One of the sums to which Mr, Davies re- ferred was $118,239.17 to pay the award Lmperial Privy Council in the Wind- sor «& Amnapolis Railway case ; and another $40,791 to Mr. H. McD. Henry for ser- vices as attorney in the case. How could the electors therefore, be debauched by_ the ] t of this award ? wards of $16,000 were paid to make | promises in Prince Edward Island,the amount of duties paid to the United States Customs on fish and fish oil in 1871— lapse a balances of votes of 1884 and 1885.6.

Who ever heard a Toronco man revile Tor- onto, or &@ Hamilton man discredit Hamil- ton, or a St. John man belittle St. John ? Don’t let us imagine that this self depreca- tion arises from any lofty motive. _ Most frequently it is envy of our imnmiediate neighbors. Our besetting sin isa deep- rooted uncharitableness which we gloss over with the name of candor. There is no patriotism in deprecating one’s own town, in slandering one’s own fellow citi- zens, in grudging them any eminence or honors they may attain, in always going abroad for anything good. In doing so we like to feel that we ourselves who criticise are superior to our surroundings. It is a moral twist akin to Pharisaism.” Mr. Norquay, Premier of Manitoba, made an exceedingly clearand fair state- ment of the disallowanee question from his point of view to a representative of the New York Ilerald. He scouted the idea of rebellion in that prevince and characterized the talk about it as the *‘purest rov.” Itjwill he said, not only not foccur but will not be necessary.” ‘* The whole matter is one to } be settled fn the courts, and it is there that | look for a fight. If necessary, of course, we shall appeal to the Imperial Govern- ment The interview bears internal evidence of being a genuine one, and the tone Mr. Norquays remarks on the | matters in dispute between his province and the general government is exceedingly | creditable to him as @ pablic man. er eS _, HE warships Bellerophon, Canada ‘and fourmaline are expected to arrive at Wnebee (to-day) September Ist.

It is with regreat that we record the death of Mr. Angus Davies, Mt. Thom, Picton, which sad event took place on the 19th inst— the day of the 4lst anniversary of his mar- riage. Few men were better known in this part of the country than the deceased, who was 73 years of age and highly esteemed by \|. He was Government inspector on the W. und A. Railway, and the I. C. R. from Truro to Pictou during its construction. He was elected Municipal Councillor for polling sec- tion No. 9 for a term of two years. By his death the Salt Springs congregation loses a good friend, and the Conservative party a strong supporter. Mr. Davies had a family of nine sons and one daughter, all of whom are living with the exception of a son who died some years ago. Six of the sons were present at the faneral, which was one of the largest ever seen in the county. To the be- reaved widow, relatives and friends we tender our heartfelt sompathy.— Pictou Standard.

