THE BELFAST ELECTION.

—_—_—_—

Tat the Liberal-Conservatives of this Province have no desire to offer factious or vexatious opposition to the government of Mr. Warburton, orte put the province to any unnecessary expense, has been made evident by the fact thatthe new Attorney- General has been elected by acclamation. We feel eure that the Government will appreciate the kinduess and consideration shown in this. case. It would have been easy tostirup a strong feeliog in the Belfast district against the new admini-tra- tion,in general, and Mr. McDonald, in'par- ticular; and a candidate on the part of the opposition might have been elected. But mxderate counsels prevailed among the Liberal-Conservatives ofthe Belfast district, There was only one matter about which they desiredto test the disposition and intentions of the Liberal Party viz, the eonstruction of the Southern Railway. Mr. McDonald's response to their request in this regard can hardly be described as satisfactory, except upon the principle that “silence gives consent.” Courtesy to the people is, apparently, not a virtue in the eyes of our new Attorney-General. Still seeing that the Liberals are in power—the people of Belfast have,we think, shown their wisdom in assuming that the new Government will use all the influence that it may to promote the construction of the Belfast and Murray Harbor Railway.

DISMISSALS.

Tue polttical guillotine continues to do ite dastardly work. Within the past few days we have heard of several cases in which men long employed upon the P. E Island railway—industrious, careful, ef- ficient men, against whom no offence had been proved or could be proved—have been turned adrift at a fortnight’s notice, in the beginning of the winter season to make room for raw recruits from the Liberal party, ignorant of railway work. Some of the dismissed are men who have large families depending upon them. But no consideration has beenZshown them on that account. With their wages suldenly cut off, they must face the winter at a time when labor is aot plentiful in the com- muaoity and when their chance of obtaining employment is gone. There are, we be- lieve, few individual men in the community who haye the heart to do that which our Liberal Government (save the mark) has, tor the sake of their partiean office-seekers, done towards old and tried servants of the public.

Among the officials in other departments who have been deprived of office under the spoils system is Mr. George Conroy, of Tignish, Mr. Conroy is a capable man, appointed under an Order in-Council and properly one of the outside civil service of Canada. All the same, he has been com- pelled by the political pirates who have captured the country to walk the official plank.

A PAT UPON THE BACK.

Tue Rev, Dr. Osborne, for several years a resident of this Province, has addressed to the Summerside Journal a letter in the course of whieh be says :—

“On the Island the cry of ‘hard times’ was ever in One’s ears, but from much consideration after careful observation, the conclusion I have reached is that the island isthe most fertile and prosperous province of Canada. So far as the homes can be compared, the people of the Island, and farmere,too, are under no disadvantage, In the part of Ontario where [ passed the summer, fruit grows in abundance, and certainly, the Island can never be the home of the peach or the grape; but for the ordinary and staple fooda, the ne- cessaries of life, the Island produces them in abundance, and inferior to none, To any mao living on Prince Edward Isiand, especially if born and brought up there and paying bis way, even should he be making nothing, I would say remain where

coure®, are equal, ifno* superior, on the island, In certain directions the cu!ture of the Island pecple is superior, taking the general standard of country places. If dress be a criterion of wealth, then Sum- merside has its Kioudikers, too. The climate of the Island is not in it, so cannot be ecmpare!, and I doubt if there is any

country inthe world equal to Ontario in climate. There is also another aspect not often considered, i. e., life is easier on the

Island than anywhere in my experience, wealth is more equally distributed, and “Jack and his master” are on more equal

terms. Outside Toronto, I have seen no stores equal to Summerside, and the priniing offices of the country towns here. show nothing like the enterprise of th Journal.”

—Montreal Gazette: Mr C. H. Macin-

tosh has resigned the lieutenant-gov- ernorship of the Territories. There will be fun “presently with the disappointed

patriots who won't get the jb.

—*<The Gallant Gordons” is the flatter~ ing title which the military world at home and abroad give to the Gordon Highl- nd- ers for the'r storming of tie Dargai Ridge. It is impossible, eays the English papers,

to speak too highly of their gallantry.

—Le Monde Canadien holds that if Laurier would settle the school question the way to a coalition would be open. W hereupopethe Montreal Gazette remarks that “ if Le Monde Canadien has not yet caught ap-with the procession of events, it will get a big help forward by read:ng the returas from Drummond and Arthaba-ka. The school question is settled, and jthe people of this province applaud.”

; —-Moutréal Gazette :

Judging from Washingtgh despatches the Canadian seal bunters’ @ysiness is in some danger of beiog destroyed. There appearsto be a

proposition on foot that if the United States will consent to certain protective regulations in regard to Atlantic fishing, for the benefit of United States citizens, then Canada, also for the benefit of United States citizens, will consent to regulations for the protection of the seal herd.

ESTEEMED EXCHANGES.

Halifax Herald: The Mail and Express and some other New York papers are renewing, the old fashioned attack on Sir Charles Tupper as the foe to the repub‘ic. They are also beginning to prai-e Sir Wilfrid Laurier. This begins to look dangerous. The premier had betier ome home before he does any harm.

Montreal Gazette: It is being hipted in some quarters that Sir Wilirid Laurier may propose at Washington thet Canada will retire from her position on the sealing question in return for or as partof a re- Ciprocity arrangement. In other words, in return for Uncie Sam taking the horse Sir Wilfrid’ will propose to give him the waggon. | Tbe country will breathe easier when the Premier is home again.

Montreal Gazette: There is a proposal being considered in Prince Edward Island to appoint a liquor seller to the position of school inspector. A liquor seller in Priace Edward Island must be a law breaker, bes cause all Tiquor selling there is illegal. A glimmering of this seems to be penetrating the partizan preas, in which the excuse is made that it will bea good thing toget s man out of a badand into « good business. There are queer things dove in the name of liberaliem these days.

The time is drawing near when the question of winter communication between Prince Edward Island aud the mainland will receive its annual airing.

Boston. Nov. 15.—The visit of Premier Laurier and Sir Louis Davies to Washing ton this week was widely discussed in ts ce wotry. Fractically every newspaper of n te published editorials on the visit of the Canadians, and ip many quarters the bope was expressed that at last Americans would find a better market in Canada than they have hitherto found. The arravge ments for the visit of Premier Laurier were made by bis bosom friend and liberal miss onary to the United State«, Edward

Farrar, who in time past bas worked hard |

in the hope of unifying the interests of the people of the “continents to which we belong.” The comments of some of the newspapers are very interesting. For instance the Boston Transcript says the cominz of the premier is “a triumpl: for Sir Wilfrid’s genera] policy of giving Can ada an individual status as a power.” This isthe keynote to thegeneral view ot the premier’strip. Anything that would draw the attention of the Canadian government from England is popular in Uncle Sam’s domain.

The dyspeptic carries a dreadful loed on his back. It seems as if he were really made upof two men. One of them atmbitious, brainy and energetic; the other sick, listless, peevish and without force. The weak man weighs the other ove down. The dyspeptic mav be able to do pretty good work one day, and the next day because of some little indiscretion in eating he may be able to do nothiog at all. Most cases of dyspepsia start with conetipation. Constipation is the cause of vine-tevths of all human sickness. Some of ite svmpioms are sick and bilious beadache, dizamess. sour stomach, loss of appetite, foul breath, windy belchings, heartburn, pain and distress after eating. All these are indica- tive of derangements ct the liver, stomach and vowels, and allare csused by consti- pation. Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets are the quickest, easiest and most certain cure for this condition, They are not vivlent in action.
