7 i reason for P. BK. Island opposing the Gov-| ernment of MacKenzie Bowell :

> j “Coming to the Prince Edward Island

Railway, the Dominion of Canada has} contributed $596,892 to its cost. Interest on the above at 4 per cent. compounded $480,132, and the working expenses of the road have been $4,178,785 52. Being a cote! on the debt side of $5,255,811.29. The receipts on the other side have been $2,662,471.91 that the loses to Can- | a the P. EB. Istand Ra lway has been |

“Itwill thus be seen that the pro rata

burden on the people of Prince Edward Island for the construction and mainten- ance of the great public works from w hich they derive no benefit is nearly three times as great ac the burden which the Dominion taxpayer on the maiuland is called op to bear for the Prince Edward Islaod Railway. In these latter calcula- tions I inchide the entire cost to Canada since 1873.

“My object in making up this cal- culation was to show that there is no ground whatever for the statement that is so often made that Prince Edward Island should abandon her pretensions to the ex- penditure on public works for her benefit and to consideration from the Dominion of Canada on the ground that there is a emali deficit or loss in the working of the Prince Edward [sland Railway, That read, from the fact that the origina! cost was not charged to the Dominion of Canada, is not by any means so large a loser relatively to the population of the Island as the other public works through- out the Dominion. I would say further ie regatd to this matter that there is an- other consideration which hon. gentlemen should bear in mind when then are con- sidering the matter of the Prince Edward Island not full meeting its working ex- penses, and it is this—I would be sorry to say, indeed [ do not believe that any such

arrangement is intentional cr - with a view to diseriminating against the Prince Edward Teland

road. But I have no hesitation in esying that I knew from my own businese that the taritis on the Government railways are so arranged as to divert the natural businees that belongs to the Prince Ed- ward Island Railway to the Intercolonial Railway. I make this statement that un- der the tariff at present in existence $15 more per carload is charged for material shipped from the west for Charlottetown if it goes over the Intercolonial Railway to Point du Chene and ever the Prince Ed- ward Island Railway to Charlottetown than if it zoes to Charlottetown via Pictou some 8¢ miles further on Government roads. That statement will show that cwing to the tariffs at present in existence, the traffic which legitimately belongs to the Prince Edward Island Railroad is sent over the Intercolonial railroad to Pictou and the Prince Edward Island Railroad does not zet the advantage of it in its €arnings.”

From 1873 te 1876, inclusive, the Hon David Laird represented Belfast in the Dowiuion Parliament, and Mr. Sinclair continued in the same position until 1878. In 1882 afr. L. H. Davies became the member for Belfast, and Mr. Welsh was joined with him in 1887. So that in 18 @ut of 22 years since Confederation, Bel- fast has been represented in Parliament by Grits. So far from the state of things described by Senator Ferguson being a reuson for Belfast continuing to vote Grit, it furnishes‘ a very strong ground why it should change its representatives. But looking to the future, the argument drawn from these facts is simply overpowering. Following up the massing of facts already quoted from Senator Ferguson’s Senate apeech, he proceeded to say :

“ There is a very large section of Prince Edward Island extending from Charlotte town southward through what is known as the Belfast and Murray Harbor Die- trict, about 55 miles of an extent of country that is not benefited or penetrated in aay way by the P. E. Island Railway. I think I am in the bounds of truth when Ieay that there is not a better tract of country in the Dominion of Canada than that District. Every inch of land is occupied by a thrifty, hardy and indus- trious class of settlers, and they have very poor harbors on the greater part of the coast.”

Having reference to the facts set forth by Senator Ferguson and his claim for Belfast and Murray Harbor, Sir John Thompson, then the great leader of the Conservative party, wrote Senator Fer- guson, saying:

“I must congratulate you sincerely on the care aud ability with which everything is arranged and the fairness which charac- terizes the case you present on behalf of your Province.”

This was in August last. Then follow ed the Cabinet changes consequent on the lamented death of Sir John Thompson. Sir Mackenzie Bowell became Premier with Mr. Ferguson a member of his Cabinet. We think all reasonable men. will agree with us that the reasons are simply overpowering why Belfast and Murray Harbor should support the Gevernment.

The fact that Messrs. Laird, Davies, Welsh & Co., have never attempted to do apythirg for « people who almost inva- riably trusted them, and that they now add insult to injury by saying through their orgaus, the Patriot and Guardian, that the men of Belfast in demanding a Railway are guilty of soliciting base bribes, should surely settle the matter.

