How the Account Stands.

[HERZ are pone so blind as those who will not see. The Patriot cannot under- stand the clearest proof that‘ this Province is not ‘* deeply in debt ’—that the resour- ces of the Provinceare much larger now than they were in 1878. Its editor is much per- plexed by some of the items of the account

Well, suppose wé leave the items out

Last year we received from Ottawa $193,537.20

which at 5 per cent. repre sents a capital sum of,

In 1878 we received from Ottawa $159,005.38

3,870,745:00

which at 5 percent is equal to a‘ ipital sum of

showing an increase cf capi- —————— tal amounting to _$ 690,637.40

8.180, 107.60

The account as published by Tux Ex ,MINER on Friday last was unfortunately ne or tw

marred by « » typographical errors,

but +} }

» balance as shown was not material- ly wrong.

As to the receipts of the Land Office, we have this to s Ly Both part ies used them as revenue. By the present Government they have been used for the good of the Province at large. Even the Patriot does not pretend that they have been extravagantly retained as

expended. If they had been *

capital’ we should have the money invest- ed at (say) four per cent. interest. But the Govern:.ent would, at the same time, have had te tax the people in order to make up the amount required for carrying on

the public service. The taxes could not

possibly be collected at a cost of four per cent. lf we remember rightly, (and we think we do)the cost of collecting taxes

under the (economical) Davies Government was upwards of 26 per cent. of the amount collected. @o that if the receipts of the Land Office had ‘been retained as capital, we should, it is true, have had the money in the Banks or invested elsewhere; but the people who make up the public, would have been out of pocket to their full amount,

plus tke difference between the sum received as interest and the cost of collect-

ing taxes, whatever it might be. If the the receipts of the Public Lands Office had been *“‘ retained as capital,” and taxes had, at the same time, been levied to make up the amount for use as revenue, the peo- ple of the Province would have been much worse off than they are new. Everyone will see that if. the. Government had re- tained capital and invested it at four or five per cent. interest, while they were col- lecting taxes at a cost of from ten to twenty: per cent., they would have laid themselves open to the charge of bad financing.

In round numbers 49,000,000 of people are under the sovereignity of the new Em- peror, whose power is supported by Prince Bismarck, Count Von Moltke, and a stand- ing army of 2,600,000 men, reserves which, if called into the field, would swell the army to 5,670,000 men,—and the eu- thusiastic love of his subjects.

Frederick the Third is, deservedly, the inost popular Prince in Europe. That his life should now hang on a thread, that he may, cre many weeks or months have pass- ed away, be numbered with “the great majority” is a sad prospect for the German people. Itis, under any circumstances, hard to part from those we love ; and com- plications may arise as a result of the de- cease of the Emperor, which may involve the German people ina great war. The latest advices of a trustworthy character are, however, hopeful and reassuring, The Reichsanzeiger publishes the following bulletin from:the physicians attending the Crown Prince :—

Political Notes.

There have been introduced almost simultaneously into the Congress of the United States and the Parliament of Canada bills to provide for reciprocal wrecking privileges in the waters contigugus to the J two countries, and it is earnestly to be hoped that effect w ill be given to the measures. The bill of Mr. Nutting of New York, provides that ** Canadian vessels and wrecking appurtenances may ren ler aidand assistance to Canadian or other vessels and property W recked, disabled, or in distress in the waters of the United States contigu- eus to the Dominion of Canada,” witha rider that the act shall not take effect until Canada reciprocates the privileges. The bill of Mr. Kirkpatrick, presented in the House of Commons, is in almost the same terms as follows:

‘*Canadian vessels of all descriptions may render aid or assistance to American or other vessels wrecked or disabled in the waters of Canada contiguous to the United States ” ‘This act shall take effect and remain in force when and so long as the like privilege is extended to Canadian vessels’ in respect of American vessels by the Government of the United States.”

The instincts of humanity, if nothing else, call for the adoption of these measures, Both countries have been derilect in their duty in permitting succor to be promptly rendered to wrecked or disabled vessels; and many instances of loss of property from the failure to extend wrecking privileges might be cited. The Canadian bill out to be adopted, no matter what becomes of the Nutting bill, since its incorporation into our laws will be au invitation to Congress to legislate in the same direction, and will relieve parliament of the responsibility for any loss of life and property in the future that may be due to the ilhberal and inhuman wrecking laws of the United States,”

The following is the initiatory note of

the correspondence relating tu the admis-

sion of Newfoundland into the Dominion of

Canada:

‘* From the Governor-General of Canada to the Gevernor of Newfoundland :

‘‘Orrawa, March 5.—It is considered by my Government, that if your government ap- proves, the time is convenient for discussion of the question of admission of Newfoundland into the federal union, and that no difficulty is likely to arise in airanging the terms under these circumstances. Could you send a de- putation to Ottawa with power to negotiate? In our opinion a deputation Sshould represent the opposition. as well as the ministerial party.. As the Canadian session has begun, and may be short, I would suggest the ex- peciency of the deputation sailing by the steamer leaving on the nineteenth instant.”

