NOTES AND COMMENTS, |

ee

Jp connection with its comments upon ihe results of the Belfast and Murray Har- bor election#, the Summerside Joureal is eevere upon Sir Louie Davies. It eaye : “But to no man does the result bring more pumiliation aod chagri ’ than te Sir Louis H. Devies, who made the fight his own. He afforded the extreordinary epec- tecle of a Dominion cabi set minis er neg- jecting hos duties at Otrawa,and deteend- ing into the arena «ft local bye-clectione, abere, in country scheol houses, he spent dsy after day in haranguing, pleading, coaxing, threatening, intunidatiog and premiring; but all to no purpose, and the electors threatened hie bluster and braggedocio as it deserved by voting

inet the moribund party be did hie at- most to bolster up. It wae a lesson that h will not seon forget, and it must make him feel a little dubious about bis ewn seat when the general election comes en.”

Lecture of Mr. T. O. James on the Events Which Culminated at Omdurman.

The large attendance at St. James’ Hal! last evening ehowed the interest of tne more intelligent of the community in the Soudes and its setUemens, and wae a {it- ling tribute toa lecturer whom a Char: loitetown audience siways hears with pleasure and profit. Mr, James’ leeture was a clear exposition of the conditioas in the Soudan causing the recent war which ended in the savguinary battle cf Omdurman. His hero was Lord Kitchene:, of whon) @ grapbic deseription was given; aod reference was incidentally made to a!l

charge of Mr. A. E. Morrison. Mr. James’ perorainion in full:

“And now the task, which I set before my-elf is accomplished, snd the lecture would naturally close bere; Lut in view of the fact (hat my hero has been called to the high position of Chief ot Steff to Lord Roberte, Commander-io Chief in Scuih Africa,u few words in reference to the preeent crisis may not be out of place. ‘To me the saddest phase is the depressed faces abd drject-d look of Britons over a few trifling reverses. We have lost, it is eaid, good men since the begiuning of tie war. Why, we have often lost far more in a single engagement. We live under- vaiued our enemies—-ard have euff-red for it. When d.d Britain ever do otherwise ? But the resources of the Empire are un- touch«d, and it always needed a reverse or two to route the fighting blood of the British. We are slow to anger—bat when the nation is aroused thereis no task too difficult for ue. Today, girt about by her loyal coimies, she is stronger far than when, in the early days of the preset century, she faced a world in arms and wreeted victory out of the jaws of defeat. Let ue be our resolute calmness and stead-~ fast trust in cur leaders, and above all in our eoldiers, who bave shown today, us always, tbat a British bayonet charge is irresistible, convince the world abroad and the snarling pack of traitors—curs at home—who only yelp because they know that Britwia in her might diedains to heed them - ure the sons of the men who wre~+i h-+ces re of the world from uti Fraoce and placed Britain ia ihe peeriess po-ition which she bolds to- day.

It ig not neces*ary to assume the role of a prophet t» declare that the war can only have one end—the bestowal of absolute freedom upon all classes throughout South Africa, aod tbe eetablishment there of a great confederacy, the southern terminus of the great African railway,--the north- ern part of which played such ao impor- tant part inthe events we have been par- rating. The day is not far distant when from Khartoum to Cape Town a line of British flags will fleat, and around them gathered a conievted loyal people who will voice the feeling of their hearts as we do tonight in closing when we sing God Save the Queen.”

Mail and Empire: Mr. Sifton made the Manitoba contest and was defeated. Sir Louis Davies mixed his Federal! poli- tice with local Privce Edward Island politics, and he is defeated aleo. Premier Farqubarson has been invited to follow Premier Greenway,

Torento Telegram: Victory may bea lit:le slow in coming, but ie that a reason why wov British journal should assume that this war is the personal eftair of Joseph Chamberlain ? It was not in the power of Mr. Chamberlain or an’ other single individual in the British Empire to muke war or preserve peace. This war ia a people’s war and & righteous war, and the people who made it must calmly abide the issue without trying to transfer their share of the responsibility to the shoulders or Joseph Chamberlain.

Hamilton Spectator : The result of the election in Manitoba has opened the eyes of one French Canadian journal to the folly of making race a factor io the poli- tics of the Dominion of Canada. Both Canadian political parties are to blame for making too much of the French in Que- bec These have held tne balance of power in Canada for many years; but it remained for the libera! party to put tiem in sole contro! of the whole machinery 0. the government. So strong has tke French ideataken hold of the Quebec people that Sir Wilfrid Laurier, wno ought to be a Canadian and nothing else, and his dictator, Mr. Tarte, who doesn’t seem iv be able to be a Canadian, have seldom, during the last two or three years, been able to make a public speech without proclaiming the fact that they are Frencb. Sir Wilfrid tells people that bis heart is with France: Mr Tarte comes back from France and proclaims that he is ‘‘more French than ever:” Sir Wilfred works the race racket in Quebrc for all it is wort, and Mr. Tarte goes sailing up and down the St. Lawrence river with the French tricolor fidating over his French head. Aud if any ordinary English- speaking Canadian daree to protest against this French business he is promptly jumped upon and accused of ‘ dragging 10° the race cry into Canadian politics .” er hat a
