down to posterity as that of a practical

statesman who took a leadiag part in laying broad and deep and strong the foundations ot the Canadian Nation.

-The Dundas Banner, which is an organ , of the Opposition, says :

“Our erudite and able contemporary, the Hamilton Times, is still crying for the moon, and seems to think that it is the duty of Liberal journals generally to follow its ex- ample. It wants the principle of free trade adopted in Canada. But what is the ase of advocating the adoption of free trade in Can- ala when the United States will not free trade with you? You cannot have fres trade unless somebody wil! free trade with you, and thia, it is perfectly clear, the United States has no intention of doing. It is all very well to say that when the Democ*atic party comes into comes into power once more it will adopt a broader platform in its dealings with Canada, and that it will not be long after it assumes the reins of office before it will go in for free trade with Canada. We have dteard: that fairy tale before. The Democratic party came into power in the United States and never bothered its head about Canada in so far as trade matters are concerned, if we ex- cept the issue by President Cleveland of a bombastic proclamation in which he threaten- ed to close American ports to Canadian vessels and shut out Canadian railways. ‘There was not much free trade about that. The long and the short of the matter is that Canada re- quires to raise every year about forty million” doilars, and the unly way to raise it, barring direct taxation, is by imposing customs duties.’

Kemmiler’s Execution.

The London Chronicle, commenting on cue killing of Kemmler by electricity, says the scene was worthy of the darkest cham- bears of the inquisition in the 16th cen- tury.

The London Times says it would be im- possible to imagine a more revolting ex- hibition. It advocates a lethal chamber in preference to the use of electricity.

The London Standard says: The scene can be described as a disgrace to humanity. {t will send a thrill of indignation through- wut the civilized world We cannot be- lieve that the Americans will allow the electrical execution act to stand.

Edison, in an interview on the _Kemmler execution, says in substance that the fault lies with the doctors in the method of the application of the current. Theoretically they were right in ‘attacking the nerve centre of the body, but practically they were all at sea. Edison then proceeds to show (using as illustrations the many in- stances of immediate death by electric wires) that the current should have passed from hand to another which would bring the heart into the circuit through the blood, causing instant death. ‘* The trouble to my mind lies wholly in the appli- cation of the current to the victim’s body — the working out of a doctor's theory in the face of plain demonstrations of experience ”

Dr. Spitzka, in a statement to the as- sociated press, denies that he ordered the currents stopped or in any way directed the steps rendered necessary at the Kemm- ler execution. The current was turned off by a previous understannding. Fifteen seconds was agreed upon as the time to be taken and actually seventeen elapsed. When Kemmiler’s death appeared doubtful the Doctor suggested that the current be turned on again and the warden gave

one

orders. The Doctor says he only came to examine the brain and not as assistant executioner.

Fire at St, Peren’s.—We regret very much to learn that the dwelling house and store and outbuildings of Mr. Charles E. Pratt,situated about 100 yards*from St.Peters station, were destroyed§by . fire this ffore® noon. The fire was discovered coming through the roof of the dwelling house about nine o'clock, and it must have started from the flue. From the dwelling house and store, which are in the same building, the flames spread to tle outbuildings adjoining, which, with the building in which the fire originated speedily succumbed. The furniture in the sower part of the house was saved, but all up- stairs was destroyed. Some of the dry goods in the store was saved but the hardware was burned. The stock in the store was a heavy ene. The stock and buildings were insured in the Guardian for $4,500,

address, which was read by the Hon, A. A.

To the Right Honorabli donald, P. C., G. C. B., &e Minister of Canada.

MAY IT PLEASE YOUR HONOR,— Lhe Cale donian Club of Prince Edward Island--your fellow clansmen—desire to be among the first to extend a heartfelt welcome to you and to LadyMacdonald on again visiting this Island.

Our organization is purely” national ant benevolent, its main object being the promo. tion and maintence of friendly feeling ind na-

Sir John A. Ma

Ko Cs 6 Prime

pleasure that, in common w ith other Canadians of different lineage, we have obset ved the well-merited promotion and the distinguished position which you, ~ brither Scot, A achieved by your talents and your devotion to the interests of your country.

