NOTES AND COMMENTS.

__The Minerve claims that althongh the Conservative candidate in Charieroix fought the battle under adverse circum stances, the difference between the votes polled for Mr. Augers and thove secured by Mr. Simard, who came out a8 & Liberal in 1891, show a Conservative gain cf more than one-half, and indicates as return movement which mnet cause the Liberals to reflect on the eve of the general elections.

Visitors to the United Kingdom have often observed how generally our British frieuds across the Atlantic confuse Canada with theU nited States,not knowing,ae ajrule, enough of this continent ether geog~aph- cally or politically to make «listinetions between Americans and Canadians. This confusion of thought extends to even the departments of the Govern- to Sir Charles Tupper.

ment, according

In his speech before the Montreal Board of Trade, recently, Sir Charles told how surprised he had been, on looking in the

British trade returns for some account of the heavy importatiuns of hay made from Canada a vear or two ago, to find scarcely any mention of hay from Cavada—it had been credited to the United State. And so, added the speaker, “the trade re- turns do not show the relative importance of this and other trades; justice hai not been done to Canada. The same thine (as occured with respect to the hay) applies to all products of the Dominion that go to England through United States ports * Sir Charles bas been correspond- ing with the Colonial Ottice and the Board o* Trade about this injastiee of crediting Canadian products to the United States.

ceenteercectincimmenteecnmniy- illite tpn SIR EUWARD HARLAND.

Beitish newspapers to band contain lengthy accounts of the death and funeral of the late Sir Ejward Harland, founder of the White Star Line of steamships. The Belfa-t News Letter remarks that “it is pot, as a rule, the case that a man’ genius and worth, especially where he possesses such in a large degree, are fully eppreciated until his life’s labor has been completed and he has been removed from the sphere in which his worth and influ- ence were exercised. Then when men sre able to measure the blank they can esti- mate the greatness of the prize which they have lost. E-pecially was this true of the late Sir Edward Harland, Bart, M. P., whose remains were jaid to rest on Satur- day, amid w idespread mani estations of regret, in the earth of the city of his adop- tior, and to whose marvellous progress ard wealth he had so vastly contributed by bis exhanstless energies, talent and enterprise. Whilst the Jate baronet was amongst usfhe was honored and admired, none more so as @ man of genius and parts; it needed his death to enable us to realize in their fullneas his many-rided qualities as aman of business, asa good

citizen, as a public man, and as} a true phitanthropist. His loss came as a_ shock which rever-

berated throughout the entire commu- nity, and from which we will not recover for a longtime to come. The tribute which was paid the deceased on Saturday was a fitting testimony to the name ant fame which he had established tor him self, not merely within local confines, but throughout the kingdom, aa also in every part of the world where the British flaz floats to the breeze. An Englishman by birth, Sir Edward Harland never torgot

that it was in Ireland tha he achieved his wonderful prosperity, and his attachment to the = old

country was extremely great, aod pleasing to Irishmen. He honored our city by ait- ting in Parliament as one of its represen- tative. The interests of Ireland, and par- ticularly those of Belfast, were ever dear to his heart, and found in him a faithfal aud vigorous champion; and it was, there- fore, after the fitness of things, that, when his task was finished, he should be laid to rest under Irish svil, not far from the busy scenes which he had done so much to eri- ginate and develop.”

Such men as Sir Edward Harland the world does not willingly let dic; and al- ready movements are on fuot towards a public monument te his memory. Sir Edward had connections and admirera even in Prince Edward I-land If we mistake not, one of the sons of Charles Hyndman, Esq., Brighton, was called after him.

LRITERS 10 THE EDITOR.

NO POWER IN MAYOR DAWSON

Six,—Mayor Dawson has no power to take a plebiscite vote on the sewerage question next Wednesday, and, therefore, should not comply with the petition got up by the friends of Messrs. Crabbe and Beer to have sewerage. I intended voting for them, but hearing that there are push ing the sewerage, I must withdraw my

support. Warp Four. —_— > A QUESTION Sir,—A question worth asking is this, How do some of the prominent members of the League reconcile it to the temper- ance cause to flood a constituency with whiskey during a political contest? I know, that on such occasions, the verg elect of the League, are those who did thet very thing, and with no compunctions except, perhaps, that of paying for the wh skey ° Honesty.

WILL NOT BE FORCED.

Sirn,—I see that many of the more en thusiastic of the Citizen’s League are “men plucked from the burning.” Now will any of these men (whom I respect much more than men who have never in- dulged) say they have been saved, or have ever saved another, by the process of taking a man by the throat and telling him he shall not drink? Were they not rather saved by kindness, or by the realization of the misery they were causing themselves and their friends?

THE NIGHTLY LUMINARY.

