Ten Suffi:ient Reasons Why tho Government Should be Sustained.

BL 1. It is admitted by both parties that the present Government have been eco- nomical.

2. If they are not sustained there will no inducement to practice economy.

3. The Government have encouraged agriculture as no previous Governmet ever did.

4. it they are net sustained, the elect- ors will show that they do not care to have agriculture encouraged.

5. It is part of the Governmont Policy to reduce the Legislature.

6. If they are not sustained, taxpayers will show that they are quite willing to bear the preseat unnecessarily large ex- pense of legisiation. vs

7. Itis desirable to p-osecute diligently our claim to a share of the Fishery Award.

8. If the present Government are not sustained, the men who renounced that claim iv 1873 will get into power; and every chance of obtaining it will be goue forever.

9. It is desirable that there should be no taXes to pay . 10. If the Government are not sus- tained, the first act of their epponents must be, on their own showing, to re enact the Assessment Act, which they say should never have been repealed.

The “Taxationists” and the Fishery Award.

Tue Patriot has challenged Tue Examr- Nek to prove that Messrs. Haythorne, Laicd, Sinclair, Stewart, Beer and their Party renounced the Islend’s claim to a share of the Fishery Award.

The proof is contained in the ‘Journals of the House of Assembly for 1873” where the *‘ Terms” made by Haythorne and Laird, and accepted by their Government and Party, are set forth at length.

That they were fully alive to the import- ance of securing for the Island a share of tie Fishery Award, and that they bronght the matter to the notice of the Dominion Government is shown by the fact thit when setting out for Ottawa to make the Terms, Messrs. Haythorne and Laird weve in- structed to ask the Dom)nion Govern- meut to-~—

‘* Allow the Prince Edward Island Local Government to retain any sum which may be awarded by the Fish-ry Commission under the Washington Treaty, as an equivalent for surrenderivg the Fisheries of the Colony.”

That the matter was discussed, and de- cided by the delegates and the Dowinion Government, is shown by the following ex- tract from a telegrain sent from Ottawa by Messrs. Haythorne and Laird to their Gov- ernment iv this Island :—

‘FISHERIES SAME AS OTHER PROVINCES IF NoT SETTLED BEFORE Union,” HAYTHOKNE, Latrp.

That this arrangement, argument, stipu- lation, understanding, bargain--call it what you hke-—-under which the distinctive claim of the Island to a share of the Fishery Award was renounced and asur- rendered, was accepted and ratified by

Beer,

SINchalR,

STEWART,

Davis, and their party, is evident, from the fact that they appealed to the country upon those ‘‘ Terms.”

These, then, are the men who now seek election to the Local Legislature and to the Deminion House of Commons, in order, forsooth, that the Island may secure its share of the Fishery Award !

That the terms they made were not ac- cepted or ratified by the people of this Island does not change the position in which they stand regarding the Island’. share of the Fishery Award, or remove their absolute disqualttication as men and ae partizans for the work of secrring the Island's claim in respect to it. For their terms were rejected in spite of them; and twenty-six thousand dollars a year, for all time, together with the righ: to prosecute a claim for a fair share of the Fishery Award, Were secured in spite of their utmost effort.

Not Surprised.

“reer,

Tue Patriot, a few days ago, stigmatized Tue Examinex’s denial of its statement that the report of the Secretary of the School Board of Charlottetown was fa'sified for the purpose of adding the expenditure of the Model School to that of the City Schools as “an atrocious lie.” But Jast night the Patriot inserted, without note or comment, a letter from the Superintendent of Education, in which it is stated that: ‘* No alteration whatever has been made in the reports of the Charlottetown School Board for the purpose you mention, or for any other purpose.’’ We shonid have been agreeably surprised had the Patriot with- drawn its insulting expression, and apolo- gized to Taz Examiner; and we are not disappointel that it has not done so Nor do we feel injured because the Patriot says that Tue Examiner has “an end to gin, and no reputation to lose.” Like Jago the Patriot ‘is nothing, if not critical.”

; The late Government closed their ac- counts of the year 1878, early in December. so that as much of the expenditure o£ that year as possible might bs kept ‘‘ out” of them and ‘‘ carried over.” The present Government kept their accounts of the past year open until late in January of the present year, in order that all the expendi- tures of the past year might, as far as Possible, be included “in” the accounts of the past year,

The Expenditure to 31st December, 155], was $261.275.51, being $14,004.53 less than the Keceipts.

The sum of $4,436.78, refunded by the Do minion Government, we deduct from the Re- ceipts. This leaves the ordinary receipts for the year at $270,943.56. We also tind that the ‘following sums were expended as ex- traordinary, viz .--

‘Which sum, dedvcted from the FPxpendi- | ture, reduces the amount to $245,197 17, o1 $22,846.29 less than the ordinary receipts.

