THE EVENING TELEGRAM. VOL. 14. PRICE : ONE CENT. ST. JOHN'S, NEWFOUNDLAND, SATURDAY JANUARY, 23, 1892. $3.00 PER ANNUM. No. ig. SUMMARY OF THE DAY'S NEWS. The Opposition organ eaye we should write a book. Well, perhaps we will one of these days when we get more time than we have at present. How would it do to make oar contemporary " the hero of the story?,. The Charlotte town Herald of the 13th tells as that fishermen are catching cod-fish off the eastern coast of P.E. Island, and that mackerel were washed ashore near Red Point during the heavy winds recently.', A uarquentink and a fore-and-aft schooner, the names of which are sot given, were sighted off Cape Ballard at 0 o'clock this morning, bound inward. The present fair wind down the ekore will, doubtless, enable them to reach port this evening. Intellrjenck of a cad accident, involving the death of a mother and ber son, reaches us from Ramea. It seems that two boys belonging to Robert Evie went out on a pond—for what purpose is not stated— and one of them fell through the ice. The other ran and called the unfortunate one's mother. Mrs. Evie, with a mother's affection, ran to save her boy, and both were drowned. The billiard tournament dinner, in connection with the St. John's Mechanics' Society, takes place on Monday evening next. Mr. Callanan purveys, and covers will be placed for eighty persons. Invilaliooe bave been generously issued to friends outside tbe ranks of the Society, and the mechanics are just the men to make their guests feel " at borne." A most enjoyable evening ie certain. The Opposition organ's attack on Mr. s ;utticott, one of the candidates for Ward Two, is as vindictive as it is uncalled for. Mr. S. stands high in the community as a citizen and property owner, and has a perfect right to allow himself to be put in nonaioation. The tactics of the Herald ia throwing mud at everyone who takes an independent stand in matters pertaining to civic and colonial affaire, are not calculated to improve the Opposition's prospects. But Mr. Soutbcott can afford to treat the Herald's abuse with all the cantempt it deserves. In the St. John, N. 8., Teleyraph of the loth we find the following reference to the Newfoundland Exhibition :—" Taking time by the forelock. Newfoundland id sending out preliminary notices of an industrial exhibition, to be held in St. John's during the month of October next. The exhibition will be for the general display of articles of industrial workmanship, skill or manufacture ; products of the Newfoundland fisheries ; agricultural products, animals, fruits and flowers, aud specimens illustrative of mines and minerals, natural history, etc. While the exhibit will be made mainly in the interest of local industries, manufacturers and producers in foreign countries, who may have, or desire to have, commercial relations with Newfoundland will also be invited to exhibit. The prizes and premiums will be awarded only to local exhibitors of articles actually produced within the colony." COKCEBXIKG Mr. A. li. Morine'e candidacy for Queen's County, N.&., the Winnipeg Free Press bays :—" Tbe conservatives of Queen's County, Nova Scotia, must be hard up for material when they are obliged to go to Newfoundland for a candidate. More extraordinary than this is the fact that they bave pitched upon tne leader of tbe Opposition in the Legislative Assembly of that colony, who would eeein to have consented. It is not stated in the diifatch conveying this intelligence tbat Mr. Morine, who is a native of Nova Scotia, will abandon Newfoundland and resume his Canadian citizenship. He need not do so to become a member uf the Canadian Parliament, as the only qualification necessary ie that he shall be a British subject. Are we to be entertained with tbe spectacle of a gentleman serving in the double capacity of a member of the Caeadian Commons and of the Aeeembly of Newfoundland? That would be something new, for sure " A PLACENTI/rcORRESPONDENT Gondemus tie" Herald's" Want of Patriotism. The Old Confederate Policy. (Editor k" Evening Telegram.,,) Dear Sir,—I notice by the Herald's latest effueion that the interests of Canada, and not those of hie native country, are troohliiig him. We did not mind the Herald's outpourings about Canada when a Canadian by birth and an agent of tbe Dominion was wielding tbe editorial pen, but, when we find a native of this conntry upholding Canada's action in trying to bring us under subjection to ber, and whether we will or not, force us into a union which we abhor, where there is nothing for us to gain but all to lose, what must we think of a native of this description ? Why, we must only say, in justice to ourselves and our country, tbat be is a traitor to tbe land which gave him birth ; and as such, we are bound in honor to treat Him and Hie Backers. And as sure as Newfoundland is Newfoundland, the Herald, and those who are assisting him now, in his nefarious plot to barter us away to tbe Dominion, will rue the day they tried their game on Newfoundlanders. Does the little man who edits the Herald imagine tbat Newfoundlander)* are like himself, with no spirit above personal gain? But, let him beware, the eyes of the people are upon him, and, also, let him understand tbat tbe people are well pleased with the Government's action in shutting out Canada. What bave we to get from her? Nothing. Canada, heretofore, would have us believe tbat any concessions we had from tbe United States came through ber, and her influence, but what do we find? No sooner does Newfoundland attempt to make arrangements with tbe United States for the Benefit of Newfoundlander!* than this great country, abounding iv wealth andoveirlowing with milk and honey, secretly petitions the Imperial Government not to grant Newfoundland's request, a* Canada would be ruined. Now, en, in the face of ttiis. the Herakl pack would bave us to lie down and submit tamely, because he has probably received his instructions and pay from Topper's agent, bis predecessor. It is with pleasure we note bow the Hon. A. W. Harvey has confronted the misrepresentations of Canada's high official (?) in tbe London Times. One word more and I have done: let tbe Hon. l<. Bond and bis com. patriots hold firm to their policy and let tbe world see that we bave the key to the position and int an to ktep it; and while the world is looking, Tupper may also have a peep.

The Opposition organ eaye we should write a book. Well, perhaps we will one of these days when we get more time than we have at present. How would it do to make oar contemporary " the hero of the story?,. The Charlotte town Herald of the 13th tells as that fishermen are catching cod-fish off the eastern coast of P.E.

The present fair wind down the ekore will, doubtless, enable them to reach port this evening. Intellrjenck of a cad accident, involving the death of a mother and ber son, reaches us from Ramea. It seems that two boys belonging to Robert Evie went out on a pond—for what purpose is not stated— and one of them fell through the ice. The other ran and called the unfortunate one's mother. Mrs. Evie, with a mother's affection, ran to save her boy, and both were drowned.
