DAILY EXAMINER.

THE ~~~" SEPTEMBER 26, 1879.

Tus interest which is manifested in agri- cultural and industrial exhibitions in this Province is thrown altogether in the shade by the larger Provinces of our new nation. The grand Dominien Exhibition now being held at Ottawa eclipses any gathering of the kind that ever before took place in Canada. The Toronto Exhibition, which closed four days ago, was a grand success; and the extensive preparations that are being made for the Provincial Exhibition of Nova Scotia, to take place at Halifax naxt week, show very clearly that the peo- ple of that Province are resolved not to lag behind in the march of improvement which they see s» unmistakably presented to them by the agriculturists of Ontario. The sum of $10,272 is placed at the disposal of the Halifax Commissioners to be awarded for prizes in the various departments named on their prize list.

When will our Provincial Legislature imi- tate the noble example placed before them by a Province not by any means depend- ng almost exclusively on her agricultural resources as is the Province of P. E. Island. The largest sum ever yet voted for a Provincial Exhibition here has been $1,650.00. What a contrast !

It is hoped, however, that our leading farmers and mechanics of each county will take this very important and, to them, vital question in hand. With the view of or- ganizing an ‘‘Agricultural Industrial Asso- ciation,” and concentrating their influence upon the Legislature in order to secure for the Annual Exhibitions an appropriation commensurate with their interests involved, a meeting of farmers might be held at one of the iorthcoming Exhibitions. Suppose they meet at Charlottetown on the 7th or 8th October ?

We observe that the Governor General, in reply te an address of the ‘‘members of Council of the Board of Agriculture and Art of Ontario,” at the opening of the Dominion Exhibition, says in reference to local and general exhibitions :—

Ihave gladly attended several of these shows, and it is afeature peculiar to this coun- try that the industrial exhibition so generally accompanies the agricultural show. Whether this shall always be the case in the gathering inaugureved to-day, it will be of course for you to determine by experience of the succoss in yeur venture in thus combining them. This is perhaps the first meeting to which more than a loca! character has been given. It will be a matter for your consideration and for all in Canada int» all your endeavors whether a novel practice be established here in moving to each Province in succession the Central Exhibition without injury to the local fairs which will in any case be held. If you decided to move the agricultural show from province to province in successive years no new practice would thereby be espoused, for such has been the custom 01 national societies in England, Scot- land and Ireland. In the old countries the spaces to be traversed are made smaller, but the need of comparison between the various exhibits is also much less. The local shows are held there in almost every county, but the advantage cierived from the annual meeting of the national societies has been well expressed in the words of a former and justly, I be- lieve, Viceroy of Ireland, who said that the experience the national society had earned for [itself by jts annual movement through every part of the land—through each Province in turn—has tended to fuse to- gether the knowledge of the best specialities of each, whether in tillage or in pasture, in cereal or green crops; or in the breeding and fattening of cattle. With us in Canada, if a similar practice were followed, we might, per- haps, add that the comparison would benefit the proper employment of the best agricultur- al machinery, for the manufacture of which eur Canadien artizans have won high com- mendation at the greatest international con- tests. If you discuss this question I am sure you will do se not with a view of benefitting} one city or province, but iu that spirit which sees in all common efforts a means of uniting our Canadian people and an instrument to make a national feeling and create a national prosperity.

The Governor General, in the abovc, gives utterance to a good idea in the proper spirit. He also commends the Ontario Association and expresses the hope that its endeavor will be “‘to extend for the general good of our country the experience it earns and whatever success is secured by the co-operation of the citizens.”

Why cannot we have a “a Prince Edward

Island Association?” with the same bene-

§cial and patriotic object in view ?

Reception of the Riflemen.

Ow the return of the Island Team from Ottawa last evening they were met at the railway station by a detachment of volun- teers under command of Major Dogherty, andgieaded by the band of the82d Battalion. They were heartily welcomed, repeatedly cheered, escorted to carriages and conveyed in procession through the principal streets of the city. The display was in every re- spect a creditable one. It was seen and ad- mired by large numbers of citizens; and all seemed to join heartily in the enthus- iasm of the ‘‘welcome home” to those who, in competition with the best shots of all Canada, so well maintained the credit and honor of the Island. Capt. Irving, of the team, did not return last evening. The team were, we learn, highly pleased with Ottawa and with the cordial treatment they received there.

