DEATH OF MRS. FRAME.

Tae many friends of Mrs. Frame in this City and Province will regret to learn that the severe illness which began at the residence of her nephew, Mr.H.J. Cundall, several weeks ago, culminated in her death this afterncon. Mrs. Frame was, (if we mistake not) the youngest daughter of the late William Haszard, Erquire, of Belle Vue. She was the last of a large and prominent family al] of whom have pasewl beyond the vail. Until recently sahe was not-known as an aged woman, so‘fall was she of health and spirit. But the death of her son—a heavy blow— was followed by au attack of influenza

hoped she would finally recover, notwith- standing her advanced years. But the hope proved vain. Her friewls will Jong cherish the memory of a large-hearted and good Christian woman.

RAILWAY CHANGES.

‘Tue outcome of various representations and negotiations, extending over a some- what lengthened period, was reported this forenoon. Mr. Sharpe has been appointed Superintendent of the P. E. Island Rail- way ; Mr. McDonald has been relegated to ‘the position of Chief Clerk of the railway; ‘Conductor Thompson has been promoted to the office of Station Master at Charlotte- town; and Mr. Hodgson 4as been appoint ed Storekeeper. We have been unable to verify the report that Mr. J. J. Chappell is to be removed to a position under Mr. Hodgson, room being made for him by giving Irish promotion to another official.

The changes reported resalt from the event of the election in June last. No complaint was made by the public touch- ing the management of Mr. McDonald. On the contrary, merchants and others who had freight to move or other business in connection with the railway to transact, speak in the highest terms concerning Mr. McDonald’s conduct of the office. Under Mr. McDonald every department of the railway was, so far as we can learn, well maintained, and everything has been running smoothly. Mr. McDonald gave to the office his close personal attention.

But the Liberals won a victory at the ‘polls ; the victors here demanded spoils ; aud the Libera! authorities at Ottawa vielded to their clamor. Mr. Sharpe and Condacter Thompson had been faithful to (heir party in this Province, and the party desired their promotion. Consequently they have been promoted.

We have not one word to say against ihese gentiemen. Personally, we congra- tulate them upon their success, They, too, have served the railway long and ‘aithfully,—though if we mistake not Conductor Kelly bas been longer in the service than Mr. Thompson, and ought upon that ground to have been given pre-

edence in the order of promotion. We have no doubt that they will, in their new and higher positions, continue to render ihe public good service. Both are capable men, At any rate the public, and Tue Examiner as the exponent of public opivion, will judge them impartially in 80 far as the performance of their duties to the public ‘is concerned. What we do protest against is the putting of one official back and anether official forward, merely because there has been am election. We ubject to the spoils system as being, upon the whole, detrimental to the public interests; and apart from the spoils sys- tem, there was no_ necessity or excuse vehatever for the changes that are an- nounced today.

~ Reading between the lines of recent Ministerial utterances, and judging by the fact that another week of the precious time of Parliament has been frittered away, it may be concluded that the Gov- ernment have discovered a few clerical errors in their tariff bill.

An Irish contemporary: says: Mr. Blake would doiwell to condense his orations. His over elaboration is tedious and weari- seme, and as he had an ocular proof thai few members of Parliament listened to his speech, he might’ in future keep within bounds, and induce a few to read his dis- courses ° : . . . . Mr. Blake is too réapectable to be useful, a ponderous, booky man, a statesman in thirteen volumes, who values s;eeche= as he would tape, or Blarney tweed, or calico by the yard.)

—The Moncton Times remarks: “When the conservative were in power the liberals proclaimed that the west was get- ting more than its share of attention and that the east was being neglected. Now that the Liberals are ia we hear of many new schemes for the development of the west but will somebody point to anything that it is proposed to do in the east.” Our contemporary onght to remember that Hon. Mr. Davies promised railway exten- sion t. Murray Harbor and New London in this Prov nce. The people have been led to expect that the work will be begun at an early day. Ministers had their attention ealled to the matter a few days ago by Mr. Martin. We atill hope to see in the sup- plemeotary estimates an item to pay fer preliminary surveys.

—The Toronto Telegram refers to the report that Sir Oliver Mowat wil! accept the office of Lieutenant-Governor of On- tario, and states that Mr. Dalton McCarthy is likely to receive an offer of the port- folio of Justice. If we mistake not, the

rtfolio of Justice is to go to the Hon.

. H. Davies. No doubt Da'tton McCarthy has strong claims upon the Liberal party,

| who won the election as a result of hie Finesse; but Mr. Davies has stood by the

Premier and bis party through thiek and thin over a period of many years. The Liberal—Conservatives, as well as the Liberals of this Province will be greatly disappointed if Mr. Davies. should not be

| preferred to Mr. McCarthy in the event of

Sir Oliver’s retirement to the quiet of a Government House.

—The New York Times’ London co:- respondent says: One hears new stories every week of the Kaiser’s mad sayings and doings, and Berlin grows as accastum- ed to them as Munich was fifieen years ago to the tales ofthe crazy Ludwig. [a the debate in the Reichstag this week on the “Lese-Majeste” clause of the Penal Code many veiled allusions were made to the subject, although the President vigil- antly surpreseed anything like an open reference to the Emperor. Muliiplying evidences ‘there ‘are showing. that the Empire may “ny day find itself confronted by a vacantthrone. This has a sobering effect on the politicians. “They say almost nothing publicly of what might be said, and they agree-in- private with his Minis- ters on matters of State policy, which woula otherwise be fiercely ccntested.

—In the Senate a few days ago, Senator Prowse called attention to a paragraph in the Ottawa Citizen in which it was sta‘ed that Sir Oliver Mowatt had been induced to introduce a bill preventing the collection of extortionate interesta by the judgment of one of the Quebec courts allowing a man named Lafortune to collect interest at the rate of five per cent per day, and that this same Lafortune was the man appoint- ed by Sir Oliver to a position ou the priscn commission. He brought the matter up in.order to give the Minister ef Justice an early opportunity of denying that such an inhuman monster as this had been ap- pointed to a position in the public service. Sir Oliver said in reply that he had not read the paragraph in the Citizen and was not aware whether the statement therein contained was accurate or not. He would enquire, however, and inform the house Jater.
