Tue Dairy EXAMINER.

JULY 11, 1882.

Tne Queen’s County Election.

We understand that Judge Alley to-day decided to reject all ballots cast at the late election in Qveen’s County that do not bear on their back the initials of the Deputy Returning Officer at the Polling Division where such ballots were cast. By this decision, some five or six bundred eléétors have been disfranchised, with the result that Messrs. Davies and Jenkins will likely be returned as elected, The recount is not quite over; but there is little doubt that Messrs. Davies and Jenkins have the majority of properly initialed ballots. We shail endeavor to obtain the Judge's deci sion for pub-ication as we are informed that it is a very able and Incid exposition of the law.

——_—_—

Dr. Jenkins and the Asylum.

Havine published at length the evidence with reference to the recent escapes from the Hospital for the Insane, we have not deemed it necessary to express an opinion whieh, we have no doubt, every reader of ‘fur Examiner.was capable of forming for himself or herself... Nor have we heard atrong expressions of “ indignation”. or ‘surprise’ except from Dr. Jenkins.

Everyone, of course, deplores the terrible death of the unfortunate Oliver; and we think few will be found to say that his guard was sufficient, or that the alarm raised and the seacch made were such as

the importance of the case demanded.

Still, while we are decidedly of opinion that a recurrence of such cases as have recently occurred would seriously affect the Asylum and afford good cause for a change of management, we are not, in view of all the circumstances, disposed to indulge iu strong language of denunciation, and to demand, with Dr. Jenkins, the dis- charge of either Dr, Blanchard or Mr. McPhail.

Admitting that some mistakes have been

made and that injury and death have been the result, we fear there is no physician, however efficient and careful—not even Dr. Jenkins himself—- who can, in the Scriptural sense, cast the first stone at [r. Blanchard. Nor do we think that the two really terions charges which (among hun- dreds of frivolous and baseless ones) have been proven, are sufficient to justify the statement that the Asylum is ‘‘ a reproach and a by-word.” In point of fact, we have repeatedly heard the Asylum spoken of in the highest terms by men (uninterested men) most capable of giving a sound judg- ment; and we bave heard physiciars of the highest standing express their belief in Dr. Blanchard’s knowledge and skill as a ‘‘min- ister to the mind diseased.” As for Mr. McPhail, his appointment was made with the greatest care. He has long been a trusted public servant; and, indeed, it would be difficult to find a man more @arnestly devoted to his duties--more reliable and trustworthy.

Bearing in mind, then, that all men are fallible, would the Government be justitied just now, in making the changes in the management of the Asylum which Dr. Jenkins most anxiously desires? Where are fitter men to be obtained? This is a question which the Trustees of the Institu- tion must consider ; and it will be admitted that,even with one who can use denunciat- ing language as vigorously as Dr. Jenkins to advise them, the solution of the problem would be a matter of some difficulty. If by a mere change of management all escapes could be prevented, and every- thing connected with the Asylum would go right, then we should at once say ‘‘ make the change.” But the experience of all time proves that there is neither hope or likehhood of this.

But, while there is not yet, in our. opin- ion, sufficiént cause for a radical change ef management, which would probably not result in an. improvement of the efficiency of the Hospital staff, it is quixe clear that ** escapes” should be at once advertised as widely as possible, and that lunatics shonld not, in future, be left to the custody of the farmer alone. To this end we hope that stringent rules will be adopted; and we would also suggest that when the Resident” Superintendent obtains leave of absence, the trustees should require that another capable physician should remain resident in the Hospital while he is away. It is not right that, in atime when atten dants are apt to be even more inattentive than when the master is at hand, and when the patients are apt to be doubly alert for opportanities of escape, the Sapervisor shonld be saddled with all the responsibi- bility and care ordinarily borne by both himself and the Medical Superintendent.

Tus Victoria (B. C.) Standard says:—Few people have a really accurate idea as to the amount of money placed in circulation by the sealing schooners employed on the grouuds off the west coast. But during the last two or three days the principal streets have been throsged by Indians, who having just receiv- ed their pay for the season’s catch, spend it freely, aud thus attract considerable attention. There are fourteen schooners engaged in the sealing trade, and all but three, the Mary Ellap, Anna Beck, and Kate have returned to port within a week or so, The catch of. seals

r schooner dur‘ng the season was as follows— Saward 996, Mary Ellen 987, Favourite 959,

Dolphin 921, Thornton 918, Black Diamond $07, |

Anna beck and Alfred Adams about 800 each. Grace 840, W. P. Sayward 744, Juanita 619, Kate 500 te 600, Triumph 220, and Winifred 170. With this showing, therefore, the sea- son's work may be regarded as very ercour- aging. Four of the fleet—the Thornton, On- ward, Anna Beck, and Grace—are steamers. —_~ —+<-e +

Ix the British House of Commons on the 8th inst., Lord Treveleynan, Chief Secretary of treland, introduced an amendment to the Repression Bill to the effect that the right of search should be limited to daytime, except in cases of secret societies. The amendment was strongly opposed by Conservatives and others, and was defeated on a vote of 207 to 195 The vote, however, is not looked upon as a party vote, and Mr. Gladstone has decided to accept the decision of the House. The Standard says the defeat of the amendment ‘will not overthrow the Ministry but is another nail in its coffin,”

_Tue businets transacted by the City Coun- cil last evening was generally unimportant. A number of bills were passed. The nuisance at Mr. Bolger’s Hotel was discussed at length, but no action was taken, and the attention of the Pumps and Wells Committee was directed to a number of pumps said to be dry or out of repair.

