iAY 19 (Sse. Our Claim to the Fishery Award. We make no apology for placing the ful- _— “ol f lowing etter in our editorial columns, and

calling special attention to if. The writel places the case on the right basis, and ad ministers a very proper rebuke to those who would fain make it a party question ; To the Editer of the Eramveer.

the Island’s claim, until after the money had been paid

over to Canada by tha Imperial Govern- ment. Nothing was done towards assert- ing our rights in this matter while the

money wasin the hands ef the Imperial Giovernment—the party who urged us te accept the Washington Treaty, and whe would undoubtedly do us justice if our claims had been presented tothem. Onlytro claimants appeared — Newfoundland and the Dominion of Canada, and the laperial Government paid ever te each what was believed to be a fair-share, reserving net- ing for Prince Edward Isiand—eue vi | the contracting parties te the Treaty, ne de- mand being made by any person on her behalf. ‘Vhe able jawyer totally neglected the interests of the Isiand and that, t when he was Attorpey

General and Premier of the Province, and was being well paid by tiie people for at- tending t. theirinterests. It is absurd to aay that being a part ef the Deminion of Canada, we could potapply directly to the Mother Country for a share of this Award. We base eur claim upon the fact that we never surrendered to Canada our interest in this Award on going into Coniederation, and such being the case, we shonld have applied te the fmperial Government, who held 1 oney as Trustee for ail the par- ties interested. All despatches and docnu- ments forwarded by cur Local Government through the proper channe!, will find their wav to the foot of the Throne, and will there receive due consideration ; and we can new enly hope that the address lately sent may ineet with the approval of Her Majesty s Governmen!, and thai they will interest themselves in our behalf. Shonld we prove unsuccessful in that direction, wacan then have recourse io the House ef Commons of Canada, and if we can suc- ceed in convincing the representatives from the Upper Provinces of the justice of our claim, it is not likely they will withheld

from vs our rights. To ine it appears most fortunate that. no decision has baen given by the Heuse of Commons en our claim. The isiand represntatives

deserve great credif for their skilful man- agement of carcase in the Commons. They lost ne opportunity of urging upen the Governinent and the House the justice of our claims, This they did with much force and’ ability, while at the same time they} did net presa the matter to a vote, which if done would certaialy, judging from the present tomper of the House, result ina defeat. ‘hey therefore, whilo instructing the repre-entatives froa the other Prov- inces as {> the justice of our claims, have kept tlie matter open. This has not been the case with tee other Provinces. Their clainis have been forced to a vote by the officio.s member from Inverness ; and the result has been a crushing defeat, | settling fir ever their claims. The Patriot states tha: it was a creat mistake to allow our claims to be mixed up with that ef the other Provinces. That] admit. But wha] mixed ap the claims? Was it the repre- seniatives from this Island supporting the

Who then mixed up the cases! Why, sup- porters of the Opposilion for party) pur- poses. We find that Mr. Yeo in his place in his place in the House of Commons, on the 10th Mareh, 1879, moved—‘* That an Address be voted to His Excellency the Governor General for copies of all corres- nondeuce between the Government of Prince Edward Island and ether local Gov- ernments in the Dominion and the Do- minion Government relative to the appro- priation and distribution of the ‘Fishery Award.” [Vide votes and proceedings for i879, Folio 121. |

When he found, however, that his leaders were opposed to him, he fled from the field of battie and took refuge in the fastnessea of Inverness, leaving his resolu- tions to be taken care by others who toek a reel interest in the matter.

In conclusion L would advise the editor of the Patriot to when diseussing He sheuld endeaver to forward the interests of he people in connection with this matter rather than that of party.
