THE DAILY EXAMINER.
Commenting on the new buildings and improvements of Charlottetown the Sum- merside Journal says :—‘'lt is a mystery to us what use is to be made of these expen- sive new houses when our people, if we are to believe all we read in the papers, are leaving in hundreds for the United States.”
The brewers of the United States have had ® statement drawn up, under which they claim that of 859 murders reported in the New York papers, only 98 were due to liquer, and of 554 suicides, liquor was re- sponsible for 98. It seems to us that the admitted cause of so many crimes 15 an exceedingly dangerous thing, and that those who manufacture and supply it should not, on their own showing, be tolerated. it is an easy thing to write down ninety- eight murders and ninety-eight suicides, but who ean estimate the loss, trouble, misery and despair which they represent /
The St. John Telegraph says :— ‘* It is vratifying to learn that an attempt will made to give more satisfac

—it is p'easing to note the many im- provements in house gardens, etc., which are being made on the outskirts of the town, particularly on the extension of Great George Street. Though many of the citizens in that locality are not rich, their good taste and industry will soon make it one of the pleasantest approaches of the city. A very noticeable and credit- able change has been made in the grounds of the Spring Park School. The plot is surrvunded by a row of spruce bushes, in- side of which are flower beds extending along each side, while the space in the middie is levelled and smoothed, the whole being surrounded by a good fence. The example of the trustees, teachers and scholars of this schoo! might be imitated by trustees, teachers and scholars throughout tie Peovinee, to the marked impro®&ment of the appearance of the country and to the elevation of the taste of the coming generation.
—The Summerside Journal announces with regret the death of William Minns Howe, Esquire, which occurred on Tuesday morning last, after a brief illness. Mr. Howe the Journal says, was born in Halifax tuward the close of the year 1819, and completed his education at the University of King’s College, Winsdor, of which he was a B. A. He was called to the Bar of Nova Scotia in 1840, and to that of New Brunswick two years later. In 1854 he came to this Island and commenced the practice of his profession in Charlottetown, where he resided for some years until he removed to St. Eleanor’s, at that time the capital of Prince County. Mr. Howe was a profound classical schooler and his fund of information was exhaustless, His conver- sational powers were rare, and he was4 most entertaining companion. Fore some years, during the most exciting times of our political history, he was a frequent con- tributor to the Examiner, while owned by Eiward Whelan. As a near relative of the great Joseph Howe of Nova Scotia, his political sympathies ran in the same
direction, and his writings for the press were master-pieces of the English lan- cuige. A kindly gentleman of the old
hool, so few of whose members survive, > has passed away leaving many friends who will long cherish tender recollections f him.
-An incident, which transpired in the current week, indicates the means by which the burden of the public debt of Cinadla will be materially lessened. It ap- ears that the Anthrac.te Mining Company “| Bantf have paid inty the Dominion jreasury tae sum of fifty-four thonssnd doilars for coal lands. This fact taken in emnection with the discoveries of valuabie idinerals 2li along the jine from Ottawa to Vancouver, shows that the country will pot be withvut substantial compensation for Le meney expended m the construction oi the Canada Pacific Railway. Already, as the Empire remarks, ** the copper mines vf ne Sudbury district, the silver mines of the Port Arthur region, the coal of the Souris country, Lethbridge, the Bow River, Banff, Koo enay, etc., are everywhere spoken of as affording a limitless fiela for eapital and enterprise.” A judicious Gov- erament wili not fail to manage these lumit- less resources of the west in such a way that the public exchequer will eventually be re- eouped every dvilar laid out in opening them up and making them available. We look at the figures which set forth the amount of the debt. Of course they are large. The great work that has been accomplished necessarily entailed a large increase vf debr. But the enterprise has been successful beyond expectation—the speculation is one which will surely pay well in the end. The burden of the public debt upon this country is hardly felt now ; and every settler who goes into the country asaresult of the policy under which the amount of the debt was necessarily en- larged, will help te make it lighter, and every acre of agricultural land or mining area sold, will benefit the whole country.
About a year ago, J. E. Newcombe, of Hants County, Nova Scotia, failed in busi- ness, leaving liabilities of $40,000, the assets being ships, real estate, lumber, etc. Nearly all the creditors executed the deed of assiguinent, the exceptions being, mainly several HHaliiax aud Moutreal ‘parties : ° ® , rhe assignee, Dr. J. B. Black, has just wound up the estate, paying in full all the
reditors, beth preferred and non-pre- erred; while the creditors who refused to sun the deed are, of course, shut out from ticipation. If all had signed, the dis- tribution would have been about 90 per Mr. Newcourbe gave up everything “ ered.tors and begins the world anew. He lappy creditors presented the assigne. | th @ Sliver tea service, and well thev | might, tor the whole business was cheaply, |

Bishop Courtney's Visit.
SERVICES AT ALBERTON —KILDARE CAPES— ALMA AND O'LEARY.
His Lorosurr arrived at Alberton by the noon train on Monday. He was met at the station by the Rev. Mr. McKenzie and proceeded to the residence of W. B. Dyer, Esq., whose guest he was while in the Western parish. After lunch he walked with Mr. McKenzie to Alberton Harbor, Cascumpec Point, and visited several Church of England families in the vicinity. A service was held in St. Peter’s Church at 7.30 p.m. The church was crowded. Twenty-six persons were confirmed. His Lordship delivered an excellent address.
On Tuesday morning he drove to Kildare Capes (distant nine miles) and held a service at Christ Church, confirming six persons aad addressing the congregation.
After taking dinner at the residence of T. Ruggles, Esq., His Lordship drove to Alma, six miles from Kildare. He took tea with E. Bearisto, Esq., and held a service in Trinity Church, confirming fifteen and consecrating the burying ground. The new church was not ready for consecration.
He then drove back to Alberton and left on the morning of the 6th for O'Leary. There he held a service at10.30a, m., in the Jubilee Church. : ;
His Lordship made a good impression upon all who heard him ; and it is regretted that his visit to Alberton and vicinity was at the busiest season of the year. Mr. McKenzie has such a large parish—Christ Church at Kildare and Jubilee Church at O'Leary, being twenty miles apart—that very great credit is due to him for the for ward movement apparent in every section.

