NOVEMBER 22, 1897. - _ em, WINTER IMPROVEMENT, Tue approach of winter suggests tbe formation of reading, debating, and otber societies for the promotion of intellectual! fevelopment during the long evenings. Prince Edward Island enjoys a great ad vaatage in this reepecit. In other voun- tries and other parts of Canada, the people are continually distracted hy the imperious calls of business. They are importing and exporting, buying and selling, throughout the year. the close of navigation, turn to the caltivation of our minds, It is to be feared that we do not fully avail ourselves of our exceptional privileges in this regard. Our scientific institutes and debating clubs have for the mos: part suspended operations, and we see little prospect of their rejuvenation. But courses of lectures have been provided» and the lectures are to be varied hy literary musical and dramatic entertainments. We hear, too, that a few reading ziubs are to be formed, These will afford means for the exercise of the budding talents of our young men and maidens and menta! and social improvement through- Outthe community. We hope that they will be well patronized. @2+6+« A CAUSE FOR DISPLEASURE. Tue fact that the sspirations of Sir Lonis Davies bave for the second time been defeated is not noted by the Libera; organs here, though it has not fai'ed to arrest the attention ofthe friends of Sir Louis in this provivce. It is an open secret that Sir Louis had been given the right to expect an offerof the pertfolio of Minister of Justice upon the formation of the Laurier Cabinet. We believe that he went to Ottawa at that time in the confident expectation that he would obtain it. But the necessity of finding a tempor- ary resting-place for Sir Oliver Mowat and of re-aseuring public opinion in Ontario was pleaded as an excuse for giving him, for atime, an inferior posi- tion. The next shvffle, it was supposed would place Sir Louis in the high office he aspired to and had labored so long and arduously to obtain. It is certain that no man had stood by his leader more chival- rouely or continuously, whether right or wrong, and that no man available to Mr. Laurier was abler to preside over the De- partment of Justice. But now that Sir Oliver Mowat is shelved away in the Government House of Ontario, Sir Louis Davies is again passed over. The «mal pert played in this matter by Sir Wilfrid] Laurier has not escaped notice. It was Sir Oliver Mowat who insisted that Mr. Mills should be Minister of Justice. Mr. Mille had, it is true, spoken with the Con- servatives in respect to the Manitoba Schoo! Question and in direct opposition to the contention of the Liberal Party led by Mr. Laurier. Mr. Mills is, it is true, a theoretical philosopher rather than a practical lawyer or politician. Mr. Mills» tt i true, site away in the Senate while Sir Louis Davies sits, where the Minister of Justice ought to sit, at the Premier’s right hand in the House of Commons. ill the same Sir Oliver’s demand was yielded to by the complaisant Premier, and he obtain- ed not only the Lieutenant-Governorship of Ontario but also the selection of his successor. In spite of his strong personal, political, and professional cla:ms upon the Liberal party, and particularly upon Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Sir Louis Davies has to stay in the uncongenial department of Marine and Fisheries while another map ® promoted tu the position of bis choice. I: is possibly that Sir Louis has been placated by.wic promise of a seat upon the Beuch of the Sapreme Court. But this resort i¢ not what the men who voted for him were led to expect, and it is not won- derful that they are displeased. Bnt here, we can, after the THE DAILY EXAMINER, CHARLOTTETOWN, ROVEMBE! 22 897 THE FAILURE AT WASHINGTON, W Hine are Sir Wilfrid pretending and Sir Lous that for Cauada will follow good things their mission to Washington, those who are best isformed b the States make no bones about describ- ing the mission as adead failure. It is Wash vf the Boston Transcript tbat the “rock upon which the Anglo-American Behring Sea Conference split was te inability of stated by the ugton correapondent the representatives of the two Governments to agre upon the the chars acter of concession which Canada should receive in exchange for a discontinuance of her pelagic seal~ ing.” The American representatives at the eonterence, we are further intormed, “regarded it as feasible to pay something iv money on the ground that the revenues derived from our sealing contract are such thatthe Government could wel! spare the of the herds.

So bere the negotiations stopped. Nothing that the American commissioners felt at all warranted in offering would Sir Wilfrid accept, and nothing that he proposed did the commissioners feel they could secure” This is the empbatic language of one who wasevidently inspired directly by the men in authority at Washington. The Americans have no idea whatever of giving us their markets for any part of our raw products as the price of saving seal life in Behring Sea. Sir Wilfrid and Sir Louia ought not to try to cover their inglorious retreat from Washington by saying that which is aot, _— te —The sum and substance of the joint reports of the seal-exports is reported to be that the herd has declined that pelagic sealing has comtruied to the decliae by the excessive killing of females; that the cause of this excessive killing of females at sea is excessive killing of males on the islands; that pelagic sealing has fallen off morethan the berd has; that there is no danger of extermination so Jong as the rules = are maintained and the company at the islands keeps its slaughter within bounds. .The experts acquit the Canadian sealers, and show that the regolation of the pumbers of the herd is mostly in the hands of the islanders. Thus the appeal of our neighbors to the experts has gone against thew. EES ss HOW THIN YOU LOOK. Do you like to hear it?

The striking feature of the invention is that the carriage of the machine can be returned and the paper rolled up by pressing a button on the keyboard similar to those working the letters. The power is supplied by a large coiled spring, similar to the mainspring of alarge clock. A grooved avctor forms a guide for a coiled wire cable, which con- nects it with the end of the carriage. The power of the maiuspring operates on two gear wheels, one large and ove small, and betweru these and the sector | ea the mechanism for conirol ‘of the power, wherein the chief ingenuity of thes inven- tion consists, The spring which Sapplies the power is wound up |ike that of a clock and 's such that for the most rapid oper- ator it need only be wound about ovee per day. Realizing, however, the importance of baving it covuolled se that the »pring could be wound up without stopping work, Mr. Bar has an aitachmevt by which the operator, with one motion of his foot, can gain enough power to return the carriage for forty lines. This makes it exceptionally convenient for press and other work requiring rapidity. 8&2 SS ©22490562008 lemon ; : Tops Fresh to-day at our 8 Bakery. Price ¢ P = 4 TELEPHONE 98 D.

Man’s value is further proved when we consider what God was willing w give for him—the priceless value of redemption.

Would he do all that has been done forus if valueless? “God so loved the Word that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Since God so bizbly valwes man, let us do all in our power to carry to man every- where the glorions pews of a full salvation. The choir rendered some choice music during the service, and a most profitable tine closed with benediction by Dr. Heaoderson. Despite the unfavorable weather, a large congregation assewbled in the First Methodi-t Church last night to bear Rev. James Henderson, D. D., of Toronto, General Secretary of the Missionary Society of the Methodist Charch of Canada. = Dr. Henderson is of commanding presence and his delivery is foreeful and eloquent. He dealt with the matter of missions exclu- sively from tbe standpoint cf profit and los*, and clearly demonstrated the fact that even on tbe low level of dollars and cepts the cause of missions has an unanswerable claim upon the liberal support of every business man in every eiviiized community. Illustrations were given of the New Heroism, the heroism of Livingstooce, McDougall and othere, as contrasted with the Old: Heroism of physical daring. The result of Dr. Henderson’s able presentation of the cause of missions was, we learn, & large increase in the subscription of this already liberal church. The music at the service was especially arranged and excellently rendered by Mr. Earle and the choir under bis direction. Eee = Wheelmen Induced by many applications from wheel owners.
