Oo ee sh ameas .e ¢ a coed -¥ AAR IAEC D THE DAILY EXAMINEK DECEMBER 8; t892 Rotes and Comments. —Montreal G The Stulents o Victoria College L.terary Association, after due debate, have resolved that the premier of Canada should -be—a Protestant. — Now. if the yi iw men of Laval would meet snd resoive that the tigst minister should be,a Roman Catholi¢ thidgs could go en again. —It is stated that the car works at St. John are to be’ removed to" Awmiheret,~ thet cause being thas St. John has the eight- hour system, under whieh her manafactur- ers are at 4 disadvantage as compared with those of Ontario. In Amberst the men will work for ten houts a day, and the townsmen are subscribing a large propor- tion of ths stock required for working cap ital. -- President Harrison seized a last op- portunity to give Canada a parting kick. In the course of his message to congress on the 6th inst., he is reported to have said **We should withdraw the support given Canadian railroads and steamships treffi which properly belongs to us It is prob able that a consideration of the propriety of a modification or abrogation of the article in the (reaty of Washington relating to the transit of goods in bond is involved in aay complete solution of the question.’ —Says the London Times of November 17th : “Everybody vaguely knows that Can ada is prosperous, that its name stands well in the money markes, that it grows enormous quan- tities of wheat, that its trade is large, and its railway system and itesSeystem of water com- munication are of wonderful extent, but this knowledge is not often made precise by stat- istics. This is apropos of Mr. Foster's Jumiaous speech in London, and is a very gratifying tribate to Uunada’s position. ~—It seems to be be certain that the mon- etary conference will not result in any dis- turbance of financial conditions. The must that can be hoped for out of the confereuce is some trivial advantage for silver, such as the increases of the amount for which silver may be legal tender, or an agreament to ab- stain from small gold coinage. The in- evitable result of the conference must be to discredit more than ever the United States silver dollar, and to make it impossible for the treasury to coatinue buying and coining silver at the present rates. -The Canadian Journal of Commerce says there is an old saying that the burnt child dreads the fire, and we cannot help thinking that the late disastrous conflagra- tion in St. Johns, Newfoundland, has somewhat blinded the usually clear-sighted judgment of the home companies It is hardly fair because a city, which was so manifestly deficient in fire protection as St. Johns was proved to be, is swept by the devouring element, therefore a large portion of another country should be taxed for the sins to which it was no party This savors a little too much of the doctrine of robbing Peter to pay Paul, and it would be just as sensible fur the companies to raise the rates in New York or Boston in the event of a big fire in San Francisco. Put the saddle on the right horse and let everyone bear his own burden should be the principle upon which the fire insurance companies should act, in which case they will be reasonably certain tu carry the public with them. A correspondent of the Farmer writes *T am not aware that Thomson has placed the miry roads of early winter in his tale of “congenial horrors,” but avy Island tra veller or reader who feels curious on the subject will find it treated | mely Saxon; “‘slee, sla, slud,” in Cowper's poems, and also in late numbers of Tue Examiner and other Island journals. In treating of the roads at this season of the year it is not cus- tomary for any of our opposition papers to indulge in lofty strains of poetry as Thompson did. They usually content themselves with the idiomatic prose custom- ary among politicians; whatever claims their style may have to force of expression, it seldom rises to any sublime height of literary elegance. In fact, it could hardly be expected, in the present condition of the highways, that any scribe or journalist in Her Majesty's opposition should go out of his way io hunt for fine phrases in an article intended to demolish the Attorney- General and bring discredit on his new Government road-scraper—oh, no. Poetry is the form of language usually employed in praise. The roads at present are a subject for prayer. —An exchange recalls the Scandinavian tradition that when the gods felt themselves to be growing feeble and infirm, they re- sorted to the apple for renewing their pow- ers of mind and body, and German anal- ysts say that the apple contains a larger percentage of phosphorus than any other fruit or vegetable. Phosphorus is admir- ably adapted for renewing the essential nervous matter of the brain and spinal cord. The acids of the appleare of great use in