———————ESEEEEEaae ee THE SUMMERSIDE EXCURSION,

True to his guarantee, Mr. Earle ran | his special train to Sammerside 3 esterday, although the storm was raging at its worst when the train left the station. A fair number of excursionists took advantage of the arrangement and accompanied the performers, who were greeted at Market ‘Hall by an anexpectediy large audience, considering the most inclement weather The programme was an excellent one, and evidently much enjoyed by the apprecia- tive audience. Many regrets were ex pressed that Mr. Earle’s endeavors were not rewarded with greater fiaancial suc- ces*, and it is certam that ois next visit, under more favorable circumstasces, will more than fully compensate him for his honorable falfilment of his engagement. lhe performers were most comfortably entertained at the Rus House, whose obliging proprietor drove them to and from the railway station. Mr. Earle has many kindnesses, on the part of the man- agement of the Hall, to acknowl-dge gratefully. The return train reached thi- city at about 2 o’clock this mcraigg. EEE eee

A FRENCH VIEW OF HON, MR, LAURIER.

Written by one who knows him well.

Tue Veretie, perhaps the best written newspaper published in French in the Province of Quebec, has an appreciation of Hon. Wilfred Laurier in its last number. As ine French view of an interestirg sutj ct of which “an English view” was preseated in The Patriot of yesterday, we publish it to-day.

“To conclude, there is no decaying mer- chant or inward beggar, hath so many tricks to uphold the credit of wealth as these empty persons have to maintain the credit of their sufficiency.”—Bacon.

There is uo operation so difficult as per- sistent and empty dissimulation. Every lay we bave some of those wise acres of whom Bacon speak, reputed as such by their contemporaries, employing every srtifice to maintain a reputation whicl nothing justifies

Let us see if the Frst Minister of Canad: ¥ not in this company.

Phe Liberal Chief, having studied a few

001 English authors, bas arrived by uch means to speak this language, no

with the elegauce of Fox or Sheridan, bu really in aremarkable manner for a wa

from our province. He ataried out t perorate in English centres to Knyglish

audiences and many of bis own compatriots, sstouished lo bear language chat they coul not understand, immediately ranged b.m with the great men. Mr, Laurier, himself, without doubt, was more astonished at tbi- than anyone else. One fiue morning, to his great consternation, he found himselt charged with a heayy load: the obliga- tion to appear great

He made an examination of his cov- science ; he passed in review ail his qua'i- fications. Alas! nothing anywhere, or about nothing, could he find. Had be the serious knowledge of history whick would permit him to judge of the future by the past? No, his conscience replied. Was he conversant with those profuund philoso

phers who have laid down forever the ases of science and reasoning? Same rep'y. Had he at least deeply penetrated

his soul with the eternal principles of the irue religion of God, principles capabl: vfien of making up for all o'her know ledge? Suill less, again said his con- science.

Anybody else would have been dis- couraged. By chance Mr. Laurier had retained from his studies certain physical principles applicable to the case. He remembered that “empty vessels make the most sound,” and at once a rich resonrce came to his mind. Why not strike the imagination of the masses by -ouvrous words as productive of noise as they are devoid of sense. Among the words of his vocabulary he found that of “liberty,” which adopts itself easily to every human folly, even indeed to every species of tyranny.

Providence, at first, treated him as a spoiled child. Aft-ra yearof power sie threw the new Minister inty the ranks of the Opposition.

Into the ranks of the Opposition! What a delicious scjoura! What a place to dissimulate the absence of solid idea-! No need of racking one’s brain there to putan end to governmental difficulties! On the covtrary, no other anxiety pre- sented itself besides that of making them for the Goveroment.

This was the role of Mr. Laurier for a long time. Hehad asilver tongue, and bis admirers thought that silver words would make up for everything else. They even began to take bim for a statesman.

Ob, what effort was necessary to main- taio this reputation! What a number of periods painfully marshalled together ! What an exploitation of terms: Freedom, Free Trade !

But where the genius of Laurier shown io ali its lu-tre was in the seitlement of the Manitoba School Question. This man uf action was in terrible pain at the inter- minable delays of the Conservatives. He never ceased saying with Clovis: “If ] were ouly there with my Franks!”

locapable of indicating any practical means it was necessary to make believe in the existance of a certain remedy which the opportune time would disclose. And if votbing could be done, could he not promise anyhow. Promise! Nuthing easier than that. He had everything to gain without risking anything. If election dav beat him (a condition to which Liberais were wel! used) it was as clear as day that he could not le held to bis prom- ses. if, on the contrary, he bad a ma- jority, he would be reduced to desperate extremes indeed if he could not invent some expedient to take him out of the difficulty.

Mr. Laurier at first did not ontstep the vague. He formulated no proposition too compromising. But the crowd thonght that it saw a promise in his words,

Then be pronounced the name of Mowat. That was enough: The schvols were already established! He promised justice and it never occurred to any of his followers to ask him what he understood by justice. It was simply necessary to come to some determined policy since everybody would have beheld his inability to settle the great religious d.fficulty. If they had asked of him an exact expose of hia religious doctrines, so then all the world would have uuderstood his norance.

In kis falxe wisdom he bad imagined to reconcile the irreconcilable, to establish harmony between the honest man odiously robbed of his own and the brigand charged with the theft without forcing the robber to give back anything; and by such a travsaction he thonght to satisfy the vic- tim of the robbery! Here was an enter- prise fora giant or a fool. Reasonable people see nothing but the latter alterna- tive; but the great number ask us to await the result befure defiaitively pronouncing.

