If the energy which has characterized the efforts of Liberal-Conservatives in town and country, during the past week, be con- tinued, a great and notable triumph will be theirs on the 30th of January.

The Liberal-Conservatives in the field are, with scarcely an exception, popular and capable men; and our advices concern- ing their prospects are most encouraging.

Prince County will probably give an un- usually good account of itself. We contfi- dently anticipate the election of Messrs. Blanchard and Larkins, in the First District. Concerning them a great- ly esteemed correspondent writes :

“They were the unanimous choice of the District Convention, held at Alberton on Thursday last, and go into the fight to win. The French electors have one of themselves in Mr. Blanchard, and should rally to his sup- port. The McLeod Government should count representatives of every nationality, as it will be decidedly the People’s Government. Mr. Larkins is a strong card, and will come through the combat gallantly.”

We hope, also, to see a breach in Hon. John Yeo's stronghold, , One of our corres- pondents writes:

“Mr. A. MecKianon, of Coleman, has consented to contest the Second District of Prince, in opposition to Messrs. Yeo and Rich- ards. Ata public meeting held in Inverness, on the 13th, Mr. Yeo said that he did not believe in direct taxation. This was thought very thin, as it isa well known fact that is the principal point with the Grits. Mr. Richards did not want to go back to the Davies Government. He thought it should be forgotten, and the present only looked at. Mr. McKinnon supported the Government, and knocked all their arguments to the ground. The Government is sure of a, supporter from this district.”

It se »ms possible that the Hon’s. J. O. Arset.ault aad J. A. MacDonald will be re- turned,for the Third District without op- position ; and it is not likely that, in Be- deque, Mr. J.{H. Bell or anyone he may be able to take with hin: will be able to de- feat either our eflicient Commissioner of Public Works or his highly respected col- league, Major Wright, Esquire, of Centre- ville. For Summerside, the candidates are both men of ability, both thoroughly acquainted with the wants and interests of the district—men worthy in every way the confidence of the people of Summerside, St. Eleanor’s and Miscouche.

In Queen’s County the outlook is scarce- ly less favorable. In Mr. J. Heber Has- lam Hon. William Campbell has for his colleague a young man of high char- acter and high intelligence. Mr. Haslam’s letters to Tue Examiner have shown the people that he has taken a good grip of the political questions of the day. He is a worthy «in of one of the oWest apd «beet families in the district.

the

THE D

If character and ability, and knowledge of the wants of the district and the Province count for anything, Messrs. Campbell and Haslam ought to be victorious in the First District of Queen’s. In the Second Dis- trict the canvass of Messrs. McKay and Currie has, so far, been unexpectedly suc- cessful. Lhe people of West River say that **it is Farquharson (not Ferguson) who must’go”—-and we believe that the 30th January will prove their saying true. Hon. Donald Ferguson and Lucius O. Kelly, Esq., have greater encouragement in the Third District than they had in 1887, notwithstanding the desperate (and dis- graceful) tactics which are being employed by a brace of city lawyers, backed up by the whole force and influence of the Opposition Party. We shall be disappointed if Martin and McLean do not carry Belfast, in sup- port of our Belfast leader. The canvass in this city is highly satisfactory to the Lib- eral-Conservative party. It is said that the Oppositionists hope to elect Mr. Weeks —but the grounds for their hope are, we believe, wholly imaginary. We expect that Charlottetown will triumphantly elect the Leader of the Government and his popular and able colleague, Mr. Blake.

For King’s County, our only regret is that a colleague has not yet been found for John McLean, Esq. But there is compen- sation in the fact that the Oppositionists, a second candidate We hear very favor-

too, are still without for the First District. able reports from the second District. The election of Underhay and Sullivan is re- garded as sure by our friends ;—but we ad- vise an canvass and watchfuluess there, as everywhere. 1n the Cardigan Dis- trict the Opposionists seem to be completely flabbergasted. A deputation visited Char- lottetown yesterday in the forlorn hope that they might induce Mr. Peter McCourt, of the Registry Office—an appointee of the Sullivan Government— to come out and do battle for them against his best friends and against the interests of the country. Of course they met with a refusal, What other desperate effort they will make remains to

active

be seen. In any case, whatever they may do, the people of Cardiga:. will, we believe, stand by their tried and true representa- tives—Shaw and MacDonald. In the Mur- ray Harbor District, the election of Hon. James Clow and Angus McLeod, Esq., is, admittedly, beyond a doubt—the situation there requiring only care and watchfulness; and in Georgetown there seems to be lit- tle likelihood that Hon. Daniel Gordon and Hon. A. J. McDonald will be opposed. All along the line the outlook for the Liberal-Conservatives is hupeful beyond ex- pectation, beyond precedent.

