“ Dissensions in the Cabinet

Tuts is now the cry. ‘‘Divide and con- quer” is the maxim which is being followed But ment and its supporters in parliament be divided to afford the grits the chance which +t down as

by the Grits. will the new Govern-

They will be se Worse than fools—they imposed upon

they desire / fools if they do. will be false to the trust them by the people who elected them to oppose a policy which must “lead to an- nexation,” and to carry out a policy which will tend to the prosperity of Canada and the permanence of those free British insti- tutions which the people of Canada love. Some of the evidence upon which *‘dis sension” is promotedis funny. Forinstance, the Guardian states, telegraphically, that Sur told General that he ‘‘could not conciliate con- that Su

Hicting elements.” Is it likely John Thompson would give such a reaso! for his refusal of the offer of the premier- ship? Of is it likely that either the Gov- erner-General or Sir John Thompson took the Guardian's precious telegraph corres- pondent into confidence. Not likely. Again, the Patriot declares, edit rially, that Sir Hector is crowded out of the Cab that Hector re

mains in the Cabinet and in his Depart-

inet. Sut the fact is Sir

7 ment of Minister of Public Works.

Altowether, the eviuence of dissensions in the Cabinet does noi hold together with the facts.

That the administration of Mr. Abbott may be temporary is probably true, for Mr. Abbott is an elderly man—though admit- tedly one of the ablest time must be gained in which to consult

to

in Canada; and

and come an understanding with Sir

Charles Tupper ; the McGreevy matter is Hector

Langevin exonerated from which have been brought against him, or condemned and forced out of public life. But that there are such serious dissensions in the Cabinet as to affurd the opposition the ghost of a chance to obtain the offices which they covet, is not probable—is not

true,

The * Patriot” Again.

THe Patriot has not a word of apology fur its ill-timed attack upon Sir Johu Mac- donald, to which THe reference on Saturday.

EXAMINER made It has evidently been shamed into keeping silent. There is no excuse whatever for the course our con- temporary has pursued.

The Patriet, in its editorial of Friday, expresses disapproval of Sir John’s conduct in standing by the ‘‘old flag” during the last general election campaign, and letting the people of Canada know that the adop- tion of the policy of unrestricted reciprocity mivocated by the Upposition meant discri- mination against the Mother Couatry, and woull certainly end in annexation to the United States. Our contemporary goes further, and says that Sir John, in promul- gating this idea, sought to fasten the stigma of disloyalty upon the Liberal party——upon thousands of Liberal voters throughout the Dominion! Of course, the Patriot repu- But is there any necessity for the repudiation /

diates the charge of disloyalty.

Did Sir John say, or even hint, that ** in their heart of hearts” the Liberals were loyal to Canada and to British connection? We think not. But he did expose the traitorous conduct of certain leading men in the party which the Patriot supports, It is certainly noteworthy, in this connection, that whatever annexation- ists there are in the Dominion—and they are, happily, very few—are to be found in the ranks of the Liberal party !

Let us take a look at the facts. During the last general election the Liberal-Con- servative party asserted that the trade pol- icy of their opponents was unfair and un- wise, aye, even disloyal; that discrimination against Great Britain would alieniate the people on the other side of the Atlantic, and would ultimately result in the sever- ance_of the ties which bind Canada to Eng- land, and end in our annexation to the neighboring republic. Many leading Lib- erals took a similar view of the case, and declined to support the policy of the Op- position. But Mr. Laurier, the Leader of the Liberal party, the man who expressed his willingness to take up a musket and fight with the Northwest rebels, Mr. L. H. Davies, and other lesser lights took up the policy of varestricted reciprocity and made it their battle ery. They told the people that the Conservative view of unrestricted reciprocity was incorrect, that it made no difference to the British Government or to the British people what commercial rela- tions existed between Canada and the Unit- ed States, and that they could, without any risk whatever to the continuance of their connection with the Mother Country, adopt such a trade policy as was best calculated to advance their interests. They painted in glowing colors the many and great advan- tages that the people of Canada would ob. tain upon the adoption of unrestricted re- ciprocity, and ridiculed the efforts that were being made to open up a trade with the Old Country. They gave the people to

understand that the only Way to save Can- ada from disaster was to adopt their policy. By such false doctrine

hot

as this.

they induced thousands of loyal electors to support their party. The Opposition leaders, in so instructing the people, must have known that they were misrepresenting the facts of the They must have known in their hearts that it was contrary to human nature not to resent such ingrati- tude and such a want of kindly feeling as would be demonstrated by the people of the Dominion if they granted trade privi-

leges to the United States which they denied to their fellow-subjects on the other side of the Atlantic. 3ut whether

they were aware of this or not, mikes no great difference now, as, fortunately for the Dominion, a good majority of its people de- clined to believe their stories or accept their policy, and sustained the Government of Sir John.

But what view do they take of policy

at least equal in importance to

‘* As for complete commercial reciprocity, the policy of the Opposition, that means, 4s every body knows, the immediate imposition of differential duties on our goods. eee Bute unrestricted commercial union means more than this; If WOULD STRAIN THE BRITISH ‘ONNEXION ALMOST TO THE SNAPPING POINT ; and Mr. Blake, Mr. Farrar, and practically Vir. Goldwin Smith himself, admit that it is ynly a half-way stage to political union.”

