The Dailn Examiner a: FEBRUARY 1, 1885,

Our Indians.

Sre Jouw MacpoNnarp has submitted a full and elaborate report about the In diavs of Canada. He has evidently taken | pains to obtain all the informat‘ou he could about there interesting subjects oF his particular department. He says the Indians of the Province of Quebec and of the Maritime Provinces certainly merit more liberal treatment in the matter of education than they have hitherto re- ceived at the hands of the Government ; and unless improved methods for educat- ing and traiuving the children are adopt- ed, but little hope for the intellectual enlightenment or social elevation of the Indians of those Provinces need be entertained. He therefore suggests that in order to give practical effect to the above ideas, two schools of the in- dustrial type, with accommodation for at least eighty pupils in each, should 2 established in the Province of Quebe:; and one of sach institutions in cach of the Provinces of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick—that into either of the lat er | institutions, Indian childrev trom P: ince Edward Isiand be also admitted, tho number of schools to be hereafter in- ereased, should the success of those first established justify such augumentation.

In Priace Edward Islaud, Sir Jobo says i—

‘The condition of Indian matters is not as satisfactory as we would wish. The two reserves, viz., on Lenvox Island and in Township 39, fail to attract to them all the ladians in the Province. In fact, as many reside off the reserves as upon them. The Department has held out inducements to the non-residents to remove to the reserves, offering to assist them in building houses, and iv the cultivation of land; but little effect has attended these efforts. In the case of sowe of the non-resident Indians— for instance, those at Rocky Point—it is perhaps better that they should remain where they are, as they are doing tolerably well, from an _ industrial point of view, and oceupy comfortable houses. There seems, therefore, to be no sufficient reason in the case of Indians so sitvated, for re- moving them to either of the reserves. There are, however, other Indians, living in scattered groups in the vicinity of towns and settlements in the Province, who are im wretched circumstances, and it is these poor creatures whom the Department is desirous of seeing comfortably seitled upon the reserves. The inducements, however, held out to them to remove, have hitherto failed of their object. The local management, also, of those on the reserves, has not been satisfactory. The Super- intendent combines with his other dutics the office of school teacher. It was thought that the latter position would not be incompatible with the other, but it is found that the duties of the two positions clash. The Superintenden hav- ing to attend during a greater part of the day te the school, has not sufficient time to give tothe instruction of the Indians in the proper cultivation of their land, or to the other daties of the agency. A change would therefore appear to be necessary. Itis thought that were a Superintendent appointed, whose whole time could be de- voted to the instruction of the Indians ia agriculturs, in curing fish (there is a fine mackerel fishery near the reserve on Len- nox Island) and in other industries, and in seeing that they were comfortably domi- ciled, many of the Indians who prefer, at present, to reside near the towns and settle- menis, on perceiving the improved con- dition of matters on the reserves, would abandon their wretched ways of living and agree to settle thereon. The Indians upon the reserves added, during the year, eight acres of newly-broke™ land to the cultivable ares. The school is reported to be efficiently conducted, and the progress of the pupils who attend regularly to be good; but the attendance is very small when com- pared with the number of children on Len- nox Island of an age to attend school.

*- We observe that the Conservatives of King’s County have made the circumstance of Dr. Mecintyre’s illness the occasion of rallying their scattered forces to the field of battle. We think they might bave manifested a litile more hursanity. Could they not wait, at least, till the attending physician had abandoned hope ; even till the friendly death stupor had set in and dulled the senses ; till the ears of the sufferer could hear not the rallying cry, that must sound more to him like the bay of the blocd- hound thirsting for its victim. Shame,

32

gentlemen |

This is a specimen. It is from the Pioneer. There is not the slightest ground for the delicate insinuation, that Dr Melntyre’s illness has somethiog to do {with Conservative organization in Kings County. The movement was contemplated loag before Dr. McIntyre was taken ill, and we feel sure that those who advertized the meeting at George towv, knew nothing whatever about Dr. Melatyre’s illsess when the advertize- ment was inserted. The Pioneer sees unworthy motives for everything the Liberal-Conservatives do. The whitest

thing Jooks yellow to the jaundiced eye. |

— We have great pleasure in direct- jog the attention of our readers, espe- cially young farmers’ sons and farmers’ daughters, to the essay of Mr. James D. Dewar, printed in this day’s issue, en- titled: “ Farming the Most Houorable aad Profitable Pursuit.” It is well written, aod may, theretore, be easi! read. The reading of it will make those young people who are inclined to fret over farm work think twice before they try to better their condition by coming to live in the towas, and setting up as shop- keepers, etc, What Mr. Dewar says about the importance of young farmers choosing suitable wives aud settling

Four miles of thin ice and a strong northeast wind prevented the couriers yesterday from crossivg the Straits. | Had there been a powerful tughoat at Cape Traverse,this difficulty would have been overcome acd the mails would have been forwarded to and from the Island

Mrs Jarley and Her Waxworks.

