THE STANLEY.

a

So far as we can see or hear, there is little or no ice in either bay or strait, ancl the ferry boats are running in this harbor. Yet the Stanley is kept on the Georgetown route, though loaded freight for Charlottetown! This is scandalous man- agement. Everyone says that there is some political motive at the bottom of it. Mr. Davies’ constituents have a right to an explanation.

HYPOCRITICAL POLITICIANS,

ase

Havina, a few years ago, robbed the Dominion officials in this Province of their franchise, the Provincial Government now propose to restore itto them. The reason for this is clear enough. They think that now, with the Liberals at the head of both Provincial ana Dominion Governments, they are in a position to control it. But this plain reason would not do for use in Legisleture. So they say that they do i in view of a plebiscite vote and in the interests of temperance and morality! As if to show that.they are sincere in makixg this excuse, they pat up Mr. McKinnon, of Georgetowa, to submit the bill. But the temperate habits, the morality and in-

telligence of members of the Civil Service ja this province were urged in vaiu a few a few years agowhen they were to be robbed of their franchise rights as citizens Hypocrisy, thy name is Liberel! MR. LAURIER’S TOOLS. A rriexp of Tae Examiner, residing in- the country, refers to an anonymous letter lately published by The Guardian signed © An Independent Orangeman ” and says that the Murdock McLeod therein men- tioned is the same who a few years ago in the Orange Lodges at Bradalbane and De Sable denounced the Hon. Donald Fergu- son and the late honored representative of Rustico, Mr. Donald McKay, because they supported “a Catholic Leader, ” the Hon. W. W. Sullivan. “ This is the very man” he says, “who has taken anotber man’s place on the Prince Edward Island Railway at the hands of @ Govern - ment led by a Catholic who has lately been @ petitioner at the court of Rome.” In reply to our friend, whose kindly interest we appreciate, we have to say that Tue Examiver has no need to take any notice of the abuse and misrepresentation of anonymous grit scribblers, and rarely does so. Everyone knows that we are always for fair play and that righteousness of action which exaltetha nation. In a mixed community such as this, the less said to excite religicus and sectarian prejudice the better. We deeply regret that an admittedly illegal act of the Legislature of Manitoba rendered it necessary for Tar Examiner and all lovers of fair play and supporters of the law to raise their voices on bebalf of the Catbolic minority in Manitoba. If it had been the Protestant winority in Quebec who had had to protest against the breach of a Parliamen- tary compact, Toe Examiner would have just as stoutly maintained its cause. But in politics we know neither Protestant nor Catholic. We commend the right; we denounce the wrong. But it certainly is a curious and remarkable fact that the men who invoked Protestant prejudice in this Province a few months ago on behalf ef non-sectarian schools for Manitoba are now the men to applaud asectarian school settlement and to beg for offlce from 4 Government ‘the leading members of which are metaphorically (if not actually) on their knees to the Papa! Delegate who came to Canada at their request! Of such materials Mesere. Laurier and Tarte make their tools.

GALL LEILA AAA —The annual report of the Department of Public Works for the vear ended 30th June has been ([tabled. The expenditure was $1,582,409, as compared with $2,033,- 490 in 1894-95, and $2,315,021 in 1893-94. This shows that with a falling revenue the late Conservative Government knew enougl to curtail its expenditure. Whe- ther Mr. Tarte will follow the excellent example set him next year’s annual report will tell.

Noxe of the Government organs have attempted to show that Mr, Hackett knew that the fatal treat was given, or had any the man who gaye it

was sworn to before Mr. H. James Palmer, at Cape Traverse? The fact ia that every- one of the other charges ayainst Mr. Hack- ett wasdismissed by the judges, with costs. But suppose that everyone of them had been proved to be trne, the corruption ia Mr. Hackett’s election would still be a mere bagatelle in comparison with that of other elections. Two dollars loaned to a man who had no vote, and four dollars loaned to another (a cousin of Mr. Perry) who went to him for *‘a little money to buy seed,”— what does it all amount to in the eyes of reasonable men who know how the elections were carried in East Prince and West Queens ? that the judges dismissed all these cases, the Governmen press ought to be ashamed to even mention them. They had mnch better, indeed, explain what was done with that “three” or “five” or “ten” gallon keg of whiskey marked “groceries’’ which the petitioner in the case, William Sharp Larkins, quite incidentally, swore that he received at the railway station and delivered to “an active friend of Perry’s at election.”

NOTES AND COMMENTS, —Mgr. Merry del Vai, in his address to the Pontifical Zouaves at the Windsor Hotel, Montreal, significantly counselled them to follow their natural pastors, the bishops, even if their personal opinion had to be sacrificed.

—Apparently the Government’s Civil] Service Bill, has been submitted to Mr. McMullen, and does not meet with the ap- proval of that gentleman, for he too hae submitted a bill to amend the Civil Service Act. The member for Welling- ton has been wonderfully modest and retiring this session and his melodious voice has scarcely been heard. — It is said that he is by no means in sympathy with the government on what can be learned of its proposed tariff policy, and is strongly opposed to the Crow’s Nest Pass Railway being built by the Canadian Pacific Rail- way. Mr. McMullen 1s also said not to have got over the soreness he felt at being left out of Mr. Laurier’s Catinet, and it will not be very surprising if he drops out of politics, at least for a while, after the close of the present session.

Altbough the programme of the Diamond Jubilee festivities are practically drawn up, with the supposition that their details will be carried out, it ia learned on high anthority that everything is contingent — the state of the Queen’s hea!th, and she will act entirely upon the advice of her physicians. If Her Majesty is not very well she will remain at Buckingham Palace, and if she takes part in the pro- cession and shows aigns of fatigue she will at once leave it and abandon the plan of visiting St. Paul’s Cathedral. Then again Her Majesty may only go to St. Paul’s Cathedral.
