ment of the reasone given by che Dominion Statistician for the policy which the Gov~ ernment adopted in the year 1883, of subsidizing railways which are not of in terprovincial importance or railways fnot connecting two or more provinces. The Dominion Statistician says:

“Owing to the danger to provincial finan - ces consequent On pressure upon the pros viucial governments for aid for local rail- ways, (within the Province) the Dominion (Government, in 1883, determined to change their policy, which upto that time had been to give aid only to those lines which ran throvgh more provinces than one. The change of attitude was necessary. fail~ ways had to be built. The Provincial Governments could not build them with- out running isto debt. This compelled them to make application to the Federal Parliament for enlarged financial arrange- ments, a proceedirg which, in the in erest of the system of government adopted in Canada, was calculated to deprive the Pro-~ vincia!l Goveruments of that independence

of the federal authority which it is deemed advisable should ever be maintained.

“This was the object of the'Government, wheu in 1883 they began large expenditures on railways which were only of local ira~ portance, and railways with regard to which the province of Prince Edward Island has hitherto received no aid or benefit. That policy did not relieve the people of Prince Edward Island ic build- ing railways, because the railway expend - iture in Prince Edward Island was made by that province previous to that year. But, Sir it did relieve the province of On- tario and the province of Quebec and the province of Nova Scotia and the province of New Braunewick and every other pro- vince in the Dominion, except Prince Ed- ward Island. Before that pvclicy is now reversed it should also be applied to Prince Edward Island. I findin the report of the Minister of Railways for the year 1878, & statement which has been the means of misleading the public mind in regard to railway expenditures in Prince EdwarJjfls- land ever since that time. By reference to Sessional Papers No. 23 to 146, of 1878 I fiud the following railway statistics, aid from :—

OPERA HOUSE The Doctor of Alcantara

BY JULES EICHBERG

— The London Times has been giving a great deal of attention to the origin of the Spanish-American war. It maintains that the United States was justified in urging upon Spain the pacification of Cuba. Up to a certain point the negotiations along this line went on well, Spain offering to give autcnomy and the United States expressing

ing that time should be given to complete the Herculean task of restoring order. But the Maine sudden!y blew up, and this explosion, with the conviction in the United States that it was not accidental, changed al] the plans and made war in- evitable.

—Sir James David ddgar, Speaker of the House of Commons, of Canada, not long ago wrote the following paragraph clipped from a pamphlet : :

* Canadians are sensible enough to place small value upon the Downing street titles and decorations which are now so ofien offered to our public men.

‘When it is seen that an accumulation of these honors bas completely turned Sir John’s head, and filled him with a con- su ning loyalty, and an imperial ardor against national aspiretions, it wil] be~ come more clear than ever that Canadian statesmen should oniy accept honors which are conferred upon them by the Canadian peopl:.”

- Inthe course ofa recent speech at Belleville Sir McKeazie Bowell contrasted the feelings of the past with the feeling now existing between the the people of Great Britain and those of the United States through the wise and statesman~ like policy of Lord Salisburv. He said that the flag which he bad jast flang to the breeze was today revered by the people to the south, and it mingled its folds with those of the Stars and Stripes, proving to the people of the great Republic that ‘the old Mother beyond the sea, though a short

This is laid down to be the aid from the Dominion Government, from the provinces aod municipalities up to June 30, 1878.

“Now, Sir, I think I am within the bounds of truth in stating that this extract was the means of perpetrating an injustice against Prince Edward Island, an injustice which has worked its injury to the pro~ vinee up to the present day. I have read frum the terms of union, where the sum of over $3,000,000 was charged against Prioce Edward Island for railwaye, but here are these railway statistics for 1878, which say that not adollar was paid by Prince Edward Island. I want to call the atvention of the House to the fact that this mistake is not of very recent date. Ii started at least in 1878 ander the McKenzie administration, and it has done very s2ri~ ous injury in preventing Prince Edward Island obtaining that share of public works which it, ought to have.”

Referring to what is beingdone in On-« tario and Quebec towards the extension of railways and canals Mr. Martin said:

“T have a clipping from one of the newspapers, printed at the time of a by- election at Point Levis, which shows how freely the Government is ready to expend money in some cases. When the by- election at Levis was at its height, the Hon. J. Israel Tarte went there to plead for the Liberal Government candidate. He said ;

“{ give you my word that within a few days the Miuister of Railways and myself will come here to discuss with your coun- cil about the works which we must exe~ cute bere. Do you want wharves? Do you want elevators ?”
