PHB DAILY EXAMINER.

JANUARY 13, 1898.

BOARD OF TRADE,

Tue ‘comprehensive and able address delivered by the President, shows the importance of the work of thi, jestKation and the neeessity for its con- tieced maintainance a8 a representative aad expooent and promoter of the commer- cial interests of thie Provioce. Iil- sapported as it has been in the past, it has yet been the means of bringing abou! changes fraught with incalculable beneti- of our people. Mr.gHaezard points ou amcog other things, that it was the Board of Trade which suggested the sending to this Province of Professor Robertson to establish the dairy industry. Mr. L. L. Beer, who commented upon the president’s address, last evening, implied that this fact moutralized the credit in this regard which has heretofore been given the late Govern. wumeatof Canada. It does nothing of the kied. On the contrary it is the more creditable to the late Government that they edopted the suggestion of the Board ot Trade, representing the commercial faterests of the Province, notwithstanding the fact that Mr. Beer and others had combined to send to Parliament a majority from this Province to oppose them. It shows that the late Gevernment loeked to the good of the country, and not merely to the promotion of party interests or the re- cognition of party services. We certaiuly ebhall aot try to discount the credit that wil! be due to our present Liberal Govern— meot—even though it has been given a majority from this Province—if it shall in like manuer adopt the suggestion of the Board of Trade as to a second winter steamer, direct communication between Priuce Edward [sland aud Great Britaia, wth cold storage accommodations,xtension of the railway, and other improvements, the necessity for which is forcibly and clearly set forth by the President of the Board of Trade. Itis pleasing to note thet the Boardtook instant action with reepect to a second winter sieamer and we trast that the efforts of its commiitee may be rewarded within the present year. If the Liberal-Conservatives had remained in power, and Senator Ferguson remained in the Government, we should, without doubt, have had a second winter steamer ere this. Sir Louis Davies knows wel] the weed of a second winter steamer; and the action of the Board is calculated to @treogtben his bands when this oeed to his reluctant and careless colleagues.

last evening,

NOTES AND COMMENTS. —

—Such is the poverty of the Liberal party a9 to suitable men or such the scramble for the place, that the Govern- eaeot are compelled to postpone the ap- poiatment of a Governor of the Northwest Territories. Judge Richardson is in the «meantime acting a+ Administrator.

+ ‘t appears that no date has yet beeu fixed for the goveroment taking over the BDrammond county railway. Mr. Blair is, it is said, detertnined not to assume control ot the road until it is put in such a con- ditieu as to withstand the heaviest traific’ aod this, it is said, some of the prerent bridges on the road will not do. ‘hey will.save to be rebuilt.

—Although New South Wales canto’ b cousidered an important manuf.cturing country, this sourse of national wealth bas by vo mean’ beea neglected. During the year 1895 there were 2,409 manufactories er works of various descriptions, employing altogether a total of 43,333 bande, of whom 39,987 were males, and32416 females. 1,852 of these works ‘had machinery in operation of 4 total capacity of 42,349 horse-power, of which 31,802 borse-power was aciually u-ed darieg the year, the plant being valued at about £5,855,129. ‘Lhe average value of qlaat per estabiishment was £2,421: and ahe average horse-power 2°.', of whi i 17.2 was actually used. % s¢ hands per factory averagei 18, the average in the metropolis being 28, and in the country abcut 12. Compared with the scale ou

‘which manufactories are worked in the older countries of the world, there figures anpear emal!l, but they should evoke no surprise when the nature of the works aod cheaparsenecs of che population througu- oat a large portion of the culony are taken jiate consideration.

Why should this one great Canadian in-| dustry be destroyed for wantof 12 per| cent pretection, whilea hundred others are protected to the extentof double and treble that arnount? Aod why should we destroy a Canadian industry that is giving | ov! farmers the cheapest binder twine in the world, and hand over our markets to

ESTEEMED EXCHANGES.

Mofttreal Gazette: That circumstantial evidence has again been illustrated iu the case of Allison, the murderer of Mrs. Orr, near Galt. Noone but the murderer saw the crime committed. The evidence at the tria! showed that nu man but the man convicted could have committed it. Now ibe murderer confesses, and shows that only as regards the motive for the crime did the prosecution make a mistake, Brooding over what he thought was a slight, Allison avenged his wrong by a wantonly cruel murder, and was justly convicted.

Ottawa Citizen: Alexander Me'ville Bell is a gay youth of seventy-eight scmmers. His first wife died fourteen months ago. The Professor felt his loses keenly, and, like other men whoare not professors or scientists, he droppad into poetry. A fearful drop that is when one is not born a poet. Even at that date he had his eye on a prospective No. 2, but he makes himself solid with the ghost of No. 1 by concluding his obituary poem with this stanza;

Dear, sainted wife, your memory Shall be forever green;

E’en though another’s love shal] come, It shall not step between.

