NOTES AND COMMENTS, —The paltry reduction of one cent a gallon on oil,—what does that amount to? — United States Marshal Henry has re- ceived officia) notice from the department of justic+ at Washington thatthe bill of excep- exception filed by Thomas in the United States Supreme Court could not possibly be reeched by the court at this term. Hence the execution of Bram will not take place on June 18th, the date set by the court. It will probably be six months before a deci- sion ix reached. — While the Turkish navy far surpasses that of the Greeks in the number of its vessei*, they are mostly of smal! account, owing to the corruption of the Turkish officis s. Vast s3ms of money which are appropriated annually for the marine find their way to the coffers of the suttaa’s favorites, and, as a result, the 115 war- ships which fioat the Creent are a! most as dangerous to their friends as their enemies. The Greek fieet, on the other hand, numbers but forty-three warships, pearly thirty of which are torpedo boats. They are modern built ships, and while not of such great tonage, are efficiently manned and in thoroughly good condition. — —The Boston correspondent ef the St. Joln Sun reports that several influential Maine canzing firms are protesting againat the duty on canned lobsters proposed by the Dingley bill. The firme that find a high duty objectionable are the ones that have factories in the lower provinces, and which bring their goode to this mar- ket. Burnham & Morrill, of Portland recently sent a representatiye to Washington to see the Maine senators. They asked that the duty of 6 cents per hundred on cans, in which shel] fish are put up, be not put in effect until after Aug. 1. Senator Frye promised that he wouid endeavor to have the clause regard- ing the duty on cans modified, and he says he is also in favor of haging lobsters placed ono the free list. It is thought that the daty on lobsters will be eliminated entirely from the Dingley bill by the senate. — AN IMPORTANT RESOLUTION. Ix the Provincial Legislature on Satur- day Mr. Shaw gave notice of bis intention to meve the following resolution :— Whereas, the present Government gained power at the election of 1893 by leading the people to believe that the days of taxation were far off and by promising through economy and reform to make revenue and ¢xpenditure meet. And Whereas, that by certain resolu- tions submitted duriag several sessions of the Legislature, and by the declarations of Literal speakers at the late elections, both Federal and Local, the people were given to understand that Free Trade with the United States in the products of the soil would be obtained by the return of the Liberals to power at Ottawa. And Whereas, owing to the most reck- less waste, and extravagance in the various departments of the public service, they have seen fit to enact asystem of taxation that is unfair and unjust, and bears most unevenly on the people of this Province. And whereas, that notwithetanding the enormous amount collected in taxes during the past 3 years, the yearly receipts have not been equal to tbe expenditure, and as a consequence a public debt of an alarming magnitude bas been rolled up that threat- ens to jeopardize the future interests aud well-being of this province. Therefore Resolved, That the present Government having violated the pledges made to the people previous to the electin of 1893, a0d by their extravagant and reckless expenditures largely increased the burdens of the people, have therefore for- feited the confidence of the electorate of this Province. ——s SQUIBS FROM SOURIS. The lobster fishermen in this vicinity are busy getting their traps ready for the coming s@ason. Mr. Aibert Dingwell bas nearly com- pleted theerection of his steam mill, which, wher completed, will be one of the best mills in the county. Times are beginning to look brisk at the wharves. Capt. J. D. Lavie is having his vessel repaired and repainted, and Mr. Kickhar’s schr. Satellite is busy loading. They are to be engaged in the St. Pierree trade. Mr. Peter Stewart is getting his schooner ready for sea, and Messrs. Myers and Garret are building a new one. The St. Olive fis expected here daily. She will go from here to Magdalen Islands, ice and weather permitting. Mr. Geo. Knight is building a large coal shed on his wharf. This isa step in the right direction, It would be a good thing THE DAILY EXAMINER, CHARLOTTETOWN, APRiL 26, 189 if he had one there now as nearly everyone in town is out of coal. The road overseer of last year has been re-appointed. Itisto be hoped we will ree 8oOme money expended Oo the roads in town this year. ‘ We hear that Capt. Lavie got two bad duckings in the harbor a few days ago. We are glad to learn that the Captain is none the worse afier his immersion. The remains of the late Henry Me- Mahon, cf Elmira, arrived at Harmony Station on Thursday evening from Boston, Mass., where hisdeath took place. le ceased was the son of the late Lot. M.- Mahon, of Elmira. His death took place after an illness of 6 days. Lle was 26 years of age. The remains were taken trom Harmony to Elmira. We are pleased to learn that Mr. William Brennan, who hae been confined to his house for the past few weeks with la grippe is rapidly improving. It would not be » bad idea to have some planks putin the several boles in the sidewalk. It would not cost much and they are in a bad condition in some places. In Tus Examiner of the [4th instant “ Liberal” gave a very good account of the Star Chamber session of a recent date, But he confined his$remarks to one indi- vidual. “Jim” is not the only one thst is wanting to chirp in adowny nest. If “ Liberal ” would take a stroll down town some fine day he would finde a couple more old roosters whose greatest anibition would be to deal in stamps and po-tal cards for a few years at least. We may not be able to explain ourselves in such fluent expres- sions as “ Liberal” did, but we think that we can make the majority of the inhabi- tants of this town unaerstaud us, Captain Jinzs & Co.

