MR. MCKINNON ANO THE PRESS.

Newsparer readers will be surpri-ed to learn that Mr. McKinnon rove in the Legis: lative Aesembly ve-terday, and accused the press to slandering him ip connection with his action atthe Murray River meeting concerning . the proposed. railway. The opinion of those conversant with the facts is that Mr. MeKionon was, in respect to that matter, treated by Tue Exawtner with an excess of courtesy. What are the facts’ Mr.McKinnon interfered to burke the passage ofa re-olution settingforth the necessity for # railway,and the responsibili- ties of the Dominion Government and th® pledges of Mr. Davies in respect to it. Having been brought totask for hia con" duct, he fell back upon the excuse that the preamble of the resoiution to which he exception was offensive to Mr. Davies. With the kindest disposition to- wards Mr. McKinnon’s tender sensibilities in respect to Mr. Davies, Tue Examiner promptly accepted his explanation and

exborted united action towards the railway, But it afterwards appeared that there was nothing whatever in Mr. McKinnon’s con- tention. Here is the preamble and resolu- tion to which Mr. McKinnon obj.cted. We ask the public to peruse it onee more and judge whether or not it is offensiveto Mr. Davies:

“ Whereas, the Government of Canada has contributed much larger stms of money towards railway coustraction in Canada than was contemplated and author- ized when the Province of P. E. Island entered the Union in 1873;

“And Whereas, P. E. Island has not re- ceived any fair share of such large expeo- diture by the Government of Canada ;

‘* And Whereas, the question of railway extension in P. E. Island was brought, to the notice of the Dominion Government in 1895 and 1826, by repre-entatives in the Flouse of Commons and Senate of Canada from this Previnee, by a resolution of the Local Legislature of the Province, by memorials and petitions from the people, and by resolutions passed at meetings held at different sections of the Province ;

“ Aud Whereas, the Dominion G>vern- ment, in response to those reasunable appeals, from the people, consented to introduce into the House of Commous in 1896 a resolution providing tor the con- struction of Branch Railways io P. E. Island, and otherwise committed itself to the railway extension then demanded ;

Whereas, The Hon. L. H. Davies, now a member of the Dominion Cabinet holding the portifolio of Minister of Marine and Fisheries, has pledged himself to proceed with the construction of the Belfast and Murray Harbor Railway if his party came into power—and that euch pledges were given by the Hon. L. H. Davies at meet- ings held iu different parts of P. E. Island in the election campaign of June, 1896,—

Therefore Resolved, that for the proper development of the resources of this Pro- vince, as well as for maintaining the plighted faith of Canada, it is imperatively necessary that immediate action be taken

ty the Government and Parliament ot Canada at the coming session for the con- struction of the Belfast and Murray Harbor Railway, and that this meeting-and we feel convinced the people of the Island generally—will look with dismay, suspl- cion and distrust on any further delay in ite construction.

Further, that the harmony and good will which sbould exist between this and other sections of the Dominion will be sensibly weakened if the Government aod Parliament of Cavada will proceed farther with Railway expenditures in other parts of Canada, without first making provision for doing justice in this matter to P. E. Island.

There is not aline or a word above preamble to which any reasonable man, favorable to the railway, could take offense. Neither Tue Examiner nor arty other paper uttered a word in respect to Mr. McKinnon that could be construed as slanderous; and when Mr. McKinnon complained that a remark of one our pu- merous correspondents reflected upon his personal character in some distant way, which was not seen by the editor and could

never have been suspected by the ordinary

ESTEEMED EXCHANGES.

Hamilton Times: England is the store- house of th? products of the world. En; - lishmen bave on band for sale the producis of their own factories and the products of all other countries which export anything. Free trade with England is therefore an approximation to free trade with the world. When Canadians can buy from Britain free of duty, or ata low revenue

daty, they need not care much about trade

with other countries. England will eel] them German sugar, Ceylon tea, American cotton, Brazilian coffee, Australian wool and French wine, just as readily as she will sell Scotch iron and Yorkshire cloth, end she will freely take Canadian products of all kinds in payment.

