Parties in the States,

Parties in the States are trying their best to While the Democrats are striving, with might and main, to that the

Republicans are in favor of free whiskey for

misrepresent each other,

make voters believe beverage purposes, the Republicans are striv. ing, with all their vigor and ability, to make the voters believe the equally false asse’, tion that the Democrats are for Free Trade. Through the dust and smoke of battle be- tween the parties, one thing is all the while clear, viz., that Free Trade is dead in the States. The Democrats contend and pro- test and explain that they are as strongly in favor of Protection as their opponents. In the House of Representatives, the othe day, Mr. Mills took special pains to point out that not only is Free Trade not aimed at by the Mills Bill, but a very high degree evidently con

of Protection; and it is

sidered necessary by leading Democrats that voters all over the country should grasp this fact. The Montreal Gazette

remarks in a recent article

**Of late years the attitude of political par- ties in the United States on this question has radically changed. In the old daysthe Demo. crats were accused, not without reason, of leanings towards free trade, for at that time

the party was controlled largely from the South, where manufactures had not taken deep root, anda foreign market for their

natural products was the desire of the people. But of late years the free trade sentiment of the South has waned before the growth of manufacturing enterprise which has developed at a marvellous rate, and to-day tae Demecratic party takes on the fiscal issue the position long held by its opponents. The Republicans, on the other hand, have aban- dowd = t' doctrines advanced as re- centiy as i882, and now parade as the champious of a erude fiscal system created by the revenue necessities of the civil war, the tendcucies of which are at once to an exces- sive taxation, the establishment of monopolies and an unnecessary degree of protection. Both parties, indeed, have moved forward on the protection question, the Republicans to a greater extreme, the Democrats to the posi- tion previously held by their opponents. If the Democratic policy were established to. morrow it would afford a much higher tariff protection than prevails in Canada, whose system is sometimes denounced asa Chinese wall,”

Through Other Spectacles.

Tue Fredericton Capital, whose editor, Mr. H. A. Cropley, Island, has the following to say regarding Charivttetown :—

recently visited the

“Among its sister cities, Charlottetown occupies a prominent position, and has grown very much and improved inan exceedingly creditable and extraordinary manuer during the past ten years. The stores are much lar- ger and attractive; the number of factories have increased ; the new buildings are much handsomer; a public park has been added ; and the spacious grounds surrounding the Parliament building have been converted into an exquisite public garden. On every hand tuere are evidences of progress and good taste. A system of water supply, by gravitation, is now being introduced ; and hopefulness and pride for the future of the capital of the gem Proviace of the Dominion are preponderating feelings among'the thoughtfal, noble-minded people of Prince Edward Island.”

During his stay Mr. Cropley visited the Government Poor House, at Brighton, and has a good word for the institution and its

Manager, Sergeant Alien. He says:—

‘* There are a latge number of public insti- tutions in Charlottetown, all of which are very creditable to the Island, and an attrac- tive feature to visi.ors to Charlottetown; but we know of none more worthy of a visit than the r’rovincial Poor Heuse, which is situated near the sea-shore, about a mile from Char- lottetown. It is under the charge of Mr. John Allen (an old Sergeant of H. M. 20th

tegt.), who has held the position for over tweaty years. Both the interior and exterior of the buildings are models of cleanliness, re- gularity and order. While all over Canada there are more pretentious poor-houses, from a purely architectural standpoint; yet we are convinced that none can surpass that at Char- lottetown, as regards the great disiderata of ventilation, perfect cleanliness, a lavish use of white-wash, wholesome food, clean clothing wl everything tending to afford comfort to the aged and unfortunate inmates. The citi- z-ns of Charlottetown are to be congratulated yo their good fortune in securing the services vt sv capable a poor-honse keeper and public otiicial as Sergeant-Major Allan. We were lately shown all over the institution by tho gallant old Sergeant-Major and his estimable wife, and were much gratified with the visit. The inmates were profuse in their praises of Mr. and Mrs. Allen, and expressed themselves as well pleased with their comfortable home.” a

Fruit Item.

The great fruit growing tract, known as Vineland, New Jersey, closes its straw- berry season with the usual abundance, the Wilson being her constant market berry, as it will vest "bear handling. Then followed the red and black raspberry crop of huge proportions; now the season of her luscious blackberries is in full blast. On the 23rd July crates, containing quart boxes, ac- commodated three thousand bushels, and tuok thirteen cars to take them tou market. The home price was 4 to 6 cents at that time. When will P. E. Island wake up to what she cando? Vineland was a waste only a few years ago, now it isa vast garden,

