Attack upon the Government.

The Herald's Dominion

Car Examiner owes the Jerald an | apology()) for misapprehending its mean- | ing, and(2) for using language which the editor of the /lera/d “cannot quite under- stand.” The first error would not probably have been committed had we hada week to ponder over the //erald’s remarks ; nor would the second error, which is worse than the first, nave occurred could we have spared two long columns to the question which the Herald has raised. With this apology we must couple the

regret that it is necessarv to defend the!

present Domivion Government against an attack of the Charlottetown Jerald.

in making the defence of the Govern ment which the Herald has necessary, we shall try not to be guilty of the very gross impertinence of ticket- ing the gentlemen who hold office as “Catholic” or “Protestaat.” For, what have the press or the community to do with the religion of the officials, more than with the food they eat or the dress they wear, or anything else pertaining to their personal affairs ?

The Herald's pretence that there is a “certain clique’ which misleads the Gov- ernment with respect to appointments in this Province is rather pitiful. Whether it exists, or does not exist, the Govern- ment is responsible. Everyone knows that. The Herald's attack is, therefore, an uttack upon the Government; and the excuse that itis misled by a clique is rather an insult to the Government, than a paliation of the offence with which the Government is charged.

Now, the charge is that Catholics in this Province are ostracised from official life.

*‘How does it happen,” asks the Herald, **that Catholics are almost universally ex- claded from lucrative or prominent posi- tious? They comprise fully two-thirds of the Conservative party, and yet they are never thought of unless when subordinate places, that few else would accept, are to be given away. It has been the same ever since Confederation, and it will continue the same in the future unlesss strong ,and honest resentment be manifested towards those who are to blame for this cffensive ostraciere.”

The esteemed head of the Post Office Department in this Province, the In- spector of Weights and Measures for this Province, the County Court Judges | of Prince and King’s Counties in this Province—all appointed by the Liberal! Conservative party on the eve of Con- federation, or subsequent to Confedera- tion—are living evidences of the injustice of this charge. In the Audit Office two of the four officials are, we believe, Qatholics; in the Post Offlee about helf the officials are Catholics; and iv the Custom House there are, we believe, several Catholics. They hold their posi- tions not because they are Catholics, but by a tenure much more creditable to them as officials and men—because they are fit for the positions they hold.

Tue Examiner is charged by the Herald with insulting Catholics in taking advantage of the opportunity which the Herald afforded of asserting the sound, safe, and just principle, that appoiutments should be made independ- ently of religious considerations. But we think that it is the Herald which— unintentionally no doubt--offers the insult. Catholics do not claim office because they are Catholics, or becau-e Catholics compose the larger proportion of the Liberal-Consevative. Party, but because they merit, in their own persons and characters, the positions which#hey seek ; and the ovly inference to be drawn from the contention of the Herald, is insulting to their intelligence.

We are not aware that any Catholic felt aggrieved when Mr. Haviland was appointed tothe high office to which he was so justly entitled, and tor which he was so well fitted. We are not aware that any Catholic had a right to expect an appointment to the Bench of the Supreme Court for any vacancy which

has heretofore occurred. The only Judicial appointment made since the present Goveroment was formed, was

that. of a Catholic. Catholics who have been candidates for office under the present Government have not, in any single instance, been unsuccessful on account of their religion. Let the Herald name ove. To make good the ground it bas taken, it must do so,

The Herald also charges that Tux

THER DAI

also know, aod are eagerly watching for almost the ouly chauce of driving the Liberal-Conservative Party from power that can posssibly arise for many years. To provoke a division of Protestants from Catholics, is therefore ‘“ eminently injudicious from a Party standpoint ;” and in dragging the question of religion into a discussion arising out of the appointment of an official, it is the | Herald, and not Tux Examiner, that has | blundered.

When we consider the disastrous result ‘a religious division would certainly bring ‘upon the Government led by the Hon. |W. W. Sallivan,the blunder of the Herald \is the more apparent. Here we have at | the present time a Government led in the | best interests of the country by a Catho- ‘lie gentlemen, and supported, on grounds altogether removed from religion, by a | very large majority of Protestant repre- | seutatives, and by all the Liberal-Con- ‘servatives of the Island, But raise a religious agitation—aod Mr. Suilivan’s administration could nct possibly hold together during a single session !

