The Railway.
——
‘Yur P. BE. Island Railway has been, and |
is. ‘fin the hands of tha enemy.” quently it has, as tar as possible, been managed in such a way that it atforded a minimum of advantage at a maximum ot cost. ‘The protestations and agitations of friends of the country and the railroad have, however, beon beneficial. remembers the desperate energy with which the Hon. L. H. Davies and his friends op- posed the issuing of second-class tickets. Yet the persistent agitation of Mr. Pope who know the wants of
Everyone
and his supporters the country and have its interests at heart
forced the Railway managers to give way; and to-day, we believe, a large majority of passengers travel in sec md-class cars at two cents per mile instead of three. Other equally manifest advantages have been ob- tained in the same way.
But the radically benefical change made on Monday last is, we believe, due to the fact that this year we are to have a general election. Having ill-treated Prince Edward Island for four years, the MeKenzie Party fondly and vainly imagines that it will ob- tain a new lease of power, by being goedy-
good fora few months. The “New ‘Time Table” is much better than any that preceded it. A man in Charlettetown can
eo to Tignish or Souris, stay a few hours and return on the same day. Or he may eo to Summerside or Georgetown in the morning, stay all day, and return in the evening. Or he may go to Summerside or Georgetown in the evening, stay all night, and return in the morning before the busi-, ness day begins.
no the other hand, a man living in any partof the Island-—east of Summerside—may
§” mise j
come to Charlottetown, stay nearly all day, and return to his home in the evening. Or} he may come in the evening and go early in | the morning. This isa great improvement over the facilities we have hitherto pos- sessed: and we are sure it will be appreci- ated by canvassing politicians and the tray- elling public generatly.
it is, of course, too soon to write any- thing about connections with steamers. If, however, the steamer at Summerside leaves at or about the same hour she did last year, passengers residing west of Summerside will be subjected to the same annoyance they were subjected to last year. They will arrive in Summerside in time to , #e0 the steamer going out of thé harbor, and will be obliged to wait in Summerside till the fol- lowing day. We hope this difficulty may be avoided by arranging that the trains shall leave Tignish sooner and travel faster, or that the steamer shall leave later in the morning-—-or a little of both. Let the con- nection be made in any case.
There is one point in which the ‘new arrangement” must be amended— and the sooner the better. The conductors of ex- press trains have, we note, received positive orders not to stop at any way stations. Even were this order advertized and ex- pressed clearly in the ‘“Time Table’ — which it is not—it will, if carried out, be a source of endless dissatisfaction and trouble. People who have perhaps travelled many miles to take the train at the nearest station will be put to confusion when they see it rattle by and no heed whatever taken of their signals; and a man who has taken the train for a way station will naturally feel intensely annoyed if he is carried many miles beyond it. In the interests of the public we ask that this order be counter- manded. The trouble given and the time lost in accommodating the people at way stations, as elsewhere, will, we venture to say, never be felt. We trust the Superin- tendent will take this order of his into fur- ther consideration without delay. The “¢ new arrangement” has only been in force two days, and already we hear of complaints made by disappointed travellers.
The Express trains will, in the course of a few days——especially if this order be countermanded—hbe taken by nearly every- one who travels either for business or pleas- ure; and therefore we are pleased to learn that Conductors so obliging, careful and
popular as Messrs. Kelly, McGowan and Campbell have been selected to take charge of them.
In conclusion, we may congratulate the country on the fact that a general election is coming on; for to that fact they owe in- creased accommodation on the Railway.

AN election held recently in South North umberland for the Imperial Honse of Com- mons resulted in a tie, the candidates—one a Liberal and the other a Conservative—re- ceiving 2,912 votes each. The vacancy was caused by Lord Eslington, Conservative,
succeeding his father, the lat» Earl of Ra-\ vensworth, and taking his seat in the House! of Peers. ‘The serior member for the riding, | Mr. W. B. Beaumont, is a Liberal.

paragraphs from the Toronto (tobe
Halifax Chronicle. These journals are very much interested im the position held by Mr. Pope. We may inform them that Mr. P%pe’s position is perfectly sectre. Mr. Pope was never held in higher estimation by the people of Prince Edward Island than he is to-day. Consequently his position is impregnable.
When the Toronto Globe and the Halifax Chronicle impugn the consistency of Mr. Pope, people can hardly help remembering that both are Free Trade supporters of a Free Trade Premier, who says oracularly that Free Trade cannot ,be maintained in this country ! who says that he is in favor of ** incidental protection,” who gave Work- man his ‘‘hearty suppert ”’ when Workman's policy was to tax United States produce coming into Canada@ust what, Canadian products going into the United States are taxed! The Toronto Globe and Halifax Chronicle are engaged in trying to make black appear white. The Globe mixes its colors. One day it states positively that ‘there are no Free Traders in the Domin- ion ;” the next it claims to be the organ of the ‘‘ great Free Trade Party ;’ at one time it denounces’ Sir John McDonald as the leader of a movement to impose prohib- itory duties ; at another it declares that the champion Free Trader may endorse Sir John’s policy and be ‘‘ the champion Free Trader still.” The Halifax Chronicle, un- like its contemporary, is a straight Free Trader—supporting Jones, who advocates a protective duty on sugar! Both are play- double game—and The Patriot's quotations,
ing at the Premier's
playjpe badly. thow¥h curious, are carefully selected. _ ——

