Tuese Liberal conventions and meetings indicate that the ministers are contem- plating a general election. But of course the final decision wi!] not be made until after Mr, Tarte comes home. In the meantime those who think that the prom ise-breaking government which has raised the public expenditure to $60,000,000 a year should be voted down, will do well if they prepare forthe fight,—which may b= on before three months have elapsed. - —=-_ — ANOTHER EXCUSE.

Another excuse was that the population of Canada had increased at least double or treble as fast as when the Liberals § were in opposition. Upon this latter point the Montreal Gazette remarks as fo! lows: “Hon. Willham Patereon presides over the Customs Department, and issues the tables of trade and navigation. In Mr. Pat- erson’s report to the Governor-General, dated 10th January, 1899, is the following calculation of the growth in the popula- tion of Canada since 1891, the year of the census :— Raa has ass 4,843,256 Ts, ail ti sdtisedey ae a os comes Sep uneeniins San BN i saa wp dg essens in ~ fetal 5,083,434 NE Ricca axis <i'vce ove bubeien: A RA . . cieahecic ec cectness ME 1898.

Sr. Dunstan’s CoutLecr, within a mile of Charlottetown, was opened for the re- ception of students in January, 1855, During the forty-four years of its existence it has been ever faithful to the mission for which it was established, namely, to give to those of our young men who desire to doso an opportunity of completing their studies. Tothe good work done in St. Danstan’s during s!l these years its alumpi both at home and abroad are ever ready aud glad to testify. Thie inetitution has moreover merited the recognition and es- teeu. of the great centres of education in the Dominion. In 1892 it became affiliat- edto Laval University. This event mark- eda newand more prosperous epoch in the history of the college. Since that time the nomber of students frequenting its halls has yearly increased, Lust year a hundred and twenty young men enrolled their names on its register. Being no longer able to accommodate the ever increasing number of students, the college authoritiee deemed it advisable to erect a new building, which wiil be ready for occupation at the beginning of the present echolastic year. This new wing is 98 by 40 feet, 4 stories high, with a large and wel) lighted basement. Ip the new building ~ill be the library, reading room, infirmary, chapel, convocation hall, laboratory, etc. The old college has been thoroughly re- modelled and repaired. Both buildings will be heated with steam and fitted up with eyery other modern improvement, including bathrooms, improved system of sewerage, eic. In a word,nothing has been spared to make of St. Dunstan’s College a first-class educational establish-~ ment where studente,togetber with a sound mors! and intellectual training, may find al] the comforte that goto make e¢ollege life pleasant and homelike. With ite large skating rink and ite first-class bicycle track encircling the spacious grounds, St. Dunstan’s offersto students sources of re-= creation and amusement seldom found in netitutions of this kind, The prospects for the incoming year are very bright. Mauny applications have been received from abroad, particularly from the Province of Quebec and the New England Statea. The staff of profeesors are an earnest and competent body of men, all ex~ perienced teachers, and with the increased afforded by the new building, they will, no doubt, see that the high stands «hb» Taciiities ard of education already acquired in old St. Dunstan's be nsintained. The board of governors deserve the highest praiee for their spirit of enter prise, and their good work will no doubt be appreciated by our young men who in- tend tukjog a college course. —In view of the supposed certainty of wart with\|the Transvaal, some British in- vestors are selling their holding of Ameri- can stocks.

The steamer Brent, built for the Marine Department by Mr. John White, O’Leary was given atrial trip yesterday afternoon, She lef: Pownal wharf about twenty minutes past threeand returned to the Plant Line wharf about five o’clock. The steamer went Outside the harbor about five miles and On return went upthe harbor a short distance beyond the ferry wharf. There were on board of the Brent during the trip Mr. Douglas Stevens, Governmeat Inspector, Mr. Lord, Agent of the Depart- meut of Marine, Mr. W. C. Hobkirk, Fisberies Inspector, Captain Brown, of the Stanlev, Mr. Poole, Locomotive Foreman of the leland Railway, Mr. D. A. McKin: noo, M. L. A., Mr. Artnur Peters, M. L. A., Mr. T. A. McLean, Mr. H. B.Smith, Mr. J.T. Crockett end a goodly number of other citizepe. The trip was a pleasani one, the Brent behaving splendidly. The maxi- mum speed attsined during the trip was ten knote—two more than the contractor was asked for. The Brent has been well built by Mr, White, who comes of a family of ship- builders, and the wacbinery, which was made and supplied by Mr. Bruce Stewart, is of the best description. There is good accommodation for officers and crew. The deck houses are finished in ash, with skylights of oak. The work upon the deck houses was done by Mr. Henry Huntley, of Charlottetown. It is thought that by the time the Brent is finished and fully equipped for work her cost wil] not be less than $18,000. A regrettable feature of the excursion was the accident which happened to Capt. Mutch. of the Marine office. While des. cending from the top of the cabin to the deck the captain lost his balance and fell heavily to the floor striking againet the end of the hatchway and breaking his arm near the shoulder. He is under treatment at the Charlottetown Hoepitai.
