expense of country have made his religious labors really patriotic ones. It is true that his feelings are supposed to have been the na- tional feelings of Ireland, but he saw no hope for the country at the hands of those miscalled patriots, whose policy was alike self-seeking and irrational. —St. John Globe.

Russian Opinion.

Russian journals say, in reference to the impending Afghan war, that as England loaned officers to Turkey to organize and command fleets and armies against Russia, she can now return the compliment by loaning Shere Ali otticers to teach his troops how to operate against England. A further evidence, however, ef the designs of the Muscovite, is found in the gigantic efforts he is making to prepare a fleet to prey upon British commerce, when that war between the two powers, which everybody knows is inevitable, is declared. We see it stated in American papers that—‘‘ The three Russian cruisers that have been in process of con- struction at Phiiadelphia for the past six months are so near completion that but little remains to be done to put them in readiness for sea. Their names are the ‘ Europe,’ ‘ Asia’ and ‘ Africa.’ All of them will be ready for delivery in a month’s time. The ‘ Europe’ was formerly the ‘ State of Cali- fornia,’ and the ‘ Asia’ was originally the

Columbus,’ so that in fact they are not new vessels, but old ones reconstructed. Nevertheless, they are an important addi- tion to the Czar’s navy ; and as they have been constructed with special reference to their sailing qualities, in case of war no} doubt they could perform, as cruisers, im-
