THE DAILY EXAMINER.

Partial Prohibition.

Tue new Railway Bill, carried through the Dominion Parliament by the Hon. Mr. Pope embodies a most stringent prohibitory clause. It is as follows :—

‘* Every person who sells, gives, or barters any spirituous or intoxicating liquor to or with any servant or employe of any company while on duty is liable on summary conviction toa penalty not exceeding fifty dollars or toimprisonment with or without hard labour for a period not exceeding one month or to both.”

The Credit of Canada.

Ir is a significant fact that the credit of Canada now stands higher in the British money market than that of any other part of the Empire. Ten times the amount of the C. P. R. bonds lately placed upon the market was promptly subscribed; but a loan of the Government of New Zealand, floated at the same time, was only moder- ately successful. It seems probable that Sir Charles Tupper’s loan of this year will be the best ever placed upon the market in London. Nor is it necessary now to show the British investor only ‘the silver side

ot the shield.”

The Printer as a Journalist.

Tue Hon. Amos J. Cummings, of New York, delivered, on the birthday of George W. Childs, a speech which is pertinent to the question lately raised by the Pioneer. We quote :

‘**The type-setter and proof-reader become editors unconsciously. The evolution from the case into editorial life is as natural as the evolution of a butterfly from a _ chrysalis There is nothing marvellous about it. The true typo will develop into the true editor, if time and opportunity serve. No careless or incompetent printer ever became a competent editor. No plodding blacksmith can ever be- come a skilled machinist. I have seen many aman taken from the case and thrown into an editorial room, and all but one became suc- cessful and accomplished reporters, editors and correspondents.

** The one exception was thus delineated by the tongue of an old jour.: ‘I don’t wonder that he failed as an editor, for he had the dirtiest proofs of any man in the office.’

‘* The qualities that make a man an efficient compositor are the very qualities requisite to make him an influential editor.

** Let us see how they are developed. The true printer's devil is something more than an imp. In the fermentation of his nature he presents many curious contrasts. His deviltry may throw the whole town into hysterics, but it quickly passes from a physical to an intel lectual stage. He mounts a candle-box and learns the alphabet at the case. The calibre of the boy is quickly seen. The types have opened a new world to him. They attract him by night and by day. His ‘ stent’ is hard. ly done before he is at work for himself. Fugi- tive sketches and local sarcasms are printed on slips and circulated by his eager hands. He drinks in the comments of his acquaint- ances on the emanations of his brain, and is spurred to renewed efforts.

** There are probably few compositors within the sound of my voice who cannot recall some such experience The boy sets the town agog anew by his intellectaal efforts. Gradually he becomes a journeyman. He learns the art of punctuation and the use of capital letters and italics. He unconsciously develops a literary taste, and becomes a critic. The rules of com- position set themselves in his mind without effort. The marks of the preof reader annoy him, and many a wordy dispute follows, but

ilways inuring to the mental benefit of the cy po. ey The news of the day is ever before his eyes. He gets it in scraps known as ‘takes,’ and these scraps incite a thirst for information that is only satisfied by a careful perusal of the daily newspapers. Standard works flow into the editor's sanctum, and magazines and exchanges. Some of them fal! under the eyes of the apprentice. He may devote a few of his nights to dissipation, but there will be much burning of midnight oi!, Dickens, Bulwer, Thackeray, Marryatt, Cooper, Seott, Hawthorne, and even Ned Buntline may be digested. Macaulay, Rollin, Gibbon, Ban- croft and Motley may be read. The life of Napoleon and Lamartine’s descriptions of scenes in the Reign of Terror will ever fasci nate such young compositors. ‘the poems of Tom Moore, Walter Scott, Robert Burns, Byron, Shakspeare, and other great bards will pass through his mental hopper. The aphor- isms of Ben Franklin will radiate in his at- mosphere While at work distributing type and correcting proofs, he will find himself un- wittingly discussing the news of the day and entering into political controversies. If he hes any originality in the field of thought, it is sure to be developed and strengthened day by day, hour by hovr, minute by minute. He is ever working in the domain of in- tellectuality, and is ever drawing inspiration from the fertility of his surroundings. When a journeyman printer, his mind is broadened anew. He deserts the home news- paper and wanders from city to city, He verifies by travel what he has read. His kaowledge is no longer theoretical but practi- eal. He becomes self-reliant and politic in his dealings. He gains a knowledge of the country surpassed only by his knowledge of human nature. At times he suffers penury

