Canada occupies the same relation tow ards the British authorities as the Lieutenant- Governor of the Province occupies towards

the Dominion authorities. Now section 55

reads as follows

** Where a Bill p»ssed by the Houses of the Parliament is presented to the Governor Gen2ral for the Queen's Aesent, he shall de clare, according to his Discretion, bat sabject *g the Provisions of this Act and to Her Majesty's lostructions, ei her that he assente thereto in the Queen's Name, or that he with holds the Queen's Assent or that he reserves the Bill for the Signitication of the Queens Pleasure.”

Further, we read in the telegram

and (2) that they

are at times ‘“‘thrown on their own dis- cretion.”

It might properly be inferred, trom the fact that Premier Peters has not resigned, that the Gerrymande: Bill was reserved by his advice. But suppose that the state ments of Mr. L. H. Davies and the Patriot are true, suppose that the Lieutenant-Gov ernor acted independently of the advice of his ministers and ‘‘ according to his disere- tion,” is it not manifest that Section 56 aod Dr. Bourinot sustain the Lieutenant Governor The fact that the reserved

bill has been returned without remark goes to show that Governor Carveil had not received any instructions in respect to it; for if such instructions had been

as set forth in section 55, and his own discretion.

True, the Provincial Administration will, as Dr. Bourinot says, have to deal with the matter, because the Dominion Administra- tion has declined to interfere in regard to questions which appertain to the Province. But, how deal with it? The constitution as interpreted by Todd and Bourinot alike, and as iilustrated by hundreds of preced- ents, declares that when

Governor takes the responsibility of reject-

a Lieutenant- ing the advice of his ministers, they are bound either to accept the responsibility of his act or resign in ordar that the matter in dispute may be referred to the people |

By remaining in office, Mr. Peters and his colleagues have prictically accepted the former alternative. But the clamor which they and their organs and friends have raised against the Lieuterant-Governor iu- dicates that they don't possess the Lieuten- ant-Governur’s confidence, and that they ought to have resignec. More than that, it indicates that another attempt will be made, at the approaching session of the Legislature, to pass the bill which the Lieutenant Governo: reserved. This will be adding outrage to outrage. A Legisla ture, in its last session, to pass a measure revolutionisinyz Constitution of the Province, gerrymandering almost the whole of King’s County, robbing hundreds of men of their franchise rights, and inflicting the mortgage vote to the confusion of every man who has, for any reason, encumbered his property,—this would be a most monstrous proceeding in a coun'ry the right of free and popular government. The people haves right to be consulted about all important constitutional changes before they are made. We hope that the people

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

the

Letter from Messrs. Prowse B: os.

Sin,--The reason we did not notice Messrs. James Paton & Co’s. first letter is,

| we believed that the public were not at ali

interested in the matter, and that it was n business of Messrs. J. Paton & Co. whether r not we were in any way connected with » business of Patton Bros. In regard t second Jetter, published in THE Exam- rvek of the 18th inst., we have this to say: Firerly, that Mr. James Paton presumes « ( he concludes that we had

in any sense strong. Secondly, we wish t take up the following extract from his let- ter of the 18:h inst. :

“We concluded that we should not allow ‘lying statements’ of that nature to pass uD noticed, and we caused the matter to be sub mitted to a few friends in the city. Our ob- ject was, firstly, to get pressure to bear upon Messrs. Patton Bros., to witndraw their libel- ous advertisement, and secondly, to make ar rangements between the merchants, whereby business notices should thereafter be free from nasty inuendo and be couched in gentle» manly language.