At any rate when power was thrust

forced to come out of his uncertainty. He

must do, or appear todo, something. He

had prowised “full and entire justice” it is

true; but Mr. Laurier does not understand

justice in the sense of other people. It is | one of his deep conceptions which sounds

well to the ear but affurds nothing tangible.

The more one gets of this justice the more

one is cba

We have already explained some of the | subterfuges resorted to with a view to pre- | pare public opinion for the compromise. It was attempted to be proved that an ap- pearance of justice was worth more than | “fall and entire justice.” Reading over | his old English stock in trade Mr. Laurier sought out a word to render he & -religion- ist’s protestations odious. He must find anew one. He invented “civil liberty”. It was certainly miserable enough, but he could do no better.

Simple mortals like us believe that civil liberty is the right of every citizen to attend to his daily avocations without being interfered with by anybody, provided he respects the rights of others. Mr. Laurier declared that this is @ profound error. Civil liberty is the right of the

provinces to enslave minorities without permitting a central power to interfere tn their favor. : Behold a definition clear and precise, but one not to be too openly spoken. But aiso let us give the quality of che oppressed (o the oppressor. Let as take, for example, a province,the little province of Manitoba, and the Federal Goversment. Which is the more powerful ? The Federal Goveru- ment—then it would be tyranny to exert its power.

What a great head is not that of W fred Laurier which can discover such argu- ments, :

Imagine in a school the biggest boy who beats most unmercifully the smallest. You cry Halt! and ask the master to use the rol. There is a great need of it. No, no, the Liberal Chief cries out, reason better than that. Who is the strongest, the big boy or the teacher? The teacher, without joubt. Then be can’t punish the boy,— that woul! be an abuse of power. Then be crosses his arms and leaves every litile scholar at the mercy of his elder! This preaches c'vil liberty.

More than one poor devil of an elector may reason otherwise, but a+ 8i. Augnatio vas remarked, certain things appear clear v infer.or minds wh’ch have an alcogeth- r ditlerent aspeet for superior ones. Mr. Laurier, who parses his life in reading and

taken this maxim for the rule of his con- iuct.

Here’s where we are landed, then, by this Mr. Laurier. Behold the most recent inventions of his fruitful brain ! Incapable ff maintaining his position on relgious zrounds, he drags the question down to the plane of politics; he invokes political liberty (which for the occasion he calls civil liberty) and opposes it to religious liberty. jibe ties

To speak plainly “he would consider himself aslaveif, in a question where religion is concerned,” he snould let reéli- gion get equal with politics. This great Christian regards Catholic teaching on education as an attempt on liberty. He will depead on nobody, not even on God or Hs Chureb, Natural law itselt, which Mr. Laurier esteems so much more thas the law of the Church, must disappear before his absolute independence of ali author:ty! Io vain we may invoke the natural right of the fatier to see to-his child’s education; the exigencies of Green- way, Wallace, Martin and civil liberty, —these are ail he attempts to protect.

When, then, will the electors, deéeived by the appearance of vain grandeur, understand that they have allowed them- selves to be deceived by the char!atan’-m of this man of the silver tongue, but of whic.

TWO INTERESTING

A visit tothe recreation room of the Catholic Literary Institute on almost any night of late finds quite a number of the members groaped around both the cippi aud pool tables earnestly compariag and discussing averages. ‘Tbe interest just now manifested in so peculiar a subject is due to the fact that competitions are in progress in both games for valuable prizes, The players, not having acce=s to the official score book, each keep a private record of their individual score, aud are thus at any time ic @ position to determine toeir relative standing with other competi tors. Hence the discussioas above men tioved. ‘lweoty games must be played in each contes’, and the players making the highest aggr gate of points wii the pr zas. Both tournaments are governed ty rules sabsidiary to the regular rules of pool ani cippi. The cippi tournament closes shorily, and the pool at the ead of Mareh. Interest .in the former contest is now at fever heat, as some of the plavers are ‘about neck and neck. The prize in,the cippi tournament is a beautiful gold- headed ebony care, presented by Mr. James Eleo. The winner in the pool tournament may have his choice of three articles—a cane, briar root pire or shaving set. Mr, D. O’M. Reddin, Jr, is the donor in this instance. Almost a!l the members are competing in either contest, and each evening, after having thoroughly discussed the good things set before them io the reading room, they spend an extra half hour or thereabouts engaged in what are popularly called the “stick games.” We found checkers, too, absorbing the atten- tion of nota few. So many are the de— votees thereof that the management have placed on file in the reading room a Shicago periodical which tells how o make the moves that bring you out on top. That the Institute is not only a popular resort but also filling @ want heretofore much needed, a visit forcibly demon- strates.

Dissatisfaction in Quebce.

Orrawa, Feb. 24.

An extra of the Canada Gazette has been issued postponing the date of the opening of Parliament to March 25th.

The newspapers Zin Quebec are greatly ineensed-over the acuon of Hon. Mr. Sif- ton in dismissing only the French Home- stead inspector in the Northwest.

In Ministerial circles it is denied that Dr. Borden purposes retiring from the Ministry.

The Fisheries Department are making arrangements to reopen the lobster hatch- ery at Pictou,

The Liberal M. P’s. of Montreal district are revolting against Hon. Mr. Tarte’s rule. It appears that, previous to the yeveral election, Mr. Tarte attemp'ed to get Lemieux, of Gaspe, to retire and allow Mr. Joncas,ex M. P., to be returned by acclamation, claiming that the later would support Mr. Laurier. Mr. Lemieux would not submit, aud being returned, ap- pears to be, with the other Liberals, so many thorns in Tarte’s side.
