It would not help Mr. Morris in the slightest degree. But Mr. Camp mud as Mr. Morris is in the mire. Mr. Campbell has been in the Legislature and bell is not as deep in the y years, and we question whether there lives the man who has seen transacting him drunk and incapable of public and private business; nor are we aware at he has ever used his public posl tion or his personal influence to defeat the action of tl law and enable violators of crate >» 32 , an act i £tarliament to go scot tree.

That is not THE EXaM INER’S objection at ul. There are many pronounced opponents of the Scott Act for whom we have the ! esteem. highest respect and Upon the merits of the Scott Act men have a perfect right to differ, and on questions in which the Scott Act is not primarily involved we might side with them and support them in preference to those who support the Scott Act. On a man and man we should certainly prefer an simple question between opponent of the Act, or—much as we depre- cate liquor drinking—one who drinksopenly, to the sneaking hypocrite who attends meet- ings of the Dominion Alliance, and makes loud professions against the liquor traftic,and takes his glass with the key carefully turned in the lock No, our objection to Mr. Morris is not that he is not a supporter of the Scott Act; it is that he is and admittedly the chief aider and abettor ** notoriously of violators of the law in this city.” The Patriot Seems to have dropped from its list of Mr. Fred. Peters’ personal quali- heations as a legislator, the item. to wit: that ‘the is a man of independent means.” It offers not a word of explanation concern- public uses to which Mr. , Ing tne | Peters is wont to apply his ‘independent means,” or the uses which he will apply it if elected and placed upon the first step of the ladder of judicial preferment. But it says that he “1s just as well able to make his living in the world ag either of the Tory candidates.”’ This is only another way of saying that ot . e , rye either of the Tory candidates are just as es aa make a living in the world as +18, and that all stand on an equal foot- ny.

The liquor traffic is the great curse of our Dominion, ~and of every Province. It never ceases to dissipate wealth, blight reputation, and destroy body and soul,—it is the ‘*pestilence that walketh in darkness, and wasteth at noonday.’’ Let no party considerations swerve any temper ance man from his course, but let him show to the public, that his principles can stand the test under any circumstances in which he may be plac ‘ d. ee > > I Souris’ Breakwater. We are glad to find that Mr. A. C. Me- Donaid, M. P. for King’s, has succeeded in having placed, in the Supplementary Esti- mates, an additional $5,000, makimg in all $7,000, to be applied in repairing the dam- age done to this work last fall. It is to be hoped that the repairs will be commenced early in the season. Last year, owing to Grit obstruction in the Commons, money available until Consequently, for public works was not after the middle of July. the work on the Souris Pier could not be undertaken early in the season. To escape the fall storms, repairs on such an exposed structure as this, should be done in mid- summer, On account of the necssary outlay at Souris, the building of the ted Point Breakwater, has, we understand, been post- poned. There is little doubt, however, but the people of that part of the country will obtain the proposed breakwater at no dis- tant day. Wreck of the Olivette. Captain Davies and seven seamen of the barkentine Olivette arrived from Pictou Wednesday evening. To an EXAMINER representative, who called upon him at the Revere House this morning, Captain Davies gave the following statement : ‘“The Olivette left Summerside for Bridge- water, England, on the 2Ist ult., with a crew of eight, (including myself) and a cargo of oats. All went well until the night of the 25th, about 8.45. Atthat time a south-east gale was blowing, accompanied by a thick fog, nd my ship went ashore on St. Paul's Island, about 14 miles from Cape North. At the time she struck, I judged myself to be at least eight miles off the Island, The courses I steered after making Cape St. Lawrence, would give me ten miles off. After the ship struck, l hove my yards back, not knowing that she was so badly damaged. Finding the bows all knocked in and the ship sinking and drifting off from the land, I ordered the boat to be hoisted out. The pumps were tried before we took the boat. Finding the water rushing in the crew and myself made for the Island in the boat. I lost my clothes and everything belonging tome. The only thing I took when we leit the ship was the compass, which I took in case of being blown off. But I am happy to say that I effected a landing at the east end light of the Island, where I was cared for that night by the keeper of the light. The next day I was taken to the Superintendent of the Island. 1 remained with him until the Newfield arrived ~—two days—myself and crew receiving every kindness. I am unable to account for the loss of my ship, knowing my compass to be correct. There must have been some extra- ordinary current sweeping me bodily to wind- ward, as I was so perfectly certain of Cape St. Lawrence when I took my departure. I am deeply thankful to Capt. Guildford and offi- cers of the Government steamer Newfield, for their very great kindness to myself and crew while on board.” The Olivette was 289 tons register, and owned by Hon. W. Richards. Capt. Davies has been her commander for almost five years, and the fatal trip was her first from here this spring. Dominion Franchise Act.

