Right Men to Suppert.

Amup the corruption and rascality which

have lately been exposed at Ottawa,and the charges and counter-charges which are still being preferred, one strong fact stands out clear : the right meu to support are now at the head of affairs. The Premier and Sir John Thompson—admittedly pure honest, as well as able men themselves— have adopted a policy with respect to the country at large, and the boodlers in par- ticular, which all patriotic and honest men must approve. While holding to the course in respect to trade which only is consistent with the best interests,—aye, even with the ndependence of the Canadian people, they have promoted a free and fu)] investigation into all the shameful facts of the Tarte- McGreevy case and the case of Mercier, Pacaud and other embezzlers in respect to the Baie des Chaleur railway ; they have promptly dismissed the wrong-doing offi- cials who have been exposed; and they have shown that it is their p licy to visit with condign punishment every person, high or low, who has been or may be found to be guilty of political corruption. They propose to deal out ever-handed justice

and

without fear, favor or affection. The mea- sure which the Premier introduced, yester- day, forthe prevention of frauds in con- nection with the public service, is timely, and the object of the bill will be heartily approved by men of all classes and puirties throughout the country.

The position of the Liberal-Conservative Leaders is vastly superior to that of the Liberal Leaders.Mr. Laurier is in the toils of the Boss of Q 1ebec,and his acquiescence in the flight of Pacaud proves that he is, at all events, quite willing that corrupt and embezzling Grits shall escape the heavy arm of law and justice. Sir Richard Cart- wright’s relations witd Wiman are much too intimate to be pleasing to the people of Canada; and he looks to the United States rather than to Canada for the “sign by which to conquer.” Neither Laurier nor Cartwright have the undivided support of the Liberal Party. The Liberal Party is, indeed, rent and torn by reason of thecon- flicting ideas and interests of its leaders, as well as by the rascalities which have been brought home to many of its members. Bat the Liberal-C mservative Party is solid

in its allegiance to Abbott and Thompson. These are the right men

to support.

Wealth in the States.

PEOPLE in the States seem to be prosper- ing,—even though they have a National Policy. By the latest census returns it appears that the total wealth of the States in 1890 was $62,610,000,000. This is a very large absolute increase since 1880, and aiso a very large increase per capita. The best way to appreciate the significance of the increase ia by making comparisons. England heretofore, accounted the richest country in the world, has a body of accu- miulated wealth which is placed by the most recent estimates, that of Robert Giffen, at £10,000,000,000, or $48,000,000, - 000, which is $14,610,000,000 less than that of the United States. The fact is of course to be taken into consideration that the United States has a population of up- ward of 62,000,000, while the population of the United Kingdom is only 38,000,000; so that the per capita wealth of the United Kingdom is still considerably greater than that of the United States. Onthe other hand, there is a more even distribution of wealth in the United States than in Great Britain, sv that the comforts which wealth procures are within reach of a larger proportion of the population, and the general average of human happiness, so far as it is affected by

wealth, is higher in the United States than in the United Kingdom. The census bul- letin states that the absolute wealth per capita in the United States is now about $1,000, as against $308 in 1850, $514 in 1860, $870 in 1880. According to Giffen, the per capita wealth of the United King- dom is equal to $1,245, and that ef France is equal to $1,095. There has been a heavy decrease in one branch of wealth in Eng- Jand during the past decade—that com- prised in lands, while in the United States the general tendency of land values has been strongly upward. If the present rate of progression should be kept up it seems probable that the people of the United States willere long be richer per capita than any other in the world. They *‘ go in” for making money; and **Protection” seems to “help them along” faster and to distribute the wealth more evenly than Free Trade does in England. But they don’ty‘ stand round” and grumble, and run down their country and their tariff. They scheme and they work. They do.

| St. John and Charlottetown.

EXAMINER. |

Tue result of the re-count in St. John | will be looked forward to with interest. | All the facts which give rise to disbelief in ithe census of St. John exist in Charlotte- town. There are a larger number of houses, a larger proportion of houses are occupied, the crowds on the streets are larger, the

school rooms are more crowded, Every observant and impartial man whom we have met agrees in opinion with THe

EXAMINER that there has—instead of a decrease—been a considerable increase of population in Chariottetown in the past ten years. There must have been a mis- take either in the count of 1881 or the count of 1891, or else the population of the Royalty was included in the count of 1881 and excluded from that of 1891.

Notes and Comments.

> >

—The Montreal Herald says the Tories are greatly worried over the decrease in some localities shown by the census. Whereupon the Gazette remarks that this is where the Tories are at a disadvantage compared with their opponents. Judging by their newspapers, the liberals are greatly pleased over the aforesaid decreases.

—We learn that the farmers of Lots 28 ani 29 are talking vf having a fair and cattle show at the Crapaud driving park during the present autumn. As they are far from railway facilicies, they cannot bring their cattle to Charlottetown, and they will thus be enabled to exhibit their stock among themselves. We understand that a meeting will be called, as soon as the har- vest is in, for the purpose of fixing the date, appointing managers and judges, and mak- ing all arrangements.

—The stationary character of the rural populations in the older settlements of Canada, as well as of the United States, is —says the Montreal Gazette—one of the consequences of the development of agri. cultural machinery and in a lesser Gegree uf the extension and consolidation of rail- way systems. The country village has about given up the struggle against the great commercial centres and slowly falls into decay, while upon the farm the reaper and binder and thresher supply the place of the manual labour of a day gone by.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR,

—_—

The School Beok Exchange.