The interests of the Herald, the inter- ests of the Catholics, the interests of the Liberal-Conservative Party, the interests of the whole Province, lie in the direction of a strict adherence to the principle laid down by Tue ExamtNer—the principle enunciated by Sir Hector Langevin, in his speech at Souris, where he said,—

‘*T would like all men to understand that in this Dominion all stand upon the same common ground, without respect either to creed or nationality.”

We have spoken out the more plainly on this subject from the fact that THe EXAMINER is above ‘the suspicion of opposition to the best interests of Catholics. Every Catholic reader Fof Tae ExaM'NER knows that we are en-

|tirely devoted to the promotion of his

interests, because we are entirely devoted to the promotion of the interests of the Province at large.

Confirmation at Souris.

A correspondent at Souris writes (July 11) :—St. Mary’s @atholic Church witnessed a soleman and inspiring scene to-day. Four hundred and eighteen candidates knelt to receive Confirmation at the hands of the venerable Lord Bishop of Charluttetown. The large number Confirmed is in a great measure due to the blessing of the Mission. The result to many will be eternally bene-

ficial. The Church was crowded during the religious ceremonies this morning.

Old men and women, young men and maidens, all mingled together at the foot of the Altar, as each in their order were pre- sented solemnly before it. Ali the candi- dates were seated in the bedy of the Church ; the males were presented first, then the females. To-night closes the Mission, but the good work accomplished is everlasting.

The whiskey men of the United States are in despair. The production of that liquor has for some time exceeded the con- sumption and a very large quantity has been lying in bond for nearly three years. which is the extreme limit of time that it is al- lowed to remain in bond without payment of duty. The whiskey men thought that by exporting their stocks to Bermuda and then bringing it back again, they could re- enter it in warehouse and obtain a further extension of time for the payment of the duty. The Attorney-General of the United States has, however, given the Secretary of the Treasury an opinion to the effect that such an exportation would not bring the whiskey within the meaning of the three years law. Hence these tears.

Examiner's article was emivently iv- judicious from a Party stand-point.y Now Tue Examiner's article contained | simply a friendly comment upon what! we believed to be the Herald's retirement | from an untenable position, an assertion of a right principal, and a quiet) hint to the Herald—which we all know is | young and somewhat ivexperienced in| the politics oe Province. But that! which was iuf€nded as a hint has been coustrued as a menace. The history of this Province proves conclusively that divisions of Catholics from Protestants in the political field, invariably end in disaster to the Catholics. That is a fact —a fact which a journal in the interests cf Catholics should be the jast to over- look or forget.

The New York Herald of Saturday say: The big Anchor line steamer “City of Rome” began, with the conclusion of the voyage cf Friday, a chapter of fast records. The voyage of Queenstown to Sandy Hook was made in seven days and four hours, actual time, in spite of a delay caused by eighteen hours of half speed due to fogs. She arrived at the bar at seven o'clock on Thursday in the midst of a heavy fog, and Captain Munro, mindful of his unfortunate

come in until yesterday morning. Some of the officers of the ‘City of Rome” say that she can goa great deal faster than she has yet been driven, and that, in fact, she is the finest ship afloat.

The Alexandria Massacre. !

Less thaa two months AZO, Dulelaaa ! Sami and other so-called conspirators, | suffered death, because it was alleged they | were the authors of the Alexandria con- |} flagration and massacres. At that time, | Lord Randolph Churchill, and he was not alone, denounced, most vigerously, the execution of these men, declaring that it was through the agency oi the Khedive the massacres were perpetrated, This, Mr. Gladstone proclaimed to be a tremendous charge, that his govcrnment had no knowl- edge of it, but that it was not for him to say the statement was untrue. Accordingly the following letter was sent to Mr. Gladstone by Lord Randolph Churchill:

2, Connavent Prace, June 16, 1883.

