Dairy EXAMINER, THE JANUARY 25, 1879. Choo HHbE — THE WEEK. In this city, the Supreme Court has been the only object of interest during the week. Indeed, as an old gentleman remarked this forenoon, ‘if it were not for the Supreme Court there would be little to put in the Dairy Examiner.” The North River series of trials—apart from the murder case —lends an unwonted importance to the sit- ting. They afford curious and interesting— though not pleasing —material for the com- mentatur upon passing events. But the cases have not vet ail been disposed of, and we forbear, lest it should be said that the Examimer prejudiced any of those impli- ‘Let justice be done without cated. prejudice.” The Argus of Tuesday last hopes that ‘¢Tywe Examiner does not speak with au- thority” on the subject of the Fishery Award. Our perturbed contemporary may rest assured that we have the same anthor- ity for the expressions of Tue Examiner about the proper disposal of the Island's share of the Fishery Award, that we have for its expressions upon any other t»pic—the authority of Kicur as inter- preted by Common Sense. If the opinions of the Examiner be not in accordance with these, they should fall to the ground. Now, we think the money will be legitimately, pro,ecly and wisely expended in af- fo-ding additional faciiities and = ac- conmodation for our fishermen. The Dominion Government has the charge and care of the fisheries. Therefore, if the money be so expended, it must be expended by the Dominion Government, under the supervision of the Minister of Marine and Fisheries. It was by means of the Do- minion Government that the award was ob tained. Therefore, the Dominion Govern- ment is entitled to the advantage of expending it. This is our contention., But the Argus says let the money be funded ; and let the Provincial Government an- nually draw the interest. This is a more reasonable proposition than that of the Patriot, which is simply ridiculous, and we should be extremely happy if, by some such political sleight of hand, the Province could rightfully obtain ‘* Better Terms” to the extent of a million or two of dollars. But remembering that that good minand great financier, the Hon. David Liird, declared the terms he obtained would enable the Province to do without addition- al taxation for twenty years; remembering that Better Terms to the extent of twenty- five thousand dollars a year were obtained by Messrs. Pope, Haviland and Howlan; and knowing that, after all, the present Provincial Government have imposed direct taxation to the amount of $35,000 a year,— we think the people of this Province will piuse ere they ask that our share of the Fishery Award be diverted from the bene- ficial purposes to which it should be legiti- mately applied and handed over to the Lo- eal Government. The Local Government have preved unfaithful to the charge they have received. Therefore, says the Argus, give them charge of the interest accruing Atlantic = = _ —< ao Government has. subsidized the Provinces, the petty el- fishness of this announcement of the Islanders’ intention to play the ‘grab’ game is anything but creditable. That they will get their tair share of expenditure in public works, and that the value of their fisheries will be taken into account in the construc- ‘ion of public works is always certain, bat to come down with the absolate demand for the bigyest half of the $5,599,099. is too sreedy altogether, and is sire to meet with disappointment. ” tral — —-—— + = eae Turcotte vz. Turncoat. Ar the last general election in the Prov- ince of Quebee, Mr. Turcotte was the Con- servative candidate for Three Rivers. The Liberal party were so weak in that con stituency that no attempt was made to put a candidate in the field. Rumors that Mr. Turcotte would support the Liberals were circulated, and at last came to the ears of Mr. ‘urcotte himself. Knowing that the con- stituency was strongly Conservative, he at once wrote a note to the papers, publicly denying that he had any leanings towards the opposite party, and he emphatically declared his allegiance tu the Conservative Party. On the strength of this puvlic de- claration he was elected without Opposition. But the result of the elections gave Mr. furcotte the casting vote, and he put him- self in the market to be knocked down to che highest bidder. The Liberal Premier (Myr. July) offered him the Speakership, and Mr. ‘lurcutte at once accepted, deserted his Party, deceived his consti:uency, and the Government of Quebee depend for sup- port upon his casting vote in the House oi Assembly of that Province. Tiis is the man whom the uériot coumends in tie highest ters. Jt is alabvor of love with our contemporary to praise political treach- ery. Do we not see the only Grit