— The official returns show that the value of goods entered for consumption in the Dominion for the month of February was $7,616,158, and the duty collected thereon $1,702,549. For the same month the goods exported from the Dominion were as follows :

Produce of the mine.... $353,125 Produce of the fisheries........... 397,379 Produce of the forest... ...% 2.466. 548,160 Animals and their produce..... .-. 686,929 Agricultural products ............ 923,119 Manufactures........... -recee, SOR BER Miscellaneous articles............. 11,031 a eT 2,400

ME i «4 cin eh deenivesnwe . $3,331,996

Of this amount, $5,185,019 was the pro- duce of Canada, and $146,977 the produce of other countries.

—We agree with the Montresl Gazstte that at this particular time, when Canada has the first place in the world in the

british cheese market, our manufacturers should beware of resting on their oars, as they began to do some sixteen years ago with respect tothe butter branch of the dairy industry. The latter was allowed to go down, down to the lowest possible figure in export, and to « very low quality. Since the appointment of Mr. Robertson as dairy commissioner, a good deal has been done to raise the standard of our butter and in- crease the export of it. This, however, must not be dene at the risk of losing our high rank as cheese producers. Last Au- gust Canada sent more chevee to England than any other country inthe world. Of the total import in Eegland in that month (318,249 cheese), Canada supplied 174,151, the United States 148,866, and other coun - tries 35,238. That is a victory to be proud of—-a vantage ground worth retaining, and, therefore, to be jealously guarded in every possibile way.

An interesting event took place yester- day at the residence of Mr. J, Saunders, Kent Street, the contracting parties being Miss Annie Saunders and Mr. J. H. Slack- ford. The bridesmaids were Miss Florrie Saunders and the Misses Saunders and Sterns. The groom was ably supported by Mr, D. Cameron. The ceremony was per- formed by Rev. James Carruthers, assisted by Rev. Ehas Slackford, father of the groom. The bride, who for wany years past has been recognized as one of Char- lottetown’s leading milliners, looked charm- ing in a suit of cream and gold. The happy couple left on the 3.30 p. m. train for Truro, the present residence of the groom, accom- panied by the best wishes of a host of friends, Tur Examiner included.

The marriage of Miss Mary White and Mr. Samuel A. Macdonald also took place at the residence of the bride’s parents, King Square, yesterday, the Rev. D. Sutherland, of Zion Church, officiating. After the ceremony the happy couple left on a brief wedding tour. Tue Examiner unites with their many friends in wishing them success. ><b><a Easter Cattle.

An Open Letter.

Patrick Blake, Esq.,

Dear oe eve of the last local election you, together with your worthy colleague, were waited upon by a committee of citizens appointed for the purpose with a view to getting a bill passed through the Legislature granting such @ readjustment of the wards asa would guarantee all classes ot citizens equal rights, or in other words, representation by population. With that end in view, the committee presented to you a pian of said readjustment which in their opinion would meet the case and at the same time be fair and equitable to all parties, The committee requested that you would give this measure your support. But for reasons, some of which you then gave, you would not promise it your sup- port, at the same time admitting that great injustice was being suffered by a large portion of the citizens under the present arrangement of the wards. The committee believing it to be a fair measure and esleulated to meet the case, had the bill presented to parliament with the re- ault that, cn account of the hostility of yourself and your colleague, it was thrown out. i may say just here that the promot- ers of that measure, whilat feeling some- what aggrieved, did not despair, but were determined that st the next session a far- ther effort would be made to get such Jegislation as would insure equal rights to all paris of the city, and at thesameti:netend to elevate the moral standard of the com- munity. I believe that with regard to this raatter your heart is the right place, and as you have been again unanimously nominat- ed to contest the city, we beliere it is your duty to your supporters, it is your duty to yourself and to the whele community, that you give a free and full expression of your views as well aa of your intentiona with re- gard to this matter.

Irish Affairs.

