THE DAILY EXAMINER/ JULY 9, 1888. Editorial Notes. During last month over four hundrel immigrants were accommodated with em- ployment in Winnipeg. The presidential campaign in the United States is now in progress and the usual number of slanders are in circulation. Elisworth is another delightful spot in the glorious climate of Wisconsin. They had show there on the morning of the 26th ult ! An Ottawa despatch says that a num- ber of suits arising out of the expropriation of land for the Cape Breton railway have been entered in the kxchequer Court. It is said that the annual manufacture of flour in the United States is about 75,- 000,000 barrels, of which about 62,000,000 barrels are for domestic consumption, the remainder being exported. British House of Commons a a resolution favoring the paying of salaries to members was defeated ona vote of 192 w 135. Mr. Gladstone was among those who voted in favor of the resolution. In the few evenings age, —Statistics show that since the opening of navigation upwards of 500,000 bushels of wheat have beer received at Port Arthur for shipment. The quantity still in the hands of farmers is estimated at about 1,000,000 bushels. —General Neal Dow, does not think much of the temperance resolution passed at the recent Republican Convention in Chicago. He says it is a pure case of sham and hypocrisy. Neal is evidently more far- seeing than some other temperance men that we know of. — The case of Reid vs. the City of Char- luttetown is the subject of universal com- ment. This is the second time that the city has been mulcted in heavy damages owing to the carelessness or stupidity of its officiais. First Griffith, next Reid, and evidently the end is not yet. — The Island horse trade promises to be very extensive this year. Although the season is yet young a large number of fine animals have been shipped, the greater number of which have been forwarded to the American market, but many have been bought up in New Brunswick. The prices paid are fairly large. — The stamp vendor's apartment in the Post Office corridor is still tenantless; and the notice that *‘ stamps can be had at the registry wicket from 8.15 a. in., to 6 p. m.” is still posted up in front of the wicket. The pecple are complaining bitterly about this mismanagement, yet there is no sign of any attempt at improvement being made. What's the reason ! —Tomah, Wis., must be a nice place to live in. Here is what a resident has to say about some of the advantages it possesses : ** We had a severe winter here. We have had very dry summers, everything being burned up. We did not raise a bushel of wheat this two years. We had a lot of cattle we sold off. There has not been half a crop of hay. It has went the same with everybody.” And the half has not been told ! — The Garden of Eden has been again located. This time it is in Central America. It is Madame Alice la Plongeun, wife of an eminent French scientist, who has shifted the terrestrial paradise from Central Asia, and she claims to be in possession of sufli- cient evidence to make her assertion good. She alleges that she has unearthed writings in which the whole of the early history of mankind is fully detailed, and that these written testimonials establish the fact that the continents of Europe and America were in pre-historic times, united by a belt of land, which has since become submerged beneath the billows of the Atlantic. — The Chicago Inter-Ocean, in speaking of the tariff and the commercial situation in the United States says: ** Uncertainties regarding the action of Congress are quite generally noted as a cause of dullness in trade.” Commeuting upon this statement the Empire says: ** That is the natural re- sult even of such merely temporary un- certainty. For ten years the Grits have persistently done their very utmost to keep Canada in such a state of fiscal uncertainty. And then they falsely attribute to the National Policy the fact that our commer- cial and industrial progress is not even more rapid than it has been. They have deliberately tried to cause dulness of trade and now they clamor because the N. P. has not had the further success that it would have had, were it not thus impeded.” _ — The Austrian Ministerof Agriculture has issued a report of the work done by his de- partment during the six years ending with 1886, of which we may give the following summary :— The interest of the publication centres in the description of the system of State-aided agricultural education existing in Austria. In 1586 there were 81 Schools of Agriculture and Forestry, containing 2,572 pupils; about 20 Winter and Preparatory schools ; and 565 Im- rovement schools, teaching 15,000 pupils ‘fhe last are intended for the sons of small farmers