J. Palmer or Mr. John F. Whear, the other lawyers on the Government side ot the House; Mr. Whear has the stronger claim if services during election cam- paigns are to be the test. Mr. Palm- er, hasit is true, done consider- able campaigning during the last two elections, and has won his elec- tion in the Fort Augustus District.

In this connection, a few remarks may be permitted concerning the post-election attack ‘upon the Opposition because a D. 1900, assigned all | point was not made of the fact that the Premier of Prince Edward Island appealed to the country ‘quite alone as far as departmental ' colleagues were concerned.’’ The 'Guardian’s conduct reminds us of the immortal Admiral Porter who, ‘when the breezes blew (or the battle raged) generally went below ‘‘to seek the seclusion which a cabin Two political storms passed over the country,two battles were fought, and our Guardian of ae 4a 7?

If the Guardian were ‘‘on deck’’ at the time, and really independent, it might have done so.

Ws have not heard Mr. John |}Quinn mentioned among those for 'whom it is the intention of the | Liberals to ‘‘ do something.’’ This Mr. Quian | has strong claims upon the powers ‘that be. He has, in connection with Mr. Whear, the recently elect- ed member for Charlottetown, ren- ‘dered the Dominion and Provincial administrations much valuable as- sistance at election times. He has it seems, been of use to Mr. 'Farquharson ia connection with the | hiring of his scow to the Public |Works Department. Mr. Quinn's ‘naturally retiring disposition pre- 'vents his pressing his strong claims upon the Liberals, and we have therefore deemed it advisable to say these few words in his behalf. If provision cannot be made for his association with Rear Admiral | Hobkirk in the fisheries protection service, er with Mr. MacKenzie in |the Registry Office, he might at | least be appointed assistant to | Mr, Norman J. Campbell, the hard- worked Inspector of Licenses. | ' ' j | ' ; ; ' oe ae NOTES AND COMMENTS. | Ir is to be noted that with two winter steamers the Liberals give u no better winter mail service than | ae Tories gave us with one.
