MR Rmekrbos 3 LEHER P tientlenieii:-Re 1)ea.born’.-i Perfect Biking Powder,
would say that we have found this article to be absolutely I
pure and thoroughly wholesome. No better baking powder
from the standpoint ot chemical science has ever come be-
fore our notice. its blend is as near perfection as has yet
been attained, whie its high order of leavening power signal-
ly markes it off' from the multi-fazious baking powders of in-
terior grade, which is our misfortune to meet with so often.
in iiiiothcr coliiinn will be found the
letter of .\Ir. Alcxiinilcr Robertson of Red i
Point in whicli in moderate and \\'ell-cho- 
reduce the number of members in the C
l Iiegislntiire and to estnlilisli non-partisan
Etlovernuient in Prince Edward Isluud.

And it is to bc oi_»scrved that with the el-

,ittcd from our local politics it might be as
c;is_v to give adequate expression to racial,
_religious and sectional sentiments with
only six members as it now is with ton
members for each county.
But Mr. Robertson contends that the
eleInent“of party in our representative in-
' stitutions is not a had thing, but a. good
 and necessary one. In support of this
iposition he refers to British history and
the rapid growth and progress of the Ein-
pire since the party system has been in-
troduced ani perfected. It does not fol-
| low, however, that this splendid progress,
I which has been coincident with, and has

Mr. Robertson cites the instance of a.
coalition on Prince Edward Island,formcd
or a. certain purpose, and which purpose
it effected, thoughlthe coitlition after'-val d
went to pieces, and argues from this that
non-partisan Government if now estab-
lished must inevitably fail. The precedent
cited does not _instify the conclusion nt
_which he hits arrived. Rather does it
show thiit n present union of the strong
men of both parties with the object of
ilifting thc Isliinil out of the political
Slough of Dcspond would succccil in
,cficctiiig that purpose. But there are
other precedents, notiihly the union of
Libcritlnnd Conservzitive lenders formed
and lcd by Sir John A. Macdonald, which

@"~‘n he will atlmit that the combination
was an exceedingly strong and enduring
lone and hits powerfully affected the
development and the destiny of Canada.
A telephone iuessage was received on
Saturday from thc P. I. Island HosLi'a__.l,-
stating that THE GUARDIAN had been mis
. in-formed in regard to the visiting days;
that the Hospital is open daily except on
Sunday to friends of patients, while
Thursday is the general visiting day. Our
first information was received from a
source which we deemed entirely reliable.
` In view of the importance of the ques-
tion hoth to the Hospital and the general
' public it might be well for the Trustees to
give an authoritative statement as to the
I times and conditions upon which the
' Hospital map be visited,

Ought we to have the same complicated
machinery and methods for directing the
local concerns of a. hundred thousand peo-
ple as for directing the large and general
concerns of five millions of people?
It is clear that if the same rule must
apply to a. very small local Legislature as
applies to a. large national Parliament,
then we have as the 1ogim 
,the party system ought to be extended
'downward to the smaller and still more'
