eee. =P SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 13 ‘892 THE DAILY EXAMINER. FEBRUARY 13, 1892. East Elgin. Yesterpay was another very cold day forthe Grits. The remarkable triumphs of Thursday were followed yesterday by a splendid Liberal-Conservative victory 10 East Elgin. The Conservative. majority is all but six hundred, while at the general election it was only forty-six ! This result was obtained in spite of the fact that the Opposition candidates is petsonally strong and was, solely on his personal merits, spe- cially recommended by the Hon. Edward Blake. But the record and the policy of the Opposition are alike abhorrént to the honest and patriotic people of the Premier Province. _—-— + Liberal Measures. Tue Liberal element in the British Government seems to be exerting the jre- ponderating influence over domestic legis- lation. Announcement is made in the Queen's Speech at the opening of Parlia- ment of measures for giving county govern- ment to Ireland and for increasing the number of small agricultural holdings; of measures to improve education in Ireland and England and to enable accused persons to be examined on their trial. The pro- bability is that many members of the Liberal Party will be found giving their support to the Government proposals. —~ ~9-@ee——__— —— University Extension. Tus is one of the grand forward move- ments of the present age by which the possibilities of the highest education are brought within the reach of all who have the inclination and perseverence to secure it. Thousands vf our young men and women have hitherto been debarred the privilege of instruction in some branch of science for which their talents eminently qualitied them, because of the impossibility of meeting the very heavy expense of attending a University class. By the University Extension Movement, competent lecturers are sent round to the people wherever there is an opportunity of forming a class, and the same instruc- tion is given as in the University itself, the same examination papers are used, and the students take the same class standing, making precisely the progresa they would if attending the University Hall, and receive certificates therefor,—all at nominal expense. In a week or two an extension class of the Mt. Allison University will be opened in Charlottetown, and we trust that many of our talented and aspiring young people will avail themselves of this excellent opportunity to ob- tiin the advantage of & per- fect science course. There is untold talent among the vigorous youths of our Island, and a movement like this is just the thing to separate the rich grains of wheat from the chaff, and to raise genius to where it will receive its highest reward in some sphere of useful labor. But even to those who never expect ts complete a university education, the exercise of a par- tial course will tend to lift soul and brain into higher sympathies and emotions that will prove # lasting benediction through life. Tae lecture course hera will ba in con- nection with the Mount Allison University, but arrangements are being completed by which the standing obtained by students will be equally available for any other uni- versity. Notes and Comments. ~— Remarking upon the causes of the re- cent defeat of the Scott Act in St. John County, the Globe, of St. John says :— “This must not be taken »s an indication of a decline of either temperance sentiment or practice, but, as the act is so difficult of en- forceme st and causes so much litigation that aud does) not appear to do any real good, the people are tired of it. It is anoteworthy fact that the parish of Lancaster, where a special effort has lately been made to enforce the act, gave a large majority against it; and this majority is believed to be due, to a consider- able extent, to the trouble and ill-feeling aris- ing out of the enforcement.” — The following is a fairly good fortnight’s record ; Constituency.

They show trat Mr. McGreevy had a much larger amount of Sir Adolphe Caron’s funds than the Globe orders covered, They prove that Sir Adolphe, in giving orders upon Mr. McGreovy, was only calling for that which he had deposited with him fora purpose. The total of Sir A. P. Caron’s published drafts on Mr. Mc- Greevy amounts to less than $5,0C0. The terms of the orders themselves show that the sums wentioned were for candidates’ expenses. Ti 0.6 subsequent developments the Globe promised will have to come to hand before the country will be excited over its bombshell. Imperial and Colonial Trade. | SIR MICMAEL HICKS BEACH SITS UPON MR LOWTHER AND NOWARD VINCENT. t A recent despatch from London says that Wednesday night’s debate in the house of commons on Mr. Lowther's motion to termin- ate treaties hindering preferential inter-im- perial treaties, was very dis«ppointing to the friends of the colonial free trade movement. | Sir Michael Hicks.Beach wes led by the avowed protectionist nature of tho speeches of Lowther and Howard Vincent to adopt an openly hostile attitude on behalf of the gov- ernment. tHe said he would go along way to secure a common tar'ff for the whole empire, but this miserabie substitute would injure | Britain without deing the colonies any gvod. | The Dominion pariie ment proposes no ‘lefinite | scheme to the British government. The ad-; vocacy of the ides was based upon ths} vaguest resolutions of public meetings," over- flowing with sentiments which we cordially share,” namely, affection hetween England and her colonies. With all respect to Cau- ada, England is a better judge of the require- ments of the commercial telation of the country, even than the Canadian Parlia- ment. This was not the time to move for the revision of treaties. —- $$ > Personal Mrs. Sarah Thompson died in West Ox- ford on Saturday, aged 105 years.

