THE DAILY EXAMINER,
THE DAILY EXAMINER,
SEPTEMBER 9, 1890.
Tux Pioneer, too, is in favor of continu- ing to afford the higher education required by prospective young lawyers, doctors, pro- fessors, engineers, etc., at the public ex- pense, without any payment on their part. It rails against the Examiner because the EXAMINER respectfully submits that fees should, in simple justice, be taken from pupils in the higher forms of the public schools who receive special, particular, incal_ culable advantages which ‘‘the great ma_ jority” of the youth of the country cannot have. Well, the question is one for the people. If the people: decide to afford the higher education for nothing ; if it be deemed good policy to educate young men, at the public expense, to leave the farm and take ‘‘respectable positions” in foreign lands,—the ExamINER will not complain. The people have a right to say what shall be done with the public money.
The Pioneer is wrong in its ‘surmise that Tue ExaMiner ‘‘thinks it would be un- popular to levy an assessment for educa- tional purposes.” If it be necessary to resort to taxation, taxation could not, in our opinion, take a more popular form than that of an assessment for the purposes of education. That education is an incal- culable benefit, the people know. Con-
sequently, the people are, if re- quired, willing to pay for it. The people did not object to the
‘‘Land Tax” imposed for educational pur- poses by the Hon. George Coles. They paid it cheerfully ; and would have continued to pay it cheerfully un:il this day, if they had not been relieved of it by the Sulliyan-Ferguson Administration. It seems to us that a juster tax than one for educational purposes could not be applied. The education of his child’s mind is as much a duty on the part of the parent as the clothing of its body. But the State can do the work of education for all—up to a certain point—better and cheaper than each parent can do it for his own children. So the State does the work; and it is but right that the State should be paid for the service it renders. An educational tax for the the Province would be based on the same principle as that of the water tax for the City. Each householder is in duty bound to provide water fur his family; but the City Corporation can provide better water at smaller cost than each householder can ; and, therefore, no householder thinks of objecting to the water tax on the ground that it is not just. So, if the education afforded by the public schools be of com- mon utility, or if those who take the branches of education which are above the reach of the children of the people at large are compelled to*pay fees for the special service performed on their behalf, no one will think of objecting to a tax for edu cational purposes—that is, if, as the Patriot and the Pioneer both assert, taxation is inevitable. But objection may be taken to a proposition to tax the many for the high- er education of the few.
A Warning.
Ir appears that some of the lobster pack of this year has turned out bad in the British market, and that the Portland packers, charged with the fact, state that they are very sorry but the lobsters came
‘from P. E. Island, and were put up by Island packers. This may or may not be true. It is too much the habit of some persons abroad to cast the blame for their own misdeeds upon people in Prince Edward
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Wholesome Rum vs. the National Policy.
S1z,—In your report of the meeting held
in Charlottetown, on Tuesday evening last,
regarding the Jamaica Exhibition, I find
the following observations by the Hon.
Daniel Davies :—
‘‘The great difficulty in the way of trade between these Provinces and the West Indies is that there is no reciprocal trade. Formerly ships from this port brought back sugar, molasses, rum, ete., and the profits on these articles were the best features of the trade. But now, owing to the N. P., the import of sugar and molasses is stopped, and owing to the foolish Scott Act the wholesome rum of the West Indies is kept out of the country.”
It would be hard to put together a greater mass of fallacies, nonsenseand misstatements than the above extract contains. Looking at the Customs returns [ find that instead of their being now no reciprocal trade with the West Indies, the imports into Canada from these Islands have doubled under the operation of the National Policy. For the five years immediately preceding the adop- tion of that policy, our total imports from the West Indies only amounted tu $7,639,- 604, while for the last five years they have reached the large aggregate of $14,896,745!
Our direct importations from the West Indies to P. E. Island have not, however, increased in late years. Although the duty on molasses has been less. under the National Policy than before, and is now merely nominal, we use less of that article than we did in 1878. Our importation of sugar from the West Indies was about the same in 1889 as in 1878. We get no rum now, but that is not a matter for serious lamentation. Even our West India mer- chant is not likely to break his heart over his loss of profit onthe less than $2,000 worth of ‘‘ wholesome rum” imported an- nually from the West Indies before the adoption of the National Policy.

News Notes.
M. M. Rochefort and Thieband fought a duel on Saturday. Thiebaud was slightly wounded in the thigh.
On Tuesday, at the Riggs farm, six miles south of Doland, South Dakota, while on the straw stack behind a threshing machine, Peter Peterson was instantly killed by a bolt of lightning from an almost clear sky.
A wonderful flower has been discovered on the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. Its chief peculiarity is the habit of changing its colors during the day. Inthe morning it is white ; when the sun is at its zenith it is red, and at night it is blue. The red, white and blue flower grows on a tree about the size of a guava tree, and only at noon does it give out any perfume.
Some miscreant drew a coupling pin at the Van Wert Street crossing of the New York Central Road at Albany a few nights ago, and two cars started back down the grade. A yardman managed to board them and got them stopped a short distance from a drawbridge which was then open, Had the cars continued they would have plung- ed into a Troy steamboat loaded with pas- sengers. No clue.
A remarkable manifestation of filia piety is displayed in the most recent issue of the Imperial Pekin Gazette, which contains a letter from the Governor of Chinese Turkestan, in which he tenders his resig- nation of his office, not on the. ground of any disagreement with head quarters, or of failure in administration, but solely be- cause he is anxious to stay at home and to devote his entire time to nursing his aged grandmother,
Capt. Thomas, of the barquentine Ca- therine Sudden, which has arrived at Port Townsend, Cal., from Siberia, writes of a brutal scene on the Saghalien Island, the famous Russian exile prison. A large party of exiles, heavily manacled, were on their way to the Island, being driven like cattle, the drivers carrying heavy whips. A num- ber of old men whose strength gave out, fell from exhaustion, and were shot by a driver. No mercy or discrimination was shown. Wives saw their husbands kliled before them; mothers saw their daughters outraged and insulted. The prison cells are filthy, and the treatment most bar- barous.

doing something for the purpose of tiding over the impatient spirit which Mr. Blaine’s proposal has evoked, with the idea that in a year from this time, when the amendment should take effect, and the President should act, the whole matter will be forgotten, while in the meantime the McKinley Bill will be in full and undisturbed operation.”
If this statement be correct, nothing more need be said about the hope—born of Senator Sherman’s proposition—that the Governments of the two countries might, by making an effort to that end, bring about a fair and honorable reciprocity of trade between the United States and Can- ada.