Dewdney on the Skeenas. SOME OF THEIR TRIBAL CUSTOMS,

Hon. Mr. Dewdney, who professes inti- mate acquaintance with the Skeena Indians, ** They are neither, bloody, unfriend- ly, nor repulsive. They seemed to me to be inoffensive and honest, but then you vannot treat and handle an Indian as you could whites, blacks, or any other outside the genus red. No doubt among these

Says :

DAILY EXAMINER, -

people tribal distances are rigidly preser ved, and tribal rights upheld. Now, what ive tribal righte A white man kills an In- dian; the dead Ladian’s next of kin wants satisfaction, as his fathers did for centuries before him, that is life for life by a person- sl slaying of the murderer, or a_ certain compensation, traditionally fixed by tribal customs, The ideaofa constable coming to arrest a Skeovua River murderer would ippear more thaa saperlatively strange to those wople. The fact is that they are not of us, and to dk al with them properly we must understand them, The shedding of blood among the Indians is not so trifling : matter as white people suppose. On the contrary, it is most serious, and the killing

of even one Indian may lead to most ap- pall and deplorable results. It is said that two whites have been killed. Yes, but Indian stories of this kind must be taken cum grano salis. You know how many stories were circulated during the Indian troubles of 1885, without any foundation.

For my own part, [ should not be surpris- ed to hear that there were no white men killed at all in the Skeena country. Friend- ly Indian rumors will assert with all sol- emnity, that so and so will be killed sure. Then « white man says to a friend, that the party intended to be murdered, has been murdered, and this is very often the way things go.”

Madame Urso'’s Concert.

The Sux was certainly within the mark of veracity when it characterized Madame Urso’s concert as a ‘‘ magniticen’‘ itertainment.” The programme at the Opera Honse last even- ing (in the Times yesterday) wis the same as that in St. John, and it may <.! y be stated that never before was a Moucie.: audience so agreeably electrified. The praises bestowed so lavishly by the press elsewhere, and repro- duced here in advance of last night’s con- cert, does but scant justice to this creat artiste and her excellent company. ‘The writer of this heard some performances of Madame Urso’s several years ago, but last evening (in the words of one of the great New York dailies), ‘‘expectation was more than met Ly this trustworthy artist, whose skill has lost nothing through the lapse of years.” Her tone and general execution are simply marvellous, and her performance the very perfection of violin playing. Difficulties that appail even gvod players are to her meré child’s play, and serve but to add more grace, brilliancy and finish to her exquisite musica! work. Mr. H. G. Hupper, the pianist, played Liszt’s Rigoletto in masterly style, and his accompaniments through the entire programme were admirably done. He is an accomplished performer, and none better have ever been heard here. Miss Phila Griffin’s rendering of her numbers entitles her to a high position as a carifatrice. Mr. Louis Miller's fine tenor and Mr. Libby’s rich baritone were important factors in this delighttul entertainment. Our limited space forbids a more extended notice of this grand musical event, but the fact that every piece was rapturously encored (and gen- erous!y responded to, thereby doubling the programme) speaks volumes. Mr. Frederick Luere, the atfable director, is fortunate in having such superior professional assistance

to the distinguished premiere artiste, ‘‘ the Queen of the Violin,” a title long worn and never disputed.—Moncton Times

Gross Sugar Frauds.

Cousiderable excitement was caused in New York in sugar circles by the disclosure of what promises to develop into a stup endous sugar fraud. It was discovered that after the Government weighers had weighed bags of sample sugar on the docks, and duly stenciled the bags, the bags of sugar would be removed and others of a lower grade, properly stenciled, substituted in their places. The cargo of sugar weuld then be removed and appraised at the value of the spurious samples, which -in case they only fell one grade below that of the genuine sample, would mean a loss to the Government of $40,000 induty ona cargo, and it is believed that many of the substituted were three or more grades below the genuine samples, making the loss correspondingly greater. It is not known how long this has being going on, or who is responsible for it, but suspicions point very strongly to the refiners. It is very easy to get bags the same as those in which the sample sugar is put up, and any stencil cutter could make the stamps, so the matter has undoubtedly been carried on according to a prearranged plan between interested persons. Itis safe to predict however, that the Government has been defrauded of millions of dollars in duties by the practice. Some very interesting disclosures are looked for when the matter is more thoroughly investigated.

A Contradiction.

The rumor which was started by the New York Herald of Father Maturin’s secession to the Roman Catholic Church, and which was cmphatically contradicted at the time, receives a fuller contradiction in the letter following, just received from Brighton, England :—

Bricutron, June 26, 1888,

My Dear Father Convers,—1 have been doing nothing since my arrival in England. and am already feeling very much better, and hope, ere long, to be ready for as much work as ever.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

Things Said and Done on the Streets and Elsewhere.

