FAIRPLAY WANTED.

We are under no necessity or obligation to defend Tse Examixer’s esteemed cor- respondent, Mr. W. S. Stewart. Nor are we prepared to admit that Mr. Stewart’s scheme of Provincial reform is superior to that recently outlined by Tue Examiner. But we contend that Mr. Stewart ought to have simple fairplay from his critics, whoever they may be. The Patriot builds 8 misieading argument upon a statement that Mr. Stewart did aot make, viz., that “there will be only $45,000 left for education.” Mr. Stewart said nothing of the kind. He evidently contemplates the continued maintenance of Prince of Wales College end the payment of superintendent, inspectors and other charges upon educa- tion. His statement is that, if his sugges- tion be adopted, the ordinary revenue “ will be sufficient to meet al) the services of the Province except the payment of teachers’ salaries, and leave a balance of about $45,000, which can be devoted to education, and the balance required for the payment of teachers can be raised by the trustees.” It must be remembered that Mr. Stewart proposes to make ends meet —nottorun into debt at the rate of $50,000 or $60,000 a year after the manner of Mr. Peters. Whether or not the pro- position to leave the balance of the teachers’ salaries to be raised by the trustees will be bourne out by public opivion remains to be seen. It ie, however, certain that the amount of our Provincial grant for education is very far out of proportion to that of any other province in Canada. It is also, we believe, certain that the people have come to the conclu- sion that while other expenses are to be cut down, the continuous increase of the Provincial grant for education must cease.

Mr. Stewart has had the courage to pro-

ound a simple plan by which the Previews may be saved from the ruin that {s inevitable if the present course be pur- sued. The measure that he proposes may or may not be considered too radical. Let hin not, atall events, be misrepresented. He is entitled to fairplay.

THE FISHERIES JUDGMENT.

CommenTING upon the recent Fisheries Judgment of the Supreme Court, the Mon- trea] Gazette says :—

“Tt is a singular fact that in the United States a uvion of sovereign States dele- gating certain functions to a central Fed- eral Government, the decisions of the Supreme Court of that country, interpret- ing the constitution have been of a char- acter to steadily strengthen the federal power, till now the Washington Congress aod Government exercise authority that the frarners of the Union did not contem- piste. In Canada, on the other hand, though, under the constitutional act, the Provinces are presumed to have only the powers epecially delegated to them, the residue being with the Dominion, the ten- dency of the interpretation of the law by the courts has been to favor the Provinces, and to strengthen their position at the expense, many have thought, of the Do- minion. The Dominion License Act had the approval of some of the foremost men among the “fathers of Coufederation,” oa which the B. N. A. Act was based, and who watched the passage of that measure through the Briti*h Parliament. Yet it was held to be unconstitutional and an nfringement on the rights of the provinces when it was brought before the courts. The Streams Case illustrated to some ex

tent the same inclirat«n The Escheats Case from Ontario and the Maritime Bank Ca e from New Brunswick are also i! us- trations in i. The opinion of the Privy Council in the prohibition case was, in some respects, in the same line. A like tendency is shown inthis fisheries Opinion, as indicated inthe re:narks of

r. Justice Girouard, io rendering it. It might have been more politic, he said, and

‘in the interest of the people of the Do-

minion, that the Confederation Act should have placed the forerhores, the rivers and great lakes and all navigable waters upon the footing of public harbors,a footing that would bave given the Domision con- trol over both the watera and fisheries therein. Following the letter of the law, however, and guided by precedent, the Supreme Court has given an opinion that, ifit goes unquestioned, wi'l leave the Doumnion Fisheries Department with com- paritively little to do. The Dominion is declared to have power to tax the product of the fisheries, it is true, but it is a power that ehould not be used. It bas aleo cer- tain powers of regulation, it would appear, but these can be equally well exercised by the provinces in whom, and not in the Dominion, the ownership as represented in the Crown, is held to rest. The Do- minion bas epent on and received consider- able sums in connection with the fisheries. The latter fact is not unlikely to be made the subject ofa provincial claim. There is also the payment under the Washington Treaty of 1871 for the employment by U. 8. fishermen, for a limited term, on the

iveleges of the shore fisheries of the

aritime provinces, and the ;ayment on account of modus vivendi licenees since 1887, which legal ingenuity might make the basis of a provincial demand. The sit- uation is one which makes it necessary t» get the opinion of the Privy Council on the question. [t alone speaks with author- ity as the tribunal! of fina! resort, and its voice alone can be accepted as definitely declaring what the law ie, whatever its de- gigners may have thought it was or meant it to be. The large private interest at stake, not less than the public ones, make an appeal to great Britain imperative.

j

oia)] Savings Bank been sufficient to almost cover the floating debt of the Province at the banks? Mr. Peters has contrived to envelop ia Cimmerian darkness a matter which ought to be as clear as the noon- The expediency of adopting Tux EXaMixer’s proposition that a statement of the and debt be published at the end of each

day. Provincial reveaue, expenditure, month or quarter, is evident in view of

the doubt and uncertainty that at present

exists.

o-oo NOTES AND COMMENTS:

—The Toronto Star points out that “As an argument to strengthen his plea for funds for the University, President Lou don points with pride to the fact that within four years four score graduates of the institution have been appointed to high positions in American collegee.” That certainly is an insufficient ground for a further expenditure of the public funds of Outario upon the institution.

