written a bouk.” The | at self-justification is exceedingly weak. | If he had come out like a man at the begin-

‘ning of the session, and eaid “I hare chaoged my opizion about the li- leensiog question; the priaciple tha 1] held last year, and for years | previous to last year, is bot @ sound or valid priueiple, aud it must be sec aside in | view of the Conditions existing in Char-

lottetown,’—he would have found many

sympathizers even among the strongest

temperance mei. Bat his silence upon the point, his hypocrisy up to the hour of the denouement, his acceptance

of the bill prepared by the Temperance Alliance over tne heads of Messrs Rogers aud Prowse, the city’s representatives, his introduction of the bill asa Gcveroment mea-ure, and his subscquent yielding to giving up the priucijle upon which almost the whole of the temperance body rested, must be con- demned by honest men of wll parties. Even the few liquor dealers in this eity whom he has served must despise the manner of the

liquor influences acd

a rrice,

The Premier pleads that“circumstances have chaoged.” This plea is not true’ Tbe circumstances surrounding the liquor evil in Charlottetowe are precisely the same as they were last year,—w en the Premier opposed a similar, though much better, bill upon the ground that it ran counter to a “principle” held dear by the temperance men of this Province: The circumstances are changed only ia so — far there is a different Leader of the Government, a temperauce leader par excellence,—who has | betrayed his followers aod renounced a principle which a year ago he held to be e*sential !

The Premier lays stress upon the fact that there are in the city eight clubs,— one composed of boys who play cards and drink liquor Sunday and Monday. What has the Premier aud his Government dove sbout these clubs ? Nothiag. The pro- vision of the bill entrusted to his care in respect to these clubs was obliterated and expunged bythe Premier’s majority in the Legislature, andthe clubs go on as before.

But perhaps the most remarkable para- graph in the Premier’s letter is that in whica he reproaches the Charlottetown

Alliance because they did not prepare a bil! embodying Provincial Prohi- bition. If he were so anxious alou!

Provincial prohibition why did he not have the bill prepared aud why did he not bring it in himeclf? Knowing the forces with which the Premier had t> deal, and knowing that the Cavada Temper- ance Act may be voted on again next year, the Alliance decided to prepare a much less radical measare. If the Premier could not persuade even his cwn Government to accept this latter, if he were compelled to back down and give up almost every pros vision of the bill entrusted to his care, how can he pretend thatbe could have carried a prohibitory measure?

The Premier’s defence is lame from al- most every point of view. He will! find that the people of Prince Edward Island cannot so easity be persuaded to excuse one who has been ‘‘untrue to principle.”

—The se-ling catch of the Briti-h Columbia vessel this season is reported to be unusvaiiy large. This fact es the Montreal G:zette remarks would go to

confoued the United Staves argument trat under present cond tioas the herd is being depleted. Itisvlso |kely tu create ra is faction that the Lsurier idea of relliog out Canada’s right in tbe irdasiry for the price of the old schooners + nz-g-d in it was not carried out.

—It was argos] in the oui of Com. mons a few days ago tha', by vo possible recogn'zed calculation, could the Drain- mond County Railway be beld to be worth the country ibe price proposed to be paid

‘for it. The Gazette aptly remarke that | there is no doubt about the correcines: of lof this position. Bat the Drummond Coucty Railway is being purchased for the Liberal party, aod not for the country. It is evidently worth more to the party thao to the country.

—The Guardiaa coraments upon the | diemiseel of Rev. D. McNeil! after twenty | five years of faithful service and says: “We cannot eecape the conviction that Rev. Mr. McNeill bas been treated with har-hoess and crueliy as to the manner of his diemiseal, and that needless indignity and hardship bave been laid upon one who by faithfal service in the Gospel minisiry and by long and energetic toi! in the Edu- cation Office bas deserved the considers tioa and respect of the entire Province. He was at least entitled to a much longer notice, or a gratuity, or both, oz even if his removal had been necessary in the public interest.”

—The Toronto News thinks that when farmers und shippere learn that British prices for Canadian produce govern the prices at home they will take more care than is now their practice in preparing their shipmsnts for the Bricisk market. It thinks they have not realized that Brit- ain fixes the standard of value for their goode ‘in all parts ot the world or they would have been more anxious togive per- fect satisfaction to British purchasers than they have been in the past. Qne point made by the Newe is particularly worthy of consideration by farmers and merchants engaged iu the export business. The freight charges are just as high upon inferior products that will be rejected by the best class of British purchasers as they are on first-class products ihat com mand the highest prices in the British roarkets,

Pittsburg Despatch: “Many boys and girls who migut be fitted for successful farming, earpentering, blacksmithing, cooking, laundering or the like are rushed through wholly uneuitable courses of study and part.cularly taught that they are de t'med for ‘something better.” That ig a mustake. The learned professions are zrowded and the cities ard to nsar2 oyer- stocked with young ‘ladies and gentlemen’ who have nothing to do. ‘There is al» ways room at the top,’ to be sure, but the world is not looking tor the unexperienced young” people to occupy those elevated places.”

St. John Sun: All the reason: given by Mr. Costiga: why be has now gone over to the enemy were present in April, 1896. Sir Charles Tupner was the leader then, as he is now. The other leading Con» servatives are the same. The one great change is that Sir Charles is an Opposition leader, whereas in 1896 be was the Leader ofthe Geveroment. Mr. Costigan now states that he went in with Sir Charles re- luctantly, But he went in end he stayed in, as long as the government did. Having overcome hie reluctance during that period, he might possibly have continued to doso until now if the Tupper govern - ment had continued in power.
