LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

----~.>-- —

Senator Haythorne’s Remarks.

—_— -—

Sir,—l have read the report of the great speeches in the Market Hall by the Grit orators; and truly when electors appear satisfied with such balderdash, it is evident they do not study the questions of the day for themselves. I shall pass Mr. Davies for the present time, and look at the re- marks of Senator Haythorne, as published in the Patriot over the signature of A. B Warburton. He starts by asking the ques- tion: ‘* Are we as free to-day as we were before Confederation ?’’ and then answers, ‘*We are not” This is very cool on the pert of the Senator. If we are not, what's the reason, and by what means does he arrive at the conclusion that our personal liberties are less now than they were fifteen years ago? Was it not David Laird and Senator Haythorne who travelled to Ottawa and negotiated the terms with which they were willing to place us in Confederation, and did not Mr. Haythorne do his little best to fasten these terms upon us! Did he not also do his best to defeat Mr. Pope and Senator Howlan in securing better terms! Here is a Senator of the Dominion of Canada, pledged to loyalty to the Confederation, talking to an audience inthe Market Hall sentiments which would lead that audience to believe they were now serfs and slaves in bondage to the present Government; and, if I mistake not, the point he wished to make was that the pres- ent Government was to blame for the whole thing. We are not free to-day, says the Senator, and our freedom and liberties are curtailed. [ join issue with the Senator, and tell him he is a political poltroon when he talks such nonsense. Are we not British subjects forming a part of a great Confederation, and have we not the right of appeal to the Crown if our liberties are not as secure as they were when our laws had to go to Downing Street? Does not the British North American Act, by which these colonies were confederated, stipulate for our freedom, and have we not local self-government as of yore! And yet the Senator talks of our ‘‘ personal and politi- cal liberties’ being less! He talks sheer nonsense, aud | am surprised to read that Senator Haythorne ssid so ; and further, he cannot defend and maintain his state- ments before an intelligent audience.

The franchise is not in accordance with the Senator's views. In this respect he makes the same mistake which the rest of the Grit orators make. They assume and take for granted that our young men are disfranchised. {n this way they endeavor to create a false impression. They say, and Mr. Haythorne repeats it, ‘once a fresholder aiways a freeholder, was the sound and right prin- fe ple, and it was tyranny in a Government to deprive any man of his rights.’ Here the Senator is astray again, and at variance with the facts. A man may be a freeholder to-day, and, without any tyranny on the pert of the Government, but his own in- dividual act, be a pauper to-morrow. The Government did better than that, they acknowledged the principle ‘‘once a voter always a voter,” and gave the franchise to every mad who ever had, or is now entitled to it, under our local franchise, and did this in addition to the qualifications already laid down, which will give the franchise to every farmer and his sons in this Island.

Who is disfranchised! None! What man will be deprived of registration under this Bill? None who are now

entitled to vote unless Senator Haythorne will import a servant man who’ cannot qualify under our lawe; and Mr. Haythorne will not presume to argue that his said ser- vant man would be disfianchised because he must know that he was never a voter. There is a way to remedy that; the Senator can give him an interest in his estate or pay the poor man asalary gsuflicient to enable him to vote. Mr. Haythorne, we are told, ‘chad made a careful study of political affairs in the Dominion and he had listened carefully to Mr. Davies’ spsech, and the statements meade by Mr. Davies were stric'ly and accurately trae.” iam amazed at this statement, and looking charitably at it conclude that Mr. Haythorne was either dreaming or he is now in his dotage,else he would never give such testimony as that. Writers on jurisprudence tell us that the credibility of a witness is doubted, and his evidence greatly weakened when he at- tempts to prove teo much. I fancy the Senator assumed too much when he undertook to say that the statements of Mr. Davies were “strictly and accu- rately true.” Mr. Davies can, under the circumstances, hardly claim that much himself. It is notorious that few men will give impartial testimony in cases wherein they are interested. It is perhaps very seldom that a witness is guilty of outright mendacity. The majority may be honest men and intend to speak the truth ; but their minds are so bisesed by self-interest that they often swerve from thetruth. It is also true that there are some who have minds so well-balanced and who cherish so conscientious a regard for truth that no amount of interest will induce them to swerve from the truth. The poet says :—-

‘‘A king can make a belted knight, A marquis, duke and a that ; But an honest man’s aboon hig might.”

It is related of the Emperor Julian that on one occasian while he was sitting to ad- minister justice a prosecutor seeing his case about to fail for want of proof, angrily ex- claimed: ‘‘Most Llustrious Cesar, if de- nial of guilt be sufficient defence, who would ever be convicted?” To which the Emperor replied: ‘‘And if accusation were sufficient , proof, who would be safe!”

