THE LOCAL CRISIS

Tueke are many rumors in circulation

regarding the complexion of the Gov-

ernment to be formed consequent on the | resignation and retirement of the Hon. Mr.

Peters. It seems to be generally

couceded that the principal reason for Sir L. H. Davies’ delay 10 Prince Edward Island is that he may

take a part in the formation of the Executive Council and in the distribution of the three salaried departments of the Local Cabinet. He appears to be under the impression that his that West Queen’s should be well repre- sented, and with this object in view desires that the second district of Queen’s shall be represented by the premier aud the first district of Queen’« by 4 ttorney General. Failing in securrg barson as Premier it ‘8 believed he will endeavor to get Mr. Sinclair to resign hie seat of Hon. D. Laird, Laird as Premier. This last move would have the double effect of securing the Premiership for West Qieen’s and at the same time relieving Sir Louis of a probable candidate for the Governor- ship or other important Domumion office. Mr. Hector C. McDonald’s friends. appear determined to stand by him and insiet on his claims to the Attorne

Generalship being recogaised. It must be admitted that if the right of seniority, as wellas long and faithful service to the Liberal party, counts for anything there should be Jittle or no difficulty in deciding between Mr. McDonald and Mr. Warbur- ton. Bat Sir Louis Davies may sand firm and persuade the party that Mr. Warburton is to the “ manor born,” aad should have not only the Dominion Law Agency but be appointed Attorney Genera} also. The fiat has also been issued by the “inner circle” that Hono. J. R. McLean shall be removed from the Pablic Works Department, and this morning’s Guardian has prepared both Mr. McLean and the public for the contemplated change. However, as al! these matters are between the Liberals themeelves Tue EXAMINER has ao desire to interfere beyond keeping its realers posted in the doings of the

party.

Tue Brantford Expositor, a good Grit newspaper, has a tew words to say to Hon. Mr. Tarte. The Expositor thinks that the Commissioner of Public Works is ‘a little two talkative, and that when borrowing money he is vot careful as to the source of supply. It thinks, Lowever, that neither Mr. Tarte’s volubility or his impecuniosity has yet seriously damaged him, but it sounds a note of warning all the same. Here is what it says:

“Mr. Tarte has been indiscreet in two ways. He has said too much since enter- ing the Cabinet, and he bas borrowed money from people who have had business relations with the government. It would be a good thing for both himself and his

cial reticence, and if he needs @ temporary joan hereafter he should go to someone who is not government contractor.

has as yet seriously damaged him, but such indiscretions cannot be repeated with impunity. The sympathy arti amusement they have aroused would soon give place to irritation, deepening into indigration.” ii, The Expositor does not seem to attach munch importance to the fact that Mr, Tarte has borrowed from a government contractor. YNoting this fact the Ottawa Citizen says:

“The Expositor thinks it nothing that the Minister of Public Works has bor- rowed money from & government con- tractor. How, then, is the public interest to be seoure? Take the case of Mr. James Cochrane, who lent Mr. Tarte $1,000 three months ago, and whose firm about that time got a contract for laying ao asphalt pavement around the Parlia-

ment Building. Willthe Expositor tell us that under euch circumstances the

Mioister will dea: with the contractor at eng ied pean, (™?™ 45 ce . x

cheeky io Sir Wilfrid Laurier, in his Toronto banqu. t speech, to boast that his government had put an alien labor law ou the +tatute book. Itis quite true that the law is there, but there’s aefrivg to it which makes it inoperative. lostead of boasting, Sir Wilfrid ought to be ashawed of the action and inaction of his govrroment so far ax the alien Jabor law is concerned.

—St. John Sun: The story that Premier Peters of Prince Edward Island is likely to abandon bis position and seek his for- tune on the Pacific coast is not an unrea- sonable one. Mr. Peters ie said to be an able lawyer. So far he has been a successful politician withia the narrow limits of his own province, but his political path 1s now beset with difficulties, and at the best the rewards in sight are not so great as he may expect to obtain iv British Columbia. Ibe experiences of the past year bave, no doubt, been in many ways the most agree- able that Mr. Peters has met, and the tendency may well have been to make him dissatisfied with his presept surroundings. If Sir Louis Davies were out of the way the prospects for Mr. Peters at home would be more enduring. But Sir Louis is not out of the way.

—The Revelstoke Herald points out that the chief feature in Roseland justnow isthe strong antagonism fpringing up between the American and Canadian elements of the population. This feeling extends to Trail,and is even beginning to show itaely in Neleon. he Americans claim that they discovered the conntry ard they think they ought to run it. The feeling is noticeable in all lives of busive-s. The Americans refuse to buy goods of Canadian manufacture of any kind and even extend their disapproval! to Canadian beer. So strongly is the preference sbown that one Canadian merchant asked his manufac- turers to take their trade mark «ff the goods supplied to him in order to sell to Americans as he has tome difficulty in persuading his Canadian customers who are equally eet the other way, that his Cone are really manufactured in Canada.

his ill-feeling is extending even to the clubs.

Propare for War—A Big Grant for the British Army.

Loxpox, October 15.—The Daily Chronicle this morning #ays it understands that the budget for 1898 will propose an | extra grant of £1,500,000, to provide | 11,000 additional men for the army and “some amelioration of the soldier’s lot, with a view of attracting reeruits.’’

The Westminster Gaz-tie snvs that the money forthe proposed incrense will be untry is getting the value of its presen: expendi- | tures,

The Evening News takes a similar view of the subject.

The St. James Gazette, however, ia ip favor of the proposal, There is likely to be a fine surplusin the budget, the paper eays. Nothing would be more popular than to make the question of army reform the chiet business of parliament for the next ses‘ ion,

The Globe declares that the wh. ole military machinery is out of gear, because the force at home is 22,000 less than the force abroad. “Were anu emergency to snddeuly arise,” it eaye, “Great Britain would be almostas ill-prepared to meet it as she was when the Crimean war began.” A speech delivered at Guildford yesterday by W. S. I. Broderick, under-secretary of state for war, foreshadowing some of the government’s policy in parliament,in which he stated that the government would ask in 1898 for an increase of the army by 30
