Mr. Laurier, whom it is proposed to honor with the leadership of the Grit party in Parliament, the Moncton Transcript says ‘*Mr. Wilfred Laurier is one of the truest Liberals in the opposition ranks.” At the Chambly nominations in (Quebec Mr. Wilfred Laurier said : **T have said that had I been on the banks of the Saskatchewan I should have taken up my gun and used it. 1 said itand I now re peat a This, remarks the Moncton Times, is modern liberallsm. - Legislation devised for the benefit of labor does not always result as its framers intend. An example of this is found in the case of the employees of the railways in the New York city. Bills were passed by the legislature of New York state lately, making ten consecutive hours a day’s work on the elevated and surface railroads. This legislation has been met by the ele- vated railroad companies by a change in their pay system. Hereafter the employees of the elevated railroads affected by the act will be paid by the hour instead of by the day. The result will be a diminution in the wages of the employees as well as a de- crease in their hours of labor. Thus, this particular legislation, instead of benefiting those whom it was intended to serve, has rendered their condition worse than before. — The Montreal Herald, commenting on the statement of Senator Howlan, that if the money paid by the Dominion Govern- ment to keep communication open between the mainland and the Island were given his company as a subsidy, they would be enabled to construct and maintain the Sub- way, says :— **There is a good point inthe concluding sentence, which the Government can scarcely get over. The Government are committed to a large expenditure te keep up communication with Prince Edward Island in winter, and they have failed to do it in a creditable man- ner. Mr. Howland proposes to take what the Government expends in this way and give perfect communication. If this can be accom- plished the problem is solved. There will be no occasion for any $5,000,000 being taken from the Dominion Treasury, and the Govern ment would have no responsibility in the matter.” The Canadian Gazette contends that if the Government of the Duminion allowed the Canadian Pacific Railway to be tapped by United States roads it would be com- pelled to purchase from the company the part of the C. P. R. affected by the new roads connecting it with the United States railway system. It says :— ** We can quite understand that Sir George Stephen would say that if Parliament desired the Company to give up a main condition of their charter the price must be that the Gov- ernment bay back of the Company whatever sections of the road were built because of that main condition. The people of Canada and the Dominion Parliament know well that there could be no legal escape from this alter- native, and that in such a result it is not the Company but the commercial and political independence of Canada which would be ruined by the ensuing conquests of Canada by the United States railway system.” The General Assembly of the Presby- terian Church has made the following de- claration respecting Christian union : **The General Assembly, deeply sensible of the evils of dissension in the Church of Christ and of their confrariety to the true ideal of the Church as preseated in Scripture and es- —— in our Lord’s intercessory prayer, has veard with lively gratification of the action respecting Christian Union adopted by the Provincial Synod of the Church of England in Canada and its meeting in Montreal in Sep- tember last; and the Greneral Assembly hereby appoints a committee to confer with any similar committees which have been appointed or may be appointed by other branches of the Church of Christ in Canada and to report to the next meeting of the General Assembly. The General Assembly accompanies this action with the prayer that the — of the wisdom shall so direct any endeavor to secure the greater manifested unity of the Church of Christ, that truth and charity shaii be equal- ly promoted and the glory of the Church's head advanced.” -Principal Grant has been talking at Winnipeg on commercial union and kindred questions. Speaking of the difficulties under which confederation is laboring, he said : ** 1 think that the causes are, First, the great geographical barriers we have to contend against ; second, race difficulties; third, that element in our constitution that makes the provinces financially dependant upon the Dominion Government; fourth, that partyism that makes Parliament the slave instead of the master of the execu- tive.” Being asked what remedies he would suggest, he said: ‘* As to the geo- graphical difficulty, it is not now so great as it was ; the second we must conquer by spirit of conciliation; the third can only be cured by a revision of the constitution, and the fourth by the encouragement of the independent press and everything that tends to make men free men rather than slaves, by appeals to men’s reason and con- | science. This last element is developing in a way that gives me the greatest hope, and that alone is my main ground for uot ab- solutely despairing of the country. I be- lieve there is sufficient vitality in the Cana- dian people to conquer their own difficulties, if you could only get at their consvience.” es iiedeeabenieiniaiatlantedl THE DAILY EXAMINER, - - - The Methodists. FOURTH SESSION OF N. B. AND P. E. ISLAND CONFERENCE—PRELIMINARY CHANGES IN STATIONS —NEW CHARGES AGAINST REV. D. D. CURRIE TO BE BROUGHT FORWARD HIS LINE OF DEFENCE. Marysvit.e, June 14. \ large number of Methodist ministers of New Brunswick and P. E. Island arrived at Marysville to-day, to attend the fourth annual session of the New Brunswick and