This extract from the Times shows clearly sritain inauguration

We might also easily show by quoting from American papers that unrestricted reciprocity meant nor less than annexation. sus there is no necessity. This is an issue that has been passed upon by the Canadian people at the polls, and a good majority of

that Canada’s connection with Great would not last long af-zer the of the policy of discrimination,

— The S.S. Northumberland is to ply daily between Summerside and Point du Chene. The enterprise of the Charlotte- town Steam Navigation Company in obtain- ing this fine vessel is worthy of the highest praise. We trust the public wiil show its sppreciation in the practical way. But if the speed of the vessel is to be of practical sdyantage, there should be changes in the time tables of both the Intercolonial and P. E. Island Railways. It is hoped that the JXailway authorities will give their favorable consideration to this matter.

improvements at Summerside.

One of the most noticeable of the public improvements of Summerside is the park vr public garden into which the ugly drill shed square has been transformed, The ground has been levelled, traversed by walks and planted with ornamental trees ; snd will soon, under the supervision of the lown Counciigsnd its excellent Chairman, be a thing of beiu'y, creditable tu al concerned in it. We note, too, that board stand is being erected from which the Summerside Brass Band will “‘discourse eweet music.” Among the handsome residences lately erected are those of the Stipendiary Magistrate, Mr. McQuarrie, Mr. P. T. Fanning and Mr. William Stewart. The residence of Ronald Macdonald, Exq., on Central Street, is among those which have been improved. It is rather surprising to tind that the roomy and eligibly sii uated stores in the large new brick building recently erected on Water Street by Mr. Otto Crabbe, have not yet been taken by local merchants, the more so as they must, while unlet, be very at- tra@ive to outside competitors. One of the institutions of Summerside is Parkside farm, where many ultra-fashionably-bred trotters are kept, the chief being the very promising young stallion Parkside, from *alo Alto, California. It has already been intimated in these columns that Mr. Bren- nan will sell a portion of his excellent stock, by auction on Dominion Diy. Every one who wants trotters of the best strains should attend this sale.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

Letter From Dr. Taylor.

Srr,—I have accidentally discovered that it is proposed to introduce, during this coming summer session of our local Parliament a medical bill of a most arbitrary, stringent character,

The medical profession ase not made ac- quainted with the nature of the bill. The public whese interest will be affected have no means of knowing its nature.

Hitherto when medical bills where about to be introduced they were published and dis- tributed among the doctors for their infor- mation and that of the public.

In this case the utmest secrecy is observed. I know just enough about the bill to be able to say that if the principle on which it is based were carried iato political life we would he willing to sacrifice everything, even life itself in order to effect a change.

I submit that no principle so repugnant to us as a people should be fore-d on any par- ticular section.. I am certain that our legislators are anxious to do what is right. Lot them exercise due caution in this matter.

We waat full information.

A Word With “Citizen.”

Sin,—In your issue of Saturday ‘‘Citi- zen” puts ia a plea (1 cannot say a very strony one) for a stringent license law; but he fails to suggest how stringent «a one would suit his fancy. If he be engaged in the trattic, he ought surely to let us know something of his ideas as to stringency, but if he be not a» enaged, why trouble himself about it ? Would it not be well to allow things to continue fora time, and then he would be able more correctly to contrast the results of the Canada Temperance Act with those of ‘free rum.” This seems to the writer the most certain way of gaining the necessary information between the two systems.

FaTat_ty Burnep.—Says the Parrsboro News: One day last week a ten-year old son of Mr. William Scott, of West Beook, started for the steam mill where his father was Workiug. Just as he reached the mill a spark from the smokestack set fire to his cotton blouse. Instead of going into the mill the boy ran for home, and was _ so badly burned that he died on Sunday last, after great suffering.

A Ciose Catt.—The air brakes failing to work on a Third Avenue (New York) ele- vated train, just as it was running into the South Ferry Station, caused quite a little smash-up on Thursday afternoon. The Sumpers at the end of the platform stopped the train, but the shock of the collision threw most of the passengers to the floor, causing great excitement and badly wreck- ing theengine. Noone was hurt, and a | wrecking train soon cleared away the} debris.

Potice Courr. — This morning two drunks were disposed of for fines of $1 or 4 days and $5 or 20 days, respectively, and an abusive language case was adjourned. It appears that one of the drunks borrowed a bivle from a well-known city clergyman ia order to convince a particular friend that there was a place of punish- ment in the next world, and that the Salvation Army was justified by the scrip- tures. When he returned to his friend with the bible he was too drunk to read it. The bible was found upon his’ person when he was gathered in by the police.

SARSAPARILLA AT THE FeEstivat. —The Greenville branch ot the Jersey City Young Men’s Christian Association held a straw- berry festival and sociable in the rooms Wednesday night. One of the members gave a dozen bottles of a brand of Sarsap- arilla. Because the bottles were black and shaped like champagne bottles, Charles R. Burger, president of the association and an ardent prohibitionist, refused tc let them be placed upon the tables. The ladies in charge of the refreshments, however, in- sisted upon serving their contents to the guests. Now Mr. Burger is hopping mad, ~ declares he will resign.—New York
