—The London Free Press has gone into the matter of the Obstruction offered by the Opposition to the Franchise Bill very minutely, and has made some interesting calculations which reveal at the industry and patience of our contempor- ary and the expensiveness of an Opposi tion run on the g-as-you please system ia the matter of oratory. The Free Press finds that Mr. Mills spoke 1306 times, Mr. Casey 56 times, Mr. Cameron, of Huron, 47 times, Mr. Davies, 48 times, (!) Mr. Paterson, of Brant, 44 times, Mr. Mulock, 41 times, Mr. Blake 38 times, and so Mr. Mills, it seems, consumed 160 columns of Hansard, and the others in proportion. The writer estimates the extra cost of the session, because of this extraordinary flow of speech,at $550,000, which,he says, would

A Sr. Jonny Soctery Breeze.—Says the Globe: ‘The announcement in the morning papers of a marriage solemnized at Fred- ericton by a Methodist clergyman, some ten days ago, caused quite a flutter in society circles, in which the bride, the daughter of a County Court Judge, is a favorite. The event took place while the lady was on a visit to the capital, and the first intimation the family had of it was re- ceived several days afterwards. The groom, a son of the D. A. G. in Nova Scotia, recently graduated at the Military School, receiving a lieutenant’s certificate.

He dodges letters and telegram, and always manages to have just left the place where either has been directed. At last accounts he had gone far away into the wilds of Alaska, where mails and passengers never pene- trate.”

‘LETTERS TO THE EDITOR,

>

The “Patriot” and the Marshfield Meeting.

ae |

| |

Sirx,—The four long, coarse and flabby |

speech at the Marshtield meeting call for slight notice from me. He accuses me of |

}

bors invited me to attead a meeting in their | midst for the discussion of political sub- jects. The man is ignorant of the meaning of the word “‘ egotism.” If ever there was a case of rampant egotism it is to be found in the Patriot since it came under the charge of Mr. David Laird. The manner | in which the editor parades his own name | befere the public is amusing to Conserva- | tives,but disgusting to Grits. Men of both } parties |

are well aware that Mr. Laird is

desperately anxious to foist himself into 4

| public porition; henee his angling for invi-

| tations to attend public meetings, and the

|lusty blowing of his own trumpet in the olumns of the Patriot.

| Itisneteworthy that Mr. D. Laird has

not attempted to disprove one important | statement in the report of my speech. says tbat | | his report about reserving lands for the half-

breeds. It does not make any difference | whether this report was written in 1878 or | 1879, the fact remains that Mr. D. Laird was of opinion that land should not be re- served for the half-breeds for more than twoor three years. With characteristic politeness,he say that it is false to allege that his paper has been continually attacking his successor in the Governorship of the Northwest. He then admits that he has published many extracts reflecting on Mr. Dewdney, “but never stating anything from” his ‘‘own knowledge.” Because his attacks on Mr. Dewdney have been in the form of extracts, and ‘‘never stated from his own knowledge,” he feels warranted in pleading not guilty to the charge of attack- ing that gentleman. All backbiters who introduce their yarns with ‘‘they say” and end with protesting that “somebody told them so,” might be defended in the same manner.

The cow story is slurred over in a charac- teristic fashion After the cows were brought to Carleton the Indians agreed to take some of them. There was no compu!- sion, says Mr. Laird. It was natural that the cows should be wild when approached by a North West Indian. Well, well! how nicely got over. The Blue Book says that eattle were given which were “‘ foot- sore, poor and wild,’’ and that most of them died during the winter, although every possible care had been taken of them. The ex-Governor says nothing about all this. And not a word about David Laird’s arrang- ing with a man vamed Oliver, who had no farm or feed, to winter the balance of the

‘

herd. Nota word about Oliver’s dragging the ‘‘ poor footsore” cows “to Prince Albert on sleighs. Not a word abcut

Oliver’s subletting the keeping of these cows at reduced figures, and the natural conse- quence of their being all dead in the spring ! !

It is quite evident that Mr. Laird is not very enthusiastic in defending Mr. Davies. Of course, he says, Sir John was right in making the Poll Bocks at the last election the basis of the voters list as he intended to retain the votes to the present electors of the Island,but he pleads “Show was Mr. Davies to know what Sir Jobn intended to do.” Theold adage, ‘‘Fools and biirus should never see half finished work,” is suggested by this defence. But Mr. Davies’ motivn was in sny case an intensely stupid one,and if it had carried, would have pri ved a most mischievous provision The assessment roll for schoo] purp: ses would nct have con- tained more than one-half the electors of the Province. As property holder’s names appear on the school lists, wherever their property is situated, some of these would appear perhaps a score of times in the same

county. But the giant outrage would have been in the number who would be com-

pelled to have their votes put on by the re- vising barrister. 1 am ccnvinced that 4,000 ef the electors of Queen’s County would be in that position under our own qualification, and not many less even if the general quali- fication clauses of the Bill were applied to us. If Mr. Davies's amendment had carried, from 3,500 to 4,000 of the electors of Queen’s would have b2en obliged to attend for days at the Court of Revision and incur expense, or otherwise submit to disfran- chisement, just as many of our best men were disfranchised by the Davies’ Local Registraiion Act of 1877. Mr. Davies declared in Parliament that he was ready to spend “a thousand or two thou- sand dollars’’ in striking off the names of those who voted at the last election but who would not retain the lega) qualification ander the Deminion Act. This would be terrible injustice to Mr. Davies, end, to prevent it,he tried to disfranchise theusands of our best men unlers they could get their names put on the list at the Court of Revision, avd which would cost them, including loss of time, not less probably than $30,000 or $40,000.

