The New Minister of the Interior.

The promotion of the Ilou. Thomas White is hailed with pleasure by all parts of the country. Mr. White, it is admitt ed on all hands, has fairly earned the honor of a seat in the Privy Council of Canada, He has been actively interest ed in the public aflairs for many years ; andthere is no man in the Dominion, more familiar with the questions of the day and better prepared to grapple with the problems ofthe future. His advance- ment has been more tardy than many of his friends aod admirers thought advis able in the interests of the country. But the confidence reposed in him is made evident by the fact that he has at once been placed in charge of a portfolio which, at this juncture, is one of the most important in the gift of the Premier. The Department of the Interior has centrol of the adminis- tration of a quarter of North American Continent. The Great North- west is now, as a result of the re bellion, in a state of confusion. It will be the duty of the new Minister of the lnterior, to reorganize -the administra- tion of that part of the couvtry and to reduce the country to order. ‘The task is herculean ; but, we have no doubt, Mr. White will begia it with courage and prudence and carry it out with ability and tact. A gentleman who has con- ducted one of the best managed and most successful newspapers in Canada, will not, we feel sure, be found wanting in the qualities required for the adminis- tration of a Department of the Govern- ment. It is now admitted by everyone acquainted with public affairs, that the Hon. McKenzie ‘Bowell, Minister of Customs, lately of the Belleville Intelli- gencer, is one of the ablest and most careful administrators in the Cabinet of Sir John McDonald. We are much mistaken if his brother journalist, the Hon. Thomas White, Minister of the Interior, lately of the Montreal Gazette, does not prove at least equally able and successful in thé management of the im- portant Department to which he has been called We congratulate the country : we congratulate Mr. White.

Lord Randolph.

The New York JHerald makes the following estimate of Lord Randolph Charehill: —

First—Churchill is a young man,and that isin hisfavor. The pulse of the tories generally beats at the minimum at which life is sustained, and the contrast between this overcelebrated Secretary of State for India and many of his Cabinet confreres is 8° great that it has even become an element of alarm.

Second—He has apparently very little reverence for traditional methods, which naturally makes some people shake their conservative heads. He goes round the room sweeping away the sacred cobwebs of ancient usage and humming ‘‘Giod Save the (Jueen” the while, until the frantic cries of the ancient and honorable and partially petrified members of his party make the welkin ring.

Thivd—He, for party purposes, if not from conviction, believes in justice for Ire- land. He is willing to make a coalition with the Parnellites, and to acknowledge that there is such a place as Ireland on the map of the world. It may be strange, but it is true, and there Churchill has his feet on very solid ground.

Fourth—He is popular. The people know that he is hot-tempered, sometimes obstinate, or even perverse. Siill, he is a Jive man, and he believes in live measures. Englishmen like earnestness, daring, shrewdness, go-ahead-a-tiveness, and they evidently propose to give his lordship an opportunity to show his mettle.

— Cholera is marching on. From Spain it has spread to France, and is now terrorizing Marseilles. Every pre- caution possible should now be taken to prevent its obtaining a foothold on this continent.

EE

— The Halifax Chronicle says: “ Sir Jobu Macdonald is intensely popular in P. FE. Island just now.” This is a fact. No public man is more popular here than Sir John. The Chronicle is “right for once.”

Among those who listened to Canon Farrar’s eulogy of Gen. Grant in Westmin- ster Abbey on Tnesday, were Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone, the Earl of Iddiesleigh, Earl Cranbrook, Prime Minister Salisbury, the Dake of Cambridge, the Marquis of Lorne, General Lord Wolseley, Senor Martinez, the Chilian Ambassador to England, and Chief Justice Waite. Queen Victoria was represented at the service by her equerry. The Prince of Wales. the Duke of Connaught, and the Duke of Edinburgh, were also represented by equorries. The British army was represented by sixteen staff officers. Flags upon the royal resi- dences at Windsor and Osborne, and upon the royal yachts Osborne and Victoria and Albert were lowered and remained down during the memorial service in Westminster Abbey.

=~ «+ _———

The discontented section of the Tories, led by the Whig section of the late Cabinet, are making overtures fora coalition. Sir Wm. Harcourt, Mr. Foster and the Duke of Argyle are exchanging views with the Duke of Richmond, Sir Richard A. Cross and other anti-Churchill members. By coalition it is intended to obtain in the new parliament a majority sufticient to control the Radicals and Parnellites,

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

“Vou will agree with mo, Sir, thata dis- cerning public will jacge Mr. Davies not by the number of charges that are hurled against him, but2by-the men from whom the attacks come and the m t yes which prompt the.” — Extract from | letter signed *““Candor,” in Patriot

Sir,—The above affords a good clue to the methods by which Mr. L. H. Davies

waters at the next election. Never mind how grave or how numerous the charges a ainst him. His offenc®s may be ‘‘rank.”’ Taney may ‘‘smell to Heaven.” What of that? By imputing improper motives to his assailants. he hopes to retain his position. This trick has been often played by corrupt and designing men; but [ am greatly mistaken if L. H. Davies can prac tice it successfully on the present occasion.

The charges against Mr. Davies are not going to be disposed of in this fashion. No babyish appeals for sympathy, nor any amount of abuse heaped on the heads of those who speak the truth, can shield L. H. Davies from the condemnation he has so vichly earned.

