` THE CHARLOTTIITDWN GUARDIAN °'

UNDER NEB RULE.

The '.i‘i-ansvaal lsnow under sell-

government with General Botha as Premier, and ine angina population hu been sader considerable apprehension as to theproapects. There isa atrongBoer majority in the Learislature and Boer leaders hold all the principal oillcsa. But General Botha in a public address at Pretoria the other day gave a very assuring statoment ofhia attltudeand pollcy.Amcng other things he declared that.:-

Britlsh supremacy will be safer in the

hands of the Boers than in those of cosmopolitan capitalism. The question of the dag and of siipremacy having been settled for all time, both are now outside politics, and the concern oi the colonial government. is with domee- tic aii'airs. This clears the ground oi all ambiguities and willlead to the acceptance ia good faith of General Botha‘1 further statement that “Having got free govern- ment, our natural desire is, and our sole endeavor will be. soto govern that this ' country shall prosper and the two races be drawn together. At Vereeniging I signed the treaty oi pesos. I then solrmn- ly accept/sd what is so dear to you-your King and your ilag. They are now our King and our flag." This is good straight forward talk on its

face, and if the Boer Premier males an honest effect to carry out his avowed ioyaltv and good intentions there ought io be hereafter a growth ofgood feeling between the rival Britons and Bcers in the Transvaal.

WHAT D0 THEY THINK.

The present communication between Prince Ed ward Island and the other Pro- vinocs ol Canada is hy the Governmental, lnterprovlncial strap service at the Capes. This has been the case for a long time pest. The Government steamer Stanley ‘is laid up for repairs. The Minto is fast | in the ice. The strap service at the Cape,

is in-eguiar and intermittent. Yesterday

27th February along with others oi

March 6. Passengers can only come to or gofrom the Islind `by working their passage at the Capes. Freight cannot crossat ali.

What we want to know is what our con~

temporaries of the Mainland honestly

think of these.conditlcns; what do the public men of the Mainland Provinces think! The Government of Canada is under solemn treaty to provide efficient aid continuous steam communication, and after tl.lflv-fouryears the facts are as stated above. Do our contemporaries. or reasonable public mon wonder why under theseclrcumstauces there is dia- content In Prince Edward is and I

Ne irly five weeks ago at the anguesilon of a Georgetown correspondent The Guardian urged upon the Provincial Government the importance of guardlnu the only gateway boths Province for passengers, hy placing a medical ln- optctor at the Georgetown wharf, to turn hack any passengers from the infected districts on the Mainland. Had that pre- caution been taken much trouble and loss might have been averted.

ii0BLlli SUSTAINED. .`

Much tothe disappointment of some over-aaoguine Liberals in the west, the Conservative Government ol Manitoba wasanstalned at the polls in the general election of Thursday last. The majority has been reduced a little, but so far as known at this writing the strength of partial is 28 Government supportors to 18 Opposition ln a House of 41 members. A maiority of 15 is quite large enough for all purposes of good Government. Premi- er Rohlin has with him apparently two thirds of tho Legislature.

It becomes increasingly diilicult to dis-

possss a Government, whether federal or provincial in Canada these days. Long terms of power are becoming the rule. Followlnga Conservative term of 18 years, the Laurier Gcvsrnmentis now in its eleventh year. The Liberal party recent- ly held sway in Ontario for almost a third of a century. In Quebec the Liberal party has held office for ton years; in Nova Scotia twenty-four years and in Prince Edward Island sixteen years. The com- posite Government of New Bninewick under the late Mr Blair came into power in i883 and has since continued. It lsnow practically Liberal. The Bobbin Govern- ment in Manitoba, which has now gained a new lease ol’ power, first took omce in in 19(1) on defeat of,the Greenway Liberal Administration.

OLD AGE PENSIONS.

___ I

Sir Richard Cartwright in the Senate of

Canada has academically discussed the question of making provision for old ago. `He favors a plan of annuities by which the savings of the productive years oi life should be contributed in the form of weekly payments by the wage-earner, to be repaid with interest by the state in annual payments after the brneflciary had reached the age of 80 or 65. The trouble with this scheme would be that few of those who would most. need the old-age annunity would set aside from their earnings the stipulated weekly sum, while others would not consent to entrust such savings as they might make

to _the Government at the low rate ci, i say, 3 percent.

Sir Wilfrid Laurier has also given his

personal view of the matter. He holds that the person.-il contribution of the wage-earner should be supplemented by ii grant from the state. This'is, we believe, the underlying principle of the old-age penslonr-i systems in Denmark, Germany, Australia and New Zealand. The subject

is coming more and more to the front throughout the world. The British Hausa of Commons same time since di-elated in favor of old-age pensions, and Canada will no doubt in due time consid-

er it as is practical que: tion.

The new Russian Parliament which opened at Bt. .Petersburg March 5th,is composed of IU members.

The Bllrht numbers IN. the core of the govern- mmt’s solid support; the Left, nr straight Opposition is made up of 192 and the Centro of H6. The Council of the Empire,

an appointed upper House, has the power ofveto onaoy measure adopted by the Donma, 'on popular Chamber. The strength ol the people, however, lies ln the fact that the national credit depdnds upon the early establishment of stable Governmental in~tituticns. This can never be attained until the power ol the people's representatives is increased. giving them control ci the national nuances under a system of responsible government.
