Tue Datty EXAMINER,

NOVEMBER 14, 1875.

A SHORT LIVED TRIUMPH.

After friends exerted themselves to the utmost— the Hon. Thomas W. Dodd, Provincial Secretary and Treasurer, leading member of the firm of Dodd & Rogers, Contractor with the Government, and last remaining prop of an execrated Government—has been elected by a narrow majority.

The following is the result of the ballot

to-day :

a sharp contest—in which his

DIVISIONS. Eastern. Wos n. Dodd . : i ; 150 tO} Longworth. “e. ii oo FS 168 Majority for Doda.. 2) Business.

Te broken weather of the past week in- terrupted business to some extent. Still a large quantity of produce has been sold and shipped. A considerable amount of cash has now been distributed throughout the counry. ! This will enable people to pay up their ‘little bil’s’ pretty well; and we hope they will lose n> time in doing so. Keep the money moying-—that’s the way to be pros- perous. The man who pays his debt to-day enables another man to pay his debt to- morrow, and the man who is paid to mor- row will be able to pay his debt on the fol- lowing day. Then, in the words of a con- temporary, we say

‘* Square Ur !—This is the imperative duty of the hour, aud it is a duty that should be discharged just at this particular season. The man who can’t pay now is not likely to be able to pay lateron. For there is assuredly more money in circulation at a time when the farmer is disposing of his

roduce than when he has nothing to sell.

ence we say, not on behalf of the news- paper man only, but on behalf of business men of all classes—square up! Get that old account off your own mind and the mind of your creditor at once. It willbe a relief to both and both will sleep sounder for it. Not only so, but it will help to make better times, for if everybody had his own in this world bad times would soon disappear.”

Here is how a brother journalist puts it for the newspaper : ~-

‘‘We suppose that many people think that newspaper men are persistant duns; let a far- mer place himself in a similar business posi- tion and see if he would not do the same. Sup- pose he raised one thousand bushels of wheat, and his neighbor should come and buy a bushel, and the price was a small matter of only two dollars or less, and the neighbor says, ‘‘I will hard you the amount in a few days.” As the farmer does not want to be small about the matter, he says all right, and the man leaves with the wheat. Another comes in the same way until the whole of the one thousand bushels of wheataretruste 1 out to one thousand different persons, and not one of the purchasers concerns himself about it, for it is a small amount that he owes the farmer, and ofcourse that would not help him any. He does not realize that the farmer has frit- tered away all his large crop of wheat, and that its value is due him in a thousand little driblets, and that he is seriously embarrassed in his business because his debtors treat it as a little matter. But if all would pay him promptly, which they could do as well as not, it would be a very large amount to the farmer. and enable him to ca on his busines without difficulty. The above com parison is too true of the difficulties that the newspaper man has to contend with:”

_—-----—--- +> ————--— Crooked Tactics.

We learn that a deep scheme is about be- ing worked up by Hon. W. D. Stewart & Co, to change the site of a bridge at the head of Murray River. The bridge was to be let last August; and tenders were sent in. But two days before the opening of the tenders was to take place, the Superintend- ent of Public Works (at the request of his special friend in Murray River) sent the Engineer out to recommend the change. Consequently the tenders were smothered; and now we find he is calling for tenders again. Last week a petition with about two hundred signatures was forwarded to the Governor in Council, praying to have the bridge built where originally intended.

Surely Mr. Stewart and Dr. Robert- son will not allow themselves to be duped in such a manner; and if they do, we shall have something to say about sending the specification of the bridge to a certain party three weeks before the tenders are called for. We shall review the whole transaction in a few days, if the prayer of the petition be not complied with.

“An Unlikely Story.’

Unpezr this heading in to-day’s Patrivt, we observe the following: ‘‘ Mr. Dodd’s opponents are making a great many rash and improbable statements. One of, these is, that Mr. DeBlois intends to vote for Mr. Longworth to-day.” We beg to observe that the statement quoted is neither rash nor improbable, as we have the best reason for knowing that Mr. DeBlois did vote for Mr. Longworth to-day. Mr. DeBlois is fully able, we doubt not, at the proper time and place to give his reasons for any action he aay think it right to take,either upon this or aipon any other matter of a pubjie nature.

