NOTES “AND COMMENTS

—In the Honese of Cornmons a few days ago Hon. Mr. Davies stated that Canada had decided to take part in the noiversal exposition at Paria in 1900 and space has already been asked for.

—The Jubilee sentunent is spreading The Britons in Boston and Buffalo are to eelebrate, and theSCape Colony legislature bas just passed a resolution in favor of contributing to the cost of the British army.

—The Spectator mentions the case of a cestoms entry in Hamilton which shows that whereas, under tne old tariffthe duty on an importation of acetic acid would have been $1.924, under the Fielding tariff wt was $21.12. Some Liberal MW. P. must he interested in a vinegar factory?

—Hon. Mr. Fieldin, in the course of the debate in the House of Comrnons called his tariff a compromi-«. Later on the reason for its being a coun promive came out. A lot of Liberal members thought more of the business of their constituericies than of their party’ principles, and desired pro- tection on special lines’of merchandise, ani they got it.

—M,.C. Cameron, M. P., sometimes called Ananias Cameron, bas appointed his son-in-law postmaster of Goderich. It was deemed a high crime for a Conserva~ tive member of Parliament todo a thing of this sort, and men of the Cameron stamp how!ed loud ‘and long about the matter. But the Grit in power and the Grit out of power are total'y different p>r- sons.

-Jalifax Herald: If subject more than another on

there was one which the

Grits, directly, indirectly, inferentially and every other way, pledged themselves. it was a reduction of the public or yet after these people have bee In power

eleven months, instead of a reduction of expenditure we <find them publishing to the world that they have increased the expenditure On revenne account during that period by $735,000. The Grit promise of economy has been kept in tne usual Grit fashion, and when the end of the year comes —this will appear ata still more striking figure.

—The Mail sand Emryzire’s Winnipeg special says: Your correspondent has been informed that an wnderstanding has been arrived at between Mer. Merry del Val, Mr. Laurier and Mr. Greenway re- garding the future attitude of the Catholic authorities toward the Manitoba school law. While no details can be obtained it is understood that the Catholics will allow all their schools tocome under the school act, but that the law will only be nomin- ally enforced, insistence with its provisions being only required with regard to teachers qualifications and government inspection.

——The Montreal Gazette thinks that the slemand for the estabiishment, or rather for the re-eetablishment, of a mint in Canada, is more sentimental than businese- like in its basis. The Gazette points out that it is not needed as a means of pro- viding the country with silyer coins. for they can be more ‘cheaply made in Great Britain than they could be in this couutry, if a mint had to be built and ma‘ntained for their proluction. It is not yet needed for @ gold coinage, because under ourmonetary system, geld coin is little used in business transactions, and is valuable ebiefly as a reserve, that may be calledon in case of necessity, but that seldom is: and gold gaining nothing in real or nominal value by coinage, ia as good in one shape 48 in another.

—Moncton Transcript (Grit): The fool killer ought to pay an early visit to the Dominion Senate and interview a majority of its membera, The legislation introduc- ed by Sir Oliver Mowat making kinetee- copic exhibitions of priz+ fights a criminal offence was very questionable ia its wis- dom, but the amendment, that a news- paper shall not publish an account of prize fights under an enormous penalty which will be simply ruinous to the average news papers of the country, is one which tends to make liberal legislation ridiculous in tke eyes ofthe world. The duty of & newspaper ja within the bounds of decenev and potite Janguageto present fairly a reccrd of the world’s doings. It is nct an ideal world nor de ideal conditions of life ani actions prevail. To say that because the adminstration of any country is jax enough to allow prize fighting, tbat therefore @ newspaper shall net record such news of the day, is in iteelf ao proposal unbecoming 4 Liberal administration. Why does not Sir Oliver Mowat and his supporters re- enact the whole blue laws of Cornecticut | at once? Itis to be hoped that the Liberal members of the House of Commons will redeem their party from the disgrace of auch pettifogging «fforts, by act of Parl- iament, 4omake the Canadian people good according to the views of people whore age

{

In response to the call of the ther Brauch President, Mr. A P. Prowse, a large body of eleatorx «: embled in the

Hall at High Bank, on Monday evening, Jobe Livingston was Secretary. Mr.A.P. Prowse announved that, having been selected a candidate, he deemed it expedient to resign as Presidént of this Aseceiation. He therefore ee his resigration,

Mr. A.B. McNeill, in 9 few cop {Tment- ary remarks, moved Mr. Murley as Presid- | ent. This w aseeconded by Mr. thoberis and ' unauimously carried. Whereupon Mr. Murley took the chair.

