' winter in Mr A Foolish Exchange. SuHatt the Canada Temperance Act | be sustained or not? is the question | which, on the 16th of next month, will | be submitted tothe electors of Char- | lottetown. If they give it up, what are they lo} have in its stead? This last question, those who ask the city to give up the present law, should | certainly be prepared to answer, Bat they cannot answer i! They ask that a law which they do not like should be repealed; and they cannot say what they have to offer in its piace. La Ww That License Law 7? Nobody knows. We have in our local statute book a Perhaps they will say “‘ A License | ys License Law; there is also one in the Dominion statute book. is constitutional ? Nobody koows, Everybody kuows that one of them must be unconstitutional. But which of them ? Nobody knows. Now, what can magistrates or cou stables do when acting under a law of doubtful censtitutiouality ? Everybody knows they can do nothing. Som. times they do not do much with a law of undoubted force. Imagine the resultio( their efforts with a doubtful one. A law that may be unconstitutional, is a very dangerous weapon for those who handle it. It may at any time ex- plode and hurt the men who use it. Suppose that your property was ip danger from an attack of marauders, that you were on guard’ with the best weapon you could get—one, it may be, not as good as vou liked, still, one that at least would not burst as you used it. And, now, suppose that some persous, whom you more than suspected of having intimate relations with the men you were on guard for, came to you and said: “My good sir, give up that weapon, it is not doing as good work agaiust our enemies as we should like, give it up, and take one of these in its stead.” And then, if you followed his advice, you might hear seeu him say, as he turned off, laughing: “The fool, that weapon may burst in his hands,—he believed that his ene- mies and mine are the same.” Ifthe people of Charlottetown give up, at the request of the liquor dealers, the Canada Temperance Act for a License Law of doubtful constitutionality, they will act in just this way : They will make avery foolish ex change. -— ~@aDeoG>-e-— Government Claim against Old Bank. Mer. Justice Perers this morning delivered a long and elaborate decision in the matter of the claim of the Domin- ion Government to be paid in full their claim agaiost the Old Bank. The judgment is against the Prerogative right, and holds that the Government must rank as ordinary creditors. The main ground on which the learned Judge based his decision, is—as we understand it—that the Old Bank being a local corporation, created by the Local Government pre- vious to confederation, and never having been legislated on by the Dominion Parliament, the Dominion Government cannot claim to be paid in full. This decision would be a matter of congratulation,—were it certain that it will stand. But as itis rumored that the Government will appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada, one result of the present judgment will be that the assets of the unfortunate institution will be locked up for a long time—perhaps fur years,and the decision may ulti- mately be reversed after squandering good money in legal expenses. But, whatever may be the result of the in- the tended appeal, it will delay the winding up of the affairs of the Olid Bank and necessitate more frittering of the assets among the legal gentlemen. This may be satistactory to them; but we doubt if it will be to the unfortusate creditors. The Office of Clerk of the Crown. ee Tae dictum laid down this morning by Judge Peters, that all rights and pre- rogatives vested in the Local Govern- ment of this Island before Confederation which are not expressely taken away by the Briiish North America Act, are stil! vested io the Island Government, will be r-ceived with satisfaction by ex-Lieut. Governor Haviland, Mr. Justice Hensley acd Attorney General Sullivan. Read- ers of Tae Examiner will re- member that our contention last winter, in reference to the right of the Lieutenant Governor of this Provicce, to appoint Mr. Irving to the office of Clerk of the Crown, was that that right haviog been vested in the Lieutenaut-Governor previous to Con federation, and not having been taken away by the British North America Act, still existed; that the Lieutevant-Gov eroor Wasstill the proper person to make the ‘“ppoiutment ; and that Mr. Irving having 30 received it, was entitled to the position. By Mr. Justice Peters’ deci- sion rendered in the Old Bank ease. this Morning, this position is sustained, al- though, in doing so, the learned Jud re overruled his own decisidn in Mr. Irving's Which of these | D388 ‘that the membership of the Association ee DATILY. sse, rendered in Jau ary last. We coc eratulate Mr. Justice Hensley on the cut decision, which amply justifies strong ground taken by him last: Irvine's behalf. pr the A Manifesto. To all j* rsons ente re sted in Dairy Farming | and General Agriculture. By order of the Executive Committee vf | ; , 5 td ¢ Prines the Dairymens’ Association of Prine | Edward Island, we address you in behalf of the objects of the organizst:op, The promotion of the dairying industry of our Province is, we