P»0ll'S ‘HW partner on December 23. The “new ” Liberal Leader and his satelitcs have been making much of _the afTidai'it for political purposes in the Souris election. They demanded an investigation and now they _will have the opportunity they appeared to be so anxious to have, and it remains to he Seen whether they will take advantage of it. Never iii the history of the l'rovince have such tactics been resorted to as those adopted by the "new ” Liberal Leaders in the present hy-election, and it is to bc hoped 'that they will not be taken as a precedent. No man who values his reputa- tion ivould care to enter politics, were he to he sub i ject to such scandalous treatment as has been meted out to the Cornmissioner of Public \\'orks, in order that the " new " Liberal Leader might have some ani- itituiitioii for a political campaign. THE CHAMELEDN PATlll0T lt is very dihicult to follow the tivistiiigs and turn- ings of the Patriot on the Arseiiault incident. It changes its attitude with chameleon-like rapidity and never finds itself on secure footing. \\'e were told in the first instance that the Commissioner of Public \\-'orks had been playing fast and loose with thc public inoney and seemingly anxious to get .\lessrs .~\. & P. .\rsenault to take several hundred dollars more than was due to them. When brought to book for these irisiiitiatioiis, the Patriot came out whiningly on Fri- .lay and protested that it had " rt'/'rniiwd from /'atten- mg/ any 0tIi'nm nr guilt ufon any pcrsori, tv/irtlwr it hr' the (`nn1rui_r_ri'0ircr of Public lVork.r, or the Secret- ` ary, _llr L. ll. _llr.lli`l1an, or even the Gotfcrrrnicnf i`f.r¢°lf." That was definite enough, in all conscience, hut evidently our chameleon-like contemporary was_ got at for its candour by some of the " new " Leaders in the interval between Friday and yesterday, for we ire now told that " .\lr ;\lc.\'cill is not in a position to throw the hlanie on any man. llc lrirriself, and he nlouc, must assume the responsibility. Upon him iildi:'idt1a1l_\~ and upon the (iovernment (this is appar- i-utly an after-thought and nulifies the Patriot's pre- vious asscrtioii in the same sentence) represented by hirii innst rest the blame." So there you are-you pay your tnoncy and take your choice. One day the |"itriot blames the Cominissioner and the Government, the ni-xt ila_v it exonerates both. 'l`he triitli. of course, is that the Patriot knoivs that .he infamous .\rsenault affidavit is a huge political* trick to lioodivink the electors of the First District of - Kings. Lt-ft to itself, the Patriot would admit that fi believes every word of the affidavit of the Secretary, of Public \\'orks, which gives the lie direct to the _\r.senaul_t allegations. llut under the new Leadership, the Patriot dare not speak the truth. lt must, per- force, do the dirty ivork of its new Leader, and for the time being that is to blacken the character and to! attempt to destroy the reputation of one of tlir most honourable mru in the Provirrre. In order to do the bidding of its "new" master the Patriot will stick at nothing. _lint what are the respectable and honest Liberals to think of this "new" journalism and new " Liberalism? 'l`lie Patriot knows all right. but it does not choose to tell_ O . ‘_ ln all__the _Churches on Sunday a special appeal was made' at the request of the Governor General on behalf of the Patriotic Fund for the present year. To-` day we publish* a special appeal from llis Royal Tiighness on the same subject. Already $3,000,000 has been distributed to henelicaries under the fund and it is _ _ To thc tune of eight solid coltiinris the Patriot --li,__ .\lr Philip Arseuault was in Charlottetown over he \leiv Year, but the Patriot carefull refrained At the meeting at Fortune Bridge, Mr _lolin E. Sinclair, Liberal candidate for Queen's, made the ex- cuSe for his appearance in King's the alleged fact that he wished to return the compliment to Mr Lauchlan .\lacdouald for the very able assistance he had render-I ed his (.\Ir Sinclair’s) father while in the local legis- lature. As Mr Laiichlan Macdonald was then a C on- .rer1'atr"z'¢' mrntbrr and ;\'lr Sinclair's father Liberal,3 readers will appreciate the gcnuincness of the assist- ance rendered. lt was just as genuine as is the Arsen- ault affidavit. Why can't Liberals be _straight and honest in their politics? _ Figures are puzzling things to the Patriot-it_ cannot grasp their meaning or signilicaiicc. Of course. it is not singular in this respect. The late lamented Lord Randolph Churchill, father qt' Winston of that ilk, was similarly handicapped. When he first became Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Permanent Undergl Secretary submitted the draft of the budget, and after looking over it bewilderedly for some time, Lord_ Randolph exclaimed: “ What do all these di-d dots mean? ” Decimals were not his fone. The Patriotl challenges the Commissioner of Piiilic Works with being intimately familiar with the -balance due the .-\rsenaiilt brothers on their contract, yet the Patriot itself is peculiarly at sea on the subject. ln one place it says the amount overpaid was “$675,” in another “$773,” while in yet a third it hazards the amount at “ $775." What does the Patriot know about- flle Subject anyway, but what the “ new " Leaders have pumped into it? ~ " notions sraorrriiiit 'ras cburvrni the Borden Governmt-.it is not strong with the people estitnated $8,000,000 will be required in the current of the Dominion had betfer revise th_eir_6piniot‘is. la`tiovn-men, women and children.
