a QR ES Death of Judge Pope.

'

Ir is, to-day, our sad duty to chronic\s _ 2 . me who, as Lawyer, Editor, : : i ee

Poktician an. Jadge, took, with credit, a

+a B Sie Patan | mart n the public aifsirs of Prince The spirit of Witrram

the death of

lead ing Ec¢ward !slaad. Hexay Pore passed away at half-past seve! o'clock this morning.

Judge Pope was taken iil on Saturday, While out shooting he suc and he was obliged to call his man-servant to his assistance iD A physician was

the -7th ult. became giddy ;

order to reach home. jin, and it was found that he had been

seized with congestion of the brain. The services of Doctors Jarvis and McKay, of Summerside, and Dr. Taylor, of this city, were obtained ; but despite their constant and best endeavors, the dread. dlisease

call

proved fatal. Judge Pope was born at Bedeque in the

year 1825. He was the eldest son of the Hon. Joseph Pope. His early years were spent and his education obtained in this Island and in England. He studied law with the Hon. Edward (now Chief Justice) Palmer. On the Ist of January, 1851, he was married to Miss DesBrisay, of this city. Eight children mourn his early and unex- pected death.

Personally, Judge Pope was a man of genial manners and scholarly tastes. He was a great reader and a good talker. His memory was one of the most retentive. He possessed a vast fynd of historical and scier tific knowledge ; and his rare convers- ational powers made his company much sought after by mer. of taste and learning. }

On the death of the lamented Duncan Mclean (April 15, i859), Mr. Pope became editor of the Islander ; and he wrote for that paper, with some interruptions, until Mr. ings, the publisher, retired from busi- ness. We are informed that his friendly and cordial relations with Mr. Ings were never marred by a quarrel. His style of writing was clear and logical. He dealt with the Land Question, the School Question, tha Confederation Question, questions of Trade, and all the questions and matters engaging public attentien from time to time, with great ability ; and he fully maintained the position of the Islander as the leading Conservative organ of the Colony.

His political career was an eventful one. He was in the Legislature as representa_ tive of Belfast, and in office as Colonial Secretary, during an eventful period of our history. In'1864 he was (with Messrs. J. H. ‘iray, Edward Palmer, George Coles, Edwird Whelan, and A. A. McDonald) one of the Island delegates to Quebec to discuss terms of Union; and he was one of the ablest and most Strenuous advocates of Con- federation. In 1865 he went, with the Hon William McDougall, of Ontario, the Hons. Thomas Ryan and 8. W. Dunscombe, of Quebec, the Hon. William Smith, of New Brunswick, and the Hons. James McDonald and Isaac LeViscounte, of Nova Scotia, to endeavor to procure improved trade rela- tions between the British North American Colonies and the West India Islands and Brazil. He acted as one of the Secretaries to the delegation, and was one of the best informed and most influential members.

Though not an orator, he was powerful in Parliament. No matter how fierce and scathing the attack of the opposition, he invariably preserved a calm and dignified manner, with thoughts well collected for the reply ; and he never lost his temper. He went out of Office in 1866, having been Colonial Svcretary for a term of seven years. Many Island statutes were drawn up under his direction ; and stand as monu- menis to his knowledge of the principles of law «nd to his sound legal judgment.

In 1875 he was appointed Court Judge for Prince County; and he filled that re- sponsible office with dignity, credit and satisfaction to all concerned till the hour of his cleath.

During his illness the interest and sym- pathy of all classes of the community was very evident ; and now that he is gone, we feg] sure the great sorrow of his family and friends is in some degree, at least, re-! ciprocated by the public at large.

H's funeral will take place on Tiursday, nexi: at three o'clock ; and he will rest in! the Churchyard at St. Eleanor’s.

Eastern Notes. (By our own Correspondent. ) Twine Brnpers.-—The Walter A. Wood Co., of Hoosac Falls, N. Y., manufacturers of mowing machines, etc., have been ex- perimenting for the last few days in and around Souris with a newly patented selt- binding harvester. The old self-binder uses wire for binding the sheaves—the new

uses common twine, which, for various reasons, is considered much more con- venient and preferable. lf the new ma-

chines bear the test of the trial which they are now undergoing, it is the intention of the Company to build and have in readi- ness for next year’s harvest a larger num- ber of these self-twine binders, which are expected in time to take the place of all other harvesters the world over. Whethe these expectations wil be realized or not, is not of such immediate importance to our Island farmers as. to have their grain cut well this year without money and without price. Bring along your machine, Brother Jonathan. Although you are not willing to reciprocate with us in matters of trade, we will be always ready to show you round our late grain fields; and as long as you cut thie gain for nothing and find yourself, you can experiment until the art of farm-

ing reaches a state of comparative pertec- tion. Brurat AFFRAY BETWEEN TWO BROTHERS.

