THE DAILY EXAMINER. : JUNE 7, 1893 ‘ Notes and Comments

Governor Flower, of New York,thinks Mr. Cleveland will get «a nomination for another term of the Presidency if he wants it

The Boston News is responsible for the statement that President Cleveland has dropp-d fifry thousand dollars by an in- vestment in a Maine pulp mill.

The Gazette reminds delegates to the Liberal Convention at Ottawa that they

must not blow out the gas in the hotels at night, and that they cannot light their con- vention cigars at the electric light la nps.

The New York World says: ‘* In one of his state papers Benjamin Harrison took cecasion to denounce the frequent ‘lyach- ing of colored men in the Southern States.’ Perhaps the ex President will now inform the country what he thinks of the frequent lynching of white men in the Northern States of Indiana, Michigan and Kansas,’

In Madrid the press is opposed toa suggested ceasion of the Canary Islands to Great Britain in return for Gibraltar, the belief bsing that Eagland will yet give the great fortress back for an indemnity re- presenting the smount spent on its defensive works. Building castles in Spain is a thing peop!e of all climes are prone to fall into, but this idea of the Madrid press indicates that itis an art in which the dreamy Span ards excel all their rivals.

The Montreal Star, which reports the meeting of the grit convention in that city quite fully, svys thers were ** just twenty electors present, iacluding half a dozen press men " This ia not a very alarming gathering in a ci:y of two hundred and fifty thousand people, sad entitled to send probably five members to the next parliament. Evidently liberalism of the Laurier-Mercier-Cartwright kind is at as low ap ebb in the commercial metropolis of the Dominion as anywhere else.

-The Empire points out that support- ers of Mr. McCarthy, Mr. Laurier and Count Mercier continue to deal with com- bines—of the American monoply type— which they claim to exist in Canada. The only one knows of is the Whitney coal deal engineered by the Grit Government of Nova Scotia. Its results have lately been summed up as follows :

1 Increased price of coal to the coal con- sumers.

2. Decreased prices tothe coal carrier.

3. More oppressive conditions to the min- ers.

4. Loss of market to the farmers and lecal dealers.

5. Increased taxation to the ratepayers of Cape Breton to make good the municipal tax- ation which the monoply refuses to pay.

—L'Electeur is author of a report that at the coming Liberal convention the an- neuncement will be made that Sir Oliver Mowatt, Mr. Fielding, Premier of Nova Scotia, and Mr. Blair, Premier of New Brunswick, will before the next election retire from their present positions and enter the field of federal politics with the intention of overthrowing the Dominion Government, The Montreal Gazette says it will be a matter of surprise to the country if L’Electeur’s prediction is fuitilled. It will be a greater matter of surprise, if it is fulfilled, if the Liberals do not get a worse thrashing than they did in 1891. Mr Fielding is the man who ran a provincial campaign in Nova Scotia on a secession platform, A Dominion political party that makes a Confederation smasher one of its chiefs is on the way to get more emashirg than its looks for.

—The Montreal correspondent of the Empire says that in connection with the illness of the venerable Bishop Bond, it is gratifying to see the evidences of Christian sympathy which the Roman Catholics of that city have publicly offered to their Protestant fellow citizens. Lua St. Patrick’s Roman Catholic church, where the con- gregation is largely of Irish descent, prayers have been offered up for the bishop. Le Monde, « French-Canadian organ, in « sympathetic reference, recalls an interesting historical event which many pero. may uever have heard of. When Bishop Mountain, whose great name and life we need not comment upon, first arrived in Quebec, Mer. Briand went on board the ship that brought him, kissed him on both cheeks, wished him welcome, aud declared himself happy to know that thenceforward the Protestant people of the city would not be without their spiritual adviser. Nor has that noble spirit decreased since oa either side.

—Are our druggists auch a bad set of citizens as the public would be led to believe by sueh annoymous letters as “Citizen” writes in the Guardian? When a “Citizen” undertakes to use such words as ‘fraudulently palming off as genuine,” ‘‘reprehensible practices,” ‘** exorbitant prices,” ‘tampering with human life for the sake of gain,” etc., against such respect- ed citizens as Messrs. Dodd, Hughes, Rankin, Watson, Reddion, Johnson and Davies, he should,to carry weight and show his sincerity, append his name to his literary productions. Our opinion of our druggists is not in accord with ‘**Citizen’s.” We would regret the various agitations of late affecting the druggists did we not believe them to be honorable mem- bers of an honorable calling, and did we not know that the sympathy of the public generally in their favor is being streng- thened by such newspaper publications as the one we are now commenting upon. It is all very well—it is right—for citizens to be anxious that druggists sell pure liquors. As a matter of fact, the public expect to get pure liquors at the drug stores, if they get them anywhere. But “Citizen” should be careful not to allow his extreme views upon the alcohol question to lead him into “‘calling names behind the fence”—any person can do that

rn a ee Nihilist Papers Found.

Paris advices state that the nihilist Sawcki, alias Lieturski, who killed himself some time ago, left a bundle marked ‘‘to be destroyed ” Both the Russian consular-general and the nihilist’s family :laimed the papers, and the officers who seized them were allowed to keep them only under protest while the courts were hearing the complaints, The consul-general based his claim to the papers on the ground that they undoubtedly contained valuable information of nihilists’ plots end orgeriza- tions in Russia. The family wished merely to destroy the papers as Sawcki had directed The sourt of appeal have decided that the papers must go to the consul-general .

An attorney for 4 number of creditors said the liabilities were $250,000 and the assets $200,000. The failure is said to be caused by poor collection and a tight money market.

Kansas City, June 5.—A despatch from Hutchinson, Kan., says: The suspension of the Kansas Grain Co. is due to the inability of the company to extend its paper in Kansas City. The aseets are $150,000 and the liabil- ities $102,000.
