THE POLICY OF DECEIT.
bave gained as a result of the deceit they | practised upon Lord Roberts. Having | discovered that he cannot depend upon their words or oaths, that they are :eady to return to tne fight at the first oppor-
in the field, Lord Roberts has, we are told, abandoned his policy of leniency. | The men who have broken their pledges ! and violated ihe rules of civilized war- |
provisions except thore of which they re in immediate need. Lord Roberts is de- termined that there shall not be another Boer eruption in the Orange Free State.
it seems to us that the people of Can- ada will do well if, when dealing with their deceivere, they follow the example of Lord Roberts. The politicians who a few yeats ago obtaired their support upon the strength of pledges to reduce the public expenditures, to reduce the public debt, to reduce the taxes, to abolish protection, to act according to a plebiscite vote on pro« bibition, etc., snd the men who promised
even attempted to redeem their pledges and promiser, should alike be punished by the only means in the sovereiga peo- ple’s power,—the vote at the polls.
As in the case of the Free Staters they should not have another opportunity to practice their deceitful and dishonest arts ;and they ought to be taught that in politice, as in war, honesty is the best policy.

PREMIER AND PATRIOT.
Sir,~ A few days ago, under this head. ing, Lartk+ed tome questions alout boats and o.her appliances for tne protection of passengers and crews of theferry steam- ers, Southport and Hillsborough, such as boats, life buoys, ‘ife jackets, fire hose, buckets. etc, also about the engineer of | steamer Southport, The Premier nas answered. But the Patriot rises to explaia,— explain what:— That there is a boat on the deck of the Southport. I did not ask this question, because we all know there ig af old ice beat put there by Mr. Bentley many yeers ago when he was t. P. W. But is it any good now? Mr. Patriot will pl-ase explain; also, whaj sbout the beats on the Hills. borough ? I had no jutention of bring- ing Mr. Patriot into thie, bnt since he let him answer the
not
questions straight.
[did not ask about the captains, but be rises to explain that there are two, per | haps wore than enongb. But what cer tificate have they? What about the en- | gineers? I'be Patriot says Mr. McFar!ave } has Charge of the twosteamers. Wi'] he} tell us how Mr. McFar‘ane cana work in the
two engine rooms when the steemers are 9
Mr. Patriot says the man that runs the Soutbport rao the Hillsborough for years He knows well ibis is not true.
When tnese quections are an-wered I will give him lots more that msy not beas easy.
Just now, let me add: what abovt the boats and fire appliances on the Elfin ?
baving twenty years’ experieuce, atrue and trus:worthy man, sent back tothe fire ho e of the Rilisborough aod a farmer of a few
It is to be boped that the Board of Trade or the people at large will take bold of this,and see that the necessary outfit will be put on board these steamers at once befure some awfu! accident happens. and that 00 picnic nor excursion party will employ the steamers till they are well fitted.
I agaio tell Mr. Patriot and Mr. Premier that there is not another passenger str am- er in the world allowed to run in the tame CGadition, equipped, or non-«quipped as [ belteve that if the case was b ought to the notice of the Minister of Marine he would not ellov: it to continue a single day.
I will wait for Mr. Patriot or Mr. Premier to explain, and then look for more information for
ANOTHER PAsSENGER.
By the way I have noaxe to grind; int | incase of accident it may need oil on the troubled waters as hinted by Mr. Patriot.

A most enthusiastic, patri- otic concert was held, which eerved tc! show we were “all British yet.”
At cur las: meeting, after some musio and @ short di-cussioo,an address was pre- sented to our retiring president, who was chi-fly inetrumental in forming this eocicty. He replied in esaitable terme. The uumber of wembers enrolled at pres seut is forty-five,aud wetrust when the work is resumed iu the autumn that even greater interest may be shown.
Tne Treasurer’s report showed the finavces to be in a healtay condition, there being a considerable balsnce in favor of the Society.
Atver the reports were adopted ad. nies were given by Messrs. R. E. Bagnall, E. W. Harris, James Dickieson and William Laird. Excellent recitations by Mics Martha 3rown, of Mayfield, and Jirs.
