THE DELEGATES’ MEMORIAL.

Tue efforts of Premier Warburtoa and his associates to obtain recognition of the claim, of this province against the Domin- jon, and a settlement thereof, are commend- able,

part equitable is undoubted.

That these claims are for the most They are concurred in by men of all parties resident here. Indeed the most of them, bave been

repeatedly urged by Senator Ferguson and other puplic men belonging to the party. The

Libeaals have been converted,—

Conservative fact that our leading that they now espouse claims which a few years ago they disparaged and ridiculed in the House of Assembly the country, and that they have been con-

and throughout strained toadopt the very arguments used by their predesessore, makes the case for the Island’s claims all the stronger. These claims, first proposed by the Conservatives must be good when so many goodLiberals have, after full investigation and considers com pletely changed ground concerning them. We that the change did not occur sooner; if the Conservative leaders had been aided, instead of being

ation, recret for bampered and hindered when preferring these claims, they might have been made more successful than they were aud the Province would now -be 80 the better off. However this may be, it ie gratifying and reassuriog

much

to know that the parties in this Province are united in pressing for a settlemeut of our just claims against tbe Government of

Canada. It is to be understood, of course, that the

Conservatives will rot concur in any settle- ment calculated to prejudice, in any way’ the coustruction of brauch railways and other public works needed forthe devel- opment of the country, and promised by the latter as well asthe former guvernmen: of the Dominion.

THE CITY LIQUOR BILL.

Tuts bill, if passed is to go into operation on the first June next. After that date liquor is notto be sold in Charlottetown except in @room ov the ground floor hav- ing but une door and a window affurding a fuli view of the interior. No liquor is to be exposed in the window aud no person sell. ing liquoris to keep a grocery or other store on the premises, Every person selling liquor is to register his name and premises inthe office of the Provincial Secretary, and pay to the Provincial Secretary a registration fee of $200 at the beginning of each year. There are many restrictive provisions in the bill, violation of which is punishable by the imposition of tines up to $100 and the forfeiture of the registration certificate.

Phe bill seems to well as a temperance measure. Buta fatal objec~ tion to it lies in the proposed interference of the Provincial Government with civic affairs and the imposition by the Provin cial Government of a civic

tax. The money Ought certainly to go irto the city treasury. representatives

We call upon the city’s the Legislature to raise their voices on behalf of the city taxpayers. It will be easy to amend the bill in this regard by merely substituting the words “City Clerk” for those of the “Provincial Secretary.”

MINISTER OF AGRICULTURE.

Amoxe the many farmers and others in this province who have taken the gauge of our Minister of Agriculture is Mr. Fred G. Bovyer of Georgetown, whose letter we publish in another column. Our Minister is certainly an adept in doing those things that he ought not to do and leaving undone those things that he ough: to do. The dairy interest in this Province is likely to suffcr and our farmers to be put to expense, on account of the Minister’s neglect, while little good is likely to be done by searching for microbes among hearty, healthy cattle, Our Minister

AN IMPORTANT MATTER.

Arrention is directed to the letter of €* Traveller,” published in Tae Examiner today. We hope that the Provincial Government will take prompt action. The neglect pointed out will te criminal if not corrected. If the safety of the public requires the inspection of steamboats owned by private persons it also requires the inspection of steamboats owned by the Goverament. It is passing strange that |

any body of mea, let slove a body selected from the representatives of the peopie, would subject the people to the haezard descr bed by our &. rrespoudent.

Maprip, April 27.—El Epoca (conser~ vative) yesterday morning contains a powerful article on privateering, in which

it says that America in 1856 retained the | rightof privateering becanse her enemy } was possibly a ghtv Koy] and, wealth of mercantile marine oflered good | plunder,” butshe earns the praises of the English press by renouncing that right’ to-day, “when Ler enemy is poor Spain.’~ | E!

The article strong backs the government | in its maintenance of its right of priva- | teering. Rich Prizesin Prospect.

A Madrid despatch reports: There isa great deal of talk about keeping a sharp lookout for yachts belonging to American inillionaries, which, as the Imparcial in- genuously says, would be worth capturing as those in the Mediterranean alone at the present time represents the value of many millions. Specially singled out are the Valiant, Margarita, Sultaua; Nahma, and Aacturus. Swift vessels belonging to the Spanish navy are to crnise about the straits of Gibraltar, the Suez Canal, and the Enge lish chanwel so as to make prizes of any of these yachtsthat may attempt to pass through.

If vemen had the power to change, make over or remedy their real or imaginary defects the first thing they’d go about improving would be their figures, of course, But since they ate not provided with the means of remedying nature’s shortcomings, they must apply those furnished by the “short waisted corset,’ which is the only avaii ble means of obtaining figures of queenly grace and symmet- aical beauty.
