'ne Better Terms motion of Sir Leonard ‘Tilley, notwithstanding the statement of the Patriot to the contrary, | will affect Prince Edward Island. On introducing his resolution in reference to the proposed subsidy to the older Pro- vinees, the Finance Minister stated that as the resolution now stood it afforded no increase to the three new Provinces, Columbia, Manitoba, and Islaad—though they| obliged to assume their share | of the additional The Min-! istry theretore proposed to amend the resolation by adding the following pro- a Br itish Prince i Ww ould be Iward obligation. vision :— Phat in regard to the provinces of Sritish | Columbia, Manitoba and Prince Edward Island, the increase by this arrangement shal! bear the same proportion to the population of | these provinces, as ascertained by the late | census, that the increaze in the four older| provinces bears to th« population of those | provinces, said sum to be capitalized, and | interest at five per cent. to be paid to these province 8.

Nor long ago the Reform Club of Montreal held its annual dinner at the ‘‘Wisdsor.” Messrs. Blake, McKenzie, Cartwright and the leading lights of the Grit party were invited to attend. It appears, however, they excused them- selves, and Mr. L. H. Davies was de- spatched, post hast, from Ottawa to represent their majesties at the festive board. By the reports of the brilliant assemblage we see that a speech was made by Mr. Davies. In that speech he sounded loud the praises of his Leader—Mr. Blake. He was a statesman, orator, and special pleader, without a peerin this vast Dominion of ours. As an instance of his statesmanship and oratory Mr. Davies referred his hearers to the magnificent attack the Grit Leader recently made on the various secret societies. It was statesmanship and oratory par excellence, and judging from Mr. Davies’ speech at the Reform Club banquet, he implicittly be- lieved every word his leader uttered on the subject. Mr. Davies’ name, how- ever, is found among the sup- porters of a Bill to incorporate a secret society. Nutwithstanding Mr. Blake's attack on the Orangemen of Canada; the Freemasons, the Odd- fellows and all secret societies, and not- withstanding Mr. Davies’ expression of his belief in Mr. Blake’s arguments, and the statesmanlike stand he took in the matter of secret societies, we find his name among the first who voted to incorporate the Orangemen of the Do- minion. This may appear strange; but, nevertheless, it is true. Mr. Davies’ course in this respect is not to be wondered at. He is a student of Mr. Blake, and Mr. Blake is his be au ideal, a8 a statesman. He, therefore, follows close in his footsteps as this instance proves: When Edward Blake was Premier of Ontario, a bill to incor- porate the Orange Society was intro- duced by a member of the Government, was strovgly supported by Mr. Blake and passed by that Legislature. Mr. Blake slyly winked at his Roman Catholic supporters, said “I'll fix it,” and while exhibiting a hypocritical face to his Orange supporters, advised the Governor of Ontario to veto the measure. This was done. It will thas be seen by these instances how consistent the Leaderof the Grit party in the Dominiou, and his Lieutenant for P. E. Island are. It will further be seen that Mr. Davies is an apt pupil of Mr. Blake's. He does not however go so far He is vot in the position to do s0, His intentions, nevertheless, are as good. Both are well worth watching. The Prohibition Movement.

