greatly inferior to those of the United States, the Spaniards may not be much discomfited by the first reverse and may prosecute the warin the Atlantic, where they have their better ships, with the greater vigor. Certainly, they cannot afford many such reverses. It is not wonderful that people in the States are overjoyed.

HUDSON BAY

Tue report of the commander of the last Hudson’s Bay expedition ought to dispose of the idea of establishiog a northern line of cominunication between Canada aud Great Britain. It has been determined that Hudson’s Bay cannot be entered, even by vesseis built especially for ice service much before the last week in June, and Commander Wakebam fixes the 20th of

THE DAILY EXAMINER, CHARLOTTETOWN, MAY 2, 1898,

NCTtTrs AND COMMENTS.

—The nameof Archbishop O’Brien of ia mentioned as a possible suc-

ia not however, probable that another Canadian cardinal will be named for some time and then it ie more than probable that the honor will remain with the old Quebec see.

—The Guardian agrees with Tue Exaum- ER that “there isa strong feeling 10 the City against the sewerage bill in its pres- ent form.” Electors cannot see any necessity whatever for prematurely turn- ing the present commiesioners out of office and putting npon the city the expense of a new election. Let the present commis- sioners simply take on the additional duty, and appeal to the people in rotation as the present law (which has worked wel!) pres- cribes. As to the reduction of the commissioners’ qualifications and security —that is under the circumstances un- reasonable.

—-An ‘nterview with Mr. Sherman is published, which puts his late conduct and resignation in a new light. Instead of an old man incapacitated by years from discharging the duties of his cabinet office, he appears in the role of «n advocate of peace, eet aside by a President and col- leagues who allowed the uation to drift

into war. Mr. Sherman is sorry the United States entered on war for the sake of the Cubans,

who he says, should have accepted Spain’s offer. Mr. Gury, the postmaster: general has also retired from the cabinet, it is plainly stated, because he did not want'wer with Cuba. There seems to have been something as nearly approaching a Cabinct crisis as United States institutions permit at Washington.

—Perlaps it is only the sarcasm of an irreverent writer which credits the men of the cruiser New York with singing on

audacity of the American war reporters,

A Boston Herald man has discovered thet the patriotic young Athens are now wearing red, white and blue garters.

Montreal Gazette: The public accounts of Prince Edward Island have teen sub-

mitted tothe Lezislature. They show the receipts last year to have been $272,- 550, and the expenditures $316,751. The deficit was $38,218. The debt of the

Province is $427,436. Prince Edward Island has a population of about 11080,00. It is making quick running on the wrong road.

Buston Transcript: “It is pretty certain that the United States will suffer in a commercial and maritime sense in case of war. Even if there should be little reason to fear that Spanish privateers might die- astrously prey upon our commerce, would be impossible to dispel the aprehen~ sion of such an experience, and that would have almost as deadening an effect as the fact itself. It must be rather har. rowing to the souls of the jingoee to reflecr that what will be our loss: —and tke loss canuot be other than Jarge—will be Cana da’s gain. We must, foratime at least, forego our ne.taral advantages. “The ex'rs insuraice cher.el upon vessels going cut of New York and Bosten willbe more than sufficieot to make it profitable to pay the extra freight on goods from New Yerk to Montreal. The Danish consul at the latter city has asked for in- formation relative to the availability of Montreal as an ocean port for Danish ship: ping in the event of war. The Canadian Pacific and Grand Tavnk roads, which have caused frequent neightmares to a number of our members of congress, are preparing for an increase of trade with Chicago for export by wey of Montreal.

BREACH OF CONTRACT.

ee

Tne change as to railway tickets, of which notice was given by Tue Examiner, on Saturday, illustrates the queer way of the railway management under Liberal auspices. It is simply @ breach of con- tract. The milage tickets, heretofore

bought and paid for, are not to be honored, The following is a copy of the order to agents and conductors, showing how the books in stock are to be treated :

At stations where they yet have any stocl: of 150 mile books care must be taken so that proper contract is inserted.

W. T. Hvceay, Accountant and Auditor. The circular referred to directs that “Mileage tickets must not be honoured or baggage checked thereon.” So that the unsuspecting passenger who with his book of mileage tickets in his pocket goes on the train finds that his tickets are of no value to him. He must have them ex- changed and pay something for the privilege. It would be interesting to know why the railway authorities have broken their contracts with purchasers of mileage ticket books in this high-handed manner.

—Although last season’s work may have discouraged slightly the newer factories, we may hope that none of our Cheese Mak- ing Association will failto go into the work with renewed hope and courage this summer,—though it may be wise not to go iato it early in the seasoa. The market is eteadying up sonsiderably and there can be ne doubt but a little later ona good article wil! fetch paying prices. The ex- penses of manufacturing fall heavily upon small factories and therefore all should combine to send up the milk supply. The establishment of additional factories in settlements already eujpplied is certainly a mistake. But with good cowsard a full supply of milk for the factory, there is nothing farmers can make more money out of than cheese,—even at low prices,

—The Ottawa correspondent of the St. John Sun remarks: “ When the plebis~ cite bill comes up, Sir Louis Davies is He will explain

simple question. The unfortunate letter which bears his signature said :

“They (the Government) think that the question as to whether tbe eleetor is in favor of prohibition should have as a part of it the further question as to whether he is prepared for the imposition of such new taxes as experience shows the working of such prohibition might call for. It is obviously plain toany thinking man that if a policy is adopted which cuts oft eeveo or eight millions of income, that some other policy must be adopted to recoup the amount. What this shall be is not for me to say, neither is it for the electors to say.”

If the government thonghbt that, two weeks ago, the goverament has changed .ts mind. Sir Louis will now conclude that “any thinking wan” must see things in & light different from that in which he would look at them a month ago. At the time when Sir Louis wrote hie letter the premier announced to the house that the ques- tion would be put in a way 10 sat afy

reasonavie people are supposed te have

facts.” Inthis way the minister some what resembles a great Englieh statesman who was accused of “extemporizing life long convictions” to suit all occasions.
