MR. MARTIN’S REPRESENTATIONS.

Tue able correspondent of the St. John Sun states that Mr, Martin presented the case of Prince Edward Island, as to rail- wap extension, “in a way which rather surprised the House.” Mr. Martin, says the correspondent, pointed out that the Government of Canada has since Confed- eration spent $151,000,900 on railways, of which Pringe Edward Island's share is $2,700,000. Yet since Prince Edward Island has been a part of Canada nota mile of railway in that province has been constructed with government assistance, except the Cape Traverse branch, which is of no advantage io provinzial trade. Since confederation the railway mileage of Canada bas increased from 2,£00 to 16,600 mites. But the mileage in Prince Edward Island has not, with the above exception, increased at all. When Prince Edward Is- land went into the union, it had one mile of railway for every 420 people, which was more than any other province in Canada. The Dominion at large had then one mile for every 700 people. Now the Dominion has one mile for every 400 and Prince Edward [sland only‘one mile for every 517, Yatario has ene mile for 344, Quebee ove for every 442, New Brunswick one for 264, Neva Scotia oue for 50], Manitoba one for 103, British Columbia one for 122, N.W..T.° one for 32.—so that Prince Edward Island is in a worse position than avy other province, whereas she came into anion in the best position. By another ealculation Mr. Martin showed that for every mile of railway in the several pro- vinces the government and municipalities m each province have spent the following sums : Ontario, $2,725; Quebec, $4,656; New Brunswick, $3,555; Nova Scotia, $2,590; Manitoba, $900; British Columbia, $93, and N. W. T. nothing at all, while Prince Edward Island has paid the enor- mous rate of $15,400 for every mile of railway in the province.

Mr. Martin will resume his speech upon the next private members day, and he will without doubt, make clear before he is done, even to the Liberals in Parliament, she fact that Prince Edward Island is vightfully entitled to the railway entension claimed and promised by the late Govern- ment and also the Hon. Mr. Davies, If money for the cosstruction of the Belfast aod Murray Harbor Railway is not voted during this session of Parliament, the fault will not be Mr. Martin’s. It is a pity that we had not elected Mr. Martin, ard such men as he, years ago.

THE FISHERY INSPECTORSHIP.

Ma. Perry, lately the acting inspector of fisheries, has been elected to a seat in the House of Commons. The office is thus open for the Inspector of Fisheries,— Mr. James Yeo, of Port Hill. Mr. Yeo was appointed to the office by the Govern- ment of Sir Charles Tupper. His appoint- ment was duly ratified by the Governor Genera!. Mr. Yeo is, therefore, the In- spector for Prince Edward Island. He ought to be at once instructed to enter apon the duties of his office. When ques- tioned im the House of Commons a few days ago Mr. Laurier said that the ap- pointments made and ratified under the administration of Sir Charles Tupper would not be disregarded, but were only in suspense while the Government ascer- taimed the requirements of the public eer- vice and learned whether or not there was a necessity for these appointments. Now, there need be no further loss of time in respect to the appointment of Mr. James Yeo. Mr. Perry is well able to testify that ine services of a Fishery Inspector for this Prevince are needed. All Mr. Laurier has 10 do in this regard is to make enquiry of Mr. Perry, and then send Mr. Yeo his commission. We feel sure thet *e will be happy to do eo; for by so doing he will avoid a rather serious eplit among his Liberal office-seeking supporters here,

HOW IT WORKS!

