'l`o the north on itiver -Narow they tlelivered yesterday three fierce couiiter-attacks from the fort- ress of ltozan i’ultusk and Novo Goorglvisk.

That is what we would have had to undertake in regard to public roads, aint so on over tho wholc field. We said, "No: we <lon't propose to do aiiytliiiig of the kind. lt is a senseless proposal to iii(-reuse the taxation upon it declining popiilniloii. What we nsk for is that better condi- tions be provided, so that. we may he able to snvo our population mid pro- vide better nienns for living nt lioinc.” And we stood h_v flint.

CULPABLE LETHARGY.
ln 1007, wlicn the ilominioii Govern-
ment agrced to increase the subsidies of :ill the provinces, the than Govern- nieiit in power lieri- st-nt up delegates to alll-iid thc coiivciition; and after all that we hail said :intl done they did not put in one vlaini of a single ct-nt! livery province was asked to pri-sont any claims it might have on special grounds. but our inen put in not one single claim. ’l`he_v look nit-roly what we would have i't-ccivctl if we had never sent .1 delegate to thc coiii`crcii<'c; and they onine homo, liaving done nothing. ltcnieniber, this nddcd to the hardship of our position, that Sir Wilfrid Laurier stated that the lcrnis that were then given wcr`c to be I"lN.-\l. and ITNAL- 'i`I'lIt.»\iSl.IC!
’l`h:it is thc record we had to faec

Ilow can you wniit- up now and put in large claiins, when ii go.iii»i'ul si-tlleiiicnt was inadc that was to extend dowli the future _vcars ?" We had to say, “Those deio- gates that went up there did not truly rt-prcseiit tho people of Prince Ed- ward island; and if they blundered and were incompetent, tho people of Prince Edward Island should not bc piiiiisiicrl for ull the yt-urs to come in-culisc of their in<'oiiipelcii<~e.” And so our case was licnt'd, and it was hoard by a tlovcrnnicnt with Sir Rob- ert liordcn at the head, ii Govei‘iiiiient; that siiowcd itself l'roiii the very lirst. to hi- desirous of in-tiring our claim in full and of doing us justice. Last night ni St. i’ctcr‘s llay Mr. liiclieaii was g\\lit>i'ous oiiollgli to give to int- thc whole credit of the siict-ess. That was all very wi-ll, and tho only li'o\i- ble with it is. that it is not uultc cor- rect. '|`ht- siict-css was owing, first of ull.
