The Police Investigation.
We have no Cisposition to find fault with the decision of the Stipendiary Magistrate in respect to Mr. Chappelle's complaint against Officer Warren. Policemen have rough characters to deal with, and they cannot always deal gently. Still it is well that they should know that the eye of a watchful public is upon them, and that they may, at any time, bs held accountable for unnecessary violence towards the unfortun- ate creatures who fall into their hands. From this point of view, the conduct of Mr. Chappelle is commendable, notwith- standing the fact that he failed to make out a case. It is better for Policeman Warren that the investigation has been heid than that he should have lain under the imputatien of unnecessarily ill-using a poor man who has gone to his Maker; it is well that all policeman should know that inhuman conduct, on their part, towards any human being—no matter how poor cr vile ur black he may be—will not be toler- ated ia this Christian community. The idea that Policeman Warren was in any way resposible for the death uf Clarke was, from the beginning, absurd. Policeman Warren is admittedly an excellent oiticer.

Extraordinary Tactics
Severat weeks ago, Mr. H. L. Hall laid down a buisness-like proposition in respect to a first-class hotel for Charlotte- town. Our architects were thereupon, consulted and prepared plans. A private meeting and a public meeting were held. At the public meeting a committee was appointed to solicit subscriptions of stock in a company. Courtesy to Mr. Hall, to the architects who took the trouble to prepare extensive plans, and the meeting, would have suggested that, in the committee should
to event of failure, promptly cell another meeting and report the steps they had taken and the causes of their disappointment. But instead of follow- ing this proper course, ths committee have, it appears, reported to The Island Guardian. The Guardian, eager for a sensation, or anything to promote its sale, no matter how disparaging to the town, hastens,to report, and heads its article, *‘ Exit the Hotel Scheme,” and its report, ‘It Falls Through” —‘* The Hotel Scheme is dropped.’ We are not told that Mr. Hall has dropped it. There is no statement that Me. Hal; has withdrawn his reasonable proposition, or that those who subscribed $10,500 have repented their act. We are simply
told that ‘the Hotel Scheme is dropped.” This is an extraordinary result of a movement confessedly in the interests of the town. It isn’t En.
glish to “drop * so quickly a desirable pro-
posal. It isn’t American. It isn't manly. But the Guardian shows that ‘it’s Grit.” We hadn't
supposed that there was any politics about the matter. But the Guardian tries to make out of it political capital for Mr. Davies and his party. In view of the fact that Mr. Davies and some of his partizans simply subscribed a thousand dollars apiece, and then ‘dropped it,” the Guar dian’s effort is, evidently, ridiculous. If it were not for the indignity incidentally offered Mr. Hall and the public, and if it did not involve the less of ar excellent chance to supply Charlottetown with a means of attracting trade and profit, it would be laughably comical. Our ingenious merchants in all their efforts to cbtain cheap goods for their custemers, never hit upon anything so cheap as this very cheap means of promoting the politi- eal popularity of Mr. L. H. Davies and hi, party. Any man can put down his name fora thousand dollars, and any man can ** drop” an enterprise which he has taken in hand. The right kind of a maw is he

Dorcuester, Nov. 25.
A week from yesterday has been fixed for the execution of **Buck” and his death warrant is daily expected. Petitions signed by nearly five thousand names were for- warded last night to the Governor-General praying for a commutation of Buck's death sentence, but the general belief is that the petitition will not avail.

General Telegraphic News.
Sr. Joun, Nov. 23.—Word was received by the station authorities yesterday from Ottawa directing that the Swedish immi- grants now at the depot be taken care of while here. The uofortunates landed at Halifax on Saturday and were bound for the States ; but not having a clean bill of health from the port of entry were not allowed to cross the line. Only one of the party is able to talk English.
Port Hvrox, Mich, Nov. 23. — The Grand Trunk has discharged 40 of its oldest employees here. For years the company has given their men reduced freight rates, and they have bought their coal abroad. It has just been discovered that the men were in the habit or ordering three times as much as they needed, and had been supplying their veighbors. The compsny is angry and many of the best men have been discharged, and a great sensation created in railroad circles.
Rome, Nov. 23.—It is reported here that
the leaders of the German clericals are drafting a bill contemplating a general dis-
lingness to preside over the tribunal in question.
Moncton, N. B., Nov. 23.—It is now pretty well known that Buck, now under sentence of death at Dorchester, has not yet given his reai name except to the sher- iff, who will not reveal it until after the execution. Buck gave the name of Robert Olsen, but the sheriff's officers say that is not his name. Stipendiary Wortman has received a letter written at the request of Mrs. Smith, of Fenelon Falls, Onterio, sayingthat her son James Smith, and another known as ‘‘ Buck” left their home last spring and she has not heard of them since. She believes from the description, that Buck and Jim are her sons and is in great trouble.
Toronto, Nov. 24—The whole choir, with the organist, of Trinity Methodist Church have resigned. Mr. Kelly, the organist, resigned, he says, because he was underpaid, and never received a word of praise or encouragement. The forty mem. bers of the choir went out with the leader, chiefly because they labored for nothing, were never thanked, and because the con- gregation found fault with the class of music provided, holding that it was not modern enough in style.
ABERDEEN, S. D., Nov. 23.—One of the worst car famines ever experienced in South Dakota exists at present. Elevators aad grain houses on all railroads are filled, many cf them loaded beyond their safe capacity. Grain his been rolling into the markets at a most rapid rate, until the en- tire rolling stock and motive power of the railroads have been exhausted.
Toronto, Nov. 23 —Another case of small pox has developed here. The pat- ient is an Englishman named George Snyder, who came to this country aboard the Beaver liner Ontario, on which boat was a passenger il] with the disease, who was detained until his recovery at Grosse Isle. Snyder has been removed to the isolation hospital.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
An Important Matter.
Sir,—I have been shown a document signed by the medica! men of this city, and sent to each of our druggists, asking them to give a written promise that they will not select medicine for their customers, which means that we will have to consult a physi- cian, and of course pay him a fee for his prescription, should we want a little pare- goric ur a cooling powder for the baby, or 4 simple cough remedy for ourselves. This may suit the rich, but times are hard and the poor people cannot afford to pay a doc- tor a dollar or more for a prescription in every simple case. Such a state of things is unheard of in any civilized country. Have we too many doctors, or are our druggists so uoskillful that they have to resort to such extreme measures? If this is the meaning of the ‘*Medical Act,” would it not be well for our legislators to consider its repeal /

A Mopet Constante. — The following story comes from Sackville, N. B.: A short time ago one of our constables waa given a capias and told to airest a man living inthe upper part of the parish. Having secured his man, he brought him to Sackville and took him to one of the hotels. Here several friends of the prisoner were assembled. Seeing their friend in custody, they treated him and the constable, and got the constable so drunk that the prisoner escaped. An action has been brought against one of the personas for aiding and abetting the prisoner to escape. The trial takes pl»ce on Saturday, and the result is awaited with interest.
