THE DAILY EXAMINER, CHARLOI'TETOWN, MAY 117, 1:99

‘THE DAILY EXAMINER

MAY 17, 1899

A LOST “PRINCIPLE.”’

Havixne been bumbuggrd to the top of their bent by cunsripg and unprincipled politicians of the Liberal persuasion, the ten perance workers of Canada have to lament the increase of drunkenness with- out avy additional means of checking it In point ot fact, reasonable men through- eut the country, who are naturally on the

side of sobriety and order, are disgusted

with the turn of affaires cons+quent upon the Plebiscite vote. Prohibition has re- ceived a set-back from Sir Wilfrid

Laurier and his colleagues from which it is not likely to recover fur years to come,

But it remains for Hon. Donald Far- qubherson — their political leader and champion—to administer to the temper- ance workersof P. E. Island the most un- kindest cat ofall. For years past one of the most cherrshed feelings of temperance men in this Province was a determination not to recogvize the liquor traffic as legs) by taking money from it. Money made by liquor was, by Mr. Farqubaraon and bis followers, denounced as “ blood money,” not to be touched by the State and uot to be used for public purposes. A short time ago, Mr. Farqubareon, as the temperance Leader of the House, was entrusted with the care of a temperance bil] to amend the Liquor Regulation Act of Charlottetown. Messrs Regers and Prowse, the represen- tatives of Charlottetown, were paseed by, Mr, Farqubareon brought tke bill in with a flourieh of trumpets, and it was regard- ed as a Government measure. But at the second reading, Mr. Farquharson found it expedient and necessary to acnounce that he had charge of the bill in his Capacity @£ @ private member, and to re- pudiate governmental responsibility for is. Then the bill was submitted te the caucus; aod presto, change! it comes forth as a bill recognizing the liquor \raffic as a legiti- mate branch of business aud imposing a tax upon It 88 upen Our steamehips and in-~ surance Companies, our electric aad ex~ press companies and business men gener- ally ! The temperance men Lave entered their protest. But Premier Fa: quhar- son needs the money to pay the interest on the debt which tbe Liberals have heaped uy aed the temperance workers cry in vain, while their long cherished principle is~ lost in the new taxation.

th

THE NEW LICENSE BILL.

Tus bill which provides that the l'quor dealers shall pay a tax to be divided be- tween the provincial and civic governs ments is to all intents and purposes a license bill. An inepector is to be ape pointed, the premises are to Le described,

the fee is to be paid, a certificate. is to be obtained, the certificate isto be hung

or posted in & covspicuous place and may be renewed from time to time ;—and those who do not comply with these provisions are to be fined or committed to jail. So

we are to baye a license Jaw from our Liberal Government led by the Hon. Donald Faraubareon. Well, we hope

that it may result in an abatement of drunkenness.

——— i tc

—Our temperance leaders asked that

the liquor dealers of Charlcttetown be outlawed; and Premier !’arqubarson’s gov- ernment replied by affording the liquor dealers legal recognition and sharing in the profits of ibeir business ; the commer- eial travellers asked to be relieved from taxation, and Premier Farqubarson’s government responded by addingto the tax an additional five dollars upon each man. Our Liberal gevernment seems to work by the rule of contrary !

MORE DEBENTURES. |

Ir appears that Premier Farquharson

did not tell the whele story when he de livered his budget speech. Debentures

for $26,000 are to be issued on account of the Hospital for the Insane ; and iv addi

tion 1o these $17,600 worth are to be issu- ed on accountof the new Princeof Waies College So the deficit apart, there isto be aradiicion to the

building. that,

debenture dett of the Province, this year, to the extent of $43,000.

- The engagement of Mis» Julia Dent Grant, daughter of General Fred Grant, and grand daugbter of President Grant, to Priace Cantacuzene, is regarded by our American ne'ghbore as an event of ipter- pational interest. The bride’s name is a familar one all over the States, but of the groom lessis known. He is descended irom a family of Roumanian boyars or or nobles, and basthe title of Prince in Russia, The family also claims descent from Cantacuzenus, who was Emperor of Byzastium in 1347. The Cantacuzenes are very rich and bave many representa- tives in the Rassian public service. The father of the Prince, who is engaged to Mies Graut, wae Minister to Washington a few years ago. Young Cantacuzene, unlike the sciots of many voble families of Europe, bears a spotiess character, and is adiplomat of more than mediocre talent. He isagreat favourite withthe Czar and has a bright futuredefore him. Even the the most incerrigible gossips admit that this is a ret] love match.

trade—taxing our

Sir,—Premier Farquharson ecems to be in @ great way to fiod eomething new to tax. Mr. Birch says that he bas not only taxed the dead but be is going beyond the confines of the tomb and is going to tax the spirits. Well, that may be ail right, but I would suggert that if he doesn’t find this eufficient, he impose «# tax of say $25 on each of our cheese and butter factories, This. would pot be a tax upou our farmers—it would merely be upom the factories. Then be might go a little further and tax the lobster factories. They’re all making 80 much money nowa- days. Then if he atill wants more he might levy a tax of $10 upon every busi- ness man carrying on abusiness of any kind in the province.

LIQUOR REGULATION ACT.

Sir,—I hear that before the Legislature

‘prorogues it will amend the Liquor Reg-

ulation Act and partly puta stop to the whelerale free license that pow prevails in Charlot etown. In fact, it is now very near as bad as when we had tbe Scott Act,—only that we have more police protection. Ip Scott Act times the poiice were almcst always in the country looking up witnesres and serving sum- monses. and I suppose swayed a goed deal by the Temperance Alliance folks to leave their frieuds the hooclums tear away, in order to showup the fruits of ram seiling in all its hideous forms.

The Guardian yesterday morning shows where several of our Legislators made promises to the temperance folks regarding licence. But the Guardian did not ray that the Alliance was defeated in Charlotte- town the day after the Provincial eleciion in ward two, their man only got a small fraction over one fifth of the votes polled —although it was two liquor dealers that ran with him. One of the liquor deal- ers got elected while the other was ap to his neck, and the Alliance man was distanced, The excuse ‘they had fer being beaten so bad was that the rum busiress prevailed in the ward. But they knew better. Ward two is the most en- lightened ward in the city, alihough it is orly represented by one councillor, The tig Methodist Chorch is in it; Zion Church ie in it;the Young Men’s Christian Asso- ciation is in it; the Catholic Cathedral is in it; the most of the banks are iu it; and I

‘Burning a Penny

Candle, to look fer “a Farthing,”’

That is what some folks do whee they try to save cents in the purchasn of adulterated soap made from cheap oils. They not only “burr. the can- dle” but they “lose the farthing ” as well, when they sudject costly fab- ries to the corrosive action of such soaps. Dollars are literally thrown away in washing fabrics like lace, musiin, damask, cretonnes, silks, and cambri s with trashy imported soaps made from inferior oil.

Royal Oak Soap

is expressly manufactured for the washing of such articles. It is made fromjthe purest materials; white goods become whiter and colored goods brighter when washed withit. A purer soap is beyond the art of soap making. Ask your dealer. For sale every where,
