Mr. Gordon and Mr. Yeo, Mr. Bentley od Mr. Sinclair, Mr. Perry and indeed, al u the principal speakers on both sides of the House were outspoken, hearty and sincere in their acknowledgments of the u seed iol: services rendered the country by Hon. Messrs. Sullivan and Ferguson. Some doubts were expressed by the Lealer of the Opposition as to whether, in forwarding the joint address to Her Majesty, the right course had, after all, been pursued. Buatthe point was pot strongly pressed. It is at all events certaiv that no better step could possibly have been taken to attract tothe claim of THER DAILY ‘EXAMINER, MA of the Empire at large, [dian Pacific Railway, it is to assume the com-'now should be able to pletion of the railway atjcomplete its system of some definite period,/railway communication which, from causes over|by an extension to P.

No appeal could possibly be made to any honest man or honorable govern- ment more likely to prove effective than one addressed to the higher motives of keeping faith inviolable and maintaining credit untarnvished ; and the fact that the appeal by Earl Carnarvon to these higher motives led to successful action in the case of British Columbia, should lend confidence to the hope that Earl Granville’s appeal to the same motives will prove equally successful in the case of Priuce Edward Island. In Earl Granville’s despatch there is, we submit, good cause for feelings, on our part, the opposite of disappointment and regret. Eirl Graaville quietly assumes that, as @ Matter of course, the compact with sion.* the Island the atteution of the press, politicians and people of the Upper Province Since the memorial was for- warded and the delegation sent, the right Province to continuous steam com- has been favorably comment- by the Toronto News, the Herald, the Montreal Gazette, and other leading journals; and both the Globe and Mail have been constrained to that the Dominion made a bargain of the i miuodication ed wpoo Montr: al admit with the Island which has not yet been fulfilled. On the other hand, the Monetary Times and §some other journals have dared to oppose the claim of the Province, and in doing so have exposed their ignorance of the subject and laid themselves open to cor- rection. It is true that Messrs. Sullivan aud Ferguson might, as easily or even more easily, have met ard confuted the erroneous staiements of Mr. McLelan and Sir Alexander Campbell in Canada as in Eoglaod. Bat if the memorial had not been sent to the Queen, the erroneous statements would not have been uttered, and so could not have been confuted ; aud the unfortunate misapprehension that the Island is a drag upon the Do- miuion would still have held undisturbed possession of the minds of Canadian politicians. Besides, it is doubtful if Messrs. Sullivan aod Ferguson could possibly have made their representations in circumstances so favorable as under the shadow of the British Throne and in the ear of an unprejudiced, fairminded Imperial statesman. Som ibts were also expressed as value of the despatch sent to the Dominion Government by Earl Granville. That it is nicely worded all agroed in admitting; but some disap- poiatment was evinced because the Secretary of Siste for the Colonies had vivived Her Majesty to command the Dominion Goverument to fulfil its agreement with Prioce Edward Island. Remembering thatthe Empire of Great Br itain is not under a despotic monarehy, he Government of Canada is iree government, it is ex a a menend ‘ ; S ml tO tne pra Cal not y doubtful whether f Fler Majesty would have b, , ive of good results, Such ymmand, even if admissible under our iiation, would be without a single lent to justify it. In the ease of Britis: Columbia, ‘the language used by Earl Carnarvon Was similar in tone and even ia words to that used by Earl Granville in our case. Here we have vident the fact that the | vert sidera'ions which influenced the Dominion Government to falfil its bar- have been our case. of Earl Granville gain with British Columbia, urged by Earl Granville ino Indsed, the surgestions are, anvthio more definite, practical and explicit than those acceptably | offered by Earl Carnarvon! Earl Carnarvon said: | “so in the present case} Earl Granville says: “It would give me it may possibly be ac-jmuch satisfaction, if by ceptabic to both parties/the exercise of any that [ would tender my (friendly offices which I «ood offices in determin-|could tender, I should be fn ¢ the new points which/able to contribute to the have prese nt = e., in-| settlement of a question, selves for sett! mut. lin which the Provincial Gove ‘“nment were 80 much interested.* T ad-| “Although I have not} \ l, cat reagon/seen more than a prima | why t ir of both! facie opinion as to the I shoult not be\feasibility et a moderate i to their satis-|cost, of the proposal for th ; icelits solution, I hope that 3ts concern-|it will be found to admit #f a satisfactory sottle- ment,” this Province will be kept; and he also assumes that,from the great fact that the Domiuion Government has nobly main- tained her credit before the world in the case of British Colambia—at a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars—she will not fail to do her duty towards Prince Edward Island. Moreover he suggests that as there seems to be reason for doubting whether any really satisfac- tory communication by steamship ‘can be regularly maintained all the year round,’ it is “all the more important that the proposed Metallic Subway should receive a full and if feasible favorable considera- tion on the part of the Government of the Dominion.” No language that Earl Granville bas the right to use towards Canada could possibly be clearer than this; and rightly considered it cannot fail to give satisfaction to our people. In the course of the debate reference was frequently made to the report of the sub-committee of the Privy Council, and to the memorandum of Sir Charles Tup- per. case of British Columbia was referred to with telling effect. The representations of Sir Alexander Campbell and Mr. McLelan—wrong as they were— were not half so extravagant as those made by the late Government with respect to British Columbia’s claim. The bargain with P. E. Island was not characterized as “an insane act.” It has not been said that in prosecuting their claim the people of the Island are “only setting at de- fiance the whole of the rest of the Do- minion and the laws of nature.” In respect to the conditions of the Union with this Island, no one has yet said that “it is impossible to conceive how such terms could have been proposed, as it was quite clear to every person that they were incapable of fulfilment.” It has not been urged that ‘* no govern- ment could live that would attempt, or rather pretend to attempt, their literal fulfilment.” In{point of fact the grouad taken by the Dominion Government wheu opposing the claim of British Columbia before Karl Carnarvon was much strong- er then that taken by Mr. McLelan and Sir Alexander Campbell when opposing the claim of P. E. Island before Earl Granville. Yet the Canadian Pacific Railway is now the great, grand, con- summated fact iu the history of Canada. Theo, may we not confidently hope that, although strenuously opposed by Mr. McLelan and Sir Alexander Campbell, the claim of the Island will, ere long, be recognized - and favorably considered by the Dominion Government? It is apparent that the opposition of Mr. MecLelan and Sir Alexander Campbell, in our case, proceeded from a grave misap- prehension of facts ; and itis to be pre- sumed that, now that the misapprehev- sion has happily been removed by the timely and strenuous exertions of Messrs. Sullivan and Ferguson, and now that Ear! Granville has spoken, the opposition ot the Dominion Government will cease. _ eee e— —— ———-- Rev. Silas T. Rand, L. L. D.

Mr. Gladstone is a pronounced Philo-Hellenist ; he has proved his faith by work in years long past, when at his suggestion the Indian Isles were given up to the Greek kingdom. The act has al- ways been looked upon by the Greeks as evidencing a friendly feeling on the part of Mr. Gladstone. ~ They were grateful, but their gratitude was of that sort which is a ‘‘ lively sense of fayors to come,” and they are furious that the British Prime Minister should be foremost in the ranks of those who are bent on repressing the war spirit of to-day. The day the allied fleets appear in the waters of the Pirsus will be one on which the Greeks will ex- ecrate Mr. Gladstone’s name. There is, however, a genuine feeling that this country has a just ground for war. This course is not based on any maltreat- ment of the Greeks by the Turks, although the different vationalities in the Macedonia are at daggers drawa at all times, and the unfortunate Turk has all-he can do to keep the peace.
