THE DAILY EXAMINER,
Temperance Convention.
TEMPERANCE MEN PRINCIPLE
IMPORTANT RESOLUTIONS DETERMINED TO STAND ON IRRESPECTIVE OF PARTY.
A CONVENTION of temperance electors of Queen's County was held in Templar’s Hall, yesterday, for the purpose of considering what political action they would take in the approaching local election. Rev. Mr. Mason. of New London, was elected Chair- man, and the undersigned Secretary.
After considerable discussion on the ad- visability of bringing out Prohibition Candi- dates in the several Electoral Districts, the following resolutions were unat.imously adopted :
Whereas, The experience of the past has convinced us that moral suasion alone is in- adequate to stay the evils of intemperance, and that the liquor traffic is not only a moral, but also a political evil, and requires moral and political action to subdue it.
And Whereas, The electors of the several Electoral Districts of this Province will soon be asked to elect two persons to represent them in the next General Legislative Asserably of this Province, and as it is desirable that the said Assembly shall be composed of mem- bers favorable to temperance legislation and its enforcement.
Therefore Resolved,—That we respectfully and urgently recommend our temperance friends to take the following political action in the approaching local elections :—
First; That they attend their party conven- tions and vote for no man who will not pledge himself in writing, that if elected he will use his influence and vote to secure the better en- forcement of the ‘Canada Temperance Act ;” advise the appointment of temperance men to enforce temperance laws, and use his influence with the Dominion Parliament with the view of giving to each Province power to vote for the adoption of a law prohibiting with- in its own limits the manufacture and importation of intoxicating liquors, (except for absolutely necessary purposes), that the same may be decided by a majority vote of the electors, and at a special election.
Second—lIf both parties nominate men who are thus pledged, and the candidates are equally reliable, then we can vote within
party lines; if, however, either refuses to pledge, then let us support, regardless of party ties, the men who favor our views.
Third—lf neither party nominates reliable men willing to pledge themselves, then let us unite and nominate Independent Prohibition Candidates.
Committees were appointed for each Electoral District of the County, to inter- view the candidates already in the field or who shall offer, and get their assent in writing, for publication, to the foregoing resolutions, and in the event of the candi- dates not assenting, then to organize their District and nominate an Independent Pro- hibition Candidate.
Ordered that the proceedings of the Con- vention be published in the several news- papers.
The Convention adjourned to meet again on Nomination Day.

Condemned a Cowardly Assault. Atamass meeting of the citizens of Arredondo, Florida, and surrounding country assembled reeently, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted :
Resolved, That it is the sense and wish of the citizens here assembled to give public ex- pression to the deep indignation which the community feels at the cowardly conduct of George Hi Sutherland, in recently making a craven assault upon the Rev. C. W. Dutcher, a minister of the gospel, while alone and wn yrotected and suffering from an illness, while a (Sutherland) was protected from a counter assault, or even from being resisted by a pistol in the hands of aa accomplice, while such minister was upon an errand of ministerial duties,
That we hereby express our unqualified con- demnation of the conduct of the said George W. Sutherland, and denounce it as cowardly and brutal and well calculated to reflect seriously upon the good order and peace: loving dispositions of the people of this com- munity; be it
Further Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to the Gainesville and Jacksonville papers for publication.
(Signed) W. P. WHITNEY, Secretary. Rey. Mr. Dutcher is well known here, having been stationed on the island for several years.

Presentation and Address.
Ix view of the interesting event which we chronicle elsewhere, a committee of the Choir of the Prince Street Methodist Brick Church waited last evening upon Miss Morris, and presented her with an orna- mental flower stand in silver and gold, accompanied by the following
ADDRESS:
Dear Miss Morris,-—Representing the Choir of the Methodist Brick Church, over which, for a number of years, you have pre- sided as Leader and Organist, we have great pleasure in presenting you with this small memento of our sincere affection and esteem.
Your ability, and the invariable cheerful- ness Which you have manifested toward those associated with you in this important part of church work, have always been an inspiration tous; and of the hours spent together we shall have many pleasant memories.
We congratulate you on the auspicious event of to-morrow, and trust that the flowers crowning the Epergne which we have the pleasure of presenting you, in their ae and fragrance may be emblematic of your life in the years to come.
On behalf of the Choir, J. R. DAVISON, KATIE KNIGHT, H. W. Finptay, Committee. Charlottetown, Ist June, 1886,

Canadian Fishermen Abroad.
An interesting fact, brought out by the recent fishery troubles, is the large propor- tion of Canadians to be found in the Ameri- can fishing fleets. Captain Anderson, the smuggler, who raised such a row at Aspy Bay a few years ago, was a Canadian ; Capt. Kinney, who was seized at Digby the other day, is also a Canadian ; and two- thirds of all the crews of the United States fishing vessels are Canadians. If these Canadian fishermen find their occupation, or, at least, the profits of their occupation, gone, because of the unwise action of a few American fish-market men, the only thing that will remain for them to do will be to come home, fit out a fishing fleet, secure some of the many markets of the world, and build up the Canadian fishing industry, so that it will be without a rival on the globe. This can be done. All it requires is a little perseverance and a little energy. As things now are, and have been, it ap- pears too bad that, with the best fisheries and the best fishermen in the world, both our fish and our men should go to add to the wealth and strength of another nation.
