A ------------------------------ er mee. PRINCE ALBERT, APRIL 10, 1873. THE COST OF PARTY. , Of all the useless extravagantly expen- sive fogs which can ufllict a people, iron clad, nghied jacketted politics is about the worst and one of the chief hinderances to niitional progress. Tt isall very well for those ,who trade in politics, who have everything to gain by political trickery. 10 how! party ! party | instead of country * country! who get. rich on the folly of those who dance to the discordant notes of every political trickster whko draws bis eabnistance 'from political anarchy and confusion. We say it is no way surpris. ing to, ficd politicnl gamblers playing ai forfeits as they have at least a chance 10 win ; bat-how under heaven, these politi- esl iricksiers manage to drag so many followers through the mud at their chariot wheels is a mystery. 'Lhe community have all to Jose and nothing to gain from iron shackled politcal partyism. We submit that there is not one man in every five thousand who would not be ready. and glad to receive good measures without scrople from any set of men or govern-- ment without even stopping to ask what may be the political shibboleih of the party introducing the measures were it not fir these sowers of discord who are more anxion fo secure a seat around the flesh fois than to seek the weal of the country. - The truth of this assertion was reodered conspicuously manifest during the government of the late, justly lamented, Ji S. Macdonald. That Government was decidedlygihie best that this Province bas ever seen ; but did it please tbe iron-clad political party bowlers. O, no! not at lt'! they fairly raved against Jobn 8. and off who wrouglit with Lim, because for- sooth he dared to break up the foolish blustering party" cabals and deprive the loudest mouthed party howlers of the. frui's of their trickery. The political thimble riggers imagined that so soon as what they were pleased tocull their party got into prwer that all the flash pots, the loaves and fishes of offite were theirs by right without the slightest regard-to their entire'ubsence of public hones:y or legis- lative ability. Fheir being able 10 proncunce their political shibboleth was not sufficient for the Hub. Jobo 8., be regardec the ins terest and prosperity of ihe country as of for more value and importance than the hollow praise ond deceitful laudation of blatant party tyrants: who cared not one straw for ihe country's weal in comparison to party conquest and self-aggrandize- ment. Mr. Macdonald, lbowever, did not toke off Lis hat to these political whippers in, he wisely selected such men, jirrespec-- tive of party, as he believed best fitted to 6ll the pasitions and who were most like- - Ig.tg forward the interests of ihe country. The result proved the correctness of his judgment and gave us sucha governmen: . as we have mot lad since. But the good- ness of the govervment wag no protection olitice) regilers, and what open warfare could not accomplish treachery carried with a bigh band, and now the province has time to lament its folly when it is 100 late, 'We have now got & Gor ernment who gislate only for tlieir special cluding themselves--and' let nd thers go to. hry + | aud 'weighs 2,000 gate certain reports which bad come to his knowledge implicating the Government, The request for the commitiee was all perfectly right in itself. If the Member had reason to believe that the reports had a reasonable foundation he was taking the course best adapted to "accomplish the object which he as en hon. member ought alone to have in view, the vindication of the honor of the country or giving minis~ ters an opportunity of refuting the slander if such it were. But the party howlers regarded this as romething too good to let slip, too good an opportumty for dis- playing their political slight of hand ; they knew that the investigation would be de: sired by both friends and foes of the Government, and they naturally expected that it would be carried by a large major- ity. The wairers on political providence had the cunnivg so to deck up the coming motion as 1o make it appear an equivatent to a trial of-strengih between the Govern. ment party and the party of the opposition declaring that should the motion carry it would be regarded as a want of confiJence motion, This entirely ehanged the as- or decoyed into a trap. If the opposition tion, such an investigation ss' the charac ial out of it against the 76 who said yea. and burned their own fingers badly. They now set up a fearful howl, guage : no defence, but called on the men whose elections were won by the expenditure of the nioney 'o vote down the moticn ! and they did it." As sure's you live ! Why did not they allow themselves fo be in from the cold shades ? But matters did not stop here for Sir John wishing to administer a befitting rebuke to his ungeu- be had nothing to fear from the threaten-- ed investigation gave notice of a motion for the appointment of a similar commi:tee its foundation. Mr. Huntington's motion would have cprried without any opposition kad it not been for the abominable rider which the political tricksters placed upon it and which, like-the Trogian horse, they expected would carry them within: the en- vied citadel. This latter action of Sir John drives the outs fairly crazy aud they it, and 10 order 10 gulFall hat are -suffi- ciently' gullable -they promulgate more trash. Here is the Globe's magaified de- liverance on the subject : « There had been rumours during the morning that the government would take this course, in consequence of the dissatjs- faction of their supporters with the vote forced upon them on the previons evening Even the sirongest ('onservative parly men felt themselves disgraced by their action, whi'e those who represent Reform constituencies were alarmed about the fu-- wre, Rumour says, however, that besides the pressure of their followers, the Gov- ornment got a hint from bigher power that such charges could not.be suffered to pass unanswered." tay Very likely this ¢ higher ferred 10 as " giving a hint" is the Globe, or it may be the Queen Las sent a tele. gram rebuking the Government supporters for bursting: the_ballaon which was 'ex-- pected to. conveff the. anxious trembling ever, they will weit a little longer.

