Tne Fishery Award.

THE PATRIOTS ABSURD PROPOSAL.

Tae Putriot’s proposition to hand over the Island’s share of the Fishery Award to the Local Government is so absurd that it is really not worthy of any attention. there was no mail last night and matter is sumewhat scarce, we may be excused if we ventilate it—just a little.

By the Dominion Government,the money will be expended-—under the ‘supervision 0° the Minister of Marine and Fisheries-—in improving our harbors, increasing the number of our lighthouses,and,generally, in making it safer and more convenient for the fishermen who frequent our coast. Perhaps, t»0, a portion will be laid out in building a branch line of railway to improve our con- nections with the mainland, and to render the crossing of the straits easier and more rapid. At any rate we may rest as- sured that it will be legitimately and properly expended on permanent works of advantage to the public at large; and that it will be expended under the direction of the ablest and most experienced Prince Ed- werd Islande* now living.

But suppose the Patriot's proposition be adopted, how will the money be expended ! It will be expended in prolonging the exist. ence of our cumbrous and expensive Local Civil Service. It will give the Legislative Councillors something to pick at, an’, doubtless, postpone the inevitable abolition to which the Province looks forward. It will keep the Executive Council at its full strength for some years longer. I will prevent the consolidation and reform of the Civil Service, and it will ensure a prolongation of the happy time when two or three officials do the work of one. In short, it will be practically thrown away just as the Land Purchase money is being thrown away. It will not, of course, fal into the hands of those who tax and trouble us at this moment; for, in a few months, they will pass away and be seen no more. But it does not matter what Adminstration is in power. The money will, under exist- ing circumstances, be « disadvantage,rather than an advantage, if handed over by the General to the Local Government. Till the required economical reforms are com- pleted, the less money our Lozal Govern ment is entrusted with, the better. The want of money on'y will make immediate and practical action towards reforms neces- sary. As itis, the Fishery Award will be expended by those who legitimately should expend it; and witha strong Minister of our own in the Cabinet of Cinada, we need have no fear that the interests of our Province will be neglected.

The motive the Patriot has for making this absurd proposition is apparent. It hopes to prolong the existence of the ob- noxios Local Government. Its hopes arg vain.

The Imperial Parliament having decided that the expenses of the Afghan campaign svall be borne by the Indian Treasury, con- siderable controvery has arisen regarding the capability of that vast dependency to discharge the debt without imposing op- pressive burthens. The population under the government of the Crown, exclusive of those ruled by tributary princes, is placed at about two hundred millions. The gross annual product is estimated not to exceed eight dollars per capita. Of this product the Government and local taxes consume about sixteen percent. T1 rate of wa e: at points distant frem cities or rai!w.) centres do not exceed ten cents per day.

The revenue is derived from taxes upon!

land, silt, opium and stamps, the customs ani excise duties, and tributes from states which are still nominally subject to their native rulers. While the condition of the : does not afford ground for congratu-

ion, nevertheless the vast natural re-

sources of the country, which are being de- |

veloped by the construction of railways and other public works, atford encouragement. India, moreover, is being cemented to- ¢@ her, and will ultimately prove a source of strength to the Empire.—Toronto Mail.

he Queen, at the prosecution of Aler ender MeKislay vs. Crarles Horriel.— Viis was a case of stealing a load of hay. Examined by the Attorney General, a witness name l Daniel McKinnon deposed that he and the prisoner had stolen the hay. Cross-exXain- ined by Mr. Peters, he svid_ that Horriel

(McKinnon) bad pitebed the hay upon the sleigh, and that it was_he who Grove the sleigh to and from McKiniay’s bara. He, tov, was a little drunk.

Yo the Attorney General.—I do not know whose horse we drove. I do not know whether or not we had a horse when we started to the singing school. We left the singing school aboat 10 o'clock. Ido not know where we went. I forget all about it. I told him (Horriel) there was no hay at Cummings’ for his mare; and he said, ‘* For God’s sake, we mustn’t let the mare starve.” I couldn’t tell where we got the horse or the sleigh. We got the sleigh at the forge. I have no idea who owned the horse. LI suggested going to McKinlays. [went up on the loft at McKinlay’s and »vitched down the hay. I laid Herriel down on the snow till [ got the hay on, and then gotinon tho hay. I drove the hay to Cummings’, because Horriel s mare was there.

Ordered, that McKinnon be held in cus- tody.

Jamrs Cusmines, sworn—Horriel’s horse was at my barn. The hay for the horse was kept outside. I know the hay was brought to my place—I did not know at what time. I did notask Horriel where he vot the hay. I had not the least suspicion

hat the hay was stolen untill saw Mr. Me- Kinlay. I do not know whose sleigh brought the hay.