who cannot attend the other institu- tions. They have gardens attached to them for instruction in botany and other subjects. Up to 1886 the schools—exclusive of the last class, it appears—had eost £922,535 for establishment and maintenance, of which the State finds £249,102. In further aid of agricultural education travelling lecturers are paid by the Ministry of Agricviture, and 887 agricultural libraries have been established or assisted by the same State Department. Breeding, land improvement, and other branches of agricultural development are also assisted by State funds. The outlay on agri- culture, mining, and woods and forests is over a million « year ; but a good deal of this is re- couped by the sale of produce. The average net expenditure of the Ministry of Agricul- ture since 1831 has been £331,293 per annum. It will be seen what great importance Austria attsches to agricultural education. MzasLes —Says the Amherst Gazette: The greatest epidemic we have had at Amherst for many years is that of measles. In many cases whole families ot six or seven are suffering from them, and many persons who have reached middie age without contracting the disease are now prostrated with it. There have been several fatalities among children, and a large number are seriously threatened — bronchial difficulties which attend the Retraction and Apology. Tue following is the full text of the re- traction and apology filed in Court by the Island Guardian Company in the libel suit brought against them by R. R. Fitzgerald, Esq., Stipendiary Magistrate — withheld from publication during the illness of its late editor : LN THE SuPREME CouRT: Rowan R. Fitzgerald, Plaintiff, and the Island Guardian Publishing Company, De- fendant.—It is agreed that this suit be settled as follows :—-The Defendant Company will publish in the editorial columns of the next issue of the Island Guardian the following withdrawal of the libel complained of :— Correction—In the issue of the Jsland Guar- dian of Nov. 12th,1887,there appeared a letter sigued, ‘* No Surrender,” in which a number of charges were made against the Stipendiary Magistrate, R. R. Fitzgerald, Esq., reflecting upon his conduct as Magistrate in Scott Act cases brought before him, and in the subse- quent proceedings for the arrest of those coa- victed. ‘lhis letter was published without the knowledge or sanction of the Board, and as he directors were entirely ignorant of the : ubject matter of the letter, they left it in the hanas of the then Editor, who for some tirne past has been too ill to be communicated with. Since then the Board has investigated as to the truth of these charges, and finding them without any foundution, they desire publicly, in the columns of the paper where the letter was publishe!, to make the amende honorable to Mr. Fitzgerald and declare that they be- lieve the charges were without any founda- tion, and to express the regret of Board that they should have been published in their paper; at the same time it is but just to the late Editor to add that the Directors believe he was misled by written information sub- mitted to him before publication ot the letter in question. The plaintiff waives his claim tv c.imayes and the defendant Company agree to pay the plaintiff's costs to be taxed, including such fees of Counsel as may be taxable. (Sgd) Cuas. PALMER, of Counsel for defendant. (Sgd) L. H. Davies, of Counsei for plaintiff. 28th June, 1888. Is He An Islander? Tue Bangor, Me., Whig, of the 6th, learns of a terrible affair which occurred on Monday or Tuesday in Elliotsville, Piscata- quis county, by which a man from Prince Edward Island, named Kinney, a boss of steam drilling on a section of the Canadian Pacific railroad, lost his life by being shot through the head with a rifle ball by some person unknown, but suspicion points strongly in the direction of a young man well known in the vicinity, but whose name is withheld on account of his family, until further developments point, more directly to him or relieve him from the terrible sus- picion which now attaches to him. From the various sources from which in- formation could be obtained the Whig learns the following particulars regarding the sad affair: Kinney, who, as stated before, was a boss in charge of a steam drill on the Can- adian Pacific Railroad, m the vicinity of Elliotsville, had not drawn any of his pay for a long time, up to a few days ago, when he was paid off with a sum amounting to nearly $600. Monday he went over to Monson, where he met the young man re- ferred to and went with him to his camp, which he had on the borders of a pond in Elliotsville, and where he lived most of the time. Being at work on the night job, and not coming to work Monday or Tuesday