We are pleased to learn some citizens are already the Civic elections. the Patriot writes : ‘Last August, realizing to a certain extent our responsibility, we succeeded in electing a Mayor whose business capacity is un- doubted. In a very short time, although hampered by petty jealousies, he soon
brought order out of confusion. As a re- sult our accounts are not now kept ‘‘in an
almanac,’ hut reduced to a first-class sys- tem, while each month adds greater efii- ciengy to our civic service. Charlottetown will be remiss in her duty if, at the coming election, which promises to be a lively one, she does not handsomely second his efforts by surrounding him with a Council com- posed of our very best business men. Re- tormations of all kinds have always en- countered hostilities and it is not at all sur- prising to find men opposed to the ‘‘present regime.” I have no ‘‘axe to grind,” as you, Mr. Editor, well know; neither am |] writing at the solicitation of interested par- ties, nor any one else. As a citizen of Charlottetown, having common interests in her prosperity, [am desirous of seeing the very best men represenéfhg us at the Civic Board. I deprecate the introduction of either Dominion or Local party polities into our civic affairs. So long as Liberals and Conservatives are so stupid as_ to allow their party prejudices to interfere with their duties as citizens, real efficiency can- not be expected.”
Oyster Shells as a Feriilizer.
The inhabitants of the Gulf shore, from Shediac to Buctouche, and even farther north, during the past winter have gone largely into the hauling of oyster shells as inanure for their fields, many of which are covered with white heaps of shells, In some cases the shells have been hauled « distance of three and a half miles into the interior. There seems to be a diversity of opinion in regard to the proper use of this article. Some say that when used on sandy soil, only a little must be applied, and that if too much be spread out, the land will be burned. Others are of a contrary opinion. In view of the very extensive use which is about being made of these vast deposits, extending in depth, in some cases, to more than twenty teet, it would be well for the Agricultural Department to avail itself of the great experience of farmers on Prince Edward Island, some of whom haul oyster shells twenty miles. May not these shells, at some future day, be carried by rail to aid in the cultivation of counties touched by railroad lines, since the cost of getting them in the winter is very little, as they are extremely abundant, and labor very cheap! It may be well to ascertain the ex- tent and depth of these deposits, which would be a proper subject of inquiry for the Department of Agriculture. It is stated that oyster shells as thus occurring prove more valuable fertilizers than stable ma- nure. If the facts be as alleged, our city oyster dealers will find themselves in poses- sion of an article of refuse which may prove of agricultural and commercial value. In that case, who knows but the consumer may be able to effect a reduction in the
price of oysters, stewed, roasted, fried, ete.? |

Sirn,—Your readers are very much disap- pointed that you have not published a yer- batim report of the eloquent address of Mr. BE. J. Hodgson at laying thethe foundation stone of the new School Building on West Street. His was an address which many in that assemblage would wish to preserve because it was worth preserving. i. | oe
Your contemporary the ‘Daily Patriot gives a garbied and untruthful version of the whole proceedings. Political deities may be worshipped without sacrificing truth om ther altars.
You both show a lamentable want of enter- prise is not publishing the speechesgin full. | imagine you could yet get Mr. Hodgson s; and L express not only my own opinion, but that of every unbiased person whe heard him, that such an oration is better worth preservation than the rant of a whole parliamentary s#ession of our Legislature.

i ee ee Was There Collusion ?
in . This evening's Citizen makes some state ments, which, if true, establish beyond question the collusion of the Dominion Cabinet with the fraudulent Government of Quebec. It says :—
fact that Mr. Cartwright, as Dominion Fi- nance Minister, acting in concert with the Premier, and maintaining the alliance es- tablished between the Federal Government and the Provincial Government of Quebec, had put his hand into the public Treasury and loantd Mr. fouteaux, of the Bank Ville de Marie, $50,900 at 4 per cent , Mr. Fouteanx, on the 30th march, writing to Mr. Houde, M. P. P. for Maskinonge, en-
iticing him to desert the Conservative party
and t# assist Mr. Joly in the Local, and Mr. Mackenzie in the Dominion elections. This statement has never been denied. In fact we challenge the Finance Minister to deny it. But more, we now assert that not far beyond a week ago, Mr. Cartwright again put his hand into the public treasury of the Deminion, and loaned the bank St. Hyacinthe $25,000 at four per cent. know- ing that Mr. Barchand, the New Provincial Treasurer of Mr, Joly’s Government is president of that monetary institution. Does Mr. Cartwright dare deny this asser- tion.”
In the same connection there is a state- ment going the round of the lobbies, and which | believe to be true, that Mr. La- fiamme, the Minister of Justice, gave to the Mayor of a certain Lower Canada mu- nicipality the other day, the sum of $100 to. be spent in the elections. The fellow got drunk and volunteered the information to persons who are ready to testify to it on oath if necessary.-—Toronto Mail, 25th.
