{HE LONGSHOREMEN’S PICNIC.
The picnic fever has hit our longshore- men real hard. Yesterday morning a meeting was held on Pownal Wharf, at which the different phases of the subject were discussed. An ofticer of the Worces- ter filled the chair and a woll-known Cus- tK ms oficial acted assecretary. Jd Hogan was the orator, and from an egg-box plat- ferm addressed present, after the following manner :—Gentlemen, the ques- tion with which we have to wrestle to-day is an important one. It is one in which you, my dearhearers, as well as I, am inter- ested. It is this: shall we or shall we not have a pienic? I say we shall, and in say- ing so I know that each of you will in turn smite his breast and exclaim, ‘*Them’s my sentiments |” The question of having the picnic being now settled, let us consider the ways and means necessary to the suc- cessful carrying out of the scheme. There are different ways, but my idea—and I flatter myself that it is my idea—is to start
a subscription list right here. Our secre-

Now, then, [{ think that 1 have said enough (2nd enough is as good as a feast) on this subject, and | will, therefore, with your permission, bring my address to a close by reminding you that
iger the sum you put your name down for the better the seat at the picnic table. (Cheers andapplause.) The secre- tary then took downthe names of those who contributed, and announced the result, which exceeded expectations, and the meeting adjourned. The picnic is now in order.

fhe Gay and Festive Servant Girl.
t is dangerous to go away to picnics and leave the servant girl at home; at least one family in Moncton have found it so. The proper caper is to stay at home and let the servant girl take in the picnic. Mrs. Marks, of Botsford street, went to St. John yesterday withthe Presbyterian Sunday taking the larger children and leaving the smaller ones at home in charge of the girl. Shortly after her departure the neighbors noticed that the children ‘lone and on enquiry it was learned that the girl had taken herdeparture. The children were taken care of by Mrs. Lock- hart and on Mr. Marks’ arrival at noon fur- ther discoveries were made. A $4 bill, a pin with gold dollar attached, a dress, pair of boots, and sundry other other articles had also disappeared. The police were in- formed of the facts and it was learned that the girl had taken her departure by the 10.30 train for Point du Chene, there tak- ing the boat for P. E. Island, where she belonged. Her front name was Nellie: last name unknown.— Moncton Times.

A Secretary But Not a Gentleman.
( Halifax Chronicle.)
In the correspondence between Admiral Luce and Mr. Secretary Whitney, just pub- lished, the latter official makes a very poor showing. The whole tone of his reply to Admiral Luce’s despatch, enclosing the re- sult of his correspondence with Capt. Scott, is decidedly low and unbecoming the high official position he holds. The touch about Capt. Scott not being understood to be the agent of this government for any such pur- pose as that for which you have employed him reminds one irresistibly of the ‘‘with- ering sarcasm” of a police court shyster. If Mr. Secretary Whitney had been at a little more pains to read over the questions put by Admiral Luce, and Capt. Seott’s replies, and a little less in haste to pen (and hand to the newspapers) a despatch seasoned to suit the taste of the Yankee blatherskite papers, he would have seen that the information asked for and obtain- ed could by no possibility have been ob- tained from ‘‘our own government.” What Admiral Luce wanted to find out was exact- ly the practical information which every Yankee fisherman who wanted to keep out of harms way would want to know. Every Yankee fishermen who comes across one of our cruisers asks such questions for himself. lt may be that the Canadian claims and our interpretation of the treaty are all wrong. Admiral Luce has ‘nothing to do with that. That was a matter for diploma- tists at Washington and Ottawa anJ Lon- don. What he was sent down into these waters for (presumably) was to look after the interests of the Yankee fishing fleet. To obtain from the officers in charge of the protection fleet a concise statement uf the details of the manner in which the protec-
tion fleet would act, and distribute the information among the American fishing fleet—so as to let them know how they
might expect to be treated—is exactly what he would suppose any ofticer in Admiral Luce’s position would do.
The real fact is that Admiral Luce made & great mistake in supposing that the Government at Washington really cared a vow of pins about looking after the Ameri- can fishermen, and that he was expected to do his duty as a careful naval officer should do it. The fishery question in the States is a purely political one, and all the cabinet care about it is to so work it as to secure as large a vote as possible out of the dynamit- ers, the New England fish thieves and the blatherskite element generally. What Admiral Luce should have done, if he wished to find favor in the eyes of Mr. Secretary Whitney and _ his kind, was to have come down here with the airs of a stage pirate or bucaneer. He should never have tied up his flagship to a buoy belonging to the ‘* British tyrant,” or exchange so much as a_ civil word with any of her ‘minions. ” He should have issued some sort of a pro- clamation coming as near as possible to a proclamation of war. If he could have managed to pick a quarrel with the British authorities, and been ordered out of the harbor,and gone out after sending hismento quarters, getting his ships ready for action, and generally going through all the absurd stage antics he could think of, his glory would have been complete. He would have been the popular hero of the hour through the length and breadth of the Union. The goverament at Washington could have ‘*pointed with pride” to her actions as proof indubitable of the energetic manner in which they were ‘* protecting the inter-
| gained themselves such a reputation as would have carried Mr. Cleveland safely through his second election, That was what Admiral Luce shouid have done. ‘Instead of that he made the mistake of trying todo the duty he was sent to per- form in a manner befitting an ofticer and a ventleman, and so has brought down upon himself the censure of every Yankee blath- erskite from O'Donovan Rossa to Mr. Secretary Whitney.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Explanation Wanted. Sir,—In one of the last issues of THe Examiner I noticed that ‘ohn Macdonald and Robert Jay were convicted and fined the sum of $50 for netting trout in Morell, and charged with assaulting Warden Me- Collaugh. As [am the only known Robert Jay I wish to state that | am innocent of the charge, and moreover I never received a summons to attend the trial. What I want to know is this: Who swore they saw Robert Jay netting in Morell ? If anyone did Lam prepared to prove it false, and if no one did how was Robert Jay, convicted? inspector Duvar will please explain.
