The Proposed Compromise.
A proposition to make The Tunnel alone the issue of the election in this Province, nnd to elect Messrs. Ferguson and Davies by acclamation as the representatives of (Queen's County, has found expression in the Guardian. If the issue could be nar- rowed down to The Tunnel, the proposi- tion might be worthy of some consideration. From ‘** The Tunnel” point of view, the election of Hon. Mr. Ferguson is, undoubt- edly, of the first importance. Next to Sen- ator Howlan, Mr. Ferguson is at once the most fully informed concerning the tunnel as well as the most willing and hearty, advocate of the
and the ablest available, tunnel. Any fair and honorable proposition to place his election beyond the peradven- ture of a doubt is, therefore, worthy of atten- tion. Oa the other hand, any means of transforming Mr. L. H. Davies into an ac- tive and enthusiastic advocate of the tun- nel, instéad of the carping critic that he has been and is, ought be seriously con- sidered. Hitherto, as Senator Howlan was informed by an influential member of the Commons, ** Mr. Davies has left the im- pression on the House that the Islanders do not want the Subway.” Referring to the attitude of Mr Davies in respect to the tunnel, Senator Howlan says :
‘“‘T read his speeches in Halifax, St. Johr, Moncton, and other portions of the Maritime Proviaces, but L looked in vain for one ray of sunshine or one word on behalf ot his rative province. He forgot, in the gigantic flights wf nis poetic fancy, his Island home—it was never in his thoughts. He saw the farmer struggling with his crops through the bad weather of the fsll— he saw him handicapped as ogeinst his neighbor of the Mainland, but was as dumb as an oyster on the subject.”
Mr. Davies has ability ax an advocate. It is this fact which has rendered his oc- casional criticisms, and his silence when he onght to speak, influential in impressing Parliament and the country with the idea that the tunnel scheme is impossible and foolish—a mere dream of Senator Howlan, anda mere electioneering dodge on the part of Sir John Macdonald. If the tunne; wer: the only question, and if, as a ecn- dition of obtaining hia seat, he would agree to warmly advocate the tunnel—then the electors might consider the advisability of re-electing Mr. L H. Davies.
But would it be expedient, even from the tunnel point of view, to elect our re- presentatives on the tunnel issue alone ? We fear some facetious member might, while Parliament is in session, point to our six tunnelites as the exponents of a policy almost as narrow and long and dark as that of the Grits. It must never be forgotten

Deadler to Canadian institutions than the campaign of a United States geveral could possibly be, is the *‘ plan of campaign” proposed by Erastus Wiman and supported by Mr. Laurier, Sir Richard Cartwright and their followers. By Mr. Wiman’s plan we are deprived of the assistance of Great Britain, for great Britatn will not interfere ia res- a question of trade, and we fight the battle unaided. ‘Unrestricted Rec’ procity " onceintreducecs Canada will be at the mercy of the States in respect to its fiscal pulicy, direct taxation ** Annexation’ must in- On the other hand, Sir

John has proposed a frendly negotiation to the end that all our diffi-ulties with the States may be removed, that the great boon vf reciprocity of trade may be obtained, that good feeling may be re- established between the States aud Canada, —wiihout endangering in any way the status of Canada as a member of the British commonwealth. Shall we take no part in the decision of this question of paramount
mutual
national importance, upon which the twu parties have divided? Shall we send sx men to Ottawa with instructions only as to the tunnel ?
Whether we like the arrangement, or whether we like it not, there are two
parties in Canada. So long as this condi- tion exists, the elector is compelled, as a general rule, to choose between the two, and differing policies and administrations are the grounds upon which he ought to chyisen_There pay of course, be exeap-! ‘tions to the rule. There are times when a union and & compromise between the par- ties are advisable. But unless Mr. Davies is prepared, not only to advocate the tun- nel, but also to support the Reciprocity Policy of Sir John Macdonald rather than Unrestricted Reciprocity, this, surely, is not the time.

Tue New York Herald, in a leading ar- ticle headed ‘Troubles Everywhere,” after pointing out the troubles existing in different parts of the world—the Chilian revolution, the revolt of part of the Royal Army in Portugal, the Ministerial crisis at Rome which led to the resignation of M. Crispi, and the activity of the Nihilists in Russia— concludes with the following sig- nificant statement ;—
**On the other hand, Americans are happy and comfortable, with nothing to disturb their sleep except the ghost of the Force bill, the eccen'ricities of the Farmers’ Alliance, the conspiracy of Reed and McKinley agsiust Blaine’s reciprocity project, and the attempts of Sir John Macdonald to keep Canada from joining the Union.”
And yet the Grits say that Unrestricted Xeciprocity does not lead to Annexation !

“A Put Up Job.”
Tne Washington correspondent of the New York Herald, in Monday’s issue of that paper, commenting upon the corres- pondence between Mr. Blaine and Repre- sentative Baker, says that it was a put up job between them. ‘* Both correspondents knew before hand what was to be said on either side.” The correspondent goes on tosay: “I am privately assured that Mr. Blaine expects to see Sir John Macdoiald carry the next election by a good majurity.’ We italicize the above for the benefit of our Grit contemporaries. For the last few months they have been drawing inspivation from Washington. But now it would sem that the confidence they have in the Ameri- can statesman isnot mutual. Mr. Blaine sees and knows that he will bave to deal with the Government cf Sir John, and not with that fortuitous concourse of atoms of which there is no likelihood of its erystaliz- ing into a Cabinet for many a long year yet.

The first case argued this morning was an application of M. W. Marvphy for a writ of certiorari to quash a conviction made. by Donald McLeod and Roderick Mc Donala, two Justices of the Peace for Queen’s County, by which the applicant was con. victed of an assault on a man named Daniel McD inald, of Vernon River. The absanit vas committed in Charlottetown and writs was moved for on the ground that the Magistrates in Queens County have no jurisdiction to try offenders for offences committed in Charlottetown. Mr M Leod Q. C., opposed the application. Mr. Hodyson, Q. C, insuppert. Aftera long argument judgment was reserved.
Haley vs. Heard and Mellish—Mr. Hodgson, Q C, moved for and obtained a rule nisi to set aside the nonsuit in this case.

tained a rule nisi fora new trial in this case. The Court then adjourned until to- morrow at 1l a. m. +e JOURNALISTIC. — The Standard is the