The demoralized state of the Opposition renders the situation all the more favorable for the Government.

Indeed the Oppositionists can hardly ex- to win the confidence of an intelligent people, seeing that they have no definite

pelicy.

Not Attending to Their Duties.

PARLIAMENT met to-day. But some of our representatives, or rather mis-repre- sentatives, are still at heme looking after their own personal concerns, and wire- pulling for their local friends. Dr. Me- Intyre for one, was, we hear, seen moving about Souris streets yesterday talking poli- tics and the coming election, instead of being on his way to Ottawa, as itis his bounden duty to be. Mr. L. H. Davies is also here, trying to ruin the political pros- pects of the Hon. Donald Ferguson. Per- haps these gentlemen have come to the con- clusion that as they are of no use to their constituents at Ottawa, they will remain at home as long as they can without losing too much of their pay.

Professor Caven’s Lecture.

Lasr evening was stormy and other- wise disagreeable. Professor Caven’s lec- ture on **Two Scenes in Canadian His- tory” was, consequently, not as_ well attended as it should have been—though the audience was a highly respectable one. The Hon. A. A. Macdonald occupied the chair. The great and terrible earthquake of the year 1663, and Dollard’s romantic and heroic adventure on the bauks of the Ottawa, were the *‘ two scenes” upon which Professor Caven dilated. We need not say that both were very graphically pictured. The widespread disturbance of nature and the caine in the one, and the heroic self-abnegation and wonderful bravery dis- played in the other, were indeed subjects well worthy the Professor's pen. t is worthy of remark that both these historic events inured to the good of Canada: the one in turning the hearts of a rebellious and immoral people to the wisdom of the Just;the other in preserving the infant city of Montreal from an attack of the [Iroquois and (mayhap) the — French colony from annihilation. Judge Reddin proposed a vote of thanks to the lecturer, which was eloquently seconded by Councillor Byrne, aud unanimously carried. Professor Caven replied briefly, reminding his hearers that the incidents to which he had referred formed not merely part of the history of the French-Canadians, but were portions of the history of our own country,—that the history of Canada began. not with the com- bat on the Heights of Abraham, but in the more distant past when the pioneer French- men battled against the powers of nature in a new country and of a powerful Indian confederacy. While listening to his lecture of last evening, many of the hearers were, no doubt, looking forward in hope to the publication of Professor Caven’s history of Prince Edward Island.

Supreme Conrt.

adjourned until to-morrow (Friday) at 11. The Grand Jury presented his Lordship Chief Justice Sullivan with the address : To rur Honorasie WILLiIAM WILFRED SUL- LIVAN, Q. C., Cuter Justice OF THE PRo- VINCE OF PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND.

May it please Your Lordship:

The Grand Jury of Queen's County, Prince Edward Island, Canada, for the Hilary Term, 1890, avail themselves of this opportunity of congratulating Your Lordship upon attaining the eminent position of Chief Justice of this Province, the duties of which they feel con- tident you will discharge with credit to your- self and impartial justice to all concerned.

While regretting the removal by death of the deeply-lamented late Chief Justice Palmer, and sympathising with his widow and family in their sad bereavement, the Grand Jury must express their satisfaction upon the choice made as regards his successor, and it is their earnest and sincere hope that Your Lordsbip may long be spared to fill the important and eupentiiile otlice of Chief of the Administra- tion of Justice in this your native Island.

For self and fellows, TuHomas HANDRAHAN, Foreman. Grand Jury Room, Charlottetown, P. E. L., January, 14th, 1890.

The Chief Justice replied verbally, sub- stantially as follows :—

GENTLEMEN,—I have to thank you very much for the address you have presented to me, which I appreciate very highly, coming, as your message of congratulation does, from a body of gentlemen selected to perform most important public functions on account of their exceptional intelligence and high characters. The judicial history of Prince Edward Island does not extend very far back, but during the hundred years or so of its continuance there have presided on the Bench, Judges eminent tor their acquirements and other merits, notably amongst whom was my immediate predecessor, the late Chief Justice Palmer, who gave a high character to our judiciary on account of his many meritorious qualities. I am fortunate in having associated with me at the commencement of my judicial career two Judges like Justices Peters and Hensley, of, long experience, whose reputations com- mand public confidence. The position of Chief Justice is, as you remark, a high and responsible one, and it requires in the occu- pant a combination of attributes, many of which, I fear, I do not possess I feel, how- ever, that I can say that whatever may be my shortcomings in other respects, I bring to the performance of my duties a firm determination to dispense justice without fear, favor or affection. I again thank you for your address, which, to me, is enhanced in value by reason of its coming from the Grand Jury of my native County.

