DATLY THE DAILY EXAMINER. | ‘JANUARY 21, 1892 | ' The Mayoralty. Tae Examiner was not informed con- cerning the presentation of a requisition to | the Hon: T. H. Haviland, its editor being | deemed—by the geatlemen who have been trying to run the town—too insignificent or not sufficiently interested in civic mstters to be asked to send a representa- tive to report the ceremony. We are, therefore, compelled to fall back upon the Guardian's statement of the matter. The Guardian reported : ‘Under ordinary circumstances he (Mr. Haviland) said he would not have felt disposed to again place himself in nomination ; but in the present condition of affairs, when it might be unwise to have a mayor unacqusinted with civic affairs and inexperienced in public life, he would comply with the wishes of the re- quisitioners.” | Mercier Government is looming up. Notes and Comments. — The Empire says: ‘It is impossible to explain the heavy majorities polled in North Lanark and Glengarry for the Con- servative cand:datss on any other ground than that the policy of the Government is meeting with popular approval.” — Another scandal on the part of “ t a deposit of $100,000 was of the city banks and that $50,000 of it has diaappesred in some mireculous way. ‘The minisiars are now endeavoring to solve the mystery. — Mr. Mercier’s little trip to Europe cost the Province $162 a day from the tima he left here till his return. This is what he means »y living ‘' modestly, bat conven- ablement,” as he said on his return. His five days’ trip to Bonavenrure after hia election cost the Province $590, or $100 a day —The Guardian, which spells toffy with an ‘‘a,” and daphne with a ‘‘ff,” which in forms the world that Shakespeare wrote the “School for Scandal,” and thst Sir appears that made in one . . . Thomas More was an Irishman, which has the presumption to instruct the psople of There is now in the field as a candidate | Oy rottetown as to who they shall select for the Mayoralty one who is intimately | acquainted with civic affairs, one wi. las had long experience in the City Council. Consequently the sole reason why Mr. Haviland ‘felt disposed to again place him- self in nomination” has bsen removed. This being so, the next graceful act of Ilis Worship the Mayor—of seven years stand- ing—will be awaited with interest. Size of the Tunnel. Taw Charlottetown Board of Trade will disouss the question of the tunnel on Wed- neaday evening next. We are now all agreed as to the perfect feasibility of the tunnel. The point of the discussion Wed- nesdsy evening will be as to its siza. Sir Douglass Fox projected three tunnels. The question is, which of these will suftice for the reyuirements of our traffic / We shall not anticipate the speakers at the Board of Trade, further than to give a note of warning against demanding too much, with the probable reault of losing all. Tocontend for the larger tunnel is to give to those members of Parliament who will oppose the tunnel a strong ground of reason upon which to influence the minds of those other members who may be dis- posed to yield the boon we ask. The great fault of the speech which Mr. L. H. Davies delivered in the House of Commons last year was in this respect. Representatives of the interesis of Canada at large will look first of all to the estimated cost of the, 5 ro posed work. If this sh ouid seem to them to be excessin. ~ «v@ we may whistle mauy 4 — for our tunnel. But if it should ~ “seem to them to be reasonable, that is not involving a material addition to the bur- dens of our taxpsyers, the work may, sooner than we anticipate, be authorized by Parliament. The Bank of Rustico. Tas Examiner was authoritively in- formed on Friday last that the notes of the Bank of Rustico accumulated in the city banks were being redeemed, and that there were no grounds for the report then circu- lated. Wehave no doubt that this state- ment was made in good faith. But ic seems that, owing partially to the loss of confidence resulting from the report, the expectations of the cashier have not been realized. The consequence is that Rustico Bank bills are now received. It is stated that there are very few of them about town, and that the total liabilities of the Bank to the public do not amount to more than $7,000 or $8,000. The President and Cashier of the Bink assure the public that as the assets are disposed of, every one of of these liabilities will be met in full. Under the circumatances there seems to be no cause for fear of loss on the part of note-holders, though there may be, in a few instances’ seme temporary inconvenience. Rustico Bank has,we believe, outlived its usefulness. That is to say the conditions which ren der- ed i an advantage to the farmers of Rustico and vicinity have passed away- Ita charter will expire in a short time, aud perhaps, it is just as well that its affsirs heould now be finally woud up. —- <> ++ oo - - - Another Big Steal. Te reigning sensation in Quebec is the discovery of the ineans by which $100,000 were obtained by the party led by Mr. Lanurier's friends for use in the last Provin- eleetion. It appears that rumors have long been current to the effect that the lombermen in the Ottawa region were very freely bled by Mr. Mercier's agents and put wpa very handsome sum, on the under standing that they were to be recouped, For more than a week past Mr. E. Kemp, inspector of Crown lands and timber agencies for the Pro- vince of Quebec, has been in Hall investigating the affairs of the Crown timber office there. From what has been discovered and reported to the Dapart- ment at Quebec, it appears that the pro- wise to recoup the lumbermen has been carried out. The manner of recouping was by the remiasicn of fees on various pretexts, such remission being made on the rec -m- mendation of Mr. J. B. Charleson, chief forest ranger under the Mercier regime. Under the Grits, the Province of Quebec was bled at pore. 7 7? Tae concert in St. James's Church to- night promises to be the musical event of the season.

