BREACH ‘OF FAITH.

Beeacn of faith on the part of private ta dividuals ie rare and disgraceful; on gact of politicians ofa certain clase—now -mubappily the more influential in office and sower—it is common and too apt to be , We have had

>

condoned or commended. aetable instances of this fact in the recent Listory of this Provinee; and a particular!y gross case has lately been developed be- tween the City of Halifax and the Minis- cer of Railways. It appears that Mr. Blair promised a deputation of Hali- fax merchants that the rates of freightover theIotereolonial railway would not be ¢banged until after Messrs. Harris and Pottinger had visited the city and ascer- tained the views of its leading citizens. Zn the}face of this promise, the tadle of rates has been changed, though Messrs. Harris and Pottinger never went vear Halifax, avd an adverse discrimination of two cents per hundred pounds bas been sxade between that city and St. Joho: The people of Halifax are, of course, iu- digoaat at both the breach of faith and the discrimination against -their port. The Mayor of the city at once sent to the Minister of Railweys the following tele.

gram : “Hon. A. G. Blair,

“Minister of Railways, Ottawa:

“Astonished to find import freight tariff

from Halifax add St. John establiehed, taking effect 17ib inst , when it was die- tiactly understood at interview with you chat the rates would not be fina'ly deter- enieed antil after Mesers, Harris and Pottinger visited Halifax. Why ie this? Please answer. “Avex Srernex, Mayor.”

Theanswer desired had not been received wt latest advices; and men of al! parties are denouncing the Ministerand his action. The breach of faith is glaring and scandalous, tke discrimination unusual and unfair uader the circumstances, besides being destructive of Halifax interests. Mr. Peter Janis, formerly manager of the Dominion Atlantic Railway, said, in an interview with the Halifax Herald:

“Tt is ridicujous to makea different through rate from Halifax to Montreal and from St. John to Montreal because of a paltry 97 miles longer haul in the former ease. Besides, if 1 remember aright, the {. C. R.inotaking import busine-s from eteamers at Si. Joho must crose the canti- lever bridge, paving for the privilege, and use the C. P.R. terminale, also paying therefor. These expenves would off-et the liff-rence in cost of the longer distance, A big road like the I. C. R. shon!d adhere to the rule of a uniform rate obcerved by all through lines.”

Mr. H. J. Chipman also said :

“T do not think it just that a government road should discrimioate in favor of one place as against another. There are two recognized winter ports of Canada, and it eeems to be the spoken policy of the goveroment to encourage the trade of Canada to be done through Canadian ports. Supposing the repor: concerning the tariff provisions is correct, then T can only say it is an injustice to Halifax. The mileage is 97 miles greater to Halifax than to St.John. On the other dhaod, freight delivered at St. Jobn over the I. C.R. would have to pass over the euepensicn bridge, the tolla of which are equai to 140 miles, making the discrimin- ation agains: Halifax greater than it would apparently seem, as the railway could de- liver at Halifax cheaper then It does on the weet side of St.John where Europesn eteamers are loaded. Halifax must have the same rates as St. Jolin. Tie diffrence of 97 miles is a mere begatelle. For in- stance, the routes from the westto New York, Boston and Portland often vary 400 miles; yet the rates are identical.”

Uf this view be correct, the diecrimina.

and

~Gon against Halifax and the bumilistion

of that city before her commercial rival, St. John, are unjust and indefensible. But

~ oar interest lies rather in that phase of the

case which relates to thetbreach of faith. Every part of cau e

min, io to make common egeiast a Ministerof the Crown, or any public man, guilty of -ach an off-nce as that of which Mr. Blairgis charged. It is above all things impertant that trath and

honest every

‘Loneaty should prevail in public matters

as well as in private matters. ‘* Righteous ness exalteth a nation.’’ A breach of ia'th os the reverse of righteous. Sach a thiog ought not to be tolerated by the people cf Canada. Our politicians ought to be «low to promire; but sure to perform.