We have beard a great deal lately about the new tariff,—how it increased the taxon luxuries; how it decreased the tax en necessaries ; how, according tothe mini- mam arrangement, it admits British good at considerably lower rates charged under the old, hateful tectionist, bad, N. P. tariff! Now “ the proof of the pudding is in the eating.” A few days ago, a merchant in this city paid the duty on four small entries of goods atthe old rate—bur subject to readjustment under the nw tariff. They were all British goods, They were al! necessary goods. They were all goods suchas are required by our farmers ard the people generally, Fally beheviog what he read in the Patriot, he expected that, when the readjustmert was made, he would receive from the Custcms a consi- derable rebate.

than were » tory, pro-

What was his surprise, on receiving the readjustment stat ments from the customs officials, to find that there was—notwithstanding the “ minimum tariff” applied to goods* imported frm Great Britain—an additional amount to te paid by him in respect to every entry, There were “cotton handkerchiefs” and colored cottons, colored shirts and liven towelling, table linens, carpets, mattings, and other such articles—upon all of which the duty was higher and not lower. four little entries amounted to $8.23. So it appears that our new Government

elected in the expeciation that they woujg greatly lighten taxation, have cleverly managed to inflict heavier taxes upon even British goods, and atthe same time to make the people of Canada and the British manufacturers believe that important con- cessions have been madeto Free Trade and particularly to British trade. Succes

tohumbug! Long live deceit.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

—The British ports, to which the Cana- dian cold storage steamere will sail from Montreal are: London, six steamers ; Bristol, five; Liverpool, four; Glasgow, two. The ports to whieh the steamers leaving Halifax, St. John and Charlotte- town will go are not stated.

—That employes of the Dominion Gov- ernment ought to be selected upon grounds other than those of party support in elec- tions, is made evident by the fact that two of the men lately appointed to the Govern- ment steamer Newfield have since been convicted of robbery at Halifax and sent to the penitentiary.

—It is reported thata deputation of steel Spring and axle manufacturers informed Hon. Mr. Paterson a few days ago that

Axe makers and makera of smal! inarvest band tools told Hon. Mr. Fielding the same story, After the Canadian factories are closed, and outsiders have a monopoly of Canadian business, prices will go up.

—A despatch to the London Daily Mail from Rome says that the compact of the powers constituting the tripie alliance was resumed on Thursday last for period of six years. The right to withdraw, under the terms of the original agreement, expir- ing on May 6th, and Germany has suc ceeded in persuading Italy not to exercise the right of withdrawal.

—The following ciipped from the Par- lismentary reports of the Ottawa Citizen will be interesting to our readers as a de- served tribate toone whois known to many here:

“In committee of supply, on the 4th inst., in csnsideration of the Public Works estimates and of the changes that had becn made in the office staff, Mr. Tarte said:

“ Mr. DesBrisay has been transferred from the Privy Council office to replace a Mr. Verreault, and he could say that Mr. DesBrisay was an exceptionally able man.”

“Mr. Davies,—‘i would be very glad to have Mr. DesBrisay in my department if there were a vacancy.’

“With that the item passed, the com- mittee rose and reported andthe House adjourned at 11.25 p.m.”

THE MAY

A new and improved form marks the opening issne of the Ninth Volume of the Canadian Magazine. This (May) number is exceedingly bright from every point of view, and shows that the progress of our | national publication stil! coatinues. The | illustrated articles are: “The Premiers of Nova Scotia since 1867” a most oppor- tune article at the present moment; “A Visit to the Birthplace of James Wolfe, the Conqueror ot Quebec,” which is most profusely illustrated from especial photographs and rare paintings; “Dreams of Genius,” a strong storo by Stambury R. Tarr; a French-Canadian poem by F. Clifford Smith, ete. Dr. Drummond, of Montreal, who bas a great reputation as a

writer of songs in the dialect cf Quetec habitan, contributes a story in verse en- titled “ *Poleon Dore.” defends his book on Quebec Act against recent attacks by Dr. Bouriro: and Professor Shortt. David Christie Murray writes very severely of the books written by Thomas Hardy and George Moore, and shows whereit they are worse than Z>la’s. P. T. McGrath. of the Herald, St. John’s, las a bright article on the denominational -cbools of Newfoundland. Kathleen Sul- livan coatributes a most amusing story. The whole number is an exceedingly brilliant one and will repay the seeker after either knowledge or pleasure.