Improvements.

4 New Brunswicker who has been ‘doing’ the Toronto Exhibition, was in- terviewed by a reporter of the Sun, to whom he said that the most remarkable features

of the Exhibition were »—

“The great improvement in tweeds, woollens, and in other cloths and yarns. Immense strides have been made in this di- rection of late years, sufficient to astonish these who have not kept the run of these woods. ‘Their iron castings were also superior. Taere has been great improvement in stoves, especially self-feeders for halls and cook- stoves. The castings are very smooth ; for- merly they were not ; and the styles are now elegant. There was also a fine display of the better kinds of crockeryware—from Quebec Province, I think. There was a fine display of wood-working machinery and mill machine- ry, especially for flour mills. The exhibit of mill saws was the finest ever made in Canada.

The most noticeable feature wastheir wheat of which their was a splended display. The exhibit of bread in loaves showed what their wheat was capable of producing—the whitest, best bread imaginable. The oats were poor— black oats not equal to ourown. I saw no buckwheat or buckwheat meal—I did not ex pect to find any. There was nota hay press on the grounds, as far as I could discover. The show of potatoes, turnips etc., was not as good as could be shown at a New Brunswick County Fair, and their garden stuff was not

sgoodas either Clarke of Fredericton or Robertson of Grand Lake or the market gard- eners about St. John can produce.

Revorter : Did it strike you that we could hold our own with them in cattle raising.

Mr. A.: I am confident that we have a superior cattle grazing country, and that we have nothing to fear in this direction. By the way, they made a good display of pres- erved meats, such as spiced tongue,"picnic meats, etc. They had a combination of ham, tongue and chicken in the form of a bologna, which is a favorite relish.

Reporter: Were you satisfied with your visit to the Exhibition? —

Mr. A.: Greatly so; it far exceeded my expectations, and [ understand surprised even many intelligent visitors from the United States. As many as 30,000 a day passed in.

Reporter: What about the patent chicken hatcher ? aid

Mr. A.: Well, that wasa great curiosity. The chickens were hatched by hot air and electricity. They were coming forth in all stages. The arrangement beats the ‘old hen” by two dagen, the chicken in 19 days as against 21 days by the natural process. It excited a great deal of curiosity. Chickens were hatched every moment in every hour of every day as long asthe Exhibition lasted. Many thousands of young poultry stepped out of the shell, and were marched off toa trough to be fed. The party in charge of the ar- rangement was pleasant and humorous. He said that a New Yorker had been tryiag for years to hatch chickens by steam, and had spent sixty thousand dollars, and had not hatched a single chicken yet! It may bea fact.

Reporter: One more question: Tid you see the Cave?

Mr. A.: No; but I saw George Brown and Jaffray. They seemed to have got ‘over their scare.

Abolition of Slavery in Cuba.

Ir is reported that three of the principal slaveholders of Cuba have emancipated their slaves, and that there is a disposition on the part of some members of the Spanish Cortes to emancipate Cuban slaves without giving compensation to their owners. If this be true the British West Indian Islands will be specially benefited ; for while slavery exists in Cuba they, with free labor, are placed at a disadvantage. Independently of this, it is pleasing to note, in the inter ests of humanity, that the yoke of slavery is likely to be removed from the colonies of Spain.

Famine Anticipated. The American Consul at Belfast, [reland, contirms the reports of the other consuls as to the alarming deficiency of the crops in the United Kingdom. When. the great famine occurred in Ireiand in 1845, the crops of England and Scotland were fair. Very different is the case now, and dis- astrous reports come from even tho most celebrated of England’sagricultural counties. In the firat week of September, when reap- ers are usually busy, the grain is hardly

ficient, but almost all the equally important roots, turnips and mangolds, are a failure.

Sporting News.

