AUGUST 30, 1899.

SIR RICHARD CARTWRIGHT AND OUR RAILWAY BRANCHES.

|} Sir RickarpD Cartwricnr strives to ex- cuse the Liberal Government at Ottawa by reference to what the Conservatives did or This, in itself, ie a re- markable fact which must atrike the electorate as peculiar, seeing that Sir Richard wae, above all others, the man who, when in Opposition, denounced, year jo and year out, all that the Conservati ves did or proposed todo. The fact that hig apology for the $60,000,000 money grants late seseion is that the Conser- or would have done as badly» shows either that he knows his denunciations were false and uamerited or that he knows that the Liberals are more deeply in the mud ‘than the Conservatives were in the mire. In either case his posic tion is notan admirable one, and cannot be applauded by intelligent electors.

But we desire, today, to call attention to one point in the Toronto speech of the whilom doughty knight which the Pat- riot ie now publishing. Sir Richard took up Mr. Foster’s proposed estimates for the year 1897 and proceeded, after his own peculiar fashion, to compare it with the larger estimates actually passed by the Liberal majority in Parliament. in the course of this operation he said :

“T bave here a list of the Prince Edward I+land Railway, seven branches, aggregat~ ing 127 miles,which, from past experience, Il am very sure, under the management of Sir Charles Tupper, would never bave been constructed for less than two and a balf millions.’

We ask the people of Prince Edward Island to compare this remark with the remarks of Mesere Foster ani Haggart and Sir Mackenzie Bowell, recently pudl!:shed by Tue Examiner, and to decide whether of the political parties of whom these gentlemen are the representatives are the of this Province, and which stronger wish to do us imagine Sir Rich- r {ar a’s when speaking to. bis | friends in Toronto of the idea of expend- . ,000 in Prince Edward Island. y-| he author ot the epithet “Shreds and .3- | has evidently not much considers | ation for the littlest paich ofall.

tario to swamp our little ones in our own market. There is nota word in Sir Rich- ard’s speech about the equiteble claim of Prince Edward Island to the branch rail ways referred to in Mr. Foster’s proposed estimates of 1897. But Mr, Foster and Sir C. Tupper are held up to scurn because it proposed by their government to build seven short branch railways in Prince Ed- ward Island for the accommodation of its people. ard Cartwright at Toronto is the spirit permeating western members against which our Senators and our Liberal Conservative representatives in the House of Commons had to battle on behalf of our rights; and the people, when they enjoy the advantagee afforded by these branches in running order, will be able to estimate how great a debt they owe to these men. Itis evident now that the

A DANGEROUS BRIDGE.

Sir,—I had occasion tocrose Brazil’s Bridge,st Johnstou’s River,a few nights ago: and a friend remarked to me that the bridge was unsafe,—not fit to carry a heavy load over aod without railiug. He said that he never crossed with aload but he got off and went before the horse. I understand that a new cover was put upon this bridge, but the old striogers were left on, and at the time it was repaired would not hold the spikes. About this I cannot eay except as reported tome. But as regarde the rail- ing I can write from observatios,—and | cousider it very unsafe. The bridge is probably 150 to 200 feet long, and has a depth of water of 7 or 8 feet. Besides, very bigh tide covers a part of the roadway on eac h side and occasionally nearly the whole bridge, and on a dark night it makes one extremely nervous to venture across. I would request the Minister of Public Works to examine it at once; and, if as Tes ported,the stringers are cracked and rotten, to repair it before some accident happens. If the foundation is good place a railing on the bridge of some kind fer the protection of the travelling public. QR

YOUR

OPEN LETTER NO 1, TO “VOX POPULI’— ONCE HOLY WILLIE.

Sir,— We have read your letters with intereste We do not desire to criticise them but to briefly comment thereon.

We admit you have clearly outlined a few of the misdeeds of the Liberal Gov- ernment For this we commend you, but we much regret that you bave so resorted to the po'icy of abuse. Aoure was never a power- ful weapon, and you have directed it at the head of one man. Does it not strike you that the man who cannot argue his point fairly is prone to cast personal abuse upon his opponent, If your opponent in this case is 60 contaminated as you would bave us believe, we would advise you to quit the liste ; for, you canpot wrestle with dirt and remain uncon~ taminated. We implore you discuss the public questions of the day upoa their merit*, for upon their merits alone shall they be decided before the great tribunal of public opinion.

We know thatthe Liberal Government has proven falee to their policy enunciated before they attained power, Although they have taxed the living and the dead, yet they have had deficits year after year. But did not the Conservatives the same? We know that the electorate is fast losing confidence in the Liberal Party, but to whom shaj) they turn? The Conserva- tive policy of bye-gone years bas been con- demned by the electorate, and we have not seen where that party has adopted a new policy.

Theeyes of the independent electors are turned to the Conservative party. Can they not adopt and be prepared to carry out a policy calculated to redeem this pro- vince from its thraldom. And “ Vox Populi,” would it not be well for you to spend your leisure moments in formulating such a policy ? Will you be the Moses to lead the people out of the thraldom or the Aaron to assist others iv so doing ?

Should the Conservative party formulate a policy suited to the requirements of the Province, we need not doubt but what they will be returned to power by an over- whelming majority at next election.

Now, “Vox Populi,” bere is a chance for you to render meritorious service to your party and yourcountry. Do not seek power for selfish purposes but prepare te accept power ia the interests of your country. Where, where is the Conserva- tive party? Are they dead or sleeping? We trust they will awaken to the neceesi- ties of the times, thatthe next election may find them dressed in new garments that they may not appear “as a root out of dry ground.” Remember, opportunity has hair in front, behind he is bald.

Yours ete. Inpex.