Sir,—I understand the opposition to Mr. Douse in Ward One have employed to can- yass,a lawyer of noted ability, who is genera!ly seen in cases more serious than thie, where epecial pleading is wanted. This Jega] light can be seen going east nightly ata trot, and later generally re- turns ata gallop.

ACT.

ome ai idle EVIDENCE ON THF s8COTT

Sin,—I attended the Police Court on last Thursday, as Ido often when there are Scott Act cases on the carpet. I also heard policeman Campbell’s evidence in the Hines girl’s case, This, I am sorry to see, the Guardian did vot publish, as is its practice on other occasions. But I hope that it orsome other newspaper will pub- lish it in full, as it will reveal some of the blessings which the Scot Act confers on the people of Charlottetown. Afier the municipal election is over and things quieted down I intend giv.ng the new Afayor and Council a short history of the b'essings that the Scott Act has conferred on this city and on the Island in general.

I know it from the East Point to the West Cape. Gasper McDownatp. OPEN VOTING,

iR,—No temperance man can consis: tantly vote for Mr. Horace Haszard for Mayor while he remains a member of the Gentlemen’s Club down Queen Street. The vote is an open one, and not by ballot a= some people seem to'think. Consequently after election day the record of how every man and woman votes will be available and it can then be seen where the du- plicity lies. In ward one no elector can vote for Mr. Clarke and at the same time vote for Mr. Haszard. In ward four the electors there voting for Crabbe and Beer cannut consistantly vote for Mr. Haizard, while in ward five the electors voting the league ticket must alse drop Mr. Haszard from their list. One of the planks of the League is to shut this club up and if a member of it is Mayor, this plank can'o be carried out. But election day will tell the tale end record the names of the true tem perauce people.

TreEMPERANCE. PUT THE BLAME iN THE RIGHT PLACE,

Sixn,—The Patriot last evening had an editorial complaining of the mail arrange- ments of the present winter, ard finding fault with the Government. That there are some grounds for complaint may be admitted, but there are certainly no grounds against the Government. A few days ago there appeared in your columns a letter from the Hon. John Costigan, Minister of Marine, to Senator Ferguson, in which it waa stated that the Agent of the Department here had complete author- ity to act on all occasions, and had ample power in the premises. If this is 80, then let the blame be put on the right shoul- ders, and the newspapers <hould see that the Department at Charlottetown gives us that accommodation which we have the assurance cf the Minister is vested in the Agent here. He is more accessible than the Minister at Ottawa,

MeRCHANT.

—_—_—_.—_-—_— THE ENEMY ALT WORK,

Sin,—The opponents of the peopl+frealiz- ing that the people’s candidates will be elected by fair means on Wednesday next are resorting toa new dodge to defeat them. It is hoped that by raising the question of sewerage the Citizens will vote fur the League candidates, who in their canvass, are all things to all men. With this end in view, petitions are being hawked around asking that a plebeecite onthe sewerage question be submitted to the electors, One of these petitions is being handlei.by one pereon at least, who it is notorious, has no interest whatever inthe city or its affairs; but being a Jmeddleson:e busybody, is to the front with the scheme to defeat Mayor Dawson and the peoples} candidates in gen- eral, and Mr. Donald Nicboleon in particu- lar for it is quite clear that public

opinion is not ripe enough fo vote on this important question, and it is well known that should the designs of the scheming league succ*ed in having a vote taken on Wednesday, the peoples candidates includ ing Mayor Dawson will be defeated. Be sides sewer ge will receive a blow that it will not rally from ‘or vears to come, and | T therefore urgently call on Mayor Daw- son not to he caught napping. Citizen.

PLEA FOR MODERATION,

Sin,—The letter of Hon. B. Davies, in your issue of the Sth instant, is timely and rensible. The opinion of a gentleman of his age and experience should carry weight. His appearance in the streets gives a living | lie to the sillv arguments and statements | put forth by the temperance cranks.

I understand the clique which calls it- self the “Citizens League” intend, if they get a majority vote inthe council, to ap propriate all Scott Act fines to *their own | use in paying people for sneaking and ly- ing, and annoying tlhe .better half of the city. Inno other British country would such conduct be tolerated for one day.

Our young men are being brought up to aneak after and lie about their neighbors, thereby incurring much ill-feeling in the community.

I would ask, why should rich Leaguers be permitted to have their cellars and closets well filled with “rum,” where they can resort to as often as they think they “havea pain,” and atthe same time the po r laborer who needs a “glass of cheer” much more than they do be denied it? I say away with such cant and hypocrisy, and )-t us join in the good old English chorus:

“Darn their eyes, whoever tries To rob a poor man of his beer.” Mopenartion. Feb. 8th, 1896. sii ON THE WRONG

Sin,—It strikes me as as a manifestly unfair thing that our civie elections are fun ov extreme temperance principles, and 1 would like to know by what mght the question is brought into them? All other civic interests appear to be lo-t sight of completely, and tie temperance people, helped along by the “Citizen’s League,” have made the Scott Act the point at issue instead of the general interests of the city. We have a Stipendiary Magistrate, a Pro- secutor, a City Mar-~hal, and a posse of Police, who are well able (or should be) to do the Scott Act’s work, instead of ex- pecting the Gonncillors to do it.