and bitter disappointments; but anon for- tune gleams anew on his pathway, and, strengthened by his adversity, he again lopes over the trail of life with all the freshness of youth.

” lhe ramblingSpropensity dies away with the weight of years, and a desire for the com.

THE DAILY EXAMINER, ~~~ -

forts of life supplant it. The newspaper has not lost its glamor for the wanderer. He is now a seasoned printer, with a seasoned mind, seasoned habits and a seasoned ambi- tion.

Where could a better editor be found? Where one more effiicent? No school of training could be more thorough. All the elements that make up a great editor have been exercised and knit firmly in the heydey ot life. The successful editor is the one who collects the news of the day and presents it to his readers in the most concise and attractive form. He must be sure of his facts, and he must clothe them conscientiously. But it is essential that he should know what news 1s before he essays to collect it.

‘‘ Who is there so competent to select news as the careful compositor—the man who has been sifting it all his life? Who is so able to sense the newspaper demands of the people? He has been among them and of them in his wanderings, and in his character as editor he is still of and among them. He moulds his editorial expressions of thought from an ex- perience born from a direct association with those interested. He speaks by the card alone. His ticket to newspaper prosperity 1s unpunched by collegiate education, bat it isa ticket readily recognized by the people, and one that frequently passes, its owner into the realm of wealth and the fane of fame. The born printer, Mr. Chairman, is the born editor.

**Some say that a new era is dawning in journalism; that men educated in collegiate schools are assuming the helm; that wsthetic methods are to be applied to the columns of the new newspapers dotting the land like mushrooms in a sheep pasture; that a web of newspaper trusts is to cover the country and secure the patronage of the people, and that all the old journals must follow suit or go to the wall.

** Alithis may go for what it is worth. The past shows that the people have recognized the printing office as the true school of jour- nalism, and I fancy that it will hold good in the future.”

Bishop Courtney.

VISIT TO ST. ELEANOR’S AND SUMMERSIDE— CONSECRATION AND CONFIRMATION SER- VICES—LARGE CONGREGATIONS—-MASTERLY ADDRESSES.

Bishop Courtney arrived at Summer- side on Saturday at noon. Accompanied by the Rector (Rev. C. F. Lowe) he proceeded to the residence of H. Green, Esq., where, after partaking of some refreshment, he held a reception lasting from 3 to 4 p. m. Many called upon His Lordship and were charm- ed by his manner and conversation. After the reception he received an address which was read and presented by the Rector; and delivered, in reply, an eloquent address. In the evening he walked out accompanied by theRev. C. F. Lowe, and saw the town.

On Sunday His Lordship was Celebrant

at the early morning Communion service held in St. Mary’s, Summerside; and at 11 o'clock he administered the Apostolic mite of Confirmation to twenty-two persons in ithe old parish Church at St. Eleanor’s The church was over-crowded. The choir occupied the new church for the first time, and the singing was good and hearty. The Bishop delivered an address which held the large congregation spell-bound. His Lord- ship dined with W. T. Hunt, Esq. At3 o'clock, p.m., he proceeded to dedi- cate the new chancel, and afterwards to consecrate the new burial ground presented to the Church by Dr. Heckman in memory of his wife. For this purpose, a procession was formed at the Church, the Bishop going first, then the Rector, and then the Churchwardens, W.T. Hunt and George Compton, Esquires, and proceeded around the new burial ground, the Bishop conse- crating it according to the rites and cere- monies of the Church of England. After re-entering the Church, the Bishop de- livered an appropriate and eloquent address on the use of the Chancel and the consecra- tion of the burial ground.. The Church was crowded.

