THE TIIE T0 “D0” SOMETHING-

The Halifax papers and especially The

Chronicle have been considerably exercised over The Guardians accountof the “chilly interview" with Hon. Mr. Fieldinir dill” ing his recent visit to this citi- The chronicle .vers that the people 0! Cher- lottetown do no know Mr. Fieliirg; that he is not a promiser but a deer; that hi likes to look at every side oi a propositioi and usually selects the wont side for ex- amination drst; that ro sound cause eve:

appeals in vain to Mr. Fielding; ihathe ii habitually better than his word, being s cautious man of generous and kindly dis- position; that he wands to assure himsel that he is making r o mistake before hi acts; and nnally that “Charlottetown can well afford to trust Mr. Fielding and wail

in the conddencelthat it will get ‘full justice.” _

The entire article is intended to be soothing and it is quite apologetic in tone. We arelleft to guess whether it was or was not inspired by the Minister himself. Be thatfas it may we beg to observe that both{Charlottetown and the Island have been engaged in the “trust- ing” and “waiting” business for lo, these seven years. Some [ of the 'confident trustcrs and waiters who were in vigor- ous middle age when the Laurier Govern- ment came in are now bald headed and spmaeiid viui-ima. 11 ln-. Fielding is such a “doer” as The' Chronicle says,-

and ye have still some hope of him-and if the election is really coming, he had better “do” somethingynetty quickly.

An rliicial announcement is made at

Ottawa that the Grand Trunk Pacino

Railway Company have deposited ore million pounds guaranteed stock as secur- ity for carrying out their agreement with the Government.

But, the terms of the agreement re-

quired that this deposit should be made wituisimriy days otihe passage of the Transcontinental Railway Act. That date

l has long since elapsed and so the agree- ment has not been carried cut. Moreover the terms of the 8¥1‘°°m°n°

requiie the deposit of "five million dol- lars in cash, or approved Government securities, or party ill “Sh 'md Diff-ly in such approved securities.” One million pounds is not quite equal to dve million dollars, and the guaranteed st0°i¢ 0! .U18

Company is not a Government security. Hence the doubt expressed as to whether legislation by the Parliament cf Canada may not be required to confirm, the ac- wpfanee by the Government oi the

securities offered.
