New London and Crapaud.

A wrir has been issued for an election to fill the vacancy in the House of Assembly eavsed by the resignation of Mr. James M. Satherland—-nomination on 22nd May ; election on the 29th.

It has transpired that Mr. Sutherland addressed his resignation to the Speaker before he left the Province, and placed it in the hands of one of his friends to be de- livered. But it was not delivered. It was deliberately withheld until] its production should be considered ‘‘in the enterest of the party.”

The clear inference from -this is that if the McLeod Government had remained in power, and if there seemed to be a danger that Mr. Haslam would be elected to strengthen Mr. McLeod’s hands, Crapaud and New London would have been unrepresented by its junior member throughout the session of 1891. In other words, the Grit Party in this Province were prepared to trample upon the electoral rights of the people of New London and Crapaud, to the end that they might ‘ob- tain a little party advantage. ++ -——

Notes and Comments.

—We note with pleasure that Mr. Strang’s letter to Toe EXamiNner is being copied and commented upon by the press of the neighboring provinces. The Monc- ton Times remarks: ‘*The advantages of quick and regular communication are al- most beyond calculation, especially to the people of the Island, and while it may be that Mr. Strang is over sanguine, his letter is deserving of attention.”

~The Ottawa Free Press complains that ** Canadian consumers of kerosene oil are obliged to pay twenty-eight cents per gallon for oil which can be purchased in the United States at eleven cents per gallon.’ Qn which the St. John Sun remarks that the conduct of the Canadian consumers is, to say the least singular. As the duty is only seven cents per gallon it would seem that the extra seventeen cents price must be due to some other cause than the tariff. This much should be said in fairness to Sir Richard Cartwright, who fixed the oi! duties at the present rate.

— The Press, of New York, admits that there are thousands of acres of abandoned farma in New England, and declares that the causes are: 1. The cheapening of trans- portation, so that the products of vast ag- ricultural regions in the West are brought Eastward in such abundance as to over- whelm the farmer who toils amid the rocks and stumps of a New England hil'side. 2. The enormous development of manufac- turing industries in New England, which: offer both to capital and labor better re- turns than farming under the changed con- ditions,

—~ The Montreal Gazette, having express- ed its opinion that the Dominion Govern- ment should abolish the duty on raw sugar —a revenue and not a protective duty—the s*pient Opposition organist asserts that pro- tectionist papers will not favor the sugges- tion because ** they have got it into their heads that we ought to huld fast to every feature of the N. P.” The duty on raw sugar ‘a feature of the N. P.” § This is news, indeed. The Liberal merchants who read the Opposition organ must be highly edified at this display of commercial know- edge,

A London dentist is using electricity in tooth extraction. He finds that when his ** vibrator” is sending an electric current through his patient he suffers absolutely no pain. His explanation is that electricity travels over the nerve at the rate of 420 vibrations & second, while pain travels from the tooth to the brain in one sixtieth of 4 second, Electricity being so much quicker, and having the greatest force behind it, gets to the brain first, and then keeps the line to itself, crowding out the pain. We think some would prefer the pain of old-

fashioned tooth-pulling to the modern elec- tric shock.

—Influenza continues to 5 out England. A large number of members of the House of Commons are now ill. The committse on the Manchester Railway bil] has been obliged to suspend its sittings for a week owing to the malady attacking com- mittee _members, counsel and witnesses. The epidemic is worse ix Yorkshire, Lanca- shire and the Midland oounties. Children who were but slightly effected in the epi- demic of 1890 furnish & host of cases, Deaths, though, are fewer compared with the number of seizures. The Lancet says -he progress of this year's epidemic cannot

compared with the rapidity with which the epidemic of 1890 swept over the con-

tinent.

airbairn, of Montreal, in his handsome canton uniform, brought up the rear.