Srk,—-As the electors of this Province will shortly have to return their represen: | ' duty in the fear of God, and elect men who will legislate for the benefit of the com- munity. No doubt different questions will be dis cussed at the various political gatherings ; but there is one question (viz.) that of tem perance, which is of infinitely greater im portance than any other-—-than even that of the Subway under the Northumberland Straits. It would be a comparatively easy matter to govern the Island and the Dominion at large, if the accursed traflic in strong drink were placed under the ban. The time has arrived when all (independ. ent of party proclivities) who desire the spread of truth and of righteousness, should record their votes for the man who will give an uncompromising adherence to whatever will help to destroy this the greatest enemy of our country. It would most assuredly be a standing disgrace to the electors of this city and Pro- vince to return members who are in syim- pathy with this mildewing, blighting, and nefarious business. It can no more be made respectable, although the actions of some in authority show they think it so, than water can wash an Ethiopian white. It is evil—only evil—and evil continually. The writer sincerely trusts that the tem- perance question will be brought to the front in all the electoral districts, and that all the candidates for Parliamentary honors who will not pledge themselves on this very important matter will be elected to stay at home. Yours as ever, S. H. Rice. National Press and Mr. Costigan. The Irish While here in Canada certain newspapers have been ‘‘ hounding down ”—as far as in them lay—Messrs. Costigan, Curran, Burns, Coughlin and other Irish Catholic members of Parliament, backed by the ‘‘ whereases ” and ‘* resolveds ” of some half-dozen out of the scores of Irish National societies that exist in Canada, owing no doubt to the manipulations of the party wire-pullers, it is refreshing and at the same time interest- ing to learn the opinions of some of the leading newspapers in Ireland as to the action of those gentlemen on the Home Rule question. We first give that of Mr. Parnell’s own organ, United Ireland, which is edited. by Mr. Wm. O'Brien, M. P., merely pointing out that our contemporary falls into an error in saying that the ‘‘snub” alluded to came from the ‘‘ Tory ” Govern- ment in 1882. On the contrary, it was the act of Earl Kimberley, the then Colonial Secretary in Mr. Gladstone's government of that time. We now give, verbatim et litera- tim, what the United Ireland says in its issue of the 15th instant :-— “Great capital is sought to be made by a coupie of Tory papers out of the fact that the Dominion House of Parliament has by a large majority rejected the resolution of Mr. Blake, leader of the Opposition, in favor of Self- Government. On looking at the telegraphed report ofthe debate on the question we are opaque enough to fail to diseern. any particu- lar ground for Tory delight. The debate, we perceive, lasted until five o'clock in the moe ing, and in the result an amendment of Mr. Costigan, a member of the Ministry, was adopted. The amendment differed very little in substance, though it did in construction, from the proposed resolution. It expressed a cordiel interest in the welcome and prosperity of the Irish people, and adhered to the senti- ments expressed in the former address to the Crown on the subject of granting @ measure of Self-Government to Ireland. While declining to forward any fresh Address, having regard to the snub then administered by the Tory (?) Government, the Canadian Parliament reiter- ates its good wishes for Ireland, and ‘earnestly hopes’ that some measure satisfactory to its people may be passed. Now, where is the cause of our contemporaries’ unholy joy ? Between amendment and resolution it is all but a case of tweedle-dum and tweedle-dee. The advantage, if any, is on the side of Irish liberty; for it is from the responsible Ministry these good wishes emanate, not from the irresponsible Opposition.” The Dublin Freeman’s Journal, one of the oldest—if not the oldest—papers in Ireland, owned and edited by Mr. E. Dwyer Gray, M. P., reproduces Mr. Cos- tigan’s cable message to Mr. Parnell, which we published at the time, and, speaking of the numerous congratulatory messages received by the latter gentleman, says :— “The most notable of these is the long and deeply earnest communication of the Minister of the Inland Revenue in Canada. The Hon. John Costigan, who speaks on behalf of the Irish representatives in the Dominion Parlia- ment, is, we need hardly remind our readers, the mover of the celebrated series of resolu- tions in favour of Home Rule for Treland, passed in 1882, and which was the first expre:- sion of its kind in favour of the Irish National demand, Mr. Costigan also moved the am- endment to the resolutions in the Dominion Parliament a few days ago, aud the purport of which was so ludicrously misinterpreted by several of our home journals, as well as some across the Channel.” The sentiments of the journals quoted, which are recognized, as reflecting the views of Irish Nationalists, present a striking {contrast in their estimate of the action of Mr. Costigan and his confreres to that of Grit journals in Canada, whose only sbject is to endeavor to win over the Irish Catholie vote. But while the newspapers on the other side were misled by ene sent from here, the same excuse does not exist in case of those in Canada who knew better, and who deliberately and maliciously dis- torted the facts so as to prejudice the Irish Catholics of this country against their tried representatives in the Canadian Parliament. —Ottawa Citizen. ——— 2m Scott's Emulsion of Pure Cod Liver Oil, with Hypophosphites Is more reliable as an agent in the cure of Consumption, Chronic Coughs and Emacis- tion, than any remedy known to medica! science.