— Berlin officialdom is showing its teeth towards England juet now, Emperor William has caused a notification to be made to certain leading German steam- ship lines that in future all steamships owned by companies in receipt of state subsidies aust be constructed in German shipyards. The notification, which ap- pears to have been communicated verbally through a ministerial channel, is eaid to have been called forth by the number of vessels which are in course of construction by British firms for German companies.

—Tue Examixer has been desired to explain why a banquet is now to be ten- dered the Hon. L. H. Davies. “What great thing, ” it is asked,“bas he done or accomplished.” To this we reply that that which probably actuates the promoters of the banquet is, not the great things that Mr. Davies has done, but the great things that he is expected todo! Political gratitude, we are told, consists in a keen appreciation of benefits to come. This is the appre- ciation that is to be shown at the Libera! banquet. Apart from this, Mr. Davies has personal friends here who will be glad of an occasion to do him honor

—The London Railway News, in an ar- ticle on the British railway system, gives the following figures showing the length of

business done last year :—

4frica has written to a friend giving his impressions of that country. He is not very favorably impressed with the country and thinks its possibilities are exaggerated. There are more men seeking employment there than can be accomo- dated with work. There sre three Mr. Roy writes, for every position to be filled. The line of railway over which Mr. Roy is chief engineer is three hun- dred miles long. Is is a narrow gauge road the rails being but tbree feet and a half apart and the curves at an ang'e of 20°, which he writes, beats the curves on theO&G Ry. The country through which the line passes is very mountainous. SaaS SS ss

NEWS NOTES

The author of the Bonnie Brier Bush will probably make more money from the platform than from the press. He spoke for an hour anda half at Toronto this week and pocketed a check for $1,500 a his share of the receipts.

Lord Roeebery, speaking at a non parti- ran banquet at Colchester, Tuesday, said he fully agreed with Lord Salisbury in the Premier’s Turkish policy. Lord Rosebery said he bad a strong conviction, which no amount of rhetoric could destroy, that isotated interference in Turkey on the part of Great Britain would result in @ great European war.

A twelve year old boy at Parma has just had his heart washed. He was suffer- ing from acute sericarditis, and his doctor, using an instrament invented by Prof. Riva, drew off the purulent serous matter in the sac, and then washed the heart and its serofibrous covering with a solution of biborate of soda. The boy recovered rapidly.

The London Times publishes a deepatch from Constantinople, dated Oct. 19, stating that the embassies have compiained to the Porte against the condemnation to death of an innocent Armenian named Vartupn, whose release was promised by the govern- ment. The Porte was warned that if the prisoner was not released furthwith serious measures would be taken jointly by tue powers.

Mr. Pritchard Morgan is talking about resigning his Welsh seat in Parliament a« & step to bring Mr. Gladstone back to politics, and a good many seem to approve of the idea. It would be an extraordinary thing for amanof 87 to return to the leadership of a party atter giving it up on account of age and feebleness, but Glad- stone is an extraordinary man. He might even veature to aspire to the premiership again and fall,

The British North American Squadron is becoming something imposing as an exhibition of maritime fighting force. The Talbot, lately arrived at Halifax, is one of the most powerful vessels in American waters. She will shortly be joined by the Renown, one of the greatest and most modern of battleships; and after the Re- nown willcome the Daring, one of the fleetest of torpedo boat destroyers. With the Intrepid and the other vessels the reinforced squadron will be something that has never been approached for effective strength on the station.

which deducted from the total receipts will leave a balance rnrsceries pascecceegacssegh see reat This amouat is all than can be counted upon as @ yearly revenue if the Land and Iucome taxes be repealed. It is useless, in endeavoring fo arrive at a proper finan- cial scheme, to calculate oureceiving auy- thing from the land office. That source of revenue is well nigh exhausted. We will receive, it is true, each year for a few years to come, a small amount; but it is not worth while, in making calculatious fur the future, to take into account either the receipts or expenses of the land office. The cost of managemen: of that office should, as its receipts grow smaller, de- it crease ;and whenever it fails to be self- 4: staining, should be closed, and with its abolition should go the office of Provincial Secretary-Treasurer,

The total expenditure last year was $310,177.20, and 111,098 38 of this war paid for teachers’ salaries. This would show that the cost of all other services was $199,078.82.

