But his early decease was not iticipated. He was born at Halifax on the 12h of March, 1834; and, therefore, had not reached his fifty-ninth year. For many years Mr. Findley was one of our ‘ea ling men of business. He carried on & suc cessful trade, first at Urws li and after wards at Charlottetown, as & memor of the firm of W. A. Weeks & C He wes one of the fitst and most zealous promoters of our starch industry ; and het ok a lively interest in most of the euterprises under taken during his resitence here.

It als attempts to show that Promier Peters has n to cflice after his done right in holding the Lieutenant Gov advice was rejected by ernor, whose confidence he did not possess We shall take the last point first. Tod: isan accepted authority in respect to con- stituticnal Gorernment. The constitu- tional principles by which a Lieutensnt- Governor is to te governe’ are set forth by Todd, who says “In a modified, but most real sense, even the Lieutenant-Gicovernors of the Canadia Provinces are representatives of the Crown And inasmuch as the system of resp nsibie government has been extended and applied to the Provincial constitutions within their re- spective spheres « faction, as un-eservedly as in the Dominion itself, it follows that that 8; stem ought to be cacried out in its entirety; and that the. Lieutenant-Governor should stand in the same relation towards bia bxecu tive Council, and towards Local Legislature as is occupie! by the Governor-Ge veral in the Dominion, or by the Queen, in the mother country.” Todd further says that it is a mistake t Cabinet of the day is 4 suppose that ** th hii oligarchy exercising an mtrolled power in the administration of public affairs, sub ject only to the necessity of obtaining me jority in ths popalar branch of the legis lature to approve their policy and to justify their continuance in « flice government, however theoretically defensi- : such a form of ble in the abstract, in the estimation <f some political thinkers, ws sol that of the British Constitution.” Again, Todd says, ‘* if at any time he (+ Constitutional Governor) should see fit to doabt the wisdom or the legality of advice tendered to him, or should question the motives which have actuated his advisers on any particular occasion—so as to lead him to the conviction that their advice had been prompted by corrupt, partizsn unworthy motives, and not by regard tu the honor of the Crown or the welfare and advancement of the community at large,— the Governor is entitled to have recourse to the power reserved to him, in the Royal Instructions, and he withhold his assent from such advice.” it is laid down, too, by Todd, that should it be necessary for the Crown to proceed te extremity and reject the advice of its ministers upon a particular occasion, ** it is for them to consider whether they will defer o the judgment of their sovereign or insist upon their own opinion ; and as 4 last resort they must decide whether they will yield the point of difference or tender their resignations ; for in the words of Lord John Russell, a minister in such a position is bound either to obey the Crown, leave to the Crown that full liberty which the Crown must possess, of no longer con- tinuing that minister in office.” Now suppose that Premier Peters had acted in accord with the well-known prin ciples ot the British constitution as inter- preted by the greatest Canadian authority, an authority to which both the Dominion and Provincial Governments defer, —sup- pose he had taken the ordinary course, what would have been the result? He would have resigned his office upon the refusal of the Lieutenant-Governor to assent to his bill. The country must then have been appealed to—only a year in ad- vancé of the expiration of the legislative or other or to tefm. If the constitutional changes, provided in the Reserved _ Bill were justifiable they would have been endorsed by the people to whom both he and the Lieutenant-Governor are properly subject. He would then come back to power probably with a re- spectable majority at his beck. More than that the Lieutenant-Governor, whose act had been condemned by the people would have been compelled and he would now, strong in the confidence of the the people, be in a position to carrry out all his designs. Why did he not adopt this proper, constituiiona', dignified and} judicious cause / Premier Peters not confide in the ‘People ? have to retire; reasonable, IX hk. si SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 15. oats 1893 snd fair piay were fairly submitted to the intelligent | tors of P.

Prowse Bros. have een fit in their advertisement dated 14th ustant, to reflect upon our integrity, we have decided to publish the documents re- 1 to in our letter of the 15th inst. Early last fall we advertised prices of Brussel carpets, etc., etc. On the 14th November last ve received the following telephone message from Montague Bridge, purporting to have been sent by one John MePh« rson err [copy.] Telephone Company of P. E.” Island, Date, November 14th, 1892. Where fr -Montague. To Ja Paton & Co.,— In amin want of some carpets. Can you cive me the best five-frame Brussels for $1.10 yard. Iam no judge ot carpets and will have to rely on you to do what is right. Kindly answer by return mail, and oblige, JoHN McoPHeERson, P. O. Box 8, Montague Bridge. Immediately on receipt we connected with Montague and requested the operator here to give us ‘John McPherson.” The perator replied that McPherson .