Can't Catch the Fish,
SMALL FAKES OF CODFISH TAKEN BY AMERI-
CAN VESSELS WI2H THE SALT CLAM BAIT.
A dispateh from Gloucester says that the schooner Hattie B. West arrived Saturday from the Western Banks, where she has been on 4 fishing voyage for nine weeks. During that time she has only secured 25,- 000 pounds of codfish, Tho crew said Saturday that they had enough of fishing with salt clams, as it was like duing penauce to go to the Banks and attempt to catch a fare of fish with that kind of bait, as the provincial vessela would come from the land with herring and catch all the fish they could take care of, while they were losing valuable time and getting no.fish. They report seeing a large fleet of vessels engaged in the same kind of tishing with like results. Some of the vessels had been out three months and had only forty tubs of codfish. The schooner Porter L. Roberts had only fifteen tubs, and had been out nine weeks. Capt. Vail, of the schooner Marion, was absent nine weeks and secured only 30,000 pounds of codfish. His owners were dissatisfied with the result of the voyage. The Nova Scotia vessels and Americans who are reported to have procured licenses to buy bait are doing well, and afew trawlersthat havealready arrived, —_ used fresh bait, have brought in good ares.
Sensation In Chicago.
A tremendous sensation occurred in Judge Jamieson’s Court Chicago, on the 1st inst. Mrs. Meckie L. Rawson was im- patiently waiting for the divorce case of her husband, Banker Rawson, to be called. Col. H. C. Whitney, her husband’s at- torney, was sitting at a side table writing, when the Court was suddenly startled to heara pistol shot, and Col. Whitney at once disappeared under the table. The shot was fullowed by four more in rapid succession, and Mrs. Rawson was seen pursuing Whitney with a revolver. Mrs. Rawsou succeeded in emptying her revolver it Whitney before she could be captured. | lwo of the balls hit the lawyur, one taking | etloet below the ur-in, and the other in tho je't ley. The wouwid near the right groin | wi.l probably be fatal. once ordered Mrs,

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Letter from Mr. Fitzgerald.
Sir,—The partial reports of the police already in of the sanitary condition of the city,shows that the provisions of the statute of last session regulating water closets are not being observed as they should be; and generally that a large number of yards and back premises are still in a dirty and un- wholesome state. There may be some ex- cuse as regards the first mentioned matter, as the alteration in the law is not yet fully known, but in the latter none; on the seventh day of June there should not be a dirty yard in the city.
I write now, as the police go out next week to make their final inspection and re- port; surely a word of reminder is all that

any citizen requires.
Perhaps to publish the full reports would | be more effective. What an honor roll it would be! There would be some names on it, well, that would look better on any other list. I append acopy of sections 161 and 162 that all may know the law in the matter I first referred to.
Yours, R. R. Firzceravp.
161. No privy or ‘eed vault shal] be used in the City of Charlottetown which per: mits human excrement or urine; to fal} into any hole or pit dug in the ground, and all such vies or privy ~aults now in use, shall immediately be thoroughly cleaned and filled up with ashes or clean clay.
162. There shall only be used for such pur- pose properly constructed drawers or bexes placed on or above the surface of the ground’ which said drawers or boxes shall, at such in- tervals of time as they shall severally require it, or as ordered by the Board of Health of the said City, be emptied and thoroughly cleansed, and the contents thereof, wirh all convenient dispatch,, deposited outside the city limits.
Hanging Signs.
2,—‘' Immediately after the publication of this Bye-Law, every sign or other projection fixed or hanging and projecting beyond the line of any house, shop or building to which the same is attached, and over any sidewalk or street of the said city, shall be removed and taken down, &c.
3.—‘* No person shall hereafter place, fix or hang up any sign or other projection so that the same shall project over any sidewalk or street in the said city or beyond the line o any house, - or building, to which the same is attached.”
Six,—Whilst most of our citizens haye yielded a ready obedience to the above bye-law, there are some who have not. On Queen Street are to be seen wooden and iron bars extending all acroes the sidewalk, from which are extended articles of mer- chandize. On the south side of the Market Square, lettered signs project partly over the sidewalk; they, also, are used for similar purpose. Hanging signs attached to stores on the north side haye not in all cases been removed.
Is the law to remain a dead letter, or do the civic authorities intend to enforce it? Perhaps they are waiting for the Scott Act Prosecuter to lay the information. Who knows? What has become of the crank who has slung so much printer’s ink against hanging siens for the past year or so? This bye-law embodies his antiquated ideas. If he meant what he wrote, the time has ar- rived for him to crawl out of his shell and see that those signs, so dangerous to human life, be immediately taken down, else have the owners summoned to the polite court to be dealt with as the law directs.
