**What happered in Prince Edward Is !iand ? What has become of the hon. | Minister of Marine and Fisheries (Sir | Louis Davies) ? I see ha has disappeared, and lam not surprised because he knew what wascoming. The elections fer two members, one of them Attorney-General, resultiog from the re-construction of the lecal Government took place the other day in Priace _Edward Island. The hoh. Minister of Marine and Fisheries went down there, and didan act a jittle more daring than | think was ever done by any public man in this country en either side of politics. He went into these twe local elections, and told the people that the life of this Dominion Government was at stake upen these electieus. If these two men are beaten, the Liberal Governmentare beaten, and they have ne majority in the House to carry on the Government of Prince Edward Island. And what do you think the hon. gentleman did then, Mr. Speaker? Why, so far for- got himeelf, fergot his position, forgot the respect due to the independent elegtera of this country, as te tell the electers that if they did not retura Liberals, te keep in powerthe local Liberal government in Prince Edward Island, he could not answer for the money that this Houss had voted for public werks in the island beiog act uallyexpended. If you want evidence of the positon this government are in you could not have strongerevidence than that. What enewer did he get? Hegot the answer that any man will get from free and independent electors when he attempts to use a bludgeon of thai kind to drive them tothe polle. His candidates were defeated ; and he knows right well that if anelecton took place inthe proviece of Priace Edward Island to-morrow, if he managed to gave his own seat, he wouid come back alone, witbout asingle man from that province to support him.”
Every person in Prinee Edward Island knows that no fairer statement could be made regarding the part played by Sir Louis Davies inthe recent bye-elections in Bel- fast and Murray Harbor than that cop- tained in the above extract from Sir Charles Tupper’s speech. But this is the way Sir Louis Davies replied :

| to carry one of them this time and he con- | | sequently formulated an attack upon me | i
What did the leader of the Opposition say ? He said that [ had gone into ’rince Edward Island and told the elector thatif they did not vote for e govern = } i = ; nent I could not answer for the expend | ire of public money. He said that ] | should b ached tor that. WI gentieman (Sir aries Tupper) ior KNOW what he &iking about, | i bik O much tha he reaily doee not kuow what he is saying I made no such | hreat ashe ltmplies. I told the people ef | ward Island, with refer nce to | uction of a bridge across the | orough River, that if was} : vork which waa belong cou
structiy partly by the Dominion Govern- ment and partly by the local Government under @ provincial statute authorizing the provincial legislatureto contribute $490,000 or more, and under a Dominion statute authorizing this Government te contribute so much. There had to be an agreement between this Parliament and the Legislature of Prince Edward Island on that, The Conservative party in
Prinee Edward Island brd put themselves en record in the legislature, thatthe con-
struction of that bridge was premature,
and Isimply read that resolution to the electorate and [ said: If you vote im favor of the eandidate who supports the party that formulated this reselution,you are postponing the conetrue- tion of this bridge, perhaps indefinitely. Was net that a proper argument to make? Could any one find objegiion to that? Bir, my prediction may unfortunately prove true ; I hepe te heaven it shall not. ‘he hen. gentlemen opposite did eleet their man, andif the Conservative party for ence in their lives prove true to the prin- + ciples they enuncia‘ed, they will oppose - the construction of that bridge, and if they‘ get a majority the bridge will not be built, ani where will the people be then? I simply poiated out these facts to the elec. tors,and for doing that the leader of the opposition attempts to administer a leeture tome. He had better reserve his lec- tures for those who sit around him. He had better keep his adviee for those who ask bim. I did not ask for his advice. He talks about Prince Edward Island, aud heis good enough to say that, per- haps, there is a possibility of my being returned, but that no one elee sup pertiog the Liberal party will be returned trem that province, Well, sir, thatis a very old and stale story [beard in 1882 that I had not a possibility of being elected. Every Tory newspaper in the Dominion proclaimed: There is no_ possibility of Davies beieg elected. Well, sir, I was elected to this House then. [n 1887 they said that I wns ont of the race, that it was afarce to ran me; but I came back here with a thousand mejority. In 1891 they said: Davies caanot be elected, but that prediction was likethe prediction of there hou. gentlemen epposite today, supremely silly. Agaiu, in 1896 «they said: I could not be returned to this House. They had carved my conetituency up ; they gerrymandered me in 1891; they thougbttuey had made my deteat sure, but they were nowhere when the people were sppesied to. I came back here with a majority of 375.”
The whepper contained in the closing sentence of the extract which we have given from Sir Lou.’ speech is worthy of its author, A few moments befere, Mr’ Bell, M. P. explained that West Queen’s had been made a Grit hive by the Redis- tribution of 1891 !
Very few men indeed could possibly cram 60 many mistatements into the same number of sentences. Here is the Patriot’s report of Sir Louis’ speech at Pownal, which fully sustains the words of Sir Charles Tupper.
“Should _ the people of these
dietricts vote , for the opponents of the Government they will intimate to Parliament that they do not want theas works.* * * Sir Lonisa intimated thas when hecame to askfor further appro- piations that his hands would be tied aud his advocacy weakened Par- liament ‘and representatives from these Provinces who are not teo keen to expend so large a sum ono emall s province as Prince Edward Island will say the people do not wan: these works, “Why,” said Sir Louis “I thought when the railway and Bridge were granted by Parliament that the Government would receive the unanimous support of the people, not only of these districts that are*partieularly interested but of the whole Island, But instead of that what do I find in the Belfast and Murray Harbor Dis- tricts? A divided camp,and candidates running in Opposition to the Government which have passed measures to give you both railway and bridge, ”

The Boer sympathisers in this vicinit y are (to use asiang phrase) completely “down in the lip” oyer the recent brilliant British success in South Africa, It is peculiarly strange that peeple living uader the British flag and enjoying all ef our many privileges, can deny the justice of the British cauee in South Africa.
