ceives money a8 the price of permission to seil liquors or to gamble fiads it bard to part with the ill gotten gains. bat fact maintained the Louisiana Iloctiery long after the veatiment of the majority wae against it. What is today the sirong- hold of the liquor traffic againet prohibi- tion in the Dominion? It is the eight miilion dollars ihat the Dominiov receives from the taxes on_ /|iquors and the thousands which the provinces and municipalities receive in license taxes. This broad fact is fel! by the men inthe liquor trade and by temperance meo alike. Once the stream of gold is flowing into the state treasury ‘rom the rumeellers’ coffers and it is hard to divertor renounce it. When, hereafter. prohibition or Scott Act is pro- posed for Charlottetown or the Provioce every dollar ot Mr. Farqubarson’s license money will be a silver-tongued pleader on the side of rum. The cry will be raised that we cannot do without this money.”

While this argument is, speaking gener- ally, a strong one against “license” or * tax,” it will not apply to Charlottetown ; —because the lion’e share of the money paid by the liquor dealers af Charlotcetown will go, not into the civic treasury,but iato the treasury of the Province! It is the Province that gets The tax payers of Char.ottetown will not be perceptibly relieved on account of it. Cons quently they have no inducément in the Farquharson License money for op posing either Scott Act or Prohibition. Rather, we believe, the inducement will be the There indignation among a considerable Cher- lottetown’s citizens because the Province has stepped in and “scooped” revenue which properly belongs to thecity.

number of

encroachments of the Province in this res gard. Charlottetowa’s citizens are willicg to bear their fair proportion of the burdens put upon the Pro- viuce by our Liberal Government: But they are compelled to tax themeelves heavily forthe maintenance of streets, schools, etc.,and they naturally object to having legitimate sources of civic revenue tapped and drained by the Pro- yincial Government. It is quite possible that this objeciion may find expression in the voting out of the Far ynharsoo Licens- ing Act at the first epportanity, and a re

turn tothe Canada Temperance Act.

—A correspondent of the Mostreal Star expresses clearly the unfairness ef the Lib- eral gerrymander bill «8 it affects this Province,— though he forgets to poimt out that voters in Queena and Prince vote for two candidates each and voters ‘n Kings for only one. ‘he Star remarks that in this Province the representation by population idea will not ‘* Linger Longer.”

—In response to Hon. Mr. Campbell’s challenge, the Pioneer publishes a list ot contracts which it says the Provincia, Auditor says were let without tender, I the Pioneer imagines that the public wil accept this as proof that Mr. Cawpbell is in the wrong, it must be very innocent or suppose the public to be very gullible. The list as published by the Fioneer is in no sense “rroof,”—in ro way meets the requirements of Mr. Campbell’s challenge. In point of fact it was before the Legie- lature when the challenge was made. Mr. Campbell may make a statement about the matter or he may choose not to do so. The burden of proof iies with the Pioneer or the Commissioner of Public Works.

Costigan was * ministerof a Conservative Government, and regarded a Conservative leader, from 1882 ull 1896, when, in the words approved by bim-elf in the Parlia-~ mentary Companion, be “resigned with his leader.” Through the Conservative party he received the uigbest honors open to ao ambitious parliamentarian. lie owed romething also to the party whch bad warch:d to certain defeat, «hile upholding priciples which Mr. Cosiigau openly and in his heart approved of. If,on some poiuts, he disagreel with the men who had been his colleagues in power, and were later Lis co-workers tu opposition, a man in his place aod of his record might reasonably be expected to put the fact aside, at least, while his party was fights ing an uphill battle against fortune. Mr. Costigan accepted a portfolio from Sir Charles Tupper, baving known him for years. He could work with him when he was wer. Was too much to expect that he could at least hear with him tt opposition? Any who have studied political government, and uoderstand tl.e com promise that is continu- ally necessary to secure progress under it, will bave but one answer to such a question. Mr. Costigan’s speech is given in full. It can be perused from beginning to eod without the reader gec- ting the inkling of a justification for his abandonment of his party and of the prin ciples which, with him as one of its leads ere, it hes held to since confederation. The Conservative party today is the Con- servative party Sir John McDonald led, with Mr. Costigan in its Government ; which Sir Joho Abbott led, with Mr. Costigan in its Govern- ment, which Sir John Thompson led, with Mr. Costigan in its Government; which Sir Mackenzie Bowe'!] led, with Mr. Costigan ic its Government; which Sir Charles Tupper led, with Mr. Costigan nits Goveroment. It will continue to be the same psriy, with Mr. Costigan among its cpponents, He quits it in vere cona! pique, not on principle, and while the loss to @ party of an old and respected member is always to be zegre'ted, it is to be also said that Mr. Costigan’s explana. tion ot his course will reduce the regret in his case to &@ Minimum, because it will let the interested public see that there is no excuse for the line he has followed, and that he is not the man most people took bim for.

When Sir Wilfrid Laurier visited Boston some years ago, he spoke inavery d.fferent strain, with the object of prupitiating Uaited States senti ment. But Mr. Foster isan imperialist at all times and in all places, and does not change his flagto catch every passing breeze.
