The majority for Dr. Montague, the Conservative elected in Haldimand, was five. The constituency has long been re- garded as a stronghold of the Opposition. The Minister of Agriculture has receiv- ed a letter from Colonel! Goldie, of the Im- perial Army, stating that he has been ap- pointed by the War Oilice to proceed to Canada, where he will. permanently reside, to pure hase horses for the British service. The Colonel states that he will arrive at Ottawa the last of the present month. Under the new Liquor License Law which went into force in Halifax yesterday, all licensed bar-rooms can open at 7 a. m., and keep open til 9 p. m., except on Saturdays, when they must close at 6 They can sell nothing less than a pint not more than a gallon. The wholesale licenses can sell nothing less than an octave. No liquor must be drank on the premises where it is sold, so that ‘‘ drinking at the bar” isdone away with, anda pint is the smallest quantity that can be bought, and holders of hotel licenses can sell only to guests of their house in their rooms or at | the table during meals. [In view of the report that Sir John Macedon vid's deposit of two hundred dollars had not been legally made, and that his election was consequently void,a correspon- dent of the Montreal Witness called on Sir appointed and recognized went to learn the facts of the case. The agent, when asked if the report was true that an outsider had made the deposit on behalf of Sir John, said: ** Whoever says so isaliar. 1 made the deposit myself and took the precaution to have the money all in Dominion notes —tifty four dollar bills which | handed to Sheriff Sweetland, whose | receipt I hold for the same. They haven't caught us this time,” concluded the agent. di ns he gally A large number of Grit members of the Loeal Le : lature of Nova Scotia and New Branswick who vacated their seats as did the Hon. D. Ferguson, were defeated as candidates for the Dominion House of Com- mons ted Grit eandidates have again a constitutents in the Local Legislatures and the ‘ ; allowed them t , . These gete ; ppealed to their *wic ked Tories’ be elected by acclamation, as did also the Grits of Summerside in the the Hen. Mr. Lefurgey. But so deep-rooted is the malice and hatred of the faction against Hon. Mr. Ferguson, that they could not allow him to be so elected ; and they have put the country to the ex- pence and the electors of the Third Dis- trict to the trouble and annoyance of an- other election contest. : The Toronto Globe, the day*before the election in the Northwest Territories, pub- lished the following telegram: case of “MR, LAIRD'S SUUCESS, ‘Sr. Lavruent, N. W..T., March 12.—A large meeting was held at Batoehe yesterday, atWended by he arly 500 H slibreeds, who con- demned the Government and will vote for Mr. | Laird. Messrs. Lemieux and Campeau ad- dressed the meeting. The enthusiasm was intense. The meeting closed with cheers for the Queen, Mr. Blake, Mr. Laurier, and Mr. Laird. ’ The returns so far received show that Mr. Laird did not receive 500 votes in the whole Territory. Mr. Lemieux, referred to, was Riel’s counsel. It appears that Mr. Laird attempted to get into Par- liament on the race and revenge cry ! The Montreal Witness (Grit) is very much afraid that the Government will spend too much money in the Maritime Provinces. Sir Charles Tupper is abused for having promised that thirteen million dollars will be expended in Nova Scotia within the next four or five years. The Witness comforts itself with the fact that P. E. island has gone Grit, and consequent- ly millions will not be spent on the Subway scheme. Just so. The upper province grits are opposed to the Subway, and there is no use in their friends here trying to deny it. Butthe Island, we believe, will yet obtain its rights in spite of Mr. Blake and his followers, Is it not as well to spend millions in public works in Nova Scotia and P. E. Island as tospend millions in Ontario and Quebec? The Witness thinks not. Sir Charles differs from the Witness, and so notwithstanding the result of the elee- tions—do the people of P. E. I. ~ In imitation of Messrs. Davies and Walsh, Messrs. Robertson and MelIntyre have issued their card of thanks to the electors. Messrs. Yeo and Perry's turn comes next. This is all the Grit M. P.’s elect have to offer their supporters. The very least they can do is to offer thanks. Sut that the Grit electors of P. E. Island are satisfied with such a meagre return for ill the labor spent on their candidates may safely be questioned. We venture the assertion that a large proportion of those who voted Grit at the last election, already bitterly regret having done so. They were told by designing men that Sir John would be defeated. Sir John is sustained, and will have over forty of a majority in the new Parliament. Hence, dismay and dis- appointment im the (rit ranks prevail all along the line. A simple little card of thanks from the fortunate ones is a very puor return indeed. But then this is all there is forthe Grit following, and they must only accept it and be thankful. —A proposal to build another bridge over the East River, New York, or to put a subway across it, has been favorably received. ‘“‘Itis a potent fact,” says the Brooklyn Times, “‘that the Washington street bridge is already being taxed to its utmost, and the need of additional means of rapid transit across the river is becoming more apparent day by day. The drift of popular sentiment seems to favor the tun- nel project. Some years ago several gentle- men interested themselves in a scheme to span the river bottom with a tubular tun- nel. The tunnel would be supplied with electric lights and cars run by the cable system. Another feature of the proposed undertaking was a system of tram cars for the tunnel proper, on which teams would be driven and thus be hauled across by means cable Che cost of such a } 4 7+ te at er 7h . } ; plant, it is said, would be simply nominal when pared with that of the bridge ° : : . a S hoW lu use, And tue expense of maaintain- img if but a trifle. This tunnel, it is thought, could be built tor $1,000,000, or under.” The Times, laboring under a slight