That their efforts were in vain is Their failure was due, not to the the unimportance of the public rights involv- true. weakness of their argumente or to ed, but to the majority supporting the Gov- Mr. DeeRoches, of Miecouche, was particularly vigorous io his defence of ernment. the rights of fishermen. He referred in the couree of the debate to the scandalous case cf the Koman grant under which a live oyster bed, open to the public, was deliberately secured to the private uee and benefit of a party supporter, whe last year, it is said, obtained from the bed a profit of about $500. The Opposition sought to prevent a repetition of such outrages, as well as to put it out of the power of the Government of the day to lease parts of the beds of rivers to friends who migbt use them to the exclusion of the public, for mud digging purposes, The bill as submit ed by the Government contained this clause : “Applications for grants and leases of the beds of rivers, lakes, harbors or foreshoree, or for fishing licenees, or for leases cf flats for ihe cultivation of oysters, or for any such purpose, shall be made in writing to the Attorney-General’s.” To this clause, Mr. DeeRoches moved an amendment as follows: “ Provided always that only exhausted oyster beds or grounds on which ne live oysters are to be found, shall be granted or leased for the cultivation of oysters, ex- ceptipg in oases where Dominion licenses were already iseued,” If this amendment had beew accepted, the injury to our oyster fishermen could not have been extended. But it was, after discussion, deliberately rejected by the | Farquharson majority. The Legislature was-not, in view of the unsettled condition of the fieheries case, and the last hours of the session in which the bill was submitted, in a position to arrive ata wiee or just conclusion about the matter. But the Government and their majority hurried the bili through— evidently to promote the selfish en ls of sundry Liberal partisans. x o+e+o— PRUIT GROWING AND POLITICS. It is not at all surprising that Premier Farquharson bas taken upon himself the control of the orchardist eent to this Prox vince by the Dominion Government,— even though he was expressly directed to con~ fer with the President of our Fruit Grow er’s Association arrangements, before making any Premier Farquharson s2ems to think that because he is jast now ia office here, everyone else, however com~ petent. ‘* to be excluded from the direction of affairs. The President of the Fruit Growers Associatonis a we'll known and successful orchardist. Yet he and the As- sociation he represents—the men who origi- nated the present movement towards im- proved methodsof frui:-growing—have been deliberately snubbed by Premier Farqubar- son. Such men as John Robertson, of Inkerman, Edward Bayfield, D. A. Sharpe (all Liberals we believe) and other Liberals ) porters of the Libers] Party. ! } prominent in the Fruit-G,owers’ Aszocia tion, (uct to speak of Father Burke, Sena- tor Ferguson and other who are Conseva-~ tives) have been deliberately Measrs. D harson and F.L. Harzard, of this city, Mr. R. C. McLeod, of Summerside, Mr. Benj. Rogers, of Alberton, Mr. J, J. Hughes of Souris, and Dr. Robertson of Monta- gue have been appointed to direct the movements of Mr. Kinsman, eo long ae he Not these genilemen is known to be prominent taken horticukiure.

The temperance men and prohibitionists of P. ¥. Islacd have bad much to bear of late, but this betrayal of their hopes by ‘their own familiar friends in whom they trusted’ and with whom they had so ofien taken counsel is the severest blow of all, It must be resented by all who value character and principle, by all who see the necessity of maintaining Lonor ard honesty in public life.” — The May number of the Horticulturist, the monthly magazine publisbed in the interests of the orchadists of Canada, is a capital one in every particular. It will be of special interest to Island subscribers as it contains a splendid article on Fruit Growing in Prince Edward Island from Rev. Father Burke’s facile pen and an ex~- cellent photogranh of Governor Howlan, of Father Burke himself, and the latter’s pretty home at Alberton. sgn meres ays, Stearns Bicycles... are undoubtedly the Best.

The Tribune says : “The Winnipeg Liberal Association, in so far as the majority of iis members are concerned, affords a typical illustration of ‘machine pclitics.’ It is composed very largely of men who hold offices, or who hope to hold offices, of men who hold government cons tracts or have plans which depend for their success on government favor. Cit i~ zens of foreign birth and ideas, unfamiliar with our institutions, have been added to its membersbip by the hundred, and their membership fees paid,not by themselves, but by the engineers ofthe machine. The last occasion of the nemination of a Lib- erel candidate for Winnipeg affords a memorable and discreditable illustration of the operation of the methods of the ma- chine.” Our latter<day Liberals are not at all scrtpulous concerning their methode. Their object is to “hold on to office” in spite of public opinion. ~ Wanted to Borrow On first class City property, situated on Queens Square, a sum of money to pay off « loan now bearing 6% interest which rate is considered too high.
