THE RECORD.

Tue Parriot says that “the Govern- meat will go to the country on its record,” Why, then, does it (the Guverniment’s mouthpiece) strive to get away upon a falsified record of the Sullivan Govern- ment? It is not the record of the Sullivan Government that the electors of this Pro- vince are now called uponto try. The Sullivan Government was tried and con- demned on the representation of Messrs. Peters, Warburton, Farquharson and others that it was extravagant aod corrupt, wnd that they, if given the chance, would @ much better—would reduce expendi- tures, would make ends meetand keep down the debt. It is the »resent (Peters) Government thatthe el.cir+ of Prince Edward Island are now to tr». Let us then, get back to their record. Here is the Peters record of expenditures etc.,a3 per the official report :

There are some other points in the Record by which the preeent administra- tion will be tried and on which the Patriot declares that the Government “will be returned to power.” Well, it’s the people’s business !

ESTEEMED EXCHANGES.

Montreal Gazette: Mr. Mulock started his administration of the Post Office de- partment by announcing the discovery of such evidences of scandalous Conserative extravangance that, by correcting it be was to save tens of thousand of doilars yearly, and sodo much to wipe out the annual deficits the service involved. Mr. Mulock has been postmaster-general for nearly a year now, and, by the aid of two Toronto accountants, it has been dis- eovered that, owingto what happened under the wicked Tories in 1895-96, his good Grit administration in 1896-97 will have a bigger deficit than before. Mr. Mulock begam as a blowhard, and is end- mg asa humbug. The free way in which %e hae dismissed Tory postmasters shows that he has no respect for what his predecessors did, unless it suits his politi-

ea! purposes.

Important Changes to be Made in the Interios of the Building,

An important business meeting of the congregation of the First Methodist church was held Jastevening. A’ (wis meeting the couymittee appointed a few weeks ago to prepare plans and estimates for the renovation of the interior submitted their report. They selected the plan prepared by Mr. Harris. The alterations, it may be mentioned, include a new groin ceiling to be finished in spruce, besides a general renovation Of the interior, and colored glass windows. ‘The organ, choir gallery and pulpit will be lowered so tha positions of the minister and the choir wii!

be on about the same level. The ends will be changed from rectangular to circular form. The desien of the windows

has not yet been selecteu.

The estimated cost of these improve- ments is $3,500, of which amount the ladies have voluvteered to raise $1,000, being the cost of the windows. = The fol- lowing committee was appointed to collect the remaining $2,500: Messra. B. Rogers, L. M. Poole, L. L. Beer, Dr. Taylor and W W. Beer. A building comwittee was also appointed consisting of Messrs L. M. Poole, Mark Wright, W. W. Beer and Henry Smith.

When completed the congregation are confident that the First Methodist Church will rank with the very finest in the Dom- inion. The plans of the proposed changes will be on exhibition at Messrs. Mark Wright & Co's, show, rooms on and after Saturday next.

It ia a great country;a country with a future. There isa fine, hard bracing climate; the climate that puts iron and grit into men’s bones, and there” are all good things to be got out of the ground, if people will work for them. What it wants is more men and more money. Why don’t Englishmen think more of it asa field for English capital and enterprise? Surely there is anexcellent opening both for the investing and the emigrating Briton there. Things dont perhaps move quite so fest as in the States, but they are safer, and you are under the flag you know,and among men of the same tlock and breed. Send your folks to Canada; and if they can’t go themselves, let them send their money —plenty of it—Radyard Kipling on Caa- ada in St James Gazette, Loodon.

SHAKLL We FORGIVE HER?

The audience which attended the open- ing performance by the Harkins Company last evening wax a very gooa one. But it was not so large as was expected nor was it anything like what the compary deserv- et. The play uresented was the domestic comeds -drama, “Shall we Forgive Her?” The play was written by Frauk Harvey, a noted Kayglish playwright, and it was iaterpreted by Mr. Harkins’ ciever com- pany in a manner that left nothing to be desired, The stury of the play deals with life in England and Australia, It opens in Queenaland where Nei! Garth has refused to keep b's promise and marry the woman who has come from England to he united to her affianced busband. Garth had fallen among evil companions and wae far from being the man he had been in England. The poor girl (Grace) makes every effurt to have him right the wrong he has done. but all to no purpose. Far from friends she is compelled to ac- cept the inevitable and becomes known to the peeple about her a8 Mrs Garth— though they do not know tbe truth. After a narrow escape from death at the hands of a.meb led by Garth she makes her way back to England and becomes the wife of Oliver West, without telling him of her past life. Later on Garth also returns to England, and the unfortunate girl is compelled to give bim money so that he will not betray her. Grace has an enemy in, the peraon of the house- keeper, who overhears a conversation be- tween Garth and herself, and who is anxious to have her driven out in order that she (the housekeeper) may be reinstated as director of the householi, which place she held prior to the marriage of West. West is threatened with blindness, and the doctors tell him that any great shock will prove fatal to his sight. The house- keeper tells West of the conversation she overheard, and he, in a scene of great intensity, denounces his wife and drives her away. The s.0ck has made him blind, but he recovers bis sight some months Jater through the efforts of a fameus eculist, Jearos the true siory of his wife's former life, and after a battle be- tween love and pride, love conquers, he forgives his wife and everything ends satisfactorily. The comedy element in the play is supplied by a pair of youthful lovers. ‘The acting of Mise White as “Grace” was very powerful; anda faithful interpretation of the old maid housekeeper was given by Miss Mamie Ryar. Mr. Bruce McRae, as Oliver West, was also good. Indeed, there was nota weak character in the cast, so itis perbaps unfair to particularize. To-night “Brother for Brother,” another very powerful play, will be put upon the boards, and a full house may be expected after laet night’s excellent performance. To-morrow sfter- poon there will be a matinee, when the “New Bov” will be presented. Inthe evening “The Bowery Girl” will be the bill of fare. It ia hoped that full houses will greet Mr. Harkins and his players during the rest of their season, as the compapy is a splendid one in every respect.