Ceti AO

The Grits and the Conf-deration.

Tue editor of the Patriot is determined to make thepecple of this Island dissatistied with their condition in the Confederacy — if possible. It is impossible to see what good can now be attained by pursuing such a course. For good or evil we thrown in our lot with the other Provinces ; and as iar as this Island is concerned the Liberals are at least as responsible for Con- federation as the Tories.

In order to show the public what the Liberal leaders thought about Confede raticn in 1873, when they tried to get us into the Union with a subsidy of $26,000 a year less than we now receive, we will give a few exiracis from their speeches in the House of Assembly. At that time Pope ind the Liberal-Conservative Party con- tended that we should get better terms than those negociated by Laird and Hay thorne. On this point Mr. Laird is report- ed as follows, on page 71 of the Reporter :

“If we, therefore, except the present offer, and enter the D.minion with an allowance of $45 per head, as our assumed debt, we shall have a decided advantage over the other pre- vinces, as the public debt of Canada will never, except in case of war, reach that amourt per head of her population. Indeed, there is every reason to believe that the debt of Canada will not amount to as muck per head twelve years hence as it is at present raking these facts into consideration, how can the hon. leader ot the Government make out a case and show that justice has not been done this Island in the terms at present offered, when he goes on this delegation to Ottawa to seek for better terms ?”

Again on page 125 he is reported as follows : —

‘‘Tastead of their taking away anything, we sbdall receive more than the Revenue collected by them, on this Island. As time rolls on the manufactures of the Domi- nion will increase, and we shall import more and more of their goods, which will greatly reduce the amount of duties collected here. Many of the American manufacturers have moved across the border into Canada, aad have established manufactures of mowing mach nes and agriculcural implements. All these and a great variety of othec manufactures will so increase, that instead of Canada taking away money for duties collected here, it wii be far otherwise. I believe they will gt no more revenue from this Colony ten years hence than they will this year, if we enter the Dominion.”

Again, on Page 225, he says in reference to taxation-—

“That taxation is actually decreasing, though the numbers of their public works are constantly increasing, and extending in magni- tude and number trom the Atlantic to the Pacific, 1 rejoice, therefore, to see a prospect so bright before vs, and of uniting with such a good, great, and glorious country.”

These were some of Mr. Laird’s opinions in 1873. We will quote Mr. L. H. Davies as his remarks appear in the reporter of same date, page 97 :—

** The great quéstion was fully discussed in every hamlet and schoolhouse in the country, and there vias hardly a man who did not understand it in ail its bearings. The result of that election was that there is to-day, in this House, only one man who opposes a union with Canada, and he is not to the fore, while the question is being discussed.”

On Page 144, Mr. Davies continued in the following brilliant strain :—

‘The population of Canada will go on in- creasing. Her vast and fertile territory will et be the home of millions; and the extent of her mineral and Manufacturing resources are so great, that we may look forward with pride to the prospective future of the of the Domin- ion of Canada, I believe my hon. friend, the junior member for New London, did not over- strain the argument when he said that, in looking forward ten years, he saw that mag- nificent country peopled with agriculturists, artizans and laborers, to an extent now little thought of. Yes, when its resources become fully developed, it will become a great and powerful country. It is now but rising, as it were, to take possession of its vast, rich and various resources, and were I to enlarge to a greater extent in depicting her future, I feel L would still not overestimate what will yet be realized.

So enthusiastic was Mr. L. H. Davies in favor of Union then that he invoked the shades of the dead in the following ‘fashion :-—

‘-This is the one-hundredth year of our Parliamentary history as a separate Colony; and, Sir, when I look up at the portraits of so many of those who have occupied the Speaker's chair within that time,some of whom are still living, and otbers who are not, I inclme to believe if they were all here to-night, and had a voice in this Assembly, they would only be too happy to record a vote with us to night.”

The following is the peroration to his speech :—

Yes, Mr. Speaker, I feel inclined to look forward to the high political calling which is set before us, and to which we are called in the Dominion of Canada. (Laughter and applause. )

On page 227, Mr. Sinciair went into the glorification after the following fashion :—

«In going into Confederation, we will have as much freedom as we now enjoy. We are but entering into partnership vith one of more influerce and skill than we possess. For some years to come we will rot require to in- crease Our taxes, and supposing that in the course of seven or eight years we will require to raise $50,0° 0, it will only smount to halfa dollar a head. In the meantime, see what an amount of commercial freedom we shall enjoy The manufactures of Canada, which now pay a duty of 15 per cent., will come in free. We | will receive more than we give. We are uniting with a country that will manufacture all that we require. No argument which has been advanced in opposition to the course taken meets the case.”

