LETTERS TO THE EDITOR,
The Truth Substantiated,
Sir,—The columns of Tae Examiner, in ifs issue of Aug. 10th, were embellished by a communication over the — signature of “1, O, G.'T.,” and which, while possibly the pyoduction of one individual genius, inspired by motives of wounded vanity, yet bears the evident marks of being the desperate effort of a combination. The communication, which is intended as a reply to a previous one of ours on the sub- ject of ‘Temperance in King’s County, has all the appearance of painfully labored effort; and the’ writer, im his agonizing contortions, endeavors to substantiate his cause by low insinuations and personalities, which, however, is not surprising, being an expedient always resoried to by men of saiall mental calibre in order to conceal their deficiencies. Without advancing a single fact in retutation of our statements, which are rather strengthened than other- wise by his borrowed invective, he proceeds te assert. with a yvift of second-sight which would indeed be remarkable were it not so inaccurate, that we never gave pecuniary assistance’ to the temperance cause. itis scarcely necessary for us to say that if our .‘‘ pecuniary assistance ” were as slenderss that supplied by this epprobrious scribbler, it would be small indeed ; and still smaller would be the motive for cuntributing it, as itisa weil known fact that he is one of those who oaly exercise their benevolence ** that they may beseen of men.” ‘Sympathy for the rumselling fraternity,” which he ascribes to us, is only in keeping with the other low insinuations in which he expends his impo- tent rage ; and its utter lack of truth and justice renders the accusation at once worthless aid contemptible. Genuine sym- pathy with the temperance cause, however, has never been manifested by Fidelity Lodge, not one member of which, magis- trates included, has everassisted in a pro- secution of the illicit groggeries, or would do sv if required ; but the *‘ healthy tem- perance sentiment” which has too often been exhibited in the ** elevated’ condi- tion of some of its most prominent mem- bers; and in the conduct of those who, while taking the most conspicucus part in the proceedings of the organization, think it perfectly consistent with their temper- ance principles to indulge in ‘* old ale,” ‘‘hop beer,” and beverages of a similar nature.
** But the chief fault,” we are told ** lies with the Inspector and uther temperance officials “of Montague.” Who ‘the other temperance offigials” may be, we are tot
informed ; or why the entire responsibillty |
of enforcing the Scott Act should devolve
ou this village, and not equally as well on |
the whole community, is not made appar- ent. Certain it is, that the law would re- main forever a dead letter if no more prac- tical sujsport were received than that ob-
tained from I. O. G. T., who, while adver-!
tising “‘the financial assistance” granted to **the temperance people of Montague,” failed t@'mention that the contribution o his opulent and powerful Division amount- elto the truly magnificent sum of four dollars! And this it was afterwards thought should have been refunded ! ! ‘itis high time,” he states, however, ‘‘that the real temperance supporters siould avake.” It is needless to say that
when this long-expected event shall occur, |
he will not be one of the number, but will doubtless- be found in his present humble capacity, aspiring to an eminence he will never attain; and in the positron of a political camp follower, seek- ing to use the sacred cause of temperance
as a means of promoting his selfish ambi-,
tion. As regards his reference to ‘‘ social aud moral improvemeut,” we would merely suggest that the practice of those virtues is the most effective’ way in which to pro- mote them; nor can their interests be materially advanced by the empty preten- sions of attachment on the part of those like our would-be review, who, as if a fur- ther proof of his inconsistency were re- quired, concludes by admitting the whole of cur charges in the statement, ‘‘ that the law is being trampled upon with impunity, and that free rum is corrupting the life blood and sapping the vitals of the com- munity;” a state of affairs which is hardly creditable to his reputation as ‘‘ a real tem- perance supporter,” and a conclusion on his part, which, while perfectly correct in it- itself, is scarcely logical, consideriag the anathemas heaped upon us for merely as- serting the same truth; but on the whole a process of reasoning, forcibly reminding us of the description applied by Dr. John- son to one of his friends: ‘‘ He is dull, sir, naturally dull; but it must have taken him a deal of pains to become what we now see him; such an excess of stupidity is not ia nature.” It is needless to reiterate the statements conveyed in our former commu- nication. They are incontestable facts, and remain unanswered and unanswerable. While poisiting out the causes for the fail- ure of the law, we did not refer, as we might have done, to those who, while loud in their denunciation of ‘‘the drunkard and the drunkard’s curse,” themselves im- bibe the ardent fluid, thus bringing the cause of temperance into disrepute; nor to those whose temperance principles are of a purely local nature to be laid aside when beyond their own immediate locality; nor did we refer to the inconsistency displayed by selling at a church teaa beverage against a private retailer of which an action had previously been brought for violation of the Scott Act! On the ground, we pre- sime, that what is a criminal action on the part of a private individual is perfectly justifiable when done for religious pur- poses! These, too, are among the causes of its failure. Thetruth is often unplea sant, and to the prejudiced and the incon s stent must always give offence. But in tlic interests of the public and the temper. aace cause, let the voice of truth be heard. Let the real cause of failure be known;
‘and let the responsibility be brought home
‘any |
to those who, while armed with an effective law to suppress the illicit groggeries, have failed so signally in their duty, in allowing them to exist. TRUTH, Montague, Aug. 11, 1888.