eliminating from the body all nox- jous matters which tend to make the brain heavy and dull and to bring about jaundice and gimilar troubles, Unwittingly we take apple sauce with roast pork,roast goose and similar dishes, as a medicine as well as a relish. Many of our common fruits, says a high medical authority, are among our best remedial agents. Oranges, figs, tamar- inds, prunes, dates and plums, are laxa- tives; ¢éranberries, blackberries, pears and wild cherries are astringents; grapes, peaches, strawberries, whortleberries and black currants are diuretics; gooseberries, red and white currants and melons are re- frigerauts, and lemons, limes and apples ere refrigerants and stomach sedatives. Taken in the early morning an orange acts very decidedly as a laxative, sometimes amounting toe a purgative. Figs split open form an excellent poultice for boils and abcesses. Strawberries and iemons are useful in removing tartar from the teeth Apples correct nausea and are useful in sea-sickness. Barberries are good for fever patients in the form of a drink. For Over Firry Years Mrs. Winsloes Soothing Syrup has been used by millions of mothers for their children while cutting teeth. It relieves the little sufferer at once ; it pro- duces natural, quiet sleep by relieving the child from pgim, aud the little cherub awakes as ‘bright as a button.” Itis very pleasant totaste. It soothes the child, softens the gums, allays all pain, relieves wind, regulates the bowels, and is the best-known remedy for diarrhea, whether arising from teething or other causes.’ ‘['wenty-five cents a bottle.

Heber Haslam deliver his illustrat- sd lecture on ‘*Western Canada.” Mr. Haslam gave some beautiful illustrations of Quebec, Montreal and scenes on the St. Lawrence River, before taking the audience o the far west and picturing life on the pratries, -~Phere--were--some-magniticent- farm scenes, consisisting of reaping, thresh- ing; stacking, hauling grain to marke& gto. , aa well 4s scenes of farm homesteads, sreameries, sheep and cattle pens, etc. But The fist , ot the most illustra- tive, part df the whole lecture was the des- cription and views of the incomparable scenery of the Rocky mountains. Expres- sions of surprise and admiration were heard m all sides as view after view of mountain peak and cascade, lake, river and canyon wete fisshed on the ecreen. The lecture was an undoubted success and all present were charmed with the beautiful views given. After the illustrated part of the lecture was over, Mr. Haslam addressed the audience for a short time on the Northwest and its suitability as a field for prospective emigrants from the Lower Provinces. He said that the C. P. R was severely criticised for trying to induce people to leave the Lower Provinces and go to the Northwest. But the facts were taat there weregfnearly 30,000 people left the Maritime Provinces this year for the New England states. Surely it was quite legitimate, he said, for the C. P. R. to try and get at least some of these peuple to go to the Northwest. People are now flocking to that country from all over the world, and largely from the Northwestern states, and it wasa pity that so magnificent a country should be taken up by foreigaers and that our own people who own it should be left by their own shortsizghtedness without their heritage. He went on to say that the C. P. R. had the utmost faith in the country, and were building railways all through it, away in advance of settlement, knowing very well that as soon as the country was pro- perly known it would immediately fill up. What had operated most to the disadvan- tage of the Northwest in the past, so far as European emigration is concerned, was the fact that the great Transatlantic lines of steamers sailed tu the United States ports, and European immigrants, not having a very good idea of the geography of America and the best places to go, naturally were absorbed by the Uniced States. But, be- fore long, he hoped that Canada would have an Atlantic line of steamers of her own as good as the best; and if these steamers were owned by the C. P. R, as they would most surely be, that company would have agents all over Europe solicit- ing business for this line, and the advan- tages of the Northwest would be brought to the attention of the overcrowded portions of Europe. In conclusion, Mr. Haslam said that the 10. P. R. had selected twelve representa- tive men from the Lower Provinces and had taken them through the Northwest last summer. Every facility had been | given them for seeing the country, and they were asked to report on it, which they have done. The report prepared by these delegates will be issued in a few days and anyone can procure it by sending a postal card to the OC. P. R. office, Monc:on, y 2 — ore Meeting at Cape Traverse. A MEETING was held at Cape