believe, an object of | the greatest importance, and efforts in this | direction should receive the earnest sup- port of, at least, every intelligent and pro- gressive farmer. Mestings,at which papers may be read on all subjects connected with the tarm and the dairy, and discussed in a practical manner, | cannot fail to awaken general interest and disseminate correct information. These, with the publication of reports and papers, and their circulation among the peopie,are some of the means by which it is hoped the | Dairymen’s Association may serve to assist in the development of our Agricultural and dairy interests. ea To carry out these objects, it is necessary should be greatly increased, and we ven- ture to solicit your co-operation. The general annual meeting will be held in Charlottetown on Wednesday evening, the 8th of October next, at half-past seven o'clock, in the Hall of the Young Men's Christian Association. As the time cor- responds with the meeting of the Provincial Exhibition, it is hoped that you may find it convenient to attend, and aid in its deliberations. T. H. Havitanp, President. Charlottetown, Sept. 20th, 1884. (Island papers please copy.) _: a King’s County Exhibition Notes. The Superintendent of the P. E. Island Railway has made the following arrange- ments with regard to the carrying of ex- hibitors and their exhibits for the King’s County Exhibition, on October lst., prox., VIZ :— Return tickets will be issued at all sta- tions west of Charlottetown, on Tuesday, the 30th September, and from stations east of Charlottetown on Wednesday, the Ist October, good to return up to the 2nd October, at one first-class fare. The after- poon train from Georgetown on October Ist will be held until 4.47 local time. By this arrangement passengers will be enabled to return to their homes on Exhibition day. Exhibitors from stations east of Mount Stewart, on the Souris branch, will have their exhibits conveved to Georgetown on Tuesday afternoon, September 3), thus en- abling them to have their exhivi!s properly entered and arranged in the building. We hope to see a good exhibit from the eastern section of the country this year, as by these excellent arrangements exhibitors from Morell, S’. Peter’s and Souris, are put in as good a position as if they were living in the immediate neighborhvod ot the Show Grounds. Come, friends from the eastern section of the country, take away some of the prizes from New Perth, Montague and George- town. Exhibits from Souris Branch will be returned free, if ownership is not changed, on Thursday meruing, October 2nd. One judge has been selected from each electoral district in the County for each department, and no doubt tiey will give sAtisfaction to all fair men. Tickets to exhibitors will be issued at «ll stations on Souris Branch, on Tuesday, the 30th Sept. inst., good to return on ‘ihurs- day, the 22nd October next, for one first- class fare. LO. ©..%. MEETING OF THE SOVEREIGN GRAND LODGE OF THE WORLD AT MINNEAPOLIS. — Minyearous, Minn., Sept. 15.—The Sovereign Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows of the world met this morning at the Grand Opera House, where E. M. Wilson, on behalf of Gov. Hubbard, and Mayor Pills+ bury, on behalf of the city, extended a formal welcome. At noon the lodge ad- journed to go on excursions to Lakes Calhoun and Harriet and the falls of Mionehaha. ‘To-night a banquet was served at a hucel. The reports of officers show about 500,000 lodge members and 90,- 000 encampment members, a gain of nearly 12,000 lodge members and nearly 6,000 encampment members during tha past year. The available assets of the Sovereign Lodge are $80,000, a gain of $6,000. In view of the fact that last session cost $20,000 the grand sire recommended the abolichment of annual sessions and the substitution of biennial sessions. About 500 delegates were present. Mr. Andre Cushing of St. Jobn, and Mr. Benj. Bremner, G. M., Charlottetewn, are the representatives from the Lower Provinces. —— = — Items from Souris. _ Messrs. McDonald, McDonald & Co., Souris, shipped 505 barrels of mackerel to Boston on Wednesday—235 from Souris, and 70 from St. Peter's Bay. Mabel Deleware, Capt. McDonald, saved 149 barrels of mackerel off East Point on Thursday. The fleet in general are doing little or nothing, with a few exceptions, although the sea is literally swarming with the much desired fish. Plover and snipe are eagerly sought after, and not unfrequently fall before the sports- man’s aim. Farmers are busy harvesting; about one- half of the grain is gathered 1n this section of the couotry. The oat crop gives promise > Hao LETTORS PO THE HOFTOR, | , es | The Scott Act.

Ido not failto see that the | liquor sellers‘and their chums are the most anxions for repeal. By retaining the Act we have much to gain ; by repealing it we have much to lose. When the pevple of Canada vote for the Scott Act they declare to the General Government that they are prepared for Prchibition, Should they repeal the Act, they tell the Government they want the rum shops of Canada licensed, protected and supported by law. lf this view of the question prevails, the near future will reveal the fact that Canada is ready for Prohibition, Lin. -Con.
