| HUMBUGGING THE PEOPLE.

‘T kind of humbug does very | well among a certain class of people; but mass of the people of Prince Ed- Island are beginning to understand |

agitation for the construction of | a public work immediately preceeding an 1 18 not likely to be geauine.”

the large ward

tnat an

rhe above is from a speech made by Sir |

Louis Davies in the House of Commons in

11895. If the people of P. E. Island had |

|

reason; In 1895, to doubt the genuineness of

promises regarding public works made on

the eve of an election, they have much

| | i i

stronger grounds for such doubt at the present time. Take Summerside | Harbor Works for example. Some of

the leading men of Summerside were dis- atisfied, in 1896, with the inaction of the Conservative Government, and believed the | eolemn promises of the Grits thatif they were returned to power these works would be vigorously prosecuted. The votes and ‘nfluence of the Summerside men having |

been

secured, Sir Louis has played fast ! loose with the question ever since.

and Immediately before the bye-election in West Prioce $30,000 were placed in the

estimates for Summerside Harbor and |

tenders called for,—but no contract was made. Then immediately before the bye. election in East Prince, the $30,000 having been voted, tenders were again called ; but no contract was entered into. The people | of Summerside have been deliberately hum bugged

The action of the present Government regarding the Belfast railway is auother instance of deliberate humbug. Sir Louis Davies solemnly promised the people, at Murray:River, in 1896, that his party would build the Southere Railway with the cross

Pee

jine via Montague bridge Four sessions of Parliament have since been held, and | over thirty millions of dollars voted for railways and canals in otber parts of Can- ala,—but it is only now, on the eve of elections, that a show is being made of carrying out a partof the work.

The notice calling for bears the same date as the announcement of the dey for holding the elections. It is easy to call tor tenders. It is easy to send Mr. Sharp round the country dicker- ing with the people about the compensa- tion for land which may not be finally taken, aud which certainly will noi be reqaired until next spriog.

Remember Summerside harbor.

DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE.

Tue Patrict objects fo the use by Tue Examiser of the figure of Dr. Jeykll and Mr. Hyde. It seems to think that the public and official conduct of members of the Government is not to be compared.with it, and declares that THe Examiner in~ dulges in “low personaltiee.” If the case referred to by Tae Examiner does not quite fit the figure, perhaps the following will: A certain prominent and scrupu- lous politician high up in the church and a leader of all temperance movements, was atked to support a bill which provided that all liquor dealers should deposit $200 with the City Clerk and eo furm & guaran- tee fundto ensure for the enforcement of

of little more than $100,000 was ruinous ; and that ends must be made to meet, and would be made meet when his party got in. In consequence of this declaration, his party was given a trial. Ever since, 'he public expenditures have been increased, while the debt which was about $100,000 is now about $600,008,

This politician, we say—we shall not mention names lest we be charged with indulging in “low personalities’—has ex- hibited the characteristics of Dr. Jeykil His virtues are not, per- haps, so high as thosé of the doctor or his offences quite so diabolical ag those of Mr. Hyde. Bat hemay properly be compar- ed with the curious character described by the graphic pen of Stevenson,

A double-dyed politician such as this ie, we submit, not the man to be continued in control of the public business of the country.

WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.

Sir Louis Daviee’ ext) aordinary tour and speeches throughout Belfast and Murray Harbor have arrested the attention of the press elsewhere. For example, the St. Joho Sun says:

“Where is this imperial statesman now?

He is making a despicable little campaigze |

in a provincial bye-election in his own pro viace. The people of the Island are tired of the poor apology they have for a local government. The government itself has been in a state of panic for months,and has been keeping itself out of the coffin by refusing to bold elec- tions to fillthe vacant seats. Premier Farquharson has at last sent for the minister of marine, who is using his power as a federal minister to buy and bully the people into supporting a provincial government which they despise, The constituency in which Sir Lovis is holding his daily meetings is on the line of railway which parliament has authoriz- ed the government to build. The railway connects with Charlottetown by a bridge, for which also _ parliament has made provision. Now Sir Louis has come home frem taiking with ambacsadors to frighten the farmers. He tells them that they will not get bridge or railway unless they vote iu a provincial election as he dictates.”

The Moncton Times remarks :

“ Sach a use of the power of the Dom- inion Government in a provincial contest is without a parallel in the history of this country. Gritism must be on its laet legs indeed, im the island prov'nce, when Sir Lonis finds it neces-ary to resort tothe threat that @ province waving a Conserva~ tive local Government will not get from the Liberals at Ottawa public works to which it is entitled and may even be de- prived of works for which money has al-