Traverse a few evenings ago to consider the necessity and importance of petitioning the Domin- ion Government for a sum sufficient to complete the harbor accommodations at that place. Mr. Stephen Black occupied the chair, There wasa good attendance of electors, Addresses were made by 8. F. Perzy, M. P.. Senator Howlan, John Yeo, M. P..G. W. Bentley and J. UW. Bell, M. P. P’s., in the order in which the names are given. They confined their re- marks mainly to the great necesssty of daily communication with the mainland, all agreeing that at these railway termini, viz , Cape Traverse and Cape Tormentine, is the shortest and most suitabie route to obtain the same. Mr. Alex. Strang, with a few introduc- tory remarks, submitted the following res- olution : Whereas, The growing shipping wants of our fariners, as well as the accommodation of the travelling public, require more rapid and frequent daily connection with the railway systems of the continent; and Whereas, The distance between the piers at Cape Traverse and Cape Tormentine beirg only about eight miles, unmistakabiy point out the Capes route as the shortest and quickest to the mainland; Therefore Resolved, That in the opinion of this large and representative meeting the Dominion Government should adopt this route as the public mail route fur mails and pass- engers. VY hereas, The following facts are apparent : Ist. There is just about finished at Cape Tormentine # magnificent p'er at which sea- geing ships can load and discharge. 2ud.—The P, E. I. and N. B. Railway Co, connects daily with the Intercolonial at Sack ville from thie picr, thus making daily connection with the railway system of the continent. 3rd.—It is contemplated to build a railway from Cape Tormentine to Shediac, Both of these will make quicker connection with Halifax and St. Joho than at present. 4th.—The P. E. I. Railway connects daily with Cape Traverse. 5th.—The water at the end of the pier at Cape Traverse being nearly dry at low tide renders it unfit at present here for general shippiug purposes, 6:h —The Dominion Government have, from time to time, caused surveys, borings, reports and plans te be made with a view of making harbor and pier accommodations suitable to the wants of the place. Therefore Resolved, That a petition be for- warded to the Dominion Government asking for a sum sofficient to cause the necessary harbor accommodations as aforesaid, to be made at Cape Traverse. The resolution was unanimously adopted. After tendering votes of thanks tc the chairman and members of Parliament present, the meeting adjourned. Rack-Ache. ——— Back-ache is caused by sick kidreys.

Fifiy-Twe Electors Duped, Moncron, Dec. 8. A sharp trick was practiced by one of THe EXAMINER Mclnerney’s friends and canvassers at Buctouche Bay, in Kent county on Tuesday. He told a number of French electors that if they desired to make sure ofa French representative they shi u'd vote for both Frenchmen. Filty.two ballots were found with a cross opposite the name LeBlanc and Johnson. All such ballots were rejected. When the electors found how they had been duped they made an attack upon the polling booth, destroy- ing the ballot box and chasing the polling officers away. An official was struck and badly injured. ol. JOHN NOTES. The Graveyard Case. Sr. Jouy, Dee. 8. Attorney-General Blair has dissolved his Fredericton partnership with the view of taking up practice in St. John, and it is said that C. W. Weldon has cffered him a partnership, A second indictment in the graveyard insurance cases will be on for trial to day. ln this case the charge is corspiracy to defraud. The defendants are Rev. Syduey Welton, his brother C. B. Welton, and Dr. DIED DRUNK! A VERY SAD CASE. SAcKVILLE, Dec. 8. Yesterday the body of Joseph Noiles, of Midgic, was found in a ditch near the read on West Marsh, together with his horse and a badly demolished wagon. Noiles left Amherst for home the previous even- ing, badly intoxicated, with a wagon load of liquor. The immvdiate cause of his death is supposed to be due to exposure, as the body when found was up to the knees in water. a ‘‘Jim’s’” Confassion He Admits That it Was False. ; Ottawa, Dec. 8. A communication was received at the Department of Justice yesterday stating that the prisoner *‘Jim,” now in Durches- ter penitentiary, has admitted that his con- fession was alie. He says that he made the confession with the object of saving **Buck’s” neck. An Improbable Repert. Ortawa, Dec. 8. No confirmation can be obtained here of the report from St, John that Judge King is to be appointed to the Supreme Court of Canada, and vudge Fraser Governor of New Brunswick. It bears the impress of improbability, however, as the present Supreme Court vacancy is due to Nova Scotia, and will be filled from that province. Honor to Sir John. Toronto, Dec. 8.
