Tue Examiner, thereupon, produced a re'urn, over the signature of the Deputy Provincial Treasurér, that statement was substantially correct.

We shall not indulge in the strong the Patriot's conduct It is only necessary—pert-

de- nuociation which would jusrify haps no" necessary —to point out that the cause must be weak, indeed, which necessi tai as resort to the tactics of the fish-wife.

Tue Examiner has thie strong leg t stand upon, that its statement was true. The Patriot has been driven to the contend thet which or even concealed by Tae Examiner, viz, that the half-yearly subsidy from Ottawa had previous!y been paid.

We start now from the admitted fact that at the very time Mr. Peters’ was asking for

the be met,

after it was authoriz he would have had lying idle in the Banks about one hundred and twenty thousand dollars the Provincial debentures for which would .be bearing interest. Mr. Peters saw thet auch a condition ef the fineneces would be denounced, that it would be seeli by everyone that he had borrowed money which he did not want, and that his management would be condemned. So he allowed months t> elapse before he attempted to sell hit débemtuces. At the end of 1891 hehad sold ouly $6,500 worth, thus showing by his Own conduct that he had no immediate need for $185,090. “fhe financial management of Mr. Peters may be compared to that of s farmer who owing $300 mortgaged his farm for « $1000— while he had bertes in his stable ** eating their heads off” and was paying two servants for work that could by better done by one. Inthe farmer such conduct would be condemngd ag foolish ani ruinous; but in the Hon. Frederick»Peters, Premier of Prince Edward Island, acting on behalf of the taxpayers of the Provinee, ‘‘its all right ’—according to the Patejot ! Now, Mr. Peters had, adaiitted'y, full control of the Jegislature. Both branches bowed to him. Any course that he desir- ed to take would have been adopted. Sup- pose that instead of ssddling on the Pro- vice a Debentare Dobt and the yearly in- terest accrding a mere makeshift at best —he had.called his obedient followers to- getter and laid before them a statesman: like plan to meet and overcome the finan- cial difficulty into which the Province was drifting Suppose that he had cop, cluded that. the representations of his predecessors were vain, that the debts due the Province by the Dominion Government could not be collect- ed, and that there was nothing for it but to make up the amount of the deficits and sufficient revenue to meet the expenditures : he copld have said, ** I pro- pose that the expenses of Jegislation shall he cut down a half; we will all agree to take half-pay for this year and to go at once to the country with a fair and honest yeasure reducing the Legislature a half ; by this means we shallcu’ Jown the expendi- tures about $7,000 a your; having in this way, and by other expedionts, reduced the expenditures, there will remain about $40,000 a year to add tothe revenue in order that it may meet all the payments ; | propose that this amount be raised by a tax

But provide that the receiver of a bribe shall be punished as well as the giver, let it be known that a man cannot take a five dollar bill or a bar- rel of flour in return for his vote without running the risk of fine and imprisonment, and bribery at elections will cease to be a public evil.

Thousands in Misery

THE STRIKING COTTON SPINNERS OLDHAM,

Great suffering exists in Oldham, Eng, owing to the prolonged struggle between the master cotton spinners and the opera- tives.

The number out of employment in Old- ham alone is 34,000 Thousands of these are destitute of fuod or fue!, only those who belong to the operatives’ union receiv- ed-union aid.

The prelonged cold weather has caused bitter hardship to multitudes out of work on account of the strike, and the frost and snow linger with a persistence that points

to fatal suffering unless relief speedily comes. The local authorities are overburdened

with demasds up»n them, and private charity has been exhausted by the contin- ual and increasing drain since last Novem- ber.

Oldham has not seen such misery since the time of the Americin “ar, when the scarcity of cotton caused thousands of Lan- cashire oporatives to be thrown out of em- ployment.

It ia considered in Washington that the Hawaiian question has been practically laid on the sheit for this session.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

Shipping Restriction Discussed THE WHITHEY COAL DEAL

Orrawa, March 3.

When the House of Commons cpened yesterday Mr. Weldon moved to replace on the orders for Monday his bill to punish electors accepting bribes.

Mr. Davies objected, unless Dr. Weldon would consent to enlarge the Measure 80 as to punish the briber as well as the receiver of the bribe.

De. Weldon pointed out that hia bill sovered new ground, and in no way inter- ered with the existing legislation, which was severe enough in its treatment of men who sought to corrupt constituencies. He pledged himself, however, to support any measure Mr. Davies might introduce to perfect the law that now Lreats bribe-givers a8 Criminais

After Mr. Jeanette had vociferously op- posed the motion, it was agreed to wita- yut division,

De. Weldon says that he has a majority if the House at his back and will push his measure through thia session.

