THE DAILY EXAMINER. OCTOBER 25, 1890.

The Governor-General’s Visit.

Tus visit of the Governor-General and the Lady Stanley of Preston was mutually pleasing. That the Government, the Lieutenant-Governor and the people of this Province would unite in giving their Excellencies a hearty welcome and in

making their stay among us happy and interesting, was a matter of course. It is gratifying to have

the assurance of His Excellency that they succeeded in their efforts—even beyond an- ticipation. We have no doubt that the representative of the Queenw 4s impressed with the fact that Britons hoid their own in Prince Edward Island, and that not many here would be willing to sell their allegiance for a mess of pottage, even though they should be reduced to extremities as « result of the operation of the McKinley Bill. On the other hand, it is pleasing to learn that His Excellency carries away with him the most favorable impressions of the ‘tight little Island.” To those who accompanied him yesterday he said that our wide landscapes reminded him of those of some parts of England. A lover of chil- dren, he was delighted with the schools, and inspired with hope for the future by the evidences he saw of the cultivation of sentiments of patriotism and the virtues of morality. When next he comes, the warmth of his welcome will be heightened by feelings of personal regard as well as by sentiments entertained towards him on account of his great name and his high oftice.

Notes and Comments.

-— A Berlin despatch says the Reichsan- zeiger publishes an explanation of the origin of the recent report of the German administration at Bagamoyo issuing a de- cree authorizing slavery. The Arabs had sent a petition to the Germans asking that facilities be given for the sale of slaves on the ground that otherwise they would be unable to cultivate their devastated lands. In some way a copy of the petit#n became posted asa proclamation. Upon this were based the false accusations made against the Germans by the British consul at Zanzibar. Though knowing the persons responsible for the charges it declines to disclose the names.

— A thorough reform of the Prussia sys- tem of taxation has been plaaned by Finance Minister Miquel, and will be sub- mitted to the Prussian deputies. The principal ideas of this reform are a closer estimate of the incomes of tax payers, the heavier taxation of funded income in com- parison with salaries or wages, and exten- sion of the inheritance tax to children,

arents, and the widow or widower. Herr Miquel also proposes to introduce several quite new provisions concerning the num- ber of children and other dependents in each household, witha view to lightening the burdens of fathers of large families. The income tax wil! decrease relatively from incomes of $2,280 downward.

Tt is regretted that some of those who were invited and accepted were unable to obtain seats at the table, and that the truth was again made manifest that it ‘‘is easier to find fault than todo.” After the health of the Queen had been received with all the honors, the Premier, Mr. McLeod, rose in his place and proposed the health of their guest—the Governor-General.

His Excellency, on rising to respond was received with enthusiastic applause. He said that he could not fully express his thanks not only for the toast, but for the heartiness with which he had been received in Prince Edward Island, and the hospi- tality with which he had been treated. He expressed his regret that he was not able to stay longer. But he was, as it were, under sailing orders. He was indebted to Captain Dowding for his passage, he was bound by the orders on beard ship, and be- sides there were other considerations which obliged him to leave these hospitable shores sooner than he cared to do. In _ the short time that he kad been able to remain, he had been enabled by the kindness of the Gov- ernment and the citizens to see much that was of interest; and he expressed his re- gret that he had not been able to see the Province more thoroughly. But he hoped io be able to come here again before the expiration of his term. Several of his predecessors had set him the example of visiting all the Provinces of the Dominion, and he felt it to be his duty todo so. This is already a matter of some difficulty. If the country goes on developing as it has done—unless Erastus Wiman solves the difficulty in the meantime—some new mode of locomotion will be needed in order that his successors may properly perform this duty. It will be admitted by al! that the Government of the Dominion has been un- swerving in its efforts to improve means of communication between the various parts of Canada The wants of outlying districts have not been left unconsidered. The Government have a record for railway- building which eclipses that of any nation

in the world. But what good, you may ask, will that be for us who live upon an island? This, at least, may be said, that you have

