THE DAILY EXAMINER.

JULY 13, 1888. Editorial Notes.

Wouldn't it be well to have the market house open every day [

-Science now claims that every atom hasa littlesoul. There are men who seem to have swapped souls with atoms.

The Manchester Examiner calls atten- tion toa large consignment of tea from China, having crossed the Pacific in British ships to British Columbia, and being carried thence by the C.P. R. The Manchester Examiner remarks that ‘* the superiority of the new route is thus established.”

-The slander charges lately set led in and out of our Supreme court recaii Shakespeare's famous lines ;

** Slander W hose edge is sharper than the sword, whose tongue Out-venoms all the worms of Nile.” People generally want more of the spirit which thinks ne evil, and turns with gust from the tale-bearer.

als-

— The Patriot cordially agrees with the Summerside Journal in its denunciation of the Lieut.-Goveravr of Nova Scotia! This fact will be regarded as very suspicious. In fact, it will go far to make a large majority of the people think that there is something wrong about the Jowrnal’s attack on one of the representatives of our Queen. Seriously, the Journal should now recunsider the policy, the propriety, of its recent conduct in respect to a man who 38 outof party pelitics and not in a position to defend himself.

— The Plan of Campaign has been ad- opted by the Scotch crofters and the Moderator of the Free Church has consent- ed to become the custodian of the rents. The Montreal Witness remarks: ‘‘ There must either be little that is immoral about the plan of campaign or else the evils aris- ing from the rent-racking system must be extremely great, or Scotch ministers, whose conclusion, as a rule, are well developed under the Calvinistic system of theology, could not be induced to co-operate in it. The fact is, that very often the lives of men, women and children depend upon finding some mode of defence against being turned out of shelter.

—An English blue book shows that there was collected by the Imperial Government as license duties in England and Wales for the year ending March 31, 1888, £2,986, 134, made up as follows: Publicans and all other licenses for the retailing of beer, spirits, wine and sweets, including occasion- al licenses, £1,365,266; dealers in beer, spirits, wine and sweets, and refreshment- house keepers, £187,037; game dealers, £6,149; tobacco dealers, £63,159; appraisers, auctioneers, house agents, pawnbrokers and plate dealers, £134,816; carriages, £496,- 080; armorial bearings, male servants and dog licenses, £517,135; and licenses to kill game, including gamekeepers’ licenses, and to carry guns, £216,411.

A New Steamer. Tue new air ship upon which the United States Government proposes to expend $150,000 is to be constructed of steel plates one-fortieth of an inch in thickness. The structure will be 954 feet long and 138 feet in diameter, with cone shaped ends. The lifting power is to be obtained by exhaust- ing the air from this huge steel cylender until a more or less complete vacumn is produced, and the propulsion will be ac- complished by means of screw piopellors driven by a powerful electrical engine, which in turn will derive its power from storage batteries. The machinery will be placed on a structure underneath the cylinder, which will alsc contain accommodation for freight or passengers. It is estimated that even with a vacumn far from complete the ship will have a power equal to lifting 153,000 _ tons. The altitude attained will depend upon the vacuum which’can be regulated by the machinery. If the ship turns out a success the feats that can be achieved with it will equal any of Jules Verne’s wildest romances. The ex- ploration of the inaccessible places of the earth will be accomplished without diffi- culty. The relief of Emin Bey and Stanley, when he gets there, can ve effected with the most consumate ease. The identity of the mysterious White Pascha can be es- tablished, and a few bombs dropped square- ly down into the camp of the Mahdi will cause that troublesome person to take incentinently to his heels. The air ship will undoubtedly be a great thing. The nation that controls the air will own the earth.

Queen Natalie and the Synod.

The Pall Mall Gazette publishes a num- ber of telegrams which have passed between Queen Natalie, of Servia, and the lay and ecclesiastical authorities of the Holy Synod in relation to the troubles between herself and King Milan. In her despatches Queen Natalie charges that the Synod is conspiring with King Milan to perpetrate a cruel in- —s against an innocent woman. Queen Natalie's last despatch was addressed to the Metropolitan of the Holy Synod. In it she declares that the Synod is not qualitied to concera itself in the question of a divorce between her and her husband. A divorce granted by the Synod would, under the circumstances of the case, be contrary to the laws of Servia, and the Queen declared that she would energetically protest against the iniguity and illegality of such a divorce if granted by the Synod.