This inimitable lady and her accom- plished husband entertained a large au dience of our citizens last evening in the Athenwam. The figures were all that we ventured to predict. They were exceed- ingly life-like and amusing ina high degree, though, as the good lady proprietre:s had eceasion more than once to remark, they had *‘ got knocked about considerable while coming over in them boats.” With the tact of a true show-woman, Mrs. Jarley brought first upon the boards a very beautt- ul and striking representation of P. E. Island—a fair, girlish figure, bearing the ever-appropriate motto (for girls), ‘‘ parva sub ingenta,” and surrounded by the familiar sheaf of wheat, bunches of large carrots, beets, and other things, to give people an idea of the immenss capabilities of our Island soil. This at once put the audience in a good humor; for, next to bav- ing themselves flattered, our people are most pleased when they see their country represented in a favorable light. The programme was faithfully adhered to—the different figures and _ their dyogses and appendages having evidently been the careful selection of an artistic eye. We were much pleased with the illustrated songs. The illustrations wore very good, indeed—some of them really beautiful in face and form—and the songs were exceptionally well sung. Signorina Squallini, the Welsh dwarf, Mother Goose, Jack in the Box and other comic figures, supplied the audience with lots of fun, and the running descriptions and commentaries ofthe manager, Mr Jarley, kept them bubbling over continually. The want of a stage and stage appliances was much felt; and persons seated far from the single stove suffered on account of the cold. These were the only drawb-cks—though we doubt not that good, careful Mrs. Jarley in- wardly rejoiced that her ‘‘precious figgers’’ were in no danger of melting. We must not forget the song contributions of Miss Minnia Palmer and Mr. H. James Palmer. They were excellent, as was also the piano solo of Mr. Tanton. The community are much indebted to Miss Palmer Miss G. Pope, Lieut. Haselwood, Mr. L. W. Watson, and the rest, who exerted them- selves to obtain the services of Mr. and Mrs. Jarley in this winter season, when we have time to appreciate a good thing and enjoy a good laugh.

Struck by a Train.

MK, DIXON'S NARROW ESCAPE AT ROYALTY JUNCTION.

Mr. William Dixon, a farmer who re- sides a short distance from Royalty Janc- tion had, last evening, a miraculous escape from death. He was driving towards home with a load of wood, and just as he was crossing the railway track near the semephore at the junction, Tignish freight train, in charge ot Conductor Me Kie, came rushing along. The old man seeing the train, got bewildered and stop- ped his horse. Driver Pound seeing the old man's plight, blew down brakes, and revers- ed the engine. In a moment a crash was heard, the affrighted passengers rushed to the platforms, and the train almost imme- diately came to a standstill. The engine had struck the wood-loaded sleigh as Mr. Dixon escaped from it, and sent i's con- tents whizzing to the track and adjoining ground. The shafts and harness were torn from the horse, but the old man held on to the animal. When tha train hands went to his assistance, he held the reins with one hand, and pressed _ his left breast with the other ‘to keep his heart,” he said, ‘from leaping out of his mouth.” It was a narrow escape, and Mr, Dixon has reason to be thankful his loss is not greater than his load. ‘The engine did not receive any injury.

Dynemite Legislation Necessary. Anti-Dynemite legislation cannot pro- ceed too quickly, Recently in New York threats were used in connection with dry- goods employers that if they discharge cer- tain clerks their stores would be destroyed by dynamite, and within a few day’s war has been carried into this new field of oper- ations. Yet another use for dynamite has been found. When employers do not close their shops at a certain hour, the remedy again is dynamite. A Wilkesbarre, Penn., telegram says :—‘‘ Threats have been made to blow up the shoe store of Elias Lowen- stein, who refused to keep an agreement to close early.” So the wickedness spreads from city to city and country to conntry ; and soon for every form of grievance or fancied injury the remedy will be—dyna- mite. The people of the United States, who have watched the unrestricted manufacture of this article grow, until it has assumed enormous proportions, and who have toler- ated the public advocacy of assassination by dynamite in their principal cities, sre awak- ing to the fact that they have practically encoureged the development of a monster, which, unless legislation interferes, will bring mourning into many a household and destruction to every man’s doorstep.— Montreai Herald English Land Owners in the United States