Tur Island Guardian, that great cham- pion of the Scott Act, has at last realized thefact that there is a good deal of drank- enness preva'oat, and demands that some move be made in the direction ef lessening the evil. To be sure, other people made this discovery long ago, but the Guardian and other admirers of the Act, with charac- teristic stubborness, denied that such was the case. Now, however, that they have had their eyes opened, and have put their heads together, they have decided upon a rather novel method of effecting an improvement. | Cheir intention is, as has been announced through the press, to make arrangements | for taking down the names of all persons} seen going tito places wherein it is sus- pected liquor is sold, with a view, doubt- less, to future publicity. The idea isa great one ; well worthy of the massive in-| tellects that devised it. But this business of taking down names is one that will work both ways. The names of several well- known supporters of the Scott Act, who have been the habit of receiving large supplies of intoxicating liquors from abroad, have been taken down long ago, and the names of the others are easiiy obtained. | have not the least doubt as to which of the lists would be the more interesting. By all means let us have them.

What in the world has become of the new stone and iron railing that was to be placed around Queen Square? It is now upwards of a year since it was announced that we) were to have it, yet it is not forthcoming. Who is to blame for the delay! About a year ago it was reported that the contract for its erection had been let, but up to the present the contractor has not begun work, Later on it was said that Senator Howlan had been given charge of the matter, buat he appears tu be as slow about moving as the others. Indeed, some people go so far as to say that he is waiting for the building of the subway weross the straits before be ginning operations on the fence. But this is probably a libel. The Senator is an en- ergetic man, and even though he may not be able to cet us the subway just now, he will do so eventually. If he does not, it will not be beecanse he did not try. The same remark applies to the fence. If it is not forthcoming che Senator must not be blamed for the delay !

The cost of a Presidential campaign in the United States is away up in the mil- lions. Between paid workers, the circula- tion of literature, rents of halls, organiza- tion of parades, and the purchase of votes, a good deal of money changes hands. The party purses, however, are bulky and deep. { have secu it stated as a reason wihiy Senator Alger should have been tendered the Republican nomination that he had promised to contribute $5,000,000 to the campaign fund. The Democrats are also, it is said, well supplied with funds. Re- presentative Scott, of Pennsylvania, has put his name down for $1,000,000; Brice, of Ohio, for $500,000; Oelrichs, of New York, for $500,000; Edward Cooper, for $100,000, and the rich men of Tammany pledge $500,000. There are many other contributors whose names figure for smaller sums, but 1 do not consider it necessary to repeat them here. Some one will be out of pocket considerably at the end of the race, and many will make big hauls.

Another musical prodigy has been dis- covered in the person of a little girl ten years of age, who plays the violin and in- terprets the works of the greatest musicians in a way that arouses the wildest enthusiasm in Italy, if we are to believe those who are about to bring her before the publie. Giulietta Dionesi, the girl in question, comes from a musical family of Leghorn. Her father, whois a violinist, was her first teacher, and although he is an accomplished musician, she has already far outstripped him. She is to visit America shortly, and will be aceompanied by her elder brother, who is said to be a promising composer. When she ceases to create excitement in the United States she will probably come to Canada, and may possibly visit the Island.

The Bishop of Peterborough (Eng.) has come out strongly agiinst church bazars. Bazars, even for charitable purposes, he considers most objectionable, and, instead of them, he urges the adoption of regular systematic giving towards the church. In many cases the Bishop thinks that bazars are unnecessary, and he is of opinion that it would be much better to induce men and women to give cheerfully for the sake of God and the church rather than for the sake of the pleasure, excitement or amuse- ment which the bazar affords. The Bishop's remarks have created quite au impression, but have not settled the bazar by any means. The bazar is an institution which has come to stay, at least for a little while, and is a fruitful source of revenue for charitable purposes. By all means let it live, but insist upon its being properly con- ducted.

The newspapers of the old world are famous for their ignorance concerning lo- calities in this country: An Italian paper tells its readers of a cannibal woman in Manitoba that killed aad ate a dozen men. Spesking of the circumstances it says : **Manitoba is an integral part of the United States, and that serene republic is governed by Grover Cleveland and his gracious lady. Really, we do not know how she can bear to hear of this unpunished outrage, com- mitted by a woman who ean say: ‘1 am an Amvvican citizen.’” Of course we do not make any such ridiculous blunders when writing up affairs in Ltaly!

_ The papers state that the Queen of Sweden is undergoing peculiar treatment to restore her nerves to a normal condition. Her doctors have ordered her to rise early, make her own bed and dust and sweep the

room. She has to take a walk in the gar- den before breakfast, work among the »wers afterwards, and lead an active out- Already the Queen has been benefitted by this curious ‘‘cure,” the **chambermaid treatment” as it is called. The ‘* chambermaid treat- ment” is a capital one for toning up the nerves, and some of the Charlottetown girls should try it. I am sure they, as well as their mothers, would be benefitted. PERcy.
