THE nr A TY Ty TdAk DAILY OCTOBER 23, L891. A Significant Fact Admitted. | We clip from the Patriot the following letter : Sir,—In a recent issue of your psper | you gave currency to a report to the effsct | ‘that Mr. Nicholson, senior, attempted act} one time to get Mr. D. J. McLeod disuniss- | ed from the College,” which report is false in every particular. So far from attempt- ing to do any such contemptible deed, con temptible if attempted for political reasons, I never even thought of doing 80; and, as 3 matter of fact, he owed his appointment to the exertions of myself and my colleague | (Mr. Crawford) at the time, in his behalf, though I was well aware of his Grit pro- clivities. He has repaid my kindness after the manner of the snake in .2sop’s fables. Yours truly, James NICHOLSON. Eldon, Oct. 20 1891. Our contemporary professes to be **glad” concerning this letter. Yet the simpe fact stated in it, and accepted as true, is a strong proof of the utter fallacy of the Patriot's that the late Con- servative actuated by partisan motives in respect to educationel matters. A man known to have Grit pro- clivities was recommended by the Conser- vative representatives of Belfast, and ap- poiated and retained in office by the Con- servative administration ! Surely the Patriot, admitting this fact, wiil not any longer contend that the late Government acted invariably upon the principle ‘‘To the victors belong the spoils.” In the light his statement to Patriot, we cannot wonder that Mr. Nich- olsun feels very strongly the injustice and inhumanity exhibited in the dismissal of his son and the appointment to his position of Mr. D. J. McLaod. After exerting him- self to appoint Mr. McLeod and keep him in office, he sees this same Mr. McLeod take his son’s place as Superintendent of Education —not because his son is incom- petent and Mr. McLeod competent, but simply and only because his son is his son and Mr. McLecd isa grit. Mr. Nicholson would be more than human if he could bear complacently such a reward of his good offices in Mr. McLeod’s behalf —particular- ly when he knows that his son was per- mitted by the Government to take upon himself the increased expenses and respon- sibilities of married life on the supposition that his position as Superintendent of Education was dependent only upon his ability and his good behavour. contention Government was of the map EXAMINER. | : DAILY ee anne Dismissal of Mr. Bell, Mr. Bett, manager of the Government Stock Farm, has been dismissed at & Mr. Bell was an excellent farmer and a good’ judge of stock. He selected and obtained Brown Stout, Chal- lenger and other fiue animals which have been the means of adding to the reputation of the Province and bringing a great deal of cash into it; and he was ever taithful to the Farm. we think Mr. Bell was fairly entitled to something more than a month’s notice. month’s notice.

The commercial metropolis of Canada has already subscribed $16,500 towards a monument to Sir John Macdonald, and expects to raise $40,000. Several of the individual subseriptions were $1,000, «nd many $590, $250 and $100. These are practical, tangible tokens of the apprecia- tion in which the work of the deceased statesman was held by the people of Moa- treal. It will take a whole world of post- mortem vituperation to overcome the force of the fact of Montreal's subscription in honor of the man who was Canada’s great- est friend. ——— Letter of Condolence.