—One of the most brutal encounters that ever come under our notice occurred near Souris on Saturday last, between two / brothers, farmers, who have not been living on the best of terms with eaeh other for some time back. Family quarrels are pro- verbially the bitterest and worst kind of disagreements and this case has proved it- self, we are sorry to say, pot an exception to the general rule. The dispute on Satur- day began about some trifling matter—a fight ensued as usual, and this time pitch- forks and sticks were resorted to. As might be expected, bodily harm was soon inflicted. John ran one of the ‘ prongs ” of the pitchfork through Tem’s nose, tear- ing away the bridge and othurwise fearfully lacerating the nasal protuberance. Medical aid was called in and at one time it was feared fatal injuries had been received, but it is now hoped that although the case is a serious one, the injured man may recover. Steps should be taken to prevent a recur- rence of this inost disgraceful and fiendish encounter.

Tue Roaps AND Brrivges,.— Notwitb- standing the constant c;vakinys ef the Grit press, the roads and bridges throughout the Island were never in better repair than at the present time, as hundreds of farmers can readily testify.

Messrs. Manning anp Montgomery. — The Patriot, now that Mr. Manning has been relieved of an office he never should have occupied, is very profrse in ils praises of the ex-Superintendent of Education. He would fain have the country believe that Mr. Manning is a most active and efiicient man. Now, the country knows thut Mr. M. was a mere old woman figure-head. In his visits to the country districts he notor- iously shirked his duties. He invariably either refused or neglected to even assist in grading ihe scholars in the higher schools. Take him allin all, we hope never to look upon his like again. And still the Patriot keeps shedding crecodile tears over his dismissal, as if Mr. Montgomery were be- neath him in intellectual attainments or fit- ness for office. The Government has dene right in dismissing the imported article and placing one of our own native-born P. E. Islander’s in ifs room and stead.

| The Beaconsfleld Prediction.

(From the St. John Sun.)

York World, has stated that either Sir John A. McDonald or Sir A. T. ‘thighest authority” referred to by the Earl of Beaconsfield when he assured his English audience that Canada was likely to take the place of the United States as an exporter of breadstnffs. ‘The HWorld has now with- drawn its statements, and the Telegraph will, of course, servilely hasten to follow the example. The /Vorld’s London corres- pondent, Mr. Louis Jennings, writes :—

halnothing tofear from the United States because the United States themselves were destined to be beaten by Canada im wheat growing. These are his words, and they are well worth quoting: ‘‘I feel convinced that 1 = 2 We voe - eee transitory that the very plac: of competition 1s doubtful, and when yon hear

it is wise for us not to take any precipitate steps.” (Z'imes’ report, Sept. 19.) Wheye the Premier could have picked up this amazing idea, I could, not at first imagine, but prob- ably he indicated the source in an earlier part of the speech. He had conversed, he said,

the highest living authority on such matters,”’

S. McLeod, |

The St. John Telegraph, copying the Newt

Galt was the |

He (the Earl) told his audience that they’

circumstances so} that Canada}

expcecis completely and successfully to beat!” the United States from the European markets; |

with one ‘‘who may probably be considered:

and this authority stated that when Canada broughtits 200.000,000 acres into cultivation, the “market of the United States would be destroyed.” ‘The authority thus referred to is doubtless Mr. James Caird.

The World says, editorially :-—

Our admirable London correspondent, Mr. L. J. Jennings, formerly the editor, when it last had an editor, of the New York Times, informed us,it will be seen, that it was neither 3ir A. T. Galt nor Sir Joan A, McDonald, but on the contrary Mr. James Caird, who rave Lord Beaconsiield the wonderful views as te the decay of American agriculture, with which he tras just electrified Buckinghamshire and the universe.

[ti wovld appear that Mr.{Sames Caird and Ear. Beaconsfield are supported by pretty good anthrity on this side of the Atlantic. The following telegram ap- peared jin our St. John evening papers on Saturday :—

Toronvo, Oct. 4.—The British Agricultural Commissioners, now in Winnipeg, were enter- | tained at a public banquet on Thursday eve- ‘ning, the Premier of the Province presiding. Our great wheat-growing belt in the Northwest was the chief topic of the several speakers, United States Consul Taylor remarking that tnree fourths of the wheat. producing territory of this Continent lies north of the boundary line,

We have, then, three important facts :—

1. On the best authority in the United States (for Consul General Taylor has made a study of the subject for many years) ‘‘three fourths of the wheat producing ter- ritory ef the Continent lies north of the boundary line,”—that is, in Canada’s North West, Manitoba and Ontario.

2. The Dominion Government has re- solved to expend five millions of doilars annually in building a Railway, to open up the North West wheat fields for settlement.

3. Steps are already being taken to in- fluence to the North West the farming population of England, who are about to emigrate by tens of thousands.

It is a fact that the attention of the people of the United States, of the agricul-

parts of Canada, has been directed to the Canadian Northwest, and that there is no longer any doubt of emigrants pouring into that country as rapidly as railway facilities can be provided for moving the settlers’ crops to a market. The future of the North- west is assured. Equally certain is it that the wheat fields of that country are nearer to Enrope (via Hudson’s Bay) than those of the Western States of the Republic. Under all the cireumstances there are good gounds for beliving that the virgin soil of Canada’s boundless North West wheat fields will throw completely into the shade the al- ready partially exhausted and limited areas of the Western States.