THR DAILY EXAMINER, CHARLOTTETOWN, JANUARY 21, 1898

THE MAYORALTY. Tua office of Mayor of Charlottetown is the most honorable in the gift of the city; therefore it ought to be given to those who deserve honor as the reward of good service to the city. this principle Mr. Warburton are both ineligible for election at the present junc - ture. The former has enjoyed the honor for several yearsaod ought now to give place for some one else who muy deserve it; aod the latter has never yet had an oppor- tunity to deserve the honor. ¢Tbat both are men of ability everyone well admit. But the fact that they are eo will, we feel sure, constrain them not to stand in the way of many eligible candidate who has obtainedaclaim upon the mayoralty by reason of good service in the City,Council. The large requisition presented to Dr. Warburton must be highly gratifyin$ to bim and bis friends; for it shows that he is popular and that his fellow-citizens have conitdence in him. Bat it seems to us that Le should bave first been asked to take the really more importaat and respor- sible position of a City Councillor, while the Meyoralty should be offered to ex- Councillor Haszard, ex-Couacillor Crabbe, ex-Councillor McLean, Councillor Horne, Councillor Hughes, Counci'lor Nicholson or some other eligible gentlemau who has done good service in the City Council and knows the ways of the Couucillors and has earned atitle tothe place of honor at the Council Board,

ABOUT THAT SUSSIDY ?

Upon

WHAT

Tue Montreal Gazette has ihe following paragraph :

* The Nova Scotia Government is re- ported to be pressing a claim for $600,000

against the Dominion, on the ground that the government took over and now oper-

ates the Eastern Extension. Railway, which the province bonussed. Prince

Edward Island wants an additional grant, said to be atthe rate of $50,000 a year. The provincial statesmen are likely to call often at Ottawa, however, before they go back with these sume in their pockers. The Ministere at Ottawa cam have more profit aod fun spending their funds direct.”

The Gazette apparently forgets tha the Liberals obtained their victory in both the Dominion and Provincial elections upon the distinct understanding tuat the promises made by liberal politicians in reepect toan increased subsidy would be carried out. If they should not be carried out—if the additional subsidy promised should not be obtained—the people will have cause te spurn the deceivers when next they appear to solicit their suffrages.

ESTEEMED EXCHANGES.

—The Herald: The remarkable spectacle was presented (at tue last Dominion election) of a Pro-

testant Leader acd many followers fizht- ing for the constitutional rights of Catbo- lice, while arrayed against them, etriving with might and main to prevent the res— toration of those rights was a Leader who called himself a Catholic, and several! fullowers similarly masquerading. The obstructionists won. Ali honor to Sir Charles Tupper, Sir Hibbert Tupper, Sir McKenzie Bowell, Hon. Mr. Dickey and the numorous other Protestants, who manfully steod up and batt'ed for the con- stitutional rights of their Catholic fellow citizeo*, Tey took their political lives in their bands and staked their all, as public men, on the success of what they knew and believed to be a righteous cause. They lost; they were defeated; bus surely they willl soou rise again.

After some good play McKee, on @ pass from McKenzie, sboi a goal for Summerside, the tirst of the eveniog. A few minutes later, McKee shot a second goa! for Summerside.

THE CITY OF SLEEP.

Over the edge of the purple down, Where the single lamplight gieame, Know ye the road to the Merciful Town, That is laid by the Sea of Dreams— There the poor may lay their wrongs away, And the sick may forget to weep ? But we—pity as! ab! pity use! Be wakeful! oh! pity us! We must go back with Policeman Day— Back from the City of Sleep !

Weary they tura from the scroil and crown, Fetter and prayer and plow— They that go up to the Merciful Town, - For her gates are closing now. It is their right in the bath of Night, Body and soul to steep. We—pity ue! ab! pity us! We wakerul! ob! pity us! We must go hack with Policeman Day— Back from the City of Sleep !

Over the edge of the purple down, Ere the teader dreams begin, Look—we may look—ai the Mercifal Town, But we mev not enter in Outcasts all, from her guarded wall, Back to one watch we creep; We—pity us! ab! pity ue! We wakefui! ob! pity us! We that go back with Policeman Day— Back to the City of Sleep ! —Rudyard Kioling.