On page 119, we find Mr. Stewart credit- ed with the following brilliant para- graph :—

**Tam not one of those who am a Confed- erate from necessity. I can look forward with pleasure to the time when we shail form a part of the great Dominion which extends from the Atlantic to the Pacific. I see before me a great territory, rich in agriculture, min- eral, and.resources. for mechanical improve ment, not excelled in any part of the world. Why, Sir, we are about uniting with a coun- try of which we may justly feel proud; with a people who have sprung from the same race, speak the same language; who are governed by the same laws, and who are animated with the same hopes and desires as we cherish among ourselves. Why then should we have any horrors about Confederation? I am, therefore, sorry that the hon. Leader of the Government should think of pursuiug a course which will only add delay and expense, with- ont producing any beneficial results to the Colony.

Mr. Benjamin Davis contributed the fol-

have |

lowing to the argument advanced by his party :-—

‘A great many kinds of goods manufac- tured in Canada, would, under Confederation, come in here duty free, suchas winter clothing, blankets, boots and shoes, mowing machines,

| &c., upon which we now pay a duty of fifteen per cent. He was of opinion, all things ¢ n- | sidered, that we should be yvreat gainers by | accepting the terms now offered us, and he | believed that the great body of the people | entertained a similar opinion,” These, and similar arguments, were ad- vanced at that time by the Patriot’s politi- eal gods to prove that we would be well off |in Confederation with $26,000 a year levs ithan we afterwards received. We suggeet ‘to the editor of the Patriot, when he again | gets puzzled to know why Dominion Day [is celebrated on the Island, that he take an {hour or two reading the speecies of his friends before we went into Corfederation. They are, and were, good Grits; and r ad- ing their speeches might throw some light on the subject.

Jottings on Men and Things.

—The English love of reality! What a sham it often is. The humor of it is very amusing, but the pathos of the same is no less depressing. It is the fashion of so- called society and well-bred people to ex- pressively admire what they silently detest. They flatter with their tongue and dis- semble in their heart. Bland adulation and fawning sycophancy are bestowed upon negligent workers within the charmed circle, but woe betide the worn and weary plebeian when his work is criticised. How otten does the washerwoman pray that the few dollars owing to her may be paid at once, or the horny-handed son of toil look in vain for the fruits of his labors?

—There is ancther aspect of these sham manners which deserves a passing notice. This may be termed the diplomacy of society. Napoleon, when about to appoint an ambassador, used to enquire if the pro- posed diplomatist could lie well. That qualification was, to Napoleon, a sine qua non King James thought that with- ont the art of lying, a king was not worthy to reign. He called it ‘* King-craft.” Sam Slick called it * soft-sawder.” The opinion of Lord Bacon was that lying, just like alloy in metals, was a debasement, but good for the working. A great ambassador defined an ambassador to be ‘ an honest man sent to lie abroad for the good of his country.” This duplicity, — lying is the real name,— permeates the whole social fabric. Clergymen call it “‘mental reser- vation.” The politician says it is “* looking after my friends.’”” The barrister doesn’t know what it is; it is ‘‘ professional work ” with him. Importers of goods call it ** taking in the custom house.” Auctioneers call it ‘* business,” and editors—well, we must draw the line there. But society diplomacy is the choicest species of dupli city. It welcomes you when it wishes you absent. Under its supposed regenerating influences, the language becomes changed, so that ‘‘not at home” is now accepted as meaning just the reverse. The pious ex- pression ‘‘ Good bye” (God be with you) could often be more truly translated as ‘* The d 1 take you.” Why do we not try to be sternly true, saying the thing we mean, or else being for ever silent? No! it is the same old story; we prefer to follow the whims of a cankerous conventionalism and the surface polish of a spurious civili- zation.

—During the past years nothing, perhaps, has been so much belied as the substance called *‘ coffee.” The English Chancellor of the Exchequer has been perplexed at the fact that the duties on coffee were gradually decreasing. In 1851 the revenue from this source of income was five millions sterling; now it yields about one-third of that sum. What is the cause of this? A short time ago thirty-seven purchases were made of samples of ‘‘ coffee” ip London shops On analysis two only of all the samples were proved to be genuine coffee, while the _ re- maining thirty-five parcels were found to be coffee, mixed with different chemical and physical properties, and of entirely different value to coffee. The heterogenous array of substances called ‘‘ coffee,” and which threatened to strangle the coffee trade altogether, were discovered to be beans, malt, roasted grain, dried carrots, acorns, saw-dust, roasted cabbage stalks and dandelions. The Executive have at last wrestled with the ‘‘lie,’’ and any sub- stance whatever prepared in imitation of coffee or chicory, or called by their names, or mixed with them, cannot be sold with- out now incurring heavy penalties. The moral of this is that housekeepers should purchase the ‘‘ bean” anc grind it them- selves.
