Voters must remember that the poll will close at Five p. m. Don’t think it will be open until seven, as it was the other day; and, by waiting too long, lose your votes.

APRIL 23, 1879.

The Blection To-morrow.

To-morrow the citizens of Charlottetown will vote for or against the application of the Canada Temperance Act. The result of the canvass indicates an overwhelming majority ‘ror THE PeTiTIoN.” Ail who have promised will, of course, vote. Those apt to forget will, we have no doubt, be re- minded, morning and noon, by their good wives or mothers at home. Everyone admits that the intemperate use of strong drink is a great evil; and even those who like to take a drop occasionally will, we think, vote ‘* for the petition” in order that the temptation to intemperance may be removed from those who indulge to ex- cess.

Opening of the Legislature.

Tue Legislature will open to-morrow at three o’cluck. The Herald of to-day makes the following remarks upon the occasion :—

** We have no doubt that the Governor's Speech will foreshadew a very considerable amount of good legislation to be carried through. ‘his legislation will, however, necessarily be more than anything else of a corrective nature. The late Government ran into such wild and reckless measures, that the Government which now sneceeds it will find their hardest task in correcting the errors of their predecessors. The king of misrule has had his days of power, and now that he has been deposed, the malad- ministration of his reign has to be rectitied. The most important ovject to be attained, and, indeed, the end which is most desired by the people, is to see the expenditure of the Province brought down tosomet‘iing like a decent proportion with the revenue. To effect this, reductions will have tobe made, and some very material changes made in the civil service. The late Government was, over and above all other vices, spendthrift in its habits. They taxed and they spent recklessly. Their officials were countless, and the people's money had to be raised to bay these office holders. We have no

oubt but that the pruning knife will be applied in this direction with juriicious severity. The faulty nature of nearly every act passed by the late Government will necessitate thorough revision, and well con- sidered amendments. The Act for the Regis- try of Votes, is a model uf clumsy and unsat- ielediey legislation, to which it would be difficult to find a parallel. It is an excel- lent Act as it stands for disfranchising a goodly number of voters, and for encourag- ing personation. Then again, there is the abolition of the Legislative Council, an —— demanding much wisdom and care.

fe have, however, this confidence in the agrees Government, that whatever they

o they will do after mature deliberation. They will not inflict on the country the crude ill-digested measures which formed the stape legislation of their predecessors. Herein, as we said before, rests the greatest difficulty, for it is easier to frame new measures than to tinker up and change old bungling Acts.

Russia, troubled greatly at home by Nihilism, gives many proofs of her desire to maintain peace withthe rest of the world for the present at’ least. She has withdrawn some of her troops from the country south of the Balkans. She has used her influence to put an end to the in- surrection in Macedonia. She has left the Ameer of Afghanistan to his own resources, and she has, it is said, surrendered Kuldja, a much valued position, to the Chinese. To this she was bound by terms of a treaty | with China; but nobody imagined ‘hat she would pay much regard to the Treaty, aad having once taken possession of the place, even in trust, it was believed that she would hold on to it, but China is no longer s> impotent as when the English and French marched to Pekin, and a war with China would just now tax the resources of Russia severely. )

Terrors of the Plague in Morocco. PARENTS EATING THEIR CHILDREN.— THE Air ImpReEGNATED WiTd THE Dravty Por- sONS EMINATING FROM THE UNBURIED. Norninc more horrible has ever been recorded than the ravages of the plague now raging in Morocco. A letter to a gen- tlemen in Washington, D. C., from the United States consul at Tangier, dated March 19, 1879, gives the following terrible account of the suffering from the famine and from starvation.

horror. ‘All who can are now running away from this most unfortunate country, where fam- ine, cholera and typhus have been and are still decimating its population. alone we are having from thirty to forty

Morocco the daily mortality by typhus is from 200 to 250 persons. death is complete. Parents eat their child- ren, and at Magador, Luff and Cassabianca the starving Arabs eat their dead. The atmosphere is impregnated with deadly puisons eminating from the thousands that are half buried and the many left out ex- posed to the sun and rain. The European residents take every precaution ; neverthe- less, nearly one half have already succumbed to the dreadful disease. The fatalist Mosl- ems ridicule all such expedients to avoid contagion, believing that all is written by God and that they must die if so decreed. The garments of the dead, by disease, are sold by auction for a trifle and put on to the wretched buyer, whe, soon after, is generally taken sick and follows in the wake of the former wearer. very much occupied, being president of the Morocco board of health, organizing lazar- etto hospitals. My daughter has been sick with fever and my eldest son with cholera ; but, thank God, we are all now and hope to escape the diseases surrounding us. At any rate I shall remain at my post and do my duty as far and as long as I am able.” —“ 2. a —~—

Famine in Egypt.

