Editorial Notes.

— Seven or eight hundred Icelanders will settle in Manitoba this year, no Govern- ment assistance being given, the emigrants all paying their own through fares, though the Icelandic residents of Manituba have contributed 20,000 kroners, equal to £1,008, towards the passage money.

It is with great regret we learn of the death of Dugald McNutt, Esq., uf the firm of D. & P. McNutt, of Maipeque. Mr. McNutt died yesterday afternoon. He has been a great sufferer the past two or three years from neuralgia. By his death the comunity in which he lived has suffered a heavy loss, and the Ceouservative party in this Province a staunch friend and influen- tin] supporter.

—The city of Toronto is to have a College fur women. The new College is to be under the government of the Senate of the McMaster University. To an active mem- ber of the Senate, the e iitor of the C. E. M. said, ‘“*l hope the College for women will be Christian, but not sectarian ;” he replied, ** it wili be as Catholic as Queen's University, Kingston.” It is expected that the new institution will afford women the highest culture under the best conditions.

~The Rev. Mr. Cobb of Flushing, Long Island, recently addressed the Alumni Association of Union Seminary, New York; and in the course of his remarks spoke as tollows :—

*“‘It was amatter of statistics that the greatest amount of crime was where publip edacation was general. Comparing Mas sachusetts with Virginia, while the greatest illiteracy (among the white population) exist- ed in the latter, the larger proportion of crime was in theformer. The same was true of Connecticut and Alabama. Knowledge was power, butthe power could be used both ways for goodor for evil. It made the person more capable of committing crime. With education must be inculcated obedience to the Commandments of God.”

— We learn that Mr. Leslie E. McLeod, the well-known assis‘ant editor of Wallace's Monthly, was selected, a few weeks ago, by the Hon. Norman J. Colman, Commission. er of Agriculture for the United States, to write an exhaustive article on the trotring horse of America, for the annual report of the Department of Agriculture. Mr. Me- Leod may well feel complimented sud pleased, considering that many older and more experienced horsemen were available, and would have been glad of the mark of distinction which the highest agricultural authority in the great Republic has placed upon him. Having obtained the respect of such men as Mr. Colman, Mr. McLeod can affurd to treat with contempt the disparage- ment of anunymous scribblers and others in his native land.

—A good deal of feeling was evoked last evening by the fact that postage stamps could not be purchased in the town. The vender of postage stamps has been dis- charged, the office in the corridor closed, and not 4 stamp could be obtained at the registration wicket after six o'clock. This may seem to officials of the Postal Depart ment a small matter; and so it is. But it affects, every day, large numbers of citizens, sends them running over the town to the drug stores and hotels, and causes trouble and annoyance. The vendor's wicket in the corridor should be reopened at once, if not by a vendor who sells on commission, by-me of the post office clerks. In other

cities s.amps are easily obtainable, and letters are carried to the residences of the citizens to whom they are directed. But we in Charlottetown can neither get stamps as we want them nor have our letters taken to our doors.

—There are five presidential tickets in the field in the United States. First in im- portance are the Demucratic and Republi- can nominees, Cleveland and Thurman and Harrison and Morton. In the second place are the Prohibitionists with Clinton B. Fiske and John A. Brooks as standard bearers, and the united labor party with Re ert H. Cowdrey and W. H. Wakefield ss first and second place men. Last of all

is the Equal Rights aggregation, who are febting under the banner of Belva Ann Lockwood and Alfred H. Love, with Belva probably the best man ofthetwo. Neither

he Prohibitionists nor the labor party hope for any good results. The one is encouraged by the Democrats as likely to draw votes trom the Republicans, and the other by the Republicans in the hope that it will do a like kind turn to the adminis- tration party, and it is openly hinted that the money that keepsthe Fiske and Cow- drey boomlets going comes from men who have uot the slightest sympathy with the aiias of either.

FRIDAY, JULY 6. i888.

Things One Doesn't Like to See.