The North of Scotland Canadian Cattle Cumpany contracted with William Thoinson & Sons, of Dundee, for the tonnage neces- sary to transport from Montreal to Aber- deen between two and three thousand head of Canadian store cattle in six shipments, beginning early in November. The Bar- ce ona is expected to leave Montreal with the first shipment.

The refusal of the Privy Council to grant permission to appeal the Glengarry election case does not surprise Canadian lawyers. Mr. MacMaster himself anticipated a re- fusal, as will be seen by his letter written from Lendon, although eminent English counsel held a different opinion. Mr. Pur- cell will sit for Glengarry, and every vote he casts will injure the party that counts him among {ts prominent adhurents.

_THE DAILY EXAMINER, - ~~

Inter-Provincial Con-| vention.

Teachers’

Tuts Convention (to be held in St. John next week) will be interesting and note- worthy, independently of the stimulus it will certainly give to the educational thought of this part of Canada. As the Educational Review remarks: ‘‘ Such dis- tinguished men as Sir William Dawson, Dr. Fitch, Colonel and Mrs. Parker, Prof. Huling, Dr. Schurman, in addition to the best educational talent that the Atlan- tic Provinces affords, is an inducement to be present that cannot be overlooked, and the inspiration gained by listening to such men will be full recompense for any sacrifice that may be made.”” It is expected that there will be seven or eight hundred visi- tors. We learn that the Premiers of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick will be present, while the Government of this Province will be represented by the Honorable Donald Ferguson. Our Chief Superintendant of Education will be in attendance, and a!so a large number of the teachers of this Pro- vince. For the benefit of the latter we subjoin the following :—

List ot hotels—Royal, $2.50 to $3.00; Dufferin, $2.50 to $3.00; Victoria, $2.00 to $2.50; New Victoria, $1.50 to $2.00; Park, 31.50 to $2.00; Clifton, $1.50 per day. Elliot's, Bangor, Ottawa, Nova Scotia, Hawarden, Central and Queen, each $1.00 a day.

Party Ingratitude.

lr any fresh proof were needed of the in- gratitude of parties, it was afforded by the behaviour of the Bonapartists on the occa- sion of M. de Maupas’ death. If there was any man in France whose services deserved the tribute of laudatory recognition at the hands of that party, it was the author of the **Memoires Sur le Second F 4. Yet we are informed that in the leading Bonapartist organ he did uct obtain even the meagre courtesy of having his death an- nounced in the obituary notices. De Mau- pas had, it appears, paid the hero of the cafes-chantants the compliment of his ap- plause, a fact which is not a little signifi- cant. But the Prefect of Police, who had done so much to seat Napoleon ILL. on the throne of France, was but a feeble old man whose praise or blame no one sought or cared about. Nevertheless, his approval of the Boulanger movement is not without its value as evidence that the double parallel which some have set up and others have laughed at between the present and former Republics and the Boulanger and Napo- leonic movements, is not so absurd after all. Boulanger’s demand of revision gives additional force to the comparison, and there are other points of resemblance be- tween the situation to-day and that which preceded the coup d'etat which have not escaped notice. Nevertheless, Boulanger is not Louis Napoleon, with the prestige of an Emperor uncle at his back.