HE DAILY EXAMINER -

REVISION OF VOTER’S LISTS.

Patriot of the 5th inst., under the

heading, has an article in which it figures

Tee

above

given by Tux Examrver on the 4th inst., 5 -

concerning the additions and removals by

the Conservatives at the preliminary and Tue Examiner did not admit. as the Patriot states, that 882 was the correct number of the names added by both sides at the preliminary revision. But we expressly stated that, according to the Patriot, that was the number. We started with that number as data, and as we knew

how many had been added by the Conser-

vatives, we gave the grits credit for the balance. In our issue of Monday the addi-

viven as

Conservatives were g

tions by the 496. This was an error of the compositor, But this does, not, however, give the grits any more than 396, as the subtraction was cor- We still ho] ito the number 486 as

rect. added by the Conservatives at the prelim- inary revision.

As regards the removals at the preiimin-

revision, we have not counted the number then removed by both parties, nor But we have care fully gone over the applications and find that the Conservatives removed 317, ae stated, and we assumed that the total num- ber of removals, as given by the Patriot,

was correct, and then "gave the grits the

| bal Le yalance,

The Patriot challenges Tus Examiner to show that the grits have made a mis- take in any court, “except, perhaps, at Donagh.” We shall their work in detail at any court, but with pleasure we give the work done at the final revision by the Conservatives at each

not attempt to give

ment made in our issue of the 4th inst.

As tothe statement that many objec tions were taken by the Conservatives to many geod voters, we absolutely deny this charge. The Conservatives are quite willing to have every application to add and to remove made by them, both at the preliminary and final revision, searched closely, and do not fear the result. We verv much doubt if the grits will be will ing to have the same done with theirs.

It will be observed that the Conservative gain of 107 votes in the revisien for East Queen’s ie obtained by accepting the Patriot’s figures in the main, regarding the work of the grits. It is more than likely that the figures would shrink considerably under a close examination. In the terri- tory nowembraced in East Queen’s, the Conservatives had a majority of about 100 at the last Dominion election. We believe the gain in the revision is nearer 200 than 100. These figures, along with the an- doubted gain in eentiment to the Conserva- tives, make East Queen’s a hard place for a grit candidate. It is therefore not much wonder that the grits should quarrel among ahemselves as to who should go as sheep to the slaughter.

A DEFENCE THAT 1S NOT A DEFENCE.

Tue Grit evening organ of yesterday Je votes two dreary columns to defence of the representatives of Belfast and Murray Har- bor in 1872 and to jealous detraction of Senator Ferguson’s speech in the Senate on the claims of P. E. Island. Shorn of all its verbiage, the plea set up for Messrs. Laird, Davies & Co., is that if they had stood up for justice to their constituents in 1872, and built fifty-five miles of rail- way to Murray Harbor, the Island’s ac- count at Ottawa would at the time of union be $876,020 less favorable to us than itthen stood. Just so; and the same account would have been $328,237 more favo rable to the Jsland if the fifty-two miles of the Souris and Tignish branches, had not been built! Yet the men who are now asking Belfast and Murray Harbor to trust them actually built the brancaes East and West, at the expense of the peo- ple of Belfast and Murray Harbor, with out insisting on railway facilities for their own constituents. Ifa regard for the Pro- vincial finances was the supreme consider- ation in 1872, it would have prevented the construction of the Souris snd Tignish branches as well as of a railway to Murray Harbor. But the Eastern and Western branches were built, and not the southern one, because the Lairds and the Davieees could not continue to hold offive without the support of the members for Tignish and Souris. It was assumed by these men, perhaps not without good reason, that the men of Belfast and Murray Harbor were such slaves to party that they could be “kicked, cuffed and disrespected” with imn- purity. But weak as is the organ’s de- fence of Messrs. Laird and Davies, it dwindles into positive puerilitv when it criticises Senator Ferguson’s speech, and tries to belittle the effect produced. The Patriot says :

“He (Senator Ferguson) is interrupted sixteen times by his tory compatriots while pleading that justice be done tu his native province.”

We have looked over Hansard and we find that with the exception of one remark, all the interuptions in a speech which oc- cupied twenty-three double pages of the Senate Hansard were in the way of in- quiry and assistance and not in any sense contradictory of any stand taken by the the epeaker. Nothing shows more clearly that the friendly nature of the interrup- tions, in which the Liberal Senators joined,

_ a <n

that the Senator carried the | with him,

entire House

as wel] as the press and the Government.

