The New London-Crapaud Cam- paig nu. We are in receipt of the following by telephone from Dr. McNeill ‘Mr. Warburton having arranged meet- ings for the whole district without first con- salting me,{ offered to ar:ance and matuaily agree in a give-and-take spirit. We have at last agreed to meet at Bonshaw on the 18th, at Crapaud on the 19th, and Spring- tonen the 20th. Arranging for future meetings at Bonshaw. So if he is to carry out his programme by proxy, it will be impossible for me to attend the meetings, andl don’t want to inconvenience the farm- ers with two meetings when one ought to do.” We hope that Dr. McNeill will, in any event, arrange to be present at every public meeting held by his opponent. e+e Discordant Elements in the States. Wate the grit papers and politicians are abusing Sir John A. Macdonald for his reference to the ‘discordant elements ” which fill the United States, and declaring that he ‘‘insuited the States,”” the press and politicians of the States are busily eu- gaged in discussing the question of measures to prevent an increase of these ‘‘ discordant elements.” It is openly admitted that they menace the peace and order of the neigh- boring republican community. For in- stance, Harper's Weekly, received last evening, says that ‘there is a constant and large arrival in this countsy of a European population which is not only not wanted, but is « sé; ious publi danger.’ New York Evening Post and Times pro- pose respectively ‘‘a discrimination based upon knowledge of the lauguage and ability te pay a substantial immigration tax.” It is further stated that ‘the flow of immigra- tion is threatening in many ways, but in none more than in its effect upon the suf- frage.” Absolute ignorance of the English language and the United States’ history, and of all the political traditions and habits of the country, is said to be ‘‘an evil which immediately menaces the Goverament by making the vote a mere commodity.” There is much more to the same effect —-all showing that Sir John Macdonald spoke truly at Halifax when he pointed out sume of the difficulties which have to bo met in the States and the many advantages which we enjoy in Canada, ‘The predominance of the principle of virtue is absolutely es- sential to the stability of republican gov- ernments; but it seemsthat whatever virtue there is in the States is likely, ere long, to be overpowered—voted down—by vice. —_—- = Again, the False and Foul. Tue Patriot’s attempt to connect Mr. Ferguson with the authorship of Tue Ex- AMINER’S articles on the Senatorship is as false as ‘it is foul, But the charge is calculated to damage Mr. Ferguson. It therefore, made. No means are despicable to ignored, if they will but tend to injure Mr. Ferguson's character and lower him in the public estimation. If the could only be impressed with the idea ,that Mr. Ferguson writes articles for Tur Examiner in praise of himself, a step towards that end would be gained. So the attempt,— false, foul, unmanly, unnecessary, as it is, —is made. But if the appointment of Senator Macdonald cannot be defended ex- cept by resort to calumnious personalities in the press, the case is much worse than we is, too be peopie have ever said or thought it was! The answer of the editor of the Patriot to Mr. Ferguson's letter of denial is that ‘be cannot deny that he has spoken the senti- ments which it contains,” & man in the Grit, who has to the same sentiments. Tue INeR'sS article was merely plain representation of public opinion respecting the appointment. Everyoue said or thought the same thing about it. But Mr. Fer- guson, of all men, is singled out as the author of ‘THe Examiner's article. The editor of the Patriot is ready enough to complain when his name is improperly used by the press. Why is he not more careful about the improper use of Mr, Fer- guson's name? it is the only way by which to injure Mr. Ferguson. Mr. Fer- guson is proof against fair and legitimate attacks. So, unfair and illegitimate attacks must be made. There is hardly community, Tory not given expression or EXAM- a trOse of the proposed Canadian — Speaking and P. E.

The Chairman of the Street Committee, Councillor Douse, is directing all the work, and is doing the best he can to meet the demands of the citizens. OO The Northumberland. We are indebted to Captain Alexander Cameron for a copy of the Newcastle Daily -Journal containing the following account of the trial trip of the Steam Nav- igation Company’s new steamer the North- umberland ; On Saturday, the new steamer Northumberland proceeded to sea for her official trial trip. She is locking steel screw steamer, built and en- gined by Messrs. Wigham Richardson & Co. of the Neptune works, Low Walker, for the Charlottetown Stean: Navigation Company of Charlottetown, P. E. 1. for their traffic between P. E. I. and the main- land of Canada. She has handsome ac- commodation for a large number of passen- gers in a deckhouse extending cver about three-quarters of the vessel’s length. The saloon, which is about 120ft. long, is very handsomely fitted in neatly decorated hard- wood, and well upholstered. Atthe after part there is the ladies saloon, and there are besides asmoking room, a few state rooms, and other conveniences. The ‘tween deck space is reserved for cargo, which is wheeled on board through large doors in the ship’s sides. The Northum- berland is built for high speed, and is _pro- pelled by twin screw triple expansion en- gines of the builders own design and make. These ehgines worked to perfection on the trial trip, easily maintaining a mean speed of 153 knots on a continuous run of six hours, the speed on the measured mile be- ing 157 knots. After a most successful trial trip the vessel returned to the Tyne. Amongst the company on board were Mr. Richards of Charlottetown, one of the owners ; Mr. Christie and Mr. Tweedy, of the builders firm ; and Mr. Anderson, who has superintended the vessel during con- struction. The Northumberland will sail for Canada in a few days under the com- mand of Captain Cameron. ——_ te Religious Services.

Woman—A Problem, It is difficult to understand why so many women suffer in silence from hose diseases peculiar to their sex, when they have at their command a remedy guaranteed to put an end to their suffering and restore them to perfect health. Dr. William’s Piak Pills never fail in cases of functional derangement, irregular- ities, suppressions, bearing-down pains, weak- ness, andthe many other complaints with which womankind is afflicted. They restore the system, enrich the blood and bring the ved and rosy glow of health to pale and sallow cheeks, They are equally efficacious from girlhood to old age, and are a boon anda blessing to suffering women, Mrs. 8S. Devine, Petawawa, Ont., writes :—My daugbter has been ill for the last two years. She is pale, weak, short of breath, with ringing noises ip the head, cold hands and feet, and not RIGHT, Doctorlng all the time and of no benefit, The doctor says her blood has turned to water, and that she is ran down very low. After tak- ing four boxes Pink Pills she again writes ; I enclose balance dus on pills. Iam well satisfied with them; and I must say that I have got every Satisfaction that any person could ask. I can recommend your Pink Pills to anyone that is out of health. The change in my daughter's health «nd appearance is so wonderful that a great many persons are continually asking me forsome of the med cine that cured her, so I wish to take an agency for the sale of your pills in this place. Mr. M—— M— » Brockville, Ont., says :— Gentlemen: My daughter S——~ was sick for about a year, crying all the time with the pains of her head and eyes. In the morning her eyes and face were all swelled. She was pale and short of breath, with great jumpings of her heart whenever she tried to do anything ur walk. Appetite bad or else entirely gone, with a dirty tongue and a bad stomach. She was never properly reguler. She took two boxes of Dr, Williams’ Pink Pills and they cured her, She became regular within a moath, and she re- mained 80 since and is in the best of healtp I can heartily recommend these Piils to all suffer- ers who are ia the missrable condition my daughter was.