night, the crew at work with Kinny set out on a search for him and it resulted in find- ing his body in the water in a clump of alder bushes, with a bullet hole through his head and another through the shoulder. The young man whwo was with him came back to Monson Tuesday, and coming to Monson Junction purchased a ticket to Bangor, but instead of coming through left the train at Guilford with the expressed intention of taking the stage to Dexter, and to go from there to Boston by rail. Yester- day Cvroner Poole and County At- orney Parsens, of Dover, went up to hold an examination, but we have, as yet, heard nothing of the result, and we understand that steps have been taken for the apprehension of the suspected man. Of the latter we can only say at present that he belongs to a family of high position and held in the greatest esteem, and that he has been for years what may be called czanky, if not actually insane, and that at times his condition has been such that it has been seriously con- sidered whether he had not better be placed in the insane asylum. He has been living upon an allowance made by his friends, and from what he earned by working as a guide and in other ways, he seeming to prefer to live in the woods rather than elsewhere. It is a terrible affair in every aspect, and it is to be hoped the true history of it may be brought to light, but we have given all that is known regarding it at present, with the exception of the name of the party sus- pected, which we for the present withhold for the reasons already given, and in the hope that it may prove that the suspicions are unfounded. >i <i ———-— Boston Markets. From the official market report of the Boston Chamber of Commerce, dated July 5, we extract the following :— Porators.—Receipts of new southern were light at theclose of last week, and good tochvice Rose and Hebrons svld readily at $3.25 to 3.75 per. bbl., but on Monday there wasa full supply and the market settled down to $2.50 to 3.00, the latter the top for extra marks. Since then the market has been steady for choice but a good many small and poorly assorted lots have been worked off at $2.00 to 2.25. Red stock has been very dull at $2.00 to 2.25. Eeos.—Receipts for the week 42 boxes, 22 bbls., 8,862 cases; last week 11 boxes 28 bbls., 10,374 cases. There has been a very good demand this week and at the close Tuesday, the market was well cleaned up. This morning the tone is firm with light offerings. Strictly extra Eastern con- tinue scarce and sell promptly at 18c. P. E. Island N.S. and N. B. choice marks selling well at 17}c, with other Western selling generally at 17c. P'isu.—Receipts of codfish are light and prices area little firmer. Mackerel are selling wellon arrival and the market is steady under fair supplies _>-.

(j—m4 ‘THE DAILY EXAMINER, - ~~ ~~ a O’Donnell- “ Times” Libel Suit DECIDED IN FAVOR OF THE DEFENCE—PAR- NELL AND M’CARTHY EXPLAIN—COMMENTS OF THE PRESS. A verdict for the defendant has been te- turned inthe case of the suit of Frank Hugh O'Donnell against the Londo Times for damages for libel. It is said that the Parnellites now denounce O'Donnell for the course he has pursued in the action against the Times. They strongly suspect that Tynan, the man known as *‘Number One,” is the person from whom the Times got its information concerning the League. Attorney-General Webster, in the course of the trial, said the defence intended to prove the genuineness of the documents published in the T'imes, but they would not reveal who disclosed them, even thoug) such action should result in a verdict fot the plaintiff. Hethen read letters with the view of showing that the league inati- gated the Phoenix Park murders. Among the letters was one from Mr. Egan, u Paris, while he was treasurer of the league, dated February, 1881, in which he said :— ‘*Mr. Parnell is here. 1 have spoken to He has no objection. We have agreed that prompt action is called for.” After- ward Mr, Egan wrote:—‘* Mr. Parnell accepts the offer made by B.” Next was a letter dated October, 1881, written by Mr. Egan in Paris to James Carey in Dublin, after Mr. Parnell’s arrest. He said : ‘“‘T have by post sent to M. (meaning Mul. let, who was afterwards sentenced to pena. servitude for connection with the Phonix Park murders) £200. He will give you what you want. When will you undertake to get the work done. Give us value for our money.” The reading of this caused a sensation in the court. Letters were then produced which showed that Mr. Egan supported Carey from his seat in the municipal counc.l of Dublin. Also a note alleged to be & Mr. Parnell’s handwriting, and smuggled from Kilmainham, addressed to Mr. Egan, saying :— ‘* What are these fellows waiting for? In- action is