THE DAILY EXAMINER. APRIL 26, 1882 F Yoo Thin Pus I'striot declares that the Speaker ot the House of Assembly did not rule in re- spect to the suggestions of the Legislative Council, and asserts that he made ‘‘no rul ing Upon the point. The Patriot has, evidently, been misinformed. Everyone knows, everyone admits, that “‘sugges- tiona” ate considered; with closed doors. it was because they knew this that the con had the Legislative Council amendments brought down as ‘‘sugges- tions.” Consequently, it is not likely that the Speaker “‘simply remarked to the ef- fect that the practice seemed to be that tuch suggestions are considered with clos- ed doors, but he saw no rule on the point, awh would leave the House to decide,” Hsut supposiag that he did make this simple remark, there would be no necessity fur a division of the House if the Opposition had not contended that the amendments srould be received as amendments and not the Speaker had not spiratorcs es eaggaetions, and u ruled in their favor. rhe case is one about which neither of the mewspspers can speak with absolute ior it arose behind ‘‘closed Bat reasoning from that which know, oartaioty, loors. we know to that which we doot pointse to theconclusion that Tur Examiner is right aad the Patriot wrong. — -- -— ooo The City Councillor's Petition. lar, petition of several City Councillors, presented to the Legislature on Saturday last, sete forth that it is desirable to elect one of the Water Commissioners each year ws heretofore, and that itis not desirable tv enact that one of the Water Commis- sioners shall be elected by the Legislature to remain ia office a yeat longer than the term for which he was elected by the people. This Jatter request is 4n eminently reasonable one, Indeed, the Legislature ought aot to usurp a power which has been veeced in the ratepayers of Charlottstown As to the first,—the Water Commissiouers are elected year by year in they all went out together, 4 them might properly be entertained.

Nawsrarers throughout Canada have in the past week been commenting upon a re- port, having its source in «an interview, that Mr. L. H. Davies intends soon to re- tire from polities. It is, of course, not likely that the report isa mere advertiae- ment for Mr. Davies. Nor is it likely to have sad its origin in idle talk. unquestionably some grounds, for such a re- port. Mr. Davies has certainly been some- what successful asa politician. He suc- ceeded, upon two occasions, in persuading * number of electors that the Tories were gang out and the Grits were coming in, He succeeded in keeping Mr. Donald Fer- guson —a man of extraordinary ability, who could have promoted the Northumberland Straits tunnel and served the country wel! in many other directions—out of Pariia- He succeeded in placing Prince Ed ward Island in the cool shades of UOpposi- tion all these years. All the same, he is a disappointed politician. His ambitions have not been gratified. He has not been made « Cabinet Minister. He has not been ele- vated to the Bench. Though he premsturely took possession of Mr. McKenzie's chair, he has not been deemed fit to fill Mr. Mc- Kenzie's shoes. Though the Grit Party is wow so poor that there are none to do it reverence, and thoagh the Leadership of the (rit Party is now sbegging, there seers to be nochance, no hope, that he will bo Leader of the Opposition. In these circumstances, it would not be very wonder- fal if he seriously contemplated retirement from politics, Perhaps he has even come to regard himself as the political Jonah on account of whom the Opposition ship has so long been kept out of the port of Gov- ernment. There are indications, too, that he has had his eyes opened as to the ten- dencies and results of ** Unrestricted Reci- procity;” for the concluding words of his speech upon the budget indicate that he is ** in favor of as broad and free trade rela- tions with the United States as is consist- ent with the honor and dignity of the coun- try.” This is precisely the position taken, and always held, in respect to reciprocity, by the Liberal Conservative Party. We can readily believe that Mr. Davies would aot advocate & policy leading on to Annex- ation—if ne knew it. The wonder is that he did not know it long ere this, and that he did not declare that he could not follow political leaders who are prepared to go **the whole hog.” Yes. There may be something in the report that Mr. Davies, following the example of Mr. Blake, con- templates retirement from politics. There are ment. wwe en Petty Boodling.

Spurgeou's Habits and Principles, Sixr,—The writer of *‘ Protest,” in Tue EXAMINER, of Saturday, says: ‘* Mr. Spur- geon used neither wine nor any intoxica- ting liquor as a beverage.” leaders will remember the scathing and trenchant re- marks from the pen of the great preacher in reply to the ** unco guid” who attacked him for smoking, as he termed it, ‘* for the glory of God.” Said he, “1 demur altogether and most positively to the state- ment that to smoke tobacco is itself a sin. There is growing up in society a Pharisaic system which adds to the commands of God the precepts of men. To that system I will not yield for an hour. The preservation of my liberty may bring upon me the upbraid- ings of the good and the sneers cf the self- righteous, but I will endure both with ser- enity as long as I feel clear in my con- science,” etc. His biographer says : ‘*‘ Never was there a divine more human. He smoked his pipe and drank his glass of wine, taking it, like Timothy, for his st mach’s sake,” ete. It is difticule to see the object of the ‘Protest’ when every member of -the As- sembly advocated the cause of temperance. And aithough tne writer tried to show that the good and the true should not be con- demned because they had tasted wine or beer, aud that, but for the labors of such men, the world would have missed many works characteristic of the highest intellec- tual attainments, yet the contention was that the too free use of drink was a great evil to sccieiy. D. Goxpon. House of Assembly, April 26th. ccd. A dlp a That Liquor Law. Sin,—The act regulating the sale of liquor recently passed by the House of As- sembly and soon *o be submited to the Legis’ative Council is, in the opinion of the bulk of the peeple, a stepin the direction of a license law. A license law is the only safe way to regulate the liquor traflic. The making of the interior of the place where liquor is sold visible to the eye, the re- moval of screens and other obstructions are not such sure ways of suppressing the evils attendiug the sale of liquor as the restric- tions of a license law when worked by a license of character and common sense. Under the license law none could sell but the licensee. Under this act everv citiz n can vend. The temptation to weak brothers and tender-minded children is sad and the results will certainly be deplorable. The doctrine that people should only do that which they would do with the whole woild looking on won’t work in this progressive age, nor never worked in any age. sa tt i a a RN AN A A ES Personal.
