Temperance in the Schools.

Wits unable to see eye to eye with the Grand Division in respect to all the methods which it has promoted for the abatement of the evil ef drunkenness, THe EXaMINER very cheerfully seconds the efforts it is about to make to-have the virtue of tem- peraace inculested in our public schools. In respect to this, as in respect to other necessary to begin with the young. It has been seen, over and over again, that laws against liquor drinking have little force upon men who have form- ed the drinking appetite and who live in & community which drunkenness is re- garded asa venial sin. But if the youth of the country be impressed with the belief that alcohol a poisonous drug, that drunkenness is full of dangers to fortune,

The Grand Division.

The Grand Division of P. E. Island met in annual session in the town of Summer- side, yesterday morning and afternoon. The delegates from this city, about thirty in number, together with other passengers were conveyed by special train. Among the delegates we noticed J. W. Morrison, Esq., and R. M. Barrett, Esq., twe veter- ans in the cause; also Messre. Wadman, Chappell, Crabbe, Davison, Horne, Me- Coubrey and other well known Sons. of Temperance. The businesg of the session was of unusual importance and was trans- scted with promptness and despatch. Grand Worthy Patriarch Steel, | now of St. John, N. B., was present. The sum of one hundred dollars was unanimously yoted to the Island Guardian. Fifty dollars was also voted to the Charlottetowa W. C. T. U. to aid them in their crusade against the liquor traflic. A deputation of three was appointed to wait upon Mr. Nicholson, the Superintendent of Educa- tion, to urge upon him the importance of introducing Temperance text books in our public schools. The new Grand Ofticers were duly elected. David Arbing, Esq., of Freetown, w.s chosen G. W. P., and

good morals, and that moderate drinking I ae Scan leads to drunkenness, there will, in the} ae tike city after the close of the meeting future, be little need for laws against the| liqur traffic;—for the liquor trafic will | collapse for want of support. The Church, the Schools, the Press —all should unite in educating the people, young and old, to appreciate the evil, the danger of drunk- enness, and to shun the steps which lead down to it.

GE AL LOLOL Literary Notes.

‘*The Upper Ten,” by W. H. Ballou. The author, in his preface, says that people in this country object to anything new in types of fiction, that nothing finds favor with them that has not been plagiarized. Dickens, says Mr. Ballou, is beloved be- cause he worked over Addison into new life ; Josephus because it resembles Caesar's Com- mentaries. So the author presents to us

be readily seen, no connection whatever a Cana- with the cash deposits of the people in the banks of Canada. THe EXxaMINeR might, perhaps, boast that the wealth of the peo- ple increased in the wonderful manner exhibited by the statistics, notwithstanding these large public expenditures for the development of **the Great Lone Land.” But the Patriot is clearly astray when it drags them into a discussion concerning the large additions which have been made by the people to their bank deposits

But is the Patriot right in its contention that the public works of Canada are of no Let us consider the Take the light- houses for example. revenue can result them. Are no value? They must ever involve a large year- ly expenditure of public money. Sup- pose that the policy of the Grits were successful—suppose that the ultimate end of ‘Commercial Union” or ‘Unrestricted Reciprocity’ had already been reached, and our Government were now negotiating terms of annexation with the United States, —would they not place ‘* lighthouses” in a list of valuable assets to be considered in the financial arrangement? Of course they would. The Patriot might as well contend that « farmer's barns and outbuildings are of nv value to him as that the public works of the country are of no value to the country, and not to be accounted for as assets to be set off against the public debts.

The Patriot ssys that ‘‘such assets as Tue ExaMINerR mentions, namely, canals and railways, cannot be sold to pay off our debts, for they do not yield a revenue over working expenses.” But the Patriot is very willing that its readers should be im- pressed with the absurd idea that the wealth of the people, on deposit in the banks, might be seized upon bythe Government ereditor. The Patriot is evidently pretty hard pushed for arguments to discount the prosperity of the people and damage the credit of the country.

A Grave Question For U. S. Im- porters.

MEETING OF NEW YORK MERCHANTS TO DISCUSS THE LEGALITY OF THE M’KINLEY BILL,

A meeting of importers of New York was held on the 28th inst., at the Metro- polis Hotel which had under consideration the McKinley Bill. James M, Constable presided. In calling the meeting to order, Mr. Constable said the purpose was to give expression as to the legality of the Mc- Kinley Bil!, and he = that the omission of section 30 the engrossed copy of the bill which was signed by the President very possibly vitiated the entire act, though the omitted section was upon by both the Senate and the House of Representatives. Mr. Curtis thought that the first thing to do was to get the facts, His knowledge of the matter was limited and in fact confined almost entirely to newspaper reports. Secretary Daniel Me- Keever told how he had talked with numerous lawyers and it was nearly the unanimous opinion among them that the act was unconstitutional because of the omission of the section. A committee was appointed to devise some united mode of action and report back at a subsequent meeting. F, O. Hague called attention to the fact that if the importers intend to pro- test they must protest from the very be- ginning. As matters were the act was a law. We enter under the law and cannot protest after liquidation is made. The meeting then adjourned to meet at the call of the chair.

Many Have Done It.—The Louisville Courier-Journal says : There is one way in which the American farmer can get some- thing out of his farm. He can mortgage it for the highest amount he can get, and then leave it to the man with the mortgage. Not a few farmers have done this.

—The success which has attended the St, Clair subway project has very much en- couraged railway companies, and we may look for several more such works within the coming year.

Premier Robson, of British Columbia, de- livered a hopeful and encouraging address at an entertainment to the British farmers’ dele- gates at Victoria the other day, upholding a British connection and favoring im-

The Imperial Produce Co., a Canadian concern, has intimated to the Finance Minister that it is now prepared to ship Canadian farm products to the English markets on commission. It was organized as a result of the McKinley Bill.

T. P. O'Connor, in an interview at Cologne, said that the O’Brien-Dillon mission to Ameri- ca had nothing to do with the potato famine, which was the business of the British govern- ment. Our only concern, he said, was to get money for political purposes. The mission- aries count upon getting £100,000 He him- self would probably go to Canada, Dillon and O’Brien not daring to risk arrest there.

From Naples comes the novel announce- ment that Signor Verdi has begun the com- position of an oratorio upon the basis cf Shakespeare’s King Lear, Signor Boito to fur- nish the necessary version of the play in rhyming Italian. The admirers of Wagnerian music will no doubt be disposed to question the power of the Italian composer to co with so difficult a theme. Yet the impartial public will await results before venturing premature criticism, But Shakesperian tragedy in opera is, to put it mildly, a daring innovation.

The meeting of the Imperial Parliament next month will be awaited with a good deal of interest the world over. The question which everybody is asking is, Will the Gov- ernment get through without such a defeat as will necessitate a dissolution. [t can, of course, avoid defeat by doing nothing, but it is pledged to two or three great measures, the

rincipal of which is, probably, the Irish and purchase bill, which it will find very difficult to carry. Then there will be a battle royal over the enforcement of the coercion act and the troubles arising out of the agita- tion.

The Canadian Sealers who make their catches inthe open sea declare that seals

were never so abundant, and their reports are confirmed by their large catches. There is therefore possibly some truth in the

charge that the commercial company which has leased the right of killing in the Prebyloff Islands has falsely reported that the seals are scarce this year in order to create alarm regarding the danger of immediate extermina- tion, and thus induce the British Government to agree to more stringent regulations in re- ain ts killinz seals at sea than it would otherwise be willing to do. > +
