Ann Aa THE me a DAILY HRAMINER, be ae co we a - WEDNESDA °*, ‘SEPTEMBER SEPTEMBER 24, 1890. Notes and Comments. The Toronto Globe reports that the total admission receipts for the ten days of the Toronto Industrial Exhibition amount to $69,323, or $10,627 more than last year. Yes, this isa poor ruined country—after eleven years of the N. P.! —Halifax is suffering from a visitation of diphtheria, and her newspapers are dis- cussing the matter of her sewers. The opinion is expressed that it is much worse than useless to have sewers, unless they are properly constructed, and carefully flushed and attended to. —The Scie ntific American says of the new Sault Ste. Marie canal ‘The enlarge- ment of this canal in 1881, cost the feder- al government three million of dollars, and the second enlargement will cost the gov- ernment five millions more. The second enlargement embraces the construction of the largest lock in the world, with a cham- ber eight hundred feet long, between the gates, and a width of one hundred feet, witha depth of twenty-one feet at the sills. ” ~A remarkable illustration of the law of hereditary in crime has been found at Indianapolis, where a chart was recently exhibited which showed, through an _ exact genealogical tree that every crime of con- sequence committed in that city is to be traced to a single family connection. The chart displayed showed that, with this Ishmael and wife as a source, the paupers and criminals of the state have propagated, transmitting their evil tendencies asa leg- acy, from generation to generation. Through all the ramifications of this family for a century, were interspersed all of the noted criminals of the age in that state, and doubtless many had been con- tributed to the population of other states. —Sydney Webster, the United States lawyer, who has recently figured promin- ently in press discussions of the Behring Sea dispute, pays high tribute to the Can- adian ministers who have advocated our side of the controversy. He says that: “The attorneyship on the Canadian side, seems to have been, one may say, more thorough than on ours. The svlicitors work in collecting and co-ordaining facts and allegations respecting the habits of the fur seal has been done well on the Cana- dian side. Lord Salisbury has undoubted- ly had more efficient collaboratewrs and pre- ets writers than Mr. Blaine.” In this res- pect Hon. C. H. Tupper’s recent state papers have merited and have received great praise. — We hope and expect that there will be a large influx of visitors to Charlottetown in the coming exhibition week. It is, there- fore, pleasing to learn that provision is be- ing made for their comfort and accommo- dation while here. Of course the hotels will be unequal to the demands 6f the Occa- sion. Private householders who can do so will, we have no doubt, be prepared to let rooms to strangers. ‘The question is, how to give definite information at the right time to those who may desire accommoda- tion. It is suggested that word be !eft at the hotels, the newspaper offices, or with a committee of citizens provided for that pur- pose, who in turn will find means of con- veying information to visitors as to where they can find suitable lodging while in Charlottetown. A meeting of citizens to make arrangements concerning this impor- tant matter will be held in the Stipendiary Magistrate's Courtroom this evening. — Montreal Gazette: ‘‘ When an inter- change of commodities occurrs, the trade is more economically and advantageously con- ducted than when sales on one side are not offset by sales on the other. But the Globe has overlooked the fact that its whole argu- ment runs counter to the policy of unre- stricted reciprocity. We require the Eng- lish markets for the disposal of our surplus products, and we can best obtain that mar- ket by buying in turn from England. Very good ; but unrestricted reciprocity would at once reduce our import trade from Great Britain to less than one-half its present dimensions. The United States buys British goods to the value of $2.75 to $3 per head of population annually, while Canada buys to the amount of $8 to $8.50 per head, and it is obvious that if we adopt the American tariff and place ourselves in the same fiscal relation to Great Britain as the neighbor- ing country, our consumption of British products will fall to the American level. The manufacturers of the United States, under unrestricted reciprocity, would dis- place those of Britain in the Canadian market. Even when our tariff was 174 per cent. all round, the Americans were stead- ily beating out British goods, the value of imports into Canada from England declin- ing from $68,500,000 to $31,000,000, while in the same period our purchases from the United States fell off only $4,000,000. If the tariff wall to the south is thrown down, | nothing is more certain than that the im- ports from Great Britain into Canada would dwindle to about one-third of their present proportion, which implies, according to Globe logic, the destruction of a large part of our export trade with the mother coun- try. A Runaway.—A pair of horses, owred by Mr. Fred. Robins, of this city, were returning to town last evening, when near Jenkins’ Bridge they shied quickly at some object in the way, threw the driver out, and, starting to run, ran all the way at full speed, down Southport Ferry Wharf and right on board the steamer, which was fortunately in the dock at the time. The escape of the horses, and the fact that no one was hurt, are re- garded as little short of miraculous. en IsnaziL AND GLADSTONE.