Mr. McSwain.--—At the last annual meet- ing of this convention a committee Wasa pointed to consider what action oh taken respecting the editing of a History of Canada that would be used throughout all the Provinces of the Dominion of Can- ada. Here, as in the other Provyances, a committee was appointed to look after our interests in connection with this work. Our committee consisted of three péisens, who were appointed at our last meeting. When the committee met it was*agreed that I should act for them and conduct all the necessary correspondence in 1eference to the matter. A correspondence was, ac- cordingly, entered into with Mr. Patter- son, of Montres), who is very acuivg im the scheme. In the Iast letter whieh I re- ceived from him he asked if our Peuvince was willing to beara portion of the expense which would be incurred in egpnection with the preparation of the pres His- tory. As no appropriati¢ was made last session by our Legislature for that purpose, no atlirmative answer could be given. The result was that no further action has been taken by your Com- mittee concerning the matter, so far as | am aware. In fact, I do not know that it is necessary to do anything farther in reference to it. If a suitable text-book of Canadian History is prepared its pro- moters, we can avail ourselves of it. But it is probable that if such a text book is published, very little notice will be taken therein of this Province. I, therefore, move that our future Presideut, whoever he may be, act as a delegate for this Province. Mr. Seaman—Mr. McSwain has done his duty wel], and 1 move that he be re-ap- pointed as our representative to the Gen- eral Committee to deal with this matter. Resvlution moved by Mr, Seaman, put and carried unanimously. — Mr. McSwaia, from the committee ap: pointed to procure a library for the use o the association, reported that he had written tea number of publishers in the United States and Canada for the purpose of ascertaining their prices and the discounts they were willing to allow to teachers Their catulogues were received and examined by the committee who then made a selection of books, for- warding the amounts for them to the publishers. The total sum expended was $78.11. I submit a catalogue of the books sent for. (Said catalogue was laid on the table. ) Mr. N McLeod moved that the report of the Library Committee be adopted, and that the committee be reappointed. Motion seconded by Mr. Miller, and unanimously agreed to. NOMINATIONS. Mr. McSwain, from the committee on the nomination of efficers of the institute for the ensuing year, presented their report, recom- mending the appoiatment of the following _ for the positions named :— ' For President—John A.

Trade has decreased with San Francisco, which is now a com- peting port, not a market, while there is a ae 2 . large and rapidly growiug trade” with Eastern Canada. Speaking of external ielations the Minister observed that : “Years ago, before the bargain of Confed. eration was carried out, and the Canadian Pacific line was completed to the Pacific coast, there was undoubtedly, a feeling of unrest. I won't say there was snilthh of a 909,391.00 96,967.000 desire for annexation, for, with the exceptio of the few who may be found in soon. munity to favor a policy of that nature, we were always attached to British institutions: but whatever that feeling once was there is nothing of the kind now.

It is rumored in London that the Duke of Connaught will succeed Sir Frederick Roberts as commander-in-chief of the army of India. Little Queen Wilhelmina of Holland has an income of 600,000 guilders, or about $250,000. Her reign will begin August 13, 1898, when she will have attained the age of 18. Rev. C. M Tate, who has been engaged in mission work among the North-west Indians for upwards of twenty years, is in the city, the guest of Dr. R. Johnson. He has with him a number of Indian curiosities, such as chief's head-dress, medicine. man’s charm, whistles, rattles, gambling utensils, etc. These articles are verv rare, and aye well worth seeing. Several of them are jhow on exhibition at Johuson’s Drugstore. ~ The Transcript, Oct. 24, reports : George Smith, of Sussex, representing the Sussex nursery, died after a few hours’ illness at Montague, P. E. I1., on Sunday last. Heart disease is said to be the cause. His remains passed through Moncton to-day. The cry of nepotism is raised against Lord Salisbury because his’ sistet’s son, Mr. Balfour, is made leader ot the Conser- vatives in the English House of Commons. But Balfour, on his merits, deserved the position if he wanted it. Heis a man of force, alert, courageous, and ready with expedients. He will do what he thinks best—according to his own ideas—for the country. Since .Disraeli’s time the Cun- servatives have not had in England a bet- ter man for their needs than Balfour, One of the most interesting figures in the distinguished gathering at Trinity Church on Wednesday, when Bishop Brooks was consecrated, wus Hon. Robert C. Winthrop. There was in Mr. Win- throp’s appearance there an historical in- terest aside from that of a personal nature. He was probablythe oldest member of Trin- ity Church present on the occasion, Fifty- seven years ago he was first elected vestry- man in the church in which he had been christened and confirmed. ©His many friends will be glad tv know that Mr. Wintnrop has so improved in health as to be able to attend the consecration exer- cises. —_———— @ cae.