Govern- ment now in existeuce holding office ayainst the well understoud wishes of the people. Tie existence of che Ontario Legislawure is prolonged by a legal quibble, unsupported either by equity or justice. The Quebec Legislature is held by the Grits by keeping one of the constituencies open against ail cules of decency and justice ; aud in Prince dward Island the same Party retain power in direct opposition to the wishes of the After offering to co.ui:promise with their opponents, after all manner of schem- people. ing and) deception, raising false issues and false alarms, the Rump Givernmeni of Prince Edward Islind refuse to give up the Jovernment. Tie conduct of the Oniario Parliament is improper, and perhaps il- legal ; that of the Quebec legislative mi- jority is deceptive, and apparently treach- erous; but that of Davies, Stewart & Co. is mercenary and dishonorable in the ex treme. —_— ——--o > Cascumpec Harbor. Tuz Pioneer says: ‘* The first and most important question to be considered is the improvement of our harbor. This has cer tainly been agitated over and over again ny petition, by our representatives and by he press ; but we are by no meaus disposed to give up because our foriner entreaties and prayers have been disregarded. Our claim is good, and it is little short of a dis grace to the Dominion Government not to nave the public work in question attended te on principles of common humanity, alto- yether apart from local requirements. very effort by petition and agitation strengthens the hands of our representa- tives when the question comes up for dis- cussion ; and the writer, for one, does nut intend to let the matter rest, even if our petitions could be counted by the dozen and every one had been without effect. The work has to be attended to, sure, and the more persi.tently we set forth our ‘laims, the sooner it will be taken in hand. * * * * Taking all cirenmstances into consideration, it is no wonder that the peo- people vf this district should feel (1s they do) that even handed justice has not been dealt out to them with respect to the im- provement of their harbor. We therefore trust that a meeting will, without delay, be called to discuss the subject, and that a petition will be got up ready to be put into the hands of our Dominion representatives.” from a million or a million and a half dol- lars more! But, says the Argus, ‘let! the money be funded.” Certain- | ly. Let the money be funded in per- | manent improvements to the harbors on) the North Side—to Caseumpec, to Mal- | peque, to New London, to Rustico. Let it be funded in branch lines of railway to) facilitate the transmission of fish and other | produce to market, and it will be funded in a way that will yield iuterest in a tan-| gible form to the particular localities nimed, to the whole Province, and to the country at large. | How the people of the Upper Provinces , will regard the snggestion of the Patriot, | may be inferred by the following paragraph, | which we clip from the Ottawa Herald, a’ Grit journal :-— “This is a pretty cool proposition to | The Fees of Fishery Counsel.

It was stated at the time that the gentlemen who were re- month for services, besides a handsome re- taining fee. It is not unlikely that some of these gentlemen will press for a further payrment of their services, a demand which will be met with judicial calmness and cov criticism. Public opinion might be satistied that justice had been done at one thousand dollars per month to the legal gentlemen sume of whom did avuthing and said less, and one of whom had to be prevented from | speaking.

Verdict ‘* Guilty.” ERR Ro 8 SEA Rae tag The story told by Paul Ostrich to the authorities at Castle Garden, New York, was calculated to excite the deepest syin- pathy. He was sixty-six years of age, and lived in Hangary. The agents of a steam- boat line found him and persuaded him to go to the United States, where money was very plentiful, and where it could be had by werely visiting the place. He bronglit with him $599. When he landed he dis- covered his error. But he went ont to Washington Territory, hired a piece of land, and began to farm it. He lost all his croup owing to the scarcity of rain, and on the 10th of September last he returned to San Francisco without means. Tae Ger- wan Society then paid his way to Omaha, and gave hun a letter to the railroad offi- cialis east of Omaha, to which they paid no attention. Then the old man started on his long walk of 1430 miles to New York,where he arrived on Christmas eve, his journey from Omaha having taken sixty-nine days. The German Society had given him eight dollars, and with this he paid for his provi- ‘sions, pork and bread, which composed his \daily food. Oceasionally he picked up a few apples.
