The Prince of Wales College.

Tne Presbyterian of the 15th has a lecture on “The Editor.” It says the} editor “should be a man of the strongest fortitude, soundest princi ples and purest motives.” The occasion of the lecture is a statement of Tax Examiner that the Prince of Wales College costs the Province something over $5,000 a year, though THe EXAMINER stated in March

last that the cost was $10,463.16. The editor of the Presbyterian will, we are} gure. admit that an “honest mistake

be made even by ‘titude,

an. editor of soundest principles and purest motives ; and he will also, we think, admit

, the

ft

the correction of an erroneous statement}

is rather to be commended than de- Now, the erroneous statement inadvertently made by Tar ExAMInEer in March last was withdrawn and

promptly corrected on the very day after it was made; and it is rather surprising that av editor of the sound principles and pure motives, to sa} vothing of the Carietiee charity, of the editor of the Presbyterian should make it the ground work of a lecture against his contemporary. However, we shail take the lecture in good part, in the hope that ihe Presbyterian will look into the matter, acknowledge that the lecture was, so far as ‘lae EXAMINER is concerned, without good cause, and in future practice what it preeches. That there may be no further doubt or dispute about the cost of the College, we, on our part, sumbit the followicg statement, prepared by

nounced

the Provincial Anditor, showiog its cost In 18435 :—

Fees received 119.00 Net cost $5,610.63

There is in this statement ar. item for scholarships which should aot be made a charge against the College; for the scholarships are paid, not in support of the College bat in support of young men and women who attend the College. De- ducting the amount of this item and the remaining $6, 130.63 is the whole cost of the institution so far as the Province is concerned.

Now, what is done in return? There are one hundred pupils on the roll and in attendance : and the following is the course of studies pursued from week to week :—

guages, ju

College and Normal School must be mainteined—though not necessarily just as itis at present. Our Educational

system may indeed be likened to a tree, having for its stem the College and Normal School and for its Lranches the schools in every part of the Province. The efficiency and practical usefulne-s of the latter depend to a large extent upoo the training received by the teachers in the former; and if we intend to maintain our Free Education System and keep it abreast of thetimes, we must conserve the College and Normal School. Instead of thoughtlessly talking about abolishing it, we ouglit to be discussing means for making it more efficient and more in accord with the circumstances and interests of the Province.

Scott Act Trials.

lv is very pleasing to note that offend- ers against the law contained in what is known as the “Scott Act” are, from time to time, brought to justice; and the lately appointed Inspectors are to be com- mended for their activity in the discharge of their duties. But, on the other hand, the utmost care should be taken that no injustice is done the persons charged

with this heinous offence, and that the proceedings at the trials are taken in such a way as

to compel public acquiesence and re- spect. We have no reason to believe that, so far, avythiog but fairness and justice has been done ; but the mere faci that the trials have taken place in the

office of the Chief Inspector, who was the pro-ecntor, is such a grave irregularity aud such a_ reasonable

ground for raising suspicions that we re- gret having to direct attention to it. A person preferring a charge against an- other has the option of choosing his own magistrate, and he very often, nay, in- variably, choses his most intimate friend to try his case. ‘This, under the law as it stands, canact be avoided; but the same law, ino order perhaps to check avy partiality, declares that the room where the trial takes place shall be an _ open court, where the public shall have the right to go and hear and listen to the proceedings.

| Now, onder the Scott Act the Inspector may pick out any two Justices aud Jodge his information, aud when

this has been done, no other Justice can take part in the trial. It is, however, reasonable to suppose that the Chief Inspector exercises a cautious discretion in choosing the Magistrates whom he ‘elects to try the case, aud we are sure |that, having done this, he should not go |any further and provide a court room for them. That the Inspector’s office is an unfit piace for the trial of cases of this kiud no one wili deny. It hes no accommodation for the public, aud | the public are not aware that in addition | to its being the Inspector’s office, it is also a court room,—and therefore no one lever thinks of going there to hear the trials. We repeat that we have no reason ‘for thinking that anything like injustice has beeu done ; but we nevertheless deem it our duty to direct the Magistrates aiteution to the irs regularity in the hope that it may ovt oveur aguin.

-~-It seems likely that the social uproar about the Grand Duke of Hesse for dar- ing to make matrimonial proposals to his sister-in law, the Princess Beatrice, ‘while contemplating a morganatic not stop, the movement in favor of merriage with a deceased wife’s sister. One of the English papers says that “the German alliances of the Royal Family and their

connections have been fraught with danger to the public morals of the

country ; and that, however severe the Queen may be on any dereliction from propricty in her own court, she has not hesitated to sacrifice her daughters to meu of locse and questionable morality.”

Drowning of Mr. James Hillis, WHILE ATTENDING HIS HERRING NEIS— SWIMS TO THE SHORE, BUT FALLS EXHAUSTED AND DROWNS,

A sap drowning accident occurred at Tracadie, yesterday morning. Mr. James Ellis, a wel!-to-do farmer of Tracadie Sand- hills, was the victim. Mr. Michael Ready, of Tracadie, relates the following circum- stances of the melancholy affair: —

Yesterday morning Mr. Ellis, in company with a bey twelve or thirteen years of age, named Bradley, left the shore in a small boat to at'end his herring nets, which were set in Tracadie Bay. On approaching the net, Mr. Ellis stoodin the boat, with the oar in one hand. In stooping to catch the net buoy with the other hand, he lost his balance and fell overboard. He saw that the boat was so small that, had he attempt- ed to get into her again, he would un- doubtedly upset her and drown young Bradley. He, therefore, after taking off his boots, started to swim for the shore. The boy gave the alarm, and Mr. Patrick McInnis, who was about geing out to attend his nets, heard his cries and came running dewn the shore to his assistance. He saw Ellis swimming to the shore, and when he got on the flats he saw him stand in about three feet of water and then fall forward apparently from exhaustion. Mr. McInnis huried towards him, but found life extinct when he lifted the body from the water,

The deceased was aman of sixty years. He was married, and leaves a wife and three married daughters. He was a re- markably good swimmer, and when he left the boat was no doubt confide::t of reaching the shore.

The Sharon divorce case, now going on in San Francisco, has entered upon a period of surprising revelations. Mrs. Martha Wilson testified that she gave false evidence on behalf of the plaintiff, and Mr. H. A. Wells, who testified for the plaintiff, that he had heard Mr. Sharon introduce Miss Hill to Mr. True, of Santa Cruz, as his wife, confessed, on the 12th, that his story was a fabrication, nething of the kind hav- ing occurred. In making the confession she burst into tears and said; ‘*Trne told me there was $250 000 in the affair, and | was to have $100,000.”
