WHY ENGLAND I8 HATED.

The Londen Times gave great promin- ence lately to a letter signed “A Foreign er,” discussing the reasons why England is hated. Its importance lies in the fact that the writer is really King Leopold of Belgium, who is visiting London, and that he arrrays himself as the only chax- pion of the British cause which has been

| F ; : so | found in Europe during the present crisis.

The following shows the tenor of His Majeaty’s letter: “As one who has taken, during half a century, the keenest interest in English politics, and who has always followed with great admiration the spirit of enterpriee, unflinching love of liberty, and great achievements of your nation all over the world, I cannot suppress my astonishment on finding that rot only Americans, Turks ani Boers, but near y all the nations of Europe and Asia, mani- feet great animosity towards Great Brit ain, and I, very naturally, ask myself, what ou earth may have caused that an- apimous hatred, and what is the reason that they all pour the vials of their wrath upon the English ?

“Tn the first place, itis envy and jeal- ousy which have made England hated and

feared by her rivals in the tield of com- petition. The sight of a relatively small

nation spreading a net of colunies and pos sessions all over the globe, bringing for ward extraordinary and salutary changes in the social and political conditions of distant wild and semi-civilized nations, and, above all, earning moral and ma- terial successes fur her strenuous work, could hardly have been viewed with indif-

ference by those European nations whose awakening is of more recent date, and

who do not dispose of the means and qual- ities which have helped you.

“Success has in all times engendered envy and animosity, and particularly if this success is the ontcome of national qualities i: which others are lacking. Germany, France, and Russia, in compar ing their gigantic military budget with the comparatively small outlays of Eng land for her defence, must certainly feel vexed, and still more will their respective peoples envy the British citizen, who does

not feel the burden of compulsory mili- tary service, and still enjoys the liberty, might, and power of the greatest Empire

that ever existed. The Frenchman of the better class is comparatively les: blind in his judgment than the others. He says, ‘Je deteate les Anglaise, mais je les admire.’ (I detest the Eng'ish, but I admire them.)

“The Russian, like all Asiatics, is care- fully hiding his feelings. He imitates the Englishman in habits and manners. He acknowledges his mental auperiority. In appearance he respects him even, but the more deep-seated are his hatred and his efforts to oust him in Asia. In Germany the relation is totally different. Since 1860 the formerly modest, quiet and inoffep-ive German has decidedly fallen into the vice of se}f-admiration, and one has only to mention the spreading of the English lan guage all over the globe, the gigantic com mercial relations of Great Britain, ard the ubiquity of the Union Jack in all seas, to raise his anger ani his dislike.

“Apart from the aforesaid enemies Eng- land has of late estranged many of her former friends by her recently inaugurated policy in the near Kast. Whatever may be said atout the so-called Armenian ques tion, it will hardly be denied that the mo- tives, as well as the means, of a diplomat ic Campaiga against Turkey seem to many people inopportune and ill-chosen.”

There is much more on this subject, and the King of the Belgians concludes with the prophecy of many disturbances similar to last week, but fiaal British triumph over all adversaries.

Sl HILARY TEEM—SUPREME COURT, Fripay, Jan. 24. Joseph M. Egan vs, Solomon C. Clarke. This case wept to the jury at five o’clock lastevening. The jury, after an absence of over four hours, reported that they were usable to agree and were discharged. Saturpay. Jan, 25. At noon to-day His Lordship the Chief

Justice sentenced the prisdners found , ¢ Pp guilty during the term as follows:

The Queen vs. Michael Madden. Com

mon assault. Nine months imprisonment in the common jail.

The Queen vs. William McAleer. Com- mon arsault, Nine months imprisonment in the common jail.

Tne Queen ys. William McKinnon and Jolin Shepherd. Larceny from the Drill Shed. Three years imprisonment in Dor. chester Penitentiary. For larceny from Miss Jenkins, McKinnon was al«o sentenced t» three years in the penitentiary, the sen- tence to run concurrently wita the prey- ious one. For larceny from Geo. W. How- lan both prisoners were sentenced to three years in the Penitentiary, the sentence to run concurrently with the previous sen-

tences.

The Queen vs. Geo. Brown. Robbery with violence. Sev-n years imprisonment in Dorchester Penitentiary and ten lashes with the cat o’ nine tails, to be administer- ed at least twenty days before discharge.

In sentencing the prisoners McKinnon and Shepherd the Chief Justice said that he sent them to the penitentiary because they c uld be better managed there than in the jail, and besides they would learn a useful trade. In the jail they would as- sociate with bad characters, and the effect of this association would not be for their betterment. It was in their own interests, therefore, that he sentenced them to the penitentiary.

The Court stands adjourned until Mon- day, February 3rd.

MR WOODWORTH’'S LECTURE

Application to Bus-

iness Methods

Mr. Harry A. Woodworth’s lecture be— fore the students of the Charlottetown Business College this forenoon upon the “Art of advertising and its application to a business education,” was listened to by a large number of students and not a few of our leading men. Among those present we noticed the following: His Honor Lientenant-Governor Howlan, His Wor- ship Mayor Dawson, Rev. Mr. Corey, Mr. H. Haszard, ©. C, Mr. Benj. Rogers, M.L. A., Mr. John McLaren, of the firm of James Paton & Co; Mr. Harold Jen kins, Capt. F. W. L. Moore, Principals McSwain, Miller ard Seaman, Miss Payne, accompanied by one of her pupils, Master Walter Towan and quite a number of others. His Honor the Lieutenent-Gov- ernor occupied the chair.