Arrorney Gsnerat—Did you say in the Court below that you believed the hay was stolen ?

Wiryess--I don’t know whether I said so or not.

Arrornney-GexeraL—Did you let them in the Church ?

Wirness—I did Church,

ArrorNEY-GENERAL—Did you give those men the keys to go into the Charch ?

Wirvess—I’ve alinost forgot. [ think I remember something about it. They came to me that night andasked me to give them she keys of tae Church to warm themselves. { thonght at the time I gave evidence in ‘he lower Court that I gave the keys to Horviel. McKinnon has since reminded ve that I did not give the keys to either of chem. I did not know the oflicers were vfter them. Ihad no object in putting chem into the Church.

Jupgs—Perhaps they were penitent !

Wirvess—(Lo the Attorney-General)— Chey werenos members of the Caurch. I lid not see Horriel the. morning after the Lay was stolen—aot till the Saaday week vfter. Horriel’s brother fed his mara with ‘he stolen hay. He used to attend upon var. I did not.

Antan McPaer, sworn—To Mr. Peters— Chere was a conversation between the wisoner and Mr. McKunlay in my presence. { dont think that McKinlay threatened tim. On my own responsibility [ assured forriel that he would get cle uw if he made a slear confession. He afterwards went over -o see McKinlay and confessed in my sresence. But MsKinlay gave no promise vefore the confession was made. I was jite independent in the matter. Lam not t relation of the prisoner.

To the the Attorney General—McKinlay lid no promise to let Horviel off— He ‘ook payment for the stolen hay. But he vouldn’t settle because Horriel had given the wrong name (that of one Martin) of the person who helped him to steal the hay. My impression is that if Horriel had given the right name, Mr. McKinley would have settled. From what took place, I thought Horriel at first had a good hope of getting off if he confessed. But when asked abont it, Mr. M-Kinlay said, ‘‘ he'd’ see; that was was his own business.” Horriei would then have a_ faint hope.

Mr. Perers con'ended that McPhee, as agent of McKinlay, had been the means of inducing the prisoner to confess—that he had, therefore, confessed, and should be discharged.

The Attorney General argued that Me- Phee was rather a friend of both parties than an agent of McKinley. His motive was to get Horricl clear on account of Horriel’s mother. And he had received no authority from Mr. McKinlay to offer Hor- aiel any inducement to confess.

The Judge ruled the ‘‘confesson” out of the evidence, and the case went to the Jury. Verdict, “guilty.” The Queen at the prosecution of A.

Hon. W. H. Pope, of P. E. I, is here, the papers say, to receive a reward for long service to the cause of Confederation. The Princess Li uis» will attend the opening of Parliament. Lonpon, Jan. 10.

A St. Petersburg despatch states that Shere Ali, before leaving Cabul, declared his readines to become a vassal of the Czar. Another despatch states that the Ameer, in consequence of the refusal of Russia to mediate. has abandoned, as hopeless, the idea of interesting the European powers in his cause.

From the ‘Rocky Mountain News,” published in Denver, Colerado, we copy the following notice of a flourishing busi- ness carried on by an Islander, Cuarles D. McPhee, wh» belonged, we believe, to East Point. He is a manufacturer and builder, and his planing will, sash and blind factory and lumber yard covers eleven lots in the city of Denver. This bus.ness, says the ‘‘ News,” ‘Sis one of the most pushing in all respects that Denever con- tains was established here in 1872 and has since found its way as far north and west as Salt Lake City and as far south as Santa Fe, making in all this extended territory, friends tiat will aid and patronize it in the future. The mills and yards attached, em- ploy from forty to seventy men, according to seasoi, and the monthly pay roll is by no means a small rivulet in the curreney stream that keeps vitality in the city’s trade. All kinds of eastern anl Colorado lumber are han led by this house, and it also deals in building supplies,sashes, doors, ete. During 1878 the income reached $175,- 099, and during 1879 it promises to be largely increased. Early in the spring an extensive warehouse is among the project- elimprovements. It will be 50 feet front vy 125 ft deep, and will greatly facilitate the rapidly increasing business that has grown to such stature in six years, under tue pru- lent, but energetic direction of Charles D. McPhee.

Electricity has been substituted for the ducking tub in the Ohio penitentiary at Cvlumbus. The prisoner sits down in a box containing three inches of water, in which one pole of an electric battery is placed, a sponge being fastened to the other pole. He is then mangetized, and the process 1s said to have proved so effective as to reduce troublesume prisoners fiity per cent. The systein migut perhaps prove useful in awakening meubers of civic bodies to a sense of their duties aud responsibilities.
