The Patriet’s Untimely Attack

Liberal

Wace the press of Conada, both bodies

and Liberal-Conservat’ .«, religious and political associativns, as well as persons of all religious persuasions and political vieing with each other in ability, loyalty and of the lamented pre-

complexions, are attesting to the great honesty of purpose mier of the Dominion, whose body has just been laid to rest, it is reserved for the Patriot to indulge in an ill-natured and ill-timed thrust at the dead statesman, to that **the his

have been exaggerated, and that

intimate pens sung to praise,’ che services rendered by him to the coun- try have been over-estimated. In one breath the Patriot says it *‘ is willing to admit that he (Sir John) was a great man, a popular party leader, and a loyal Cana- dian,” and in the next asserts that while he helped to frame the constitution * he was not always able to interpret it aright.” The Patriot also speaks slightingly of Sir John’s work in promoting the cause of Confedera- tion, and of “his services to the empire, '’re- marking that those who speak so highly of the services rendered by him to the empire, evidently allude to his tactics at the last general election | The Patrict writer the decency to wait until sorrow which swept over the whole Domi- nion at the death of the Premier had subsided somewhat; he might have waited at least uotil the funeral obsequies were over and the emblems of the nation's grief were removed, bafore giving vent to hia feelings of chagrinatthemaay high!yeulogistic refer-

might have had the wave of

enees made to the dead statesman, refer- ences which, to use the language vf an exchange, ‘would be called

forth by the death of no other in the Brit-

ish Empire, the Queen alone excepted.” But he could not dothis. The wonder is that he kept himself under control as long ashedid. It is pleasing, however, to be able to state that the course of the Patriot in this respect does not meet with the ap- proval of the better-thinking members of the Liberal party in this province. Be- littling the work of an eminent statesmen like Sir John Macdonald, befure his body js cold in the grave, may be a congenial oc- cupation for the noble-souled writer in the Patriot, but he will not raise himself in the estimation of right-thinking people by such

conduct.

How contemptible the Patrict’s deliver- anceappears when contrasted withthe noble tribute paidto Sir John’s workand worth by the Leader of the Opposition, Hon.

™¥iilfred Laurier, in the House of Commons.

Here are.his closing words :

** Before the , ave ofhim who, above all, wae the father of confederation, let not griet be barren grief, but let grief be coupled with the resolntion, the determination that the work in which Liberals and Conservatives, in which Brown and Macdonald united, shall not perieb, but that though United Canada may be deprived of the services of her yrand- eet map, yet still Canada shall and wil! live.”

— The slave trade is hard to put down. Mr. C. H. Allen, Secretary of the British and Foreign Anti-Slavery Soviety, has re- cently learned from a member of the So- ciety s Council, who returned not long ago from Morocco, that the trade is most active in that country. Mr. Gurney, the gentle- man in question, obtained from trustworthy sources & mass of information as to the sale vf slaves, male and female, at the market ot Tez, Moquador, Mequinez and elsewhere. In Pebruazy a caravan of 2,000 individuals, of whom 1,200 were girls, arrived at Ten- dont sud were sold to Moorish dealers for the markets ofthe Empire. The prices had fallen, owing to the large supply, from $120 « head to $60. The loss of life ina single caravan is set down at 1,000, Hun- dreds ave slain in the slave raids and hun- dreds more perish on the journey from Timbuctoo to markets north of the desert. The promise extracted from the Sultan by Sir John Hay, British minister, that no slaves would be sold in the cities is con- stantly broken. They are sold openly in the streets of Moquador and in the bazaars of the other cities. Thereis no difliculty inprocuringthem. SirCharles Ewen Smith, just appointed British plenipotentiary to Morocco, is a well-known opponent of the a and will use his influence with the Sultan,

DAILY E

The Situation. (Montreal Gazette.) The fact that everyone must be concern: ‘ed about the effect upon public affairs of ithe death of Sir John Macdonald hardly | excuses the haste, the slmost indecent haste, with which some have rushed in to ‘discuss the changes that must inevitably ‘follow the takiag away of one who filled so | yreat and so unique « place in the control of the state, There his boen so much of |this, however, and so much of it with an ‘evidently mischievous purpose in view, that it becomes almost a duty to show wherein it is based on false assumptions or is alto- gether unfounded. No one is likely to ap- preciate the loss to the country and to the Conservative party the Premier's death will cause so well as the men who have been associated with him in the Govern- ment, or who have followed his lead in the houses of parliament. He was to them at onee friend, adviser, guide and chief: ou his counsel they relied for a solution of the gravest diflicuities; him they followed through the most threatening paths with contidence that at the end was success, and he never deceived them. He was more to them than any other leader in parlia- ment in Csnada ever has bean to his party, or, fora long time, is ever likely to be. They appreciated the greatness of his pow- ers at thoir full worth, because they knew, calculated and relied upon them. They will not mike the mistake that his

