THE COLLEGE CONTRACT.

Tue Patriot does not agree with Tue Examiner that the new Prince of Wailee College building will cost more than $28,000. But time will demonstrate the accuracy of our statement, notwithstand- ing the Patriot’s great faith in Premier Farqubarson.

There is, however, another very portant point to be noted. The plan according to which the contractors are now working is the one that was submit- ed by Mr. Chappell some time ago, ex- Principal’s apartments

ime

cepting that the have been changed to class~roome.

Upon this plan as originally submitted it is said that the firm now doing the work offered tocomplete the contract for $19,- 000. The change that has been made in the plan materially cheapens the cost of erection, yet the contractors are to be paid $28,000!

In other words $9,000 of the people’s money is practically thrown away.

In the meantime the teachers are de- prived of their supplements and the farm~ ers are without their exhibitions.

Such is economy under Liberal rule. i+ <> -<—

NATIONAL INDEBTEDNESS.

A very interesting computation of the debts of the various nations is given in a late issue of the Banker’s Monthly. It is very difficult, in fact impossible, the writer in the Monthly says, to make the calcula- tion with strict accuracy, as many of the emaller countries donot publicly state exactly the amount of their foreign ang domestic obligations, Buta careful etudy of the official publications of all countries of the world and a partial examination of the different estimates of the debts of thse countries which publish no statistics, en- ables the Monthly to give ds the nearest approach to the amount of the pational debts of the worlda tota) of £6,120,- 991,258, or 293 billion dollars. France is the greatest debtor in the world, the amount of her national obligations being £1 224,046,250. Next to France comes England with a national indebtedness of £640,773.67, or $3,118,004,722, Austria~

THE PROHIBITION QUESTION.

Sin,—It is clear that the age of fanatics is by no means past and that in spite of the loud talk of free education and the wonders it has accomplished for menkind in general ignorance is still rampant. Quotations are made from the speeches of several prohibition orators and writers who claim from their standpoint that probibition prohibits. — W. H. Thorne, editor of the Globe Quarterly Review, published in New York City, says: “It is useless toargue with such angele, they simply flap their wings in your face, think they haye smothered you and go off to flap their wings eleewh-re. It is useless to cell them that Maine is ihe most drunken, irreligious, and bypocritical state inthe Union. They simply do not believe you and there’s au end to it,”

The Daily Kennebec Journal, an organ publisbed in the State of Maine, seems to show that Prohibition over there does not prohibit drunkenness. It speaks thue: “The years of 1893-94 will be noted in the jail annals of this state for the number of commitments, that of the past year, 6176, being over 2000 greater than duriog an year previous to 1893, when the num- ber of committments was 4,987. Also in the number of committments for drunken- ness the excess Over previous years i8 noticeable. In 1894 2,808 were sent to jail for drunkenness, 900 more than in the previous vear and there were over 400 more tramps committed than in 1893.” Where did these 4,987 drunkards get their liquor ?

Boston Evening Journal: ‘*According to arecent despatch an examination of the returns from the jails of the State of Maine the past year with thoze of pre- vious yvearsg gives some _ striking figures, which are worthy of study. ‘here were increases in every variety of offence over previous years, for which jail senterces are given, These figures are suggestive and indicate an amount of crime and lawlessness which is to be re- gretted,”

“ Bancor, Maine, February 10th, 1892. —The grand jury reported today ,and among the indictments were considerably over 200 cases. It has leaked ont that there has been a general row in the grand jury room over the indictment of |.quor sellers Some of the jurora were for in* dicting all the liquor eellers, druggists, grocers, hotel men, and all. They expected to indict fully 1,500 dealers, but by a com- promise they brougbt the number down so that oaly Bangor dealers are affected.”

The following extract is taken fiom THe Examiner, May 27th, 1895.— New temperance .organization. The National ‘'emperance Union just organ- ized im Chicago is composed of men and women who believe that the Women’s Christian Temperance Union bas outlived its usefulness and is impraciicable in its operations. Its aims are thus explained by one of the organizers: “We will not be

Hungary together are a close third with national obligations of £606,400,900 ; and ltaly occupies the fourth rank with a debt of £518,141,619. The British colunies if grouped together might be given the fifth place, the aggregate of their debts being £474,636,000, the most of which is set down wo Australasia; but the writer thinks it is well to note that the debts of the Antipodean colonies as well as those of Canada and other British possessions have been incurred chiefly in the construction of railways and other public works, un- lik2 those of European countries which have been contracted chiefly in wars. Russia has a debt of £395,000,000, or $1.922,070,008, and is fifth among the separate nations in this respect. It will be seen that more than one-half the total of the national debts of the world is set down to the five European powers above referred to. The most rapid increase in the piling up of debt took place between 1862 and 1872, the Franco-Prussian and American this period. The average annual increase in tlo3e years was two hundred million pounds, Since that time there has been cowpara~ tive quiet, but the average annual increase has reached seventy three million pounds. Great Britain occupies a unique position among European nations in that sheis rapidly reducing her national debt. In the year 1862 thedebt of Great Britain amounted to £820,000,000. During the list ten years the reduction has been very rapid, aggregating nearly one hundred miilion pounds and leaving the total at the present time, £820,000,000. If no great wars intervene itis not unlikely that the first decade of the next century will find the British national debt no larger than it was iu the first decade of the present cen- tury.

In everything we shall aim to be practical. Men and women will work side by side in this mut~ ter, and politice will be dropped.” Watchman, Nov. 26th,1896: “In the police court at Portland, Maine, the other day,@ father and his three sons, aged

A vote on prohibition is to be taken in the Dominion of Canada, sept. The result is said to be in doubt, but it wouldo’t be if the people of Canada could study for themete)lves the working of the prohibitary law in Maine. “ This is sound logic which the people of Canada shouid follow.”

THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC.

—

Sir,—If anyone doubts the controlling power of the liquor traftic, we have only tu look at the present state of affairs in Charlottetown. The churches, both Catho- lic and Provestant, seem to be utterly | powerless. The ram mills are grinding | away. Many are the homes of cufferivg and sadness. The air is nightly rent with blasphemy. Young men, the flower of the community, are going down before our eyes, and as the good book says, “my people love to have itso.” Yet, some pro- fessing to be God’s people, are not only indifferent but are today working on the side of the liquor men. Has the power of the pulpit completely gone?

C.

A QUESTION.

Sir,— Will seme one please explain the reason for the poor electric street light service of late. For sometime past several of the blocks in various parts of the city have been without light for a portion of each evening, and last night the whole east end was without light. The previous night only some of the lamps were going, and Jast Saturday evening one or two re- fused to shine. Is this the service the citizens are paying for ?