Sir,—Your remarks anent the Law and Order League in yesterday's issue are, | fear, calculated not only to mislead the electors but also to do an injustice to the Dominion Alliance of this Island and its late Secretary, the Rev. Geo. W. Hodgson. I have to ask that you will kindly publish the circular tothe electors which | now enclose, containing the promise in question, and then show wherein the Alliance have failed in their duty. I have no hesitation in asserting that whoever else is to blame because the Act has not been betterenfurced, the Dominion Alliance have faithfully car- ried out the promise made through their President and Secretary to the electors of Charlottetown in 1884. Let the blame rest on the right shoulders. A MEMBER. To tHe ExLectors oF CHARLOTTETOWN, Fe.tow Exnecrors,—On Thursday next you will have the opportunity of marking your ballots for or against the Petition to repeal the ‘‘ Canada Temperance Act, 1878,” in this city. The following suggestions are respectfully submitted for your most serious considera- tion :— If the Scott Act is at the present time re- pealed, the Liquor Traffic will be absolutely uncontrolled, at least for some months, until one or the other of the two} License Laws is declared constitutional. And if the Canadian Liquor License Law is declared constitutional, liquor can be legally sold to al! minors over 16 years of age, and to children of any age from the country when they come into town. (Sec #6 Vic., chap. 30, Sec. 74.) And it our Provincial law is declared con- stitutional there will be utter confusion, from the fact that probably there is now no Licen- sing Board and can be none until September, 1885. _These elections are now being held all over Canada to test the feelings of the country on the question of complete Prohibition. Every place rejecting or repealing the Scott Act will be put down as against Prohibition. Do you wish Charlottetown to be put down as being against Prohibition ? Coe power originating and pressing on the petition is the liquor interest. Why are they so anxious for the repeal of the Scott Act? Do you believe they want Prohibition ? Licensed Taverns and Saloons have in the past made many, many drunkards, and have been an injury to the community. They will be in the future as they have ever been in the past. If we vote for the Petition, we vote for Licensing Taverns and Saloons; and we cer- tainly shall make ourselves responsible for what these Taverns, licensed by our help, must do. Is it not better to leave the responsibility for the consequences of the sale of liquor where it now is, borne almost altogether by those who break the law. And make no change until we can put upon law-breakers the whole responsibility, as by complete Prohibition we hope soon to do. The Dominion Alliance imtend this winter to send to Parliament a petition, signed, we hope, by an immense majority of our popula- tion, asking for complete Prohibition. We want to be able, in that petition, to say that our whole Province keeps tothe Scott Act for the measure of Prohibition it contains, while asking for alarger measure of Prohibi- tion. Do you wish Charlottetown to be the first place in Canada to repeal the Scott Act ? Do you wish Charlottetown to be the only place in Prince Edward Island where liquor can be legally sold ? In the past three years, notwithstanding the many well-known hindrances and dithcul- ties, $4,500 in fines have been collected from about 40 persons in Charlottetown. _ Many ot these persons have given up sell- ing. At alate meeting the Alliance pledged it- self, in event of a victory on Thursday, to do all in its power to assist in the enforcement of the law. On the 16th, Stormont, Dundas, Glengarry and Charlottetown will vote on the Scott Act. Do you wish on that day there shall be con- gratulations in every liquor shop on the fact that Charlottetown has gone against the Act? Do you not wish toaddthe name of your city to the long list of Temperance victories ? Will you not, when you vote next Thurs- day, mark your ballots against the Petition? On behalf of the Alliance, F. W. Hanes, President, Groxck W. Hopeson, Secretary, P. K. I. Branch of Alliance. THREE GREAT EVILS, Mr. Graham, just returned from Eng- land, had an interesting interview witha reporter of the Montreal Gazette as to the impression he formed while in the Mother Country. ‘*‘ Have they a good harvest in England?” he was asked. ‘‘T found,” replied Mr, Graham, “ that the present harvest is the best they have liad in England and Scotland for twenty years, with the exception of the root crops, which, owing to the drought, are somewhat dwarfed, 1 may also say,” he added, ** in connection with the land question, that the amount of land offered for sale is remark- able, and that considerable portions of land are being bought up, but not as much by the farming community as would be desir- able, owing to the fact that farmers have an idea that the price of land will still be reduce’, This is especially true in Scot- land, where seveial laige estates are offered for sale, but no purchasers can be found. The price of the land is estimated on the basis of twenty-one years rent, to be paid in yearly instalments.” ‘*Do the farmers appear to be content- ed ?” ‘“*The farmers of Scotland, asa class, appear to be contented, but that is not true of the crofters (who cultivate from one to ten acres, those cultivating fifteen acres and upwards being called farmers), who seem to be uneasy and appear to feel that they are paying too high rents, even at the re- duced rates, which are at least 50 per cent. lower than they were two or three years ago. These crofters refuse to buy the land forthe same reason that is given by large farmers, viz, that they expeet the price of iand will be very much reduced in another year or iwi.” ‘** Is any of the land lying idle?” ‘**Yes. In England portions of large estates are lying in waste for want of ten- ants, no one being willing to take the land even for the taxes.” Speaking of the pauper population, Mr. Graham said: ** The question of providing, in some way, that the products of pauper labor will not come into competition with the general market is exercising the English mind to-day. It is thought that this can only be done by giving the paupers employment on some of the unproductive land, compelling them to produce and make everything that they are in need of, and requiring short hours of labor, thus allowing them a certain number of hours per day to devise means to improve their condition. This is one of the great problems to be solved in England to-day, as one-fifth of her population are in the poorhouse.” ** What do you think of the poor laws ?” ‘* While in England | investigated the poor laws and visited a number of the poor houses, and I consider that England’s poor laws are one of her greatest curses. The present system of doles to the poor has had a tendency to educate the idle to be more idle. When a man once gets into the poor house it is almost impossible for him to reform and get into a position afterwards, as they are compelled to do useless labor only. The three great evils troubling England to-day are, first, those resulting from her entail laws and prevent- ing the land from being held by small own- ers; secondly, her poor laws, the tendency of which instead of reclaiming the idle and giving them habits of industry, have the opposite effect; and, thirdly, the beer drinking, which seems to have’ reached a point where the people cannot do witheut it, and it is a question whether the habit is not so formed that it will be impossible to reclaim England from this curse. Merchants in Liverpool and ~London will defend the beer drinking by the men, on the ground that the women drink more than the meu, and that it is useless for the men to try and reform the women from the habit. The law at present compels these drinking houses to close during certain hours on Sunday, and some time before the opening hour arrives the streets in front of these lined with places are men and wo- men eager to get the first drink. While the general business of England to-day is fairly prosperous, the best paying business is her eating*houses and saloons and it is looked upon as the surest and quickest road to wealth. © As an in- stance oi this | may mention that when a joiut stock company on the co-operative plan was being organized to supply Man- chester with beer, the capital was placed at somewhere about £1,000,000, in shares of £1 each, and so good was the investment though to be that it is said the stock was subscribed for twenty times over.” ‘* Did you find a growing feeling in favor of protection in England ?” ‘* There are two great questions now agitating the thoughtful mind of England ; first, what shall we do with Ireland, and secondly, shall we save our people from the results of foreign competition, and there is a strong feeling to-day that England will be compelled to _ pro- tect her industries in some way. For instance, there is no doubt but that the sugar refining industry will be closed up unless some provision is made in the shape of a bounty to protect the home manufac- turers, who cannot compete with the French sugar on account of the bounties. Again, a number of merchants with whom | came in contact, including some of the largest merchants in London, advocate that American grain should be allowed to come in free, but that a prohibitory daty should be placed on flour, having in view that this would give employment to machinery and mill builders, and also to a great many peo- ple in the grinding.
