NOTES AND COMMENTS.

—The death of Miss Ca.neron, this morning, will be deeply regretted by a large circle of friends, It resulted from a stroke of paralysis.

—Ye«s, wehaveto admit the Patriot’s plea that our LiberalGovernment have c catructed a cattle pen or two,—and to remark that the Patriot is evidently hard up for political capital.

—Congressman Hitt, who worked for the unrestricted reciprocity scheme at Washington while Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Sir Richard Cartwright conducted the Canadian end of the campaign, confesses that the purpose of that project was aunexa- tion— just as we supposed.

—In view of increased expendit ures, for which there is nothing particular in reiuro, aod Mr. Tarte’s promise that the expendi- tures will be still further increased next year, it is time for the electors tc admini- ster a caution to the government,—and the independeut Liberal farmers of East Prince are just the men to do it.

— Le Soleil, Mr. Pacaud’s paper, reply. ing (o achargethat Dr Guay, M P., has not yet been appointed to the position of quarantine cfticer, says that politician can have the job whenever he likes, for ke has onlyto name the day. ‘This, as a con- temporary remarks, is a nice state of affairs Sull,the country is getting familiar with the independent representative of the peo~ ple, whogors about with an appointment

’ n his pocket.

— By acable received by Senator Fergu~

son from London, we learn that one of bis

such a8 insurance and wharfage, have to

be deducted. Bui still the results are highly gratifying and prove that P. E.

—The Patriot’s news telegrams of last evening report that “‘rHere Is TALK of giving tothe Kingston Works a contract to build five narrow guage locomotives for | the PE. Island Railway ;” and in the same number, in answer tothe question “what has thecountry gained by turning the Conservatives out and putting the Liberals in, the Patriot says, “five new locomotives,” etc. Surely the Patriot | dogen’t hope that the intelligent electors of East Prince will be deceived by such trans~ parent twopenny-ha’penny humbug

—The people of Summerside will be very | much surprised to learn from the Patriot that the Laurier Government, within the last two years, has spent $30,000 on Sum- merside harbor. The fact is that the statement is absolutely untrue. Not one doilar has been expended on the harbor. The Patriot is attempting to deceive the electors of East Prince, and to influence their votes. The Parliament of Canada in the year 1897 voted $30,006 for Sum- merside harbor. This money was never used and tke vote lapsed. This year (1898) the amount was again voted, but up tothe ! present, work has not been commenced,— é and is not going to be. The whole voteis ; an election dodge. It did duty in 1897, to ¢ Mr. 8. F. Perry’s election in West Prince; erd agit was known to the Laurier ( government that Mr. Yeo was to go to the | Senate, the same trick was adopted in 1898 in order to helpthe gritcandidate at the present by-election. The scheme won’t work th It is too thin !

Ottawa Journal: Spain has drained a bitter cup to tLe dregs, but the brew was her own,

Mail and Empire: Mr. Tarte is after Mr Blair. The latter gentleman has given orders for locomotives and parlour cars to the United States firms,and Mr. Tarte says | in La Patrie that he is going to enquire intotne matter and have it set right. We really cannot see why the Government should go abroad for rolling stock when locomotives can be made at Kingston and cars at Cobourg. In this case we stand by Tarte—so long, of couree as there is no

CHRISTMAS PUBLICATIONS.

THE GENTLEWOMAN,

We are in receipt of an early cory of the Imperial Christmas Number of The Gentlewoman, published in London, It is pleasing to note that the increasing inter- est of the people of Great Britain in the people of the Colonies is evidenced by the fact thatthis splendid number is entirely written by Colonial writersand artiste. The literary and artistic sympathies which exist between the Mother Country and her Colonies are certainly, as bas been weli remarked —“a powerful book of Imperial revision.” These sympathies must be exci- ted and developed by an enterchaage euch ae that which The Geotlewoman is pro- moting. The Gentlewoman’s plan is, we are glad to eee, approved by many distip-~ guisned gentlemen in Great Britain; and we have no doubt that it will be apprecia- ted in the Colonies. The numoer before us isin the highest degree creditable alike to the English editor and to his Colonial contributors.

FRA DIAVOLO.

The Robinson Opera Company open their engagement here Monday night in “Fra Diavolo” The St John Daily Record of Nov 19th, commenting on the performance of Fra Diavolo, says: ‘A more delighted audience never left the Opera House than that which heard the Robinson Company sing Fra Diavolo last evening. It was really a revelation. The company made its biggest hit last night and sang and acted the pretty opera as well as it has ever been performed here. Pia several! times, but not with any more completeness or in a more finished way than last night.” No one should miss Fra Diavolo, Mouday night, at the Opera House.

NO LIQUID ARGUMENTS.

Sir —Now that the election in East Prince is on, itis to be hoped that no trips with whisky wil! be made to the country by acertain Liberal leader. At the last Dominion election A leading Charlottetown Liberal politician

Mr. Bell belonging to the Prohibition Party will not use it himself, and I am quite sure he does not desire his

friends to do so un his behalf. TEMPERANCE.
