THE DAILY EXAMINER,

The Bye-Elections.

Ine election of the Minister of Public Works by acclamation; the re-election of Mr. Gillies by a majority borderiyg upor four hundred; the re-election of Mr. Joba 4. Macdonald iu spite of the strongest op position that could possibly be given him.-—-these events are not calculated to raise the spirits of the believers in Mr Mercier’s friend. Indeed, Mr. Laurier’s chances of succeeding to the leadership of the Goverument and replenishing the trea sury of Quebec, robbed for his sake by his political friends and allies, seem to be as slim as ever.

Slaughter Houses in Town.

Twp health and comfort of the citizens is

oF very mu -h more importance than the

interest of any oT allthe butchers. So let

the Board of Health beware concerning the

issue of licenses to batcher in the town.

Such licenses should, in our opinion, be strictly limited to the present winter .¢a sou. As one is treated, so let all be trest ed ; keep all out of harm s way—outside the city limits. A rule like this will be strict, bat it will bs fair and safe.

Che dificulty of making ments now ia, of course, tu be considered. The Board of Health could not, without hardship to those who have lately been slaughtering in the town, refuse to issue a license for this winter. But we hope that they will be more careful in future.

lu view of the importance of the matter, Dr. Johnson’s suggestion that a public abattoir be provided outside the town is worthy the consideration of the authorities With the purest water anc! a soil that is at ence a deodorizer and filter, the sanitary comditions of Charlottetown would be of the best, if only the town were rid of sur- face itith.

The Afternoon Paper.

4 writer for Lippincott saya that, theor-

etically, the afcernoon paper is ‘‘ the jour-

nal of the future.” He gives as his reason

for this conclusion the fact that the greater portion of the civilized world is more than three thousand miles to the eastward of this country, and longitude and time opar- ate for the special benetit of the afternoon The truth of this was evi- denced in practice, a few days ago, when the news of the death of the Queen's eldest grandson at nine o'clock was received by Tae Examiner just about one hour later. Generally, news is made in the day, not ia the night. Another point in favor of the afternoon and evening papers is this: only a class, in many towns a very small class, of persona can afford time to ait down and read a paper during the morning hours: while the great miss of the people has ample leisure after tea to read and discuss the news and thoughts snd adver-

newapaper,

were low, varying Even at the latter price, there was some money iu rais- ing lambs, always supposing that the mother ewes paid for their fodder with their tleeees and the manure they made. it is now proposed that our farmers shal), after the manner of farmers in Ontario and Great Britain, take more care of their lambs, providing a little grain and green fodder, such as rape, for them; and so make them worth, instead of two dollars a head, five or six dollars ahead. There seems to be no good cause ia soil or climate for the supposition that it will cost more to such lamb here than it dees to produce it wr-other parts of the world ; and the best judges have declared that lamb and mutton obtained in this Province is excellent in respect to both quality and flavor. We have a goed deal of partially exhausted soil which sheep would soon bring in. The demand for lamb is un- limited. There isa market for it alike in the United States and in Great Britain. The tariff tax of the United States is the same On a two dollar lamb as it is on a five dollar lamb; therefore it will pay best to send the superior animal to that market. To the British market only lambs of excel- lent quality can be sent. But for such lambs the British delegates who were here last fall said that the minimum price in the spring of the year, in Eagland, is seven dollars.

Altogether, the idea seems te ba a good one. But to work it out successfully there must be co-operation on the part of our farmers. That is to say they must unite to produce enough lamb to make it worth while for dealers to come here and buy it up in quantity, as it may be required for the United States or Great Britain, and to provide steamers for transport. We are are glad to note that some of our leading 4rmers have taken the matter in hand.

—Verdi, the famous Italian comporer, re- cently wrote the following letter to an Italian journalist: “I have, my dear sir, nothing te write worthy of publication in the Genova-lberia. However, a8 you have spoken of agriculture, in which I um only an amateur, I should like to express the wish that more attention be paid to it in Italy. What a source of wealih that wonld be for us! Fewer musicians, fewer lawyers, fewer doctors and more farmers—that is what I wiah for my country.”

~ We have just learned that Mrs. Mac- Lsod's answer to Tennysoa’s ‘*Crossing the Bar,” which lately appeared in THe Ex- aMINKK, having been forwarded to Baroness d’ Eynecourt, her ladyship has addressed a letter to (he authoress thanking her in the name of the Poet-Laureate, herself and family for ‘* the very touching lines ” upon the former. ‘* Believe me,” Lady Tenny- son says, ‘‘ we are all moat truly thankful, my husband not least of all.” She adds that the poem is allthe more appreciated as coming from Canada, and ends, “ from eur hearts we wish the writer everything best, cow and ever.”

Charlottetown Athletic Association

Sir,—As there appears to be some slight misunderstanding concerning the arrange- ment entered into between the Charlotte- town Athletic Association and the Y. M. C. A., I send you an extract from the

agreement entered iutu between the two!

executives :

Article 1. The Y. M. C. A. and the Ath-

letic Association will retain their respective

organizations.

Article 2. The Y. M.C. A. will undertake to get the services of a secretary conipetent to conduct eclassesin gymnastic exercis-#, aud to place him at the disposal of the Athletic As- sociation for eighteen hours each week.

Article 3. The Y. M. C. A. will fis up and

place their upp2r hall at the disposal of the | Athletic Association for use daily (Sundays | «

excepted); said hall to bs kept h atel and lighted, and the services of a janitor to acs as caretaker will be provided by the Y. M.C. A.

