Death of Hon. Francis Kelly.

THE

We hare to announce to-day the death of the Hon. Francis Kelly. Mr. Kelly was too unwell to take an active part in the late election contest. It was, however, sup- posed that his illness would not prove fatal ; and on the 9th inst., an overwhelming ma- jority of his constituents gave him a prac- tical evidence of their esteem and confi- dence by re-electing him as their represent- Iu like manner. he had often before

een victorious. But this proved his last earthly triumph. At an early hour this morning, full of years and honors, he ** won the victory o’er the grave”; and passed from this scene of trials and struggles to the rest and fruition of a better world. Mr. Kelly was descended from Donagh O'Kelly, of Mount Talbot, County Ros- commun, Ireland. He was born in May, 1806, at Mullolonghan, County Monaghan. He finished his education at Dublin, and emigrated to this Island at an early age. His life was, in great part, spent in the service of the public. He was successively the people’s representative, a member of the Executive Council, Surveyor General, a member of the Boards of Works and Ed-

ative.

ucation, Commissioner of Crown Lands, Governor of Prince of Wales College, etc., etc. By his pradence and ability he ob- tained a firm hold upon the ininds and af- fections of his constituents; and, as we have seen, he retained their confidence to the last. His death will be mourned by many.

CaS St St ea Sa

Tho Temperance Election.

eee

SOME OBJECTIONS MET.

Ar the great temperance meeting, on Wednesday night, one of the speakers replied to a few of the common objections to the Canada Temperance Act. There are one or two others which were not then noticed, and to which we will now refer. They certainly are not of much weight ; but it may be as well to answer them.

It is objected that when licences shall have been refused, all the public houses will be closed, and there will be no ac- commodation for country people coming to town. The providing of houses of accomo- dation is a purely business matter of supply and demand ; and, as such, will settle itself speedily and effectually. When there isa large number of persons wanting accommo- dation, and able and willing to pay for it, they will not be long withoutit. If many of those who at present entertain the public, close their houses, there will soon be found others to take their places. In these hard times occupations are not so plenty that any paying business can be left for any time neglected.

But it is said ‘‘ temperance houses never pay.” Hitherto they have been exposed to a most unfair competitien, from which the new law will relieve them. Liquor sellers could afford to provide a certain amount of accommodation at an almost nominal price, trusting to the enormous profits on their sales of liquor to make the aggregate gains very great. With such a state of affairs a temperance house was heavily handicapped. At the same time our country people have had very much more money taken froni them than was at all necessary for them to ex- pend ; and they wero often forced to take their wives and daughters to taverns, and to bring them into contact with the ,re- pulsive surroundings of such places. Bat this will all be changed. Temperance houses will pay when the proprietors can ask a fair living price for the accommoda- tion they furnish. Country people will find in town a class of houses to which they can take their wives and children with safoty and real comfort ; and they will be freed from the necessity of exposing them to the debasing and disgusting influences of a liquor shop. And they will find in very many cases that their visit to town will cost them, upon the whole, much less than it does at present.

Another objection springs from that keen

We hear also that, by some of those who imagine themselves to be among the more astute, grave legal difficulties have been which is to be

discovered—the result of that, though the election may be carried by us, it will afterwards be upset. If this statement has the effect of making the op- ponents of the law indifferent to the elec- tion, it is not for us to complain of that. Butwe urgeour friends nottoletthis consid- eration induce them to relax their exer tion; and, when the election has been triumphantly carried, we shall see the weakness of this objection.

public opinion which exceeds the expecta- tions of even the most sanguine. There can be no doubt about the Act being car- ried. Lut our friends must still work hard. We want todo more than carry the law— we must carry it by an OVERWHELMING Ma- JORITY.

The Civil Servicoa.

Regen? y in the House of Commons Mr. Tilley said tho worst feature in the present Civil Service system is the habit all Gov- ernments have of placing new men in high positions instead of filling them by promo- tion. The subject, he said, has been un- der the consideration of the Government, and they propose bringing down a bill next session that will deal with the matter and remedy what appear to be the defects of the system.

To add to the inearcerated’s misfortunes, there is in Charlottetown a batch of petifogging, would-be Solons and Sycurguses, mis-named, perhaps, lawyers, who suck the lifeblood of the unfortunate debtors by charging them at least seventy-five cents to the dollar to be added to the principal.

One word more, Mr. Editor, and I am done: you know that our Saviour, over eighteen hun- dred years ago—not out of date yet—pro- nounced woe against them for taking away the Key of Knowledze; and Iam decidedly of opinion that His Disciples now oa earth ought to file another woe against them for taking away the key of nonesty and humanity, making ‘‘countless thousands to mourn,” Bat, Mr. Editor, a3 there is no rule without) — an exception, 1 should, perhaps, make hon-| rep orable distinction.

A Cycione in Missouri. HOUSES CRUSHED LIKE PAPER— A FUNERAL SERVICE INTERRUPTED. (Special to the Moncton Times. )

New Onugans, April 16. Apply te

At Collingsville, Mo., yesterday, a cy- clone destroyed a large number of honses, crushing the walls like paper. The Hpis- copal Church was badly shaken up. Fun- eral services were being held and the falling plaster and flying glass bruised and cut nearly all present, but none seriously. Fences, plants, sidewalks, trees, outhouses, and stables were blown to pieces or carried away, and gardens destroyed. The cyclone as usual was rotary and struck and bounded from the earth three times. Its width was only from 60 to 80 feet. One of the evi- dences of its force was the picking up of a horse and buggy, carrying it at a height of 20 to 30 feet a distance of about 15 rods, dashing it to the earth, crushing the horse to jelly and the buggy to splinters. The cemetery just outside the town was laid waste and nearly every tombstone levelled. The storm disappeared in the east, and there are reports that it did damage else- where. The total damage at Collinsville is

Queen Victoria's Tour.

Rome, April 16.—Queen Victoria and the Kiug and Queen of Italy meet on Fri- day atthe castle of Monza, near Milan. After a walk in the Park and lunch the Royal party separating, will return in the afternoon to Raveno and Rome respective- ly. Their Italian Majesties intended to

villa there capable of accommodating the united parties and their attendants. Queen Victoria, while expressing the pleasure she would derive from the visit of King Hum- bert and Queen Marguerita, intimated her desire to save them from inconvenience by going to meet them at Monza. Queen Vic- toria’s visit to Italy will terminate on the 23rd inst. She will arrive at Paris on the 24th, at Cherbourg, 25th, and England, 26th. The statement that the Pope wrote to Queen Victoria, welcoming her to Italy, is unfounded. :