Montague Notes. —
Although the season for haying has been so wet, the farmers round here have secur- ed most of their hay. The crop is a good one,
Fruit of all kinds is plentiful and com- mands a good price. More attention should ba paid to this delicious and health-giving industry.
A gentleman in the outskirts of the vil- lage has a large number of cherry trees in his garden, but finding that the robins were making havoc among them invented a scare-crow to frighten them away. It was such a frightful looking object that when the robins saw it, it is said that it scared them so that they went immediately and took back ail the stones of the cherries they had stolen. Of course your correspondent dves not vouch for the truthfulness of this, but it will compare very favorably with some of the egg and fish stories that have lately appeared in some of the papers.
Yesterday the Lieut.-Governor paid a
short visit to his friends in the village. Seldom does it fall to the lot of a person occupying the highest position in his native province to be so universally respect- ed and so highly esteemed by all classes and creeds as the Hon. Andrew A. Mac- donald. The new Methodist church in course of erection will soon be completed and will be an ornament to our village. The work- manship reflects much credit on the con- tractor, Mr. J. Murphy.
A. Martin, Esq., M, L. C., has com- menced the foundation of a large building, 50x27. It is intended for mercantile pur- poses. Mr. W. Taylor is also about erect- ing a dwelling house.
Mr. Alex.. McLeod, who resided for seventeen years in the neighboring re- public, where he accumulated his ** pile,” has purchased the store and warehouse owned by Mr. Mal. McLean and formerly occupied by Beer & Son. It is one of the best busi- ness stands at the Bridge, and Mr. McLeod has taken advantage of it by opening out a stock of merchandise.
Mr. 8. Mutch, instead of building, has purchased a neat and well-finished dwelling from Mr. John A. Annear, Lower Monta- gue,
Mr. B. F. Stewart has resigned his pcsi- ‘tion in the, Second Department of cur school for a more lucrative one. This is to be regretted, as Mr. Stewart was an efficient and painstaking teacher. His place is filled by Mr. Jas. Macdonald, son of the proprie- ‘tor of the Montague Mills.
Our Board of School Trustees is an ex- cellent one and shows the good sense of the people of the district for appointing such |worthy men to look after the educational ‘interest of the rising generation. I is as- iserted on the best authority that Mr. W.
©. White is one of the best, if not the most ‘efficient, school officer on the Island. Mr. ‘Montgomery, when on his last visit, was ‘highly pleased with the provision made for ithe maintenance of the school. : | In conversation lately with an agent re- |presenting a large firm, [ was very much | pleased with his assertion, that ‘‘ the busi- hess mea of Montague were the most hon- ‘orable in their business transactions of any | men in any city or town in the Dominion.” This of itself speaks volumes, and gives our merchants and mechanics a very high stand- ing wherever they are known. i

Not Much of Him Left.
Says a Vienna despatch to the London Times : In surgical circles here a successful operation performed by Prof. Billroth at the Vienna Klinik, is much commented on. While a carrier was driving his team to town last winter his legs, fingers, ears and nose were frozen. At the time his life was dispaired of. Both his legs had to be cut off, and only one finger ou each hand could be saved. His nose was replaced by an artificial one and his ears were clipped. He bore his sutierings with considerable com- posure, and, having been supplied with artificial legs and feet, lie can now get about with the help of two simple sticks. It is surprising that with one finger he is able to write very well.

It is estimated that the total number of books in all the American public libraries is 21,000,000.
There are said to be 8,000 Italians in New York and the neighboring cities in actual want of food.
There are in America over 4,000,000 farms large and small. Their total value is some- thing like $10,000,000,000. The estimated value of the yearly products of these farms is between $2,000,000,000 and $4,000,000, - 000.
West Virginia thus far hasn’t made much noise in the world, but she’s big enough to, and growing in certain directions. Accord- ling to recent statistics she is larger than Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey and Delaware combined. Their population is 3,980,040; hers, 648,547. The valve of their property is over $5,638,- 090,000; of hers, $307,000,000. At the same rate per square mile as the five other States named, her population would be 4,573,438, and her true wealth $5,941,779, - 128,
The statistics of suicides in France show for the past twelve months 7,572, one-fifth of these being inand around Paris. Poverty bas only caused 483, and this figure in- -'udes a morbid fear of impending misery without actual privation; 1,975 cases may be traced to mental aberration, 1,228 to -hysical suffering. Among the moral causes, domestic trouble stands first and Jeoholism next. There are 200 cases of cisappointed love, 27 from jealousy; dislike of military service giving 25.