In discussing questions affecting Govern- ments, and priuciples affecting the same, writers and speakers should see that they speak the truth, and so far as Mr. Hay- thorne’s speeches are concerned, it is a caricature upon the truth. 1 am sure he did not intend it, but he spoke without

analyzing his subjéct, and he should be the last man to speak disloyally about the con- federation of this Province. As for Mr. Davies, he is largely interested in having a false impression or a false opinion abruad ‘among the electors of this Province on

the Frarchiie Bill. It is mre than Mr. Davig can do to support his opinions ceuceinng the Franchise

bill by facts. He will bave to do as he jalways did at political stumping—draw ‘largely on his imagination. Both Mr. 'Haythorne and Mr. Davies should confine themselves to explaining the principles and policy upon which their party expect to carry on the government of the country, should they attain to power, or discuss the policy of the present Government, and the McKenzie administration. Yours truly, LiBekaL Conservative. New London, Sept. 9th ’85.

A Culpable Blunder.

Sik,—Through « very culpable blunder of magistrates, cfticials, or printers, a late number of the Royal Gazette contained a grossly incorrect list of convictions by Magistrates in this County. The names of several highly respectable young men were published as offenders, and some of them represented as being heavily fined, while no service of any legal document was made or attempted to be made upontbem.. Not being sued or arrested there be no conviction or tine; yet they were gaztted as convigted of assault and fined, with a marginal remark that the suit was ‘‘settled by parties,” which was untrue.

It was bad enough that respectable young men should have their names published in this injurious manner in the Royal Gazette; but why the further and very unusual pub- licity of insertion in the Patviot, weekly and daily, should be given to this stupid list, is something that the friends of the injured parties cannot well saith

The Heat at Suakin.

SKIN CRACKING FROM REFRACTED HEAT AND BODY SCORCHING, These extracts from a Suakin diary show what the English soldiers had to endure in Africa :—

“Aug. 6,—J°am a seasoned vessel by this time and not hkely to cry out about trifles, but anything like the heat, as I was coming down the harbor in a boat between 8 and 9 o'clock a. m., I have not experi- enced in Suakin. There was not a breath of wind, and one felt, under an umbrella, just asifin front of an enormous furnace, everything was burning to the touch.

“7th, 1 o'clock p. m.—No words in the English, or any other language, can do jus- tice to the terrific heat of this most over- powering day. Il have just come dewn the creek from town ina boat. I bolted off the pier across the parade into my ient, and positively the skin on my face was crackling with the refraction from the ground, and my clothes are literally scorching my flesh. The sun through a thick double umbrella made my back feel more unpleasant than if standing in front of the hottest kitchen fire ; but it is no use trying to convey any idea of the reality; there is hardly a breath of air; tne thermometer under a double roof ina draught marked 111 deg. Pray Heaven the heat do not increase, or exist- ence will become a problem indeed. Yes- terday was a scorcher, but te-day took the shine for direet sun fury of all yet.

“8th, 7 a.°m.—But all yet was child’s play to last night. Imagine being in a close room at the back of a furnace, with oc- casional jets of half condensed steam turned on; that’s something like it. 8p. m.—Be- ginning to be rather exhausted and done; yesterday and last night might have satis- fied a salamander,

“9th.—A terrific night, not a motion on air, or sea or sky; the thermometer some- where between 90 deg. and 100 deg. I spent the hours of darkness crawling be- tween my bed in tent and my chair in open air; but the difference was hardly percep- tible in temperature. This sort of thing cannot go on; seven men sick this morning, and five this afternoon. I hear the Ist lieutenant of the Dolphin, which came in yesterday, was knocked down with sun- stroke, and died as they were casting anchor. Livery one agrees—natives and residents-—that such severe and long con- tinued hot weather has not been known for many years. The inhabitants are perishing like flies.

“10th—Heard at daybreak the three volleys over the water. Our old friend the Kameeen is breezing up from equatorial Africa, and, no doubt, we shall not want a pair of skates yet awhile. 5 p. m.—The promise of the morning has been amply fulfilled by a scorcher of the afternoon, 108 degrees in coolest corner, but the breeze has come and we breathe once more. When once the thermometer touches a certain height, every day for weeks after it will at one time or other reach that point, or near it, so that one cannot com- fort oneself with a about exceptional weather. The hospitals on land @re all full, so now they are tarting one on board ship. Three more volleys. Farewell.”

** We announce with much satisfaction that, through the representations made by our members of parliament, the Dominion Government has agreed to grant a subsidy of $3,200 a mile for the branch raiiway from Meccan to the Joggins mines.— Am- herst Gazette.