linked your interests for better, for worse, with those of the United Dominion; and the solid progress of the rest of Canada can- not but reflect upon you. Of course, it is true that the Central Government, in as- suming its responsibilities, guaranteed certain rights to the Provinces. He recall- ed the fact that while he was Secretary of State for the Colonies, it was represented to the Colonial Office that the Dominion Gov- ernment had not performed all its pro- mises to Prince Edward Island. On the other hand, it was urged that the perform- ance of what had been promised was im- possible. A number of remedies had been suggested and examined, and he was glad to be informed that the Dominion Govern- ment had done its best to overcome the dif- ficulties presented in this case, and to di- mioish the circumstances which rendered communication at times uncertain. He had nothing to do with party politics. But he had never known the Ocanea Government '-4ifferent to the wants and claims of

he believed that the and the blessings which we now enjoy will be carried down to pow terity. From the Lieutenant-Governor of the Province, whom he had met at Ottawa, he knew that he would have a hearty welcome ; but the warmth of his

reception by the public had greatly -

ceeded his expectations.

His Excellency was warmly applauded at several points of his speech ; and when he sat down three hearty cheers were given for him, and three for Lady Stanley. The party then sang ‘‘ God Save the Queen,” and dispersed.

Afterwards, His Excellency, accompanied by the Chief Justice and Mayor Haviland, took a drive in the suburbs of the town, visiting Victoria Park, the Trotting Park, Glynwood—where he obtained a splendid view of the town, harbor, and surrounding country—and returning to the ship at half- past four o’clock.

The following is a list of the ladies and gentlemen invited to meet their Kxcellen- cies at dinner at Government House :—

Her Excellency the Lady Stanley of Preston was unable te be present at Gov- ernment House last evening, cwing to in- disposition. It is, perhaps, needless to say that her absence was a source of great disappointment to all.

H. M, 8S. Canada, with their Excellencies on board, left for Pictou at three o'clock this morning.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. Who is Respensible ?

Sirn,—The teachers and pupils of Queen Square School feel that they have been un- fairly treated by the reception committee in the matter of the Governor-General’s visit to the city schools. No notice of the intended visit to Queen Square School had been received by the teachers until Wed- nesday night. The whole of Thursday, until late at night was spent in preparation. When all arrangements were abont com- pleted, a message was received on Friday morning that the Governor-General would not visit the school. It was learned after- wards that he would have visited the school, and the teachers and boys would have been ready to receive him, if it were not tor the misleading message of the morning. We want to know who is responsible for the outrage. Joun McSwain.

The Luncheon.

Sizn,—No one can excuse the stupidity and want of business capacity of the lun- cheon committee in not having sufficient seating accommodation for the guests who yesterday afternoon attended the Govern- ment luncheon in the Council chamber. I received an invitation to be present, which I duly accepted. I attended prompt- ly at the hour and place named in the invi- tation, and after waiting for the luncheon for nearly an hour, the signal was at length given and the company nto file into their seats with the result that after all the places at the table were taken, upwards of a dozen were unable to obtain any sitting room, and were obliged to put on their hats and coats and leave the party to seek elsewhere a luncheon they had failed to obtain in the Provincial Building, although called there with all the ceremony and circumstance, attending a Government in- vitation, and this they kad to do in full view of the committee, which had the matter in hand, and whose members were among the first to seize seats for themselves. I would have supposed it was the duty of the members of the committee to see that all those invited would get seated, before they themselves sat down. This surely was to be éxpected of a body of gentlemen who undertook to perform the duty of host, aud this, I think, is the least they should have done. But it seems entertaining is new to these gentlemen. At any rate, their methods of doing ‘‘mine host” are strange and novel. I considered it no honor to be invited to the luncheon, but when invited, deemed it my duty to attend as a mark of respect to the Governor-General. Did the persons who were unavle to get seats suppose that the committee were doing things at haphazard and had failed to inform themselves as to
