He ridiculed the claim of the present Government that their predecessors did as they had done, and impoved taxes afier th had pro- m sed not todo. Wheu ibe Suilivaa gov- ernment went to the conutry he did not pram sé to repeal the Assessment Act.

Three years | later, when Mr. Peters knew the deficrt | would be $119,000, he again appealed to | the people and told them the dav of taxa- tion was far off, and that the ‘uebec resolutions increasing tbe Provincial subsidies would be carried out when the Grits obtained power at Ottawa. Some t me afterwards Mr. Peters called a meeting at Mount Stewart and informed those who were present that he had decided to tax the peopls This he has done. H's land tax system is hase and inkjuitons,as under itfpeople are allowed to undervalue their Jands. Mr. Peters told the people improvements were not to be taxed. But he deceived the people in this matter also, for last year the Jaw was amended to admit of this. Mr. | Peters claims, went on Senator Ferguson, that as a result of some question asked by me inthe Senate a large sum | as heen lost to the province. Now the question which he (Senator Ferguson) asked was a very siunpie one. He simply arked Sir Oliver Mowat if it was the intention of the Gov- ernment tocary out the provisions of the resolutions regarding provincial subsidies passed at the Quebec conference. Sir Oliver’s reply was that these resoluticns were very good at the time they were passed but they were not so good now, and the governmen: was not prepared to carry them ont. That settled the subsidy matter, so there is nothing to expect from that sonrce. Mr. Peters had asked for arbitration rezarding our railway claims, non-fa'fil ment ofthe terms of union an? other matters. He ( Senator Ferguson ) consulted with the Liberal-Con- servative members from this province on the subject and they decided that it would be madness to accept arbitration in the matter of public works claim ng that in this particular Prince Edward Island should be treated the same as the other provinces. There need be no arbitration on these matters. If Sir Louis Davies ba not influence enough with the Government! of which he is a member to get jusvice for this province he should not be _ there. What is the use of eupport- ing a government if these matters ave to be sudmitted to arbitration. Independence ts very valuable. Neither Premier Sullivan or any man in his admin ‘strat op accepted favours = from the late Government. They ere pertectly irdepen- dent and fought our claims as strong!y as ii the Dominion Governimert were our opponents. He asked the electors to elect Blake and Paton, as they were mer of experience and business abilitv and in every way worthy of the confilence of the people. Mr. McCourt, the candidate for the Fort Aucustus District in opposition to M1 H.

Manv residents of this city will deeply regret to learn that Mr. William Smith, of Hillsborougn Square, lost his lite on Wednesday night as the result of a lamep- table accident. In Septeuber last, nearly a year age, Mr. Smith had a stroke of paralysis, from which he recover-~ ed, after th long illness, The effict of the stroke upon his’ brain was, however, noticeable in the fact that he has since imagined himself young and strong ap tableto take care uf himself, as in former years. On this account he sev- eral times placed himself in positions of danger, and his relatives were under the necessity of keeping him under surveil- lance On Wednesday last, accompanied by his wife and sister in-law, he went to Rocky Point on a little picnic excursion, During the course of the afternoon, while sitting on the shore, he expressed a desire to goand see the Indian encampment 1a the immediate neighborhood, and left bis companions for that purpose. As he did not soon return they set out to meet him. But he was pot to be found. One of the Indians had seen him passing by, buat he could not be seen or heard. The Indians kindly joined in the search and the local ity was scoured until dark,—in vain, On the following morning the search was re- newed and carried on throughont yester- day. Scmeone had seen him -following a pth throngh Mr. Newson’s fields towards the road leading from Rocky Point to the South sho Late in the afternoon, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Smith followed that road re 1 ty the shore, and, proceeding around the ’ } eS xhove, discovered the body of their father mony the rocks t the foot of the high tank in the vicinity of the summer resi- dence of Mr. Justice Fitzg-ra'ld.