‘* The balauce on hand at the close of year, on Debt Account, was $793,274.12.

“Of the sum of $890.0U0, granted under the terms of confederation for the purchase of Proprietor’s Estates, there is still a balance of $57,436. 33. |

‘The cost of Education fer the school year | was $96,489 46, being an increase of $275.65 over that of 1830,

** Tae Accounts relating to the Crown and Public Lands Department show that 23,175 acres were sold for §$32,1$657 during the past year.

The total amount received at the office was $64,831 75. The lands still unsold amount to 149.855 acres; and the baiances due by purch sers make up an aggregate sum of $507,671.71.

**The Department of Public Works paid out, during the year I8SI, a total sum of $95,950.89 and on December 3!et contracts ameuntiny to $2,401.57 were unfinished

“The claims against the Government for unpaid aud unfurnished accounts at the close of 1881 are estimated to be $6,449.47.”

By thia statement it will be seen that there were good and sufficient grounds for the repeal of ‘‘ the Assessment Act, 1877.”

HON, MR. CAMPBELL

threw some heavy shot into the camp of the taxaiionists. Mr. Campbell dealt in

facts.

MR. cC. SHAW

made some racy references to Mr. Fargn- harson’s canvass, which consists, to a great extent, in referring to the franchise voters of Charlottetown as *‘ wharf rats,” *‘ hood lums” and street arabs.”

BE THERE,

A.

The feeling at the nomination was—as it is all over the Province—largely in favor of economical Government, and strongly against taxationists. But taxpayers must, nevertheless,watch, work, and be early at the polls if they want towin. The “ taxation ists” will be there vo doubt, for they have a live interest at stake. Let the taxpayers beware—for the money comes out of their p -ckets—and be there too.

Every little capital has its focus of ar- tistic rays spreading a genial and enthus- isetic influence on its surroundings Thoughtful, critical reading, stimulates tae desire for elocutionary development, and tends to promote a true standard of literary taste. An intelligent and sympathetic inter- pretation of first-class music trains the ear a :d forms the taste of the listener. Rhythm, forr,°nd time, become fixed in the mind of the hearer until at last they form the cultt- vied ear. Thus it happens that concert after concert finds the audiences growing in size, and becoming more exacting, critical, and appreciative. No entertainment can new be a success unless a first-class pro- grame is off red, because our concerts are developing the tas‘e of the entire commun- ity who care for musie¢ at all. The concert last evening was characterized by a bril liancy and variety possible only where diverse talents unite to bind themselves into one harmonious whole. . The readings were decidedly above the average. Mr. Full threw some life into his selection, and rxeivad a good reception. A selection from Lonyfellow’s ‘*Courtzhip of Miles Standish” formed the popular reading by Miss Barr, and this was enthusiastically received by

the andience. Mr. George Peake's r.ading was very effective, and this

g ntieman, like a true orator, fully pro- duced the effect he intended to pro luce. The pathetic stery told by Miss Ellen Lawson was doleful, yet delizhtful, and was read in her well-known talented man- ner. The orchestra rendered the ‘* Leval d Amour” with much firmness and accur- acy. The base viol and the second violins mide their work prominent, aud the flaut- ist gave some clear rippling passages. The qnartette, pleyed by the orchestra, was sweetly melodious and rich in its harmony. We are sorry to say that its effect wos marred by a slight discrepancy in regard to tune Mr. Vinnicombe played a Scottish

It was most fitting that Mr. W. D Stewart should he the first to speak to th *‘independent electors of Queen's County ;’ for, if elected, he is to be Leader of the Opposition, and he is now, doubtless, ex- ulting in the thought that be will suppian: the ‘* teo-careful Sullivan” in the leader- ship of the Government. In the course of his speech, Mr. Stewart said that he had ‘*had a very comfortable canvass, and ex- pected that he and his party would get in.’ This statement shows that the present is not, a¥ alleged, ‘* the worst time of the whole year for an election contest,’ and that the supporters of the Opposition, at allevents, are up and ready for the fight.

DRAW, BUT DRAW SLOWLY.

Mr. Stewart’s comparison of his own management of the Public Works’ Office, with that of bis successor, irresistibly cal!s to mind the following letter :—

lst November, }*78.

Sin,—Youre of yesterday at hand. Mr Kilbride wust draw for wo:k let and entered upon, although it would be well to carry as much as posssib‘e forwerd,*

The receipts are very slow this autumn, which necessitates caution. You will be pleased to see Mr. Kilbride and te!l him to draw for the contracts, but to do so slowly,

Yours, &c., W. D. Srewarrt, To James W. Ricwarps.

* The amount carried forward was about $52,000 ! and this added to the $21,000, which the Davies-Stewart Administration admitted to be their deficit of the year 1878, makes up the indebtedness of $74,000, which the present Government had to grapple with.

