APRIL 20, i882.
The Platform of the Government.
Ir is hardly necessary to ask the psople of Prince Edward Island to read carefully the *‘ Card” of the Leader of the Govern- ment, which is published to-day, in another column of Tas Examiner. We feel sure that it will be studied and criticized with a solicitude commensurate with the im portance of the best interests of the Pro- vince, which are involyed in the result of the coming election.
Some three or four years ago the Leader of the Government published a ‘* Card ;” and the Government was returned to power by an overwhelming majority. Then the Governnient had no record ; and a gigantic work lay before them. The people of th: Island were in a state of high excitement and indignation ; quietude and content had to be restored. The public business was in confusion ; order had to be established out of chaos. The public aceounts showed a large balance against the Province with- out including the mysterious suspense account, and a legacy of deficit had te be contended against whilst current expendi tures were met by current receipts.
By prudence,
he pas-
All this has been done. by economy, by retrenchment, by t sage of judicions measures,the wants of the Province have been met, the heavy deficit has been exchanged for a handsome sur- plus, the Poll Tax has been swept away, the Assessment Act bas been repealed, and
previous to the announcement of the
approaching election, the country was
politically in a state of absolute calm. The Leader of the Government now
issues a second ‘“‘card,” in which he chal- leages attention to what has been accom- plished, and indicates the course which the Government will, in the future, pursue. They will*continue to foster agriculture and stock raising; they will, as soon as| possible, abolish the Legislative Council, and reduce the cost of Legislation; they will continue to prosecute their claim for compensation for tho use of our fisheries by the Americans; they will require the complete fulfilment of the terms of Confed- étation, they will maintain the policy of economy, retrenchment and reform
This is a strong platform ; it the Opposition have produced, so far, nothing whatever but a policy of negation, “petty slander, opprobrious epithets and nick-names.

Bank of P. BE. Island.
——~—» -
Ar an adjourned meeting of the. Stock- holders of the Bank of Prince Edward Island, held at the Banking House of the Bank, in Ch’town, the President in the chair, the following resolution was unani- mously passed :—
Resolved, In view of porsible resumption, that in the opinion of this meeting, it visable to appoint a Committee of eight to ascertain if the Depositors are willing to rebate thirty per cent. on the amount of their deposits, and to correspond with the Dominien Government, the Bank, and other creditors, with a view to a similar reduction.
The following gentlemen were thereupon appointed the Committee: R. R. Fits- Gerald, L. L. Beer, C. C. Gardiner, Benj. Heartz, Thos. Handrahan, Patrick Blake, Richard Sloggett, and Robert Crabbe, Esquires.
if aa-
Joun LonowortTs, President.
Tus resolution, in our opinion, means earnest work. The several writers in Tur Examiner have all written urging a some- what similar scheme. The Committee ap- pointed are all men well known in this community, and their names are a sufiicient guarantee that no effort will be spared, on their part, to accomplish resumption, if possible. We believe that they intend sending a circular to every depositor, whether on call or on interest, asking his
consent to this reduction, which cir- eular will contain a full and complete statement of the pres- ent position of the Bank. This is, of
course, the last hope of resumptien ; it is bat fair, however, to every depositor to try itso that hereafter no depositor can say, had we been asked,we would have only been too willing to have given up thirty per cent. of our deposit +o secure the bal- ance.
This scheme will put it in the hands of the depositors to decide as to the fortune of the Bank. The Directors havecontributed their voluntary contribution. The share- holders paid in one full call. The deposit- ors have now the opportunity to contribute their quota. If they do it, resumption is feasable, anda great calamity is averted. No depositor who has his own intersst in view should lose a moment in answering this mentor in the aflirmative. We still have hopes for the Bank of P. E. I.—a hope founded on the desire evinced by Directors, Shareholders and Depositors coming forward in this, the day of its need, to render it practical azsistance.

