SIDEWALK EXTENSION.
in the spring, summer and autumn
months there are many persons who on Sundays or other days of the week walk out to the R.C. Cemetery and the Pe0ple`s Cemetery to take a look at the last resting-places of dear ones departed. _Even in the winter time all too many have occasion to follow thither the remains of relatives and friends, for the
death angel makes his visits to our homes at all seasons. Not every one can afford the expense of a team for these frequent visits tothe Quiet City of the Dead.
Beyond the Condensed Milk Factory
tlieieis no sidewalk. Pedestrians must
make their way as they can along the roadside or the road. Their number
includes many women and children and sometimes persons who are in delicate health. In the fall and spring, and In summer aftera rainfall, the walking is
bad along the further part of the way. A sidewalk is badly needed. \Vhy can it not be provided? The City might do its part and the Public \Vorks Department provide for what is beyond the city limit.
Or, failing these, the necessary money might be raised by subscription. These are merely suggestions. The extension of the sidewalk is a public necessity.

The Montreal Star is rendering the
country' valiant service in demanding the repeal of the salary grab at Ottawa. From day to day lt is printing in brief sentences the opinions ei the people in regard thereto. Each correspondent gives his name, address and the political party he favors. along, with his fopinion. Avery few excuse or condone the - transaction; the .i-§§_b`\’,l'l';fs”ority condemn it. many; “them in the strongest language they can find. Those thus condemming
the crab are nf both political parties and from all sections of the Dominion.
Now as The Star points out, and as has
been repeatedly shown in these columns, the extra $1,000 which each Senator and Member has snatched for himself,
amounts in the aggregate to $300,000u year, which is the interest on ten millions of dollars at 3 per cent. The Star proceeds:
“What if we spent ten millions on the
St. Lawrence routei What if ten millions
were expended in an honest endeavor to link Prince Edward Island more
eloselyito the other Maritime Pro- vinces? What if ten millions were used
to join the waters of Georgian Bay with those of either Lake Ontario or the Ottawal What lf ten millions were given to the Provinces to spend on Education T Surely for any one of these objects ten
millions could be more worthily and honestly expended than in lining the
lou‘s Corner. ]. M. NICHOLSON, _ i-3_8 d 1 vt. _ Telephone No. 253

IMPORTANT T0 STOCK EXHIBITORS.
An important announcement in regard to the coming Exhibition is made on our first page this morning. It is in brief that freight charges on live stock entered for competition having its starting point beyond dfteeu inilesjfrom Charlottetown on Prince Edward Island, and from Truro and Moncton on the Mainland will be paid by the Exhibition Association. All freight beyond these specified points to be paid by the exhibitor. The rule is generous in its provisions and ought to prove satisfactory to all.
It is designed toplace intending Island
exhibitors in an equal position, no matter where they live. The fifteen mile limit seems quiteafairone, all things con- sidered. An exhibitor living within fifteen miles of the city does not need the railway to bring in his stock. There is no unfairness in permitting exhibitors from distant points to have their stock brought all the railway and steamer journey free, because they may have to brinn their stock many miles from home to the railway or boat.
The new departure must be regarded
as a highly important and beneficial one. No person need complain let him live where he may as no one on the island is situated more than fifteen
miles from the railway, or some steam- boatlanding. At the Dominion Exhibit- ion this year at Halifax the Exhibition Commission only bear the excess of freight over one hundred miles. No person wishing to exhibit in Charlotte- town this year, be his residence ever so remote can have any cause of complaint
on account of expense in transporting his stock.
Furthermore, bringingihe exhibits of
live stock free from Truro or Moncton
on the Mainland cannot fail to be highly beneucial. It is almost certain to ensure
ailne array ofthe best stock from the other Provinces and will enable our
people to see the very best stock produced and shown in Canada. lt is also to be noted that the prizes are this year practically doubled as compared with previous years. This is the result of the Dominion grant of $l0.000. The Directors of the Association are showing praise- worthy forethought and care in their arrangements and all sinus give promise of far the best Exhibition ever seen in Prince Edward Island.