The duty of the City Councillors is to attend to the adjusting of the city finances, give attention to the sanitary condition _«f the city, see that necessary improvements are male, etc., not to work solely for the temperance cause, which in other words mean¢ enforcing the Seott Act.

When the ten,perauce people virulently denounce the Club, they show their crass ignorance of anything but their beautiful Scott Act. In any city ..elsewhere—clubs exist; and their members consist of many of the most influential menin the respect- ive cities, many of whom are total ab- etainers. The club is a boon to the busi- ness men of this city, and when the shirs come in it is certainly a great benefit to the officers, who, one and al!, make the club “home” for themselves, vot except- ing the chaplain, whom even the temper- ance men will, perbaps,hesitate to condemn as a drunkard because he took advantage of the hospitality offered by the glub mem- bers,

Do the temperance people dare to in- sinuate that because many of the leading men here belong toa club where liquor can be had, and because some of them take a g'ass when they want it, that they are not as good Christians, as good citi-

TRACK,

zens, or as good men, as those who belong to tke Citizen’s League, (many of whom take their glass as well as the club mem- bers), or those who shout Scott Act?

And again, I ask, are there not many temperance people in this town who have never tasted liquor, or who have never been in a bar-room, but who do not be lieve in the Scott Act? And are these people not as gool Christians, as good citi-

zens, and as good men as those who talk Scott Act, make a religion of it, and take

their glass every day of their lives, and n.ore besides if they can get some one else toy ay for it? It has been well eaid, “Be temperate in all things.” Let the temper- ance people take tbe advice given and they will help along their cause much more than by talking the fanatical non- sense they are given to, and by carrying things to the extremest of extremes.

THE MANITOBA SCHOOL BILL,

A Brief Outline of the Text. Rights of the Minority Restored.

Orrawa, Feb. &,

Your correspondent is now in a position to indicate the nature and scope of the proposed bill soon to become law. Start: ing out with the assumption that the Catholics of Manitoba have a just griev ance, the bill proposes to restore to the Catholics of Manitoba their educational rights by permitting the re-establishment of separate schools. Yet, at the same time, in po manner will the bill be found to en- croach upon the cherished principles of provincial autonomy, or contain any provi- sion bearing the semblance of cvercien, The proviucial authorities are to bave authority to appoint a Catholic Board of Education for the province, consisting Of not more than nine persons, who must be Roman Catholics, three of whom will retire annually. This Board will be charged with many duties, the chief among which are the control and management of te] avate schoo 's, the selec} tion of text books and the issuing of teachers’ certificates. In the event of the provincial authorities failing to appoint a Catholic Board of Education, such Board will be appoiwt'd Ly the Federal authori- ties. A Superintendent of Separate Schools is to be »plo'nted by the provincial authorities, who will have the general supervision and direction of the Catholic

schools. Separate echool districts may be created on petit.on of ten heads of fam'lies who are Catholics,

and who must pledge themselves to a cer- tain amount of financial support to the school each year. Where a municipality fails to organize a Catholic district the power will devolve on the Board of Education. In the event of the municipal ccu cil failing to collect taxes power i; ,iven tot ie Catholic board to raise them. No Roman Catholic will b taxed for the support of a separate -chool if he notifies th: min cipal authcr - tics that he desires his taxes to go

tio th: public schools. In cigs vere Roman Catho!'cs prel mnt in any school district and

Prot santchildren have to atteri the eho >is, provision is made for the due regard to the wishes of the parents in the matter of ch ] iren abstaining from Catho- lic relig ous exercises. Inapector of the Separate Schools may be apyonted, and in the event of any school proving inefti- sient, the Provincial grant may b: credi - drawn. It is assumed that the same Pro- vincial grant will be made to Catholic schco!s as to the public scl.aol-; and con- requeitly, no machinery appears in the bill for supplying financial] ass-stance.

PARLIAMENT OF CANADA.

Mr. Davies Speaks About the Money Sent to Cape Breton.

Orrawa, Feb 8.

Proceedings in the House yesterday opened with a volley of ccmplaints against newspaper articles, one of which was from Mr. Dayies. He quoted from the report of a speech delivered by Sir Charles Tup- per in Halifax, in which the Secretary of State had said that the Grits had sent $25,000 into Cape Breton County to de- feat him.

Dr. Cameron— Was that all

Mr. Davies, with a look of scorn across the floor, went on to say that he was in a position to know and ptated that not enough money had been sent to Mr. Murray to pay travelling expenses for himself and those who assisted him in the campaign.

Sir. C. H. Tupper concluded his speech on the Budget
