THE DAILY EXAMINER.

~ DECEMBER 18, 1890.

Political Visitors.

CHARLOTTETOWN is to be honored by a visit from the Leader of the Opposition and Mr. Fisher, M. P., of Brome. The former is a refined and cultured Canadian gentle- wan of French origin ; the latter is one of the most agreeable and talented of the party by which the former is supported in Parliament—and he is a good advocate of temperance principles. We regret that they will arrive at the most inclement sea- son of the year—a season in which their visit will necessarily be accompanied by the least personal enjoyment, and at which they can form no opinion concerning the beauty and capabilities of this ** gem of the Northern sea.” They will, however, with- out doubt, be made as comfortable as possible both on board the steamship ‘Stanley ” and at the hospitable residence of Mr. L. H. Davies, M.P. Perhaps they may be able to taste—certainly they wili have a foretaste—of our Island's Christmas cheer. They will, too, be placed in a posi- tion in which they may form a tolerably definite and correct opinion concerning the disadvantages under which this Pro- vince continues to labor for want of means of ‘continuous communication” with the Mainland.

We confess to a certain amount pect for Mr. Laurier. He did not his position of Leader of the Opposition by the arts of intrigue or by ‘** diut of cheek.” He was elected to it by the sulfrages of his fellows as the “‘best man among them.” The mystery is how one of his high character ever became a member of the Party of Shifts ; the party which has, in recent years been ‘‘everything by turns and uothing long ;” the Party which has been driven from one position to another until finally it has adopted a policy which if successful, must inevitably result in—

1. Direct Taxation.

2. Restricted trade with Great Britain and all the world except the United States. :

3. Annexation to the Great Republic.

of

obtain

res-

There is no cause for the adoption of a policy involving results so revolutionary. By simply maintaining the even tenor of her way until the Democrats obtain power in the States, Canada will gain all the trade concessions that she desires ; for it is the policy of the Democrats to protect the industries of the States by repealing or lowering the duties levied upon pro- ducts and raw materials such as Canada has to sell.

—In respect to Mr. Carruthers com- plaint that Tue Examiner did not refer to the fact that he called attention to the ** police register” as well as to the ‘* blue book,” we need only say that Mr. Car- ruthers did nvt take exception’te our fig- ures drawa for the police registers of Char- lottetown and Halifax. Mr. Carruthers condemned as ‘‘not reliable” only the figures drawn from the blue book ; conso- quently tofthese} nly we deemed it the duty of Toe Examiner to refer when replying to Mr. Carruthers. If Tae Examiner has in any way misrepresented Mr Carruthers, the §mie-represe itation was un nteational —and we regret it.

‘fhe Silken Tie.

We announce to-day, with great plea- sure, the marriage of Toke H. Cairns and Miss Gertrude Mitchell. The ceremony was performed by Rev. John Read. Mr. G, E. Henderson was ‘** beat man,” and the bridesmaids were the Misses Josie Cairns and Janie Sterns. The bride was hard- somely attired in old gold satin and the bridesmaids in cream colored dresses. We unite with the many friends of the bride and groom in wishing the happy couple health, wealth and prosperity. They will reside at the thriving town of Kensington,

A correspondent informs Tae EXaMINerR that a very pleasant event took place at Georgetown recently, when Mr. Thomas Dunn, of Summerville, was united to one of Georgetown’s fair daughters. The bride looked charming, supported by Miss Mc- Donald, whilst the groom was ably sup- ported by Mr. John Lawlor, trader, of this province. The happy couple went on their wedding tour of the Lower Provinces, and will return to the residence of the groom's father.

_ +. —— -—- Personal.

The Boston Daily Globe of the 6th inst., contains a well-excuted cut of Mr. William T. Deugan, formerly of Charlottetown, which appears in connection with an account of the a of the fifth annual ball of the

Sam Smatyt.—We are able to announce that Rev. Samuel W. Small, D. D., will lecture in the Lyceum, m this city, on Thursday evening next (Christmas Day) at 8 o'clock. Wherever hia thrilling lecture ** From Bar-room to Pulpit” has been de- livered it has met with the unanimous ap- proval of the people. Crowded houses al- ways greet the lecturer. The price of ad- mission is fixed at 35 cents. Reserved seats 60 cents, Tickets will be at the usual places in a few days.