—It was ar- ranged that the stallions Israel and Glad- stone should trot a mile race at New Glas- gow on Friday last, for $100 aside. When the hour arrived for the race to start both appeared on the track. Geo. Carvill of St. John, the judge for Gladstone, took the stand, but Israel’s owner, Mr. Bell, re- fused to name ® Judge. Mr. Carvill then Sppointed Wm. H. Ross referee and gave the word “‘go.” Gladstone went over the mile and was awarded the race. There was « big kick, but as Messrs Carvill and agreed that the race was Gladstone’s, ® settlement was made, Mr. Bell giving ladstone’s owner, Mr, Gibson, $25, } 7 King’s County Exhibition. OPENING ADDRESS BY HON, D, GORDON. A Highly Creditable Exhibit. Large Attendance. (By Telephone to The Examiner). Tue first annual Exhibition, under the auspices of the King’s County Exhibition Association, was held at Georgetown to- day. It was very successful. The weather was clear and the attendance large. Among those present we noticed Hon. Senator Prowse, Murray Harbor; Hon. Donald Ferguson, Charlottetown ; Hon. Jas. Clow, Murray Harbor; H. L. Macdonald, M. P. P, Cardigan ; Cyrus Shaw, M. P. P., New Perth ; John McLean, M. P., Souris ; Dr. J. T. Jenkins, Dr, Beer, W. A. Weeks, Esq., J. T. Nicholson, Philip Large, R. R. Fitzgerald, J. J. Davies, A. N. Large, P. McCourt, H. T. Brownell and others. Shortly after one o'clock Hon. D. Gor- don opened the Exhibition. He began by expressing regret that His Honor the Lieut.-Governor was unable to be present. Hethen called attention tothe generous grant given by the Government for exhibition purposes and outlined the course pursued by the Commissioners in carrying into ef- fect the aim of the Government. Proceed- ing, he spoke of the excellent display both inside and outside the building, referring particularly to the show of horses and neat cattle. He also expressed his gratification at the large num- ber of people present, and advised far- mers to take more care to keep their boys at home instead of permitting them to go abroad. In the drill shed the display of fruit is much larger than that of former years, and the quality is excellent. There are sixty- seven entries and nineteen different varieties of apples, exclusive of crab apples, besides a-large quantity of small fruits. The butter and cheese display is not so large as that of last year. But the quality is, as usual, excellent. The fancy work department is well filled, the display of paintings, etc. being highly creditable. The woollen and flax goods department was even better stocked than it was last year. [he exhibit of roots and vegetables is large and good, beets, mangolds, squashes, etc. being splendid specimeps. Robert Stewart exhibited nine cases of stuffed native birds. His display atttacted a good deal of attention and was, in the opinion of many, superior to the collection shown at Charlottetown. Mr. W. P. Lewis, marble-worker, of Cardigan, exhibited a beautiful specimen of his handiwork, in the shape of a marble slab, upon which the Lord’s prayer was handsomely engraved. Outside the Drill Shed the display of horses and cattle is excellent The show of sheep, pigs aud poultry is also good. The names of those who made the most credit- able exhibits will appear in Toe EXAMINER to-morrow. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. A Suggestion. Sir,—It is probable that there will be a large number of strangers in the city next week. Would it not be well for the street Committee to clean up the streets and squares. The south side of Market Square particularly is in a dirty condition and en- cumbered with machinery and rubbish. Also the gutters on the north side of Water Street, near the Osborne House and Bond- ed Warehouse. A. B. Unfairly Treated. Sir,—In you issue of 23rd inst., you re- fer to the very satisfactory races at Sum- merside on the 20th inst., and compliment the management thereon. While | agree with you that the races were all that could be desired, I think the management was not altogether satisfactory. For instance the admittance to the field (25 cents) with an additional 25 cents for the grand stand. Being one of those who wished to leave the stand for a few minutes I was presented with what I thought was a pass, but on return I was informed that an additional ten cents was required. I think you will agree with me when I say that this was imposing on the public, While I think fifty cents quite sufficient for the day, I would not object to the ten cent business if all had been treated alike. Two gentle- men passed up just ahead of me who did not pay anything additional, and after- wards 1 saw it collected from some, while others passed up without paying. i Our people are now beginning to take an interest in horse racing, but they want to be treated fairly. This isa small matter, Mr. Editor, but things like this have as much weight with the public sometimes as larger. Sept. 24, 1890. Personal. The Courrier Francais says President Carnot is expected to visit Queen Victoria at Windsor next spring. The“ Chicago world’s fair commissioners have elected Col. George R. Davis, of Illinois, director-general of the exposition. Miss Rose Coghlan, who spent her vacation at Souris, opened her season on the 10th inst., at Milwaukee, in the Davidson Opera House. Mr. 8. 8. Peterson, Assistant Registrar of Deeds, has gone to the North Side to spend his vacation. We trust that, although late in the season, Mr. Peterson may enjoy his well-earned holidays, and return to his official dutes with renewed energy. Mr Edward P Moore, son of Mr Theo Moore, of the Inland Revenue Service, who has been studying for the past year with Dr. Kelly, of this city, went via Summer- side this morning to Philadelphia Medical College, to study for a three years’ course of medicine and surgery. From our knowledge of Mr E P Moore’s antecedents, we predict for him a successful career at college, and hope his future life as M D will redound to his own honor, the relief of his patients, and the gratification of parents and friends.
