THE PREMIER IN A NEW ROLE.

We are informed, from sources entitled \o all credence, and we are personally aware, that there exists much speculation aod surmise, and that much comment is b ing made regarcing a fence lately erect~ ed bv Premier Farquharson to guard a lot ot land owned by him in the vicinity of Black Sam’s bridge.

Now, the fact of the Premier putting up @ fence to secure a portion of his land- ed property from trespass is nota matter o which should be attached much portance. Nor, if this werea matter of )riipary account, would it call for partics u'ar netics,

imai-

But weare told, and insgection bas corroborated the that the waterial.that has beeu used io the fencing- in Of this lot of land is nothing lees than veoerable timbers and boarde procur- ed from the framewor.: of the old Pricce of Wales College building, lately pulled down to make way for the present seat of learning !

Think of this, all ve who revere the memory of your old Alma Mater! Why, many people who never even trod the

information,

classic halls of the old college venerate the traditions connected therewith, and are pained to learn of the ignoble use now being made of these interesting relics. The question is asked: what right hee the Premier to take these boards—on which are inscribed the names of many who studied in the old building—and put th:m to their present undignified use ?

We prefer to leave ths an open quee~ tion ant to bring forward a tneory that may accouat for the Premier’s action.

It may not be known, except to our old er readers, that many years ago the lot of land now in question was occupied by *“ Black Sam,” who,—like Diogenes of old —lived in a tub, or a hogshead, and was quite a celebrated character. It may be that the Premier considers this humble imitator of the great Cynic philoropher is entitled to have his temory perpetuated in some appropriate and classical form aod has thought it fitting that “Black S.m’s*’ former abode sheuld be eurround- ed with the boards of the old college, to waich, it may be presumed, a flavor of tue ancient and modern classics, of al! languages, was imparted in the days gone by.

THE PROMISE BREAKERS

THe Morcton Times has a lengthy re. port of ibe address delivered before the Tupper Olub on Friday evening by Hon. Senator Fergueon. The address is highly spoken of and was followed with the closest attention thronghout. In the course of his remarks Senator Ferguson took upthe ante-election pledges of the Laurier-Tarie government and eaid he was not a'leto recal] one single promise made by the Liberals before taking office that \they had cartied out. The pro- mises were made by the yarty assembled ia solemn conclave in Ottawain 1893, yet, a‘ter obtaining office, not one single pledge had been fulfilled. Protection was one of the things they attacked and denounced, but the tariff under the Liberals showed that there was only the reduction of a

was increased. The Liberals in opposic tion pledged themselves to save five mil- lione of dollars in the expenditure. In- stead of doing that the last year for waieh we had figures showed an increase of ten millions in the expenditure over the amouat spent by the Conservative admio- istration, And Mr. Tarte says“ wait till you see us next year.” Another pledge of the Liberals was that they would get reciprocity with the United States, But little or no ¢ftort has been made by the Government in thiedirection, the premier saying that the people of Canadadid not want reciprocity withthe United States. Asinother matters so had the Liberals

violated their pledges with reference to tueir trade platform. The course adopted by Sir Wilfrid

Laurier and his party in regard to the pre- ferential trade quection was also taken up by Senator Ferguson. SirWilfrid,the Sena- tor pointed out, in Canada advocated « preference for products in Great Britain, but when he landed in Liverpool

he told the British people that Canada wanted no preference in the Britieh The original aim of the Liber -

ter, had to recede from her origina; position. The bungling way in which the government handled the

whole preferential trade question was elu cidated at some length. The result of this preference tariff, tae Senator ehwed, has been to increase our imports from Great Britain only 12} cents, while our imports from Belgium increased 150 per cent., United States 59 per cent. and Germany 24 percent. An increase in our imports of only 124 per cent. from Great Britain showed that this great preference was only a sham and had not had the effect it sbould have had. Senator Ferguson, while not disposed to oppose giving British products a prefersnce in Our markets, was favorable to a reciprocal preferential tariff. He concluded his able address by predicte ing @ brilliant victory at the forthe-n ing electioa for the Liberale ‘Qreerve’: e pirty led by Sir Charles Tupper,

A CATASTROPHE AVERTED

By Mrs. Geo. H. Webb's Presence of Mind.

“Miss Ada McCluskey, of Franklin Avenue, accompanied by the two children cf C.J. McCluekey, of Jersey City,started with the Episcopal Sundsy School on Wednesday morning,for a day’s picnicing, Miss McCluskey noticed an odor of burn- ing wood as she entered the trolley car or ihe journey to .he picaic grounds, but thought ncthing of it. When the car was just outside the borough linea flame of fire burst up through the floor and her dress was ignited. Mre. Webb, of Kipp Avenue, was silting next Mies Mc- Cluskey and with great presence of mind aod courage seized the burning drees and smothered the flame, burning ber bands covsiderably in the opera ion. The drese was of light materia! and was completely ruined. ‘There was great excitement for afew minutes and all in he car were frightened, Fortunateiy the car had stop- ped just previous to the accident. Had it been in motion the draught would have fan: ed the flams‘and a drea ful caiastroph, would have occured for there were many women and children in the carand the clothing of all wasof light inflammable material which, would instantly have burned. Too much praise cannot be given, Mrs. Webb for her prompt action.

“Mies McCluskey and the two children returced to the Heighte in the first car, being too nervous and frightened to con- tioued with the pleasure party. All are congratulating her that she and her charg- es fortunately ,eecared injury. The fire was occasioned by ansover-heated b>x; an unavoidable accident which is not of un- frequent cccurience.” Hasbrouck Heighte,N. J. Press.

[The Mrs Geo. H, Webb, to whom ret- erence is made above, resided for some yeare in Charlottetown, and is kindly re- membered by many citiz2ns.] ;
