POLITICS THE DOMINION.

The elections in the Province of Quebec
have resulted in victory of the Liberals
over the Tories. A Tory majority of 81 in
the Provincial Parliament has been swept
away and working Liberal majority sub
stituted. This result was undoubtedly
brought about largely by the dissatisfaction
of the French of Quebec with Sir John Mac
donald's treatment of Louis Riel. But the
Quebec elections are chiefly interesting for
the indications they furnish as to the result
of the general elections of the whole d omin-
ion. which must come off within year.
Already Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Que
bee and Ontario are controlled by the Liber-
ais and the indications are that the general
elections will put them in power at Ottawa
The policy pursued by Sir John Macdonald
has unquestionably developed Canada's re-
sources greatly. The Canadian Pacific Rail-
way with the short line connections now
building across Maine to the Atlantic, and
numerous manufacturing industries fostered
by protective tariff are magnificent results
OF his policy. On the other hand, it is al
legged that his government has been extrava
CANT and corrupt, and there is a general de-
sire for change

STREET LIGHTING.

A correspondent in another column insin-
yates that the meeting of the Board of Alder
men on Saturday night was called at that
time because it was known that Aldermen
Marks and Beale could not attend. This
we are informed is not the fact. Alderman
Marks has been out of town some weeks
and is likely to remain away some weeks
longer. 1t would have been impracticable
to delay the meeting until his return. 1t was
not known that Alderman Beale could not
attend the meeting. 1t is true that the
electric lights failed entirely the night of
the great ice storm of last winter, and that
on other nights some of the lamps were out.
1t is true also that the incandescent lights
are not satisfactory, and that many streets
are not so well lighted as when gas was
used. 1t is patent however, to everybody
that the streets on which the arc lights are
employed are better lighted than ever before,
and we do not believe the people would con-
sent to do away with these lights Could
the arc lights be retained and gas substituted
| for electricity on the cross streets the city
| doubtless would be much better lighted than
| itcan be until it is rich enough to substitute
| the arc for the incandescent. But mixed
system is impracticable, so admitted both by
the Electric Light Company and the Gas
| Company, and therefore the aldermen were
| compelled to choose between all gas and all
electricity. They chose the latter and in so
doing undoubtedly acted for what they
deemed to be the best interests of the city.

against an unfit nomination of his own par
ty; by the time the legislature of 1882 dis
banded he was the leader of that party in
the Assembly, having distinguished himself
by courageous opposition to all schemes of
jobbery and corruption. In 1884 he served
in the Legislature again, and by series of
reform bills effected radical changes for the
better in the municipal government of New
York city. 1t was one of these bills that
took away from the aldermen the power of
confirmation, and centered the responsibility
for the government of the city in the mayor
alone Though Mr. Roosevelt is a young
man he has shown by these achievements
that he has the capacity now to administer
himself the arduous duties of the high office
which his own measures have made doubly
important.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

Theodore Roosevelt, whom the Republi-
cans have nominated for mayor of New York
city, is one OF the best examples of the class
OF young Republicans who are coming upon
the political stage. Though only twenty
eight years old, he has won a national repu-
tation, largely through his energetic efforts to
reform the municipal affairs of New York
city. Born to affiuence, he has chosen to de-
vote his energies to practical undertakings,
though he is not practical politician in the
odious sense of the term. He has recognized
that the Republican party is not exempt from
the failings of all political parties; but in
stead of standing aloof and criticising it he
has gone into it to make it better. His first
political action was to protest in a caucus