There is at this moment a bill before Congress, presented by the Committze on Public Lands, that has for its obj-ct the placing of restrictions on the ownership of land by aliens. The bill is undoubtedly directed against the English capitalist, and when the investment of his millions is in- terfered with by legislation in the United States there is little doubt of a large portion of his c»pital’ finding its way to the newly opened up One of tho items contained in the bill is that foreign capital, mainly English, holds 21,000,000 acres of land in the United States, and this the committee look upon as both dangerous and coutrary to the best interests of their free institutions. It is claimed that little or no obstacle will stand in the way of the passage of the bill, the grounds set forth being in every way expressive of the pepn- lar mind in that country, where the public

down with prudence, is particularly noteworthy. 7

, i LETTERS TO THE BOUTES, | . “The Church in Council.” 7 } Six, —The addieas of the Rev. Gregory | McDonald, on the above subject, was no} doubt extremely edifying to the members and friends of the ‘‘ Catholic Literary Union.” Whether, however, the report of it which a; powed in the Dairy Examiner will be as interesting to your readers who do not heloug to the Rev. gentleman’s denomina- tion, is another maiter, tho: gh some of the statements therein contained will at least be news tothem. But I must not forget that the lecture was merely a statement of ‘“Gatholie belief from a Catholic stand- point,” and also that it was primarily in- tended for members of the Roman Catholic communion. The learned lecturer appears to have had no difficulty in showing that the Roman Catholic Church ‘* is identical with the Church estab:ished by Jesus Christ nearly two thousand years ago.” aes

How he accomplished such a feat,'n view of the fact that for many years aiter the Christian Church was established, the Bishops of Rome neither claimed nor ex- ercised power over other Bishops-—was un- fortunately not stated in your report. Even at the Council of Chaleedon, to which che lecturer referred, held A. D., 451, the Bishop of New Rome (Constantinople) was on precisely the same equality with the Bishop of Old Rome; and it was not ill A. D., 666, that the Emperor Phocas con- ferred on the latter the title of ‘* Universal Bishop.”

The idea of claiming that the early Gen- eral Councils of the Christian Church be- long exclusively to the Romen Catholic body is preposterous. Ali Roman Catholic General Councils must be called by the ‘ope and presided over by him; but the Council of Nice was neither called by the Bishop of Rome, wor presided over by him. He was not even present at it. Bet thongh without an infall:ble head, this council formulated a creed founc- ed on the Word of God, which is still held by all evangelical churches throughout the world, while at the same time they reject those mediaeval dogmas which the Roman Catholic Council of Trent empowered the Pope to add to the above noble creed—dogmas unknowr. to the prim- ative Catholic Cuurch,and belonging exclus- ively to the Roman Catholic denomination. The lecturer, among other things, estab- lished the Roman Church’s claim to unity, Catholicity, &c. But in what sense the Roman Catholic church is Catholic or uni- versal I am quite at a loss to know, as she forms but a part of Christendom, and the lecturer would hardly undertake to estab- lish that a part is equal to the whole. To say nothing of the Greek Church, with her millions, the Anglican, Scotch and other reformed churches while rejecting the im- primitive dogma of the supremacy of the Pope, hold firm to the belief of the apos- tolic church by the faith once delivered to the saints. As to the unity of the Roman Church which the lecturer established, had time per: mitted he could, no doubt, have given striking illustrations of it in the bitter warfare between the Jansenists and Jesuits, and shown how some infallible Popes blessed the latter while other Popes, act- ing with the same infallibility, denounced and banished them.

He could also have given curious illustra- tions of this ‘‘unity” from the action of many of the ablest Archbishops and Bishops who attended the General Council at Rome in 1870, who opposed the promul- gation of the new cogma of Papal infalli- bility in the most determined way, and who only submitted when overcome by point of numbers.

But why go far away for illustrations; when, in that most Catholic Province of Quebec at the present moment, we see the Jesuits and their leaders in bitter and deter- mined warfare against the Archbishop of Quebec and his supporters and friends. If the learned lecturer could really ‘‘estab- lish” unity in the Roman Church in that much distracted Province he would be doing a signal service to his denominaticn there, and would no doubt in return receive the grateful thanks of the Pope.

The lecturer's reference to the action of the Council of Trent, in regard to ‘‘ the error of Luther and other heresiarcha,” must have been truly refreshing to his hearers. Tne Council condemned ‘* Luther’s error.” ‘*But what was his error?’ some of your readers may ask, and may be surprised to hear that it was in proclaim- ing the very same great doctrine of justifi- cation by faith alone which the Apostle Paul had so carefully taught to the early Church of Rome.

The condemnation passed on ‘‘ Luther’a error,” intended for a curse, really proved ablessing. The nations and people that embraced this error are now the most powerful and prosperous on earth, and exercise a controlling influence on the affairs of the world.

It may also be added that it is in those countries which hold the ‘terror of Luther,” that the Roman Catholic Church at present enjoys her greatest freedom; and ferthex, that but a few months ago the strange spectacle was seen of Bishops of that com- munion appealing to a sovereign, holding the ‘‘error of Luther,” to restrain a must Catholic king from doing violence to the church. Could the Fathers of Trent have dreamed that the whirlgig of time would have brought about such a change? There are one or two other points in the report deserving of notice; but I forbear at:present as—in the words of the Rev. lecturer, I do not wish to appear a; a ‘’ religious contro- versialis®,”’
