TRIBUTE TO MR. FOSTER.

[From the Montreal Witness, Lndepeadent Liberal.]}

It world not be easv to improve upop the reply which Mr. Poster made yester~ day to an Ottawa interviewer who invited him to‘diseuss the Quebec conference,’ which was tatamountto asking an Opposi tion leader to criticise and condemn the Canadian commissioners who are mem- bers of the Goverament, The ex-Finance Minister replied :—

“I think not at this etege. There is mach speculation as to the resui of the Qu: bee

practicularly gratifying are the expressions o' admiration for Britikh motives, p licy, aad achievement which have emanated from the ruler and press of Germany and from the press of the United States. Lord

these great nations; and it is evideut that he bas succeeded. With Germany the United States and Great Britain standing t getber, there is a guarantee for the wel- tare of each, aad of the world at large.

THE CONSERVATIVE LEADERS.

Tue warmth of the reception of Sir Charles Tupper by his constituents in Cape Breton and the men of Pictou and Halifax, may be taken as convincing evicence that the true worth of the Leader ot the Con- servative Party is recognized and sppre- ciated by those who know most intimately, and that his views concerning public affsirs are shared in by increasing numbers of the people. It is significant oat his old ere my, the Halifax Chronicle,

him

feels constrained to restrain the torrent of abuse and to express, “apart from politics,” some admiration for his fight- ing qualities end his wonderful vigor. The tide must have turned when the tone of the Chronicle is so completely changed. As for Mr. Foster, proof of the estimation in which he is held may be found in the article from one of the most extremely

Liberal journals in Canada—the Montrea! *

Witnesse—which we quote in this issue o¢ Tue Examiner. The moderate, patrioiic and statesmanlike course pursued by Sir Charles Tupper and Mr, Foster with refer- ence to the international conference at (Quebec has com mended them to intelligent men of all classes. These men are not merely party politicians, anxious to score a point against the Government. They have the good of the country at heart.

NOTES AND COMMENTS

— ‘We started this war for bumanity’s sake and we have been inbuman to our own troops,” says the New York Herald. This according to the reports, is true, and ‘pity “tis “tis true.”

—The Montreal Gazztte says that Mr. Fisher, the minister ot agriculture, should give his early atiention to the dairy export business, The shipments of cheese have been falling off all summer, and are how a qnarter of a million of boxes under last year’s record to late. Butter, also, which at the beginning of the season showed an increase, is now also dropping away, and the recordis many thousand packages short of that of ‘ast season. All this isa state of affairs not looked for under the rule of a practical minister of farming. It should be mended at once.

ESTEEMED EXCHANGES.

Montreal JGavette: The election of a Conservative to:be P. E. L. Legislature in the place of Mr. Warburton, the recently resigned Libera. premier, shows that the party there has good men to uphold its cause.

Canadian Home Journal: It is not a new saying that war snd the liquor traffic are two of the greatest curses of humanity, It ie none the less true, however, and be-~ cause it is true it should receive the serious consideration of cvery person who has the mental capacity to give it intelligent thought.

Mail and Empire: Senor du Bose wants to sue Canada ‘or $500,000 because Sir Wilfrid Laurier ordered him out of the country. Sir Wilfrid was woduly anxious to show himeelf anti-Spanish in the war. At the same time we are not going to pay half a million dollars to Mr Da Pose. Sir Wilfrid does not give away millions and half millions except to people who are doing something for the

party.

conference. Various interests hold, of course, @ variety of views, but it is safe to say that all would Jike to see vexing ques- tions settled and the best of relations tiru- ly established between the United States and Canada. I purposely refrained from discussing any of there in my meetings, nor did I notice any other desire than that the government should have the support of the whole country ia presenting a sirong Canadian case. The trip strengthened, if possible, my faith and pride in Canada. Since 1886 the whole face of things west has change’, and the great prozress made is but faint promise of what the next decade will see.”

That isa statesmanlike utterance, and the sincerity of it is very obvious. Mr. Foster is astrenuous political opponent, an unsparing critic, but he is at one with the Laurier Government inthe desire for a settlement of ‘vexed questions’ and the establishment of ‘tne best relations between the United States and Canada.’ Mr. Foster does not hesitate to encourage and strengthen Sir Wilfred Laurier and the Canadian commissioners in their work by declaring publicly that, though he addressed public meetings for the po litical purposes of the Opposition, ‘he did not notice any other desire than that the Government should have the sapport of the whole country in presenting a strong Can-~ adia» case,’ a declaration which is well worth repeating. Canadian seem to have been elevated and broadened

Fine Weather----Large Crowd---- Charlottetown Boys Do Well.

Atthe Charlottetowo Amateur Athbleti Association grounds yesterday, a large number of people witnessed the competition for the Maritiu.e Provinces Championships.

The weather was perfect, and this, with the eplendidly appointed grounds, heiped to put everyone in good humor.

The best of feeling prevailed amongst the competitors and their friends, The visitors, of whom there were many present yesterday from the other provinces, expres- sing their pleasure time and again with the arrangements of the track and the impar- tiality of the officers.

The principal contests were watched with much interest. At the close of the proceedings the Wanderers were declared the winners by 2 points, having a score of 40, with the Abegweits, of Charlottetown, 38. Had our representatives all belonged to the same team, Charlottetown would have been ahead, but some of our contest- a its belonged to one club and some to another, and division of hovors was responsible for the apparent second piace.

The following is the prize list:

Here McKinnon increased his gait and in face of a heavy wind up the back stretch, soon placed 100 yards between himself and his remaining rival, a far famed racer. This lead McKinnon pluckiiy maiatained tothe fisish, run- ning the mile inthe excellent time of 4 min. 50 sec.

100 YARDS HURDLE RACE.

Coombs, the St. John man also won this race, with Ruggles of Halifax a close second: McPherson, Steele and Hell were the other contestants. Coombs’ time was 17 1-5 seconds, whieh

baats anv record ever made by a Mar.- time Province man. The record for the provinces is 17 seconds med2 in 1889 by A. A. Jordan of New York. THREE MILE BICYCLE RACE. The s‘arters were Davidsoo, Uc- sworth, Cook, Harrigan, Mumford,

Sellar, Scott, Clarke and Newsome.

Unsworth won the race by a plucky and very fast quarter coming down the home stretch at ateriific rate amid the most vociferous cheering of the day. Crowds rushed on tbe track and carried him bodily into the dressing rooms so glad were they to see the champion of other years again wearing the laurel leaf cf victory. His time was 8. 26. Mumford got second place ard Cook third. Newscme wes riding s fast race ? but lost his pedal on the last lap.

Both Ritchie and McKinnon distinguish~ el themselves in the running races, and Henderron’s pole vaulting was a very creditable achievement. The Island champions by their performances made their admirers justly proud.

The fect that the Massey: Harris tropby was not competed for caused much disap- poiotment, as this event had been an- n> nced and was expected to take place.
