Senator Haythorne and the Scott

Act MOUNTED POLICE RECRUITS.

' Wi publish with great pleasure | Senator Haythornes t ibute to the Hou. (reorge Coles and Bishop Mclatyre: ! and only wish he were equally correct | u his statements respecting the operation of the Scott Act iu this Province. | Either the hon. gentleman's memory or | bis eves are at fault, or be would not aay here is more drunkenness here now thao | there was before the Scott Act went into eration. The of the Police | Court and the evidence of each market | day prove that his statement is entirely incorrect. That the Act has not been] properly and that there are | some men here so much demoralized by aleohol as to disrega:d the law of the | land and the expressed will of a ma- | jority of the community, may be granted ; | but it is not untrue, it .is a] libel upon the community, to say that | influence upen there is more | law than,

euforced,

ouly

the law has no deterrent the people—that, in fact, drunkenness in spite of the there would be with the sanction of the law. We tell Mr. Haythorne that the people of this Island are, asa whole, a} moral and law-abiding people ; him that his statement to the Senate is—

we tell |

inadverten:ly, no doubt—a slander upon them. And granted that there are a tew men aud women who disregard the law, and that the law has not been well | enforced, the people of this Island may, | at least, congratulate themselves on the | fact that they are now, under the Scott | Act, in no way responsible, directly a indirectly, for the dire results of the | illicit traffic.

—The Act respecting agricultura education, passed by the N. S. Legisla- ture, provides for the appointment of a Professor of Agricultural Science in the Normal School, who is also to give lectures throughout the Province on the principles and practice of agriculture. Provision is also made for special in- struction by teachers in agriculture. Our legislators will, vo doubt, look out tor the results ot this ‘new departure.” It is quite clear that the schools of an agricul- tural community should give instruction in the principles of agriculture.

— Mr. L. H. Davies has again given evidence ot the narrow high Tory spirit by which. notwithstanding all his loud professions of Liberalism, he is really actuated. He pretends when he is here that he is in favor of manhood suffrage ; but, according to our despatches, he stoutly opposed the extension of the Franchise to Indians who own property and otherwise come within the provisions of the pew Frauchise Act. He would deny to all Indians the right to vote Consequently Indians are, in his opinion, wot men, or else his fine professions about machood suffrage are false.

— The Patriot has an article in which certain charges are made respecting the letting of the contract to build the new Dominion Building. The article is largely made up of strong adjectives aud such phrases as ‘‘it is currently reported.” It is bald, indefinite, and uoworthy of further notice. There is nothing in it. If there has been any ‘ crookedness ” iv the letting of the con- tract. let us have the facts of the case by all means. nesteintentidiiilti

‘First-Class Goods,”

In which merit is at once recognized, are now, and always have been, imitated, espe- cially the manufactured article. After years of labor, and the expenditure of a fortune, in perfecting and placing before the public that which people appreciate and demand, some one who never had an original idea oflers a counterfeit or substi- tute to compete with the genuine. Curtis Davis & Co., makers of the ‘* Welcome Soap,” find the above true in their case at least, the excellence of whose productions are everywhere acknowledged as the *‘stand- ard” of quality, being imitated ip every | way that competition can suggest. But iv the use of their goods, the consumer re- alizes the full benefit of value received. Welcome Soap contirms and sustains their great reputation. ee

ANOTHER PRIEST KILLED,

Archbishop Tache has received a telegram | saying that Father Fournand had been | half-broeds at Ba | toche; and also that the news of the massaa- |

| cre at Coomassie (’) of priests had been con- |

firmed. He has wired for particulars. The | priest, whose death is reported, has, since |

1868, been parish priest of Batoche. In|

that year he passed through Winnipeg en) ‘

route to his mission, aad stepged with | Archbishop Tache. He has never been east since, however, and neither has he since been seen by His Grace. He is a} Frenchman by birth, and was made Oblate } 1869, Archbishop ‘Tache has |

4 WAR SERMON,

Archbishop Tache officiated in St. Mary’s | Church, Winnipeg, on Sunday, the 19th} ult , the ¥th (Quebec) battalion being pre- | sent at the service. His Grace preached in | irench from the words of Job: ‘* The life| of man on earth is warfare” The Winni-| peg Times gives the following synopaia cf Archbishop Tache’s remarks: He com-} menced by alluding to the first rebellion,

| which he ssid was that of Satan, who re-}

volted against God, thereby establishing the | necessity of soldiers. H» said that men | had to be soldiers because wars would be| waged. First alluding to the Christian) soldier, His Grace counselled them ever to | be on the watch for the enemy of their sal- | vation, Satan, and fight for the Lord, As}

soldiers in the service of their) country, he said they should fight | with the same Christian prudence] and should be courageous and |

vigilant io all their conduct aul show | their love for country by their readiness to | shed their blood for it. The learned; preacher here eulogized the valor and | chivalry for which British soldiers were | renowned, they should do everything to honor the flag | that protected them. He said they were the descendants of a nation of braves , | that of France; anda: such he was sure their | conduct at the front would be that | of true patriots. His Grace then forcibly | alluded to the early se‘tlement of the older! provinces, which he characterized as heroic |

heroes he hoped they would prove them- selves worthy of their ancestors. He under- stood well the sacrifices they made in leaving their homes and families to fight for their country, as he h‘wself, forty years ago, left everything dear to him, his home and his country, to come here to fight the enemy of our souls After again urging his lis- tenera to be courageous (commensurate with Christiani y) for the cause and honor of their eountry, His Grace concluded.” NOTES.