Previous to His Honor’s arrival Princi- pal Miller andthe Rev. Mr. Corey ad- dressed the class at some length speaking on matters in general, and both paid a tribute to the attention and time given to educational matters by our present Gov ernor.

Principal Miller said be had always found His Honor most kind and ever wil- ling to lend a helping hand. He had by his presence and kindly words greatly stim ulated the students in their search f_r knowledge. It was not flattery for him to say se inasmuch as His Honor was not present.

Rev. Mr. Corey delivered a very neat and witty address, and before concluding strongly endorsed the sentiments of Prin- cipal Miller’s address.

His Honor then appeared and was re-

ceived by all present, especially the stu- dents, with great entiusiasm. He apo'o- gized for being a little tardy, but it was unavoidable. He at once introduced the lecturer. Mr. Woodworth was warmly received not only by the students but the merchants and other visitors. On rising he said this was his first lecture, and it might, perhaps, be his last. He said that when promising Principal Miller to deli- ver a lecture on this sutject he expected that the Principal would occupy the chair, but he was flattered to see His Honor in that capacity. After paying an eloquent tribute to His Honor, he proceeded to take up the subject of the lecture, which lasted well into an hour. It was replete with in- formation to the advertiser and student, every portion of which gave evidence of careful thought and consideration, and was delivered in such a manner that it won the applause of all. @BAt the conclusion Councillor Haezard made a short but practical address. He as well as the other speakers congratulat- ed the Jecturer and each took apcasion to congratulate the Principal on the high satus of the college.

Mr. McCourt also voiced his apprecia- tion of the leciure. Master Walter Towan, a boy ab ut six years of age, a member ot Miss Payne’s class, was then introduced to His Honor who introduced him to the visitors and students, and asked hitu if he would give a recitation, which he did in a most pleasing manner.

His Honor then gave a short address, and the session closed by singing the Nationa] Anthem.

an A CALL TO Siz,—Will vou allow me to call the at tention of the Temperance and Christian men and women ot the city .to the present operations of the Charlottetown Ciub, backed up, as no doubt they will be by the liquor men, A_ close observer will notice that this celebrated club, that has defied law and order, is putting up men of their own choice (most of whom are mem- bers of this beautiful club) for Mayor and Councillor in the several wards of the city. Wedo hope that the citizens, who are lovers of law and good citizenship, will lose no time in waiting for politicians to get their favorites out, bat call meet- ing in the warde and select a clean Tem- perance ticket for Mayor and Councillors. Yours for the righ‘, J. A. Lawsen.

ARMS.

NO sie ISSUES.

Sin,—The anti-Scott Act men are striv- ing might and main to bring out what they are pleased to call “moderate men.” It sounds nice, but it is pure deception. We have had some fine specimens of mod- erate men at our Council Board. Excel- lent specimens! Hundreds of dollars in hand, which should be used only for the enforcement of the Act, and the Inspec- tors kept on starvation salaries! I: is de- voutly to be wished that a full and square temperance ticket be placed before the electors of Charlottetown, of men who are willing to sink politics and creed, men who are willing to stand or fall on prin- ciple. There is no such thing in the Bible as moderation in evil. The word ‘tem- perance’ means moderation in that which is right, and total abstinence from that which is wrong. ‘Abstain from the very appearance of evi!.” Let there be no side issues. Let the contest be for our boys and our homes. )

INFORMATLON WANTED

Sir,—Your correspondent “Inquirer? ’in yesterday’s Examiner asks Mr. Haszard to publish his requisition from citizens who desire him to accept nomination for the office of Mayor, and asks it Mr. Has- zard is the nominee of the Citizens’ Lea. gue. It may be asked with equal propri- ety is Mr. Dawson the nominee of the Citizens’ League? it has not yet appear- ed that the Citizens’ League have piaced their nominees for mayor and council be- fore the electors as has been announced in the Guardian that they were todo. How is this ?

ANOTHER INQUIRER. sae A MEMBER SPEAKS,

Sir,—Asa member of the Citizens’ League I desire to know which candidate are we to support. Mr. Dawson, the old mayor, or Mr. Haszard, the new candi- date. Will our President call a meeting of the League at an early day so that we can be in a position to know how to act on election gay. We must go to the polls as a solid body or we should not go at all. Our first blow in election matters should be an effective one.

Gaudet for a one-mile race, which I have pleasure in accepting, and would name Hillsborough Rink, Tuesday night, Jan. 28th, as the place and time for said race, as Messrs, Dawson and Rogers offered a medal to the winner if skated there and then.

It rebuilds the wasted tissues of the nerves and makes them strong again. It restores avd invigorates the whole system, and is just the remedy needed by the sufferer from nervous dypepsia, nervous debility, general prostration or the “run down” condition following an attack of grippe or other disease, Hawker’s ,nerve and stom- ach tonic grows in favor year by year as a great flesh and blood builder and nerve and brain invigorator, the friend of the over-taxed human system.

GENTLEMEN—In compliance with the wishes of a large number of citizens, and in response to the numerously signed requisition presented to me,I have decided to nominate for the Mayorality at the forthcoming Election, and would take this opportunity of soliciting your support.

f elected, I shall endeavor at all times to act impartially, giving justice to all, favors to none. It shall be my aim to see that the affairs of this City are conducted with the strictest economy commensurate with its requirements and that the rate of taxation be kept down to the Jowe-t figure consistent therewith.

I shal] continue to stand up for the citi- zen’s rights both as regards the Roadway to Victoria Park and all other questions which may arise. I believe that all laws at present in force, or that may hereafter be enacted, should be faithfully carried out.

Iam cpposed to the expenditure of any public moneys_in defiance of the well un— derstood wishes of the people.