Michael Davitt, in an interview on the 20th, contemptuously referred to what he termed Parnell’s “bluff.” Davitt said he did not intend to be a candidate in an elec- tion inthe division of Cork city, which Parnell now represents. Two reasons led him to make this decision. The first, he said, ‘tis that Mr. Parnell will not resign, for he knows he will be beaten should he come forward for re-election, The second reason is that 1 am not anxious to enter parliament now or in the future, though I am unwilling to bind myself to remain in this frame of mind for all time.

“The Parnellites arranged a meeting at Cork for St. Patrick’s Day, when, accord- ing to cuetom, the temperance societies, Ancient Order of Foresters, the different trade societies, etc., marched in procession through the streets. Parne'l, seeing the great stir, and contrasting his present re- ception with his past reception, was in- duced to issue his challenge to Mr. Healey. He is now anxious to back out. The Free- man's Journal is helping him to wriggle ont of the difficulty. Mr. Parnell himself dis- couraged the idea ef runnifig a labor candi- date in Cork because he feared that with a labor candidate his party might lose the seat. I believe Mir. Gladstone was per- fectly truthful when he said the Liberal leaders never discouraged labor candi- dates.”

Referring to Mr. Parnell’s delegation to the United States, Davitt said :—‘* The gentlemen composing Mr. Parnell’s dopu- tation to the United States estimate that 30 per cent. of the Irish Americans are supporting Mr. Parnell. This estimate is greatly cx.ggerated. The number should be nearer 3 percent. 1 will not helieve that $4,500 was subscribed at the meeting in Cooper Union last night unless [I count the money myself. It is very easy to write up a meeting for home consumption. I have a recollection during my own ex- perience of a meeting held in Cooper Un. ion hall which was said to have been at- tended by 3,000 persons when only 500 were present, By far the greatest number of Irishmen in England are against Mr. Parnell. Out of 500,000 Irishmen in London Mr. Parnell has only received 500 names.

**The Parnellites will not be able to change the situation of affiairs in North Sligo. Mr. Parnel!’s candidate, Alderman Dillon, will be beaten by 2,000 votes. My adviceto the workingmen is to abstain from strikes for thtee years, to organize and to increase their funds. Then they will be in a good position to place their de- mands before their employers, The ques- tion of land is at the bottom of all labor difficulties. Ifthe labor problem is not solved by legislation, then will be the time for the workingmen to provide a remedy by the nationalization of land.”

The Pall Mall Gazette, under the head- ing ‘* Fire Escape Tactics ; Parnell Climbs Down,” says :—‘*Mr. Parnell has made his first really weak move. Consequently the Parnellites are greatly embarrassed and the patriots are jubilant. Now it is evi- dent the challenge of Mr. Parnell was a mere bluff.”

The Parnellites of Cork having ronewed their pressure on Parnell in regard to the challenge of Healy, Parnell promises to ex- plain his position at the demonstration in Drogheda ow Sunday.

The Dublin Evening Telegraph holds that Parnell’s eminence places him above the necessity of noticing Healy’s insolence, and says he intends to ignore the design- ing offensiveness of his enemies.

The Nationalists expect Parnell wil] not decide whether to accept the challenge until he hes learned the issue of the Sligo atrug- gle. If defeated there, they say, be will find some pretext to decline the risk in Cork.

Parnell left Dublin for Sligo on the 20th. His candidate Dillon faces incresaing odds. The Parnellite hope that a section of the clergy would refrain from interfering in the campaign has been blasted by the result of the National Federation convention in Sligo. The Bishops of Fiphin, Achonry and Killala have announced their adhesion to the Federa- tion candidate. All the clergy of the district are becoming active sgain in the election.

The Parnellites were holding a m at Sligo on the 20th, when they were attacked by anti-Parnellites, who stoned them, pelted them with mud and broke up the meeting. The anti-Parnellites also stoned the lice, who came to the agsistance of the Parnellites, and a general scrimmage ensued, After the Parnellite party had retired their opponents a Se There was no Surtees dis-

er,

The Parnellites are intensely savage over Mr. Gladstone’s declaration that me rule