the powers, skill and prestige of the old chief. They will not either fall into the error of thinking that because the old chief is gone the cause is shaken. There will be the more reason for them standing by each other and their new leader. Sir John Mac donsld’s work was largely accomplished be- fore he was stricken. The Union is com- pleted; it has beea joined from end to end by a splendid railway system; its political autonomy has been established; its com- nereial independence is secured. The ship of state has been guided through the rocks and shallows to view of the open sea. Thecrew is strong in numbers and courage aud experience. There ia neither room nor cause for losses of heart. There is every reason for hopeful pursuit of the path marked out for them in the past. If any have fears, they have only to look at

the circumstances and result of the late election to be encouraged. The contest

was fought on an issue of principles. The platform of the Conservatives was as clearly defined as was the policy of the Liberals, and the Conservative platform received the approval of a greater majority of the popu- lar vote than returved its authors to power four yeais previously. The principles on which it was constructed are in nowise changed by vhe fact that its chief designer is laid low; they were endorsed by the people in the full knowledge of what they meant to do; they are represented in par- liament by @ majority—a good majority-— of the House of Commons, who have twice this session, on issues specially raised by their opponents t» weaken them, shown that they vere unired and compact and un- breakabie. They are in possession of tle Government, and have as their leaders the ablest men in _ Parliament, The opposition can show no such array of tried capacity as is presented by Sir John Thompson, Mr. Foster, Mr. Chapleau, Sir Hector Langevin, Mr. Abbott, and the rest of their colleogues. The Liberals have lost Mr. Blake, who, going, emote them as they have rarely been smitten by an enemy; and there is none to take his place. What Mr. Laurier’s suavity wins for them emong the populace is more than destroyed by Sir Richard Cartwright’s ascerbity. They are yet clinging to the condemned p anks of their shattered platform of commercial! subjugation to the United States. They have not the slightest ground tor the wild hope that has seized some of their writers. Their weakness is self illustrated in the fact that they speak of getting into power by a coalition with Conservatives whom they hepe to detach from their allegiance. The Conservatives have no need of coalition, They need not to bargain with political mercenaries, They have the power and the prestige of power in their hands. They have to seek no outside aid ; they have but to stand by each other and by their new chief as they did by the old, and the government of the country the people pl:ved in their hands three months ago will ccusinus to be administered on the lines approve: by the electorate ia 1878, 1882, 1887 and 1291. Greater than its greatest man is the aational will, aud in this crisis the Conservatives know they have the national wili behind them. They have but to stand fast and execute it. —_—_———— - oO e--—-—--- Inter-Maritime Shooting.

On the 1l0th at 9 o'clock, the ministerial sermon opened presided over by the Rev W. W. Brewer, Chairman of the District. Devotional ex- ercises were led by the Revs. J. Read and E. Slackford. The roll was called, when 19 answered to their names and the usual ques- tions answered satisfactorily, Two deaths during the year have taken place, the Rev. k. W. Smallwood and the Rev. J. V. Jost.

EK Slackford, of Mouut Stewart, delivered in an earnest style and all present felt good to be there at the closs, The sacrament of the Lord’s Supper was administered to a goodly numer.

Oa the llth the meeting was opened by devotional exercises, the following resolu- tions were passed :

Resoived, That this being the first District over which our chairman haa been placed, and knewirg how onerous and trying are the duties connected with the oflize in so large a district as that of P E Island, this annual dis- trict meeting desires to place upon record its high appreciation of the manner and spirit.in which all those duties have been performed by our chairman, Rev W W Brewer.

Moved by Rev. G. W. Forbes, and seconded by C, W. Hamilton, it was unani- mously adopted by the district meeting, and it was

Resolved, That in view of Mr. Read’s re moval f:om the district, the brethren assembled desire to exp ess tieir high appreciation of the signal services rendered in various ways, and while regretting his departure, trust that the divine blessing nay continue to sigualize his labors in the field to which he is removing.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

Civic Matters.

Sirx,— Getting out on the street the other morning, | was agreeably surprised to find the principai streets watered. As _ there had been no addition of water carts I won- dered; but was soon told that an energetic councillor had volunteered to look after the job, and for one drummer, I think I only voice the expression of the fraternity, who have to tramp these often dusty streets, in thanking Councillor Beer for the improvement. Would not stand pipes on a few of the hydrants expedite the work of watering your streets. I wonder does it ever occur to citizens of Charlottetown how unfair it is to ask men to serve them as a city government for nothing. St. John aldermen get $100 cash per annum, and all they can make, and I venture to say that the present ehuirman of your Street Committee devotes more time to civic bus- iness than some half dozen St. John alder- men who might be named,