mistake, says: ‘Such a tunnel is low im process of construction in Canada, the length of which, won com nleted, will | tant. ' =" | House of Commons several years ago when "THE DAILY E Last Night's Concert. Tux Concert in the Lyceum last might coucluded the celebration of St. Patrick's Day in this city. A large and fashionable iudience were present notwithstanding the disagreeable weather, The prograiuime was well and faithfully carried out. The vocal solo **When ‘tis Moonlight,” by Miss Newbery, was sweetly sung, and encored. Mrs. Strickland did ample justice to ‘‘Nora’s Treasure,” and responded to an encore with ‘‘Oft in the Stilly Night.” Miss Hickey’s ‘* Beautiful Isle of the Sea,” was encored also, and * The Harp that Once,” sung in reply. Mr. Strong's solo, **Good bye Mavourneen,” was well received, and to an encore he responded with ‘‘Mr. Muleahy, Esquire,” bringing down the house. Mr. Maynard's character song, ‘The MeGinnis Guards,” pleased the audience and was encored. Mrs. D. O'M Reddin, jr., accompanied the per- formers on the piano and played with re- uiarkable skill and good taste. The Violin duet ‘* String Study No. 2,” by those two musical prodigies— Miss M. Macdonald and Master Hyndman—was capitally executed. Mr. Vinnicombe’s clarionet solo with string xccompaniment, showed that that gentle- man is almost as much at home with the clarionet as with the king of instru- ments. The four selections by Mr. Vinni- combe’s Orchestra were rendered with characteristic precision and attention to detail, and were much appreciated by the large audience. Mr. Warburton’s address was brief, pointed and well received. He opened with a reference to the ‘‘day we celebrate” and to the enthusiasm with which the Irishman, no matter where his lot is cast, manifests on that day ; after which he feelingly touched upon the early and successful labors of St. Patrick in evangelizing Ireland. He contrasted the ireland of ancient times with the Lreland of the present, and in scathing language repudiated the idea that Lrishmen were not ‘fit to be entrusted with the management of their own affairs. He next spoke of the irish Parliament and of the dissensions which arose in the latter part of the last century; and briefly referred to the act of ‘union passed about ninety years ago which he said might properly be called an act of disunion. ‘The dissensions which arose in Ireland at the time her Parliament was threatened, have not materially decreased up to the present, and would not, in his opinion, decrease until the cause was removed—-until Ireland's Parliament was restored a time that cannot be far dis- He remembered being in the British the plucky Home Rule party were making a determined stand for Insh rights, and seeing them laughed at for their pains. He thought it high time a change were made forthe better in Lreland. Evictions were the order of the day in that unhappy country —even inthis new-born year they are of daily occurrence. But this sad state of af- fairs cannot long continue. The Irish peo- ple have spoken with no uncertain sound, and they have the sympathy of nations at their back. In the past as well as in the present, many effurts have been made to better the condition of Ireland. Some of these efforts were not, perhaps, so well directed as they should, but all were honest. The people of Great Britain now see plainly that every race has its peculiar- ities, and that one of the peculiarities of the Irish people is that they will not be ruled by an alien parliament, no matter how good that parliament’s in- tentions may be. The story of lreland’s former greatness, as well as of her past and present wrongs, is graven upon the heart of every Irishmen. The story is handed down from one to an- other, the mother instilling it into the lisping babe at her knee. Irishmen can look back to the time when Ireland was famous as a seat of learning through- out the world, and can point with pride to the achievements of her gifted sons in France, Spain, the United States and other countries. The names of O'Connell, Burke, Grattan, Cur- ran and others are lovingly remembered, and in our own fair Island no name kindles enthusiasm like that of the gitted Whelan. In the present Dominion Parliament we have a talented and worthy Irish represen- tative in the person of Hon. John. 8, D. Thompson—a man whom all classes respect and esteem—as well as several others. He was pleased to state, in concluding, that a better day was dawning for the Irish people. Gladstone has taken up their cause and made it his own, and the time is fast ap- proaching when the great heart of Ireland will be full of life, when her trammels will be thrown off, and she will be again re- stored to all her ancient glory and fame. Just before the conclusion of the Concert, Senator Howlan thanked the audience for their attendance, and complimented the performers on their great success. After ‘**God Save the Queen” the audience dispersed. Fishery Protection. In the course of a recent interview, Capt. Scott, R. N., of the Fishery Pretection ser- vice said / ** We expect to have a pretty lively season, provided such action is taken as the American newspapers foreshadow. Even if the fishery regulations are enforced as vigorously as ever this year, I don’t look for any great falling off this summer in the fleet of the American fishing vessels. Their catch, however, according to their own ad- mission, has been greatly reduced. ‘Our neighbours,’ resumed the comman- der with a smile, ‘profess to want nothing froia us; but my experience last year leads mé to an entirely different conclusion. do not believe the reports that they wil! go so far as to arm their vessels with the object of resisting the enforcement of the regulations. Such an act would be piracy, but we must be prepared [for eventualities. The cruisers have rendered good service, and the number will, if necessary, be in- creased to meet al) requirements. They proved specially advantageous in watching American orc bine following the mackerel run. Running in shore on their part ineant almost certain capture. The officials engaged in the service have been badly treated and blackguarded.