In the absence of the President, Thomas Handrahan, Esq., oecupied the chair. After thetransaction of some preliminary business, the following offizers were elect- ed : President—L. L. Beer, Eeq. Vice-President—P. Blake, Eeq. Secretary—B D. Higgs. Counci!—%. W. Crabbe, John Newson, F. H. Arnaul, Horace Haszard, L. Carvell, T. Handrahan, Hon. D. Farquharson, M. P. P., W.L Cotton.

Mr. Crabbe gave notice that at tha next meeting of the Board he would move that the membership fees be reduced from $5 to $2 per annum. After some conversation on the tunnel question, it was decided to lst the matter stand over until Wednesday evening next, when the whole subjact will come up for discussion Meeting adjourned.

Mr. Bruce Rogerson, brother of the groom, and Mr. Louis Whear of Char- lottetown, supported the groom, and Miss Ada Lord and Miss Bertie Laard, sister of the bride, acted as bridesmaids. Rev. A. W. Daniel performed the ceremony After the ceremony the party repaired to the residence of the bride's father to supper. We are informed the presents were numerous and cvstly. —_- — Burns Anniversary. Tae Scotch Concert in the Lyceum oa Monday evening next, is the leading topic, not only among the sons and daughters of the Heather, but other nationalities as well. The Burns’ anniversary concert will be undertheauspices of the Caledonian Club, an institution the members of which donated the whole amount of the proceeds of their concert of last winter, $150 towards th erelief of the poor and needy without distinction as to sect or nationality, thereby demonstrating the fact that charity is a prominent feature of their organization. That the grand success of next Monday evening’s concert is already assured may be fairly assumed by taking a glance at their excellent programme, not the less interesting part of which wiil be the new feature introduced by the appear- ance on the stage of Highland laddies iu full costume, headed by Piper Ferguson with his pibroch playing Scottish tunes. 7° —— Debt of Quebec Province. The Toronto Monetary Times says: ‘At the end of the last fiscal year, Jane 30, the total lisbilitics of the Province of Quebec were nearly thirty-Gve millions ($34,888,207) with nominal assets of $11,133,533. What ize certain is that there was a net debt over as- seta of nearly twenty-four millions ($23,748,- 654), but that the assets will cover the amount of the debt at which they stand is more than doubtful. In the last five ycars the Mercier Government increased the debt nearly thirteen millions of dollars. Io this respect it but followed in the line traced by its predecessors ; and it is quite clear that unless a_ radi. eal change of fiscal policy takes place, the ruin of the provincial finances is not far off When deficits become chronic, and when interest must be paid out of borrowed money, the spectre of bankruptcy appears at no great distance. Every increase of debt ought to have been accompanied witn # sp-cial pro- vision for ways and means to meet the in. terest. The debt ought never to have ex. tended to anything like its present dimensions, while the resources of the province are what they are. The government, instead of pro- viding ite own revenue, relied on successive raids _ the Dominion treasury to make good the waste of extravagance. But in the end this recourse was bound to fail, as fail it has, we hope for good.” -—_- Some Worps in Szason.—The Moncton Times says : The awful life destroying ef- fect of tubacco, as commonly used, is clear- ly shown in the premature death of Mrs. Mangin, of P. E Island, at the early age of 119 years. Mrs. Mangia was a smoker and not a chewer and had used the weed onty about 60 years or thereabouts. Tobacco is evidently a very rank, active and speedy poison. The circumstance re- minds one of the great danger incurred by people in going to bad. A_ celebrated writer points ous that nine out of ten of civilized human beings die in bed. No- thing can be clearer than that tobacco and beds should be religiously avoided by those who would live a couple of ceuturies or so. Try it!

Abbass, the new Khedive, was welcomed on his arrival on the shores of Egypt by « British fleet. The first thing he did after formally assuming his title was to review a Brivish regiment. England’s hold on Egypt has lost none of its firmneas by the death of Tewfik. There is a living precedent for the marriage (suggested with somewhat unbecoming haste) of Prince George to the Princess May, The present Emperor of Russia, who became heir to the throne on the death of his brether, the Grand Duke Nicholas, took to wife the Prin- cess Dagmar, daughter of the King of Den- mark, who had been his deceased brother's fianece. In this case the lady, who waa sail to have been devoted to the young Prince pre- maturely carried off, obeyed, we are told, bis dying request. It wasall the more difficult to acquiesce in the arrangement as Alexander had been the unintentional cause of his brother’s death. The union has, reverthe'ess, by general testimony, been exceptionslly happy. Hear Mr. Rice in St, James's Hall to- night. : DriLt, cN6o. 1 Battery G. A. meets fer drill to-night at 8 o'clock sharp.
