Scott Act Amendments

Tue Scott Act has been made applicable

to certain portions of Ontario and other Provinces not yet organized into municipal counties, and to the Provinces of British

Columbia. Various technicalities in con- nection with the jurisdiction of magistrates have been removed. The liquor seized under a search-warrant can now all be de- stroyed, whereas the law formerly per the of only twenty

Prohibition in the States.

THe nomination of General Chester B. Fiske, of New Jersey, as the Prohibition candidate for the Presidency, is accom- panied by a party platform which declares that the manufacture and sale of liquor is a criminal offence; that national constitution amendmeuts are necessary; and that any form of high license is contrary to good gov- ernment. It arraigns old parties four com- plicity in the liquor crime, and declares for immediate abvlition of internal revenue. It holds that the right of suffrage rests not on sex, color or nationality, and that where it has been withheld it should be restored ; that public revenue should be raised by im- port duty and equitable tax on property, but that no surplus should be accumulated ; that civil appointments should be based on moral and educational qualities ; that poly- gamy is immoral and should be suppressed ; that the Sabbath that arbitration settling disputes between

should not be violated; method of nations and

is the wise large employers and employes; that equal wages should be paid men and women, and that immigration iaws should be so con- structed as to prevent pauper and convict immigration.

The Prohibition party intend to carry on an aggressive campaign, and expect to poll a larger vote than ever before, the greater proportion of which will be drawn from the Republican party. In a good many States, the party is becoming an embarrassing ele- ment to both the old parties.

Editorial Notes.

The Tilt Cove copper mine Newfound- land, has been sold to an Englishman for $384,000.

—From Manitoba and the Northwest more rain is reported and the hopes of farmers are raised higher for even a larger crop than last year’s.

~The oatmeal millers of Ontario held a special meeting a few days ago, and decided to advance the price of standard oatmeal fifty cents per barrel—making the price in carloads at Toronto $5.85.

—The net profits of the Canadian Bank of Commerce, for the past eleven months, amount to $514,673, or a fraction under ten ver cent. of the paid-up capital. Not so bad ina country whose commerce 1s ruined by the N. P.

—The C. P. R. Company work on tem- perance lines. They have long prohibited the use of liquor by their employes, and as owners of the town site of the town of Donald, B. C., they have lately issued orders prohibiting liquor selling and gamb- ling on their lands.

—The Berlin correspondent of the London Daily Telegraph remarks that the British army keeps too few horses in time of peace as compared withthe number absolutely necessary for war, and adds that it is far better that a regiment should, as in Germany, have more horses than men in

order to provide against unavoidable accidents. If the movement in the Mother Country in favor of making better pre-

para'ions for war should lead, as is very likely, to a closer approach to the German system in regard to cavalry ar artillery horses, the increased demand cold not be supplied at home and the military authori- ties would have to come to Canada as the only available source of supply.

—It is reported from London that the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council will probably grant permission to Donald McMaster, . C., to appeal from the judg- ment of the Supreme Court in the Glen- garry election case. The proceedings will be quite unusual, but, according to the opinion of Sir Horace Davey, Q. C., a leader of the English bar, the application will be granted on the ground that the con- struction of the Act, and the validity of the order extending the time for trial, are questions of general interest, and on ac- count of the difference in opinion amongst the judges of the Supreme Court, the Bench having been divided three to two. On the merits Sir Horace also thinks that appeal will be successful, the true construction of the Act, the time during which any session of Parliament

may last is extended tu the computation of

the six months’ delay within which the petitioa must be tried. It is possible that the great Grit briber (Mr. Purcell) may yet be compelled to give up the seat which he

obtained by eley aUng the standard of cor-

ruption.

“THE DAILY EXAMINER, =

City Council,

| The regular monthly meeting of the City | Council was held last evening, Mayor Havi- land presiding. Every member of the | Board was present. After routine and a brief explanation from the Mayor regarding the result of the recent unsuccessful mission to Ottawa, in connection with the rebate of duty on water pipes,—

Mayor Haviland directed the attention of the Council to Section 166 of the Act con- solidating the Acts of Incorporation which provides for the immediate appointing of a sanitary oflicer at a salary of not less than $300 a year, and asked what action they in- tended taking in the matter.

After some discussion the appointment

| was deferred.

Councillor Crabbe directed attention to the case of Police Sergeant McGonnell, who has been ill for some considerable time, and moved that he be paid $1 a day—police- man’s wages—for the month of May. Carried unanimously.

Councillor Davison said he had been given to understand that the well on Ed- ward Street had not been properly cleaned, although the contractor had put in a bill for doing the work.

The payment of the bill in questicn was ordered to be deferred until Councillor Davison reports that the work has been properly done.