Our Cupper Mines. That the copper mines of this country are excelled by none in the world is now a fully ascertained fact. In Algoma the ore is not only exceptionally rich and abundant, but it is more accessible than in almost any of the great copper-producing countries. It is a metal that fetches the highest price, and it is is not only largely used but the demand for it is constantly increasing, so that there can be no doubt of making remunerative sales. Under these circumstances it may well be asked with surprise what it is that Canadiags are waiting for before they real- ize this dormant wealth. It is absolutely indespensible to delay until some specula- tive foreigner comes along who wishes to enrich himself? Why should not our own people reap the advantages for them- selves instead of giving the lion’s share to others? -Surely there should be enough enterprise in Canada to develop these mines. That there is enough capital is proved by the fact that Canadian money is being employed abroad at low rates, because there is not sufficient employment for it in the country. Cannot our capitalists venture out of the beaten track of Canadian industries? It is no dis- tant or little known and inaccessible region from which the invitation comes to develop this wealth. A very short trip even from this city would bring those contemplating an investment with ease to the locality of these neglected mines, and a mere holiday jaunt would enable a personal inspection to be made. And when the mines were being worked constant supervision could be exercised, while the output could be handl- ed cheaply and easily. It seems almost in- credible that there should be lethargy and indifference under such circumstances. Capital is seeking far more uncertain and less promising investment, yet these rich mings lie idle almost at our dvora. Are there none on our own soil willing to avail thenwelves of the opportunity /—Empire.

—_—— ~<a A Teutonic Samson.

— -—

(From the New York Herald.)

Sebastian Miller, a Bavarian brewer, was the victor ina tugof war with two teams of horses at a picnic at Schuetzen Park, Paterson, N. J.

Miller weighs 225 pounds, is 25 years old, and is nearly as broad as he is long. His exhibition yesterday was a repetition of one given on Friday last to a few friends and fellow-workmen at Oppermann’s brew- ery in East Forty-fifth street. One end of a strong heavy ladder was chained to a stake, the other being fastened to the top of a wooden horse.

Then Miller put two straps over his shoulder and lay upon the ladder with his head downward. He braced his feet against an upper round and held on with both hands to one of the lower rounds, When he had thus adjusted himself, two horses of the sturdy build affected by the brewers were hitched to the straps, to which was attached a whiffletree, and began to pull for th. ir lives.

Ix spite of whip and voice, Miller held his position. Again and again the driver urged his willing steeds, but they made no} impression upen the stalwart Teuton, whose | leg and arm muscles stood out like whip | cords. These horses weighed 4,000 pounds, and their driver said they were accustomed to haul loads of six or seven tons with great ! ease. Another team tried to pull the modern | Sarapson from his perch, tugging and pull- | ing until they were in a foam of perspira-| tion, but they, too, failed, and were taken iid amid cheers and jeers from specta-. ors.

Things One Doesn't Like to See.

I don’t like to see girls and boys waltz- ing on the sidewalk after ten o'clock at night, even though the morrow is Sunday and they can dance just a little. Of course nothing better could be expected from the boys, but the girls, well they should have more sense.

I don’t like to see persons putting off till to-morrow what they should Co to-day. When to-morrow comes they will find that something else will turn up to make the task all the more arduous. ‘‘If it were done it were well it were done quickly,” is a motto which will not doa person any harm to act up to,

| don’t like to see a man too self-opiniat- ed——who believes that the individual who does not see eye to eye with him on every

| town yesterday and went West this morning.

FRIDAY.

Personal. Mr. C, C. Carleton, Souris, was in town to- day. Hon. J. D. 5S. Thompson is ou his way from Ottawa to visit his constituents. : Mr. A. Stone (formerly ot this city) was in

Gov. Ames of Massachusetts is at the point of death. His disease is identical with that | of General Sheridan.

Mr. J. M. Campbell, of the Post Office De- partment, was famong the passengers in the Worcester for Boston yesterday afternoon. —

The Educational Review, to hand this morn- ing, contains an” interesting biographical sketch of J. Gould Schurman, M. A., VD. Se., |

subject isa fool. Such an one should re- inember that this is a big world, full of big people with big ideas, and that he dves not monopolize all the brain-power of even a sinall place hike Charlottetown.

1 don’t like to hear people abuse a man, even if he is the representative of ‘‘ the largest and best insurance Company on the Continent,” and does persist inshowing one figures ia proof ot his assertion just ove is up to his eyes in business. The pads and lead pencils furnished by the Company are very useful, and on that aé¢count, if on no other, we should try and bear with the talk of the representative.

