LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

---~_, ~-—- Some Good Points.

Sin,—The time has now arrived when the people of this Island have to choose a new Legislature and Government, and in doing so to decide what shall be their policy in many things, for the next four years. In the first place the question arises, have the men who have had control of the Govern- ment for the last four years, performed their duties satisfactorily or not? Have they conducted the affairs of the Island with carefulness and economy! Have they ad- ministered the finances of this Province in a way that has been to the public bene- fit? ‘Those are the most important ques- tions which will have to be considered at the approaching elections. Is it not pos- sible to bring to the consideration of them an unprejudiced and judicial spirit.

Now, in the first place, we must bearin mind that the late Government have not been free to carry out very much needed reforms in some directions. The Legislative Coun- cil, which is controlled by the Opposition, has seen fit to veto several measures which were introduced for the purpose of curtail- ing unnecessary expenditure.

There are several] items of uncontrollable expenditure which have been’ fixed by law, under previous governments, and which have entirely outgrown the ability of the Island to support. Thezpresent Govern- ment have been powerless to control or lower those items one cent. First there is education, the largest item of expenditure the Island taxpayer has to meet. This has, admittedly outgrown the resources of the Province, and so far as the undersigned is aware, is the most expensive system of education supported by any community in America, or perhaps in the world. I will, in a future communication, give the figures for various communities—such great pro- vinces as Ontario and New South Wales, and also suck wealthy States as New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio. I think that when the Island taxpayer finds out whathe pays for education and what is paid by other communities much more able to bear heavy burdens, he will come to the conclusion that the education bill is entirely too large.

Then there is the item of Legislation ;

and here is a subject on which I can scarce |

see how the Opposition can have the face to go before the people and explain their policy upon. The Island has more law- makers per capita than avy other country in the world—yes, nearly ten times as

many a8 any other country that I have been |

able to find out about. Just think of it! We have a population of about 100,000 and forty-five law makers. Ontario, with a population twenty times as great, has less than twice as many legislators; and New York State, with a population over fifty

times as great, has less than four times as

many. There has been no cry, as far as | have been able to hear, no very violent

clamor in either of those places for more

They think, and think right. Now, what, in

law makers. ly, that they have plenty.

the name of all that is reasonable, does P. |

E. Island want more than fifteen legislators for? If everthere was an exaggerated farce in the wide world it is truly and surely that antiquated body known as the Prince Edward Island Legislative Council. Surely the taxpayers of this country are not going to maintain such a ridiculous imitation of what in every other province that has one, and even in England itself, is looked upon as a worse than body.

Yet, you will hear the Grit orator shout- ing, that to keep the country safe, and the sacred rights of property secure, we must maintain the Legislative Council at all hazards.

Now, I want;to ask those who assail the financial policy of the Local Government, what item of expenditure do they seem to think is unnecessary, and where do they find that a dollar has been mis-spent? I will compare the financial history of this province, during the last ten years, with the previous ten, and also with other pro- vinces of the Dominion, when | trouble you again.

To Apply for Pardon.

EVIDENCE IN MRS, MAYBRICK’S FAVOR.

The London Citizen is authority

NEW

for the

‘statement that the new evidence which has‘

been collected in England and America in the case of Mrs. Maybrick is of the most convincing character, and needs but the scrutiny of the Home Secretary to con- vince that ofticial of the immediate neces- sity of recommending that the (Jueen grant her a full and unconditional pardon. The nature of the new evidence is not disclosed, or even hinted at, but it is surmiséd that

it includes a great deal of matters already

gone over by ihe Court and the Home

Secretary, in which case it is fair to assume |

that it will receive scant consideration at its second presentation. Amoag rumors concerning the additional evidence is one to the effect that the most important of its features isa number of documents which fell into the hands of Michael May- brick and were suppressed by him at the trial, showing, in James Maybrick’s own han¢ writing, that his death was due solely to poison self administered,

Sunk rv Suez Bay.—By cable to the New York Herald: London, Jan. 4, 1890.—ILhe British steamer Cloncurry, from Liverpool (Dec. 17) for Rangoon, has been sunk in Suez Bay ina collision with the British steamer Maple Branch, from Bombay (Dec. 13) via Kurrachee for Antwerp.

The Cloncurry was commanded by Captain ' Deason, of London, father of Mrs. E. H> Nor- , ton of this city. Mrs. Norton has no report jof the fate of the crew and passengers,

A MrracuLous Escare.—Wm. Lambert jhad ascended a ladder laid against a new building at Halifax, a few days ago, with a hod of brick, and was

up. about thirty feet when the ladder broke and both Lambert and the bricks fell to the ground. Bystanders expected that he would be instantly killed, but strange to say the hod struck the outside stairs of the house and rebounded, throwing him to the ground on bis side, and although aheavy man, weigh- ing 200, he was not injured.

News Notes.

Great inundations are reported through- out Northern Italy, especially at Treviso.

1t is understood that the Russian Gov- ernment is about to acquire absolute com- mand of the Bokharan army.

A waterspout is reported at Nanking. Hundreds of people have been drowned, numerous boats were destroyed and great damage was done.

It is statea positively that four com-

| panies having plants in New YorkState and ifurnishing the greater part of the paper ead in newspapers published in New York |City have sigued agreements to sell to an ‘English investment company.

The year’s emigration is 65,000 from ‘Lreland, and 254,000 {from the whole ol Great Britain. There is a large falling off ‘in the movement to the United States, Canada and Australia, and an incregse in the emigration to the to other place. | Russia has sent a circular note to all the powers that signed the treaty of Berlin in regard to the violation of article 24 of the treaty by the present condition of things if Bulgaria, and particularly by the pre- tended sovereignity of Prince ferdinand. While our Parliament is meeting early this year the Imperial Houses are being summoned a little Jater than usual. Feb- ruary 11 is the date chosen, and it is said the Queen will be herself present. This will lend additional a'traction te the open- ing, for though the Queen being advanced in years doesjnot particularly care for the function, the people do. JAs the correspon- dent of a Liberal paper puts it: ‘ Mr. Disraeli had to use all his powers of per- suasion to induce her to come out vf her retirement and make a show for the people. Recent events, however, have cured the politicians of the netion that the people are tuo far advanced to enjoy ceremonial. The demand for pageantry is growing with the delight in it. Nothing was more striking in the debates on the Royal Grants than the undercurrent of feelings, even among very advanced Radicals, that the grants would be justified if the splendor of the Throne were maintained full in the eyes of the public. This was an old notion of Mr. Disraeli’s, and the hint has not been lost on Lord Salisbury.” '