If the government were to discharge all these other services outof the ordinary tixed revenue I have mentioned, the expen- diture on these services would have to be cut down by about $30,000 from what i! was last year before the government would be able to give $45,000 in aid of teachers’ salar‘es ; that is, before this amount could be paid, the other services must be met with about $160,000. Is it possible to do this and have an efficient management of public atfairs? I have given the matter a good deal of consideration and believe it can be done. I am encouraged in this belief by the fact that the present Chief Justice, Mr. Sullivan, for eight years (from 1882 to 1829 inclusive) provided for the paymentof all the services of the Province except the teachers’ salaries with an average anoual amount almost as small. The average annual expenditure during those eight years was $276,159.94, and the average anoual amount paid for teachers’ salaries was $96,423.03. It would appear, then; that the other services duriog his management of those years cost on @n average yearly a very small fraction over $179,000. I am aware that the average interest which Mr. Sullivan paid in those years was Only a little over $4,000 a year, whereas from this out we will be called = to pay for interest $20,000 a year. From this it would appear at first sight that we would have to meet these services with almost $26,000 a year less

than Mr. Sullivan met them with.

And if no other reductions can be made, we will surely receive for at least ten yeara to come anet amountof $8,000 a year from the public laud». But other redne- tions can be made. The road supervisors cost on an average about $3,000 a year. I would abolish the whole of them. They are paid not only by salary, but by com- mission, and have gradually developed into little more than boodle dispensers for their mastere, the government of the day. The public weal is not their motto, and in the opinion of the vast naajority of the people their usefulness is completely gone. $2,000 a year can be saved by their sbolition. How? = Appoint two road inspectors, one for Prince and the other for King’s County at asalary of $500 each, and let the Commissioner of Publie Works, who can have little todo in the office in Charlottetown, look after Queen’s County. Anengineer, of course, a3 in che past, will have to be kept in connection with the Department of Public Works.

We can also save over $3,700 a year if we adopt a system of biennial sessions; and why vot make the saving ? Biennial sessions are in vogue in a great inany of the States of the Union—States whose legislatures make laws for and manage the affaires of mi'lions of people—and they have been found to work well. If the inhabitants of large and wealthy communities can adopt euch @ system with advantage and - profit, why not little P. E. Island, striving in vain 80 far to find enough money to meet- the requirements of the public service. Surely our public men are as trustworty and howest as those of the neighboring republic. Iu my opinion the country need not feel the least alarm over the adoption of this system. Experience bas tanght us that the party will back up its government through thick and thin, no matter what it does and whether the legislature meets once or twice a year or only every second year, will make little difference. We have had many remarkable instances of condon- ing of executive wrong-doing by the major- ity of our legislature Taviag the past five ears.

Exhibitions cost this Province about $6,000 a year, a sum entirely too much for our revenues and the benefits con- ferred. By holding these shows every eecond year, $3,000 yearly can be saved. Let the change be tried and it will be found that in addition to lightening the demands on the treasury, the epeedily waning interest in these Exhibitions will revive, It is felt that the general public do not, as is desired, participate in their advantages. In fact, it is more than hinted that most of the benefits do not extend many miles beyoud the city. It would surely be better to make a change than that by following the present plan we permit them to die out entirely from want of appreciation onthe part of the public.

There will be another large saving by the repeal of the land and income taxes: It now costs at least $1,500 a year for the machinery that exists in Charlottetown alone for their collection.

THE EXAMINER’S PROPOSITIONS,

Sir,—The plain, yet comprehensive form in which you have placed the fourteen pro- positions before the public in’ Tae Ex- AMINER of the 16th., commands earnest attention. The interchange cf ideas will certainly lead to a condition of progress, and should, therefore, not be expressed upon the basis of prudential maheskine, I

reform, either legislative or executive, was ever originated in any country by its rulers. The lever of reform must therefore rest upon the fuleram of the pres; and earnest public sentiment.

Your ninth and tenth propositions refer toa matter which has become a public disgrace. We are in no doubt touching the subject of bribery and corruption. It has become chronic. The bull must Le taken by the horns, and as you sry fines and penalties must be iunpheed strong enougli to prohibit bribery.

The man who would rob his neighbor out of the decisive force of his vote de- serves to be held in scorn and contempt, whether Grit or Tory. Our elections at the present time are a humbug, a farce, a ecandal and a fraud, devriving free men of their eonstitutioval rigit-; and the great trouble is, that if any person speaks out with the courage of ils Cony ic he is looked upon asasetter forth of strange gods. The element of just'e* can never be super- ceded by fraud in politics or in anything else, and to wreck the Character of young men, 43 seen in the fact that being paid by

iubs,

both parties they spoiled their ballots, is surely a subject for hosest men to grappl with. What is wanted is, that thore who

lead shovJd show a bold and_ generous leadership, With good leadership I think the honest voters would not ehriok from the duty of protecting themselwes., Let the mark of Cain be placed upen the brow of the men who would rebusoft our rights In this respegt, anddet thgmle held severet, responsible by pains delipontitien that wiil, at least {6 Some extent, relieve us from the evils whith are keeping us in moral, social and political degredation.
