MARCH 28, 1379.

The Patriot and Mr. DeBlois.

A Daily Patriot came again into exist- ence on Thursday, the 27th of March, in- stant, for the purpose, it would seem, of ‘* squelching ”-—if abuse will do so—the so- called ‘* political nonentity,” Mr. DeBlois. We doubt not that the gentleman named, will continue to pursue the even tenor of his way in spite of the virulence of the risen Daily, or the garbled and untruthful statements Which are sure to flow from the malignant brains of those who conduct it.

There is not a leading Conservative in the Dominion whose character the Patrio people have net striven to blacken and destroy by every foul and unfair means they could devise. It would, therefore, be wonderful indeed, if a novice in public life who, by independent action and Conser- vative spirit, has offended them should escape their ire and their slanders.

The first slander they could think of is contained in the following words :—

‘*Who is George Wastie DeBlois that he should read out Robert Longworth, Archibald Kennedy, L. C. Gwen, Thomas Morris and other older and abler Liberal-Conservatives than himself?” etc., ete.

Now, we ask, where did Mr. DeBlois “read out” the above named gentlemen ? Not certainly at any public meeting within our hearing. If those gentlemen have ALi connected themselves with the Grits of Charlottetown, Common and Royalty, at the present crisis, we are, indeed, sorry for it, as they cannot surely be so blind as Not to see that the whole drift of the Davies faction is to gain this Conservative con stituency wholly and solely for their own private ends and for Grit party purposes.

To the unbiassed mind of any thinking man it must be apparent as day that the Grits of the late Government, and they alone, introduced Dominion politics into that Government, so that if the gentlemen named above regret the breaking up of what was termed the ‘‘ Free School Gov- ernment” and believe that the introduc tion of Dominion party politics was the cause of it, they should most certainly lay the blame at the door of Gritism; and, therefore, at once array themselves on the side of their Conservative friends who left honors and emolument rather than submit longer to Grit dictation. Their work foy the party who called that Government into being was performed. The Free School Act had been accepted by the entire popu- lation, not because as a whole people they entirely approved of it, but because it was the will of a constitutional majority, to which will, as true and loyal subjects of one of the freest Empires in the world, they bowed.

We say then let every Liberal-Conversa. tive in this truly Liberal-Conservative con- stituency rally around the men who are not merely dealing a blow at Gritism, but are striving with all their energy to repair the breach between Protestant and Catholic, which the Daily Patriot, at least, seems

anxious to widen. ———~-— p> — -— ----

Kensington Meeting.

A GENTLEMAN who was at the meeting held in Kensington last night reports that the meeting was most enthusiastic in sup- pert of the present Government. Messrs. Calhoun and Laird vainly endeavored to raise the School Question. They were heard with great impatience by the intelligent electors. Mr. W. D. Stewart made a weak defence of the conduct of the late Govern- ment in reference to the charges of jobbery and mal-adwministration preferred against them. Hon. My. Ferguson replied at length ; and the eifect of his speech was made evident by the factathat he was, at the close, tendered a unanimous vote of thanks by the meeting. Messrs. A. E. C.

Holland and G. W. Bentley were chosen as the Liberal-Conservative candidates. We are assured that Messrs. Lea and Calhoun have not tlie slightest prospect of polling a respectable vote in the District.

The Latest Developments.

{fal exposures of Governmental jobbery recently made. Greed of gain was never more audacieusly gratified in violation of law, the trusts of the people were never more glaringly abused, than by the officiay members of the late Government. It does not appear that any subordinate official is deserving of censure. ‘Truth to tell, Messrs. Morrison and Hyndman kept within the lines of their duty ; and refused to con- nive at the writing down of false dates or the payment of uncertified accounts. Upon the heads of Messrs. Davies, Stewart and Dodd must fall-the heavy hand of the people’s censure. Their acts remind us of the great fact that—

“‘Unblessed by virtue, Government a league Becomes a circling junto of the great rob by law.”

The acts of the official members of the late Government were done in spite of law— and in this respect the words of the poet do not apply; but the “circling junto’ ordering goods one of the other, and wink- ing at false dates and uncertified accounts for the benefit one of the other, and making illegal payments of public money one to the other, holds good to the letter. We should be disposed to let Mr. Davies off with a censure for carelessness were it not for his declaration that he criticised every account, and did not permit pay- ments without his personal knowledge. Taking him at his own word, he is just as bad as the others. They were all sworn to uphold the law. They all deliberately broke the law. They must, consequently, all stand in the same condemnation.

We should be disposed to rest here, were it not for the Patriot’s audacious report of the meeting of Wednesday evening. The Patriot says :—

‘*The meeting throughout was exceedingly flat, and was marked by a great want of en- thusiasm on the part of the audience, a large part of which, growing tired of hearing the old stale charges gone over again, took their de parture long before the meeting was over. faking it altogether, the meeting may be con- sidered to have been a failure.”