1 don’t like to see the treatment the public receive from the postal authorities in the matter of supplying stamps. The present arrangement is disgraceful, and the sooner an improvement is made the better.

1 don’t like to hear grown up persons speak of their parents as “paw” and ‘*maw,” any more than | like to hear them referred to as the ‘old man” or “* old woman.” The good, old-fashioned *‘ father” and ‘* mother ” is more to my taste.

I don’t like to seea man who was very particular about what he wore before marriage, develop into a slovenly, untidy creature after the event. Neither do Ll like to see one of this kind, after the death of his wife and when he is looking for an- other, put on al) the airs and style of his younger days. ‘fo wy mind aman _ should be just as neat and tidy after marriage as before ; in other words a man should strive as hard to please his wife after marriage as he did before they were united.

I don’t like to see a contributor to the press withdraw his effusions from the paper im which they first appeared, because some- thing that grated upon his fine-grained organization happened to creep into its columns. To an outsider such conduct appears childish,

I don’t like to see the man whe is fond of playing practical jokes on people get vexed when one is played at his own ex-

pense. If a man Cannot take a joke he should refrain from playing one upon others. I like a consistent man.

{ don’t like to see so many accidents happening as a result of carelessness in not properly protecting the waterworks excava- tions. Thecity has already had to pay a good deal of muney for the carelessness of its officials, and I trust that greater care will be taken in the future.

I don’t like to see the walls of the Post Office corridor so dusty. It is vefy annoy- ing to rub against them and get one’s hands or clothing soiled. The person who does the sweeping in the mornings should use the dust brush occasionally.

I don’t like tosee the readiness with which some people believe and circulate every slanderv us story that comes to their vars. The greatest offenders in this respect are women, but the men are not far behind. More harm is done by the talk at the table, sewing circle, etc., than by all the scandals which appear in the newspapers. Truly, woman is the newspaper's greatest rival as a disseminator of news.

I don’t like to see the mysterious manner in which important surgical operations at our city hospitals are kept from the public. In other cities every operation worth re- cording is chronicled in detail in the press, aud asa result the public are kept fully informed as to the latest improvements in the world of science, and the hospitals and surgeons receive a reputation that brings them patients from all parts of the world. But then I forgot, our medical men--like those who flourished years ago and * bled” for everything from smallpox to an in- growing tve-nail—-dun't believe in adver- tising.

I don’t like te see the small way in which our policemen ave treated in the matter of clothing. They are expected to keep them- selves supplied with good clothing all the year round, in addition to meeting their other expenses, on the munificent salary of $1 per day. As a result there is a good deal of difference in the cut, as well as in the color of the uniforms worn. To be sure the inen were treated to new suits last year, in commemoration of the Queen’s Jubilee, and this year they are to have the same kindness extended in order to intro- duce a new uniform. But these are only windfalls, which come once or twice in a life-time. In my opinion the city should furnish the officers with two suits a year, or give thein an increase of salary.

I don’t like to see a man go out to a mill- stream, and after angling unsuccessfully for something worth taking home, purchase a large specimen for a high price, and on his return tell his friends about all the trouble he had landing his captive. The story may go down for a while; but the truth general- ly leaks out to the discomfiture of the fish- eran.

1 don’t like to see people run into the Supreme Court with cases which could be much more easily and satisfactorily settled in the City Small Debt Court, or in the County Courts. Law comes high in the Supreme Court. No matter who wins the suit, both parties lose money and time by the transaction. My advice to those who want to go to law is—don’t.

I don’t like to hear persons who are old enough to have better sense, continually meking use of vulvar and indecent ex-

pressions in conversation. There is noth- ing swart about talk of that kind, and the sooner those who indulge in it make this dis- covery the better for themselves.

I don’t like to see a man, who contri-

j who speaks about ii

bu‘es an anonymous article or series of articies to a newspaper, tell every person | that he is the writer. | If he is anxious for nowspaper notoriety he | sho ‘Latiach bis rea! name to his effusion ; | if not he siwud keep his mouth closed | about it. I[ don’t like a man who cannot keep his business to himself.
