It | tells the storyof Liberal profession in op- position and Liberal failure in power, a story that has been made very familiar to most of the provinces,and is now being — made familiar to the Dominion by the Laurier Government at Ottawa.” The} fFazette adds: “That the indictment thus vigorously set forth is a true one the failure to reply to it of the local Liberal press would be evi- dence enough. The peopleof Prince Edward Island did not get economical adimininistra- tion from the Liberal party. There is no province in Canada that ever did get econo- micai administration from the Liberals, There has been no Liberal Government in Canada, federal or provincial, that has reduced expenditure, or lowered taxation, or lessened the debt. There has been no Liberal government in Canada, federal or provincial, that has not increased the expen- liture, added to the taxes or augmented the debt. The Peters Government, in its failure, has been false to its promises but true to the traditions of its party. It had been thied and found wanting. The people of the:island have its record before them and should know how to deal with their unfaitaful servants.” AND COMMENTS. —The Huntington, Quebec, Gleaner, one of the ablest and most independendent of the liberal newspapers in the Dominion, forcibly criticises the work of the govern- ment during the late session of parliament. It points out that the “government has failed to realize the expectation of those who placed it in power in three regards: in the tariff, in not reducing the expendi- tures, and in granting of subsidies.” NOTES — We are in receipt of the report of the Registrar General of New Zealand of the census taken in 1896. It shows that, exclusive of Maoris New Zealand contains a population of 703,360—371,415 males and 331,945 females. The Maoris population amounts to 39,834. The increase of the whole population in five years was 76,702 per- sons or at the rate of 12.24 per cent. Of this total increase 58,673 persons represent the natural increase by excess of births over deaths and the remainder—18,029— the excess of arrivals over departures, —Sir Wilfred Laurier, in an interview published by a Liverpool newspaper, said he could not assert that the Peterson line would be extremely populer in Canada; but the scheme had§ been undertaken be- cause it was to be the best means of de- veloping the country. Canadians thought it would attract passengers to al! parts of North America, because the route would be shorter and more pleasant. Sir Wilfrid admitted that although Peterson, Tate & Co., had madea binding contract under a penalty, the success of the undertaking would depend upon the flotation of the new company, and that there would be but little remedy if this failed. —The Island Farner ought to know that the readjustmeut of the subsidy is one thing and the consideration of the claims of Prince Kuward Island another and different tuing. With respect to readjust- ment Sir Oliver Mowat has plainly inti- mated that the Government will not at present consider the question; with respect th ourciaims Sir Oliver has assured us seem | THE DAILY FXAMINER, CHARLOTTETOWN, JULY 8, 1897 vhatever these needs and claims just- vademand will be suecorded to them.” That is to say without arbitration and independently of party the Government will carefully consider our claims and do justice to Prince Edward Island. We | rest in the hope inspired by this provinee. —— 72ers or ESTEEMED EXCHANGES. Montreal Gazette; It wonld look now as if Mr.Hardy might keephis word and not hold the Ontario provincial elections for a while. The extraordinary high-apending debt-creating accomplishments of the Laurier Government at Ottawa, shown during the late session, has created a feel- ing that it will be wise to allow to cool down before votes are asked for any great division of its party. St. John Sun: Times have chanked with Mr. Tarte since he became Minister of Public Works. One year ago he re- marked to the electors of St. John’s, Que- bec. “They tell you I am a boodler. I tell you, gentlemen, I have uot twenty-five cents to my name today.” <A few months ago ex-alderman Dubue of Montreal died, leaving unfinished a magnificent cut stone residence on Sherbrooke street. According to the Montreal correspondent of the Toronto Worl: Not long since the Minister of Public Works offerer Madame Dubuc $25,000 cash for the house, it being understood that he would have to spend $19,000 more before being able to occupy the palatial residence in question. As Mr. Tarte is a ‘lolly good fellow,” his friends ure delight- ed to know that the sun of financial pros- perity shines continuously upon him. Montrea! Gazette: An Ottawa despatch savs the Liberals there calcn)ate on being defeated at the end of five years and are going in for making the most out of their opportunity while it lasts. It wil] be no emall pile either, A hundred million dollars of expenditure authorized in twelve months simply puts the Laurier Govern- ment’s record out of sight. Montreal Gazette - Ifthe Liberal party has a fund out of whien it can pay $10,- 000, $20,000 or $30,000 for a newspaper organ, is there any reason why it should not use some ofthe same fund to buy men?

We hearthat a number of the Liberal electors of “Fort Augustus district are dissatisfied with the selection of Mr, Cummiskey. It is reported that they proposed another man at the Convention but —as one of them remarked—*Peiers would have his way.” It is complained also, thaita number of those O; posed to Mr. Cummiskey were crowded out of the little room in which the convention was held. TE - e— ——- FIRST DISTRICT OF QUEENS. ad lress Liberal-Conservative Candidates in the Field, A convention of opponents of Mr. Peters’ government was held at Bradal- bane yesterday afternoon.

All members requested to attend. ine «= = TEMPERANCE IN THE *PROVINCE The committee of the Baptist Associa- tion appointed at the recent meeting at Bedeque to report upon temperance, sub- mitted the following :— Dear Breruren,—Your committee on temperance present the following report : As the trafic in strong drink yields only evil and that continuously, the attitude of this Association toward it must be one of relentless Opposition. It is our duty as the Baptist Churches of P. E. Is!and to make known, from year to year, our pos ition on the temperance question to the public, that it may know just where we stand and that the members of our Churches may be ~treogthened in their sentiments and prin- ciples, We believe that any one who refuses to become a total abstainer is unworthy of Church membership and that any member who is known to tipple should be disci- plined by thechurch of which he is a mem ber. We also believe that the snbject of temperance should be more frequently taught in our churches both by preaching and by teaching in the Sunday School, and by distributing temperance Jiterature among the members, Not only is it the duty of our churches to preach the glorious Gospel of the Son of God, but to teach men “that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and Godly in the present world.” We further believe, that we should help, in every way possible, those temperance orgauizations outside the Church which exist forthe suppression of the liquor traffic, We would further state that it is our belief that as the drink tratlic is a menace to the well-being of society that the state should enact laws to prohibit it. That we have a perfect right to expect, yea, to demand from our representatives ia Gov- ernment such legislation as shall protect us trom the dangers of the drink curse. And further more, that we politely but firmly insist that our Government at Ottawa carry out the pledges made to the people on the eve of the last Dominion election, aud that a plebiscite vote be taken at as early adate as possible, a majority of the Dominion, irrespective of any provincial attitude’ deciding the matter and further- more taat such vote be taken on its own merits and not trammeled with the ques- tion of “direct taxation” indirect tax~ at.on. Respectially tted, or Si bn J. KE. Tiner, Chairman of Committee. OFF ON A BIKE. I am tired washing dishes she said, It is work I do not like. ] am going down town this very day To buy myself a bike.