When Hon. Mr. Costigan introduced his bill to amend the act respecting certificates to matter and males.

Mr. Baird tock the floor and asked for the careful consideration of the House with respect to the subject matter of the meas- ure. He argued that the provisions of the bill were not broad enough. Restrictions upon the shipping business tended to dis- courage it. The once great marine inter- est in wooden shipping had greatly de- clined. St. John, at its best, had its 280,- 000 tons of shipping, but he had to ac- knowledge a lusa of nearly one half. Mr. Baird said that while Canadian tonnage was decreasing, the same class of vessels were increasing on the United States coast, and he argued that one reason of

his was the severe technical examination required ot masters and mates in Canada, betore giving them certiticates. In the United States the regulations were not so strict, and the result was that Canadian seamen shipped on American vessels, Ho wanted compulsory pilotage abolished, and complained that the regulations permit vessels sailing for Suuth America to carry aeavier deckloads than vessels clearing for Europe. The adoption of the load line in Canada would damage large ships and exterminate the smaller class of ton- nage. He argued that the Government should appoint a commission to enquire into the causes of the decline of our ship- ping, and not look on calmly at the de- struction of an important industry. Some- ‘hing should be done for the saipping busi- ness at once.

Mr. Davies said that he was pleased to have his statement in respect to the effects of the National Policy endorsed by supporters of the Government.

Mr. Hezen supported the statements of Mr. Baird with respect to the question of certificates, but was non-committal on the question of compulsory p:lotage,

Mr. Kenny agreed with Mr. Baird, but lid not chink the present tariff was to blame for the dec!ine in shipping.

Mr. Gilmour argued that all the Canadian vessels should be placed in a position that they should compete to advantage with the vessels of other nations.

The bill was read a first time.

After recess, on the motion te ge into supply, Dr. Weldon, M. P., brought the recent Nova Scotia Coal Mining Legislation to the notice of the House. He made a lengthy speech fully exposing the Whitney's Cvoal Deal and making an earnest appeal for protection of the rights of the people.

Mr. Kenny, of Halifax, Sir Donald Smith and D. C. Fraser, defended the deal

Sir John Thompson said that the matter was within the legitimate authority of the Nova Scotia legislature and that the other Provinces had no right to interfere.

The debate closed at midnight.

Gladstone and Morley Burned in Effigy.

Berast, March 3.

More than five thousand people attended the great Orange meeting held here veaterday. Ur. Kane who presided, said that Ulster was prepared to defend herself to the last agains: the proposals of the Home Rule bill. He had received jetters from the military and police officers in England and Ireiand, and telegrams from Canada and Australia, promisiug co- operation to the men of Ulster if the latter re- sorted to arms to defend their liberties against the tyranny of their historic foes. One hundred thousand Orangemen are ready to resist to the death the Home Rale Bill.

Wiilism Johnson, M. P., for Sou h Belfast, concluded a violent speech by swearing on the Bible that he wou!d never submit to the laws of the Dublin Parliament. Dr. Kane tore to pieces a copy of the Home Rule bill. Effigies of Gladstone and Morley were berned in High Street in the presence of cheering crowds of thousands,

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. |

Letter from Mr. Vinnicombe.

S1rz,—An article appeared ia yesterday's issue referring t® my orchestra, which I cannot allow to pass without correction. You assume that a division of the members is about to take place, which is certainly news to me. I have not the remotest idea ot any such intention. In all the years ] have devoted to archestration I have never found the members more in harmony with each other, a spirit of good will one towards the other appearing to pervade all, ener- getic io their studips, doing their utmost to make the Orchedv7a « success, which in some respects was never in better form. The music is eertainly of « higher class, which fact the public may judge at the coming Concert for the Y. M.C. A. Re-

garding the financial support cf the Orchestra, it bes been anything but encouraging. It involves considerable

work and money,which is devoted solely by myself and is Purely a labour of love. The small earnings do not defray the ex- penses. Netwithstanding all the disad- vantages, it affords me much pleasure in bringing together my musical friends to study the beauties of orchestration and pass 4 pleasant evening. Gracious knows, it is hard enoeghto keep any organization together, withuut such reports going around, Some time agol heard that the orchestra was broken up. I am under the impression that there must besome creature doing his utmost to make things lively. If so he will find it a little harder than he imagines. ‘The orchestra will go on as long as I remain in Charlottetown. H, Vinnicomee.

St. James’ Charch Organ Recital.

S1x,—I was unfortunate enough to be out of town ou the night of the grand organ recital in St. James’ Church, sand missed, so I learn, a rare musical treat. Cannot some arrangement be made with Prof. Earle and the committee, so that the performance could be repeated. I am quite sure, and | speak for many, that they would be greeted with an overflowing house.