Our Port Perry friends, we shold judge, have some reason to complein in this direction. In every list of new insolvents'" one finds almost anywhere a fair portion of the addresees of said insolvents are given Port Perry while not a man of them ever lived or are likely to live within miles of that village. 'These grand mistakes are the work of the Official Assignee, who appears anxious to let the community know, that Ee hus begun to get hold of this business and gives the piace of bis own residence instead of that of the insolvent. 'This dodge becomes a sort of advertisement ; we should judge however, that the inhabitants of these villag. § would fully as soon that he would adopt some less questionable mode of run- ning up a business. It is true that the stupid matter of making numbers of these appear to hail from this neighborhood cannot do any positive injury as the thorough, unquestionable stability of our merchants is beyond all doubt. Still the bungling practice is apt to give us a no-~ toriety,where we are not sufficiently known, not at all desirable. i Ate ms FEELING WHERE IT 1S SORE. Some time ago the agitation for allow~ ing newspapers to pass free of postage was renewed with considerable stow of suc. cess, and it was reasonably expected that every newspaper w the Dominion would lend i s aid in securing so desirable an ob- ject. But such was not the case. Mos: | of the Dailies were silent and those that did speak --the Toronto Globe for one-- recommended the retension of the abnox ious tex, Tt did not touch tbe Globe on a sore spot consequently it did not feel, comparitively few of his papers passing through the Post Offices in the legitimate way ; in fact he diddles the Post Offices out of their l-gitimate revenue by sending his papers by 'Tom, Dick and Harry a1 a much less rate than the regular postage. Bat some of the Post Office understrappers are beginning. to intetfere with this more than doubtful mode of treating the Post Office and they are putting a stop to it and order the papers 10 be carried 1 the legiti- mate way. This louches a 'sore place and makes the Globe squirm feartully. He will doubtless be botn long and loud against the obnoxion= newepaper impost if the il- legitmate traffic is prohibited. eet ----ene TIE ILL-FATED ATLANTIC. News of the truly appalling calamily connected with the foundering of this un- fortunate vessel came to hand gre we wen! to press with our last issue ; but we relrain- ed from elluding to it, expecting (and we are glad that our expectations have lo a certain extent been verified) that the dread proportions of ths disaster were exaggerat- ed. That statement gave the number of the lost at 750 souls. More recent ac- counts, however, show that the number of the lost is 546, and that 1s awful. The following particulars may be relied on as authentic . The unfostunate steam-ship Atlantic was built in Belfast, Ireland, in 1871. She was an izon vessel of 3,725 1ons burden and one of the finest looking, best fitted up steamers afloat. She belonged to the White Star line. On the 20in' of March Inst she sailed from Liverpool for New York, Copt. . Williams, Master. She took ont 33 cabin passengers, 800 steerage pas- sengais, 800 steerage passengers and 143 nauds, including the officers, making in all 976 people on board of whom over 300 were women and children. On the morning of the eleventh day out--the 3lst March =the Captain fearing that his coal would not sarry him to New York, turned his course towards Halifax for.a supply. Everything went on well till she came within 20. miles of Halifax, aboot 3 o'clock of the following morning -- Apiil let--=when without a mo* meunt's, notice jhe; awfully fatal crash took place, the ship struck heavily on Maur's Island and stuck fast among the breakers on the rocky coat ;and here a scene 160k plage which bafiles "description. 976. hus man. beings about 10 be cast into the rush- ing, hissing, loaming billows which aps peated greedy to receive their reluctant victims. : A few minctes alter the vessel siryck she was thrown over on one side and hus many, were drowned under decks, and many washed overboard, the rest. climbed the rigging, The » 1 BR pur- s distance from the wreck to the Th o wan aboot 140 yards.

But who insures tha precious lives or restoren the dear lost ones to the emb ing and di late friends . © DOMINION PARLIAMENT, In the House of Commons on the Ist inet. the financial policy «f the Government was discussed with much vim. Sir Francie the late Finance Minister, taking the lead. He set out by congratulating his succestor ou the clear and foicible budget speech' on the previous Jag. He next replied lo the speech of Me. McKenzie delivered on that occasion. Especially did Sir Francis at- tack that pertion of Mr. MeKenzie's epeech which referred to his (Sir Francis') views on the subject of protection. wu Several hon. members took part in the discussion. On the 20d ingtant Mr. Huntingdon mov ed the following motion :--A member of this House having stated in hia place thai he is credibly informed, and that he be- lieves 1hut he can establish by watistuctory evidence : 'That mw unticipation of the leg=- islution of lust searion us Jo the Pucific Railway, an agreement was made between Sir Hugh Allan, acting tor himeelf and cer tain oiher Conudian promoters, and G.

The motion being put to the House there were 76 yeas aud 107 nays, so the motion was lost. On the 3rd Sir John A. Macdonald rising in hia place in the House said :--1 wish 10 give notice that I will on Tuesday next. ask the House 10 appoint u Special Com- mittee of five, to be relecied by the Honse, tor tne purpose of considering the evtject mentioited in the motion of the hon, mem- ver for Shefford yesterday. (Crees from the Government benches ) The Commit tee can be drawn by the House, and if need be it can have special power 10 eit during recess, and if need he a Royal Commission for the purpose of giving it additional pow- ers. A long and spirited discussion took place on the subject of reciprocai free trade with the United States. ' The Dual Representation Bill rendering members of Legislative Councils and Lug- islative Assemblies ineligible for sitting or voting in the House of Commons, was read a third time and passed. A considerable portion of the time of the House is shill taken up wiih the matter of privilege, but the time taken up by tha subject is' by no means all waste of time.