Dear Sir, —I have the honor to acknow- ledge the receipt of your letter of this day’s date, encouraging me to proceed with eonfi- dence in the disinterested impartiality of her Majesty’s Government in the course which I commenced so long ago as May 11, when, in the House of Commons, I charged the Khedive of Egypt with being the real author of the massacres at Alexandria on June 1). 1882.

Were Lin the habit of arriving at precipi- tate conclusions | might, perhaps, imagine that the expression in your letter ‘‘that in aay step the Government may take they will have due regard to the position of the Khedive as ruler of Egypt” was to be in- terpreted as meaning that Her Majesty’s tiovernment would endeavor to hush up or conceal apy great crime of which the Khedive might be in danger of being proved guilty, but not only would such a supposition be entirely at variance with

those principles always recognized by the English people, which have guided you through so many years of

public life, but it is also completely refuted by the sentence which immediately follows, to the effect that Her Majesty's Government will also have due regard ‘* to the responsibilities under which they lie with reference to the peace and welfare of that country ”— words which, to my mind, show beyond all doubt that you and your colleagues are fully alive to the odious possibility of maintaining on the throne of Egypt, by the aid of British troops, a man who could be proved guilty of having suc- cessfully plotted the massacre of numbers of the Queen’s subjects, in order that he might therby more effectually compass the ruiu of a popular Minister.

I tind that on May 11th I am thus re- ported in the Times newspaper :—‘‘ It was stated, and that statement could be sub- stantiated, that Omar Lufti, present Minister of War, who was Governor of Alexandria at the time of the massacres of June Lith, was the agent of the Khedive in getting up that massacre It was a palace intrigue on the part of the Khedive and Omar Lufti for the purpose of injuring Arabi Pasha. Arabi Pasha had said that he wovld preserve order ; but, to bring him into collision with foreign Powers and to show that he was udable to preserve order, Omar Lufti was employed as agent of the Khedive to concoct these massacres.”

I find, farther, that on June 9 I am thus reported in the Times newspaper :—*‘ He was not going to prejudice the case of the National party in the case of Arabi Pasha or the ease of the unfortunate Suleiman Sami, who was under sentence of death, by putting what decuments he possessed be- fore the House at the present time. The charge to be made, and which he believed he could substantiate, was that the author of the massacre at Alexandria was the Khedive, the puppet and ally of the Gov- ernment, ‘ * ‘* There were other facts all tending in the same direction, and con- stituting a long chain of circumstantial evidence, connecting the Khedive, as it ap- peared to him, directly with the maasacre of British subjects at Alexandria.”

Lord Churchill thus summarizes Mr. Gladstone’s reply to these charges.

1. That { had made a tremendous charge.

2. That you declined to say that it was untrue.

3. That in your opinion I was to blame for not having earlier brought the matter to the notice of Her Majesty’s Government (an error which-I am now endeavoring to repair).

4. That the charge having been made by a member of the Honge ef Commons it be- came the duty of the Government to enquire into it. :

5. That on my placing in your hands definite matters of fact it was the duty of the Government to make ‘‘the best ex. amination in their power.” (That is, of course, a strictly judicial examination, for obvionsly an examination which was not judicial would not be ‘ the best examin- ation.’’)

6. That the member making such a charge incurred an immense responsibility.

Moreover, I feel the utmost confidence that, having under your protection, as leader of the House of Commons, the dig- nity and honor of that assembly, you would not suffer that a member of Parliament shonld be open to the imputation of having incurred an immense responsibility by making tremendous charges without his being given every facility for justifying his action.

Under these circumstances I have the honor to inform you that I will, within the course of a few days, and with as little de- lay as possible, forward to you a circnm- stantial indictment of the Khedive of Egypt on the charge of being the author of the massacres at Alexandria, on June 11, 1882, based on evidence which has been offered, and I will be prepared to co,operate to the utmost extent of my resources in bringing bifore you such witnesses as may be thought necessary to establish the truth of the said indictment.

I beg to remain, yours faithfully,

(Signed) Ranpoieu 8. CourcHiit,

The Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, M. P., &e.

P. S.—In the event of not hearing farther from you prier to your receipt of the ccenment which I purpese sending to you, I shall conclude that you have no objection to ny communicating this cor- respondence to the public throvgh the medium of the press,
