LEPPERS 10 THE EDITOR,
Letter from Mr. Hackett, M. P.
Srr,—I notice that considerable public attention has been dire@ted lately to our financial relations with the Dominion.
Many persons allege that the people of the Island pay, each year, into the Domin- ion exchequer a sum largely in excess of what they receive therefrom.
The question is one of considerable pub- lic interest, and if it can be shown that we,
two or three hundred thousand dollars more
monce agitating for a readjustment of our financial affairs. Mr. J. H. Bell, Barrister of Summerside, in a letter to the Patriot of 6th inst., states that last year the Island contributed to the Dominion Revenue the

paid for it too. Capt. McElhinney in the whole transaction has showed himself everything else but the name that Arthur Irving: calis him. Arthur Irving got a good billet, and after last winter he should be very thankful to get that itself, It is useless to beat about the bush in this matter. A good smart man like we hear Capt. McElhinney is, is just the man that is needed to bring order out of chaos. Now, suppose it was Arthur Irving was general superintendent, would it not be as likely he would not choose or allow some of those trained sons to run the machine and get the largest pay over and above the heads of men who in every thing it takes to make a wan wear, their superiors? It is to be hoped there will be no change, and Capt. McElhintey will ron the business on the present arrangement. It is generally believed he is the right man in the right place. Wasp.

Srr.—There being a good many commu- nications in the newspapers concerning the crossing at the Oapes, also the respective claims of the different men who have here- tofore had the mail under their control, I will with permission explain the matter as it appe ars to me for years back to have been managed. In the year 1869 or 1870 there were calis for tenders. Muttart and Irving got the contract, although theirs was not the lowest by any means (it was then said they would always have it in their families, as they would train their sons, ete.) They | have had it ever since without teadering | for it; and I cannot see what the hue aad ery is about that they were not paid enough for their services. At any rate they were the men the rulers delighted to always | honor; and if they, by their improvidence, | have not mads money out of it in all the) years they have had it, it is their own) fault and not the fault of any government. | They had the control long enough to train their sons, and we suppose they did 89, | and put them in charge; results, said sons! were in charge last winter at the time of
the unfortunate disaster. How much suffering, how many maimed for life ! No} wonder the department sent a sober, |
;
responsible man down last winter to inves-| ; : ; oe tigate, and if ever a department dida just, good act for the safety of the public, and one they will ' in the future, they have done it now.

Tae Capes’ Service.
Sir,—CaptainjIrving,jin his letter in Tur Examiner of Jan, 220d, says: ‘Is there any other man on the Island who would say an inexperienced man should be placed at the head of so important a branch of the public service!’ meaning the ice-boat service, We consider this misleading. The way we see the matter, from an indepen- dent standpoint, is this: The department, after last winter's disaster, very properly saw there was something wrong. They sent a gentleman to investigate and report. He did so, no doubt, faithfully and well. They now send the same man down to the Capes, not to take charge and cross, but to employ the best men as masters to take charge of the boais and cross ; at the same time to give them regulations to work by. The rules printed are just what shonld have been printed and acted upon by the late contractcrs. The men that Captain Me- Kihinney has chosen are good men, and
men the public, or a good many of them, have crossed with before. No person will attempt to say anything agairst Captain M. Mattart. He has
hai twenty years experience and is no small clumsy boy. Captain Themas Howatt also is second to no man who crosses or has crossed for the last 8 or 10 years. Suppose Ca) tain Iaving had been Superintendent, he might have chosen men who would again make a mistake. As for Capt. McEthin- ney’s previous bungling, we do not believe. Captain Irving, ;with all his wisdom, can substantiate his impertinent slander. As for Senator Carvelil being the only enemy he has on the Island, he, no doubt will find, as others of much greater influonce than he has found, and that to their sorrow, that Senator Carvell isa foeman woghy of his steel—one that seldom or never comes out second best; and with him the comparison is simply frivolous and act@ally should not be noticed.
