in- cline Even if the seats now vacated were won by them, Liberal-Conservatives would have but a narrow majority in the Lower House against an overwhelming ma- jurity of Grits ia the Upper Mouse. Under these circumstances they would still be powerless to accomplish their economical reforms—and the only result would be ‘direct taxation.” This is the end to- wards which their opponents have been per- sistently and successfully laboring to torce the Liberal Conservatives during the past Let the Grits now take the re-

while, the

ten years. sponsibility of applying it! Let them hang, like Haman, upon the gallows which they prepared for their enemies. Or let them at once take alternative of stealing their opponents’ economical policy of reducing the Provincial Legisla- ture and cutting down the controllable ex- penditures in other directions. They have the power carry out this policy of their opponents, if they have the The {Legislative Council is with them. We shall all be pleased to see their patriotism put to the test. It will be delightful to see them legislating them- selves out of their easy chairs and their of- fices in order that the people may not have to pay taxes. Only let the reform be a thorough one. This Province is not much bigger than a good-sized municipality of Nova Scotia or Ontario. There is little left to its government but the care of roads and schools. What need of more than fif- teen men, all told, to legislate in respect to these Provincial interests / As the Mon- treal Gazette tersely remarks :

‘* Like its sisters, Prince Edward Island ie loaded with & mass of goverumental machinery in excess of her needs. For a population of less than half that of Montreal, it has a Lieutenant-Governor, a Legislative Council aud a Legislative Assembly, with annual sessions, and all the machinery in miniature of a parliamentary governed nation.”

To maintain all this machinery 1s a simple folly. The Liberal-Conservatives could not avoid doing so because the Legis- lative Council was always against them. The Grits can easily, if they wish—they have the power—sweep away the encumb- rance by abolishing the Legislative Council aud providing that but one member of the House of Assembly shall be elected where Let them have

Meeting at Souris.

A public meeting was held at Souris on Thursday evening, 23rd inat., to consider the matter of providing fire-apparatus for the town. Speeches were made by Rev. J. G. Cameron, Messrs. G, B. McEachern, M. Paquet, J. J. Hughes, Jas. Brennan and Dr. McLellan, showing that Souris in its present state was in a helpless condi- tion in case of fire, both as regards the con- trolling of fire and the saving of movable property, that as fire would likely again take place, measures should be adopted by the townspeople to stay its ravages and save their property, and that whatever pro- perty would be thus saved might be looked upon as the fruit of their exertions.

it was agreed that a tea party be held on Dominion Day to add to the funds for pro- curing the required apparatus.

The meeting was attended by the ladies, as well as the gentlemen, who will give their support to the movement.

The secretary of the meeting. was re- quested to correspond with Charlottetown, Summerside, Kensiugton and Robb & Co., of Amherst, about the price and expense of fire apparatus and the organization of fire companies.

Meeting adjourned until Thursday, the 30th inst., to await information.

Miss Maggie Schutt, of Derry, Greens- burg, Penn., died one day last week. She was 65 years of age and since her father’s death, 20 years ago, had been living out as a maid of all work, for along time having been employed by a family named Bennett.

For years Miss Schutt’s relatives had been puzzled to know what she did with her money. She lived like a perverse old

Bishop Gilmour.

A PICTOU BOY, ORIGINALLY A PRESBYTERIAN, BECOMES AN EMINENT BISHOP,

Bishop Gilmour, of Cleveland, Ohio, a dis- tinguished prelate of ihe Roman Catholic church in the United States, who recently died at St. Augustine, Florida, was born in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1824. The parents emigrated to this country, and lived for some time at what is now called Plymouth in Pictou County. The family were originally Presby- terians, and the father and family attended the rainistry of the late Rev. John Stewart, and were also on terms of close friendship with the late Dr. Roy. In fact, we have heard it stated (says the Eastern Chronicle) that the bishop when a boy was taught the shorter catechism by Dr. Roy. One of the boy Gilmour's close companions was Evan McLellan, MeLellan’s Intervale, opposite Stellarton, After the family went to the States, it seems that Gilmour joined the Roman Catholic church. As young Gilmour had good mental gifts, and a spirit of énergy he studied for the priesthood, and in the course of time, was called to fill the bishopric of Cleveland, Ohio. As a prelate, Bishe Gilmour was revered amongst those of his own communion, as well as highly esteemed by Protestants. He never forgot the friends of his youth. He regularlarly corresponded with Mr. McLellan, already referred to, and eleven or twelve years ago, when on a visit to Nova Scotia, visited his old companion, and renewed the associations of his youth. He also made another visit to Pictou some five or six years ago.
