of the poll, and that only three Opposi,

tionists Were elected. May we now hope that the false reports sent abroad to the ef- fect that five Uppositionists were elected, and that the Leader of the Government in the Council stood at the foot of the poll, will be contradicted / These false reports have misled the press and people of the whole of Canada. It been argued by the grit organs that the returns indi- eate thetrend of public opinion to be more strongly than ever against the govern- went of Sir John Macdonald. The opposite conclusion may with far stronger reason be drawn. At the last Legislative Council elec- tion five grits wereelected and but one Liber- gl-Conservative; now we have four Liberal- Ulonservatives elected and but three op- positionists, A significant change! Lib- eral-Conservatives have the meantime been in office both at Ottawa and Char- lottetown. the opposition publications, have all the while

has

in Tbe opposition press and made the most of every action and occur- which either the Government at Charlotte- create dissatisfac-

rence in

Ottawa or the Government at town were involved, to tion and discontent throughout the length and breadth of the country. But the result of the Legislative Council election

that,

proves

so far as Prince Edward Island is

concerned, their efforts have been in vain.

The Liberal Conservative party is, in point

of fact, gaining strength. The property- holders of Prince Edward Island have

shown that they appreciate the excellent administration of affairs which has char- acterized the period in which the Liberal Conservative party has been in power.

Arguing upon the false premises found in the false telegrams sent from Charlotte- town, the Ottawa free Press says :

‘* This election has a special significance from the fact that at the last session of the provincial legislature the legislative couacil passed resolutions favoring unrestricted reci- procity and condemning the government for refusing to take part in the interprovincial conference held in Quebec in 1887- The great mass of the legislative council voters are far- mers. At elections for the assembly, every man over twenty-one years of age is entitled to vote, but only owners of real estate worth $325 or upwards can vote at legislative coun- cil elections. Hence it may fairly be claimed that the farmers of Prince Edward Island, by their votes on Wednesday, endorsed the re- solution of the legislative council in favor of unrestricted reciprocity with the United States.

May we not, with greater force,—in view of the actual result—argue that the farmers of Prince Edward Island have, by their votes, condemned the resolution of the Legislative Souncil in favor of Uare- stricted Reciprocity with the United States ?

Of this we are, at all events, quite sure, As soon asthe farmers of Prince Edward Island understand that Unrestricted Reci- procity means restricted trade with Great Britain and the rest of the world, as soon as they appreciate fully the fact that Unre- stricted Reciprocity with the States must inevitably lead to the severing of the filial bond which binds them to the Motherland, they will signify their condemnation of it in such a way that everlasting confusion will rest upon the heads of the grits.

— The Montreal Gazette remarks that the Globe, whose editor-in-chief is Mr. Farrar, the moving spirit in the inception of the Equal Rights agitation, reads a severe lesson to the Mail, whose editor-in-chief was Mr. Farrar, the said moving spirit, be- cause of its habit of collecting and re-print- ing all the violent utterances of the ultra French-Canadian papers, and attributing the prejudices therein exhibited to the whole French-Canadian people. It was under Mr. Farrar’s management that the Mail inaugurated this system of quotations, _— eam to seeene and excuse the extreme feelings shown by the ual Righters. Now, we are | # ea Farrar’s paper how wicked Mr. Farrar’s other paper was when he conducted it,

Majority for Ross 13.

This shows that—though the election was a close one—-both Nicholson and Ross are elected, and that they lead the polls ahead of both the Opposition candidates.

The special votes cast for the candidates in King’s County aré as follows : First Dis- trict, Dingwell, 15; Hooper, 3. Second District, Poole, 7 ; Aitken, 5.

The special votes cast in Queen’s and King’s Counties for the candidates in Prince County were at follows: First District, Blanchard, 4; Murphy, 0. Second Dis- trict, MacDonald, 7 ; MacNutt, 4.

Next Wednesday is Declaration Day in Queen’s County. High Sheriff Curtis will open his court at 11 o’chock.

Chamberlain Speaks Out. HE CRITICIZES THE GOVERNMENT, THE TEM- PERANCE CRANKS AND GLADSTONE,

BirMINGHAM, Aug. 4.—Joseph Chamber- lain, in a speech here Saturday night, said the government had made a tactical mistake in introducing the licensing bill during a session that was crowded with business. The intentions of the government, how- ever, were good, and their proposals were reasonable and beneficent, and ought to have commanded the support of every tem- perance man. The proposals had, in fact, secured the support of the moderate friends of temperance, but the yoverument had been balked by the unexpected hosti ity of the temperance fanatics, whe were repre- sented by the lesders of the United King- dom alliance, and, above all, by the ra- expected development of a party spirit that sought every occasion to damage the goy- ernment in power. He could respect the sincerity of some of the ypponents- of the measure, but he could not shy the same for their Gladstonian and Parnellite allies, because it was well known _ that the Parnellites were opposed to any- hing in the nature of even moderate tem- perance reform, while a majority of the Gladstonians were pledged to the hilt in fa- vor of the compensation of publicans. The government erred in not forseeing these contingencies, but the temperance people had made a greater mistake in rejecting an opportunity which might not occur again for many years. Mr. Chamberlain saw no- thing to discourage the unionists. The government, he said, had conducted its ad- ministrative work with singular good for- tune and success, and had raised England’s influence higher than it had been for many years. Even the opposition did not care to impugn the foreign policy of the min- istry. He ridiculed Mr. Gladstone for raising a ‘‘ no popery” cry regarding the mission of General Simmons, and claimed that Lord Salisbury, in sending a regular mission to the Vatican in the interests of his Catholic fellow-subjects, had acted ina more honorable and straightforward way than if he had employed an amateur like Mr. Errington, wh» might be rewarded with a baronetcy or be disayowed later if party exigencies required such action. In con- clusion he prophesied that at the next ses- sion the taxes would be further red uced and freeeducation would be made universal.

The Arch-Duke John of Austria, who some time ago vast aside the insignia and renounced the titles of his lofty rank, will have a good opportunity of studying modern democracy under one of its most lively manifestations, as he happens just now to be at Buenos Ayres. After assuming the name of John Orth, he took command of a merchant vessel and sailed for South Ame- rica. On reaching the capital uf the Argen- tine Republic he was annoyed to Jearn that some of his countrymen there resident were organizing a reception for him of a style and scale befitting the- rank that he had abandoned. John Orth did not accept this hesitation to believe in his sincerity as a compliment, and he promptly signified his distaste for any recognition but what was in keeping with his actual station. He has since then becn engaged in commercial pur- suits, making ‘‘connections” for the firm of which he is a member. From there he was to go to Valparaiso to make like ar- rangements for the Chillian trade.

” Stallion Race.

Sir,—l am glad to see by Tux EXaMInER that the horses are improving so much on the track. It must be pleasing to breeders

of trotting stock to learn that we are to have a stallion race this fall, so as to let

It is hoped that the ‘stallions mentioned in Tur Ex- AMINER Of Monday’s date will all answer the ring of the bell on the day of the race. BReEEDER.