Wixyirec, Man, April 22.—The water in the Red Kiver at Winnipeg continues to rise slowly, but thus far no inconvenience has been caused here and there iv believed to be no danger of a flood. At Emerson, Morris and other points down the river where the land lies much lower and the river is much narrower, a serious state of affairs exists. ‘The country is being inun- dated and most people are being compe!l«d to live in the upper stories of their houses. It is reported that along the Red R ver betwean Winnipeg and Emerson many settlers are suffering di-tress and want as @ result of the flood. Boils It is often difficult to convince peo- ple their blood is impure, until dread- ful carbuncles, abscesses, boils, scrof- ula or salt rheum, are painful proof of the fact. It is wisdom now, or when- ever there is any indication of Impure blood, to take Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and prevent such eruptions and suffering. *“] had a dreadful carbuncle abscess, red, fiery, fierce and sore. The doctor at- tended me over seven weeks. When the abscess broke, the pains were terrible,and I thought I should not live through it. I heard and read so much about Hood’s Sarsaparilla, that I decided to take it, and my husband, who was suffering with boils, took it also, It soon purified our Blood built me up and restored my health se that, although the doctor said I would not be able to work hard, I have since done the work for 20 people. Hood’s Sar- saparilla cured miy husband of the boils and we regard it a wonderful medicine.’ Mrs. ANNA PETERSON, Latimer, Kansas. Hoods Sarsaparilla {s the One True Blood Purifier. All druggists. $1.

Society in Europe has acertain re- stricted meaning which enables one to picture to himself what ‘‘in society’’ means. It is not necessarily a brilliant distinction, but it is at least a sufficient- ly intelligible definition. But here ‘‘so- ciety leader’’ and *‘clubman’’ may mean somcthing or nothing, as the case may be. Here again democracy exaggerates the very sentiments and positions it is supposed to ignore. Every woman with two changes of headgear is a ‘‘society woman,’’ ard every man with a top hat aud two pairs of trousers is a ‘‘club- man.’’ One hears, too, more talk about *‘eld families’’ here than anywhere else. Why it is I know not, unless it be be- cause they secretly feel that they are all fo new. — ‘America and Americans From a }’rench Point of View.’’ A Brand From the Burning. After the German invasion an officer of the Turkos could not settle down into civic life, but went off to Africa on an exploring expedition. In one of the na- tive villages on the Niger he saw an in- telligent, bright looking lad tied up, and on inquiry found that he was being fat- tened for a feast which was in contem- | platicn in which he was to appear roast- ed. He bought the lad for a case of Old Tom gin and brought him back to Paris, where he was sent to school, astonishing everybody by his capacity. He has just : died in that city, closing a history in | which his rescue shines as the most memorable incident. ee re em —_ One G. A. R. Post. One of the queer incidents of the in- auguration parade was the appearance of a Grand Army post from Sonth Da- kota. At the head of the delegation a huge red banner inscribed with the name of the postin great gold letters was held aloft by a stout colored man. Two other dusky gentlemen marched on either side of the standard bearer, carrying the tassels which depended from either side. Immediately behind the banner came the delegation. It marched with faultless precision ani perfect unison. It could hardly get out of step, as a matter of fact, for the dele- gation comprised but a sclitary veteran.