It may be is nevertheless equally culpable, that the Patriot entirely misrepresents Senator Ferguson in a most important particular. Here are its words:

“The tories, Senator Ferguson says, expended $253,683,404 more upon public worka onthe mainland than was taken into consideration when the terms of our admission were agreed upon.

Now these figures are nearly double those given by the Senator in this connec- tion and it is absolutely incorrect to allege, as the organ does, that “ tories ” made all the expenditure, The slovenly nature of the Patriot's figures would almost lead te the conclusion that they were concected by the same genius who made the extraor- dinary blunder of over $20,000,000 in the Minute of Council of the 1893, aad which

has made our bombastic Premier a laugh-

now famous

Peters Government in

ing stock with the Government at Ottawa.

sentences reminds us

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

—Storm upon the heels of storm! There will be good weather after the grit coaven tion.

—A very inieresting sketch of the life of SireMfacKenzie Bowell is published in Tag B€awiner of to-day. Read it.

—It is pleasing to learn that Mr. Laur- ier will not be able much longer to “beat about the bush” in res bto the Manitoba School diffisulty. Witthégign, or will he refuse to sign, the Cathonee petition ? The country is concerned in knowing definitely what course he aid his party willtake as to the powers vested in the Dominion Par- liament of granting “remedial legislation” to the minority in Manitoba. Therefore, the result of the effort which is to made on the 18th inst., to persuade him to sign the petition will be awaited with great in- terest.

(RITERS TO THE EDITOR,

os

Is IT A BRIBE,

Sir,—The editor of the Guardian does not reason correctly when he says that be cause the grit Mercier method of build- ing railways, as_exemplified in the Baie de Chaleur scandals; was really a monstrous

bribery of the people with their own money, that therefore the building of the

Southport-Murray Harbor railway, as ad

vocated by Conservatives, is the offering of a _ bribe to East Queens. A moment’s consideration will

show the fallacy of such a conclusion. The Government of Canada, being repre sentative in its form, each member of thre House ia returned to Parliament aa the re- presentative of the wishes of the majority of voters in an electoral division. These wishes are expressed by a candidate's plat form before an election, and as.the expon- ent ef that platform he goes to Ottawa. It is useless to argue that becamse an advan- tage is offered, that, thereforé, that advan- tage is a bribe, because by that reasoning a person holding tothe Guardian’s views

regarding free-trade @pd the taxa- ation of unearned ine at could not appeal to the Pedplé' A that light, Betau-e

he would be attempting to bribe them by showing how he could improve their con- dition and make them richer. The Guar- dian practically admits that a railway ought to be built to Murray Harbor, hence the question of unnecessary expendtture of public money is eliminated. Why, there- fore, should not this proposed railway be a plank in a pclitical platform, and be a matter which the people can make a choice about next election ? Osserver, o-oo

MIDWINTER WEDDING IN SUMMER- SLIDE,

An interesting event took plance at St. Paul’s Church on Tuesday, the 5th inst., when Miss Lucy ’Connor, one of Sum- merside’s fair daughters, was united in marriage to Mr. John McKenna, of this city, well-known as the popular and oblig- ing baggagemaster of the steamship North- umberland. The marriage ceremony was performed by the resident pastor, the Rev. D. J. G. McDonald. The bride looked charming in her neatand well chosen attire, and was supported by her sister, Miss Fannie O’Connor, whilst Mr. Thomas Power, of this city, acted as groomseman. The nuptial knot being duly tied. the wed- ding party drove to the residenee of the bride’s father, where the newly married couple received the congratulations of their friends, and were made the recipients of many beautiful and valuable presents. Tue Examiner offers its congratulation:,and wishes Mr. McKenna and his fair~ partner omeet? and prosperous voyage through ife.

Wateprroofed goods usually have a seedy dusty look which repels all people of taste. They are either rubber, and then you are suffucated with yourown vapors, or the chemical process used stamps them as waterproofs in appearance. Priestley’s Cravenette waterproofed dress gcods are absolutely indistinguishable from the non- waterproofed goods a peculiar and import- ant merit which no other waterproofed goods possess, They may be had im the newest fabrics, and though they are perfect- ly rainproof, there is nothing whatever to indicate jt. Perfectly porous and non- odorous Cravenette, exactly meets the need for rainproof garments which can equal in beauty the finest materials.