Ir is now rumored that Hanlan will not row Courtney on Chautauqua Lake, owing to the condition of his health, which has been such as to prevent him from spining. It is thought that the physical cost of the English trip and the race for the Cup has not yet been fully met.

False Neutrality.

To the Editor of the Hxaminer.

Dear Str,—The second No. of the Pioneer has made its appearance; and as far as the printing and general get-up of the paper goes, | am free to confess the sheet looks creditable—especially when it is borne in mind that only a few short months ago this same Pioneer suffered so dreadfully from an attack of small-pox which resulted in death —or ‘‘suspended animation,” to use a more western term. In the ‘‘Introductory” the publisher states: ‘‘With respect to public questions affecting the interests of the coun- try, the Pioneer will pursue as nearly as possible, an independent course—without attaching itself to either party in Dominion or Local politics.” Immediately following the Introductory, is a unique article on ‘‘Seine Fishing,” which, to say the least of it, looks deeidedly fishy for the colamns of an *‘independent in politics” journal. The Pioneer says: ‘‘It is indeed true that the subject was brought before the Dominion Assembly in the early part of May last.” Now, 1 submit that this statement is not true, for the subject was brought forward on motion of Mr. McDonald (King’s) on the 10th day of March. Why not give Mr. McDonald the credit of bringing the subject before the House? Then again we read : ‘*Those of our Island members who spoke on the subject,” ete. Why not say all the members from the Island who are support- ers of tlte present Government spoke—urg- iug the matteron the attention of tlie House. Then follows a very choice piece of anti-confederate buncome, of which the following is the conclusion :—

** From the fact that P. EH. Island and Nova Scotia (the two provinces most interested in lishery protection) had a year ago gone almost completely Conservative, one would suppose the present Government would doall in its ower to favor the Provinces in qtestion. Lnese Canadian grabbers have not only robbed us of at least one million dollars of money, but under the guise of protecting our manufactor- ies are taking many thousand dollars a year from the finances of the country. Protecting industries, indeed, when the yearly exported manufactories of the Island is probably not equal to a bunch of tooth picks! Surely the people of this Province have not much canse to celebrate the day we joined confederation, and no wonder that it is acommon occurrence on that day to see flags occupying the same position as when the death of some distiguish- ed person has taken place. We have been entrapped into the hated connection by wily and unscrupulous politicians, and it is scarcely consistent with the character of the Imperial Government to deny us redress if we bestir ourselves in the matter.”

I would merely add that if. the foregoing is to be taken as a specimen of the Pioneer's neutrality in politics, the publisher may safely count upon his professed neutrality being taken at its true value throughout the country.

To the Editor of the Examiner.

Str—I notice in your issue of the 20th inst. a communication in reference to the Souris Breakwater. ‘‘Justice’’ states that the work is progressing rapidly under the superintend- ence of a Mr. Coffin, of St. Peter’s. This is incerrect, as the work is now and has been for the last nine weeks under the sole man- agement of the contractor, so that the progress so apparent is solely due to the energy and perseverence of James I’. Poole, Esq., head contractor of the work. The statement made in regard to Mr. Ramsay being discharged is not correct. He left of his own accord when Mr. Poole took charge of the work. I am,etc.,

Tue King’s County Advertiser reports that ‘*Previous to the departure of Dr. Wright, to resume his duties in McGill College, Montreal, the ladies of Trinity Church congregation honored him and his family with a surprise party on Thursday night last, in the Grand Division Room. After disposingof a sumptuous luncheon, the chair was taken by William Sanderson, Esq., and the remainder of the evening devoted to short addresses, music, an social converse, The address of Dr. Wright was an eulogy upon the beauty and attractive- ness of Georgetown and its surrouudings as a summer resort for pleasure-seekers and tour- ists. He paid a warm tribute to the cord al hospitality he had always received at the hauds of the ivhabitants while sojournin here, and assured those present that it an be ever held in grateful remembrance by him3, self and his family. At the religious services at Trinity Church, on Sunday morning, several attended the communion table, and the Dr's. sermons at the evening and morning services were both eloquent and impressive. He returns to Montreal to morrow.”