P. E. Island Conference. Dr. Stewart, President, and all ofticers of the conference are among the arrivals, and Rev. Dr. Car- man, Toronto, General Superintendent of the Methodist Church of Canada, will pro- bably preside to-morrow morning at the opening of the Conference. Visiting min isters and laymen are being entertained in a splendid manner by the hospitable resi- dents of Marysville. A missionary meet- ing was held in Marysville’s beautiful ‘thurch to-night, at which Rev. Benj. Chap- pell, of Summerside, preached to a large congregation. Rev. D. D. Currie’s case will come be- fore the conference again thissession. The rev. gentleman is in town with his counsel, L.A. Currey. Since the supreme court decided in his favor, ‘last November, many thought that the conference would abandon the prosecution, but such is not the case. A new complaint has been formulated, the prosecution in this case being Mr. Moore of Scotchtown, Queens County, father of the girl interested. New and important evidence will, it is alleged, be brought for- ward to substantiate the charges against Mr. Currie. The defendant, on the other hand, is prepared to prove (so it is said) that the charges area case of blackmail, and has additional and convincing evidence upon that point. Itis said that Gardner, the former fiancee of Miss Moore, two letters to the clergyman on that cir- cuit before Currie’s arrival, charging him with the crime of seduction. He paid no thinking to get a liberal settlement from Currie, the charge was preferred against him. The facts are that clergyman No. 1 left the circuit in August and Currie took charge in September; that Scotchtown being, as it were,an outlying district, Currie tollowed the example of his predecessor, and spent Saturday night in Moore’s house, preparatory to preaching {on Sunday. Currie was not aware, until two years after he was charged with the offence that similar threats had been made against his predeces- sor, but, hearing of it, he called upon him and obtained a written statement from him to the effect that an attempt had been made to blackmail him. These letters he has now in his possession. There is an evident determination on the part of members of the conference to sift the matter tothe bot- tom. Recent changes in discipline passed by the general conference to meet Currie’s case will, it is said, aid their efforts. Re — A A St. Josephs Convent. THE annual examination of the classes in | in a fixed perereing wrote | . attention to the threats and then, it is said, | Mr. Kamper’s Proposals. DETAILS OF THE SCHEME FOR THE PURCHASE OF THE INTERCOLONIAL, The proposals of the syndicate which Mr. Kemper claims to represent are published, They compose abound pamphlet of thirty pages, concluding with a large map of Eastern Canada, showing the Intercolonial Railway system as it is at present and as the Kamper syndicate suggest altering it. The title of the pamphlet reads as follows ;—‘' The proposals of the French syndicate presided over by Count Ducros, to the Government of Canada.” The personnel of the syndicate is given by the printed proposals as follows: Count Ducros, chief engineer of the Ponts et Chausses of France; M. the Marquis de Beauvoir, vice- president of the Banque de Chevilly; M. Max- ime Desmaisons, president of ‘‘La Societie de Navigations des Beateau de la Seine.” With the assistance of the St. Chamond Iron and Steel Company of France, capital said to be $4,000,000, and it is added, a group of the principal banks of Paris. Mr. Kamper, on behalf of the syndicate, gives the Bank of Montreal as his reference regarding its financial strength. The syndicate makes a proposition to the Government under three heads: First, to build certain extensions of the Intercolonial in Cape Breton. In this they would occupy largely the position of or- dinary contractors. Secondly, to establish blast furnaces in Nova Scotia for the manu- facture of steel rails. They offer to put up works costing $1,500,000 with an annual ca- pacity of at least 40,000 tons of rails, pro- vided the Government will (1) contract to take 200,000 tons of rails within six years; (2) admit plant, etc., free ot duty; and (3) put a duty of $17 per ton on rails for ten years. Thirdly, to operate the Intercolonial Railway with its extensions. The syndicate, it would appear, does not propose to purchase the In- tercolonial by the payment of anything cash down. They would cperate the road and its extensions, and the profits would be divided between the company and the Government. The company would also expect subsidies to aid in the extensions of the present road. ES — al Niemen Sensational Rumors DENIED BY LIEUT.-GOVERNOR DEWDNEY— THE NORTH-WEST MURDERS EXPLAINED. The following telegram from Lieut. -Gov- ernor Dewdney was published in the Win- nipeg Sun: “‘The recent murders have given rise to many sensational reports, for which there is no foundation. Our _half- breeds in Montana are anxious to return, and are asking by petition through their friends at Batoche to be relieved from pay- ing duty on their outfits when returning. Our Indians are quiet and have given the police every assistance in helping to trace the murderers. A few discontented _half- breeds have no doubt been amongst our Indians, trying to incite them, but with no success. We have every spring been sub- jected to this. The four murders are ex- plained as follows: Smith was killed and robbed by Indian boys about seventeen years old, one of whom had been working for him and knew where his money was. McLeish was killed while endeavoring to arrest a horse thief. He acted boldly, but rashly. Pool was not murdered by _half- St. Joseph’s Convent, Pownal Street, was held on Tuesday last.