Tux Fancy Sate Yesterpay.—-The tea and fancy sale in St. Peter's Schoolroom yesterday afternoon and evening was well attended. The leading feature was the Gypsy’s camp with its paraphernalia of tins eutside and fortune telling apparatus in the interior. The role of Gipsy, taken by a popular young lady, was splendid. Her costume was extremely pretty and very typical of the Gipsy, with its beads, trinkets, ete- A goodly number of people, however, went away with better fortunes in their minds than they will ever hold in their hands. The candy, tea, and fancy-werk tables were attended and well patronized. The fish

eel

A large meeting was held opposite the Victoria. Hotel, Kilkenny, aud was ad- dressed by Parnell, Wiidiam Redmond, Fitzgerald, Harrison, O'Kelly, and Scully, the Parnellite candidate.

The great majority of the people werecutri- ous to see Parnell, but when they hau seen him they manifested no satisfaction—they kept silent, they neither cheered nor hissed, although there was plenty of cheer- ing from the rough element and from the boys.

Parnell’s voice was very husky, and he had tu stop in the middle of his speech to tuke a raw egg. He entirely devoted him- self to an attack on Sir John Pope Hen- nessey. This seems 4 mistake, considering that he was Parnell’s own candidate until the row took place. He denounced Hen- nessey as a tuft-hunting place-hunter, but he did not bring forward any facts showing how this reputation belonged to him now any more than it did two months ago. His speech fell flat, and was a distinct fau- ure.

Scully said it was poor business to swap a horse in the middle of a stream, especially when you hadn't another horse.

The meeting broke up very quietly, and without any enthusiasta,

Meanwhile Parneli’s opponents are not idle. A meeting of priests was held at Ballyragget, in North Kilkenny. Thirty- five were present. They declared their firm conviction that Parnell had rendered himself totally unfit on moral and_ political grounds to lead the Irish people. They con- demned the Freeman’s Journal aud the seizure by Parnell of United Ireland, and adopted the candidature of Sir John Pope Hennessey.

And then immediately followed the ad- dress of the Bishop of Ossery, who lives in

t uf

Kilkenny. It is addressed to the priests and the people. He casts his lot in with Dilion, O'Brien and the other seceders,

and asks the electors of North Kilkenny to do the same.

Davitt says that Parnell is undoing the work of years, by inciting a hatred of races, after years spent by the Irish leaders in up- rooting it, for all recognize that Home Rule cannot come except through the Eng- lish people, whom he is now trying to in- cite against the Irish.

Four well-known papers have declared for Parnell, the Leinster Leader, the Ballina Western People, the Westmeath Examiner and the Derry Journal.

Father Murphy, parish priest of Kil- managh, in a letter to the Freeman’s Jour- nal, protects against the clerical attacks which have been made on Parnell. He de- clares that the people have as good a right as the priests tu form a judgment on a_po- litical question while repudiating Me. Par- nell as a moral guide.

‘The Dublin Express commenting upon the Parliamentsy contest at Kilkenny and the activity in the canvess there by the Parnelites asks: ‘‘ Where is McCerthy.”

THE STAR'S POETIC COMPARISON.

The Star (Home Rol-) published an ar- ticle denying that Ireland has declared for Parnell. The Irish people, it says, may be for the moment in the grip of the fas- cination to which all yield in their edmin- istration of strength, whether bad or good. The feeling which even his opponents cherish for the rude masterfuliness of Parnell is akin to the admiration enter- tained for Milton’s ‘* Satan.” Ireland in time will exorcise Parnell and vindicate her right of self-government without con- fiding her destiny to one great personality.

The Efficiency Competiticn.