— We have had am unusvally fine long winter for cressing at the Capes and the public has not had much cause for com- pl int even though raw anc’ unexperienced (-ome of them wholly unsuitabie) men were puton at the bs ats,

—Hon. Mr. Campbell quoted yesterday afternoom, and appied to the Provincial Governiuient “ith eilet ;

“Oh, what a tauugled web we weave,

When tiest we practiced to deceive.” Tiese words are applicable to the Laurier Adm nisiration as weil as that of Mr. Peters’.

The news of the modus rivendi licenses by the Laurier Acnsimistration is After all the late government cuuld not have been so very far wrovg ip respect to this matter. It is begihning to be feit that when the government is follow- ing in the footsteps of its predecessor it is safe !

—Whatcan be done by economy is shown io the case of Newfoundland. Wil! the Government of Canada cut down ex- penses by reducing appropriations? The people were, b fure the election, induced to believe so. But the present year’s expen- ditures are greater than ever before. We shall soon see what is to be done about next year.

— Professional men in the mother Country as well as bere have becn feeling the dint of hard times, apropos of which Tid Bits, of London says: “One evening last winter a certain vouny barrister—now a Welsh M. P.—went across the Inner Temple Library. He was suprised by the sudden appearance of bis errand boy, who was looking very excited. “If vou pease, sir,’ the boy gasped, “a gentleman is waiting for you at the chambers witha brief. He can’t get out, sir; lve locked him in!”

—Statistics show that the public idebt- edness of the world is being increased rather than diminished. The total national debt fur the world is now $29,000,000,000. France has the distinction 6f leading the world in tnis regard with adebt of $6,000,-

000,000, followed by Great Britain with $3,300,000,000. The third on the list is

Auto-Hungary with $3,030,(0),000, white Russia is fourth with $2,875.0u0,900, and [ta'y fifth with $2,530,000,000. Spain comes next with $1,395,000,9U0, and the United States is seventh with $995,141,- 952. Germany has a debt of ouly $420,

000,000. :

—In an article in the. Toronto Week in 1892, the Hon. J. W. Long)ly said: “Under a system of popular government it goes without the saying that frequent chauges of administration are necessary toa healthy development of ‘publie affairs. ' Frebuent charges ot | government are obviously as has been eajd, in the public interest, It is impossibg for any body of men to be in power'for a,continuous periot without geiting lax in their ideas of public duty.” And pow the Nova Scotia Conser- vatives want Mr.. Longley to apply hia theory, just as we shal! try to apply it in bv. E. Islaud later in this year.

—The Montreal Witness is disgusted at Mr. Fielding’s attitude ou the coal question, as well as with that ot his frieud&’ and former colleagues, the Liberal leaders of Nova Scotia. It says: “A meaner attitude could not be taken than that into which the beheaded Nova Scotia government pro- poses to lead that province. It there has been any province which has been steadily denouncing protection a3 a wrong and an oppression, and even @ ground for seces- sion, it is Nova Scotia. But the Nova Scelia government is wiiling to wreck the movement towards deliverance from this incubus for the sake of the interests of a sma!! minority of her people.” Yes, and Mr. Fielding is giving them the lead 1a dving it.

—Miss Hubert, of Cape Breton, is a lady at present in the capital to interview the members of the Government in regard to valuable property on the Island of Cape Bretou, fo the ownership of which she claims to have been unjustly robbed. Miss Hubert is described by the Free Press as a person of the highest social connections in the old couatry. She is adaughter of Captain Hubert, who fought with distinc- tion under Admiral Lord Nelsoa, and later in life secured some ot the most valuable property on Cape Breton Island,’afterwards sold for a railway terminus. Her mother was the daugnter of aduke. Miss Hubert claims that the property to which she was the just heir was disposed of by her half sister. She has fought the Segal issue through to the highest court in the realm and she will endeavor to have the Governor General interest himseif in ber case.