Me. David Laird and Louis H. Davies are a good team in Franchise matters. Mr. Laird tried his little game in 1874. Mr. Davies tried his in 1885. The people settled accounts with Mr. Laird in 1882 ; they will settle accounts with Mr. Davies in 1887.

Mr. Laird has not even an apology to offer for Mr. Davies in violating his pre- election pledges in regard to the Fishery Award. Why does he say nothing about Blake and Mackenzie viting £600 stg., which was paid by Donald A. Smith, to induce Riel and L-pine to leave the coun try! Why does he pa‘s in silence my charge against the Mackenzie party for amnesitying Riel and Lepine? He has not forgotten it, for he voted in favor of it, Whydoes he not explain how it occurred that the halfbreeds of Manitoba did not receive the land guaran- teed to them by the Manitoba Act of 1870, during the three years he wes in the Department of the Interior? Why does he pass Over in silence the deficits which were | rolled up at Ottawa as regularly during the | McKenzie regime, as surf ona sea beaten shore ? It ia much easier and more congenial for Mr. Laird to be insolent and abusive, | than to discuss questions,the bare menticn of | which, is the confusion of his party,

Obituary.

A lingering illness terminated on the 16th inst., in the peaceful repose of Donald McCormack, Esq , one of the pioneers of Black Bush,in the 76th year of his age.

His early days were days of toil; and with that persevering industry, characteristic of

woods a homestead of ease and of comfort. To-day the well-tilled farm, substantial

“egotism,” because my friends end neigh-| buildings and tasteful surroundings, ‘ell us | g-

what kind of a man this is who left vs.

But we have another and more reliable criterion of his real worth. He reared a large family, and reared them well. Early instructions and good example produced their fruit. His children grew up a joy to him in his younger years, in his declining years a comfort and support. Inheritors of their father’s virtues none are to-day more respected in our community than they.

His good and useful life met with a fit- ting close. Finding the hand of death resting on him, he quietly arranged his temporal affairs, and thereafter unreservedly abandoned himself into the arms of his Creator, calmly awaiting the end. Fortified by the rites of Holy Mother Church, sur- rounded by the chosen companion of his life,

He |and the surviving members of his family,

he breathed his last. The large funeral cortege that accompanied his remains to St. Margaret’s Cemetery, testified to the high esteem in which he was held.

The Requiem Masses, celebrated by the Pastor, Rev. Gregory McDonald, and the Last Absolution was given by Rev. D. J. Gillis, of St. Columba,—Com.,

Fisu.—There continues to be a depress- ed market for Mackerel and prices are the lowest ever known, on the same quantity, Fare lots were sold on Monday at $2 50 to $2.75 per bbl, and $3 is now considered an extreme price, These cargoes run about half large and of fine quality. Sales «f in- spected lots have been made at $2 75 for plain No. 2; $3 to 3.25 for rimmed; and $5 to $5.25 per bbl for No. 2. In Portland on Monday, 1,000 bbls sold at $275 and $525 per bbl, For the Nova Scotia Mackerel here there is no sale and it is use- less to name a price. A cargo of P. E Island has been sent back, current prices not being enough to cover duty and freight. Codfish are quiet and steady. Salea of large dry Bank at $3.50 to $3.75; and pickle cured shore at $3.12} per q!). Pickle cured Bank are nominally at $3 per qtl., but no sales of consequence. Hake, Haddock and Pullock are unchanged, with sales in small lots. Nothing doing in pickled Herring and prices are nominal. Canned Lobsters are selling at $1.55 to $1.65 per dozen, duty paid.

Eoos.—There is not much change in the market for Eggs. The hot weather makes buyers cautious, and only well-known marks command fuil prices. Sales of Eastern extra at 152., and Northern and Provincial at 13} to l4c. We quote P. E. Islahd at l4e.

The Red Prince of Prussia Killed by his Wife.

(London Truth.)

A profound sensation has been excited in Berlin and Vienna by the appearance in a well known German newspaper of what purports to be a true account of the death of Prince Frederick Charles. This journal acserts in plain terms that the Red Prince did not die of appoplexy, but that he was shot dead by his wife. A Belgian journal makes the following comments on the nar- rative: ‘‘ The Red Prince did not live on good terms with his wife. Some grave ecenes had taken place—scenes .so serious, in fact, that the old Emperor had to assign to Prince Froderick Charles an isolated castle for his residence. It was a digrace to be thus almost excluded from the court, where his presence had caused scandals incompatible with the severity of morals there observed. Two years ago the Princess wanted an absolute divorce, and wished then to retire to her brother's home. The Emperor was again obliged to inter- fere, and a semblance of a reconciliation again took place. But their troubled mode of life still continued, and only ended the other day, when, after a scene more violent even than usual, the Prince, whose harsh- ness was proverbial, struck the Princess, who ina moment of rage, seized a pistol and

fired. Prince Frederick OQharles fell mortally wounded.’ ~~ £o-—_—

Polite by Instinct.

A recent traveller says the Swedes are a taciturn and noiseless people, They do much by signs and never shout. These of the lowest class, even, never push or jostle. When a train leaves a platform or a steam- boat pier, all the lookers-on lift their hats to the departing passengers and bow to them, a compliment returned by the travellers. fl you address the poorest per- son in the streets yon must lift your hat. A gentleman passing 2 lady on the stairs of a hotel must do the same. To entera shop ora bank with one’s hat on is a terrible breach of gcod manners. If you enter or leave.a coffee room you must bow to all the occupants, This ceremonious behaviour characterizes all classes and occasions. Bowing is incessant.