*'‘lived ap the country” and had gone heme. We then vrote a letter to ‘‘John McPherson, P. O. Box 8 ,Montague Bridge,” siating prices of different grades of Brussels carpets, ete., ete. By the mail of the 15:h November we received the following reply : [copy .] MonTAGUE BRIDGE, Nov. 14, 1892. m- fo Jas. Paton & Co., Mean Sins,—Your favor received. I only want at present two ends of 14 yards each for two matts, and four yards of fringe, some pice pattern with some redinit. Will leave it to your choice, I will want several carpets and will be in this fall and pick them Enclose please find P. O. order tor carpets, urselves, $4.55. Don’t knew price of fringe, but have put it at 25c a yard. Also enclose 25c for freight to Cardigan station. Address parcel to\John McPhersor, Montague, care of F. Mc- Cormack, mail driver. I wiil be hauling to the Bridge teemorrow. Don't fail to send it by afternoon train to-morrow. Yours truly, JoHx McPHERSON, We sent the carpet on the 16th Novem- ber, addressed as directed, but we did not vend the fringe (as it was not in stock) or the invoice. A few days after we sent the fringe and invoice, directed as requested. Ihe invoice reads as follows, and speaks for itself : Joun McPHERSON, Bought of James Paton & Co. To 3 yards Beussels carpet, $1.00 Freight on above 4 yaids fringe, 22c Postage on frioge 9 $4.22 Cr. By cash per P.§O. order $4.55 Allowauce on postage 34.64 lo stamps returned for balance 42 We filled the order,sent the invoice and re- turned the stamps as change in a business- like manner and thought the matter ended there. Oa the lst December last, Messrs. Patton Bros. published a card headed, ‘** STARTLING REVELATIONS,” which contained the following statements respect- ing our honesty, viz: (copy.) ‘*Some of our competitors are contin- ually howling ‘Best five frame Brussel’s tarpets for $1.10 per yard, and five frame Brussel’s Carpet from $1.10 up,’ when it’s s matter of fact that some customers, al- though they supposed they were getting the best, only got a four frame, which is an in- ferior carpet, and unless a customer is a judge, they can easiiy be misled. If any pers.n will call we shall be pleased to ex- plain the difference. We are anxious to do business, but won’t do it unless we can do it fair and square. We shall never ask you for one dollar of your money by misrepres- entation or deception. Ch'town, Dec. Ist, 1892, eod & wky. We concluded that we should not allow ‘lying statements” of that nature to pass uanoticed and we caused the matier to be submitted to a few friends in the city. Our object was, firstly, to get pressure to bear upon Messrs. Patton Bros., to withdraw their libellous advertisement, and second- ly, to make arrangements between the merchants, whereby business uotices should thereafter be free from nasty inuendo and be couched in gentlemanly language. Messrs. Patton Bros.,Prowse Bics jand cur firm were represented at the meetings, At the first meeting Mr. Charles Patton, of Messrs. Patton Bros., charged us with hay- ‘ng sold a 4 frame Brussels Carpet for a 5-frame Brussels, and produced our letter of the 15:h November, directed to John MePherson, which contained our price list. The letter contained nothing which reflect- ed upon our firm in any way, but Mr. Chas. Patton produced the carpet that we had sent to Mr. John McPhergon, of Montague, and attempted to prove to the committee that we had sold it as first class Brussels. We challenged him to produce the rest of our correspondence addressed to Mr. John McPhersson and the invoice. He refused to do so. We could not account for Messrs. Patton Bros. having possession of our let- ter addressed to John McPherson and of the carpet. We proceeded to investigate the McPherson transaction and discovered the foilowing facts :— First—That the name ‘* John McPher- letter of the 14th November, was fictitious. Second--That Chas Patton, of the firm of Patton Bros., had been at Montague Bridge on the 14th November, and sent the telephone message to us. Third—That one John Robertson, of Montague Bridge, was the telephone opera- tor who transmitted the message, Fourth—That the letter of the 14th of November, purporting to have been signed by ‘‘John McPherson,” was in fact written by Join Robertson at Chas. Patton’s dicta- tion Fifth—That Robertson was the lessee of Post Office Box 8 at Montague Bridge. Sixth—That Chas. Patton had received the carpet before heleft Montague, but he left betore the fringe and invoice reached there. Seventh, that a vile conspiracy had been hatched by Messrs. Patton Bres. to injure our bus'ness Big discounts on all lines at the Dominion Why did! Boot and Shoe Store.—J B Macdonald. teb16 6in We we> Mr. Chas, Patton and -Messrs. Prow:re Bros. before the committee at a subsequent meeting and stated our dis- covery. The consequence was that Chas, sou,’ signed to the telephone message and a Would you Like to go Shopping in MONTREAL COLONIAL HOUSE, PHILLIPS SQUARE, MONTREAL. Special ‘attention given to Mail Orders f,adies’ and Children’s Boots, and Millinery. Kisaecm ee Patton confessed his part in the matter and the following spology was signed :— (COPY APOLOGY ) “Whereas an advertiscment of ours pub- lished in the daily papers under the heading ‘Startling Revelations,’ December lst, cor taining statements, respecting the carpet business that reflects serioasiy on the business integrtiy of James Paton & ('o. We hereby publicl y declare that we were not in possesion of all the facts of the case at the time, aud we admit we made se mistake which we now deeply regret and make this spology to them for the words used. “If any injarions statereats has been made by any of,our employes respecting the matter of such advertisement, we hereby retract them. a (Signed) Patron Bros , Witness (W. W. B.) Ch’town, Dec. 5th. It was then agreed that the apology should be published, and that advertise ments reflecting upon our integrity should not thereafter be published by Messrs. Patton Bros. ‘ After the agreement had been made, Mr. Chas. Patton informed us that his firm was about retiring from business. We there- fore d. cided not to publish the apology or take steps to punish the guilty parties. We see now by Messrs. Prowse Brothers’ advertisement of the 14th inst. that Mr. Chas. Patton is still employed in the busi- ness, and that a similar style of advertising has been continued by Messrs. Prowse Bros. The Pattons may be ‘hard-working, en- ergetic and obliging,” bat we leave it to the public to judge of their business in- tegrity. JAS. PATON & CO.