Now the FACTS are as follows : A meet- ing of the dry goods firms of the city was held for the purpose of promoting a better feeling among the merchants, to which meeting Mr. James Paton received an in vitation to attend, The firms represented

were Messrs. Beer Bros., W. A. Weeks &

called for the special purpose that Mr. Jas. Paton would lead the public to believe. At a subscquent meeting when Mr. Charles Patton found that he made a mistake, he made ample apology tothe firm of James Paton & Co., and Mr. James Paion, as re- representative of his firm, at this same meeting signed an agreement that saic spology should not be pablished unless published by Patton Bros. We leave the public to judge whether or not James Paton violated his agreement. We append below a letter received by Charles Patton | from James Paton, which speaks for itself : {copY.]}

|Co., Patton Bros, James Paton @ ;Co., Stanley Bros, and Prowse | Bros, and the meeting was not |

Feb. 6, 1893. Cuartes Patton, Esq ,

Dear Sir,—When arrangements were made between your firm and myself re libel made against our carpet department, I fully under- stood that your firm was going out of the car- pet busiaess. I have been informed that your partners are about to open store in the Stamp- er Block as carpet store. If such be the case, I will at once take proceedings against your firm for libel, Chas. Patton, Thos. Patton, L. E. Prowae, B. C. Prowse being all partners iu Patton Bros. firm. Yours truly,

(Sgd) Jas. Paton.

It will now be apparent to the public whom Mr. Paton was after; not Patton Bros., but Prowse Bros.

In answer to the above,Mr. Chas. Patton rote the following letter, which is liter- ally and strictly true :

{cory.] Feb. 6, 1893. James Paton Esg.,

Dear Sir,—I am! in receipt of yours of. the 6th February, and must say the contents sur- prize me beyond measure. You say that when arrangements were made between my- self and you in re alleged libel, it was under- stood by youthat my firm was going out of he carpet business, The agreement made will, I think, fully explain itself, and I am quite willing to be bound by its terms. I may aisG state that I have no intention of. going in- to any business at present time which wiil at al! conflict with you, and aleo to disabuse your mind from the mistake you have fallen into, when you state that the firm of Patton Bros, consists of myself, Thos. Patton, L. E. Prowse and Benj. Prowse. This is entirely wrong. lam the sole partner in the firm, e:d the other gentlemen named are not in any sense interested directly or indirectly as part- ners. It will, therefore, hardly be fair for you (if indeed you legally can, which I dorbt) to attempt to break through a solemn bargain made between you and me on the grounds that Messrs. Prowse Bros, may have some idea of starting a business to compete with you. It is not in my power to control them in any way, and I do rot know whether they have aay such intentions or pot, nor have I any right to enquire. Will you kindly farnish me with copies of agreements sigaed by both of us.

C. J. Patron,

Upto the present time Mr. Patton has not received any reply to the sbove letter, and the copies of the agreements asked for are not forthcoming.

After this communication, we fail to see how, in all fairness, Mr. Jas. Paton should drag our name into this connection, thus trying to injure us in the eyes of the pab- lic, and himself doing to us the same thing he accuses Messrs. Patton of doing to him. We apologise for taking up so much space, but state the simple facts as above, not be- cause we consider that anything that Mr. Jas. Paton could say about us could injure us in any way, as weare too well known throughout the length and breadih of this country. The thing that is annoying Messrs. Jas. Paton & Co., is that we do too much business to suit them, and right here we wish to advise the public that wa _ will be ‘ton deck this spring with the largest range of carpets, clothing and hats ever brought to this province.

And further, we wish to inform Mr. Jas. Paton that we will continue todo our ad- vertisng as heretofore, as it has always been our principle when we saw we could do the public good to let them know in our own peculiar way. Yours &c,

Prowse Bros.

A Question for the Telephone Co.

Sir,—As one of the public 1 am not par- ticularly interested in the disclosures of the tricks in the trade, but as a subscriber to the telephone 1 sm somewhat startled at the extraordinary disclosure made in the letter of James Paton & Co., published in your issue of Saturday. It does seem to me to be an extraordinary procedure that in a small place like Montague, where every person knows each other, a man can go in to the telephone office and send a message,

to which is attached a fictitious name ; and

then, when the receiver in reply asks the operator for the sender, he is told that he has gone home up the road, when it must be well known to the operator that such is not the fact. Surely there ought to be rome guarantee of security to receivers of mes- sayes that they are sent by genuine persona —at least that the company’s employes are not parties to a deception. How are we to act on messages unless we have confidence iu their authenticity? What has Mr, Anzus to say ¢ SUBSCRIBER;

“Church Goer” Again.

