NOTES AND COMMENTS.

—In Canada we have no real aristoc» racy but that of intellect, of nobility, Tnomas D'Arcy McGee was a conspicuous ornament down to the time of bis tragic death in 1863, Always poor in money he was rich in the priceless gifts of eloquence, patriotism and love for his fel» lows. Goto the Y. M,C. A. Hall on Thursday evening and bear the story of Mc@ee’s life. Proceeds in aid of Prince Street School Library fund.

—As the Patriot has maintained pruden silence about the expotu e made in refer- ence ‘0 itscontradigtory accountsof t ¢@ nature of the mission of the Island dele- gates to Ottawa last March,perbaps ifr. Attorney General McDorali, one of the delegates, will now explain to his consti~ tuents, whether he was there for the Bridge and Railway or for money to replnish an empty treasury wiich even the land tax, income iax, tax on banks, Commercial Trav«lier’s taxfInsurance Companies tax and the dead man’s tax fail to accomplieh.

—The coon hasn’% come down. Tue Examiner maintains the position that it has held from the first,—with regard to the carriage of our mails. Whether Con-

ervatives or Liberals are in power at Ottawa, the best facilities availabie ougbt to be supplied by a Government which is bound to afford “voniinuous” communica- tion for mails and passengers, winter and summer. Horsesand tleighs ought not. for the sake of a few doliars, kere or there, to be preferred to a railway—even though a special train be required. As the Patriot resorts to the figures of speech, we may be permitted to refer to thefox which tried ten tricks and was caughtat last. The Patriot withell its windings and twistings has been caught, not enly in re- spectyto ite false report that Mr. Martin was opposed to the proposed Hillsborough Bridge, tat also in respect to its states meuts anent the mails.

—We publish in to-day’s isene Mr. Martin’s letter addressed to the Editor of the Patriot which that paver refused to pallish. After continuing a most unfair aod unjustifiable attack on Mr. Martin for weeks, the Patriot has shown the white feather. In ite refusal to putlish Mr. Martin’s last letter it verified the old say~ ing that “discretion ie the better part of valor.” The Patriot is literally anvibi~ lated by the last letter of the plucky M. P. for East Queen’s. It is significant that though the Patriot refused to publish this letter,“it bas lately devoted two articles to the subject. Having given up any idea ot beating Mr. Martin in fair Jargument, the writer fur the Patriot is ver anxious that Mr. Martin sbould resign. The people might well ask it Sir Louis and hie Government wll resign. Will the Attorney-General resign, bis cosl«boring trick and his mine having exploded ? Perhaps Mr. D. A. McKinnon will resign for the same reason. As there is evidently nothing in the great arbitration gold-mine —P.E. Island’s Klondyke—the Govern- ment mayall resige. Their resignation would certainly be in the gecera! interest. But there is po reason, whatever, why Mr. Martin snould resign,—and many reasons why he should hold hie seat until] the rights of Belfast have te u won.

LETTER FROM ALEXANDER MARTIN, M. P.

——

Yo the Elitor of} the Patriot,—

Sir,—I have to thank you for a marked copy of the Patriot, containing my letter of the llth, and what I suppose by courtesy I may call your reply. After reading it over I might well question the propriety of continuing @ discussion with « journal ao unfair, 8 UWhnscrupulous, and 20 lust to every sense of justice and fair-play, But knowing the desperate straits to which you have been reduced in this discussion, crowing ;a8 youwe}l do, that you have not a scieatilla of anything approaching good evidence to prove your first charge— which you were torced to withdraw,.adeed, or any of the other charges you preferred against me, it ie perhaps not to be wonder- ed at that youshould adoptsuch tortuous and i/logical arguments (if they are worthy of the name) to cover your defeat. That you have degraded your paper by specious aod dishonest statements must be appas rent to ,eve'y far-minded jseader, in proof of which [ refer both your readers aod youreelf tothe following as specimens. Take this for example. You say, because the Conservative Party proposed the Hills- borough Tunnel scheme,” some twelve years ago—and did not see eye to eye with some of the Liberal Party as to the

best mcde of initiating _— the railway and bridge project, therefore the Conservatives were

opposed to the Bridge, and, to be consist- ent, I should withdraw from them. Do you reelly believe that is a good argument? If you do I give youthie faet,and see where your argument will land you: Sir L. H. Davies advocated the buildiog of the Belfast Ra lway from Peake’s