inexpedient. Our best’ men are in prison. Nothing has been done. End this hesitancy.” On the re-assembling of the House of Commons on the 6th, Parnell made an ex- planation concerning certain statements made in connection with the suit. He said the upshot of the trial prevented his testi- fying, therefore he would tender a state- ment to the House. He denied that he ever saw Patrick Egan’s letter of February 24th, 1881, read at the trial with a view to showing that the League instigated the Phoenix Park murder. He was convinced it was a forgery. With regard. to his letter dated simply ‘‘ Tuesday,” say- ing, ** I see no objection to your giving the amount asked for; there isn’t the least ‘likelihood of what you apprehend happening.” Parnell said it might be gen- uine but he could not recollect it. Ag to Egan’s letter of October 25th, 1881, to Carey saying, ‘* Sent £200; when you get to work give us value for our money,” and which Attorney Gereoral Websier stated the pvlice found in Carey’s house, Parnell said that doubtless letters from Egan were found there, but Egan had sent a cablegram denying the authorship of the letters attri- buted to him. Parnell denied as an abso- lute forgery the letter alleged to have been written by him, which it was claimed was smuggled from Kilmainham jail, to Egan, urging him to immediate action and to ‘* make it hot for old Forster.” He never wrote, signed, saw or authorized the com- munication. Parnell reiterated the asser- tion that he never authorized a letter dated May 15th, 1882, which bore what was al- leged to be his signature, and which was published a year ago. He said he had not used a signature similar to the one attached to this letter since 1879. He had then adopted a different style of signature (*‘ohs” from ministerial benches). The letter of June 16th, 1882, was also a forgery. The Byrne letter was doubtless genuine, but he never sent Byrne any money, though he had subscribed a small amount to a Byrne testimonial. ‘* The great majority of the letters read at the trial are palpable forger- ies. If they are credited it must be sup- posed I deliberately put myself in the power of a murderer, that I was accessory to the Phoenix Park murders before and after the fact, aud that I entered Kilmain- ham jail deliberately to assassinate Forster. The absurdity of the whole batch of letters, with a few exceptions, shows them to be forgeries.” Justin McCarthy followed Parnell with an explanation of the statement that he had given Byrne acheck for £100. He acknowledged he gave the check, but he said he had never suspected Byrne to be anything but a hard working servant of the societies devoted to winning home rule for Ireland. The Chronicle says thousands will ask, ‘* why does not Parnell prosecute the Times for libel?’ Proof of guilt would involve enormous damages, yet no action is taken. If the letters on which the charges are founded are forgeries, the forger should be brought to justice. The public mind will not be satisfied until the whole matter is thoroughly cleared up in a court of law. The Standard says it is not an ex parte statement of the falsity of the charges that the public demand. If Parnell shrinks he cannot wonder if the existing doubt changes in conviction of guilt. The Daily News says Parnell’s plain, frank words effectually dispose of the ab- surd charges made against him by dupes and partisans. The Morning Post says Parnell seems hardly to realize the position in which he and his friends are placed. His English allies would have preferred he had taken the usual! steps to defend his character in a court of law. For over a year he has re- sisted repeatedly to enter the witness box aud he and his friends cannotYreasonably complain if the public rightly or wrongly draws its own conclusions. _ The Times says the verdict is so clearly in accordance with the principle of justice and the facts before the court that it would be inappropriate to treat it as furnishing reasons for emulation. The conductors of the Times owe a debt of gratitude to the counsel for the defence, especially to Sir R. E. Webster for the manner in which the case was presented. The fost says if an investigation is not demanded even the English allies of the Parnellites will share the ugly suspicion that the Irish party is guilty of the charges made against them; The News trdaty the arguments > him about a further advance tothe A fuud.| yresented by the Times’ counsel as clap- rap, and says it is astonished at the pro- ound eccentric gullibility displayed by the yourt. It expresses the hope thst it has neard the last of the miserable fanaticism. _-_—se- + What They Say at Camp Brighton. That the weather is all that could be desired for camping out and for drill.