I don’t like to see the watering cart out so seldom. There’s dust enough flying about to keep the cart actively engaged day and night,

I don't like to see young men racing

about the sidewalks on bicycles. It may | be fun for the riders, but it is dangerous | for pedestrians, | | don’t like to see three or four girls march up the sidewalk abreast, compelling the male pedestrian to take to the street to | Jet them pass. Such conduct shows a lack ' of manners to say the least. I don’t like to see so much fast driving / on our principal streets. So great is this nuisance that at times it is positively dan- gerous to cross the street. The police should move in the matter of abating the nuisance.

I don’t like to see so many drunken men and boys reeling about our streets. It shows that liquor of a very intoxicating character is freely sold contrary to the pro- visions of the Canada Temperance Act. Temperance men should try to effect a re- form in this direction,

I don’t like to see so many changes made in the postal service. The last change pro- hibits the sale of registration stamps after 6 p. m., greatly to the inconvenience of many persons who cannot get to the oflice during the day. The public are certainly entitled to better accommodation, in this respect at least, than they are getting.

I don’t like to see so many young men standing about the street corners during

} the day and evening, chewing tobacco and

indulging in language not fit for the ears of respectable people. If persons must chew tobacco they should de so where their expectorations will not disgust every- one but themselves.

I don’t like to see a girl munch candy or any other species of confectionery at an en- tertainment. Such conduct is very reprehen- sible.

I don’t like toe see a person who is fair to one’s face and deceitful behind one’s back. Such people may flourish for a time, but their actions tell on them when they least expect it.

1 don’t like to hear one woman tell an- other that her bonnet or dress looks ¢harm- ing, and in the next breath rush off and tell her friends that So-and-So has « aew bon- netor dress which makes her look a perfect fright. Next to having something new herself, there’s nothing the average women likes so well as to ridicule what sume other person wears.

bily because he is rich, any more than | like to see a poor man dress flishily in order to create the impression that he is well off in this world’s goods.

I don’t like to see the newest and con- sequently the slowest clerks in the Post Office placed at the delivery wicket during a rush after the arrival of the foreign mail, while the older clerks stalk about talking horse or politics.

I don’t like to see a bank official or Government employe who draws a large salary, live so high that he is never out of debt, while the hard-working mechanic jogs along comfortably on $8 or $10 a week. The two should change places for a while.

I don’t like to see intelligent persons argue in favor of predestination because one man escapes all the ills that flesh is heir to and is finally killed by a train, or an- other passes unscathed through several wars and finally succumbs to whooping cough or measles.

I don’t like to see the habit some persons have of tying their horses to the orna- mental trees planted throughout the city. If an example were made of some of the offenders there would be Jess of such con- duct in.the future.

I don’t like to see the way some people have of sacrificing the comforts and plea- sures of life in order that they may amass money. Such people are of little use to the community in which they live, and after their death their relatives recklessly squan- der the money which they strived so hard to obtain.

I don’t like to see people who disapprove of lectures or entertainments hang about the neighborhood of the hall or theatre wherein the lecture or entertainment is in progress, trying to steal a look at the lec- turer or see or hear what is going on. Last night a great many peuple took up positions on the Square outside Market Hall during the progress of the lecture, when they could have heard the whole discourse for fifteen cents. But of course it was not the admis- sion fee that kept them outside; it was principle.

I don’t like to see people when speaking of another person who is present, refer to him or her as ‘the’ or ‘* she,” or indicate the individual spoken of by a nod of the head or a jerk cf the thumb. It is much better and just as easy to cal] the person by name.

I don’t like to see a person going about town with his hands in his pockets com- plaining about the way he has been used by certain other persons, instead of setting about doing something which would give the parties injuring him to understand that he can live comfortably without their assist- ance.

I don’t like to see our people allow them- selves to be taken in by every foreigner who hsxppens to cast his lot with us for a brief period. If we were to assist ourselves more and foreigners less, the community would be much better off.