Tue N, Y. Heral:t’s London correspondent writing en the 28th says:—In politics of course there ia a lull, but Liome Rule is still in the air. The Scotch Home Rulers appear to be better able to reply to Mr. Gladstone’s request to formulate a scheme than their Irish brethren. The Burgh convention has com- menced its annual meeting in Edioburzh, and immediately proceeding to unanimously adopt a resolution in favour of Home Rule, namely that all Scotch legislation should he effected, subject to the approval of Parliament an4 the veto of the Crown, by Scotchmen chosen trien- ninally by the electors of the burghs and counties, This decided step may act, to use @ hunting phrase, as a sort of breaking the top bar for the Lrish horse to follow and make the big jump sucecssfully.

Notes of a Naturalist.
mene ‘‘Thy song, eweet robin, soft as dew, Heard soon or late, is dear to me; To music I wuld bid adieu, But not to thee.” Welcome to the gentle | harbingers of !» Last night a hun- dred swift thrush wings swept the Gulf. With the first blush of morn they were here, and the groves everywhere rang with the loud, clear, honest calis of robins. The Linuet poured its head long cascade of song through the golden flood of the morn- ing sky . The Blue-birds’ silver bell tolled clear on the still air. The sweet * sink of the Song Sparrow stole with the silver shafts of sunlight through the leafless sprays of the coppice. But Robin's louder note, rich and full, came floating from every grove far over the landscape, like the voice of an old familiar friend returned to
Lo, they cone !

our companionship.
For the past moath we have had a stray Robin or two, but the first real arrival of a spring flock was this morning, April Ldth. This is as early as usual, and shows that the season must be advanced in other parts of the continent, though lato here.
It is a misnomer to speak of those early singing. They chirp, call and chatter for companion ship or sport ; but do not warble for weeks after the first have come. Indeed we must ; time vet to hear much warbling. When the warming breezos change the deep blue to the soft ultimarine of spring; when the willows put out their silkey cat kins, and the populars hang their tresses to the when the crim- son buds of the maple swell, and the brown butterfly floats his gold-edged wings on the sunshine of the leafless glades ; then Robin will tune his love note, and the soft, rich, varied tones of his warble fill the mel- low air of amber-tinted eve.
At first they sing in the evening; but, later on, if you would hear the tull force and beauty of their song, you must be up with the dawn and away tothe wood-land. You may be disappointed if the morning is unfavorable; or, again, you may be sur- prised to hear how the whole air and still dusky sky will ring with the ceaseless flood of soft, pure, rippling music. A thoueand purling streams, a thousand silver, gush- ing wavelets,a thousand whispering breezes, could not fill the air with a fuller swell of harmony than a score of early jocund Thrushes.
While snow covers the fields and great banks pile their frigid marble round the groves, you will wonder where Robin finds his meals. Come with me to the sheltered

beeches rear their vast crowns to woo the softening breezes to sleep, and the keen sunshine pours in silvery flashes down their great smooth trunks. At their feet the moss-cushioned hillocks raise their velvet through the snow. Don’t you mind them long days ago,when we used to go gathering sap from the maples? How we sought the soit cushions to repose on, when weary snow! Well, these hillocks

Now the olive sprays of sun-lit moss are alive with insects. Numbers of frog-hoppers, in their light green coats, vault clear across the mossy field. Then there are purple carabi, spotted lady-birds, dusky miigales, with their dangerous-look- ing claws, lurking behind a spray of dead grass, and watching wus suspiciously with keen black eyes. Deeper in the recesses of the feathery forest, long, slim worms and iat lavres bury themselves in the shade. Here is an ample larder for Robin, and well he knows these secret stores of nature. Do you not remember ‘‘ The eyes of all wait upon Thee, and thou givest them their meat in due season !/” B.

