L., is io the city visiting relatives.— Moncton Transcript. Mr. D. A. Starr was a passenger in the western express last evening. Mrs. Starr | LETTER FROM BRUCE STEWART& CO Sirn,—You state in yesterday’s issue that investigation, as suggested by us, | goes to prove that repairs to the dredge bail coult be done here by any gvod blacksmith. No doubt it could, if this blacksmith would goto the expense to build forges large enough to do the work. Forges of this size are not on this Island. We can tell you of ligiter forgings than this and other work, say cylinder for «team engine, sent to New Glasgow not long ago by the fi:m you wish to bring to the tront as first-class mechanics. We are willing to test the skill of the members of this firm to do this. Give them any piece of machinery to build, and ask fora working plan. Then get them to forge up and finish the same. We will do the same. Then submit it to some good mechanics and let them decide between us and settle this dispute. Until they come out and prove this to the publie we will not notice their assertions through your editorials. Yours, Bruce Srewart & Co. -- -<—e- THE RECENT YACHT RACE, Sin,—That the portion of the publie in- terested in yacht racing may know the facts involved in the judges’ decision with regard to the recent yacht race, I beg leave to give them as follows: “Nanita” protested “Alma” fora foul at the last turn of the course, under ralee, 13, 14 and 19 of the Royal Nova Scotia Yacht Club. To save space I will quote only the por- tions of those Rules which bear directly on the case, as follows: Rule 13. When both (yachts) are run- ning free with the wind on the same side, the yacht which is to windward shall keep out of the way of the yacht which is to leeward. Rule 19.— Ifayacht in conseq 2ence of her neglect of any of these rules shall foul another yacht ° she shall forfeit all claim to the prize and shall pay all damages. As the crew of “Alma” must? admit (and did admit after the race) “Alma” and “Nanita” were running free with the wind or the same side, and “Alma” was to windwardand should have given way. Instead of doing so she bore down on ‘Nanita’s” course,ant“Nanita” was there by compelled either to pass the buoy’ to portor collide with “Alma.” Rule 19 shows that one cour-e only is open to the judges in case of a foul, i. e. disqual fization of the yacht committing the foul. As to the second protest by Arrow, it is alleged that Ideal threw out ballast during the race, contrary to previous agreement of the yacht owners. I do not know what proof of this foul was offered, and so will not comment on it. As I was not ealled upon by the judges to testify us to the foul, I cannot say whe- ther their decision against Nanita was owing to the testimony of the crew of Alma or to a peculiar interpretation of the rules on their part, but I state the above facts merely to show the position of Nanita in the matter. With thanks for your valuable space, I am, yours truly, V. Doran. OPINION IN BELFAST, lias been here for some time. Mr. Samuel J.

We all know that Mr. Martin, the member elect for East Queen’s conducted the canvass in a fair and hon erable manner. It is well known that he warned his friends against the use of any liquor or corrupt means, and that he has whilst it is well-known that his opponents used at least liquor and a good dose of it, | and other doubtful means in order to de- defeat bim.

They will not allow the innocent to be crushed by the inveterate hate of Messrs. Davies, Peters & Co. In view of the promises and pledge: given by Mr. Davies at meetings in Melville, erc., it may b> that he is aware that Mr. Martin may be “a thorn in the flesh” to hm, that he will be able to remind him of his promises, and that he is anxious to be rid of him.. It is the people’s interest to see Mr. Martin in his place in order that justice may be done in the matter; of railway communication; aod if necessary meetings will be called all over the rid- ing to express the disapprobation of the electors. The legal quibbles of grit lawyers willnot do. The election was as fairly conducted as any in the history of the Province, and the people are going ‘o stand by their choice. Yours. Op Lrpera. Belfast, Aug, 5th, 1896. INDEPENDENT VIEWS. Sir,—From the tone of Tae Examiner for the past few davs, it is quite apparent that another attempt is to be made to carry) out the provisions of the Scott Act in | Charlottetown. Whether the’ intended: onslaught on the numerous ramsellers now in our midst wi!) be succe-sful is a ques tion by no means easy to answer. My own opinion is that the law cau be successfully carried out, provided those who are en- trusted with its enforcement desire to do so. . The city marshal aud the police force know every place where liquor is sold, and if they get the wink from their superiors they can within a week secure a conviction again st a large number of the illicit deal- ers. At present the paid prosecator for the city of Charlottetown is also an official of the Peters Government, and he is perfectly aware that when he is wanted to enforce the law he will be told the policemen are all empioyes of the City Council aud they know full well that a large portion ot the Council do not want active measures Ilence the apathy and supineness ou the part of the law enforcers. To ensure the law being carcied out a’! that the press and public have to do is to plainly tell the « tlivials charged with its enforcement that they must do their duty, otherwise others will be found to fill their places. The police and prosecutor will then go to work. Then let the magistrate see that his clerk properly. fills up the papers and that no loop holesare left for sharp lawyers to catch on to, and if these precautions are taken the public need have no fear for the result. There is but one more matter to attend to and that is to give those beer drinkers to uiderstand that when they come in the witness box they mast tell the truth. Every person of common sense knows that the beer now openly eold in Charlottetown is intoxicating, and measures must be taken to severely punish those liars who come ‘nto court and testify that it isnot. This can easily be done by analysing the beer and ascertaining the percentage of alcohol it contains, and if the reportshows, as it ceriainly will, that alcoboi eufficient to in- e>riate is contained in it, then a jury { : would have very little difficulty, wih the aid of their common sense, in tinding the false witness guilty of perjary. The w t- eee n-88 or convict as he would then le, would | afterwards have plenty of time to sober up in Dorchester. You, Mr. Editor, in com- mon with the public newspapers have the matter entirely in your own bands and can compel the reeogn tion ut ihe Temperance Act by directing our attention to the authorities which is really the fountain- | ‘ head, as well as the chicf offenders. : INDEPENDENT. a MORE LIGHT ASKED FOR.

It is poor economy to refrain from wear ing glasses when permanent injury to the Sir,—There appears to be a hint and a suspicion somewhere that a “deal” bas taken place between certain perties in authority and the violators of the Scott Act in regard to its enforcement in Char- lottetown. In your issue a few days ago you hinted at this “deal” and the Guardian immediately took up your hint and an nounced that it had suspici.ns of it for some time. Now it is pretty queer that the Guardian did not ventilate its su-picions, bnt kept them back until! Tue Examiner let the “ cat out of the bag.” However, now that the story is out, it's in the iotereste of all that full details of the “deal” should be made known to the public. With whom was it made? Why did it take place? And in whose interests was it? And were the members of the W. C. T. Union cognizant of it? These are important inquiries, and no time should be lost in throwing the search light of public opinion upon the whole transaction. By all means let the light be turned on. Pusiic Opinion.
