JOHN W- MORRISON, ESQUIRE,

Avyorner aged and venerable resident of Charlottetown bas passed away. Afiera few weeks illness, during which the pre- vailing influenza developed into pneumo mia, John W. Morrisons, E-quire, of the Public Works Department gave up the earthly struggle at noon yesterday, and passed beyond Mr. Morrison was a native of La Have, Nova Scotia, and has reached his seventy--eventh, year. The fact that, although a pronounced Con- servative throughout his long career, he contioued an official of the Government of Prince Edward Island for about 40 yeare,in every successive administration, is a con- vincing proof, if proof were needed, of his personal worth and integrity. He served the Province faithfully and well until a few weeks ago, and he leaves a clear and clean record in the books of his office. He was, until his death, one of the two oldest members of St. James’ congregation aud the first superin endeot of the Sunday School in connection with it. For upwards of sixty years he had been a member of the Masouic fraternity of which he was a Past Grand Master, and for about fifty years he had been connected with the order of the Sons of Temperance. During many years he was also a leading member of the Caledonian Society of this Province; aod was for along period the honored Treas- urer of that Society and of the British ard Foreigao Bible Society. In early life he mar ried Miss Thresher, » daughter of the late George Thresher, E-q., who was at one time Assistant Colonial Secretary, and he brought up a large family in the way they should go. Besides his aged and bereaved widow he leaves three sons and three daughters to mourn their loss. Of the former are William B. Morrison, st one time City Clerk of Charlottetown, now re- siding at Grand Rapids, Michigan, Mr. C. I. Morrison, of this city, and Mr. A. E Morrison of the Charlottetown. telegraph office. Of the latter are Mra. McNeish, Montreal; Mrs. Cathrae, Chicago, and Mrs. Devine, of Anaconda, Montana. We sin- cerely sympathise with the bereaved ones. But they “sorrow not as those without hope ;” for “the path of the just is as the shining light which shineth more and more unto the perfect day.”

oro DISSATISFIED LIBERALS.

Tue Daily Telegraph of Quebec, an in- tensely Liberal journal, is not satisfied with the justice meted to that Province by the Laurier Administration, It says:

“‘We do not know who to blame for the actual situation, but what we do know positively is that there is a painful uneer- tainty about the attitude and intentions of the Laurier Government towards Quebec which is giving riee to the greatest suspi- cion and discontent and which cannot be allowed to continue much longer withou! seriously endangering the great local popu- larity of the Prime Minister and his col- leagues from this section of the country.

The Telegraph says further that,—

* The local mind has been thrown into auch a ‘state of confusion by statements and appsrent contradictions, both emanat- ing from Ministerial sources in and out of Parliament, that its faith in the good intentions of the Government towards Quebec has been very dasgerously shaken, and the ground prepared for the seeds of discontent and distrust which the Conser vative press are all the time so ready to scatter broadcast,”

So it appears that the “ Masters of the Administration” are working up to such @ state of discontent with the chameleon- like tactics of the Government that they are getting ready tostrike. From New Brunewick,also,the news is that the admin- istration of the Gcvernment is very displeasing to leading Liberals. It is even reported that Mr. Hawke, of the Tran- script, is so disgusted that be has gone off toUttawa to makea personal representation

Senator Oziivie said that he had been in- formed, and believed, that the order passed by the House of Commons was not enforc- ed, and that the members of that House could obtain what they wanted on their own side, without coming near the Senate. Senator Macdonald (B.C.) said that the reason why the door of communication between the basemeuts of the Senace end the House of Commons because the same caterer served both diuing-rooms. He presumed that as soon as the restaurant committee was appointed the whole matter would be inquired into. However this may be, the result of prohi- bition in one,or two or three provinces, and not in the others, would certainly be simi- lar to that which has occurred on a smaller scale io the case of their representatives at the Capital. Liquor would be obtained in the non-prohibition Provinces for illicit use in the Prohibition Provinces. If we are to have effective Prohibition it must extend througbout the length and breadth of the

wide dominion. TE ©

was open was

—The Moovtreal Stars’ fund for the India tamine food bas reached $52,000.

—The New York Herald’s Washington correspondent says: There is grave danger of a commercial warfare between the United States and several of the most im- portant commercial nations of Europe in the event of the enactment of the Dingley Bill into law in substantially the same form in which it passed the House. The German Ambassador, the Italian Ambas— eador aod the Minister from tbe Nether- lands to the United States, acting under instructions from their governments have tiled protests against the proposed legis dation with thé Secretary of State, and these protests have been forwarded by Secretary Sherman to the Senate com- mittee cf Finance. These protests, while couched in diplomatic language, plainly call attention to the effect the proposed till would have on the countries concerned in the event of its passage. That of Herr Von Thielmann, the German Ambassador, is particularly forcible, amounting almost to a direct threat of retaliation by the Ger- mao Government against tne United States. The Senate Committee having been put in possession of the information containing in these communications, must decide whether the policy should be pursu- ed which promises to lead to grave foreign com plications.

Teacuers’ Institur2.—A very interesting meeting of the Charlottetown Teachers’ in- stitute was held Saturday eveningin Queen Square Schoo]. After the usual half hour in diecussing the contents of the question box, Mr. Cotton read a practical and in- structive paper on “Education out of School.”. Quite an animated discussion arose over it by Messrs. Mc- Swain and Seaman, of the city schools, Mr. McCready, of the Guardian, Mr. Percy Pope and others. Mr. Cotton was tender- eda vote of thanks coupled with the request that the paper be published in ‘Tue Examiner in the near future.

ESTEEMED EXCHANGES

Montreal Gazette: The majority of the Champlain electors still think the Bishop of Three Rivers 1s as good a Catholic as Mr. Tarte.

Mail and Finpire : It is to be hoped that Mr. Tarte will uot atiempt to apply the “business is business” prncip'e to Mgr. Merry de] Val.

Moutreal Gazett«: One L beral journalist,

afier anvnounceng that the Pope’s ablegate had ap interview with Messrs, Laurier and Tarte, declares that ‘he understands now that be has not been brought here to con-

sulton the Manitoba «clhool controversy, but on the qnestion of electoral freedom and the emancipation of tue habitant from control of the clergy in matters political.” [t would seem, therefore, that the Liberal chiefe not only brought the ablegate here. but are giving him instruction a< to ™ bat he is to do. They have eupersed:! the !’ope ard the councils of the Vatiexn. Thev are truly great men, in their sycuphaut. eyes.

North Sy!ney Herald: The chickens hatched out by the Liberal party to upset the Conservative govérnment at Ottawa are coming home to roost for the Liberal government of Nova Scotia. For years one of the leading arguments of the Liber- al party was that the government at Otta- wa had been too long in power, and as a consequence had become corrupt. The same thing applies with equal force to the present administration at Halifax, The public debt was another bobby. Our local Liberal leaders should trv to show that a public debt is not such a bad thing atall. The Liberals are now eating an awful dish of crow.

Mail and Empire: Mr. McKinzie once resented the insinuation that he had given information relative to tariff changes in advance of action. He was rightin de- endivg bimself against euch a charge, It

is highly improper for a Minister to |

whisper to a friend a pointer touching & coming tariff, and thus to enable the friend to make a haul. But what moral differ- ence is there between “tipping a wink” to a business friend in order to fiil his pockets or to swell his bank account, and hintiog. whether truthfully or not, at the same thing toa province for the purpose of helping a political friend in the matter of votes ? a se