Srr,—I would not have taxed your pat- ience by attempting a reply to ‘* Metho- list,” had I not been accused by that per- son of false assertions, He must be alto- vether ignorant of what he wrote in reply ro ** Anti-Bunkum,” otherwise he would not have accused me in his reply to mine of the false assertion of facts and gross mis- representation of his utterances.

Let us look at the letter in question and see what he did say and whether I have been guilty of the charge or not. ‘Why joes not ** Anti-Bunkum” come out over his own signanature, then we would know what his opinions are worth.” ‘Methodist ” must know that these words are used to convey a meaning. If he does not, he should, before he is ‘* allowed to take part in any discussion.” Surely “Methodist” has had schoolboy experience enoughto know that such words could convey but one meaning, and that the meaning which I gave in my first reply to his, and which meaning he has been dull enough to think was intended as his words, and not the true deduction from those words, which lL imagine is plain enough for even the dullest comprehension. Now, a word of advice to ** Methodist” and 1 am done with him. Say what you mean always, and be careful ian charging another with false assertions until yeu thoroughly understand the mean- ing of that which you yourself have uttered, as you should have done in this instance.

Mr. W. C. Kennedy, of Charlottetown, is at the Halifax.—Chronicle.

Mr. C. H. Schurman returned on Saturday from his trip to the United States. He is looking exceedingly well.

Mr. D. R. Satherland, the popular young representative of Tanner & Co., Pictou, is here on a business trip: He is registered at the Hotel Davie.

Hon. Geo. Forbes, Vernon River, is regia-

red at the Queen Hotel.

Mr. J. D. Gillis, representing T. & E. Kenny, Halifax, is on a business trip to the island. He is at the Hotel Davies.

The Rev. S. James was presented with an address and a valuable pair of fur driving gloves at the close of the regular service in the charch at Stanhope on the 15th inst. A short time previous the gentlemen of the congrega- tion erected a building near the church for the use of the clergyman’s horse. Rev. Mr. James is evidently very popular with his congrega- tion.

Mr. William Brehaut, plasterer, a well known and highly-esteemed resident of Char- lottetown for many years past, left to-day for New Mexico, where he will take up his resid- ence. In the First Methodist Church yester- day afternoon the members of Mr. Full’s Bible class presented Mr. Brehaut with a very com- plimentary address. THE FXAMINER wishes Mr. Brehaut every success in his new home.

Mr. James Paton, of the firm of James Paton & Co., leaves to-morrow for the Old Country to select the firm’s stock of new and fashionable goods.

Notes and Comments.

~-We are glad to learn that the members ot the Mount Allison University ex-ension class, who passed a successful examination, have recently received their certificates from the institution. The grade given is that of a sophomore student.

—The New York Tribune of Friday, 9th, after a brief reference to the loyalty of Sir Oliver Mowatt, says :

‘*But we greatly doubt if there is another important liberal in the Dominion who would not bring his country into the union to-morrow if his single vote could do it. Opposition to the Tory government means nothing if not annexation. There is no other policy than the one inaugur- ated by Sir John Macdonald which can poss- ibly hold together the Canadian provinces. To oppose that policy, and, at the same time, to oppose annexation, is illogical and palpably insincere. When the Canadian liberals have the courage of their convictions they wi'l be effective, but it can do no good te p opose impossidilities as a substitute for the tory scheme.”

Among the gentlemen at Speaker White's dinner on Saturday night were Messrs. Temple, of York, McLean and Yeo, of P. E. Island, and Fraser, Gillies, McDonald, McKeen, Mil!, Putnam, White, Forbes and Bowers, of Nova Scotia.

There is a report current that by an agreement between the Premier and the leader of the opposition, the seasion will be brought to a close in four or five weeks; but your correspondent is in a position to state that no decision will be reached until Mr. Laurier consults his followers. It is on the cards, nevertheless, that the House may adjourn for a month, in which event Sir John Thompson will sail for Paris on the 10th of March.