Mr. Prowse, in addressing the meeting. alluded to the absurl 4 inconsistent promires which our Grit representative _made to the people in order to influence _ votes, such as taking the duty off eggs, Cc. He contended that Mr. Peters is tine _ wrong man to control and manage the ' affairs of this Island. Boro, as the saying is,

®

. . . ‘ with a silver spoon in his mouth and never

knowing theneed of n o.ey,be therefore h s no idea of the hardships tbe people undergo Contiauing he said: Mr. Peters is Provincial premier and attorney general, drawing a large eal- ary to guard our affairs. Notwithstanding this he left our province and engaged in more lucrative employment. Their pre- election pledge and promise that if they were put in power they would equalize revenue and expenditure and that taxation day was far distant, they have violaced, and their promises remain uofulfilled. A vast amount of money haa been collected by taxes and still the debt is enormous. In conclusion he expressed the hope taat this extravagant Governm-nt would be replaced by an honest and competent one.

A. McPhee, who next «poke, referred to the government’s negligence in regard to roads, claiming that a _ proportinate share of road money ha® not been expended in our districts. The result is our roads are in a deplorable condition. He hoped the province will ere long be governed by one who can form some conception of their difficulties the farmers experience in their struggie to make both ends meet as the burden has been made more burdensome by the imposition of taxes.

Mr. Jas. McDonald spoke of the shock- ing state of the roads, and in comparing the interest paid by the tory and the grit governments said that the present debt of the pre must be a very heavy one aa the jalan prid by the Peters govern- ment is enormous. :

Mr. Livingston, spe*king of the roads, referred to the speech of J. BH. Bell, M. P. as reported in the papers wherein he (Mr. Bell) said that the most of the road money went to Mr. Peters’ and J. R. Mewean’s districts, and that the other districts were toa large extent ignored. ‘Although,’ contivued Mr. Livingston,‘

oth and nail against the Premier.vet this last session he supported him in his tyran- nical laws, ete.” Proceeding, ston said, “Should we have another term of such mismaragement we shall be forced into union with the other provinces.” He spoke on several subjects of importance concluding with the hope that an honest and competent government will be es- tablished.

Mr. McNeil! referred to the very repre- sentative convention heli in Glen William and complimented Mr. Prowse on the unanimors errant ¢) was given him thereat. 1. r-ter uce to the gtatement that “when Sir. Peters doings shall be exposed” he said he thought they «ould never be all found out until the day in which the dead shall arise. In conclusion he hoped the Conservative party would unitedly strive to establish a pure government and be ready when the time comes to make their election sure.

Mr. Murley thanked the meeting for the honor conferred on him in electing him as President, stating that he would endea- vor to diligently discharge his duties as and further the cause. In hie speech he ably dealt with the provincial finances. He called attention to Mr. Peters last budget speech wherein he declared the debt of the province to be $393,825.96. He then consulted the Government’s blue books from which he read the report of the grit parliamentary committee appoint- ed to examine and report on the debt of the province. They reported that they found the actual indebtness at the end of the financial year ending December 3lst, 1890, exceeded $170,000.00 say $171 ,006,— 00. This report, said he, was voted a: an actualand correct report by Hor. Mr. Petera and al! the grit members. He thea

Now, said he, these are their deficits as shown ty their ewn books which when

Their own figures covtradict and condemn :

them. He then quoted the interest paid bv the two governments, The interes:

which the Conservatives paid the last year they were in power was,— {ot paid banks. ... . + secessees+eee+e 2,097.44 [nt paid on land purchase money 497.24 $3,194.68 Under grit rule the interest paid the banks in 1896 was $15,441 18 with from $500 to $7000 due on Joans not included herein making a total of over $20,000.00. Now if, as Mr. Peters said the Province then under Conservativ:) rule was going to ruin when the interest paid amounted to $3,194.68, where can the gProvince be to- day when, after collecting $138,900.00 by taxes, we pay from $20,010.00 to $22,000 uader the present Grit ru'e? In reference to the Liberal victories won in the other provinces, he said: Be not discouraged. Iu 1874 the Conservatives suftered defeat and and the Grits were putin; theirterm in office only lasted 5 years, when they were again defeated und have been kept out for eizh- teen years jbut concluded Mr. Murley, tine day of reaction will come when truth will reign supreme, deception must hideits miserable head and victury shall be oure.
