“HONOR TO WHOM HONOR”.

‘per this headiag, the Patriot“ heart- 7” = . ’ ‘ ily seconds *the suggestions of The Guar-

dian that a public reception be giyen to

Sir Louis Davies, “of a purely non- political character.” Are we vo assume

that the Liberal party organs here speak for the party here and that the Liberal Party have declined to honor Sir Louis with a party reception? The Patriot refers to the example of Ottawa in respect to Sir Wilfrid Laurier. It is well known that the public of Ottawa came to the rescue after Sir Wilfrid’s party declined to ex- pend the money which a reception would cost. Perhaps the Guardian and the Patriot fear alike result of an appeal to the party here on behalf of Sir Louis! The Patriot refers to the eloquence of Sir Louis ; but it fails to point out that which he has done for this community by means of his eloguence. Certainly he has not succeeded in obtaining reciprocity, seeing that we now have the Dingley tariff with jts most oppressive restrictions. Nor have we been provided with means of overcom- ing the difficulties thus placed in the way

of our trade. We have not yet direct steamship commanication with Great Britain. We have nos

yet cold storage. The assistance ren- dered by the Conservative Government in the development of our cheese industry has been withdrawn. The appeals of Messrs. Martin and McDonald, ia Parlia- ment for the construction of the Southern Railway have been refused. Our position, from the public point of view, has not been improved in any particular by means of the eloquence of Sir Louis, or his presence in the Government, or his visit to Great Britain. Perhaps it is tor this reason that the Patriot omitted from its quotation, “‘ Honor to whom Honor” the words “1s pug” without utterly meaningless, We entertain for Sir Louis a high personal regard and shall give him a hearty welcome home. But we entertain, also, the opinion that he has already had as much honor from the public as is his due. Indeed, the indebted- far at

has

which

ness seems, just now, ‘o be, in so least as this community is concerned, upon his side. Perhaps those who bave been made rich by the Liberal Government may entertain a different opinion, and may put their bands in their pockets for tha money required to provide a public re-

ception.

MEANING OF THE DECISION.

Tue Halifax Herald sums up the meav- ing of the decision of the Crown Law Officers in fourfparagraphs as follows :

1. The decision means that for over three months past—fr>»m Apri] 23rd on- ward—the Laurierite government have been violating, and declaring their deter- mination to violate, some two dozen British Imperial treaties, including the German treaty, the Belgian treaty, and every otber British commercial treaty coutaining the “‘tavored nation clause.” It goes without eaying that this is a very serious matter, a matter touching the national honor, @ proceeding involving an international offence against which all British history ie a protest, for if there is one thing more than another about which Great Britain has always been punctillious it is the faithful observance of ali ber treaty obligations. The Laurier‘tes have been the first to puta stain on this fair page of British history; but of course the British government will be prompt to have due reparation made.

2. This decision means that this viola- tion of treaties would, according to the

law, have had to coatinue had it not bea, for the streruous and suc— cessful efforte of the Liberal—Conser-

vative Opposition during the late ses- sion, or an extra session of parliament would have been immediately neces- sary, or the Queen in Council woli have had to veto the Canadian tarift act! Such was the blind, headlong course the Grit ministers were pur- suirg And such a course they held to tur Over a month after the tariff was brought down, till by persistent and repeat- (d efforts on the part «f Sir Charles ‘Lupper and other Liberal-Conservatives it was made so plain that some provision should be made for the observance of Im-

kinds of accidents

tt ¢ sa

it is }

perial obligations, that the government, thoug@ still protestihg that toere was no need of it, added the following clause : “That the Governerin-Counvi! may extend the benefits of. such reciprocal tariff te any conetry which may be entitled thereto by Virtu® of any treaty with her M ; aty.? tiad it not been for that clause added after a month's argument and urging by opposition, the treaty violation would have had to continue, tilithe act was vetoed by the Queen-in-Council, or modi- fied at a new session of our parliament. Of course the treaty violation could not be suttered to continue, and the Grit govern- ment would hasten to avoid the Imperia! veto of their tariff, by

calling extr

to the the thanks of the country for saving

| parliament.

3. In the third place this decision mean- that there is no British Preferential Trade uoder the Grit teriff. If the Laurierite. ever intended, either before introducing their tariff or afterwards, to estabiis! British Preferential Trade by their “‘freci- procal clause,” then it is plain that they have made a complete failure. But ‘they | have done more—they have not on!v fa led to establish British Preferential Trade, but they have outwitted themselves and ex- posed Canadian industry to the competi- tion of alot of foreign countries, without any r ciprocal return, contrary to their declared intention and contrary to the Lest interests of this country. No woader the Grit apologists bave nothieg to say about this procession of failure that bas set in upon their “reciprocal clause,” concerning which afew weeks ago they were ringing bells and blowing trumpets.