The Grand Jury, previous to their dis- charge presented the following report : Granp Jury Rooms,

Hilary Term, Jan. 15, 1890.

Tbe Jury beg to report that they paida visit to the Hospital for the Insane, and were pleased indeed to find that institution in the very best of order. In going through the dif- ferent wards we found the inmates to consist of sixty-four males and seventy-two females— making a total of one hundred and thirty-six. The patients appear to be kept cleanly and un- der good adhe Mr. McPhail and assist- ants. The rooms were scrupulously clean and neat, the beds clean andgcomfortable, and the provisions of various kinds were good and sufficient.

The Grand Jury also visited the Poor House, in which there are twenty-nine males and twelve females. As we entered the building wefound the inmates at dinner. The food before them seemed to be substantial and suf- ficient, and the inmates appeared to be thor- oughly content. The bedding, also, was clean and ample.

The Jers visited Queen’s County Jail, and found everything in good order, warm and well ventilated. There are fourteen males and two females. One of the males—a boy of ten or twelve years of age—again reminds us of the great need of a reformatory for boys.

For self and fellows, Tuomas HANDRAHAN, Foreman.

In the cases of the the Queen vs. David Arbing, jr., indictment for housebreaking, and of the Queen vs. Francis Cavanagh, in- dictment for house-breaking and larceny, the Grand Jury brought in ** no bills.”

Public Meeting.

A public meeting of the inhabitants of New Acadia was heid on the 15th inst. to consider the locating of a new road from that settlement running northward. Mr. Theophilus Gallant was called to the chair After an animated discussion as to the three routes talked of for the road, a com- protaise was submitted to the meeting by Mr. Sylvester Gallant, carpenter, agreeing to accept the central route, which would be nearest the school-house. As no definite conclusion was arrived at, the meeting se- parated without a division having been taken.

Alexandra Jottings.

Our school is progressing favorably under the efficient management of Mr. Frizzell.

Richard Burke has been spending his New Year with his friends here. He is looking hearty, as usual.

Why is it that the eastern part of this district, under the supervision of Mr. Mc- Kinnon, is well attended to in the matter of new bridges and repairs to old ones, and our two bridges, over which a great many travel on their way to the city, are left to decay ? A paltry job was attempt- ed at Brehaut’s Bridge and Burke’s Bridge is not any improvement on Brehaut’s. Dur- ing the past. two summers they were real-’ ly dangerous, and the unwary traveller might drive over the side on a dark night. He might be a Scott Act supporter too. A few pieces of uld fence rails constituted the repairs on Burke’s Bridge for the last two years. Some change must be made. We know what we are talking about, as we have travelled the eastern section and have examined the bridges in it.

Theo. Brehaut has been enlarging his out buildings.

A popular young man belonging to the district has embarked on the sea of matri- mony, having asa partner one of the fa- vorite daughters of Birch Hill. Congratu- lations are in order.

After the promotion of the Hon. W. W. Sullivan to a seat on the Supreme Court Bench of this Province, His Honor the Lieutenant-Governor entrusted me with the formation of a Government.

Having accomplished the formation of a Government, it was deemed proper, in view of the number of partial elections required to be held in consequence of the vacancies created and the nearness of the completion of the term of the present Parliament, to consult the electors by means of a General Election before entering en new legislation.

Agriculture being the main industry of the Province, measures will be adopted which will best render the labor of the husbandman remunerative, by increasing the aid given to the Annual Exhibitions, by the importation of improved stock, and by providing instruction on Agricultural Chemistry and a course of popular lectures on agricultnral subjects.

In order to give greater shipping facilities, and until the Dominion. Government shall have taken over all the wharves that became the property of the Dominion Government at the time of Confederation, it is our policy to keep in repair such of them as are essential to the trade of the locality where they are respectively built.

As in the past, our policy is to vigorously press toa settlement our claims against the Federal Government.

Rigorous economy will be practiced in the expenditure of public money, while at the same time liberal provision will be made for the public service.

Pending the adjustment of our claims against the Federal Government, our annual resources may not be sufficient to carry out the proposals indicated, and at the same time provide for the large expenditure required for our educa- tional system. In that case, such measures to supplement our revenue will be adopted as will bear the least heavily on the people, and will at the same time be just and equitabie.

Changes will be made in the public service in order to secure efficiency and greater security to the public interests.
