present Government.” It is his duty todo

so; and the Patriot ought to he glad of the |

Admitting, for the sake of comparison, that the Patriot’s arraignment of the Sullivan Administration is true, 1t is also true that Mr. Peters and his par- tisans heaped up a heavier load of debt, and taxes in six years than the Sullivan Goverement did in years; and while th: Sullivan Government obtained from the Bominion Government, to meet their debt, a grant of $20,000 a year, representing a capital sum of $500,000.00, the Peters Government has done nothing of the kind. Shall it, thea, be said that the people of Prince Edward Island, who con- demned the Sullivan Government, will reward the Peters Government by giving them another vote of confidence‘ and a

new lease of power? We trow not. Mr. Gordon’s arraignment of Mr. Peter’s and his partizans, now in

trial before the people, is indeed over- whelming. The Leader of the Opposition says:

“ They promised to greatly reduce the public expenditure. They have largely increased it.

“In the strongest language they con- demned a provincialdebt. In five years they have added over a quarter of a million of dollars to our debt.

“They solemnly professed that they could manage our affairs without taxation. In three years they have taken from the people over one hundred and thirty-eight thousand dollars in taxes.

“They protested against the practice of borrowing money atthe banks. There has scarcely been a year since they attained power, thatthe Province has not owed very large amounts to one or more of the banks.

“They pledged themselves not to impose taxation without consulting the people. No sooner was the promise made than it was faithlessly broken by the introduction and passage into law of four separate tax acts.

“They seriously engaged, in 1891, to devote about 15,000 dollars of the money to be raised by debentures to the repair of the Provincial building. his has not been done. The building has received no repairs.

“They loudly proclaimed, in opposition, that there was no necessity for a Commis— sioner of Public Lands. That official stil! exists, although they have been in power for over six years.

‘** Theydenounced, with one voice, P ro

There has not heena} their admivistration that there hae not been a large deficit, —their deficits aggregate over $255,000, and if the taxes thev collected be added, the as- tounding result of over $393,000 will be reached.”

The people know that they are true. If they are true, surely Mr. Peters and his partizans Ought to be routed out of offiee.

Instead of defending Mr. Peters and his partizans, the Patriot proceeds to criticise the “ platform ” of the Liberal Conserva- tive Party asset forth by its respected leader. The Patriot declares that the promises contained in it are “ very indefi- nite and unsatisfactory.”

Gordon says:

Let us eee. Mr.

“ The Provincial executive will be re- duced from nine to seven.”

Is there anytking indefinite in this pro mise? Is it not, rather, as positive as it is possible to make it ?

Lands will be abolished and the duties assigned to the Attorney General.”

This promise is clear enough, and it can be “ unsatisfactory * to those who have @ personal interestin maintaining the Land Office with its expenditures,

“ The present ferry system will be re— formed with a view to greater economy of expenditure without diminishing efficiency of accommodation.

“A reform in the administration of the Surrogate and Probate court will be effected.

“A radical change, will be made in the administration of the Public Works department, so that the mouey now wasted can be saved tothe Province.

“The present system of taxation will be so changed that it will operate with even- hauded justice, and not bear oppressively and unfairly on any class of taxpayers.

“Economy will be practised in every de- partment, and taxation will be kept down to the lowest possible limit.

“The efficiency of the Public Service will | fo. . : a oe r ,.; United States warship

be maintained, and revenue and expendi- | land during t) ant uring the

ture will be made to equare as nearly as possible.

“No further increase ot the public debt will be permitted.

‘There will be considerable reductions in the expenditure of the public money, and the resources of the Province will be safe- guarded and husbanded by every legitimate means that can be devised.”

Who isthere among us that cannot understand, at a glance, each and all of these promises? It would be difficult, we believe impossible, within the limits of a card to the electors to set forth the planks of a political platform more definitely or plainly. If Mr. Peters had not cast the glamour of his influence over the Patriot, it would not, we feel sure, be constrained to say that the promises of the Leader of the Opposition are either “indefinite” or “ unsatisfactory.” We believe that these promises will be highly satisfactory to a people who see the necessity for reforin along the lines indicated, and who know that the Hon. Daniel Gordon isa man ef his word.

PARLIAMENT PROROGUED.

Tue proceedings of the Parliament pro- rogued last evening cannot possibly be pleasing to the people of Canada, as a whole. Those who are free traders must be pained to know that notwithstanding their long continued support of the Liberal party, the main body of the Protective system, which they denounce, has been retained. Those who support the protec- tive policy cannot but be annoyed because the tariff cnanges that have been made are more or less destructive of the particular industries Those who use tobacco are sad every time they have to pay to the Government twe cents addition- al per fig.

Those who were led to expect that a stop would be put to the increase of the public debt cannot but be filled with alarm when they know that the Finance Minister has obtain- ed from Parliament authority to borrow in the money markets of Great Britain no less than $28,000,000!

The taxpayers want a rest. But the Government has deliberate- ly set about adding to their burdens. The last session of Parliament is a disappoint- ment and a failure. An army of Liberal “commissioners ” is abroad at the public expense. The soup ladles are in the hands of Mr. Tarte and his active followers.

OBITUARY.

Mrs. Ann Maskell, widow of the laté Wim. Maskell died at her residence, 301 Broadway, Cambridge,on Friday,June 18, She had beea confined to her bed for ten months as the result of a severe attack of la grippe. The funeral took place on Sunday June 20th and was attended by a large number of friends of the deceased. Tie officiating ministers were Kev. Mr. Phinney, pastor of Grece Methodist church, of which Mrs. Maskell was a member, and Rev. Mr. Shaw. The de- ceased was a daughter of Mr. James Proctor, of Cariboo Cove, C. B., and was born there in 1822. After her marriage her husband removed to Souris P. E. I. where they lived for many years. For some years past deceased has resided in Cambridge, Mass. She leaves a family of three sons and three daughters.

Summerside Journal: Hon. Premier Peters has brought on the election while the honors of the Behring Sea Commission still cling to him like the fragrance to the crusbed rose, and while freeh from Ottawa with all sorts of shadowy and indefinite promises of great things ia store for Prince Edward Island. We bardly think, how- ever, that he can dazale the electors with any such filmy political material, or lead them any longer as he has done in the past with the unsubstantial hope of something to be accomplished for this province. All he has ever vet done for Prince Edward Island is to plunge the province deeper and deeper into debt, while at the same time piling up taxation on almost everything taxable, and yet failing to make ends meet. Surely the taxpayers are tired of such a policy, and will entrust the management of provincial affairs to more capable hands, to men who will raise the province out of the slough of debt and taxation into which it has been plunged by the recklessness, extravagance and mismanagement of the Peters administration.