Thanksgiving Lecttire. “(raps and Trade Transactions fir the Current Year” will, we understand, form the suggestive subject of a lecture by Rey. J. Lathern, to be delivered on the evening of Thanksgiving Day, in the Lee- ture Room of the Methodist Church. The year has been an eventful one in all busi- ness circles. Throughout the commercial world there have been depressions, reverses, shrinkage in values, heavy failures, and fraudulent transactions—which have thrown their shadow over the whole region of finance. There are matters of local busi-

Tue banquet took place on the 9th, on the imaugura- | tion of the new Mayor, Sir Charles Whit- ham. A short report of Lord Beacons- field’s speech is given, followed by the re- mark that Count Beust spoke somewhat in sympathy with the nglish Premier’s speech, each man showing true patriotism. Lord Beaconsfield is thus reported :—

Lord Beaconsfield was enthusiastically applauded on rising to reply to the toast o Her Majesty Ministers. After a review of past events, he touched upon the alarm- ist theories relative to an imminent Invasion

3. The present condition and work of the Church among the brethren—by the Rev. D. FitzGerald and F. W. Hales, Esq.

The speeches were short but pointed; and the discussion was pleasing and improving to those concerned in it.

On motion of Mr. Leeming, seconded by

Mr. Dixon, the report was adopted. ~-~a>s -

Funeral Rsform.

The Funeral Reform movement is spread- ing in England among all classes of the people, there being manifested a desire to discourage the absurd extravagance charac- teristic of burial ceremonies in this enlight- enedage. At 2 meeting held recently at

Sheffield, members of the Church of Eng- land formed themselves into an Association for carrying out reform. The Bishop of Sodor and Man presided. The resolution moved by Earl Nelson, and seconded by Canon Clark, set forth that the members of the Association should ‘‘ encourage the adoption of such observances only as are consistent with a hope of resurrection to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. and discourage feastings and treating onthe’ day of Burial, and all useless or extrava gant expenditure in the coitin and its furniture, on the occasion of the funeral , and in the wearing of mourning; the members adopt- ing the broad ground that funerals should pe conducted and mourning worn, without the unmeaning pomp, vain ostentation, and dismal pagentry of hatbands, scarfs, plumes, mourning coaches, heavy crape trimmings; and the like, which involve unprofitable ex -

penditure, inflict severe hardship upon per- sons of limited means, and neither mitigate grief nor manifest respect for the dead.” Similar associations have been formed

everywhere, and the movement is en-

couraged by ministers of all churches. On

this side of the Atlantic there is as much,

if not more, need for reform in this direction than in England. In the United States, especially, the extravagance connected with

burials is astounding, even people in needy circumstances going to the mos t absurd ex- cesses in their desire t» follow the exa mple of their wealthier neighbors in the matter of a ‘‘ swell funeral.”

Moderation.

Tue Halifax Reporter says: Political parties in Canada need at the present time,

in some parts of the Dominion especially,

to study the importance of moderation.

Take an illustration. On the triumph of a political party there is always a great

pressure upon the Government to dismiss officials by the hundred and to replace these by active supporters of the dominant party.

In the United States the Government has yielded to this pressure and the Civil Ser-

vice has been a football of parties,

kicked out of all shape between the contending parties. The wis-

dom of British legislation and Execu- tive practice has made it a settled fact that the Civil Service shall be as free from poli- tical pressure as possible, and in England it would take an immense degree of force to compel the Government to dismiss, to superanuate, to cancel appointments made by a previous Government. In any attempt, to harden the temper of the Liberal-Con- servative party in Canada we see danger to the state and injury to the Party. We, therefore, advocate moderate counsels. We believe in Dr. Tupper’s words at Amherst, that he did not believe a trampling on a fallen foe, but in infusing a large degree of generosity into the counsels of the Party.

Srr A. T. Gatr is said to be engaged at Ottawa, not only in placing at the disposal of the Government his information and views on the fishery question, but also in contributing to the formation of the new tariff.. It is to be hoped this report is true.