To the Editor of the Examiner.
Sir,—I am charged with being the writer of a local that appeared in the columns of yesterday’s DarLty EXAMINER, wherein ‘* The attention of the Heaith Officer and the City Surveyor is respectfully directed towards the vicinity of the ‘ Railway Hotel.’” I wish to publicly deny being the writer of said local, and I hops you will exonerate me from the charge; but since you have mentioned the case I will give the full particulars.
The Inspector of Hides conducts his busi- ness on Richmond Street, in a small building belonging to the London House. He deposits the horns and tails that are taken off the hides in a corner of the yard, about eight feet from my kitchen door, and in close proximity to my outhouses—the only thing that separates us is a board fence.
There are at present about five or six cart loads in this corner, and Ido not think that it will be very pleasant of a hot day to inhale the perfume that will arise from this petrify- ing mass of corruption.
Therefore, [hope the ‘‘ Health Officer and the City Surveyor” will do their duty and see that this nuisance is removed at once, and also order the Inspector to retire to the out- skirts of the city. Should this be done, the neighborhood in general will rejoice, and thank you for being the first to bring this matter to the notice of the proper authorities,
Thanking you for lending us a helping hand,

Fo the Electors of the Second Bistrict of King’s County.
\ENTLEMEN,—‘The first act of the ¢ present Government on assuming the adminstration of affairs was to appeal to the Electorate of the Province fer an 1n- dorsation of the personnel and policy ef the Ministry. A programme was then for- mulated, which received the cordial ap- proval cf the people, and to which the Government have faithfully adhered. _ The usual number of legislative sessions constitating @ General Assembly, having terminated, the Government take the earliest opportunity of again consulting the constituencies, and of soliciting at the polls a renewal of public confidence.
On assuming oflice, the ministry found that the recklessness and extravagance of their immediate predecessors had resulted in imposing upon the Province a large By amalgamat- ing some of the Departments, reducing the salaries of officials, diminishing the cost of legislation and of administration, as well by improved management in every branch of the public service, the Gov- ernment have been enabled to remove the legacy of debt bequeathed to them by their opponents, and thers is now a con- siderable surplus to the credit of the Pro- vince. In view of this state of things, and knowing that they shall have sufficient revenue, for some time to come, to meet the public requirements and amply provide for every interest, the Administration, in pursuance of their policy of lightening the burdens of the people, have felt justified in repealing the Assessment Act.
The Government have, by every means in their power, fostered agriculture and stock- raising, as the leading industries of the Province, and they intend to continue increased encouragement in _the same direction. , It is much to be regretted that the measures framed by the Ministry for the abolition of the Legislative Council, failed to meet the approval of a majority of that body. The Government have done 4very- thing they could accomplish to give effect to the wishes of the people as expressed at the last General Election ; and it is their in- tention to submit to the Legislature next Ses- sion measures providing for the constitution of one legislative bedy, and otherwise calculated to reduce the cost of legislation.
The Ministry are now engaged in endeav- oring to secure for this Province a portion of the Fishery Award, with other compen- sation respecting the use of our fisheries by United States’ citizens, and the business shall be diligently prosecuted to its ter- mination.
The attention of the Dominion Govern- ment has been cailed to the failure of Canada to carry out the Terms of Confed- eration with this Province, by providing eflicient steam communication, winter and summer, between the Island and the main- land. The question is now under the consideration of the Privy Council, and it will be the duty of the Provincial Admin- istration to adopt such measures as shall secure to Prince Edward Island a complete and satisfactory fulfilment of the Terms of Union.
On the subjects to which I have alluded, as well as on all other public questions, the policy which the Government submitted to the people at the last general election, remains unchanged, and shall be pursued.
During the term of office of the present Ministry, the blessings of contentment, happinessand peace have prevailed through- out the Province, and it is the desire and determination of the Government to con- tribute towards a continuance of this pleas- ing state of things, by the ‘practice of economy and retrenchment in every de- partment, and by an honest and faithful administration of public affairs.
I have the honor to be, Your obedieut servant, W. W. SULLIVAN.