A day ortwo ago he married a Mrs. Shibley, of Harrowsmith, Ont. Those who wish domestic felicity to reign in the Bell household will not send a marked copy of = ee poem to the present Mrs.

—St. John Sun: It must be remember- ed that the pronouncement of the pope is not the result of ‘an appeal from the Liberal-Conservatives of Canada. The late government never sent a delegate to Rome. The late* @dministration never appealed to the Pope to send a delegate to Canada. No Liberai- Conservative solicitor general personally appeared before the papal coancil, or the Supreme Poatiff with

a brief tor his gecvernment and his party. Neither Sir Jobo A. McDonald, nor Sir Johr Ab-

bott, nor Sir John Thompson, nor Sir Mackenzie Bowell, nor Sir Charles Tupper cause the London solicitor of the govern- ment to go to the Holy City to appear as counsel fur Canada before His tolinese. Before Sir Wilfrid Laurier became premier of Canada it was supposed that the sover- eign of the British empire, her ministry aod the Imperial parliament, were the on'y authorities to which Canada need appeal. It is the Laurier ministry that has apreal- elto Caesar. What will it do with Caesar’s decree?

THE POPE'S FENCYCLICAL,

—_——

(Montreal Star )

Tie Pope’s Epcyclical Letter on the Manitoba schoo! question is an admiralle the church’s point of view. It is dignified and kindly. iikeall the utterances of Leothe Thirteenth; and it is in good taste, for the Pope simply addresses himself to bis own flock as its chief pastor and makes no pretence to dictate, directly or indirectly, to the civil power. He condemns the Manitoba provincial «chool legislation as “a blow at Catbolic education,” and he condemns Sir Wilfrid Laurier’s Compromise as ‘“‘de- fective, unsuitable and insufficient.” He declares that “if anything is granted by law, or custom, or the good will of men,

eapseee

that will render theevil more tolerable or the dungers more remote, it is expedient and useful to make use of such conces~ sions.” Ip case no remedy can be obtain- ed, he exhoris Catholics to supply the Catholic chi dres of Manitoba with educa tion bv their own liberality aud mun- ificence.

This appeal to the liberalily and munifi- cence of Catholics is the only part of the Encyclical that seems like by now to have much etfect upon the school situation in Monitoba. It is not probable that the echool question will ever again become a great party issue in C:nadian politics. Non-Catholics are heartily tired of the subject; they are not and naturally never were auxious that Manitota children should be brought up in the Roman Catholic faith. Many of them voted for the remedial bill simply froma eenee of justice to large section of the people of Canada, the Roman Catholic; and as these, by a large majority, rejected this remedial legislation, they naturally feel delicate about attempting to force upon their Catholic friends religious privileges that they de not want. The French Ca- nadians voted against the remedial bill for reasons that seemed good and sufficient to them; perhaps not at all for the same reasons. Whether Esau sold his birthright for amess of potiage because he uader- valued the birthright or overvalued the pottage makes no difference to the validity of the transaction.

Unless Sir Wilfrid Laurier feels bound in courtesy to take cognizance of the Encyclical, it will scarcely come up for diecussien in Parliament, The Coaserva- tives did not seek the Pope’s intervention did nut ask for the appointment of a Papal delegate to deal with the question, and as a party are notlikely to te affected one way orthe other by the decision. Sir Wilfrid asked for the judgment of the Holy See, and has got it. As the Premier is never wanting in courtesy, he will probably acknowledge its receipt, andere it filed carefully away among the archives of the Department or State. The appoint- ment of the Papal Delegate, having already served Sir Wilfrid’s turn, he will natural- regret that the Pope has taken #0 much trouble in the matter.

A Crazep Ox.—The Dorehes er Spectes tor says: Last Monday wiuile W.Y. Buck, of Dorchester Cape, was slaughtering ove of a pair cf oxen on hia baro floor with the doors open, the companion ox of the one slaughtered, which was turned out of the stabie fcr water, cavght sigbt of the deap ox, and rushed apparently in deep sym- pathy to his dead mate. After the ox had taken afew sniffs of the blood he become furious. Anattempt was wade to drive the crazed animal back into the stable,bui while doiog*o he grew more fran~ tic and throwing his tail into the air, @tart- ded for the weods bellowing loud'y,regard- less of feuces and a large gate which: the animal carried away in his course. A Frenchman who was working in the words near where the ox passed, seeing the track, mistook it for the traii of a moose and after securing a gun, proceeded to follow the track; bat upon sighting the game through the bush, was afraid to fire. The frantic ox isstill at large in the woods.

A widely circulated story that Prince Arthur of Connaught is young Astor’s fag at schoo] was, it was stated, somewhat unnecessarily, made out of whole cloth in New York. The U. S. public is also respectfully informed that the boys in the English schools do not black boots, light tires, or do other housemaid’s work. But the original myth was too ingenious and daring for the mejority of New York- ers not to continue tu believe it.