Article 5. All mewbers of the Athletic As- sociation will bs accepted as associate mem- bare of the Y. M. ©, A., having fuli rights to the ase of the reading room, pirlor, and other Association privileges which may be provided, without further charye.

Section o. Ladies and boyshaving tickets, to have the same privileges as now allowed them by the Athletic Agsociation.

Artisle 7. In consideration of the above, the Athletic Association undertake to pay to the Y. M. C. A., the sum of four hundred and fifty dollars, to cover the unexpired term for which its present members have tickets of membership, &c.

This, sir, comprisea the important part of ths document. There are several other articles, not of primary importance to either association; but I think all who read this will aoderatand just the condition ofatlsirs.

Classes are now in fall working order, and members are taking quite an interest ia them. The instructor, Mr. Mafit, takes great care that the exercises are suited to the person exercising, and every member of the two aa socistions would be greatly benefited by com- ing uoder his charge for an hour three times aweek. Tickets of full membership in the joint institutions may be obtained from Mr. Matit at the Y. M. C. A. building, and tickets for the gymnasium, as usual from myself, as secretary of the Athletic Association.

What a Magistrate Should Not Do.

Str,—It seems to me that great interes- is being manifested at present in the welt fare and prosperity of the farmer. Clergy-

men do not consider that it is derogatory to}

the dignity of their calling in showing to their hearers, especially if they fil! pulpits in rural districts, the close proximity and intercourse the farmer has with Nature. The lawyer, if he is a politician and in- tends contesting # country district, never fails to portray the independence of the farmer, and characteriz9s him as ‘‘the bul- wark of the nation.” C.iumn after column in the public press ia devoted to his inter- ests, rendering counsel and advice, some of which can be accepted by ‘‘the hardy sons of toil” with a certain amount of grace, whilst, ] a am sorry to say, a great deal must be rejected as altogether useless for practicai application.

In this Province a step in the right di- rection has been taken to have the acience of agricuiture imparted to those who, in the future, will have the training of our youth, and I expect that from the seed thus sown, by such means, in the near future we shall reap an abundant harvest. It was actuate?, no duoubt. by such worthy motives, that a writer in a lute issue of the Guardian, over the initials ‘‘ J. D. D.,”’ wished to pose as a benefactor to his race when he pointed out ** things a farmer should not do.” But whilst such sage council is given to the farmer, and whilst s0 many beacons appear to light his way, it might not be out of place to point out some things that another class of our citizens should not do. I refer to the magistracy of this Province.

A magistrate who is sworn to uphold the laws of the country should not be guilty of signing school teachers papers withour ad- ministering the necestary oath, and thus defraud the treasury of the people ; neither should he sign road overseers returns with- out complying with the requirements uf the law, and thus become an enemy to the best interests of the travelling public, by hay- ing the road service to be regarded as a farce.

A magistrate should, in accordance with the requirements of his oath, endeavor to uphold the magesty of the law. For that reason, where the Scott Act prevails, he should not frequent those low groggeries and amid the necessarily suppressed shout of hia boon companions, render by word

and deed what aid lay in_ his power to violate the law which he, in the most sclamn manner

has bound himself by oath to uphold, and thus trail in the very mire of insobriety those magisterial robes that should be lock- ed upon with feelings of profound respect.

A magistrate should not for years en- deavor to inflame the passions of the far- mer in hostility to the trader by agitating against the present mode of selling pro- duce, and whilst laying the flattering unc- tion to his soul, that he was in the dis- charge of his magisterial duty and posing to the fariners as a patriot he had a trader arraigned before the courts for what he imagined was an infringement of the ‘“Weights and Measures Act,” formeasuring in a 24-gallon tub, he himself was guilty the very day he brought forward the action of selling and witnessing being sold to a fellow magistrate potatoes measured in a tub of 25-gallons capacity, yet failed to take any action in the latter case. In this particular instance, I suppose, ‘‘a fellow feeling makes us wonderous kind.” If he was actuated by his high and exalted duty he should not have desisted from his imagined praiseworthy exertions, by the appointment to @ supervisurship from an administration regardless of the wel! under- steod wishes of its supporters.

A magistrate, even if appointed supervisor, after having notices printed for road sales, and seeing that he could not hold those sales according to the prescribed time, saw {it to change the dates he then should not have absented himself from the several places thus amended, and disappoint intending con- tractors who had assembled, and have the public to surmise that his inability to attend was occasioned by his revelling amid the haunts of the half-breeds,

Literary men, we are told conceive their most cherished ideas amid the solitude of the forest, where the notes of the songster is the only sound to distract their attention; or on the sea shore where the tippling of -he waves, as they break on the pebbly beach, alone

The Lobster Business inti | Sin,—There is one thing about which I | would like to ask the lobster packers who | have been moved to protest against the new | regulations proposed by the department. It |is well known that lobsters formerly only brought about four doHars a casein the for- eign mirket. Of late years the price has | been ste vdily increasing, until last year they | ranged as high as seven and eight dollars a case, aud in one instance, it is said, as high as | nine dollars and a quarter. How is it, with | such good prices, the packers’ only give 50 j}eents a@ hundred, or 50 cents a hundred pounds weight as the case may be—the same price given when lobsters were “only about half as valuable in the markets abroad? The price of other producte’-is: governed by the markets. Why then do ‘the packers, now that they get such high prices, refuse to in crease the price pxid «t6 fishermen. Soine of the packers are making small fortunes out of the business, more than, one. firm’ having cleared four or five thousand dollars last year. 1 it looks very much as though we have a lob j eter combine in our midst.