Mayor Haviland read a letter from Me- Lean & Macdonald, claiming $60 compen- sation for injuries sustained by John Somers, the little stepson of Wm. Williams, who came in contact with a wire obstruc- tion placed on the Richmond Street side of Market Square some time ago, and who has since been under medical treatment.

Councillor Douse asked who authorized the putting up of the wire fence.

Councillor Crabbe said he instructed the janitor to put it up in order to keep people from driving over the Square and cutting itup. As soon as the barbed wire had been complained of it was taken down and one without barbs substituted.

condition of the pump at Victoria Park. -

Councillor Byrne submitted estimates for the new suits for the policemen, and recommended that tenders be called for. Carried.

Theophilus Stewart, Esq., then address- ed the Council on the subject of the late calamitous fire in this city, relating the steps he had taken in the matter of holding an investigation into the origin thereof, and expressed his regret that the investi- gation had not been held owing to the non- attendance of the members of the Fire Department who had signed the requisi- tion. He thought the Council should take some action in reference to the conduct of the Department.

Mayor Haviland explained that the City Council had no jurisdiction over the Fire Department in the matter complained of.

The Chief Engineer said that an _ investi- gation would be held as soon as the Depart- ment had some evidence to work upon.

The Mayor read the application of Mrs. Charles Nicholson who claims $30 for board, washing and medicine for Maria Richards, a young woman who died at her house some time ago.

Councillor Davison, from the tender com- mittee, reported that but one teuder—that of Robert McLaurin—had been received for the collecting of the market tolls. Mr. McLaurin’s tender was $550 per year, or if the fish were allowed to remain on the square, as at present, $600. His ‘securities are W. M. Coffin and Geo. D. Davison.

After a good deal of discussion the tender was accepted and the Recorder authorized to draft a contract.

Councillor Douse referred to the case of Capt. John Hughes, now in jail for violat- ing the Canada Temperance Act. He moved a resolution, the purport of which was that ‘* the Council feel convinced that Mr. Hughes has already rendered a full and adequate atonement to the demands of public justice for his offence, and that * * * this Council are of the opinion that the Minister of Justice, in using the gracious prerogative of the Crown in his (Hughes’) behalf, will be doing an act which will recommend itself to the people of Charlottetown.”

Councillor Byrne seconded the motion, which was carried on a vote of 6 to 4, and the Clerk was instructed to transmit a copy of the resolution to the Minister of Justice.

Council adjourned.

Heroism.

Sir,—-What might have resulted in a very serious loss of life oceurred yesterday afternoon near McPhee’s Point, in Savage Harbor Bay. It appears that a young fel- low named Farquharson, in taking a boat from the harbor to the bay, took the wrong channel and got stuck in the mud. After trying for some time to float his little Argo, he concluded to wade to the nearest land. Divesting himself of all his garments save the cutty sark, and armed with a pole he plunged into the chilly water. After wad- ing ashort distance he stuck fast in the mud and seaweed, and, becoming chilled, would soon have died had not his lusty screams brought to his rescue Miss McPhee and Miss Bambrick, who launched an old goose boat, polled out and rescued the poor lad from his perilous position. On reach- ing terra firma he was unable to stand, but the brave girl, not to be outdone, grasped him in her arms and carried him to her father’s house where, under kind and skil- ful treatment, he soon recovered. The poor fellow would certainly have perished had it not been for the bravery and pre- sence ot mind of Miss McPhee.

Such heroism should not go unrewarded. Many have received a medal for a less de- serving action.

Yours truly, Burrato Br.

A FIZZLE,

Jack McGee, Arthur Upham and ‘Doc ”’ O'Connell, who gave a sparring exhibition in Scott’s Hall, in this city, a few weeks ago, announced that they would give a similar exhibition in the Victoria Rink, St. John, on Friday evening last. At the hour appointed for the performance to be- gin those who were to take part were the only persons on hand, and after waiting upwards of half an hour for some one to put in an appearance the managers closed the Rink and departed.

eg en Telegraphic Communication.

Sir,—Among the questions of the great- est importance that were promised to be submitted for discussion before our Board of Trade, at its formation last year, was that of greater facilities in our telegraphic communication with the mainland. Stran- gers visiting our city, at this season of the year especially, are annoyed when they call at the Telegraph Office at midday and find it closed, and the same in the evening. Surely a _remedy can be had for this hor- rible state of things. The fact that the Telegraph Office in this city is closed against the public fifteen hours out of every twenty-four is a shame and a disgrace, and we call on our Board of Trade Directors to convene a general meeting, at their earliest convenience, for the purpose of ventilating this question, in order, if possible, to initiate steps for the redress of the griev- ances so long and loudly complained of in reference to our telegraphic communication.

Yours, Pusiic OPrNion.