We rejoice that Her Gracious Majesty has acknowledged and rewarded your services by conferring upon you that which, according to Lord Beacoustield, was ‘‘ the highest meri- torious distinction which wasin the power of the Sovereign to bestow,” and that your name, as an eminent statesman, will be honorably associated in the page of history with the foundation, pro- gress and auspicious development of this wide Dominion.

We gratefully remember in your public addresses, on various occasions, the many wise and practical suggestions offered our fellow countrymen for their improvement in every department of useful knowledge, while at the same time assuriug them that the culti- vation of the soil was the surest road to com- fort and independence.

The impetus given to the educational, liter- avy and charitable institutions of Canada by prudent legislation, indicate the wisdom which has characterized the administration whereof you have been for so many years the honored head

In that great work, the Canada Pacific Rail- way, which has been carried to successful completion under your administration, we are pleased to note that you have been aided by others of our fellow countrymen, and that your united labors have resulted in an addi- tional monument to the energy and persever- of the Scottish character.

The union of the once scattered colonies of North America, but now the Confederated Provinces of Canada, their progress and de- velopment, the extension of their great rail- way system and vast public works, have caused a sentiment of common patriotism to spring up, and a feeling of national unity to animate Canadians, who see distance thus practically annihilated and every section of this vast country marching on in the path of progress and civilization.

We regret that your stay in the Province will be so briefas to prevent cur tendering you the courtesies of the Caledonian Club at their national games on Thursday next.

We beg that Your Honor and Lady Mac- donald, who has aided you in every beneficent work, will accept our cordial wishes for many years of health, happiness and _pros- perity.

A. A. MAGDONALD, Chief. Jas. D, Trvine, President. JouN M. CAMPBELL, Secretary.

Sir John replied with a short ez- tenipore address, in which he referred to the clannishness of Scotchmen as one of the causes of their success in all parts vf the world. He expressed his thanks for the address, his pleasure in being among his friends of the Island Province once more, and his regret that he cannot, on account of arrangements which necessitate his re- turn to Rivier du Loup, be present at the annual Gathering of the Clans to take place on Thursday next. He had, he said, been long connected with Scottish Associ- ations. On hig father’s side and on his mother’s side he was a Celt, and he was proud of the success achieved by Scotch-

men. He referred to the Hon. Alexander Mackenzie and to the Hon. Oliver Mowst as Scotchmen politically op-

posed to him, but personally friends, who industry to be, the one a First Minister of Canada, the other Premier: of the Great Province of Ontario; and he expressed re- gret that failing health must soon compel Mr. McKenzie to withdraw from public life. Im conclusion, he returned thanks for their kind reference to Lady Macdonald and congratulated the Club upon the evi- dences of progress to be seen in the city and threughout the Province.

NOTES. Mr. E. J. Hodgsou gave a dinner party last evening iv honor of the visit of Sir John and Lady Macdonald. A large number of ladies and gentlemen called upon tho Premier and Lady Mac- donald in the course of this afternoon.

It is reported that Sir John and Lady Macdonald will attend Divine Service at St. Peter’s Church in the forenoon, and at the Methodist Brick Church in the even ing.

Sir John Macdonald and Lady Mac- donald will leave on Monday at 10,a m., for Summerside and remain there a few hours before crossing to the mainland. They will be entertained at dinner this evening by His Honor the Lieutenant Governor.

The penmanship in the address presented to Sir John A. Macdonald by the City Council, yesterday afternoon, was very artistic. Mr. Duncan McLean, City Clerk, executed the work.

Baptist Convention. ;

The Baptist convention of the Maritime Provinces will meet in Yarmouth, N. S., on August 23rd. Rev. J. A. Gordon, of this city, is lst Vice-President, and is to preside at the opening session, and is ex- pected to deliver the retiring President’s address.