Sim,—In your issue of the 28th ult., there appears a paragraph in which you state, by request of Mr. Seaman, that an

agreement was made with the Superinten- dent of Education to the affect that in con- sideration of au introductory price] being offered, only Royal readers with ‘** backs properly attached, and leaves not loose,

turn, or missing” were to be taken in ex- change for books of the new series. This

meaus in effect that I saw fit to set aside the written agreement made between Mr. Gage and the Board of Education, cated Nov. 19th, 1890, wherein it is stated that ** the teacher of each school or-secretary of the Board of Trustees is :o be judge whether or not the Roysl Readers in the hands of pupils are sufticiently complete for the exchange.”

I wish to state most emphatically that no such agreement was made with Mr. Gage as is published in the paragraph referred to. Mycircular to the teachers, issued a!most simultaneously with Mr. Gage’s, is sufficient proof that in arranging the de- tails of the exchange no departure was made from the spirit of the agreement afore- said, for itis there distinctly stated that each teacher is ‘‘absolute judge” as to what books are fit for exshange.

The concession of & special rate was made rather to facilitate the introduction of the readers, and in lieu of a more expen- sive method of exchange. Yours, &c,,

Porics Court.—This morning a young man named Henry Clinton was sentenced to pay a fine of $20 or go to jail for one month for assaulting John Heber, a Lower Queen Street saloon keeper. He took the month. The assault was committed in May last. Clinton left town when he heard the warrant for his arrest was in the hands of the police and did not return until Wed- nesday night. Yesterday the warrant was executed. One drunk was fined $14 or dsys. The case of a man summoned on complaint of the Sanitary Officer for allow- ing filth to accumulate on his premises, was adjourned until Monday to give the defendant an opportunity of abating the nuisance.

A Preasant MEETING.—The Methodist Ministers of this district, nearly all of whom are Englishmen, had a very pleasant ‘‘Englishman’s Re-union,” at the Osborne House last night. About twenty-five per- sons, including the clergymen and their Wives and some invited guests, sat down to table which was spread in ‘‘mine host’s? usual excellent style. Rev. W. W. Brewer presided. After doing full justice to ‘the good things provided,” the iutellectual portion ef the programme was proceeded with. Toasts were drank and suitably responded to, and Rev. W. J. Kirby favored those present with a vocal golo “The Englishman.” A very pleasant even- was brought tu a close with the doxology.

KILLED By A Pinte Driver.— Oa Saturday last while at work helping to kepair a bridge near North Lake, Patrick Dunphy, of Pair- field, Lot 47, received injuries from which he died. He and some others were engaged pile driving. In attempting to move the pile driver a few feet further along the bridge, it toppled over falling tull length upon the un- fortunate msa,crushing in his ribs and pianing him to the ground. He was at once cared for and everything done to relieve him that was possible under the circumstances, bat after lingering in great agony about thirty-six hours, death came to his relief. He was a married man about 65 years of age. Super- visor Mooney was present inspecting the work at the time the pile driver fell, and was also very near receiving serious injury from it,

I am, sir, your obedient servant, J. JouNson, Commisssioner of Customs. —~O + Bee Horse Notes.

—

There was a big attendance at the Maine State Fair on Wedneaday. The race- track was heavy, and the weather was hot. The three-minute race had eleven starters. among which were Loafer of Prince Edwaid Island and Leavett’s Merry Bird of Pem- broke. Tum King of Skowhegan won in three straight heats in 2,362, 2.377, 2.36}, with J. P. Bass’ Orin second. Loafer was third and Merry Bird fourth. Mack F. did not start. Merry Bird is a four-year. old by Jay Bird, and took first prize at. the fair, scoring three points more than any horse entered. Leavett only asks $20,- 000 forhim, In the 2.28 class there were seven starters, pacers and trotters, among them Speculation and Ganymede. The race was won by the paeer Bayard Wilkes, of Lewiston, in three straight heats after the first heat, which was taken by another pacer, Erwin, M., with Speculation a good second. Ganymede beat Speculation on the last three heats and won third mone Speculation fourth. Time, 2.30, 2 247, 2.283, 2.26. Speculation trotted a game race, but the side wheelers were too much for him. Sir Charles has more admirers than any horse at the meeting. Mack F. starts in the race to-day.

At the Grand Circuit meeting at the Phi'delphia Driving Park on Wednesday, in the free-for-all, pacers, the first heat looked like a dead heat between Johnston and Hal Pointer. The judges gave it to the latter. In the third heat Ha! Pointer came in second, bleeding at the nose, Yola Maid was also sick and was drawn in the fourth heat. Hal Pointer was drawn after the fourth heat and Johnston had a walkover in the fifth. N. T. H. won the 2.23 race, a purse of $1,000, best time, 2.20}. The free-for-all purse of $1,000 was won by Johnston, best time, 2.15}. Hal Pointer did the rst heat in 2.12. Katich won the 2.29 purse of $1,000, best time, 2.24} by Agnes M. and Deputy Katie L., best time, 2.27}. Fred S. Wilkes won one heat in the 2.26 purse of $1,000, best time, 2.233.

All that is wanted to ensure the succes of the opening races at Souris Driving Park on the 26th inst., is fine weather. The managers will see that everything else 1s all right. The programme includes three

races, Viz., & green race, purse $30; thrae- i) Apply to

Thousande of dollars will change hands in Maine as bets were made two to one in Nelson’s fa- vor. This news is reported received by a personal telegram from Mr. Nelson.

The races at Union Park, New Glasgow, N.S., on the 16th promise to be very suc- cessful. The entries for the stailion race are as follows :
