sary, strong terms and strong language in' rep'ying to an ex-governor, who 20 far for- gets the position he has held of a gentleman as. to call the ex-member and his three } Conservatiye colleagues—the latter of | whom, at least, are known to be as honor-

able men as the Province can produce— | **traitors,” and t6 string together epithets | against them of the vilest kind. Had the| editor been ‘‘a penny- i-line scribbler.” J should not have troubled myself to notice | his effusions, however vulgar and low they | might have been :

Another purposely misquoted sentence is the following: ‘‘Mr. DeBlois admits that | sho totally adverse elements of the Coali- | tion Government were brought together to | secure reforms on the School Question.” Now, to one unacquainted with the subject this might seem a very insiznificant mis- quotation. g@g@My words were there: ‘I posi- tively deny 8hat the so-called Davies Coali- | tion Government came into being ‘to tute certain needed The only | known, etc., the School | Question, which prought totally adverse | elements -together, was fully accomplished, | ete., etc. The worthy editor knows full | well that the School Question was not one | of reforms in its system that brought to- | gether the adverse elements spoken of. I, | and my Conservative friends, both in the | Government and Legislature, as also in the | Province, would never have broken the! friendships of years to make mere reforms in that system. PRINCIPLE upon both sides, and was simply | this: Was the Province entitled to her| free system of education, or was she not t| The friends of years took opposite sides, | and fought the battle ont hke men; and, | when it was settled legally that the free} school system, non-sectarian, was the only | one acknowledged by the Island Govern- | ment when the Island became a part of the | Dominion, the two parties shook hands and | determined to do their best to make it as| perfect as possible. |

The intermediate observations of the crafty editor I leave for the present, and shall continue to follow him up in his strictures upon my letter.

Now comes the following: “‘Mr. DeBlois gives proof of his inconsistency when he writes respecting the Assessment Act.” ‘‘For myself, I doubted the policy of ce- | moving the Act from the statute books for | reasons which space will not permit of my stating.

The magnanimous ex-Governor on this quotation remarks: ‘‘We will afford the ex-Member for the city space in the Patriot to state his reasons. They, we feel sure, would be highly entertaining reading.’ The ex-member begs to say that he has seen enough ef fulsome praise and after- wards of vile and loathsome abuse of him- self in the Petriot columns to shun them as he would poison, and would as soon think of raising the vilest journal printed togive his reasons to the public on any subject as the Patriot newspaper of Prince Edward Island. The ex-Governor, there- fore, will have to bide his time if he wishes to have my reasons,

He goes on to say: ‘The sneers in which Mr. DeBlois indulges respecting the Great Northwest, and an Indian Goddess,” etc., ete. Now I should really like to know where the sneers are to be found against the Great Northwest. Here are the true words | as they appear in the letter of the said Mr. DeBlois:—‘*Where was ‘‘Nemises’’ when the people, ete., etc., committed this great outrage?’—the outrage, as you know, Mr. Editor, meant that of re-electing the four so-called traitors. ‘‘Perhaps she had flown to the Great Northwest and become an Indian Goddess,” etc., etc. Is there any sneers here against the Great North- Most certainly not. I say without fear of contradiction that there is not a man in the Dominion of Canada who believes more thoroughly in the coming greatness of that splendid country than myself, or has given more praise to Sir John A. Mac- donald and his colleagues, or a former Government, for acquiring that noble Territory at so very small a money sacrifice to our Great Dominion, If sneers can be | found in the words just quoted, they most | ceciainly were not intended for the Great | Northwest. The ex-Governor proceeds to | observe that he is proud cf his name ‘‘being | identified with the history of the North-| west, and of his administration of Indian | affairs.” Well, this must have come over | him since he became the recipient, foc! several years, of a salary of about $7000 per | annum, for before that he and his Grit | frienda were continually abusing Sir John | and his Government for purchasing *‘a vast | wilderness,” whose capabilities for farming purposes were far inferior to the adjoining | Western States. Of the next sentence, he) of course should be the best judge.

With your permission, Sir, I shall now | return to where I left the Patriot editorial unanswered. The paragraphs commence thus: ‘The amendments to the School Act called for a larger outlay of public money, and the Assessment was thought a neces-

wisti- f reforms.’