9°

_

A., WINS, WITH NO. 1 TWO POINTS BEHIND—

No. 2 BATTERY, G. BATTERY ONLY SPLENDID WORK. The Canadian Militia Gazette, at hand

this morning furnishes the following highly

interesting information in reference to the late efticiency competition :—

“Once again Prince Edward Island Brigade have won first place in the (feneral Efficiency Competition for Garrison Batteries, thus maiataining for the ninth year their unbroken record of victory. As in the previvus six years, No. 2 Battery are the Brigade and Do- minion champions. ‘heir score was 118 points (the same as last year) out of the 130 possible. No. 5 Battery of the Halifax Brigade were a very cluse second, with 117 points, and for third place No. 1 P. E. I, and No. 1 New Bruaswick, tie numerically with 116 points each. The contest thus proved uuusually close. There were not more than two points difference between the fi:st two batteries in any of the seven departments cf the contest, and in four they tied. ‘The first prize is the cup presented annually by the Governor General : and the second consists of. $25 cash and a year’s possession of the challenge cup, the parting gift of the Marquis of Lansdowne. We are happy to be able to :1cnew our annnal congratulations to No 2 Battery, P. IE. 1, and their commanding officer, Captain Longworth, and trust that they may long continue to set so hot a pace for this contest. The official returns, hitherto withheld by reason of the protest disposed of as reported in this issue, will be given in full in our next.”

At the meeting of the Dominion Artillery Association, held at Montreal a few weeks ago, to take action in reference to the pro- test made by Captain Oxley, of Halifax, we learn from the same paper that,—

‘Qn motion of Captain Finlayson, second- ed by Capt. Ogilvy, it was unanimously re- solved that the actien of the Inspector of Artillery be sustained and that it was only fair and just that, Captain Longworth being absent on duty, his Battery should not suffer by such absence.

** It was pointed out that as there is no 1u'e regarding the presence of an oflicer at inspec. tion, it would be well to have this point more clearly defined for future competitions.

“*The following members being unable to attend the meeting, seat their opinions in writing : Lt -Col. Montizambert, Lt, Col. Cot- ton, Lt.-Col Macdonald, Lt.-Col. Armstrong, Lt.-Col. Moore, Major Lindsay and Capt. Gregor. All of these were in favor of sus- taining the action of the Inspector of Ar- tillery.

The Examiner again heartily congratu-

Carruthers.

Sin,—I do net suppose that you desire wilfully to misrepresent what I say, although you have the habit of dropping into this mistake in almost every article; and yours yesterday is not an exception. You say, “In his first letter the Rev. Mr. Carruthers directed the attention of Tur Examiner to the blue books.” ‘‘You have at hand said he the blue books. But now he declares that the statistics found in the blue books and published in THE Examiner are not reliable. It must be admitted that Mr Carruthers is hard to please.” Now, sir, 1 stated in my first letter that half statements were not in order. I might have expected them from some anonymous correspondent, but not from yeu. WhatI said was ‘*You have

such strong language.

And now as to your remarks of yesterd:y, in Large Leather Wallets, which you eay ‘Mr, Carruthers in his anxiety Silver-Backed Brush and Mirror to include these years, seems to have over- Sets, Thermometers, looked the fact that the taree following years were also under license.” I did not overlook the fact. You will remegaber that I said in my first letter that ‘‘EXplanations may be required on your side ason mine.” I made that statement with the knowledge that no point that could be made against the act would be forgotten by you, and that my attention wouid be called to these figures. My answer is briefly this: In 1878, D. Banks MacKenzie visited the Province «nd started the movement known as the *‘Reform Club’ or blue ribbon movemen. He was welcomed by the churches. The revival found its way among all creeds and classes. In St. Dunstan’s was one of the ablest temperance men ever seen in Charlottetown,—I mean Father Mc- Gillveray. In St. Peter's was Rev. Mr. Hodgson, than whom uone labored 89 earnestly and successfully. Hundreds signed the pledge, and the result of that movement was felt as never before nor eince. That sir, not your license system, was the cause of the figures jumping down from 737 to 370. In saying this [am rot alone, and lest I should be accused ef quoting from, some fanaticel tem- perance man, I will again give you the Stipen- diary’s official report. He says concerning the decrease, ‘‘The increased power of punish- ment given me by the Dominion statutes, end the beneficial influeuce of the temperance movement mainly contribute to this.” That, sir, is my explanation, and comes from a source, which you, and every right thinking man, must admit is free from temperance fanaticism. I consider that my figures and the extracts from the reports proves conclusively my point. Later on I purpose dealing with another aspect of the question.