Israel Tarte would be of inter- est at the present time obtained the fol- lowing :— . Mr. Tarte said that he had received money from Mr. Thomas Mc(ireevy for ex- penditure in the elections of 1887, but chis | meney was not for himsel*. ‘*1 was sent by Sir Hectwr Langevn and Sir A. P. Caron, as I suppose a sco e of other friends were sent, and none of us—TI must say that for my Conservative friends as well as for myself~knew at that time that Mr. Mc- Greevy had any connec ion with the cou- noily’s. When, therefor, the Globe tries to make the whole Conservative party of that time responsible for McGreery's actions, it is on the wron; tack alt» gether. 1 am not acting to-day with the Conserva- tive party, but I will not be unfair to them, because, as I say none f us knew at that time that Mr. McGreevy was perpetrating frauds, for, had 1 known it, 1 would not have ;one to -them at all. The Globe is trying to make people believe that the Conserva-ive party at that time knew that McGreevy and the Cun- nollys were defrauding ths public and that we were accomplices with them, that ig not true.” ‘Who do you think is the Globe's in- formant ?” ‘Why, Thomas McGre wy himself How could it be otherwise? Who could have Aberdeen. ' : taking a deep interest in the affsirs of lreland ever since her husband was Vice- roy, and The Irish Times recently con- tained a deserved tribute to the work she has done for the people inthe Green Isle: ‘*Though herself a Scotchwoaan, she seems to be an Irishwoman by sympathy. The [rish Industries Association was or- ganized by her, she being the president and mcving power ef it, and the object she has always had in view was to put the workers of the association, if possible, in direct communicstion with various trades, so as to place their industry on a perman- ent commercial footing. There is very little doubt that but for her the Irish lace industry would have died out, but she made the association stand in as an unpaid middleman between the producers and consumers, find a market for the lace, and take steps to develop, improve and extend the work of the industry in every duirec- tion.” oe News Notes. Ruinous floods have taken place in parts of New Zealand Canadian trade with the West Indies is growing rapidly. The factions in Brazil are still quarreliing and serious trouble is expected. A rich vein of coal has been discovered in Ireland, between Dungannon and Cooks- town. The popular agitation against Germany’s sectarian education bill is spreading through- out the er pie. Edward and William York and W. A, Ellictt were tined $50 and costs each in London in connection with the cattle de- horning. The fact that Canadian agricultural im- plements can go to foreign countries and sell well there is at once a proof of their excellence and their low price. In 1891 Canada exported $252,620 worth of these implements, Grest Britaia took $100,031 worth, Germany $39 890 worth, Australia @38,217 worth, and the Argentine Repnb- he $23,162 worth. No better testimony to the success uf an industry maintained by reasonable and moderate protection cowid be adduced. ed Reiigious Services. Rev.

Str,—I observe that tho editor of the Patriot insists upon the nscessity of sink- ing the “* pumping shaft." recommended by Sir Douglas Fox in conection with the test borings to be made oa the line of the P. E. Island tunnel. I beg to remark that, however sgreeable i: might pe to in- tending contractors to have the bed for the proposed tunnel opened upin every dir- ection for their inspection, as this pumping shaft, while a costly sffsir will not explain anything of importance aiter the borings are msde, it isa pity to urge for unneces- sary expense and delay in the approaching survey. The pumping shaft wou'd not penetrate one half the beds which tie boring will. {t could only show what leakage might vceut in itsown vicinity, and would not explain the hydraulic character of the beds pevetrated by the main si binsrine tunnel, which would be entirely d:ffsrent strata. This pumping shaft wou'd be valuable in the construction fur pump ng and _ventila- tion, but is not necessary in the survey. F. Bary. Re Mail Car -iers.
