And _ weli they may. —The Guardian has an article three col- umns long in explanation of its latest at- tack upon THe Examiner. By this article it appears that the Guardian is not more anxious to promote the cause of Temperance than it is to ‘‘down its compett- tors.’ The essential difference between the Guardian and Tue Examiner lies in the fact that the Guardian is content with a Temperance law which is, admittedly, being daily violated to the advancement of drunk- enness and perjury,—and THe EXAMINER is not content. It is not necessary for THE EXAMINER to discuss the point. —The annual report of the Marine Department of Canadian shipping is out. There are ‘7,153 ships registered, an increase during the year of eleven vessels; but a decrease in tonnage of 49,161. The value of the total tonnage is estimated at $31,- 213,000. Of 10,469 steamships registered {n the world, 5,934 sail under the British flag. There are 12,053 British sailing ves- sels out of 37,955 in all the world. The total tonnage of the world is 18,917,000, of which the British have 8,735,000. Of the four principal Provinces, Nova Scotia has 2,855 vessels and 91 steamers, Quebet 1,- 455 and 304, Ontario 1,355 and 689, and self a ‘*Canadian Liberal,” propounds a policy whereby the Dominion Opposition may get into office, His ideas are, says the Empire, indeed “Liberal.” He is op- posed to any definite ‘‘ policy,” because that leads to attacks by the party in power, who thus get on the offensive, instead of the defensive. His opinion seems, in short, to be that « government makes ° enemies enough as time goes on tc overthrow it if just let alone, and that ‘‘ everyone should be got under the umbrella that has any ground of complaint against the party that has been so long in power.”” This writer's proposition suggests a good many things. He appears to think that the sole duty of an Opposi‘ion is to get into office. That is the animating principle with a majority of the sections now reposing under the um- brella, and it is one of the very strong reasons why they never secure the confi- dence of a majority of the people. —*‘Alcohol and Childhood” are words that suggest an ominous association, but we do not know that a movement on foot in Eng- land for the inculcation of abstinence amongst the rising generation in its early stages could be moretersely or suggestively expressed. Of its supreme importance there can be no question. ‘As the twig is bent the tree 's inclined.” The influences of early culture in almost every condition of life are manifest in the after-growth unless they are overpowered by vicious surroundings which destroy the moral sense. The object of the movement is to extend the band of hope movement as a means of checking the growth of intem- perance ; and, under the Church’s super- vision, to systematise the teaching of the bands of hope, and to make it uniform throughout the country. The sponsors of this movement are men occupying influen- tial positions and earnest in purpose, and much may be expected from this combina- tion of effort. —The latest issue of the Dominion IWustrated has some features of special in- terest to all Canadians. As usual, the honors are’ divided—east and west and centre being all represented, either by portraits or by scenery. Of the former there are four—Lieut.-Governor Daly, of Nova Scotia, son of the late Sir Dominick Daly, and late Deputy Speaker of the House of Commons ; the Rev. Arthur J. Lockhart, the poet and essayist ; the late R,. Hay, Esq., of Toronto, and Rev. C. J. 5. Bethune, Head Master of Trinity Col- lege School, Port Hope. Of this last institution there are some handsome _ illus- trations. The aborigines of Canada are exemplified by three distinct types—the Ojibway of Lake Superior, the Haidas, of Queen Charlotte Islands, and the Salish of Southern British Columbia. The bounti- fulness of the Lake St. John region is set forth by two typical views—one showing a fine wheat field at St. Felicien. Nia brightened and the prosperity of our country | John, N.