Protesting that we had a claim for a por- tion of the Fishery Award, distinct from Canada, Mr. Louis H. Davies, while Pre- mier and Attorney General of this Island, acted as a counsel for the Dominion, for which services, covering only a month or two of easy work, he demanded and re- ceived the sum of $15,000!! He received over $100 for every hour he devoted to the Halifax Commission, but he drew his full salary as Attorney General at the same time, although others were paid by the Government for doing his work !! !

Surely this is enough to consign a public man to political death !

But this is not all. By letters to the press previous to the last election, by an explicit declaration in his election card, and by speeches all over this County, he censured our late representatives for not submitting our distinct claim to a vote in the Commons, and solemnly promised that if elected he would bring our claim before the Commons, and test it by a vote. This promise has been systematically violated. No vote on our claim has been yet taken in the House. Although our unfaithful representative could make 48 speeches on the Franchise Bill, he said not one word on the Fishery Award !

The charges against him in this matter are clear and explicit. He betrayed the Island before the Halifax Commission, although paid to protect our interests, and he has openly violated the solemn promises by which he gained his election.

I am, yours, IMPARTIALITY.

+ Ss Crapaud Notes.

The farmers are having beautiful weather to secure their hay crops, and a good many in this section have already got all under cover. The harvest will soon be in and the prospects of a bountiful harvest at the present time is good. .

The fire which occurred here last winter, has not discouraged vur citizens, as we can hear the sound of the hammer from early morn until the setting of the sun. O. B, Wadman and Miss Howatt are erecting two fine dwellings here this summer, which, we are sure, when completed, will be a credit to the eontractors, Mr. John Creamer and Mr. Best.

Mr. Shaw who was so unfortunate as_ to be burnt out last winter, has bis new store ready for the fall trade. Mr. Peter Newson is also erecting a fine harness shop on the vld site, which, when completed, will be a great addition to the place.

The Orange Hall and Methddist Church are also undergoing repairs under the super- vision of Messrs. Wadman, French and McKinnon.

The merchants, mechanics,and all parties engaged in business iu this place do not complain of hard times, Ou the contrary they say that business is good. The only trouble is not enough of goods.

Our old friend, Mr. John Saunders,of the firm of Saunders & Campbell,Charlottetown, has paid us another visit. The farmers and traders here are always glad to see Mr. Saunders, as he pays good prices and leaves plenty of greenbacks. This trip he has pur- chased two hundred sheep and lambs and thirty head of cattle,amounting to the snug little sum of one thousand dollars. Why not welcome ?

Crapaud, Aug. 5, 1885. Com. Sir Leonard Tilley. Says the Quebec Chronicle: From all

accounts that reach us, the conclusion is irresistible that Sir Leonard Tilley is a very sick man. A recent telegram from St. Andvew’s, New Brunswick, says that Sir Leonard’s physicians have issued positive orders that he shajl neither see callers nor engage in correspondence for some time to come, perfect eeclusion and cessation from business of any kind being imperative. He is even forbidden to reesive telegrams. The despatch further states that repose from all exciting or disturbing infinences is the best Medicine he can have; and his physicians’ orders are being carried out to the very letter. The mistake the Finance Minister made was in rushing home so soon after accomplishing his loan in London. He ought to have taken a few weeks’ rest, and remained under the eye of Sir Andrew Clark, who performed the operation on him, foratime. He felt bet- ‘er just before the steamer sailed for Que- bec, but the motion of the vessel, and the jolting of the cars during the long ride which he subsequently took, on landing at Rimouski, put him back a great deal. At Ottawa he frightened his intimate friends by his appearance, and it is really a ques-

tion whether he did right in leaving the capital for St. Andrew’s, as soon as he did. Sir Leonard, we know, is an extremely active man, and remaining in quietness is very irksome to him; still he ought to have been governed by the advice of friends,and moved only when he was able. We hope that with rest—complete rest—he will get

_ batter and be able to resume his old place

at the Council Board. ne 0 ep Tue Halifax CottongFactory held its annual meeting a few days ego, By statements from an authoritive source it is learned that_there has been a loss of $3,000 on the year’s opera- tions. There is due $80,000 to the Bavk of Nova Scotia, and made up aad raw stock

Cholera at Marseilles.

REAPPEARANCE OF THE PLAGUE — FOREIGN CONSULS AND CLEARANCE OF VESSELS.

Marseriies, August 3, 1885.— Hight deaths feom cholera occured this morning. Over forty cases have been taken to the hospitais. The Phare is quite ready to receive patients. Still there is some hope that prompt action may check the diss2se. Nevertheless, it would be idle to deny that the chances are that Marseilles will see the beginning of another epidemic. The heat is intense. Not a breath of air stirs the sails of the vessels in the harbor. Not a leaf rustles in the shaly avenues of the Cours Beizunce. Many a fervent prayer is uttered for a change in the weather Several more cases of sudden or foudroyant cholera have occurred. People, apparently well and strong, have been struck down in a few hours,

Nothing has yet been done to disinfoct the filthy houses tenanted by filthier lodgers, which, even in the heart of the city, form a constant menace to public health. Foreign Consuls have decided to give only unclean bills of health for the present to vessels leaving this port.

A distinction is drawn between the original Pali Mall Gazette issues and these reprints. The latterthe department regards as published for immoral purpoees, and to pan- der to prurient tastes.
