              THE EVENING TELEGRAM. VOL. 14. PRICE : ONE CENT. ST. JOHN'S, NEWFOUNDLAND, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1892. $3.00 PER ANNUM. No. 36. NOTES OF THE DAY. Thkkk was no appearance of the steamer Conscript, now due here from Halifax, nor are we aware that she had been seen at Cape Race, up to the time of our going to press. The S.S. Curleic, from the Westward, arrived at Trepassey at half-past 10 o'clock this morning, and remains there till the storm abates. The first overland mail of the season for the Northward, reached Bonavistaon Wednesday. In consequence of the weather being so very mild, much difficulty was experienced by the couriers in crossing streams and rivulets, some of which were greatly swollen. They saw a good deal of small game during the journey. Dim fishery difficulty with the French has been once again brought under public notice. In the House of Lards, yesterday, Karl Kimberley expressed his repret that no mention was made thereto in the (Queen's Speech. Lord Salisbury, ia reply, stated that be thought a settlement of the question was due to Newfoundland, or words to that effect. «.  Oi;u latest advices from Sound Island state that present prospects, as regards the herring fishery, are not so bright as they were come time ago. The fiabermen, however, think those herrings will strike in again They are still very numerous ( ff the main land from Sandy Harbor to Woody Island. Prices of goods are extremely low at Sound Island, and the Americans are it)''-' generous in their dealings with the people. «.  Tub harvest from the icefield is already being gathered iv. Our King's Cove correspondent telegraphs us that seventy-five bedlamer seals were taken on the ice at Tickle Cove last Saturday. We are also pleased to leain from the same source that kl the people all round arc enjoying gooti timet-,"' as a result of the fine fishery last fall. Nothing like a good Government aud a kind Providence: an' we seem to have both at present! No wonder the people of our great Northern bays laugh at the Heralds vapounngs and regard the Opposition as the smart boy regards the pantomime in the play. .*.  There's a general conviction here that a gentleman does not cease to be a gentleman when ho is trying cases as a lawyer or writing anonymous articles in a newspaper, and that if he is not a gentleman in his business it is because he is not a gentleman at all. This is a safe proposition respecting a lawyer who permits himself wantonly to defame either parties or witnesses, or puts upon them imputations which he does not believe to be just. The general progress of civilization may be trusted to mend the manners of the bar, but there is still urgent need that judges should interfere oftener and more decisively than they do to check the license of lawyers. ■ ■♦  On: I'reeeott Street contemporary's icply to tue letter from the people of Sound Island, published by us on Tuesday, is of a niece with the usual productions of that paper. It is false, misleading and illogical. The oppositionists are most unfortunate in their organ. The latter appears to be all the time doing the thing he ought not to do, and leaving undone the thing he ought to do; and, as a natural result, *'confu- confusion worse confounded " is the condition in which they find their affairs to-day. Is there no possibility of organizing something like an Opposition here, with a brainy organ ? It seems so odd to have only one respectable party in the political arena. Cau it that our present wise and progressive Government have absorbed all the political talent in the colony? We wonder can it. m The despatch from the Prince of Wales to his mother, the announcing the death of Ins son and her grandson, the Duke of Clarence, was signed simply 11 Bertie.'' What a volume there is in the little woid! Putting royally and all the trappings of Imperialism aside, it reveals between this mature man of the world and his mother a sweet and tender relationship that is as rare as it is beautiful. More than half a century has passed away since the loving diminutive was bestowed on him in his cradle within the roya! walls of Windsor. Since thi ti bis nt;me bai been in many w»yu on the lips of toilliona of men, often lot good, and frequently for evil, but through good repute and through bad, the heir to the British throne, in joy and in sorrow, ba9 always heen to our good and motherty <Jueen " Bertie." The palace and the cottage are cot so far apart when it comes down to real human nature. !¥KW ADVKKTI»i:ni\T» Auction- -onions, carrots, etc J. & W.