The arrangements for Canada’s Int - national Exhibition, to be held at St. John from 24th to October 4th, are making good progress, With the large additions that have been made to the grounds and buildings, much more accommodation is afforded than has ever before been afforded in the Maritime Provinces, but from the large number of entries now coming in, it is evident that even the increased space will be filled to overflowing. The Exhibition proper promises to be oe eee but with the array of ial a ons that are being a for, the public will be well ee ae SIR JOHN'S VISIT. His Arrival Last Hivening Addresses By the Liberal- Conservative Association and the City Council. Loup, via Point du Chene and Summerside, last evening by special train. Sir John's Private Secretary, Joseph Pope, Esq., also arrived last evening. The veteran Premier looks remarkably well——the picture of good health. Judging by appearances both Sir the station when the special arrived, and hearty cheers were given for Sir John and Lady Macdonald as they stepped into the carriage which was in waiting to convey them to Mr. Hodgson’s residence. OF THE LIBERAL-CONSERVATIVE ASSOCIATION. The address of the Liberal-Conservative Association was presented to Sir John at the residence of Edward J. Hodgson, Esq., Q. C., at noon to-day Besides W. EK. Dawson, Esq., President of the Association, who read the address, and A. A. McLean, Esq.. Secretary, there were present Hon. Neil McLeod, Premier and Attorney General, Hon. Donald Ferguson, Provincial Secretary and Commissioner of Crown and Public Lands, Hon, Senator Howlan, Patrick Blake, Esq., Speaker House of Assembly, John Ings, Esq., Fenton 7 Newbery, Esq., and George Peake, Esq. The address reads as follows :— To the Right Honorable Sir John A, Mac- donald, P. C., G. C. B., Premier of Canada : Srr,—As President of the Liberal-Conser- vative Association of Queen’s County, and in their behalf, I heartily welcome you and Lady Macdonald to our Island home. The last time you visited our Province, about twenty years ago, you came to us suf- ADDRESS your wonted vigor. and you left our Province perfectly restored. Your elastic step and robust appearance, we are glad to observe, indicates no lack of health and strength, and we hope that you may be long spared to lead Cuneta to the prosperity which nature and ber vast resources designed her to attain. At the time of your former visit you found our Island an_ inde- pendent colony of the British Crown; now, we are proud to form a part of the Dominion of Canada, a country of larger territorial area than the United States of America, and the fourth country of the world in the tonnage of her mercantile marine. At your former visit no railway existed in this Province, and the greater number of our farmers were discontented tenants. Now a railway system stretches along almost the whole“length of our Island, and our farmers, freed from the proprietory yoke, enjoy the privilege of owning their own farms. Since your visit Canada, under your able and patriotic leadership, has made rapid strides in national development. The Canada Pacific Railway, that great work, penne the Continent and counecting the Pacific an Atlantic Oceans, was begun and completed in so short « time as to elicit the wonder and admiration of the civilized world. I congratulate you not only on the material progress made by Canada under your leader- ship, but also on the fact that at the present time peace, contentment and prosperity reign throughout the Dominion. I have the honor to be Your most obedient servant, W. E. Dawson, President Liberal-Conservative Association of Queen’s County. Ch’town, P. E. Island, 8th August, 1890, Sir John was very happy in his reply. After returning thanks for the address, he spoke of the pleasure it gave him to be once more privileged to visit the Island, and renew old acquaintances and make new friends. So far as he had seen the country he was charmed with its appearance, and was more than pleased at the great progress made since his last visit. He regretted that other engagements prevented his visit- ing the Province for the past twenty years, but he had eagerly embraced the oppor- tunitywhen it presented itself. . THE ADDRESS OF THE CITY COUNCIL. A large number of ladies and gentlemen were present this afternoon in the Legisla- tive Council Chamber, where His Worship the Mayor read the following address :— To the Right Honorable Sir John A. M acdonald, P. GC. 6. G &, We, the Mayor and Common Councilmen of the City of Charlottetown, on behalf of the citizens, extend to you, the Premier of the Dominion, « most hearty greeting, Weare reminded that this is your second visit to this Province. An interval of twenty years has elapsed since first we bade you welcome; an interval, however, during which the lustre of your statesmanship has been your illustrious career is now one of the chief glories of our people. During your public life, many questions of great legislative and administrative import- ance have been presented for solution, and in their settlement your patriotism and personal influence have been clearly discernable. In the providence of God, we trust that many years of usefulness are yet in store for you, and that in your lifetime you may have the Saeco of seeing this segment of Britain the brightest portion of the imperial circle. We hope that your visit to this Province, now that she is robed in her loveliest attire, may be a — one, and to you and Lady Macdonald we gladly extend a second wel- come. T. H, Havinanp, R. R. FirzGerap, Mayor. Recorder, JAMES BYRNE, JAmMeEs Eben, Henry C. Dovsz, Francis P. McCarron, Sir John, in reply, expressed his 0st | rateful thanks for the address. It was, c said, one of the consolations of a public man to learn that his efforts have been suc- cessful, and are appreciated. He referred to the evident progress of Charlottetown since the time that he first visited it. This was brought home to him, not only by the evidence of his senses, but by the remark of a gentleman of the Opposition whom he met this forenoon, and who said: “ Yes, Sir John, we have progressed —notwith- standing the N. P.” It gratified him to have evidence from such a quarter of the prosperity of the town. The heart of every the continent and see the great country comprised within the borders of Canada. He looked forward with very great interest to the results of the harvest of the North- west concerning which there have been many favorable reports. it is anticipated mate should prove to be correct,—what an impulse, what a prestige, the fact will give to this country, particularly when it 1s re- membered that the population of the North- west is as yet small. Our country seems to possess advantages not possessed by other portions of the globe. Even in respect to the ata:ospheric influences, Canada seems lu possess advantages; the prosperity of the West is our prosperity. When he was here twenty years ago he had found many acquaintances and made some friends, and though many had passed to their rest in the interval it was pleasing to meet again those who remained. Sir John concluded by thanking the Council for their kindly reference to Lady Macdon- ald whose presence here is, he said, a proof that she appreciates the attractions of this city and Province. The members of the Council were then presented to Sir John and Lady Macdonald. An address by the Caledonian Club will be presented to Sir John at the residence of Mr. E. J. Hodgson, at half-past ten o’clock to-morrow. Sir John and Lady Macdonald will dine at Government House to-morrow evening Sir John visited;Queen Square Gardens, the market, and other parts in the city this GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY !
