The plain Loglish ofthis is that no French-Canadian in Prisce County, or indeed in Prince Edward Island is deemed by Sir Louis Davies to be a fit successor of the Jate Mr. Arsenault. This is somewhat startling, if true. Senator Arsenault was certainly an able send an honest man; but we believe that our

French-Canadian fellow citizens will not fee] that he was the only one in Prince Edward Ieland fit to be trusted to take a seat in the Senate. We are not French-Canadians who have all along supported Sir Louis Davies and sent the late Mr. Perry to the House of Commons on his behalf. It may be that Sir Louis has gauged them rightly. Residents of Tignish and Abraham’s V_llage, and Fif- teen Point and vicinity, will be able to say whether or not the estimate placed by Sir Louis Davies upen his French Canadian supporters is ccrrect.

—Montres!l Gazette: Speaking at Lindeay, in 1896, Sir Wilfrid Laurier complained that in the Conservative Gov- ernment of the day, Sir Hibbet Tupper, minister Gf justice, drawing a salery of $7,000 a year, had am assistant at 4,060 « year, and a solicitor-general ata salary of $5,000, and yet spent $100,000a year ia legal feee. The Auditor-General’a report shows that under Sir Wilfrid Laurier the same salary was paid to a minister of Justice as under the Conservative rule, that there wae an assistant and a solicitor- general at unchanged rates of pay, and that $101,409 was paid out in legal fees in year. Sir-Wilfrid said the Conservative expenditure was corrupt and indefensible, aud that it would not be maintained when he got into power. He is in power, and the expenditure is maiotained.