This quotation contains unmitigated mis- statements ; and so does the following :—

‘The Leader of the Government and the Commissioner of Public Works merely reiter- ated the charges they had made against the late Administration without offering any fur- ther proof of them than their mere ipse dicit.” Hon. Mr, Ferguson submitted the follow- ing, among other accounts, as specimens, for the inspection of any gentleman in the room :— (Copy of Counterfoil. Requisition Note, No. 196.)

Contemptible Mis-statements.

Tur Patriot states that Hon. Mr. Sulli- van said at Bonshaw that ‘‘the Stock Farm Committee was a contemptible Board.” We are authorized to state that this is an unmitigated misstatement. Hon. Mr. Sul- livan referred to the declaration of Hon. ‘Mr. Davies that the old Board of Education was a ‘‘contemptible Board.” He said not one word against the gentlemen who com- pose the Stock Farm Committee.

On reading the above, Mr. Davies is re ported to have exclaimed, ‘‘Save me from my friends.”

Mr. W, D. Srswarr says that Hon. D. Fergnson has turned the Public Works’ Office into an ampitheatre. Mr. Ferguson retorts: ‘‘You turned it inte a den of thieves !”

The Cost of Living Under the New Tariff.

Mr. H. R. Ives, the well known Mon- treal foundryman, recently in conversation with a reporter, said that all his men would be placed on full time, and that he would immediately engage in the manufactare of articles hitherto imported. Speaking of a possible rise in the price of stoves and other foundry goods, he said :—

‘‘It is a mistake to think that people will have to pay much mere fer goods manu- factured by us than hitherto. Under the present tariff we have a security never felt under the old tariff, which will en able us to ewploy improved inachinery, and reduce the cost of manufacture. Un- der the old tariff we were never safe, and prices were never settled. We did not know the moment Americans would ship a lot of goods here to slaughter them and swamp us. The increased tariff, however, gives us protection from this kind of thing, imparting more steadiness to our markets. During a period of three years it will be found the average prices paid by consumers will, if anything, be less than those paid during the past three years, owing to our being able to obtain greater facilities for manufacture, although some kinds of goods may be temporarily advanced to pay for these machines.”’

The Montreal ‘‘ Gazette” says :—‘‘The workingmen is asserted to have been legis- lated against in the new tariff. Yet what are the facts? He pays no more for his breadstuff's, according to these same papers which assert thata duty on grain cannot affect the price; he pays less for his tea, his molasses, and no more for his clothing, bis salt, his rice or his pork. And even in the matter of sugar he will be called upon to pay no increased price, for the reason that pure raw sugar, such as the poorer classes use, is actually subject to a less duty under the new than under the old tariff. And above and beyond all these considerations stands out the all-important fact, that the workingmwnen will be afforded employment and steady wages all the year round, in lieu of unsteady employment and precarious wages, which for five years past he has been obliged to submit to.”

The Death-rate of

Our country is getting to be fearfully al- arming, the average of life being lessened every year, without any reasonapvle cause, | death resulting generally from the most in- significant origin. At this season of the year, especially, a cold is such a common thing that in ~he hurry of every day life we are apt to overlook the dangers attending it and often find, too late, that a Fever or Lung trouble has already set in. Thon- sands lose their lives in this way every win- ter, while had Bosshee’s German Syrup been taken, a cure would have resulted, and a large bill from a doctor been avoided. For all diseases of the Throat and Lungs, Bus- ehee’s German Syrup has proven itself to be the greatest discovery of its kind in medi- cine. Every Druggist in this country will tell you of its wonderful effect. Over 950,- 000 bottles sold last year without a single failure known.

Orrawa, March 27.

The Sub-Committee on Insolvency was con- vened this morning—Mr, Colby occupying the chair.

A communication was read from a Judge in New Brunswick suggesting various amend- ments to the present Act.

A letter was also read from Mr. J. H. Daw- son, of Halifax, recommending that the trus- tees of an insolvent estate should be appointed by the County Judges, and not by the cred- itors.

The Bank of British North America recom- mends that any debt unpaid for thirty days should be considered an act of insolvency and that the power of granting a discharge toa debtor should be taken out of the hands of creditors and be placed entirely in the hands of the judges.

A letter was read from a gentleman protest- ing against an insolvent being held responsible for loss entailed on his creditors by the care- less waste of his estate by an assignee and re- fused a discharge by his creditors because they had not realized fifty cents op the dollar on their claims.” Several other suggestions were made through communications to either the chairman or members of the committee, after reading which the meeting adjourned.

A full fledged forger aud his confederate made a $500 haul out of the Bank National yesterday.
