More recently in Nova Scetla Hon. George Murray, who had been Premier of that Province since 1896, resigned that office,

and Hon. E. H. Armstrong was appointed to succeed him. Sofar none of the wise Liberal editors

have discovered that there is any- thing wrong or irregular in this

transaction, or that Premier Arin- strong‘s mandate to carry on the government of the province is in any way defective or insufficient. Premier Armstrong is just as much a real usurper, despot and so on

as were Hon. Messrs. Melglien and Arsenault, when they were pro-

moted to party leadership, but he is a Liberal! That makes all the difference in the world with the wise and amable Liberal editors.

Speaking of the mandate of the people as being necessary to a new government on taking office serves to remind us that sonie- times the peopie give a mandate to a government to get out of of- flcc. If we remember rightly something of this sort occurred on tlic 26th July last in which the Bell Government were sup- posed to be interested. And tbc honorable gentlemen who compose the Bell administration seem to have forgotten about the people's mandate! They never mention it now. Not for many moons past

has ever thc word “uiaudatc" up pcarotl in the columns 0f any Lib- Ql".‘i iicivspupci' that W-p liuzcsscn.

When a party goes before the people at a general election with a platform of principles and poli- cies and make professions aud pro- iiilscs in regard thereto aud the the pt-oplc return the party to power, what is the mandate of the people to that party? Clearly it is to give effect to and carry out its platform and ifs IIFIIllISBS. Both the Boll Government and the King Government’ laid down dcfiu- ite platforms and made distinct pledges and promises. 'l‘lir-. pco- plc elected them tn power and their the incoming ministers prov- ed rccreaut to their pro-election pledges. They regarded not the people's mandate.

The Bell Government broke their compact with the people as soon as they began to legislate. During their cntire teriii they rc- fused to do the things they pro- iiiiscd to do, and did other things they bud promised not to do. And now at the last when ordered by the pcoplc to get out of their of- fices and give place to other men whom the people have chosen they stubbornly refuse to go. it is now more tlinii a month since their defeat. The Drury Govern- ment when defeated in Ontario two months ago got out in half that time. Tlicy at least realized what the people's iunndutc meant!

It is regrettable that such mat- ters ehould of necessity be brought into public discussion at the pre- sent time. The necessity would not exist werc it not that the men

who are now clinging to power In this province show nu utter dis regard nllke of their solemn com- Pflfit with tho people but of con-

stitutional usage and propriety no to the time and manner of their going out. it is now well known that the intention of the defeated muilsters at tho time of their defeat was to cling to power for months to come and to issue debentures further involving the province in debt.