Mr. C. Rivers Wilson sends from Cario to the Times some particulars of the famine in Upper Egypt. He says :-—‘‘The low Nile of 1877 caused a great failure of the crops of 1878. The poor have sutfered much in the provinces of Girgeh, Keneh, and Esnch; many, especially old people and young children, have died in those dis- tricts, if not from actual starvation, at least from dysentery and other diseases brought on by insufficient or unwholesome food. Partly from the funds placed at the disposal of the two Englishmen who were good enough to act as agents of the Government, and partly from the funds raised by private subscriptions and applied by the local officials, many thousands of the population have been supported. In Girgeh, the only part of Upper Egypt where distress still remains, over 3,000 people are being fed daily, and will continue to be relieved until the end of the month, when the crops will be ripe. In Keneh the crops are now ripe and relief has been stopped. For the last three months nearly 5,000 people have been fed daily. In Esnch a large sum was col- lected among the wealthier class of the population, and was placed at the dispcsal of the Moudir for distribution.”

Cardinal Newman.

It has been decided that the great Ora- torian shall become a Prince of the Catholic Church, and there is as much rejoicing amongst the Catholics of Ireland as amongst those of England at having his great ser- vices thus rewarded. The Dublin ‘*Na- tion” published a sketch of his life and la- bors, dwelling especially on his labors in connection with the lrish Catholic Univers- ity, Which he assisted in establishing, and this sv gratified the Cardinal elect that he wrote to the editor of the ‘* Nation”:—

Tue Oratory, Birmingham, } March 9, 1879.

Dear Sir,—I have just received the ‘‘Na- tiop,”’ and have to thank you for the very kind notice of me you have inserted in its columns.

It is a great pleasure and satisfaction to me to have in any degree gained the kind feeling and good-will of the Irish people, whom | have sincerely wished to serve.

Your faithful servant, Joun H. Newman. To the Editor of the ‘‘ Nation” Newspaper.

Tue Royal Mail steamer ‘‘ Moravian” brought to this port 293 steerage and in- termediate and 22 cabin passengers. The 293 are mostly immigrants, and their des- tinations as obtained from Dr. Clay, Immi- gration Agent, are as follows :—

United States ‘ : ~ = Ontario, : ‘ ‘ . 168 Quebec, ; ; i . New Brunswick, . i . Nova Scotia, : ; 35

Those for the States have through tick- ets over the Intercolonial Railway, issued by Allan’s Agents, in Europe. One man had a ticket for Yokohoma via San Francis- co. The Canadian immigrants are under the care of Dr. Clay, are forwarded on the mail train, and are accompanied by Colonel Sumner, the veteran travelling Immigration Agent. The party seemed to be of good class, and if appearance can be taken for anything will make good settlers. Quite a number were Germans, Danes and Sweedes. —He. Herald.

GERMANY, we are now told, is watching the internal affairs of Austria very closely. Bismarck probably entertains stiil the hope of one day attaching the German portion of Austria to the new German Empire, but of late the desires of any poition of the Aus- trian Germans to exchange their compara- tively free Government for German despot- ism must have been greatly diminished. It is now said that Bismarck’s proteetion- ist policy does not find as much favor in Germany as he anticipated, and that a gen- eral election would not increase his strength in the German Parliament.

The Silver Coinage in Germany.

The Frankfort correspondent of the Standard telegraphs: ‘‘I hear that the Imperial Government contemplates an im- portant step with regard to the coinage of the Empire. A measure may shortly be proposed to the Federal Council empower- ing the Imperial Mint at Berlin to coin a large number of marks additional silver money. As the substitution of gold for silver coinage in the new German Eupire, and the sale of a vast quantity of silver by Germany have, among other causes, helped to depress the price of silver, and thereby greatly to disturb the financial relations be- tween Europe and the East, a substantial addition to the silver coinage of the Eim- pire can hardly fail to tend to some extent te restore the former equilibrium,”

A Lucky Canadian.

FALLS HEIR TO $7,500,000.

It is worth one’s while to be second con- sin tua millionaire, when all the other heirs-at-law are dead. Forty years ayo, i Oxenham, an English file maker, began te ‘save his pennies in Toronto, and when he

had $18,000 in bank he removed t» Lamb- ery County, where he bought large tracts of land and sold them at a profit. He finally settled down in the old homestead in a beautiful lucality on the old London Road, three miles from Wyoming Station, on.the Great Western Railway. Here he has lived quietly and peaceably for upward of a quarter of acentury. Last summer he i received a letter from an old friend in Barnstable, England, informing him that his second cousin, ex-Mayor Bembridge,had died without leaving a will; and thata large fortune was waiting the nearest of kin. As the Canadian squire was himself well off, he did not think it worth while to worry about the new estate. The other day, however, he received a letter from an English law firm, requesting his immediate presence in Barnstable, that he might be identified within one year of the death of \ex Mayor Bembridge, and thus save him- self the trouble of taking any proceedings in Chancery. There was no chance of any opposition, and he could enter into posses- sion at once. Accordingly, the venerable farmer started for home on Monday, and sailed for New York last Wednesday. He will inherit half of the personal property, which is worth $2,500,000, and all the real estate, worth $5,000,000. The old gentle- man is so enamoured with his Canadian home that the style and comforts of an English gentleman's town and country man- sions and domains do not tempt him to stay in the old land. His son, who has a large family of boys, will eventually take posses- sion of the English estate.