—St, John Neve,

and, by request, deals again with the same |

‘of India as only to be averted by entering into a struggle with some great and junknown power; he declared the Govern- ment’s opinion was that an invasion of India was hardly practicable, as the base of operations of any possible force had first to be made. It was true the north-western frontier of India was not sufticietly garded, and possibly a foe might be able to cause embarrassment by compelling us to maintain a large and expensive force there- on. This possible evil had occupied the attention of successive adminstrations, cir- cumstances arising which forced it on the immediate attention of the Government. They believed invasion would become pos- sible if Asia Minor and the Euphrates Val- ley were held by a very strong or’ very weak power, and they had therefore taken measures which, he believed, would soon be consummated, and of which the Anglo- Turkish convention, which secures the pos- session of these localities to our ally, was chiefly to remove causes of apprehension concerning our frontiers. We shall live, I hope, on good terms with our immediate neighbors, and perhaps with some more re- mote. In regard to Cyprus, Lord Beacons- field said he thought it wise to occupy an armed position where the Sultan could feel that if any danger prevented him from carrying out the reforms he willingly agreed to make, he could look with confi- dence to the assistance of an aily close to his frontier. The execution of the Treaty of Berlin and the rectification of the northwestern frontier of India would in- crease England’s honor and _ prosperity. Turning from exclusively Anglo-Indian in- terests, Lord Beaconstield pointed out that there was another aspect of the Eastern question, which involved the independence of all Europe and especially of the Mediter- ranean powers. The Government’s policy would prevent a fatal partition of any indi- vidual State. England and other powers at the Congress sought to do this by establish- ing the Sultan as a truly independent Prince. Referring to the statements that the Treaty of Berlin would never be carried out, he pointed to the number of its provi- sions which have been already fultilled, al- though only one-third of the time for its execution had elapsed. He emphatically and repeatedly declared the Government received ne intimation whatevar from any of the signatories, that they desired or in- tended to evade a complete fulfilment of the treaty; he thought it quite impossible for any signatory to attempt to witdraw from its engagements, but could say on the part of Her Majesty’s Government that they would not be the signatory which would retire from their’s, and their deter- mination is that the Treaty of Berlin shall be carried out in spirit and to the letter ; and believing that the Berlin settlement is one that will advance progress and civiliza- tion and secure the maintenance of peace, the Government would if necessary appeal with confidence to the people to support them in maintaing the treaty with all their energy and resources. (Cheers.) Lord Beaconsfield denied that the state of affairs is one of danger, although from the im- portant nature of the Berlin settlement which was proceeding, it was necessarily serious. He warned his hearers not to place any trust in rumors that England was powerless to assert the policy which she be- lieved to be one of justice and truth ; he was confident she would not become as Geneva, Venice or Holland.

The Second Trial of the Osbornes.

THE second trial of the prisoners in this celebrated case commenced on the 12th inst. The Times says :—

Annie Parker arrived by the noon train from Hampton in charge of Sheriff Frieze. She is looking well and expresses herself well —" with her treatment since the trial in uly.

Dr, Tuck and Hon. D. 1. Hanington ap- pear for the Crown; Mr. A. L. Palmer on be- half of the prisoners.

THE PRISONERS BROUGHT INTO COURT.

At 3.30 Dr. Tuck moved to have the prison- ers brought into Court, and they soon ap- peared, looking none the worse on account of their long imprisonment.

Dr. Tuck moved for trial.

Mr. Palmer wished first to have the prison- ers tried separately, and read an aflidavit of Harry Osborne’s, as tollows :—

In the Supreme Court, The Queen vs. Ha Osborne, Eliza Osborne and Martha Os- borne.

I, Harry Osborne, one of the within named defendants, make oath and say— lst, That the other defendants as well as

John Osborne, the husband of the defendant,

Martha Osborne, are necessary witnesses for

the defence on the trial of this cause, without

whose testimony the charge against me cannot be fairly tried.

2nd, { say that I am innocent of the charge made against me, and if J am deprived of the evidenve of the said witnesses, great injustice may be done me.

Sworn to at Dorchester, in the County of egtrens the 12th day of November,

(Signed) H. Osporne.

Before me, A. L. Palmer, Commissioner,

etc., in Supreme Court.

Mr. Palmer went on to say that if a charac- ter such as Annie Parker is proved to be, can make such a charge against a whole family,

at the Pe in support of this view hé cited ftom

“(Crown Cases Reserved,” first volume, Queen vs. Payne, to show that in a case like this the ‘‘Remedy would be to apply for the separate trial of the prisoners, and if the prisoners were improperly joined in the indictment, a motion to that effect would no doubt be granted by the Court.” Mr. Palmer said that if he thought the prisoners guilty he would be the last one to make such an application, as the witnesses would criminate themselves; but, be- lieving them innocent, he felt satisfied that

be toadmit the evidence of the prisoners mentioned.

Mr. Tuck replied at some length, arguing that the adoption of such a course, after the evidence already before the Court, would be utterly unprecedented, and that no authority could be found in support of such a course.

His Honor cited a case from the same au- ther quoted by Mr. Palmer, in which the prisoners, under much the same circumstances, were tried simultaneously, and he thought that, in view of what had already taken place before him in the former trial, he must ex- clude Mr. Palmer’s application.

Dr. Tuck again moved for trial. On calling the roll of jurors, sixteen were found to be absent, and in view of the lateness of the hour

of selecting a jury before six oclock, the Court adjourned until ten o’clock on Wednes- day. The People Want Proof. There is no medicine prescribed by physi cians, or sold by Druggists, that carries such evidence of its success and superior virtues as