‘to Wood Island Breakwater. According ‘to your argument, if I may call it one, ) Sir Louis was not only opposed to the pres- ent route but tothe bridge as well. And | what about the celebrated Thompson road steamers your party deceived Belfast with ? | What about the Electric Railway ? But l:fe is too short—and why continue ? Again you condemao the Conservative party and say thatI cannot consistently s»ppori them because of what youchoose to call the sham and bogus surver of 1896 betore | the elec-ion. Do you forget that your own |party’s eurvey in 1897 was begun before— immediately before— the Provincial Elec- tion here in 1897? Doyou forget that some supporters of the present Lecal Government owe their seats mainly to that survey? Are you aware that the engi» neer in charge and eome others connected with thesurvey made their appearance at Caledonia on the eve of a political meeting held by ycur party candidates during the ‘election campaign? If youdo not know this some ef your readers know it,and your flat, stale aod unprofitable references to shem and bogus surveys only tend to your own confusion’ Were | disposed to re taliate in your Icquacious siyle I could filla colamn which would show you the ‘slippery nature of the ground on whicb you stand. But thatis not my purpose. Again, as a further proof of the unten- able position you take,—let me refer you to your statement in regard to the estimate prepared gby the Conservative Government | in 1896 for the Belfast, Murray Harbor and {K]mira Branch Raiiways. You did not dare to say the estimate was not prepared. But you thought yon scored a point by add- ing in italics “‘aras prepared —but not passed.” Weil, why “not passed?” I will let Sir L. H. Davies tell the reason. Your reacers may remember the memor- jable session—the seesion of obstruction in |1896. In May 1896 (same year) Sir L. H. | Davies addressed a meetirg in Charlotte- towo—reported in the Patriot. Referring }to some item in the estimates under dis | cussion Sir Louis said “as the session was S) near ite end, we had them (the Govern-

| ment) by the throat and were «le to dictate Again he said: ‘Supply bi'l would inever Jeave this chamber.” Agei , **We _ voted the necessary supplies to carry on the Governmert up to the first of July; |BUT WE DECLINED TO VOTE OXE DOLLAR more.” That ie, Sir Louis boasted: that by talking the session out they were alle to | stop the Government’s estimaces, at least | they would not vote ‘one dollar more” than would carry on the Government for two months— from the last day of April till the lakvuie- The Belfast Railway could not

be iveluded in money ev "Od: But it ju- cluded the Sessién&! {n¢émnity which was of more consideration in the eyes of your friends than the requirements of the country. Now, I suppose you will say I made an “onslaught on your party”. But it shows the dangerous nature of the weapons you use. They cut both ways— and cut yourself woree than anybody else.

You may reccliect thatin my last letter I called your attestion (o two different accounts you gaveof the natureof the mission of delegates to Ottawa last March.

BY ORDER COMMITTE. |

I quoted those two paragregphs at length,

hey referredto an important matter in which the public are interested, and your readers would expect some truthful ec- count, Forreasons best known to your- self you were silent. But ae you are fond

of “deadly paragraphe.” I will give you your own to refresh your memory, Here is the

deadly paragraph inthe Patriot in re- ard to@ very important phrase of this 1acuesion ;

Patriot, July 2.—| Patriot, Feb. 9.— 1899. 1599,

In short, the Lib- | erals have taken the only fair, practical and reasonable way of providing a rail- way and bridge, not only by Minute of Council and Survey, but also by pressing of this matter before the Deminion Cabi- net by the Govern- ment delegates, Hoo. A.B. Warbur- ton, (the Premier), Attorney General MacDonald and Hon J.W. Richards, when they were in Ottawa last March.

Now, Sir, you and your readers may recollect that, in your first atteck on me, you gave ignorance of this ordersine council as the gravamen of your charge. I said that there wes no record of it being in the hands of the delegates at Ottawa, as I had asked for papers, and copy of this order did not come down ! Caught, badly caught, as you were, you turned round and had no hesitation to give the lie direct to your own first statement, in order to get out of the corner into which you were driven. I have shown enough of your unreliability for the present. But allow me, in closing, to adviee you not to boast so much abeut the Liberal proposi~ tion to build the bridge, The main thing is to bave it built. And remember that boasting and promises won’t do.

Yours very truly. ALEXANDER Martin.

Valleyfield, Feb. 18th, 1899.

P.S.—Excuse my reference to advas= tage of your securing Mr Laird’s mantle. Oa further consideration I think it would be entirely to big for you.

With regard to Mr.Martin’s motion for copies of orders in Council, i.e. in connection with the Government of P.E. Island and the dele~ gation to Ottawa last session, it is well known that tbat de'e- gates went to Ottawa to try and geta re ference to arbitra- tion of certain claims set outin this mem-~ orial, and we believe that the papers were brought down.