C. Fremre, Esq., editor of the Char- lottetown Herald, delivered his lecture, on |The Pathways to Fame,” in St. Patrick's Hall, last night, under the auspices of the Catholic Literary Union. Mr. Mullally, President of the Union, occupied the chair. The lecturer opened by giving sev- eral definitions of ‘‘Fame,” that which he preferred being renown, or common re- ort. He also pointed out the difference between fame, and notoricty,which is gen- erally used in an adverse sense, instancing Cyrus (the Persian), Alexander and Cwear, as some of those who had acquired fame, while Erostratus (of Ephesus) and Guiteau are simply notorious. The lecturer, how- ever, deprecated military glory and consid- ered the consciousness of having done your duty as preferable to oceupy- ing a niche in the Temple of Fame. He expressed the opinion that P. E. Island contained men capable of ruling the world if the opportunity were theirs—an opinion, we need hardly say, the audience heartily approved of. The great men of all times were ably reviewed by the lecturer, and their relative genius commented upon. Choice selections from Tennyson, Poe and Gray gave tone to the lecture, while it was ren- dered racy by amusing anecdotes. The lecture was delivered without manuscript which appears to us a decided improvement, and it was on the whole really interesting. At the close a vote of thanks, moved by P. R. Bowers and seconded by F. J. Conroy, was carried unanimously. —_-- <-> + oo Meeting of Presbytery. The Presbytery of P. E Island met in Zion Church, Charlottetown, on the Ist inst. There were present Rev. J. Allan, J. M. MacLeod, Neil McKay, Allan Mec- Lean, J. G. Cameron, Wm. Grant, A. F. Carr, Wm. P. Archibald, E. 8. Bayne, Geo. McMillan, Wm. A. Mason and John Mc- Leod, Ministers, and Messrs, John McPher- son and David McLure, ruling elders. The clerk reported that according to ap- pointment he had notified the congregation of Murray Harbor that a call from the con- gregation of Musquodoboit, N. S., to their paster, had been received by this Presby- tery, and cited them to appear at this meet- ing for their interests. Rev. J. McLeod appeared in behalf of the Presbytery of Halifax, and Hon. James Clow, Malcolm McFadyen, M. P. P., and David MecLure on behalf of the congregation of Murray Harbor, The papers having been readand the parties all heard, the call was placed in Mr. Bayne’s hands and accepted byhim. In Mr. Bayne's decision the Presbytery acquiesced, and agreed to transfer him to the Presbytery of Halifax to be indicied into his new charge. Rev. J. M. McLeod was appointed to preach at Murray Harbor on 27th April and declare that congregation vacant, and convey an expression of the sympathy of the Presbytery with the con- gregation in the loss of their Minister to whom they were all warmly attached. Mr. Bayne carries with him not only the esteem and warm regard of his congre- gation, but also of his co-presbyters, and their best wishes for his suecess in his new field of labor. Rav. John McLeod, of Strathalbyn, was appointed to preach and moderate in a call in Cardigan and Dundas on 16th inst., at 11 o'clock, a. m, The Rev. Principal M. Kuight, D. D., was unanimously nominated as next moder- atur of the General Assembly; and the fol- lowing brethern were chosen as delegates to the Assembly, viz: Rev. Kenneth Mc- Lennan, Neil McKay, Alex. Munro, Wm. A. Mason, A. W. Mahon, Malcolm Camp- bell, Hon. David Laird, Isaac Thompson, Archibald Ferguson, Thomas MeNeill, James Carruthers, and Malcolm McDonald, Esquires. Mr. Stewart was appointed to preach in Georgetown and Montague during the month of April, and at Richmond Bay for ithe month of May. | Mr. M. L.

Messrs.

Prowse, Lefurgey, Gordon and myself. Well, the majority of the people of the Province could not have thought us traitors, nor our action traitorous, or most certainly, they would have punished | us when we appealed fo them for re-elction. | All were returned with good majorities— whilst the ‘‘Leader,” Mr. Davies, (who by the way, when he obtained his Leadership received it from the then five Liberal Con- servative members, of whom the ‘‘traitors” fermed four) lost his election in Char- lottetown and Royalty when opposed ‘to his former colleague, one of the so-called ‘‘traitors.” Where was ‘‘ Nemesis’ when the people committed this great out- rage? Perhaps she has flown to the Great Northwest, and become an Indian goddess! It seems so; but she has now returned with her worshipper, the ex-Governor, whom she has permitted to punish us by stringing tegether in his newspaper a lot of abusive sentences, as well as paragraphs, filled with misrepresenfation. ist. Then, in contradiction to the worthy ex-Governor, and in ussertion, as strovg as his, I say that we are. not ‘“traitors;” and, further, that the application of the word traitor to us, by the ex-Gov- ernor, is nothing more or less than the dodge of the thief who, from the commis- sion of a recent theft, rushed forth amongst the honest passers by vociferously calling out, ‘Stop, thief!’ The analogy he can draw. 2ud. I assert that, to my know- ledge, not one of the four gen- tlemen named ever attempted to throw the cdium of any of the Acts passed, when they were members of the Govern- Davies. 3rd. I maintain that the so-called ‘*traitors,’#and the Liberal-Conservative Party, which is theirs, were quite justified in removing taxation by whomeoever im- posed, if atime had come when they con scientiously believed it no lounger necessary. For myself I doubted the policy of re- moving the Act from our Statute Books for reasons which space here will not permit of my stating. 4th. I most positively deny that the so- called Davies Coalition Government came into being ‘‘to institute certain needed re- forms.” he cnly matter—and_ that is known throughout the whole Prevince as the School Question—which brought totally adverse elements together, was fully accom- plished by the firm stand of those Liberal- Conservative members in the Government and in the Legislature, who bore the abuse of themselves and of their party by friends and opponents rather than betray the trust committed to them by the people. When that trust was fully secured they felt themselves free to take any steps they thought proper to strengthen the hands of their party, which the ‘“‘Grits,” in the coalition Government had, from the very inception of that Gov- ernment, continually striven to weaken, whensoever opportunities occurred. i Enough for the present has been |said. The Worshipper of the Goddess of vengeance and darkness may thunder, but his sonorous voice and abusive pen can do no harm to men of honest purpose, nor yet to any Government acting to the best of its ability for the public good, Your obedient servant, G.
