VICTORIA PARK AND ROADWAY.

Tus new Victoria Roadway will be a vimely and appropriate contribution to the Jubilee year. While sonre persons are disposed to criticize some points in respect to it, the feeling of the citizens at large is one of satisfaction. When finished it will certainly reflect credit upon the Mayor and City Councillors by whose suecesaful efforts it has been obtained, and it will be a great additional attraction for strangers as well asa new delight to the citizens. Instead of the pain of seeing several feet of earth go to sea every year, our visitors and our citizens will now be able to enjoy one of the finest prospects in the Province, or indeed in any of the Provinces, from an advantageous point of view, and without trespassing upon the privacy of Govern- went House grounds.

We hope that seats will be placed at intervals around the poiat aud under Fort Edward, and that seats will also be placed near both entrances to the Park—that on the Brighton Road as well as that at the end ot Kent Street. Elderly and infirm percons seeking the pure air of the Park are often fatigued by the time they reach its approaches; and the prompt-supply of means of rest, as well as of enjoying the views, will be thankfully appreciated by them.

THE EUROPEAN SITUATION.

Tue Eurdpesn situation bas been ren- dered more critical than ever by the pre- posterous claims of Turkey upon Greece. Not content with demanding an indemnity of ten million pounds sterling ($50,000,000- 90) the unspeakable Turk wants the whole of Thessally. Thessally is described as the largest political division of ancient Greece, comprising in its fullest extent the eountry between the far-famed pass of Themropyle and the Cambunian moun- tains in one direction and between the range of Pindus and the Agean Sea in the other. But Thessally proper is the plain between the Cambunian mount- ains, with Mount Olympus in the north, Ossa and Pelion on the East, Mount Otbrys on the South and the Pindus

range in the west. The plain of Thessaly is the . most .fertlle region ef Greece; and it is one. of the

stragetic points of Europe. It is highly improbable that the powers will yield it yo Turkey’s overreaching greed; and if the Porte should persiet in its demands the war will probably assume largerdimensions shan ever. A peaceable arrangement of the matter will at all evemts require con- tinued unity of action on the part of the Powers; and this it will be the policy of the Porte to disturb.

ONLY WAITING!

The Guardian praises the Mai] and Empire because it praises the Hon. L. H. Davies for promptly contradicting a false report concerning the canned salmon of British Columbia. We cannot see that either deserve any particular credit in the matter. Occupying the position that he does, and possessed of the information that he had, Mr. Davies would, indeed, have been guilty of a gross direlection of duty to hig country if he had not promptly

“ overwhelmued the slander with disproof.” |

As for the Mail and Empire, it bas done in respect to-Mr. Davies in this case only that whicls has long been the habit of Liberal-Conservative journals todo. We are all, as a matter of fact, anxiously wait- ing an opportunity to give the Liberals eredit for some work, done at reasonabie expense, without boodling, that may prove to be really beneficial to the country.

Sir Charles Dilke, M. P., who is gener- ally accepted as an authority on foreign affairs, says that he bas great confidence in the King of Greece, whois one of the ablest statesmen living. Greece’s interests, Sir Charles added, would be better cared for in hia hands than in the hands of his ministers. Moreover, the King wason good personal terms with the Sultan.

NOTES AND COMMENTS,

—The Ottava correspondent of the Halifax Herald 1. marks that “ it ia cne of the mysteries of official life here that while a large number of the civil servants have been dismissed ‘ for purposes of economy ’ the cost of civil government is larger than before.”

Montreal Gazette: The Public Works Department is calling for tenders for the supply of coal to the public buildings at Ottawa. It is trusted that busine methods, as distinguished from “business is business” methods will govern al! cun- cerned. Mr. Tarte has more libel suits on pow than he has time to attend to.

—The large Tuckett tobacco factory at Hamilton bas warned 500 of its employes that they will be laid off at once, and that unless the Government’s resolve in reyard to the change in dety is departed from the works will be closed altogether. This is exactly the position taken in regard to the Montreal works. The tariff resolutions as framed are calculated to encourage the importation of the manufactured tobacco rather than of the raw leaf to be prepared in Canada,

— How the spoils system works! Not long ago an old and experienced lock keeper was dismirsed by Mr. Blair’s department aod a supporter of Mr. Tarte appointed in his place. Mr. Tarte was defeated iv Beauharnois, and soon after sent in a requisition for a large number of decapita- tions, including that of this lockkeeper. It seems that the man whom he had appointed spent nomioaticn Jay in Quebec dispens mg liquor in a bar room at Valley- field. It is also stated that the employes en the canal were ordered not to vote for the Conservative candidate on pain of dismissa]. Under the new order of things it would appear that Mr. Tarte’s party made some political gain, but the lock has suffered a considerable loss and the people must pay.