Gallant, Joseph McLean, Edward Roche, Esq., Provincial Librarian, aud Professor Caven. The English, Geometry, and Arithmetic classes were examined by Mr. Roche and Prof. Caven. The pupils acquitted them- selves in a manner highly creditable to all concerned. The classes in Map-drawing showed particular aptitude. Instead of having the pupils show specimens of their work, as is generally done, the pupils here were sent to the black-board to show how the wor:. was done, and as one after an- other drew outlines, located mountains, rivers, and towns, all present were loud in their expressions of praise. Prof. Caven, while complimenting teachers and pupils on the high standard which the schoo] has attained, expressed his regret that the ex- amination was not open to the public. — te Supreme Court—Prince County.

Some time ago Wilson’s store was discovered to be on fire, one night about 10 o’clock. The flames were soon extinguished, but about 2 a. m. the fire broke out again, ina packing case up- stairs.

If McLean was killed by Indians it was on account of his taking wood from a reserve, about which he had been continually cautioned by an Indian chief.” pooneneiceeieiititsiaiatleaaniMaaiii sii Alsace- Lorraine. A Berlin despatch says that the Govern- ment aims to secure during the present ses- sion the passage of the law regulating the administration of Alsace-Lorraine. All parties in the Reichstag, except the pro- testors, concur in acknowledging the ne- cessity of granting the Government extend- ed powers of administration in the Reichs- land, besides the law reorganizing the municival department. The Bundesrath coincides in the project authorizing the Emperor by a simple decree to enforce in the Reichsland the laws which apply to all Germany. Another Germanizing measure is contemplated by the Government. Thoroughness in extirpating the French element is more than ever the order of the day. Prince Von Hohenlohe, speaking at a reunion of the Forest Guards held at Kayserberg, referred to them as special representatives of the German idea in Alsace-Lorraine, and said they merited special protection, because they were iso- lated in the midst of a population which was little in sympathy with them. They propagated the German idea and maintain- ed the German honor. > oe —iC— The Pope's Influence. Cardinal Gibbons addressed a large congre- gation atthe Cathedral, Baltimore, on the 12th. Among other things he said that the Pope exercises greater influence over the civi-| lized world than any other ruler on earth. His words were more conducive to peace than all the standing armies of Europe. He not only enjoys the love and veneration of 250,- 000,000 Catholics, but he commands the respect of the separated brethren who cannot fail to recognize his many personal virtues and his broad statesmanlike views. The Pope, he says, thinks a great deal of the United States, and takes every opportunity to let Americans know it. Speaking of the labor question, Cardinal Gibbons said that after careful ob- servation in England, Ireland, Scotland and Holland, he came to the conclusion that, whatever may be the grievances of the Ameri- can laborer, he is better clothed, better fed, housed, and has fairer prospects than the laborer of any other country he visited. He condemned the work of the anarchists and nihilists. -—-<—-o———— — - Tue following notice appeared in the Bos- ton Globe of October 27th, 1886, one week after she closed her engagement in that city a compliment rarely passed upon any actress : ** Miss Claire Scott, whose engagement last week was marked by a succession of very large audiences, is one of the most widely known actresses of the day both in England and in this country.