A writer in the Calais Times is of the
opinion that the moose in Maine is doomed
animal. Close time is from January LIST to
October list, three months only being allowed
for actual hunting. But the few moose are
spotted" during the other nine months, and
the killing commences promptly on October
LIST. Three have been killed in Washington
county SO far this month, all of them fine,
large animals. While the moose that made
the grand tour of the fairs this fall aroused
public opinion against himself by unaccount-
able perversity when requested to perform
on the race track, it is to be hoped that gen.
eral contempt won't be visited on the whole
moose family. They are noble animals and
the species ought to be perpetuated in Maine.
When Archbishop Purcell became insol-
vent his estate was placed in the hands of
one j. B. Mannix to save what he could for
the poor depositors in the ArchbishOp's bank.
Mannix collected about $350,00O but when
he was called on to account for it it appeared
that he had squandered it in stock specula-
ton. One of his bondsmen was ex-Gov.
Hoadly of Ohio. The other bondsmen are
preparing to fight in the courts, but Gov.
HOadly has offered to pay his full proportion
of the bond and also to turn over certain
stocks and bonds which were deposited with
him by Mannix to insure him against loss
His conduct is in cheerful contrast with the
conduct of everybody else connected with
this matter from Archbishop Purcell down,
besides being widely at variance to the
conduct of bondsmen in general. The Arch
bishop undoubtedly intended to return the
depositors' money, but he was entirely I'M
acquainted with business, and his invest
ments turned out unproftably. Mannix was
an embezzler; and the present Archbishop
appears disposed to cheat the depositors out
of-all he possibly and keep inside the
law. Hoadly's conduct is an oasis in a
desert of crime and incompetency. 1t ought
to shame the present Archbishop into doing
justice to the poor men whom his prede-
cessor wronged through ignorance, and
whom he persists in wronging. Mr.. Hoad-
ly is well along in years, in poor health and
the sacrifice he proposes to make will take
about all his fortune.

1t looks as if the story about the steamer

could mistake the reflection of the Eastport

brightest prospects for the success of the
Public Schools in the county. Changes,
for the better, are being made, contin-

that before two years more shall have

tricts will have good comfortable school
houses. The want of such houses has,
hitherto, been the greatest drawback to
the work. The authorities are making
every effort to supply this great want.
When the same shall have been done

schools will be popular.

there is no reason why the free schools

THE PoRTeR CASE.

IHE P0RTER CASE. aFf n
We regret to learn that our account OF
the trial of the Porter, Administrator, case
was incorrect. Judge Avery did not set
aside the verdict, but held, as question
of law, that defendant railroad company
was entitled to judgment upon the ver-
dict rendered by the jury. AS the points
Einvoived are interesting to the public
and specially to lawyers we append the
Issues and findings of the jury in full, as
fellows, viz:
1st.. Was plaintiffs intestate injured by
the unskilful, careless or negligent man
agenent ofone Of defendants engineers
by defendant?
Answer, Yes.
End. Did plaintiffs intestate contribute
to hisinjury by his negligence?
Answer, No.
3rd. Was the death of plaintiffs 8 intes-
tate caused by the negligence of Jack
Edwards, an engineer and fellow SER
want of said plaintiffs intestate?
Answer, Yes.
4th, Did the defendant company re-
tain the said Edwards in its service af-
ter the defendant company had knowl-
edge or by reasonable diligence might
have ascertained was incompetent, inef-
icient or reckless in running his engine +?
Answer, Yes.
9Th, Did the plaintiffs intestate know
that said Jack Edwards was inco mpetent.
inefficient in. running an engine, and
with such knowledge continue in the
service OF the defendant till he was
Killed?
Answer, Yes.
9Th, What is plaintiffs damages?
Answer. $500. %
The plaintiffs counsel moved for judg-
ment on the ground that it was conceded
that with the findings of the jury upon
the first and second issues, and leaving
out of view the third, fourth and fifth is
sues, the plaintiff would be entitled to
damages assessed, and that the finding
on the fifth issue should not be held to
destroy this right, because remaining in
service ofthe company was only a spe-
cies of coDtributory negligence ON the
part of plaintiffs intestate (DunaYant)
and the jury had found generally that he
was not guilty of contr1butory negligence.
Defendants counsel insisted that
the theory of the law, was, that a servant,
who remained in service with fellow
servant known to be unskilful, was
held by implication of law to have con-
tracted to subject himself to the risks
incident to such association in service,
and could not in the face of such COM
piled contract recover damage for an in
jury and in case of fatal injury and death
his personal representative could not
recover for the same reason.
The court, upon the verdict, gave ejudg-
ment for defendent for costs. The plant
iff appealed.
