WEST PRINCE ELECTION.

Tue mercenary appeal of the agents of the Goverment to the electors of West Prince to support the party in power for the sake of promised grants to their public works, together with the still more potent influences pleadel ty Messrs De- Janey, Myrick, Yeo, and Company have to keep that in the Liberal column for the present. In the face of all these influences Mr. Hackett has practically held pared with the votes polled for him in | 1896 and 1897.

In 1897 he polled 1533 votes; yesverday his The gaias made by him in

riding

iis own, com-

vie was 1525, some parts of the ridinge over his vote in 1897 have been just about offset by the un~ fair and disreputable canvass made against ,him. A most significant fact, as showing / how the wind blows is thet Mr. Hackett

In connection with this election reports are current of an unsavory deal by whicb the taxpayers of Canada may be called on to pay a large sum to an Americas firm, arising out of the bad faith of the United } States Government in transactions which occured twenty-seven years ago. When the electors know more about this affair they will probably arrive at the conclu- sion that Mr. Tarte has at least one col- Jearue who agrees with his maxim about “elections not won by prayers.”

While deeply regretting the distinct loas to the country involved in the defeat of so able and honest a man as Mr Hackett, the Conservative Party and itstrusted candi- date, have the satisfaction of knowing that the Government, notwithstanding the anfat meane in’their hands, have not been able to recover, even temporarily ,their old strength in West Prince, which they alleged was made a Grit hive in the redistribution of 1891.

REQUIREMENTS OF OUR TRADE.

The Board of Traie isdoing more than its duty in regard to a second winter steamer, direct steamship communication

with Great Britainaud cold storage. We feel sure that the public at large, par~ ticularly the farmers throughout the

country, wil] appreciate the efforts which the Board of Trade ie making to secure these boons for the Province. But it is really too bad that we havea Governnient which needs to be enlightened in regard to these matters and to be urged and pressed by delegations and correspondents to do that which the development of our trace at once requires and demands, The minis~ ters were, we are informed, quite surprised ai the extent and importance of our wiuter trade, dependant now upon but oue stearn- ship, and delighted to learn that the Stanley is self-sustaining in so far as the winter service between this Province and the mainland is concerned. Sir Richard was, no doubr, wonderstruck when he found that substantial progress had been

made while he had been crying blue ruin,

done nothing and the country isstill in th, | dark as tothe actions and intentions o the Government. This is slow—much too

slow.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

—Hatirax Heraup: Those editors who continue todemann that the heads of the Senators be cut cff are really giving evi- dence that they have lost their own heads.

—Orrawa Journnat: If the United States were to offer to buy Cuba from Spain for $100,060,000 or even $200,000,000, it might be agood solution of the Cuban problem. ‘Lhe United States has quite a record too in the way of buying out Euro pean interests, The States bouzht Louisiana from France in 1864 for $15,000,600, Florida from Spais in 182@ for another $15,000,000 and Alaskatrom Russia in 1868 for $7,000,000. Britain never sold any territory to the States, but she has given more to the States free than they bave bought or gained from aj] other sations com biged.

In Memoriam.

Oa Friday morning, April lst, there passed from time into a glorious inmortale ity beyond the grave, one who deserves more than a passing notice. Lasbeila, youngest danghter of the late Donald Me- Liuehlan, of Marshfield, Lot 34and beloved wife of Alexander McLaucblapn, of Hillsboro,

Lot 38. In every relation of life she was worthy of imitation. | Her last jiilnees, which was pro-|

tracied and very painful, «ne bore with Christian patience and resignation to the

Divine Will. In ber youth she was converted to God and al] hcr life bore evidence ty her

consistent conduct to the reality of the

charge. The writer has often heard her

speak ef a sermon she heard a Mr.

McBonald, a Free Church Minister, since

deceased, preach in the old Temperance

Hall, in Charlotietown, as the means, under Gods Holy Spirit, of her conversion She was @ great studeni of the Bible and it was hard to find any person better versed in the Holy Scriptures thanshe wae. She wasa member of the Preebyterian church at Mount Stewsrt,and always took a great intercst inthe church and very seldom was her seat inchurch vacant. The 22nd Paraphrase was a great favourite with her im her daet ilinesr. When ebe was suffering most she would request some one to read fome passages from the Bible and particularly the 22nd Parapbrace. All that medical ekill or kind friends ceuld do for her was done, but all was unavailing. She leaves a dis- con solate Lustand and three eons, the eldest Mr, R. D. MecLauchlin of St. Peter’s Bay, W. L. in Boston and John A. on the homes tesd, 10 mourn their lost which is her eter nal gain; alto a very large circle of friends and relatives who will not soon forget ber plessant countenance and kind and cheerful mano er. Her remains were interred in the cemetery at the old church in W est St. Peter’s Conridering the almost impa ssable etate of the roads @ very large
