THE SEAT IN THE CABINET.

Who is to Biame for Depriving P. ‘B. Island of her Minister ?

ir Mr. Perry speaks the truth, the Pre-

mier is not so much to be blamed for depriving Prince Edward Island of repre- sentation in the Cabinet as her own repre- sentatives in Parliament. It appears, from what Mr. Perry said, that not one of them would take the seat. Their private interests, their ambitions, their inclinations did not lie in the direction of a seat in the Cabinet of Canada; and so Prince Edward Island lf Mr. Perry's statement be true, it is no won- der that neither he nor Mr. Yeo were nom- inated at the Summerside meeting. If it

be true, not one of our mis-representatives

was robbed of an important privilege ! !

supporting the Government should be even asked to accept nomination as a candidate in the next election. Mr. Perry’s state- ment does not, however, agree with state- ments of Mr. L. H. Davies and other lead- ers of the Grit Party in this Island. There is a mystery hanging over the robbery of Pp. E. Island’s portfolio second only to the mystery which enshrouds the McCarthy murder. Who will explain it?

The Attorney General of England on Reciprocity. Ar a public meeting held in Preston, England, on the 2nd _ inst., the Attorney General of England said :-—

“He hoped that before long better times would return, that the glut of the old markets would be removed, and new markets opened. He knew not whether the evil had any poli- tical source, but he could not helpsay*ng, even at the risk of being pronounced for h’s declara- tion a stupid old Tory, that much mischief had been occasioned py the firm determiha- tion which had in recent years been evinced to BIND THIS COUNTRY TO A POLICY OF FREE TRADE, WITHOUT TAKING CARE THAT THE PRINCIPLE OF FREE TRADE SHOULD BE EMBRACED ALSO BY OTHER COUNTRIES WITH WHICH WE HAD TRADE TRANSACTIONS.”

It seems that Old England wants Reci- wrocity. How, then. can young Canada live without it !

Rev. M. R. Parapts and lady, of Grand Falls, N. B., arrived in this city on Saturday last.

Tue witness William Cumings,is not the per- son of the same name who is employed as en- gineer in one of the Steam Navigation Coy’s steamers.

Tae brigt. Marshal S., Cameron, master,

owned by Mr. P. Foley, arrived at Boston from Barbadoes on the 24th inst., with a cargo of molasses.

Av McKenzie’s lecture, on Wednesday even- ing, an original Poem, written by a member of the Temperance Reform Club, will be recited by Mr. G. W. Millner.

Ler it be remembered that McKenzie gave his ‘hearty support” to Workman, who wants a 30 cent. tariff and prohibitory duties levied on United States goods.

Tue steamer Venezia arrived from Montreal this morning, with a o of 950 bbls, flour, 10 rolls leather, 60 es paper, 20 crates crockery, 11 cases hardware, and sundry other goods.

Tue Patriot's statement that Liberal-Con- servatives want Protection as applied and car- ried out in the United States, is untrue. So is the statement that the Grits are all Free Traders.

Tue Island Organ of the ‘‘Organized Hy- pocrisy” boasts ut the ‘‘success” of the “Grit meeting” in Summerside. May we ask why an attempt was not make to nominate the (rrit candidates ?

THe quarterly meeting of the Caledonia Club will be held in St. Lawrence Hotel on to-morrow (Tuesday) evening, at half-past seven o'clock. As ats is important business to be transacted at this meeting, a full attend ance of members is respectfully requested.

We have been informed, on good authority, that the witness Cummings did not escape from the custody of er Sheriff Sweeney. The person from whom we derive this informa- tion saw the witness on board of the steamer on her departure from Suwvnerside on Satur-

day morning.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Patriot writes: ‘It is said that the School Board have sent Mr. T. Alley on a mission to the States to purchase heating apparatus for the new school. Before doing so J think it was their duty to ascertain what they could do in that way at home, as | believe they can save money and get all they want here. J am a thorough Free Trader, but want to see our own men patronized when money can be saved by doing so. But the mo- ment our manufacturers ask more for their

oods and cry out protect us, then I say ‘No, Fe wijl deal with you and give you the pre- ference so long as you sell as low as others.’”

Ay altercation oceurred on Queen street, on Tuesday last, between two young females. Apparently it did not end satisfactorily, and they appeared before the Stipen this morning for a ime ee ——- - ee tion originated as fo''aws: No.1] m 0. 2— the delentiiat—4t the Orange Hall, where No. 2 called No. 1 **Hairy Boo.” No. 1 did not like this, and she retorted, ‘‘Your mamma's demise was caused by the use of strong beverages.” This was rather much for No. 2 to bear. She became enraged, and with one blow, upset No. 1 on a doorstep. The blow was returned amid a shower of nasty names, after which No. 1. made a B line for the Police Station. The case was dismissed.

THE majority of our citizens were yesterday asleep while the Patriot's staff was Pegs. eourts, cricket matches, ‘‘set-tos,” fires, a

EN ater aetna nook

( witnessing larcenies. Doubtless the morality of our flourishing little city is fast decreasing ; Vourts of law sitting on the Sabbath; most re- spectable citisens playing cricket on Victoria Park; young men iighting, bellowing, and caus- ing disorder on or public thoroughfares, and dusty denizens of the West robbed while tit- ting on their Sunday vests. A frightful state of affairs, and the citizens paying taxes for sixteen police! This morning's issue of the Patriot contains an account of a cricket match, a larceny anda ‘‘set-to,” all of which took place yesterday, Sunday. It leaves no doubt that the Stipendiary Magistrate's Court was sitting, as it publishes a report of yesterday’s proceedings in this morning’s issue. It also contains @ gushing description of a fire which took place this morning (peor Mr. Power must have lost two houses), and winds up with the astounding statement that the mare “Fairy” oply took one heat at Upon Park races on Friday, while the ‘Princess’ took three and won the race. Notwithstanding, the Editor and three of the Patriot's reporters were present at the race.

Mr. A. B. McKenzie acknowledges the fol lowing sums collected by young ladies of Zion Church Congregation for the Home and For- eign Mission of the Presbyterian Church iu Canada, viz :

Misses Annie Campbell and Manie Me- Leod,

Misses Maggie Lawson and Eliza Web ster,

Tue plankways throughout the City are at present very ‘‘holey”— not sacred—and numerous accidents are daily occurring. Yesterday morning, as the children of the Convent de Notre Dame were proceeding from early Mass, a little girl inadvertently thrust her foot into a hole in the platform, a short distance from the corner of Great George and Sydney Streets. Her boot was wize three-and-a-half; the hole was size three of the same measurement; and she was thus fettered by the foot to the plat- form. Numerous attempts were made to release her ; but for twenty minutes she re- mained a prisoner to civic neglect, after which time the boot was loosed, and the foot, with much difficulty, worked out of it. If new planks are not obtainable, we suggest that such dangerous places be filled with clay.

Victorias Park is becoming a place of popu- lar resort. Thousands of citizens enjoyed the fresh air there yesterday. Among the various parties who celebrated the Queen’s Birthday on the grounds, not the least interesting were the two classes in the Public Schools, under the teachership of the Misses Lawsen. A group of children enjoying themselves is one of the most pleasing sights. The Park affords facilities for such enjoyment, which, we are sure, will be appreciated by parents. There seems to be a general agreement in the opinion that too many trees have been cut away. Per- haps, however, it is yet rather too soen to criticise the work of the Park Committee. We suggest that a Policemen be detailed to keep rude, gawking young men—old enough to have more respect tor themselves—from sitting upon the fences and calling out ‘‘ Isn’t she pretty,” etc., as young women pass by.
