to the widow of the late Hon. Edward Whelan.

As to the jatter claim, the annval grant of $300 to Mrs. Whelan was made in recognition of her husband’s eminen! services to Prince Edward Island Will

the people of Prince Edward Island now consent toa demand upon the Dominion Government for arbitration in regard to it? Shall it be said that they are so mean, so hard up, that they want to be recoured the pittance paid to the widow of the man who, injconjunction with the Hon. George

Coles. secuved for them the inestimable boons of responsible government end free education? The

yearly grant to Mrs. Whelan amounts to jess than a quarter of a cent per head of the population of the Province; and Mr.

Peters wants it back,—with interest of course! Ifthe people of Prince Edward Islawd consent ‘o be robbed of the credit o

maintaining Mrs. Whelan—and they wil} do so if they vote for Mr. Peters’ proposal — we submit that the matter ought not, out of good feeling as well as good business, to be pressed until atter she has paid her debt to nature and psssed away from earth, Let not the bitterness of her declining year be increased by the knowledge that the people for whom her husband lived and labored paid her $300 a year with a grudge; and, even before her death, were so anxious to get the money back into their treasury, that they endorsed Mr. Peters’ proposal that a court of arbitration be held to investigate the matter and authorized its repayméut by the Govern- ment of Canada.

In respect to the claim arising out of excessive railway expenditures, the demand for arbitration was so ill-considered and ridiculous that it is now withdrawn. Mr Peters felt in his bones that he dared not appeal to the people of Prince Edward Island on his record. In a strait, his fertile brain conceived the idea of submit- ting our claims against the Dominion Gov- ernment to arbitration and encouraging the hope that taxpayers would be relieved. But finds pow that the chief of our claims is not a fit subject for arbitration as between the Government of Prince Edward Island and the Government of Canada—at any rate, it won’t go; and so: he now says “it is not intended to in- clude @ny question as to the railway ex- teneions in the Province now under consi-

deration.”

Bat there remains, the claim arising out of the failure of the Dominion Govern- ment to fulfil the terms of Confederation in regard to continuous commupication.

TWO FACED CANVASS.

A well-informed correspondent writes to Tue Examiner to denounce “the iniquitous two-faced canvass now being made by the Peters condidates, and in their interests. “The votes of railway employes are,” h> says, “solicited with the understanding that if they vote right their positions will be safe. Our clergy and public moralists will be able to appreciate at its value this spec:es of bribery, the exchange of a public position for a private vote. Then, on the other side, the disappointed cffice seeker is promised that as soon as _ the elections are over the railway will be cleaned out re- gardiess of how the present employes vote !

Was ever such perfidy known? Will the independent people of this province support small politicians who descend to such contemptibly dishonest

methods? Whois it that the grits are intending to deceive? The employe whose vote they get upon the promis e that his place willbe secure? Or are they deceiving the one to whom they have promised the position? The candidate

CAMPAIGN NOTES.

This day week is nomination day. Work, boys, work.

Hon. William Campbell was nominated at a meeting held in Bedeque last evening. A colleague wili be nominated at an ad- journed meeting to be held tomorrow evening. The Liberal-Conservative pros- pects are excellent.

Most encouraging reports come trom all parts of the countrv. The Peters star reems to be on the wane and the Peters sentinels On the watch towers scar the sea in vain for a glimpse of the hberal wave. The choice of Messrs. McDonald and Arsenault for the Third, and Lefurgey and DesRoches for the Fourth Dis- tricts —s of Prince is a __ highly ee one. These gentlemen will report favorably on election day. Enthusiasm runs high in these districts. The general opinion is that Gallant, God- kin and McMillan have seen the last of their seats in the legislature for some years tocome. The First and Second Districts of Prince are also preparing a hot fight, and Messrs. McWilliams and Richards have a hard road to travel this trip,

Reports Submitted and Officers for tie Year Elected.

The Grand Lodge of the Independent Order of Good Templars is in session in Chariottetown. The opening meeting was held yesterday in Wright’s Hall, with a fair attendance of delegates.

The reports of the various Grand Lodge officers showed the Order to be in a flour- ishing condition. There have been nine new lodges organized during the year, and the net gain in memLership is 133.

A resolution was adopted calling upon the Government to submit the matter of prohibition to the people free from any other question, and thus keep faith with the temperance people who supported them with the expectation of a prohibition plebi- scite pure and simple.

A resolution was also adopted complain- ing that the Scott Act was not being properly enforced in the eastern section of King’s County, and ask‘ng that the entire County be placed under charge of prose- cutor Bears, who is a most efficient officer.

At the evening session the election of officers was proceeded with.

This morning Grand Lodge met at 9.30 o’clock. A fair number of representatives was present. The business of this ses- sion was merely of interest to good Templars. It was decided that the next annual session of Grand Lodge take place in July 1898 at Eldon.

Mr. George W. Irving the representa- tive from the Grand Lodge of P. E. Island to the International Supreme Lodge which met at Zurich, Switzerland, gave 4 very interesting report of the International Supreme meeting and received a hearty vot+ of thanks.