—Le Soleii remarks, anent the result of the Quebec elections, that “at last the people can breathe freely.” Upon this the Montreal Gazette remarks that some

eople undoubtedly can. There is Mr. Pacaud, for instance, whom the writers of Le Soleil are, no doubt, acquainted witb,

j as he directéd L’Electeur, which was Le

Soleil’s predecessor. Mr. Pacaud can breathe freely, because the Government which was prosecuting him to recover the $106,000 he obtained out of the Baie des Chaleurs job, and which got the judgments of two courts against him, will soon be out of the way, and a government of the partv which profited politically and financially ly the job will be in ite place. Mr. Laurier’s friends will not be hard on the mar who filled Mr. Laurier’s election fund coffers and paid Mr. Tarte’s election notea with his swag.

THE DAILY EXAMINER CHARLOTTETOWN, MAY 17, 1897, :

ESTEEMED EXCHANGES.

Montreal Star: Mr. Fielding shoud have reserved the tariff commission en- quirv until after he bad brought dewn his tariff”

Ottawa Journal: The Dingley bill may be a verv bad bill, but it lets books into the United Siates free. In Canada the free trade regime increases the duty on all but the trashiest | ooks.”

Ottawa Journal: One interesting point raised by the remarkable etliciency of the Purkisb administration of the war with Greece is how is it that 80 eflective a gov- ernment could do so little to check massa cres in Armenia?

Truro News: The increase of the tariff on tobacco has cause | at least one man to try to give up the habit of smoking. An elderly Colchesier farmer, who has smoked all bis lite, bought a $l package of No-to- bac at a town drug store this week.

Montreal Star: It is reported that Li Hung Chang’s last visit to Pekin cost him about one million sterling in tips and bribes. But if the tipping babit continues to grow with us at the rate of the last quarter century it will be worse here lone before wereach the age of the celestial emplre.

Montreal Gazette: In the Honse of Commons the other evening Mr. Tarte spoke of the clerks of the Public Works Department as “my employes.” Liberal ministers are, perhaps, to be excused from thinking they own the earth just now, but it is hardly advisable to show it so plainly. The governmental departments’ masters change,more frequently than the men.

Montreal Gazetie: Mr. Bavin’s resolu- tion in favor of free agricultural imple- ments served a purpose in showing that the Patron members are simply the tools of the Liberal party in Parliament, ready to swallow their alleged principles when- ever their masters’ interests make such a pocess necessary. The Davin resolution wa? hardly needed, however, to inform the public of this tact. ‘Lhe pub.ic know the Patrons.

Bishop Tucker has written “Tbe Times” expressing the opinion that a more disap— pointiog document has rarely, if ever, been sent out of the Foreign Office than that lately issued on the subject of slavery in Zanzibar and Pemba. The proposal of the Govern ment only gives limited freedom to male slaves and practically binds the women in closer and more cruel fetters. Should @ woman demand her liberty, it will be refused should she be claimed by her Mohammedan master as a concubine; and the male slaves are to be “free” and yet compelled to work for their masters, Moreover only one-half of the Sultanate is dealt with, Mombasa and all the territori«s ot the Sultan on the mainland within the ten mile limit are to be exeluded

Buffalo News: “The Queen has thrown her great influence for the abolution of slavery She mainatins a high standard of social morality at her own court, and her example is powerful for good. Her reign hae been in mauy ways the best for her people in sll the history of Britain. For ali this she deserves honor. The world has been better for her personal influence in the exalted place she holds. The people of all Endlich spesking cour- tries on earth can join heartily in bonoring this good women. Not alone the British born residents of Buffalo, but those of other natioralities who realize the usefu’= ness of her life as a check on radical and vindictive policies in her government, may well take part in the coming celebration of her long and prosperous reign.”

New York Times: “We judge that tne arbitration treaty was beaten because Eng- land is. a gold -standard country and because it was negotiated by Grover Cleve- land and Richard Olney. With few ex- ceptions the twenty six Senaters who voted against ratification are free silver men. Many of them are rapid enemies of Cleve- land. They have nothing else in common —except their gross unfitness to sit in the Senate of a civilized nation. There is not a man among them who is not thoroughly discredited in public life. Many of them are tiresome old ranters who have not uttered or had a new idea in the last ten years. Oneof them is a thief. One of them is Marphy. Io the sight of other civilized natiors we blush for these men, of conrre. But we know them to~ be absolutely unrepresentative of American life and feeling.”