— Hon. Mr. Mackenzie's words in the House of Commons on Monday night are worthy of more than ordmary attention just now. Referring to Mr. Mills’ proposi- tion in regard to the protocals of the fish- ery treaty, the late Prime Minister said, —

‘‘ J object to any invitation of the kind. We ought not to ask Lord Salisbury to interfere in Canadian matters. I urge the Finance Minister not to invite Lord Salisbury or any other statesman on the other side to interfere more than is absolutely necessary, and I en- tirely object to the proposal.”

On which the Montreal marks :—

‘* With the exponents of a bastard Liberal- ism seeking to weaken the Federal Govern- ment, setting the provinces against it, and calling for a curtailment of its powers by ‘re- storing to the Colonia! office in London the right to interfere in Canadian domestic legis- lation, there is need for some such strong pro- test, and Mr. Mackenzie's words have as wide an application outside the House of Commons as they had in regard te the question imme- diately under discussion. Political Liberalism in this country has wofuily degenerated since he was its foremost exponent.

The Orwell Club Trot.

Gazette Te-

Many people from the adjoining districts, and a goodly number from Charlottetown assembled at Brush Wharf on Saturday afternoon to witness the annual races under the auspices of the Orwell Trotting Club. Quitea number of handsome and speedy horses were on the track, and when the three minute class was called five were found ready to start. The heats were closely contested, and the race was well and impar- tially conducted. The result might have been different had it not been tor an un- unavoidable foul caused by a horse not in the race, but the decision of the judges gave general satisfaction. The following iS &@ summary :

The day was all that could be desired, the track fair, the sport good, and all seemed highly pleased with their holiday. It is, however, to be regretted that although a number of Charlottetown horses were in attendance, none took part in the proceed- ings.

“The Maritime Provinces.” (The Empire.)

The Mail has been harrowing the souls of patriotic Canadians by representing that the Fishery Treaty was nothing short of wholesale plunder of the Maritime Provinces. (The scene, of course, was laid a good way off from the sanctum.) In_ successive articles it declared (Feb. 16) that a good blow had been struck at those Provinces; then (Feb. 17) that the negotiation of the treaty would drive them out of the Cana- dian Union; then (Feb. 22) it is reported that they get nothing whatever for the alleged concessions; and, once more (Feb. 23) that ‘‘ forty thousand fishermen” find nothing in the treaty except in thedim, distant, shadowy future that may never materialize. Here are some of the ** hor- ribles” fron the Mail;

SERIOUS BLOW AT MARITIME PROVINCES,

Mail, Feb. 16.

It is obvivus that a serious blow has been struck. at the welfare of the Maritime Provinces,

MARITIME PROVINCES WILL BURST CONFEDERA- ‘ TION.

(Mail, Feb. 17.) We fear the people in the Lower Provinces will be driven to ask themselves what the advantages of the connection with Britain and with Confederation are, seeing that it affords them no protection in treaty negotiations with their neighbors and yet debars them from settling the questions in dispute through the means,of unrestricted trade with their natural market. MARITIME PROVINCES GET ABSOLUTELY NOTH-

ING,

(Mail, Feb. 22.) Canadian ‘fishermen receive no sort of equi- valent for the coneessions made to the Ameri- cans, except the berren privilege of fishing in American bys, FORTY THOUSAND EMPTY-HANDED FISHERMEN

IN MARITIME PROVENCES.

(Wail, Feb: 23.) The promise held oat-to the forty thousand fishermen in the Maritime Provinces that by- and bye Congress may put fish on the free list is not likely to’ be satisfactory to them. On Monday came the climax. “The “Mari- time Provinces had been heard from.

THE MARITIME PROVINCES ALL WANT THE TRBATY.

(Mail, March 5.)

The great majority of the people in the Maritime Provinces desire to bring about closer trade relations with the Americans, and the new treaty appears to be a step in that direction,

So it appears, on reflection, that all the talk about the ** forty thousand fishermen” (there are not over half the number), and the ‘‘serious blow,” and the disruption of the Confederation, and all the rest of it, was plain, unadulterated nonsense. It is safe to aflirm that what the Mail doesn’t know about the Maritime Provinces would make the fortune of a score of _ politicians. ee

DE npn Gi a betel op iecincs Troubles of a Barmaid. Mary ANN McEacueren, the young woman who was on Saturday convicted of five violations of the Canada Teraperance Act, and fined in the sum of $50 for each, went down to jail after the Court was over. The counsel for the defendant took the point that one month’s imprisonment would satisfy all these fines, as the Magistrate had no authority to order that one commitment begin at the expiration of the. other. The prosecutor, to avoid the diffi- cult arisingZfrom the fact that the Scott Act makes no provision forthe col- lection of several sentences inflicted on the one day, lodged three tomimitments with the jailor, so that. she could not obtain her release without the payment of $150, hold ing the others to enforce if she satisfied these in the jail. We learn that she paid her three fines to the jailer, and so obtained her release from custedy. By the time Miss McEachern has paid the other two convictions, and has stood her trial for the remaining six, she wiil have learned that a barmaid’s position .is attended with much more risk than she anticipated. 7. ——-_ ++
