A HALLOW C §Y. ‘Tne last Patriot is full of, sound and fury —and nothing else. — Its, Sneoherent rays ing: about © Free Trade and ‘ Protec- tion’? excited only the laughter and des rision of sensible mea. Fof what cause is ‘there to cry “ free trade” when all are ‘free traders here? Is not the name of Mr. |Pope prominent among those of the mo» who last winter voted ‘ free trade?” And has not NcKenzio expressed his satisfac~ tion with Mr. Pope’s action, and himself declared that Mr. Pope * could not go for what he does not believe in?” Who in this Province is agitating for “Protection ? Practically, noone, And there is, theres fore, no necessity to raise a question about it. To raise a question about it—to see a division upon it—s, however, the last hope of the almost dispairing Patriot (?) who selfishly wishes to see the country ruled by men who, in the name of economy, are ruining the country; who, in the name of purity, are committing the most scan- dalous jobs that ever shocked an honest people, All the old crys are—to use the elegant phrase of the Toronto Globe— * played oft.” ‘The cry against Confedera- tion ended in the midnight mission of Laird to Ottawa. The cry against the Railway ended in the building of the branches. Both crys, however, served the turn of those who raised them, Laird is reaping the results in the receipt of a Gov- ernorship and $5,000 or $10,000 a year; and Davies and the smaller fry of antis confederates and anti-railway howlers are comfortably ensconced in good fat (railway)

offices, But the greed of the party to which the VPutrio! belongs is not yet satiated. More is wanted. The “ good

time ’’ is passing way. Another cry must be raised. And, in a tone resembling “The wolt’s long how! on Onolaska's Shore," the Vatriot shouts “Frees Trape.” But it

is the last dispairing cry of the falling

politician. The people will not again be

deceived by the hollow cries of selfish and

designing agitators. ‘The “ organized hy-

pocrisy ’* is doomed: For the electors | feel that if they are retained in office a

further rise of the tariff to 20 or 25 per

cent, is as certain to follow the how! for

“free trade ” as the echo to resound from

the mountain side. It eannot be other~

wise. The country is yearly becoming

more and more involved in debt; the cost

of Government is yearly increasing, an so

long as the Grits remain in, power, trade

seems fated to dullness and. contraction.

HE CONCERT LAST EVENING.

—-

As we ventured to predict, the Concert in Market Hall last evening wasa rare musical treat. The selections wére all of a high elass; and their rendition was in nearly every case good, and in several instances splendid. The performers consisted of

April, levy a tax for the purpose of recoms pensing the Government? The Act, it will be observed, expressly directs the Board to make an estimate of the sums which may be needed up to the time when the rates of the next succeeding year—not a word about the past year—will probably be received’—which sum the City Council is to be requested to assess and levy.

The City Council may, and doubtless will, inelude in their levy of next year a gum sufficient to cover the City School expenses for the past year. Nor will the miijority of citizens object; for it would be manifestly unjast to throw a year expenses of the City Schools upon the country— doubly so in view of the fact that Char- lottetown is not included in the Genera! Assessment levied under ‘The Assess- ment Act 1877.’"’ But there are—it is more than likely—some citizens who will object to payment, of the full amount levied, and who will appeal to the Courts ? Now. can these be forced to pay their share of this year’s City School expenses ?

CitaLLence.-—Mr. James Dover, of No, é company of Queen’s County Battalion, asserts’ that through jealousy he has been deprived of the prizes which he won at the Provincial competinon. He therefore challenges any member of the active militia to Shoot 2 match at the Kensington range on the 10th of October next for any sum of money not less than $20 or more than $50.

~ Bie > ' Errier we need a society for the preven- tion of cruelty to animals, or else the policemen should have orders to look after

and arrest people abusing dumb animals. |

It is really. sickening to stand at Lord’s

Mrs. Strickland, Mrs. Rowan, Miss Dunn, Miss Wright, Miss Newbery, Professor Caven, Mr: Cunningham, Mr. Mitchell, Mr. Vinnicombe, and the Rev. C. H. H. Stewart. The audience was large and enthusiastic. Quite a handsome sum must have been realized. At least, something has been done towards raising a fund with which to build a Hospital; and we trust that the nucleus formed last evening will rapidly expand, The thanks of the community are due the Rev. Mr. Stewart for the active and good use he has made ot his rare musi- cal talents while here.

According to the French code, provision.

al execution applies only to the fine, and

Gambetta, therefore, is not liable to immes diate imprisonment. Gambetta's object in allowing judgment to go by default, evi- dently is to delay final judgment until after elections, when his privilege as deputy wiil protect him from arrest, and according to prevalent opinion, would lead to his liber« ation. should he be in prison.
