AN OUTRAGE.
A strone feeling prevails ofa city
ia this «ity against the imposition tax fer Provincial purposes. There is good reason at the bottom of this feeling. Charlotte- town maintains al! the highways §wharves, etc., within its borders ata heavy cost, its share of the Dominion subsidy. Last year Charlottetown paid $10,824.16 for the repair of highways, and made maoy other payments which would necessarily

Province at large if the city corporation On an
had not assumed them. equitable
per capita basis Charlottetow n's share of the Dominicn subsidy would be about $20,000 a year,
of which is
expended throughout the country. Besides
all but the merest fraction
thie, Charlottetown pays a large proportion
of the income tax levied for Provincial
purposes. If, in addition to this, the Pro- vince should “scoop” all the moaey to be paid annually for liquor-seiling certificates the wrong will be outrageous. This money ought clearly, in justice, to go towards But Pre- mier Warburton’s proposition is to obtain an additional $5,000 to $10,006 a year out of the city, under cover of u Liquor Regu- lation Act. We protest againet the adoption : of this proposition. Thatthe representa- tives of country districts will be so mean aod as to take this money out ef the city, under the circumstances They caanot vote for it on the ground of righ; and they will not, we feel sure, vote for it on the ground that they represent temper- ance constituencies, Many temperance men throughout the country—perhaps a me jority—say that reveuue obtained as the result of the sale of liqnors is “ the price of blood ;” and will tue representatives of these men vote to unjustly take money so obtained out of the pockets of city tax payers? We trow not. Nor will the other class of teuiperance men and moderate men, who recogaize that the liquor traffic i§ fraught with evil and onght to be checkea, if not by total prohibition then by a

PRICE OF BREAD.
Advancing in England and on the Continent.
Loxpon, April 27.—There much epeculation throughout England and on the continentas tothe effect of war on prices of wheat and bread. M. Maline, the French premier, yesterday reporied to the cabinet that there was no need for anx- iety. He said that in addition to the exirt- ing stocks large quautities of grain and flour wereen route for France, to say nothing of the abundant haryest in Algeria and Tunis. At home the price of breed shows a further edvance.the cheapest quality now selling at four-pence.
At the enhanced rates for bread, the situation is becoming more serious. It now affects many of the farmer-, who refuse to sell, hoping for better prices. The Leeds Corn Millers’ Associaton bas further ad- vanced the price of floir, making the ri-e five shillings for the week. Other markets show the following increases: Ashford, 2 shillings per quarte ; \xminster,3 shillings; Bristol, 2 etillings; Liverpool, 61.to 9d per cental, and Dublin, 7s per quarter. The rise at Leeds is from 3s to€s per quarter.
A SPANISH LIBEBAL’S VIEW.
Maprip, April 28.—The Liberal re- minds Gen. Fitzhugh Lee that “Five days have elapsed of the fifteen he prophesied would suffice to drive the Spaniards ont of Cuba,” and asks: “In view of the little progress made whether Gen. Lee has not miscalculated.”
Continuing the Liberal save: “It appears that a coup de main upon Manilla is now intended, but the Spaniards ere quite con- fijent that the result will be disastrous to the Americans. There is great enthusia:m at Manilia, where 5,000 volunteers have keen enrolled, and a warm reception is be- ing prepared for the Americans.”
fa conelusion the Liberal prophesies that
is
friction will arise owing to Awerican ‘intrusio) ins the far east, where the
European powers and Japan have barely
eucceeded in establishing a medus vivendi and where European merchant sbips swarm.”
Spanish Finances.
Lonvoy, April 28,—The Madrid corres- pondent of the Standard says: The budget of 1898-99 shows 865,502,774 pesetas ex- penditure and 876,014,870 iacome, There

“REDUCTION OF RATES,
omamn a It is very pleasing to that Mr. Martin, M. P. has given cotice that he will eubmit to the House ef Commons a resolution setiing forth “That in the opiniou of this House it is expedient to reduce the rate for freight and passengers on the ,Priunce Edward Island Railway.” We feel sure that Mr. Martin’s speech up~ on this resolution will be an able cne and will contain some eve-openers for the re p~ resentatives of our big sister Provinces We know of few Goverument acts more expedient from every point of view than that of reducing rates of freight and pas- sengers ov the P. E. Island Railway.
DECEIVED AND DISCONTENTED.
In the course of an interview at Mont-
see
real, a few days ago, referring to the witb- drawal of taxation and revenue cousidera- tions from the Prohibition Plebiscite, Mr. Lapointe, secretary of the Licensed Victual- lers’ Association, said that “ these riders were distinctly promised us, and it is just interesta of the Govern- ours to have them there,
as much in the ment as it is in and the brewers, distillers and ourselves think that the Government should do its share.” It veeems that members of the Government andthe liquor dealers had made bargain which the Government
have broken. LOO

OPINION AT fiADRID,
Spain Will Not Withdraw Dishonored,
BELIEVED THAT WAR WILL BE A LONG ONE.
Maprip, April 27,1 a. m.—The genera! tone of the papers bear ont the opinion last cabled that the war will be a long one. As Senor Silvela, leader of the dissident Conservative:, has said, Spain has already lost the maierial advantages resulting from a possession of Cuba, but will fight to the last on the question of maintaining the flag, preferring to fi_ht America openly rather fthan America secretly fomenting Inenrrection.
The result of defeat, Senor S:lvela says, will only mean a loss of what has already gone, since Europe would ret allow an army of occupation in Spain pending the paymentof war indemnity. The conserva- tive leader says: “It daily becomes clearer that America ha: blundered intoa wer that will be disastrously expen sive to her, whatever the cutcome. The fault lies with jingo papers in urging American statesmen beyond the bounds of reasonable demands of gool government for Cuba. Americans justijed on that point, but not beyond it.”
The general op'nion arnong Spaniards is that America has coveted Cuba from the first. A b-tier balanced opinion, held by a few, is that she wished to secure a peace- ful and prosperous Cuba, owing to mutual commercial interests, but that, this ob- tained. the American governmeot conld not withstand the “jing> wave” which has svept the cona'ry.
It is argued that the war must he dis- astrous to the true interests of the United States. Spain intends to prolong it ‘until European interests are involved, and the powers are compelled to intervene in self~ defence or until the expected general con- flagration of Europe against Angio-Sa:on domination is brought about.”
Spain’s determination is to set the world “l'aze, rather than to withdraw from the vv. fii dishonored,