ANOTHER LETTER.

Here is the circular letter of warning, Which was sent, (in October, we think), ly ithe order of Mr. W. D. Stewart, Commis- ‘sioner of Public Works, to all his Super- visors :—

To Alexander McKay, Supervisor, (and thirty- four others :)

Srr,—I am instructed by the Commiasioner of Public Works to inform you that your ac- count is overdrawn, and that you are not to (raw during the balance of the present year, and facther orders, without notice from this department. You will please attend to the above as nofurther orders will be paid.

lam, your obdt. servant, Joun W. Morrisoy, Secretary.

HON. MR. FERGUSON SPEAKS,

Hon. Mr. Fercuson delivered a ringing speech ~ the speech of the day. He showed how the Gcvernment, in the face of many dificulties—the $73.000 legacy—the large extraordinary expenditure necessarily in- curred in repairing the damages of the great storm of 1879—the increased expr n¢i- ture for education amounting to about $30 - 000 a year—the completion of the Asylum —the building of the Stuck Farm Build- ings — have successfully carried on the public business and rolled up a balance to the credit of the Province of $12,000!! and have been able to repeal the Assess- ment Act!!!

Hen, Mr. Ferguson caused a roar of laughter by his sarcastic reference to the

burton, (unselfish souls), to Marshfield, to do him honor, and to look after the roads vf Little Yerk. There was, it must be confessed, a good deal of humor in the situation.

SAVING IN LEGISLATION,

Hon. Mr. Ferguson showed that the saving effected by the present Government in the cost of Legislation alone amounts to about $10,000 a year. How is that for Hyndman ?

SINCLAIR AND TAXATION. Mr. Sinelair, one of the taxationist

ait for his violin solo, and when encored, responded with ‘*‘ Home, Sweet Home.” He performed in his happy, finished style and gave us some variations on the airs notab'e for their richness, diffienlty and variety. We missed the pianoferte ac compsniment to the orchestra, and to the

vivir. The choruses of the Glee Club wire rendere' with that precision, vigour, 1d swing which have established the claim of the Club to a well deserved popularity. Both Mr. Earle and _ his chorus deserve the best thanks of all true lovers of music for ihe

trouble that is taken in the preparation ot these o; eratié choruses. We hope that we m y 8 me day hear a complete operetta from the club. The eacred double quar- te‘te was a pleasing composition carefuily practicea; but we have more than once noticed that a single sacred selection is apt to be incongruous in an crdinary pro- gramme, and, consequently, is not folly appreciated. Our opinion is that sacred music should be relegated to a sacred con- cert, or, at least, to a part of the pro- gramaie entirely devoted to sacred compo- sitions. ‘* Robinson Crusoe’s experience ” was lively and entertaining, the sopranos doing their parts admirably, while the soprano-less contingent added some weight and dignity to the cherus. The boys fully merited the encore; but the amusingcut-and- dric d election squib betrayed the ranxiety ‘or the recall, The boys had been well coached, and were well sustained by their accom- panist, Miss Ella Palmer. We take the liberty of hinting to the soprano less lads, that the injudicious exercise of the lad’s voice, during the period of physiological change, will, undoubtedly, spoil the man’s

voice. When the _ boy’s voice has changed, it should rest from ac- tive vocal exercise until he has

attained his full height. Messrs. Reid and Maynard sang ‘* All’s well” much to the delight of the audience who called for, and were favoured with, an encore. The quiet, Inlling refrain of ‘‘Good Night,” was a sound worth hearing from the sweet voice of Mrs. M. Mcleod. Miss K. Hensley sang in a gentle, winsome way, ‘The Miller and the Maid;” a vein of humour ran through the song, and this was ably interpreted by the songster, An encore was londly called for, and Miss K. Hensley responded by singing a chavining iy'tle ballad of the class afore-mentioned. Miss Knight’s song was a delightful com- position of some difficulty, and giving a scope for the exhibition of careful study. We are glad to note the steady improve ment of the young lady’s voice, and also the growing ease with which she sings her songs. The encore accorded to her was an instance of the critical improvement obser- vable in the audience. ‘* When the tide comes in” was one of those puetic and picturerque compositions for which our audiences have to thank Miss Minnie Palmer. It was sung with all that artless art and passionate expression so skilfully employed by Miss Palmer, ard which place her songs and her singing among the lead- ing features of any Concert. The pro-

gramme was altogether too long, and could

not,be completely carried out. Consequently

ee the disadvantage of the encore system was visit of Mesers. Laird, Peters and War-|; wie. ,

felt in its fuiness last evening. The Com- mittee should try to discover who the boys are whose brains seem to be in their heels,

and studiously exclude them from future concerts,