AMI NER, - LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. The City Building. Str,—The criticisms of certain councillors during the meeting on Monday night, on my letter, in which I asked the Council to consider my plans for the new city building and call for tenders upon the same, are calculated to lead some of the citizens to imagine that I was acting setishly in press- ing my claims upon the Council, after a resolution had been passed, authorizing the employment of Messrs. Phillips & Chappell to prepare plans. As the courtesy of a ah to the criticisms was not offered me during the meeting, I wish to place my action in a fair manner before the people in your columns. In my letter to the Council I did not say that Messrs. Phillips & Chappell copied my plans, as reported in your columns ; and to set your readers right perhaps you will kindly publish the letter. { have no feelings of il'-will against those gentlemen, and having as much work on hand as I can attend to, they are perfectly welcome to carry on their business without my wishing to cross them, But feeling strongly that from the commencement, in regard to this building, I had been dealt unfairly with by the Council, [ was deter- mined to push my claims to the last. I prepared my plans some two years ago, when the building was at first proposed, and embodied therein some valuable arrangements for fire departments, which | had picked up while im Chicago a few months before. 1 minutely explained every item of my plans to each councillor indi- vidually, and to most of the ofli- cials, who all acknowledged the building to be perfect in arrange- ment. A meeting of the Council was to be held on the evening of the day when { made such explanations; but considera- tion of plans, however, was suddenly put off for a fortnight, and during this time Messrs. Phillips & Chappell’s§plans were prepared under directions as to accomoda? tion required, |] understand, from coun- cillors and city officials. That they did not copy or iatend to copy my arrangement of plan which was an excellent one, 1 can well understand, and it may be perfectly true. But as a certain similarity is appareat be- tween their plans and mine, [ shall hold the city responsible, if the building is ere:t- ed, for having benetited by my ideas, —under the new statutes regarding the copy- rights laws which protect artists, architects and others in the uses and possessions, of their own productions. : The lowest tender for the building now decided upon was ten thousand one hund- red and seventy five dollars; and if to this sum is added the cost of supervision and plans and other items of necessary expen- diture, not contained in the contemplated contract, the total cost will run between ten thousand five hundred and eleven thous- and dollars, which proves the calculations contained in my letter to the Council to oe correct, I gave the citizens a great deal of valu- able time in arranging and superintending the improvements in the upper portion of Prince Street during last summer, and in- tended to have attempted a similar work in connection with Rochford Square and Government Pond during the coming sum- mer ; but as I have received such ungener- ous treatment at the hands of the city 8 re- presentatives, I shall probably save myseif the thankless task. I remain, Yours respectfully, W. C. Harris, Architect. Ch’town, March 17. CHARLOTTETOWN, 12th March, 1887. To His Worship the Mayor and City Coun- cillors. GENTLEMEN,—I wish to submit to your kindly consideration the accompanying p and speci- fication. I prepared them when the new City Building was at first proposed, and spent consi- derable time in consulting various city officials as to accommodation required ; and I embodied the same in as economicai a form as possible. When my plans were prepared and explained, no action as to building was immediately taken, but a fort- night afterwards another set of plans, having many features of arrangement similar to mine, were prepared by other persons, and I have never since been able to induce the Council to thor- oughly consider the merits of my plans. Since that time my design for this building was ex- hibited in Ottawa, at the Royal «'anadian Academy’s annual exhibition, and thisisa suffi- cient guarantee of its excellence as an architec- tural work, As regards arrangement of accommodation, most of the officials acknowledged that my plans were far preferable to those on which tenders have been asked for. : Having obtained carefully considered figures on my plans from one of the leading contractors in this country, I am in a position to guarantee that the building according to my plans and specifica- tion, constructed as shewn with Nova Scotia free- stone, and brick walls and slate roof, can be erected for the sum of nine thousand dollars. This sum includes the architect’s charges for mak- ing plans and specifications and superintendiag. I hove included this item in the total, so that the amount named would not expose the contrac- tor’s figures in the event of tenders being cafled. It will be atonce apparent that this building can be erected for between one thousand five hundred and two thousand dollars cheaper than one according to the plans which have been ten- dered on. Seas I maintain also that my building as an effective architectural design is much superior to the other - - FRIDAY, MARCH 18, 1887. | 2 ea FARM SEEDS, GARDEN SEEDS | : Sipe, fate ein, i oh LONDON HOUSE, careful farmer wants is the best of the best of them all.
