THE ALLIANCE REPORT.

Tye Patrio:, apparently, fails to see the point. It wae notthe report of the pro- ceedings of the P. E. I-land branch of the Dominion Alliance, butthe report of the President and Exe- cutive Committee, the omission of which by The Patriot and Tbe Guardian bas occasioned comment onthe part of the public and Taw Examiner. The repert contained the followiag paragraphs.

“We the Temperance Alliance of P. E. [., ask you ail to lay aside party politics, and pledge ourselves to fight to the bitter end for Prohibition, and also pledge our- selves that we will not vote for a member (let bim be Liberal or Conservative) to re- present us either inthe Dowinioa House or Local House of Assembly, who will not only pledge himself to vote, Lut todo al! he can to give us Probibition.

“ We should consider Temperance first and Party after. How many of us make anything out of the Government by being strong party men? Very few. But j fee the amount of good to the country we | would make out of prohibition, if we had ‘it in the wayof making drunken men sober, drunken men good citizens, and saving drunken men from 4 drunkard’s grave.

We deem it our duty aleo te cal! upon every friend of prohibition to aid us in se- curing speedy and effective legislation in accordance with the vote of the people and the pledges given hefore the Plebiscite was taken. We must insist upon our right to the grourJd we have gained.’’

If The Patriot bas published the report, several cf its cunstant readers, including,

zi ; Tue Examiner, failed to notice the fact and if the Patriot can prove that it has done so we shall be most happy not only to make the amende, but also io present its esteemed editor, who says that we have

grossly misrepresented it, with a brand

meeting of the

new spring hat.

The repert to which we referred was 8 particularly vigorous and able one, it was “enthusiastically received’ and “‘unanim- eusly adopted” by the Alliance, aud it would naturally have been published with avidity by newspapers which pose as tem- perance advocates,—if their temperance principles were as strong as their party predelictions. “Rum Organ” as Tue Ex amriver has been called, we cheerfully and promptly gave it space and publicity ; and their numerous temperarce friends not unreasonably expected vhat The Patriot and the Guardian would have done like-

wise. The report of the Dominion Ailiance of

thie Province, as unanimously adopted, was in line with the declarations of de- ceived prohibitionists in other parts of Cavada, as for instance the President of the Nova Scotia Methodist Conference, who sayé :

“T claim to be a moderate prohibitienist. Without endorsing the theories or utter~ ances of the most advanced wing of the pronibitioa army, ! atand for the legisia~

Las borne an air of ineincérity from 13 beginning with regard to this matter. — “I am now eatitfied that the authorities have played a game of “bluft,” and that the advocates of prohibition bave ellowed themselves to be duped. To me it would have been a thousand times more eatisfact- ory if Sir Wilfrid, following the example of his predecessor, had manfully said, ‘I do not believe in probibitory !egislation and will give no assurance in the matter.’ As it is, he and his government stand morally committed to the enactment of the best and moet effective prohibitory measure which they are capable of fram- ing. Failing this, they forfeit ths confi- dence of the country. The twenty-three per cent argument is a subterfuge too flimsy to be worthy of agreat leader, aud too contemptible to deserve any consider

than twenty three percent of the best | element ip the Liberal party will bold | their leader to his implied pledges

or demand more reasons for their nonful~ filment.”

Mr. Morton is one of the many who will vote us they feel about this matter of pro~ hibition. Io truth there seems to be on reasen or necessity for continuing their sup- port of the Laurier-Tarte party upon other grounds; for all the Liberal principles have been thrown to the winds. Protec- tion is maintained, taxation is greater than ever, the Governments eXpenditures are increasing by leaps and bounds, the public debt bas been enlarged, prices paid by con- Nothing that the people were led to expect as a result of the

THE EXODUS.

Lorp MinTo must soon lose confidence |

ja his present roinisters. They advised

in the Speech from the Throne, ai the opening ot Parliament, tha “the expodus” from Canada had ceased. This statement has been contradicted on impartial authority. For instance a Bangor, Me., paper reports :

“Thisis the season for the annual im- migration of Cnadians to the United Siat- ex, and dozens of them pase through Baa- gor ov every train from the eaat; within the last faw days the second-ciass travrl has been exceedingly heavy, but on Tues day, all records were broken, when 120 men, women and children, from all paris— of the Lower Provinces, two cars.”

him to say

And again a Moncton despatch re- | ports, --

Large numbers of people pass throug) here almost nightly for the United States. The records of the passenger departement of the I. C.R show that the number of maritime province people going to the United States this spring 186 the largest in many years.”

While we should like to see ‘the ex— odus” cease, itisa fact that the exodus continues ; and the GovernorSGeneral, re presenting the fountain of trath and hon~ our, Ought not ‘o have been misled in this regard by his ministers.

AGUINALDO AND AGONCILLO|

Paris, April 12.—In an_ interview printed in the Patriot yesterday Agoncillo was quoted as saying :

‘*)he Americans have fully realized that they will never aubduethe Filipinos and that the poliey of Major General Otis bas completely, failed. The Philipinos have resolved to defend themselves to the death. They havein their power 1,500 American prisoners. The wet. season is atriving and fever will attack the Ameri- can troops and disorganize them. During this enforced truce we, onthe contrary, ~ ill increase the strength of organization. The situation of the Fulipinos therefore is far from desperate.”

Lonpon, Apri] 12.—Agoncillo, the agent of Aguinaldo, who is stillin Paris euffer- ing f:0m influenza, has written a letter to the Associated Press saying : —

“It is absolutely false that Aguinaldo is willing to accept an autonomist syetem similar to that of Iodia. The Filipinos and their government have only one idea]

—absolute independence as the only source of general welfare.”

Chit chat on what to wear and where to buy it.

The prettiest veilings willbe found on the veiling counter at “My Store.” Ladies— Ie style an object to price an object to you?

you? Is

you want at Sentner, McLeod & Co’s,

From now until the endof Spring you can expect about two umbrella days ip every week, pouring days, and drizzling days, and days when you'll hardly know whether to curry an umbrella or not; be ou the safe side and take it.

Sentner, McLeod & Co. bought about 186 ladies’ and gents sample umbrellas at about one half; and you can get one there very cheap, if you need one. Their $3.00 Gossamer is a wonder for the money.

We’ve had a big sale of lace curtains | tbis Spring, and are sold out of our $1.20 and $1.80 curtains, s0 we've cut down our $2.80 line to $1.80; this curtain cost more at the factory in Nottingham.

Drees goods in plain colors is the cor-

rectthing. Weare proud of our dress goods, and our stock is large, it is well bought, itischeap, aed the crowds that gather around our dress goods counter is ample proof of the values we are giving.

Sentner, McLeod & Co. The hats at “My Store” are perfec

beauties, and so cheap. When you buy your dry goods here,

you'll be pleased and come again; tha:’s the kind of trade we,re after.
