Position.
Hon. Louis H. Davies glories in 1 Radical.” At the Long Creek moeting he admitted that no man in the country is more unpopular than he. Yet, he holds on to office. His action is of course in direct violation of the recognized canons o? Liberalism, or Radicalism. But his motives are gf vod. He wishes to see the Province ruled by the man who, in his modest opinion, is the ablest Administrator in the Province, and he wishes to assist his friends and his relatives as long as he pos- sibly can.
The position at present occupied by Pre- mier Davies presents striking ports of similarity to the position occupied by. President Mé¢Mahon. “France has vold ‘the latter that he must submit or resign. Prince Edward Island has told the former—in the most emphatic manner—and by every con- stitutional method that could be adopted— that he must either call an early session of the Legislature to amend his bungied and oppressive egislation or resign. Yet the Radical Davies, like the unyielding Presi- dent, will do neither. His concern forthe country and his relatives is so great that he cannot submit to Constitutional pressure. He holds on to office—though he knows and admits that he is the most unpopular man in the Province—and trusts to posterity to do him justice, vig
But there is one striking point in which the conduct of Premier Davies differs from that of President McMahon. Fair play for the President. He stuck to his office and to France. Though he might have covered himself with glory by assisting with his professional knowledge, and presence either the Russians or the Turks, though he might have enriched himself and gained some ul- terior benefits for France, he stood hy his duty, for the performance of which he deemed himself responsible, like a man. He never left France a single hour. But Pre- mier Davies has been in Halifax all sum- mer ; and works,for the faithful performance of which he alone is responsible to the people, he nonchalently passes over to Messrs. Longworth and Haszard, gentle- men who are not in any way responsible to the Province. The tenants groan under a double burden of rents and taxes; the whole Province complains aloud, while Pre- mier Davies earns professional honor and much eash in the service of the British Gov- ernment.
We condemnthe course pursued by Presi- dent MeMahon as dangerous to Constitu- tiona! liberty and Free Government. But the conduct of Premier Davies is equally wrong and infinitely more disgraceful, though not so dangerous.

FORGERY.
| ; \
| A resprcrabie looking stranger named |A. M. Hubley was this morning arraigned | before the Stipendary Magistrate on charge ‘of forging a promisory note of $600. Che note is drawn in favor of Mr. John D. Cur- rie, grocer, of Prince Street, signed by Hubley and endorsed by Mr. W. D. Har- rington, of Halifax, and James Currie, Esq., of this city, and Mr. John Currie, the per- son in whose favor it was drawn. l was purchased by Richard Heartz, Esq., who, on consulting the Messrs. Currie this Mnorning, discovered . it was not genuine. The City Marshal was acquainted of the matter, and in a quarte: of an hour succeed- ed in arresting Hubley. After arrest he [paid back the value of the note to Mr. Heartz. The evidence given by Mr. James
’ . a ‘ . ley, is very strong; and Mr. John D. Cur-
rie denies haying any transactions with Hubley. The case was postponed until to-
morrow.
school 9 hime Methods of Justice. The London correspondent of a Chicago paper was in attendance on the great de- tective case at the Old Bailey, and was astonished beyond measure at the methods of Enzlish justice: ‘‘There did not seem to be an impression among the opposing coun- sel that they were deadly enemies because , they happened to be engaged on opposite sides of the same case. ‘Their treatment of evch other was characterized by all the courtesy of gentlemen, such as one would tind at a dinner-table .or in the social inter- course of drawing room. The absence of unseemly squabbles, of the ill-tempered wrangles of counsel made me homesick ; and was an emphatic reminder that I was far from home, and among a strange, a singular people. My nostalgia was increased by the entire absence of anything like the bullying of witnesses. The man in the box was not made to believe that he was regarded as a deliberate perjurer. There seems to pre- vail here the singular—singular from an American legal standpoint—conviction that amancan bea witness on the other side without necessarily being a liar and a horse- thief, and treated accordingly.”
The London Times on the Fishery Commissioners’ Award.
A cablegram gives a London * 7
unsubstantial for serious argument ; nothing is more natural than his opinion that the concessions made by Canadians are over- valued. Awards are always compromises, and Saturday’s award was no exception. The sum fixed by the arbitrators cannot be disputed on the ground of its being exces- sive, nor can it be gravely urged that dis- sent of one arbitrator. nullitied the award, disputants did not.resliy bind themselves to
reference to arbitration illusory. We are quite satisfied that the United States Gov- ernment will. not contest the award on either of these grounds. All must regret that the award only amounts to a temporary settlement of the question. Each year the range of fisheries and capital employed will increase. and it may be difficult to bring
about an agreement on the expiration of the present arrangement. Incon-
yeniences are likely to ensue similar to those endured during the months preceeding negotiation of the Treaty of Washington. No diplomatist can be proud of that Treaty, but it is plain that there were inherent dif- ficulties in serving iwo masters, England and the Dominion. If the Canadians find fault with the conclusion they must first censure Sir John A. McDonald. We refer to these difficulties only to urge the more forcibly that the present opportunity should be seized for settling the fishery question forever, if possible, instead of waiting for the present concessions to terminate. The award affords the means, and if the Govern- ments at Ottawa and Washington be willing to avail themselves of them the award may be made the basis for arriving at the first approximation of the annual value of priv- ileges granted. The influence of the Col- onial Office ought.to have some weight at Ottawa. It certainly would not be used to overpower the Opposition of Canada. We do not recommend hastily pressing an im-

The Greatest Medical Discovery. since the Creation of Man, or since the Commencement of the Christian Era.
There never has been a time when the heal- ing of so many different diseases has been caused by outward application as the present. It is an undisputed fact that over half of the entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters.
DR. MELVIN’S Capsicum Porovs PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. All other plasters are slow of action, and require to be worn continually to effect a cure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the instant one is applied the patient will feel its effect.
Physiciansin all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or less used as a medieal agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- tages in a porous plaster have been discovered, Being, however, convinced of the wonderfu! eures effected by Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM Porous PLASTERS, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribe them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and back, and all such cases as have required the use of plasters orliniment, After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and
ou want a certain cure, ask your druggist for JR. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM PoROUS PLASTER. You can hardly believe yourown convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and quick in its action, you can rely on its safety for the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and other poisonous material comimonly used in the marufacture of ordin- ary plasters, One trialbis a suflicient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will sell hundreds to your friends. eal
Ask your druggist for Dr. MELVIN’s CAPstI- CUM POROUS PLASTER, and take nowther; or, on receipt of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or $2 for a dozen, they will be mailed, post paid, to any address in the United States or Canadas,