All attempts of half-breeds to incite the Sioux Indians to revolt has failed around Q’Aprelle. Indian agent McDonald, who visited them, left them plenty of seed, and obtained a promise to stay on their reserve.

A large supply of rifles and ammunition arrived on the 2nd at Fort Qa’Appeile, and went north under escort of the 12th and 75th battalions, under command of Major Burnett, as far as Houghton, where they will be met by Col, Turnbull.

Major Walsh is at the fort and doing good with the ladians and half-breeds.

Col. Ouimet, while en route north, was suddenly taken ill at Calgary. Dr. Hen- derson haa been called and pronounces it impossible for Cul. Ouimet to go,

Education and Temperance

A TRIBUTE TO HON. GEORGE COLES AND BISHOP MCINTYRE.

Hon. R, P. HAyrHoRne in the course of a speech on the Temperance Question in the Sevate, said :—

“IT may say it isa matter of congratu- lation that our young country is so far ad- vanced in the same course, that she has de- voted so large a portion of her resources to the education of her youth, both in the or- dinary subjects of literature avd ordinary education, and also in the fine aris; and that this, in connection with music and other things, will certainly have the effect of raising amongst us a generation taking greater pleasure in those things than in the wine crop) | my say that in my own province certain individuals have been identified with this movemen’ a: well as th» L eal Legislature. Speaking of the Legislature first, I may s*y that for many years pact—-for five and twenty years or more—in that compara'ively poor province a very large proportion of the revenue has been devoted to the free eduertion efthe people A gentleman whose name stands prowinent in connection with that Legislature is one whose portrait forms part of the group in our outer hall,in Mr. Harris’ picture of the Quebec Convention. If al- lude to the late Hon. George Coles. He, judging, | suppose, that ignorance and in- temperance probably went together, made it his effort to raise the people he was call- ed upon to preside over by placing general education within the reach of everybody. Some years later, an- other person, of whom 1 speak with greater hesitation, not because of the more limited scale of his operations, but because he is. still a living man, and his sphere of

Important to Farmers.

Facts About Haszard’s Im- proved Turnip Seed,

BOUT the year 1874, Mr. Arthur D. Haszard imported a small lot of a new variety of Turnip Seed, which proved to be euch a superior turnip and abundant yielder, that he secured the sale of it for the Island, and called it ‘Hasgard’s Improved,” and continued to sell it until he sold out his seed business to the late Robert May, who ran it for one season and then sold out to me. Since then I have been importing gnd selling this seed, and it having been brought tomy potice that unscrupulous dealers have taken advantage of the reputation gained for this seed, have sold other and inferior seed under this name. As turnips grown from this seed, sold by me, took three first prizes al exhibitions in the Island, and at the last Provincial Exhibition in Charlottetown, to guarantee farmers as far as possible against further deception and consequent loss, ] last season called it ‘Frederick LePage’s Prize Haszard’s Improved Turnip Seed,” putting my signature on each package sept out, which [ shall continue to do,

I have this year secured the usual supply of the genuine Haszwd’s Improved Turnip Seed, andas I do not have agents, receiving large commissions, nor employ runners, will sell it at 60 cents per pound, and in order to put it within easy reach of farmers throngh- out the Island, will send jit by mail, postage paid by me, on receipt of the price.

Please send along your orders early and have it sent to your nearest post oftice, or call at my seed store, corner of Grafton and Great George Streets, in rear of Province Bnilding, Charlottetown.

Please read the following testimonials, out of a score or more that might he added,

FREDERICK LePAGE

Lor 48 Cross Ro- ps, 9th April, 1885,

Last season I bought your Prize Hagzard’s Improved Turnip Seed for tbe first time, which did so well that I took some of the turnips to the Provincial Exhibition, and was awarded the first prize for them, My success last year I attribute majn'y to the superiority of the seed above all others, and believe it to be all you claim for it.

(Signed) Duncan Sraewarr. To Mr. Fred’k LePage, Ch’town,

Sourxeort, Lor 48, April 16th, 1885,

In answer to your enquiry about the Fred’k LePage’s Prizo Haszard’s Improved Turnip Seed, bought trom you, I have to say that, notwithstanding the bad season fur turnip growing, I had the best crop of them grown by me for years, which I attribute to the superiority of the seed, and believe it woald be better to pay two dollars a pound for this than use the common seed.

(Signed) Henry Moercu. To Frederick LePage.

CuarkLorTetown, lst May, 1885.

I have grown Haszard’s Improved Turnips for the last five years, and have purchased the seed from Mr. Frederick LePage My experience with it is that there is no turnip to compsre with it im appearance, quality and productiveness. My yield last season was fully seven hundred bushels per acre.