The dedication ceremony was wit- nessed by a great number of people, and was very imposing. The names of thuse assisting in this part of the

proceedings have already been published. The new hall is well-arranged, handsomely furnished, and in every way a credit to Prince Edward Lodge and to the fraternity in general,

The special train was in charge of Con- ductor Bro, James R Mackie, with Driver Nelson Armour as master of ceremonies in the cab. With two such obliging and cap- able officials in charge, it is, perhaps, need- less to say that everything passed off well. The decorations of the engine came in for a good!y share of attention in Charlotte- town, at Summerside, and in fact all along the line. They certainly were very artistic

The concert in Market Hall, with which the proceeding were brought to a close, was very successful, ‘There was a large attend- ance. Miss Earie’s rendition of the solos ‘*: That Melody Divine,” and ‘*When the Pansies Come Again,” the first mentioned number taking the place of the song to have been given by Rey. Mr. Lloyd, was excellent. Indeed, many present thought she never appeared to better advantage. Mrs. A. A. MeLean also sung well, her selection being *‘ In Old Madrid.” Master Harry Anderson, always a favourite, sus- tained his reputation. The cornet and clarionet duet ‘‘Hear me Norma,” by Messrs. Fietcher and Knight, was capitally played, and in response to a very impera- tive encore they gave *‘Down Upon the Swanee River,” Mr. Knight’s clarionet solo was also well given. Mr. Chester B. Mac-

neill gave & very interesting reading, taking the place of Mr. W. A. Weeks, who was unable to be present. he ‘*Dogherty Fusileers” were put

threugh their drili in a very amusing inanner, ** bringing down the house.” As an encore, the ‘*American Army ”—two broken down, irregular-looking individuals —were introduced. whose instructur, a colored ‘*pusson” in gorgeous array, handled them in very arbitrary style. The second part of the entertainment con- sisted of a minstrel scene. The different songs, jokes, etc., were very well given, the finale being ‘*Down on de camp ground.” Rev. W. W. Brewer was down for an address, but asthe rev. gentleman was too unwell to take his place this part of the proceedings had to be omitted. Che music by the orchestra, under the leadership of Mr. W. A. Hawley, was ex-

cellent, as were also the accompaniments by Messrs. Hawley, Earle and Tanton.

The concert was over by half-past ten o'clock, and about half an hour later the excursionists from Charlottetown were on their way home, all well pleased with the manner in which the day had been passed. The train reached the city shortly before two o'clock this morning.

A correspondent at Sarhoe writes that on the morning of February 3rd upwards of three thousand workmen collected at Pozo Almonte in order to proceed to Iquique aud make a formal representation respect- ing the scarcity of provisions. Shortly after they reached the works Manager Wil- liam Johnson gave them ten barrels of bis- cuits and 1,000 tins of preserves, which

remained there that night, and on the fel- lowing day sent some of their leaders to Negreyros. There more men were to be colleeted.

Suddenly, however, a train appeared loaded with Government troops, under Martin Darram. Without halting or par- leying, the troops opened fire on nine hundred defenceless workmen, women and children. Shortly afceward the forces marched forward and _ kill- ed all the men. Meanwhile the men from the Negreyos works, with the commissioners from Ramirez, returned to their houses. Otherwise they might also have fallen victims. Some who escaped from the slaughter took refuge in the nitrate fields, but were subsequently followed up and killed. After these deeds had been committed some 890 men were arrested, and of this number eighteen were murdered. The Chilian Gov- ernment and the Chilian rebel authorities

The Art Marketin Canada.

(New England Magazine for April.) The commercial idea is still supreme in Canada—it excludes higher ideals and in-

terests, The Canadians, asa people des- pise the arts, either painting, music or literature, because art is not a Yoad to wealth ; and the social scheme in Canada is composed of concer.tric circles, with . the railroad hierarchy and the millionaires in the middle. Of course, the wealthy mer-

through art dealers in London and Paris, | and they buy only the works of artists who are already distinguished. They buy such pictures, often, as they buy unblemished diamonds ; there is no possibility of risk, and there is a probability of gain, in any future transactions. Their standard of | excellence is the market price.

There is no art in a conntry until there’ is a mare or less leisured class—not neces- sarily an aristocracy, bu: assuredly not a | dollar-mad plutocracy, absorbed in the affairs of the marts. This class attracts at- tention by its ostentation, and is often credited with festering the arts. This isa. mistake. This spasmodic purchasing of ; pictures at surprising figures does not en- | courage ligitimate art. It only tends to unsettle the true ideals of art, and open avenues of success for a bastard art, made fashionable by adventitious means. A Canadian collector in showing you his treasures will say, ‘* It cost ten thousand

i

dollars |” There is nothing more to be said. he price is the criterion of all things.
