IMPROVED SITUATION.

oy

Ganerat Botrer has crossed the Tu- gela in terce. The position ia Natal 10 greatly improved. This good news will relieve the atrain of anxiety under which the British public has labored. The ad- vance of General Buller towards Lady emith ie, we hope and believe, the begin= ning of the end. The British are not yet out of the wood. Much remains to be accowplished and an cccasienal repulse may yet be eustained if the foe should preve to be stubborn.

General Buller wili, we presume, pro- ceed to take possession of the road be» tween Acton Homes and Dewdrop, which is the shortest route te Ladysmith. This road is ocenpied by the Boers, who will, without doubt, hold it as long as they can occupy their entrenchments and the cover of the hills. But in view of the leseons in Boer strategy which the Britieh bave received, their generals are not like- ly again to be deceived or led into ambus- cades. Their p.ogress will be eure, if slow.

Apart from the Tugela, the eituation remains practically unchanged, though it is evident that the British are strengthen- ing their hold and commanding the vari- ous positions. We regret to note that "+ brave little Mafeking” is nearing the erd of its resourses, but we hope tbat relief will arrive in time.

HOW THE WIND BLOWS.

Premier Farqubareon and the Patriot are active. A few days ago we were

gravely informed by the Patriot that,—

“Premier Farquharson is entitled to credit for havimg secured the privilege of purchasing fifteen heraee in this province for the second Canadian contingent tor South Africa.”

Anon, The Patriot informed the public that,—

“ Premier Farquharson has received werd from the Department, Ottewa, that a special one-rate fare wil] be given for all who wish to go to Halifax to see the second contingent oft.”

Again we are treated toa long Patriotic articlein which the abounding prosperity of the people, and the fact that the Libs erals are in office, is heralded to the elec tors.

All these straws point towards an elec- tion in the near future.

Of couree Premier Farquharson has had as much influence over the purchase of horses for the army and the ‘‘one-rate_ fare” as the man in the These little favours would, everyone knows, have been granted in any case. As for the prosperity that has followed the continuance of the National Poliey the Conservatives not the Liberals deeerve allcredit. The Liberals are only to be credited with breaking their pre-election promis?s in the interests of the country.

NOTES AND COMMENTS

—A good subscription was that of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company to the National Patrietic Fund—$15,060.00. It appears that the railway is earning something more than “ grease for the wheels.”

—A leadiug wholesale dry goode firm in Toronto recently ran short of a line of oods that had advaneed in price in the

ritish market, The tirm communicated with the important manufacturing con- cern in England by whom the first order wae filled and asked them to repeat the order atthe previeus figure. The anewer “yes” was cabled at once, and this wae followed by a letter. just received by the firm in Terento, in the couree of which it is said :—

“We cannot refuse Canadians any- thiog justnow in view of the splendid patriotiem they are showing and the eacra- fice they are making for the Empire. Admiratien aad gratitude are universa! here.”

(Summerside Journal. )

We understand that our esteemed friend Lieut. Governor MacIntyre has developed very strong pro-Boer sentiments lately, and that, strange as it may appear, he has become a pronounced advocate and de» fender of the Boer cause, and never allows an opportunity to pass without showing his predilection in this matier. Such anti- British sentiments, coming from a Gov- ernor of a prevince, and an official repre- sentative of Her Majesty, in whose behalf thousands brave

of mep are new doing battle against the Boers, are, to eay the least, im very

bad taste, and a matter of great surprise to the loyal people of Prince Edward Island. To whom, it may wel] be asked, are we to look for a model and example cf loyalty"if rot to the Queen’s representa- tive, whose loyalty to Her Majesty should be above reproach or suspicion. The

| opinions entertained by Lieutenant Gov-

ernor McIntyre are, we are glad to say, to be found in very rare cases only in this Dominion and this Province, and we take the liberty of expressing the hope that he will, for bis ewo sake at least, refrain from giving further expression to such under existing circum stances, nothing eould make him more uppopular, and a mae in his high position sneuld always comman4 the re- spect, love and popularity of the people. Te ve a disloyal subject at a time like t ais, when loyalty ie running so high as it do s al present, when our friecds the boyso! Prinee Edward Island are at the front in defence of Queen und Empire, and when every Britis subject is expected to stand by the old flag, is te be one apart {rom the people, one who loses respect, one who is looked upon with regret and with mingled reproach eorrow by the thousands of loyal people whs are ready to follow in the foot- steps of those who now represent them on the blued stained yeldts of South Africa.
