Ir is currently reported—and those who are experienced in such matters see signs —that Premier Farqubareon intends to appea! te tne country forthwith. Certaiu- ly the Government is in a tight place, Practically it bas but two chances, It must buy cff some of the opposition mem vers elected, or it must procure a diseolu- tion of the Legislature. No one (but one who is both knave and fool) will sell him relf to the dying administration ; and therefore Mr. Farquharson bas to take the other horn of the dilemma and aek Lieu- tenant Governor McIntyre fora dissclu

OPENING
—OF THE—
Few Prince of Wales College,
a dissolution of the Legislature in the | midst of the legislative term. We shall not labor this The point is one which Lieutenaut Governor McIntyre will, webave no doubt, consider carefully, with epecial refer- ence to the constitutional authorities. The following case, cited ,by,Todd is on all fours with the case of the Farqubarson adminietration and in accord with the general principles which the authorities lay down, viz : (1} That “‘Councillors who have lost the confidence’of the legislature will tender their resignation to the Gov-
formal opeaing of the new Prince | eroor or discontiaue,the practical exercise ot W lis College »nd Nermal Schoo! will! of their functions, in analogy with the toke place im the Astembly Hall, on | usages prevailing ia the United King-
dom,” and (2) th tne ¢ f a gov- Friday Ryening, March 9th, 1900 | comssent having loct ite couddence of «
; | msjority of thelegislature,the proper course 200¢ : | for the Lieutenant Governor to pursue is
e « ces by our leading pablic men and | al ce uses by the Prince of Wales Students | to call upon the Leader of the Opposition a who will, when accepting office, become

By ra open at 7 p. m. Chair tobe; “In 1860, the Lieutenant Governor of nk-» at 8 oecloek Nova &cotia (Lord Mulgrave ) was placed v & wkly ¢f. in @ position somewhat analogous te that
1600
of Sir Edmusdd Head with the Browa~ Dorien administration, After a dissoin- vena oO: Parliamen, his Minister, who vad bad, preyiourly, a geod working majority, foued themselves much we k- eved, (heir @ poneot® being almost atrong enough to turn the scale ayainst them, Ministers asserted, however, that eeveral membere ef the Opposition were diequali- ties, and tried to induce the House 1o un~ seatthem, without a resort to the legul method of trying controverted electious. This attempt was negatived ; and in+tead the heuse resolved that they had ag» cosfidenceio the Ministry. Whereup sn, Ministers strongly urged npom the Gor
ernur the necessity for another dissolutien of parliament, on public grounds, as well «8 is justice to them-elves. But His Excellescy careful'y reviewed their argumeri#, desented from their conclu sions, and dec'imed w accede their request. He saw no “censtitutional ¢@.use” for » dissulution, aud deemed it to be seitber expedient norconvenient that it shouid take place,so soon after a general elec- tion. Accerdingly, the ministry resigned-”
lodd says explic'tly,— “It is a constutienal maxim, tha whenever a change of miu.stry takes
place, pursuast to an act et the Crown, the ineoming wmeiniviry§ are responsible to parliament for the
peliey whieh occasioned, and for the acts of the Severeign which brought aoaut the resignation er dismissal @! their prede- ces-ors.” ;
If Lieutecaat Governor McIatyre should grant Premier Forqubarson’s demaad fer a dissolution aad the result shouid be (as it inevitably will be) the defeat of the min
istera, “the incoming ministers” will certainly decline io become responsible for hisact and he will bain an awkward predicament. His true course is to refuse a dissolution aad call uponthe Leader of the Opposition as soon asi sha!! appear thatthe Government has nota workiog majority in the House. Then, the new Premier may, af-er t> formation of his Cabisent aod the formulaiion ef his policy, ask leave to go to the country.

‘ft is impossibleto depict the enthu tiasm of the beleagured garrison. Cheer upoo cheer ran from post to post and staff officers, civilians avd soldiers flocked to greet them. At the ford of Klip river, women, with children iu theirarms, tear- fully pressed forward :o grasp the hand of the gallant band. Sisters and brothers, friends aud relatives met again. It was the most meving scena I have ever wit neveed. The contrast between the robus troopers of adozen batile ard tke pale, emaciated defendera of Lidysmith was great.

and the garrison tor their magnificent sap- port through tra’s which weslove can realize. We could possivly bave huog on for six weeks longer, but ibe privations would bave ber _reat and sickness and the paucity of » > ammunition would have limited the number of assaults we would have been able to resist.
We originally started the siege with 12,000 troops, 2,000 civilian and 4,000 patives. Between casualties and sickness 8,00) soldiers paseed through the hospital It is impossible to over-emphasize the privations of the city. Since the middle of January, a man once down was prac tically lost. The reduced rations of the soldiere just sufficed for the substance.
Daily, thirty old horses and inules were slaughtered and con- verted into soup and sausages.
From Jecuary 15th to now, there have been over 2000 deaths from disease alone. The last fortnight saw the majority of of the field batteries unhoreed and the guns permanently in our defenses. The cavalry and the drivers were converted to infantry and sent totke trenches. A line of defences had been constructed with the view ef possible final contingency, if the outer works should be carried.
NOTES AND COMMENTS.
— Traine to Kimberley are now runn ng regularly. '
—Sir James Winter has taken the con- stitutions] course of resigniog. He might (jast as well as Premier Fargubsrson) ask the Governor to allow him to ap- peal to the country.

without tender at Tignish and several etcateras ail around,and a very clumsy at- tempt at another deal, the Liberals ef the First Di-trict of Prince hope for success wheu the election comes around. They are therefore coming out of their shells. Che “heart of Gritiom” of Tignish bus been reclining on tne besom of the poor de feated p:o-Boer Sachem at Alberton, They are a happy family sgain externally, and a most unscrupulous campaign may be anticipated, But the heart of the dietricr is right, and all this cooing and plaoniug will go for nothing.