}

4. And finally thie decision means that British Preferentin] Trade is sitll a thing of the future, and that it can

only be brought about in that order of

events which «the British Empire League and the Liberal-Conservatives

said must be followed and which ‘they

have accordingly advocated—tirst the denunciation of all opposing treaties, and then the establishment of British Preferential Trade, with a strong emphasis on both “British” and ‘Pre-

terential-” That is the Liberal-Coaserva- tive programme. The firet step has been taken in this year of Jubilee. The second part will come io due time. Any system, or so-called system, or &0-called svstem, that does not duly empbasize doth “British” and **Preferential,” will be use- less, and therefore merely transitory. If the Grit government want to avoid further failure, they will, as soon as parliament aseembles, have simply to undo all they have done. That is just how complete a failure the Grit “reciprocal clause” has proved.

The second of these paragraphs is worthy of special attention. It is there shown that but for the strenuous criticiem of the Opposition in Parliament and the amendment resulting therefrom, the viola tion of the treat'es could not have been stopped except by the veto of the Queen or at another meeting of Parliament. Sir Charles Tupper, Mr. Foster and their sup- porters rendered the Government and the country a great service when they succeed- ed in hindering somewhat the headlong

career of the Ministry and in modifying the terms of the Reciprocal clause.

—In the course of an interview with the Manchester Guardian (Aug. 2) Professor Robertson pointed out that, proportionate- ly, Canada lays out more of the money taken for food supplies from Britain in Britain again than any other country. “Weare,” he said, “a developing land, and you know our people; and as the Northwest is opened up we want more machinery, more textiles, more of your manufactures ofall kinds, Ido not say that actually we spend s larger sum with you thau any other country, but, propor- tionally to what we take, wedo. —_ Britain is now favored by our commercial treaty aS regards our imports, and the value of that is emphasized by the passing of the new United States tariff, which affects us as weil as you adversely.”

ST, PETER’SSCHOOL,

Additions and Improvements,

Among the various sigos of progress and improvement in Charlowetown, during the present summer, it is pleasing to re- port upon the healthy expansion of a firetrate private school. Vur public schools are very good and are kept upto a high standard of excellence. But of course, in the crowdel state of many of the burldings it is impossible for pupils to obtain that intimate oversight and indivi- dual attention from their teachers which is always of so much value in a well-con- ducted private school, and which always terds to form that healthy tone of conduct the

anguage as“honorable.”

During the holidays work has been con- (inuously progressing in allering and en- larging the buildings of St. Peter’s Cathe- dral schools. Twonew class rooms and a large guid for the use of the various church society meetings are being built. A large class room for the girl’s +chool is arranged with high lights in the south side so that the light will fall over the left side of the pupilsas they are seated at their de-ks. This is now considered the very best possible mode of lightivg a schoviroom. Mach of the short-sighted- and defective evesight of many children ix pow consideredto be due to the bad arrangement of cross lights under which they are very often placed.

A rearrangement of heating is to be carried out and a very effective system of ventilation placed in the main hall and classrooms, Change< are being made in the entrance to the By moving the sexton’s house, a Spacious approach from Rochford Square is obtained which when sodded and graded will be very attractive.

In the main hall, the old partitions are being taken away and the large guild-room will be connected by open arches, so. that that a very comfortable and well ventilated audience chamber will be fuund capable

of seating tour hundred persons. An ample and well arranged stage with

beautiful scenery will be a feature of the main hall which, when completed and decorated, W.ll provably be the best hail in the city for @ imoderate-s.zed audience. It is proposed to hold, during the ensuing winter,aseries of high-cla+s entertainments and as the acoustic properties of the new hall promise to be excellent, lovers of really good music may look forward to

many enjoyable meetings in the near future. It is proposed gradually to obtain

etchings antotypes or wood engravings of the best examples of really good works of art and hang them on the decorated walls ot the various rooms, and thus, by continu- ously surrounding the pupils with objects of beauty, to create and developin their minds the sensations of taste and culture.

The contract of alterations and additions is being carried out by Mr. Heury Rack- bem, under the supervision of Mr. w., Harrie, je’, architect.
