The Government of Canada. “a WwW hich has

marked the short Sir John Caldwell Abbott, everyone must re- Under his strong and

I~ view of the great su administration of

gret his retirement. prudent management, and by reason large- ly of the confidence which he inspired, the Government has been materially strength- ened, while the country, 48 4 whole, has prospered. A very able and honorable man has passed from the pol Though his health is broken, we may yet hope that he will be spared several years to note the development of the country,ai d mayhap, to assist in a quiet way, the efforts ef hie successor in the high aod most im- portant position of Premier of Canada. That he has resigned his <flice in favor of Sir John Thompson is in accordance with It isa

itical arena,

the fitness of names and of persons. curious circumstancethat three Premiers of Canada, in succession, should all be named Sir John,and that the qualifications of eavu should be universaiiy vecognized. Sir Joha thompson will take his plice at the head of the administration by the unanimous desire and consent of the party by which the administration is sustained. His abil- ity is beyond the question of the most pre- judiced opponents of that party. His per- sonal character is, so far, stainless. has won his position by the strength of his mental powers, by his unceasing industry, and by his integrity. His early efforts were not assisted by adventitious circum- stances. Yet he hes declined the highest, the safest and most honorable seat upon the Bench of Ganada to become the Leader of the Liberal-Conservative party and to take an active, exposed and haezsrdous part in those political struggles of the future which the continued growth and improve- ment of the great interests of the country will necessitate.

It must be pleasing to every-one in this part of Canada to know that our Premier was born and bred in the Maritime Prov- inces. The fact is creditable to the larger provinces as showing that they are ready to recognize the genuine ability which comes from down by the sea. A smal! environment is no bar to promotion in this Canade of ours. It is possible that even little Prince Edward Isiand, may, at some time in the future, contribute a Premier for all the wide extent of territory which extends from Cape Breton to Cape Scott.

That Sir John Thompson has an arduous task to perform, may be taken for granted. All the forces of legitimate and illegitimate opposition will be arraigned against him. Religious prejudice and political disunion- ism will be invoked by his adversaries. But on the other hand the true lovers of Canada, of every class and denomination, will firmly stand by him as his supporters,

and assure his administration a fair trial. a

The Proposed Hotel.

Ir is pleasing to have the assurance of the committee that they “very much regret” the publication of the Guardian’s ridiculous article anent the proposed first- class hotel. The Guardian, itself, admits, this morning, that its statement that the scheme was “dropped” was not inspired by them. We are therefore justified in the conclusion that it was merely one of the products of the Guardian's religious combination of self-suflicieacy and dis regard for truth. We apologize to the

committee for entertaining any other

opinion, even for s moment.

The committee say that, in their canvass, which was ‘‘only o partial one,” they ** met with several gentlemen who said they would take the matter into their con- sideration and let us know their determin-

ation later on. Others had agreed to take

stock, but had not signed the list.”

This statement, taken in connection with the fact that $10,500 have been actually subscribed, ought to reassure the friends of the enterprise and induce them to take

further action. We trust that they will do

80. The advice of a Western paper to its townsmen may be applied here and in this connection :

** Don't be a barnacle on the ship of pro- gress. Put your shoulder to the wheel and ive your town a boost on its onward march. Don’t listen to the dire predictions of the local croaker and mossback, but take counsel with the energetic, enterprising, plucky citizens who are devoting their time and best efforts to make a metropolis of your native place.”

_—_-— 6:¢°¢O ee"

—The Confederation movement in Aus- tralia has been lagging—like our hotel en- terprise—but ithasn't been ‘*dropped.” We are told that “‘preparations are being made for another conference of the Austriasian colonies on the subject of federation. The question has been fairly answered in each separate province and most of them have signified their assent to the movement. New Sveuth Wales will take the lead, the Government of that mother colony submitting, at an early date, a resolution calling for a full discussion of the whole problem. The sequel of the debate will be the introduc- tion by the Government of a draft bill, embodying the conclusicrs arrived at. It is taken for granted that a like proceed- ing will follow in each of the other col- onies and thus the path will be smoothed.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

The Medical Society.

Sir,—Your remarks in reference tu the action of the Medical Society's endeavoring to restrain druggis's from recommending remedies to customers, are timely. Many people have been under the impression for some time that legislative protection was sought for the medical fraternity of this Province more for the purpuse of creating a monopoly and increasing their income than tv guard the public from impostors and fraud,

The notice served upon the druggists looks very much like an effurt to place the people at the mercy of the doctors, to be taxed for every ailment, however slight, in order that a non-producing class may live in luxury at the expense of those from whose ranks, in many cases, these profes- sional men have sprung. I fail to see the right by which any one class of men are al-

lowed to combine in order’ to limit competition, fix charges and compel all, from the rich and prosperous to

the poor and unfortunate, to seek and pay for their services when there is not any actual need of doing so. As well might a law be passed to prevent « man’s going into business of any kind without s permit from those ale ready engaged thereia, cr a statute be enacted forbidding any one’s recommending, for its lawful and proper uses, the products of his ski] and industry, or the goods which he offers for sale in any line other than drugs.

I have great respect for our medical men. Many of them would not, individually, if they could, take advantage of the power which has been thoughtlessly given to them. But | do not hold them any better, or in any way more deserving of special laws or favors, than the favmers, merchants or mechanics, who may have been or may now be their immediate ancestors. There shou!d be no question as to the immediate repeal of the Medical Act. Its powers are being abused. Besides, it ia only tair and right that any qualified man should at apy time be at liberty to relieve the sick or infirm; and every man should have the right to choose his own physician without let or hindrance in either case. If the doctors are not able to live in accordance with their owa ideas of comfort, surely as men they should be too proud to seek /ega/ advantage at the ex- pense of othesr. In some cases they might have been far more successful had they been coatent to follow the path of life in which they epent the days of their childhood. OBSERVER.

It records evidences of agitation against the renewal of the alliance with England im- plied in the proposed visit of a British fleet.

At a recent meeting of shopkeepers’ assistants, after violent speeches had been made, a resolution was passed asking Lisbon tradesmen to close their shops for 24 hours if a British fleet came and to make other demonstrations against the alliance. The meeting closed with shouts of ‘ Down with the British Alliance.’”