At 7 p.m., evensong wassung in St. Mary’s Charch, and the rite of confirmation was administered to twenty-two candidates making 43 inthe parish. The Church was crowded to suffocation. Bishop Court- ney delivered a very able and eloquent address.

It relieves the little sufferer at once; it produces natural quiet sleep by relieving the child from pain; and the little cherub awakes as “bright as a button.” It is very pleasant to taste. It soothes the child, softens the gums, allays all pain, relieves wind, regulates the bowels, and 8 the best known remedy for diarrhea, whether arising from teething or other causes. Twenty-five cents a bottle. Be sure and ask for Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup, and take no other kind. [April 1 ’88

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

The Scott Act.

Sir,—It is patent to the most superficial observer that the Scott Act in Charlotte- town is a dead failure. Your correspondent ‘* Paul,” in Friday’s @XaMINER, puts the case well when he says that our citizens are figuratively kicking themselves for being so foolish as to have supported the Act at the last election. Our city is literally flooded with liquor. Steamers, sailing vessels and railway cars continually bring cargoes of liquor to our Seott Act bound coast, to be consumed by all those who have a mind to drink. Liquor can be obtained every- where ; and one hundred prosecutors as active and as eflicient as Henderson cannot stop its *‘ fiery flow.” I am told on good legal authority that another election for its repeal can be had at any time —our citizens need not wait for the three years’ expira- tion. Lf this be so, let us, in the name of all that is good and noble, ask for another election, set the Scoit Act aside, enact a new license law, and let the Supreme Court of this Province be the Licensing Board.

The Fountain.

Sin,—A ‘‘ Would-be Improver’s” suggestion to place a fountain in the Square, is not only goo, but well timéd. The funds will be forthcoming, as well tor this, as beautifying the Square. fall, the beauties of our Square were spoken of by a) tourist, as “ one of the best pieces of landscape gardening to be seen in a summer's travel through the provinces.” This, from a citizen of the ‘‘ Hub, ” should encourage us to keep the Square a thing of beauty ; and, with nice fountains to complete the display, it would be a joy forever.

If sutlicient money could be collected, how would it do to have the falling water caught in a large basin ot 12 or 15 feet diameter, the basin to have a cement bottom and _free- stone sides. Thesides can be made of many straight pieces, costing less than the circular kind. Mr. Newbery could have it made to suit. Then the overflow can be piped to the Post Office sewer.

It would be well to arrange for next sum- mer, as the water will not Se aviilable this season for the

Anxious to Meet Him.

Dear Srr,—Ia Toe Examiner of Satur- day last I noticed an advertisement signed **S. McDonald, Barber,” wherein it is stated that he has ‘‘come into possession of tifteen brick houses and $10,000 a year,” and ‘‘ that he is not married.” Now, I do not know Mr. McDonald either personally or by sight, but I should certainly like to meet him: He is evidently a young man, and, according to his own confession, un- married. This is strange. A man of his wealth should not be this long without a help-meet. There are many of us girls who would only be too happy to help him look after his wealth, and occupy one of his many brick houses. Speaking for myself I may say that I should like to cultivate his ac- quaintance, with a view to—well, who knows what? Never having seen the gentle- man, I am obliged to take this methed of becoming acquainted, and I trust he will not think ill of me for so doing. I can assure him that J am no adventuress, and that he need not be afraid of addressing me. I am stopping with a friend jn this city, and letters addressed to P. U. Box 698 will reach me.

P. S.—lI hope he will write soon and not keep me waiting.

In Luckx.—Recently James DeForest, of Bridgetown, N. S., made application to the U.S. Government fora pension and back pay, having been wounded while serving om the union side during the civil war. Last week, the attorney in Boston, through whom the claim was made, sent him a check for $100, bounty money, and notified him that another check for some $5,000, back pension, was chen in Boston for him, and that a further sum of $15 per month was to be paid him during the re- mainder of bis life. Mr. DeForest has left for Boston to settle up the business.
