THE DAILY EXAMINER | "=" orer2ssazen

AUGUST 16, 1838, THE NET DEBT. ®~ the 30th of June last, the net debt of Canada was shown in the CanadaGazetic, to be $257,613,907, and on the 36th of July—just one month later—it was $261,.- 693,321. That is to say, our Libera] economista, on their own showing, added to the net debt of Canada in one month the sum of $4,069,414,

The height of the pwhlic debt under Liberal rule is without precedent. Yet the Liberale were elected and placed in office upon the strength of their declara. tion that they would reduce the height of the debt.

Early in July THe Examiner stated that the Goveroment jad during the last firan- cial year, added $4,000,000 tothe net debt

of the country. This statement was at once denied by The Guardian and The Patriot; and not baviog at hand the officia] proof of theftsta'ement, we withdrew it. Bat The Canada Gazette now shows that if debt

Jast year, it was added in the first month

the amount was aot added to the net

of this year; and so Tne Examiner is prac-

ic lly vindicated

WHAT'S IN A NAME ? Someone, who bas had the good taate andthe prudence to withhold bis name from the public, has, through the columns

of the Guardian, expressed hie dissatis~' faction with the oame “Victoria Park’ Roadway” and his preference for the name of “Boulevard.” Mr. Lewis Tanton, in Tre Examiner, depreeates the adoption of “Boulevard” and -aggests “Victoria Ter- race.” As between these two, we think the latter is to be preferred. There are several objections to the uame*‘Boulevard,”’ the fatal one being that its adoption would’ necessitate the dropping ef “ Victoria,’ “Victoria Boulerard” or “Victoria Park Boulevard,” would be so incongruous that it is not to e thought of. If Victoria” is to be retained we must either adopt “Terrace” or bold on to the present pame. The selection of a name is a matier of fitness and good taste. While “Boulevard” may be suitable {40 Paris or Chicago, it would not,in our opinion, be fitting to Charlottetown. “Victoria Park Road” (or Roadway) is good English, and good enough for us.

THE SOUTHERN RAILWAY.

White enjoying hie hclidays here, Sir Louis Davies took pains to show his pereonal interest in several movements of importance to the Province, and to promise for them 4 coatinuance of his friendly aid. But there was one matter alout which he did not say much,—vyiz the Southern Railway. The people of Belfast have, in our opinion, been shame-~ fnily treated by the Liberals. They gave the Bou. David Laird his opportunity to win the politica, /onors that have been showered upon him. Influenced by Mr. Walsh, they caused ‘he repeated re-election of Sir Louis Davies throughout the long period during whic) he was in opposition. They kept him in the House of Commons, They enabled him to form those friendships and alliances with Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Sir Richard Cartwright, and other leading Liberals, which have re- sulted in his promotion to a Cabinet pos ition and his elevation to knighthood. But now that the Liberals are in office and power, the repeated promices of Sir Louis concerning their dersand for a railway remain unfulfilled. The costof the rail- way they need woul! be but a mere drop in the bucket of the Government’s enor~ mous and increasins expenditures. But the Government wil! not expendit. The people’s needs, the people’s just demands the people’s services to Sir Louis, and Sir Louis’ promises to the people,—all have gone for naught. I: is poasib'e that we

shall hear something from the Govern~

ment about the Southern Railway shortly before the next eleciion. In the mean- time Sir Leuis sings small concerning it. >

—The heartfelt sy mpathy of the people of Charlottetown will, we feel sure, go out towards their highly esteemed fellow citi- zen, Mr. Patrick Blake, and his family in this hour of their bereavement and sorrow. Mrs. Blake’s sudden and unexpected death is another striking example of the uncer~ tainty of life in this world. On Sunday evening, she took her accustomed drive in the park, and was apparently quite well. Last evening sbe was il] ; and at half-past eleven o’clock last night she was dead. A clot of blood, in the brain, causing pars aivsis, resulted in unconsciousness during which ber spirit pas-ed away.

—According to tive latest advices the troops of Genera) Kitchener are now ad- vancing upon Khartoum, and we shall soon hear news of the fiual act in the Egyptian drama. Not lees than 20,000 men are On the march.

THE DAILY EXAMINER, CHARLOTTETOWN, AUGUST 16 1898,

A corresreNpvenT of the Mail and Em. pire points out that the Globe’s figures show the expenditure of the Pust Office Department for ’95~'96 (in round figures}, to be $3,665,000; and tor °96-"9; the sum of $3,789,000, being an increase during the first year of Grit rule of $124,006. Then the revenue for 95-96 was $2,964, - 000, and for the year "97-98 was $3 501,- 000, being an increase of $537,000, which, of course, reduces the deficit by that amount. But it was not through any effort of Mr, Mulock that this reduction of $537,000 was made, but simply the natur- al increase of revenue. boasted improvement in the post office

balance is due,not to Mr. Mulock’s manages |

ment, but to the prosperity of the country caused by the continuation of the Nation« al Policy asintroduced by the Conserva- tives, instead of the introduction of the free trade policy as promised by oar Grit

friends when they were in opposition. I I A

—The Halifax Herald says: “William Elliott Smith, @ prominent manufacturer of Alton, Illiniois, with his wife and two daughters are inthecity. They have been visiting Cape Breton and P. E. Island, and are delighted with every feature of the province—except the fares at certain hotels, which they describe as admirably calculated to drive <ouriets away. “It seems @ pity that when publishing reports io thediscredit of hotels, etc., passengers and papers are not definite. We feel sure that there are many uotels here, and in Cape Breton a'so, in which the fare: are eminently moderate; and it is too bad that these should be coudemued together with those which “sock i' into” wealthy sum- mer tourists. We presume that William Zitiott Smith in his reference to “certain kvicis,” alindes to some particular hotel sitnate in Cape Breton.

The Choice of Paints.

Two-thirds of ibe cost of painting con- sists of the item of labor, s0 that economy in painting consists in using a paint that witl last and look weil fora Jong time. Then there is the point of preserving pro- perty. Poor paint that cracks and pe!ls off allows mosture to penetrate, ard the thing painted rots or rusts as quickly, if indeed not more quickly than if it were unpainted.

‘When the question arises, what kind of paintto buy tor painting a house, or a barn, or a plow, ora floor, many people are content to leave the selection to the pairt dealer or the painter. This some- tiraes results in lose, because painters make mistakes in mixing, or ur? deceived in the materials they buy, and dealers sometimes eell inferior goods for the sake ofa littie temporary prifit. The safest plan for the purchaser isjto go by the label. if the label bears the name of he Sher~ win William Company tbe paint in the can may be depended upon. The Sherwin | Williams ready-mixed paints have behind yhem a successtul record of twentyenine wears, which is a very satisfactory thing for the paint user to thirk of when be invests his money in painting. These paints are not limited to either zine or lead in their making but use the best of both, in the right proportions, tozether with the best oil and best drier, so that the user gets all the paint value there is in each of these ingredients. The Sherwin Williams’ paints are prepared for every purpose, a special paint for each, aed by getting the proper paint for his purpose the paint-user practices the best economy and gets the best eftect. Different qualie ties are needcd in a paint for painting a house and one for painting a farm wagon, and the paints for interior decoration in the home are very different from those prepared for use on bugg:es and carriages. A paint that would wear best and look best for ove purpose might be eatirely unsuited for another. A postal card sent to the Sher- win-Williams Company, 21 St. Antoine Street, Meatreal, will secure a book con-~ taining vaiuable hinte on paint and paint-

ing.
