LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

The ‘‘ Patriot” and the Fishery Bounty.
Si1r,—The amount of fishery bounties, so far distributed is $127,960. The Patrivt is anxious to know how much of this sum has gone into the pockets of the poor fisher- men. Pray, what does the grumbling editor mean / Does he wish 1t to be under- stood that farmers, mechanics and others, not engaged in the fisheries. have by mak- mig a false declaration fraudlently obtained the bounty / If this is what he means why had he not the manliness to say so. Iam aware that the Patriot believes the fishery bounty to fishermen a most ‘vicious’ thing, but then our fishermen can afford to enjoy both the bounty and their own — on this matter. This bounty, I venture to say, has proved a great blessing some families having obtained last spring as high as $20.00 a family. It is to be hoped

‘DEAR Sir,—Allow me to express the |
hope that the next time the literary | Inspector of Fisheries visits this part of the country, he will take a glance at Fortune. River with the view of having a supply of | salmon ova placed therein—as is being wisely done in other rivers of the Island, |
1 find by his last year’s report that the: champion fish of the season was a female | sea trout, caught at Rollo Bay, with a fly, whiéh weighed four pounds and three ounces. I have heard doubt expressed as to the weight of this champion fish which ' eutitled the sportsman who caught it to an | honorable mention in the Inspector's an- nual report ; but no one need doubt, as the fish was really caught and not by net but’
} i
by hook, and I may say that the day it was | caught was not much of a day for fishing. either. There is no question about it—the | finest trout caught on the Island are taken! at Rollo Bay and Bay Fortune. At the| atter place especially the genuine speckled | sea trout of the finest flavor are taken, |
All things considered, I believe no other)
-Tiyer.on the Island is more favorably situ- | |ated for the reception and development of
salmon ova. Now that the lobster craze is' fast abating more attention in the future is} likely to be paid to the canning of other kinds of fish. Lobsters on our coast, ow- ing to the excessive fishing, are much smaller now than in former years, and be- sides, their inflamability it is thought has largely increased of late. Hence the wis- dom of devoting more attention to the re- stocking of our rivers and bays with fish equally valuable, and far more palatable than the lobster. Yours truly, NATIVE.

The Scott Act.
Sin,—Though there has been much dis- cussion of late on the manner in which the Scott Act has been carried out, a few obser-- vations from a disinterested person may not be out of place. A few years ago such a deluge of drunk- enness was sweeping over P. EK. Island that the temperance men became alarmed. An Inspector was appointed by the Govern- ment (Davies), who strictly enforced the license law. New temperance societies | were formed and old ones resuscitated, the clergy took part in the work, and in the greater number of parishes the pledge was administered, the people were schooled up to principles of sobriety, by the most able and eloquent’ speakers, and they became virtually temperate. Drunkenness soon became rare. Now and then a man might be seen under the influence of liquor, but
‘

, we need not expect much falling off in the Imports.
f The people must first be educated up to the principles of strict sobriety. The seed | sown hy the temperance men of to-day will ‘yield a. rich harvest in the future, Even ,now the sheaves are ripening. In the meantime we must do our best to stamp out the “‘shebeens,” to enforce the law as ‘faras we can. The shanty keepers have |grown bold, they defy the officers of the law, they. carry cn their illegitimate busi- ;ness unblushingly, and send their miserable dupes staggering cut into the streets at all hours, to curse and blaspheme, and annoy _their neighbours, maddened by the pioson- ous dregs and ‘‘liquid insanity” they have been pouring down their throats, a horrible example for the young. Weask the proper | officers to do something in earnest to close down the shanties, to make a determined
| effort to enforce the Scott Act, and if they
fail, let it be wiped off the statute books, and no longer raise up in judgment against

It lies with temperance men to continve the work they have so nobly carried on for years, to achool the people—particularly the young— up to the pure principles of a life unspotted by drunkennss, to work hand and heart with the officers appointed to carry out any liquor law that may be in force, to become more earnest in their labor of love, to persevere in inculcating total abstinence, to instil into the genera- tions of to-day and of the future, the true worth and beauty of a temperate life. Much and _ lasting good has been done in the past, and more cau be accomplished in the future.
People, 4s a rule, are much more tem- perate than they were before the days of free schools and temperance societies, As they become more highly educated, they learn the cost and utter uselessness. of alcoholic liquors, and grow more temperate. Ignorance is giving way to knowledge, and consequently the men of to-day are more
temperate than their fathers were. These
principles being impressed upon the people by the life and teachings of true temperance men, will do more towards making this a province of total abstainers than a dozen such legal abortions as the Scott Act. Let all temperance leaders persevere in their noble and glorious work, and their efforts will be crowned with success, and their reward will be the the welcoming chorus of seraphs, when, winging their upward way heyond the starry skies, they see the mists and shadows and darkness of earth fade away.

the former change, and the victory they had ined; but in their zeal they went a step too far. It seemed too slow to schoo] the people up to sobriety. The now notorious Scott Act had been passed, and they were determined to give it a trial. It has been done, and the result has proved it a legis- lative abortion——a legal farce. The laxity with which it is enforced has produced a marvellous crop of wayside shanties.
The Scott Act is modelled after the Dun- kin Act, which was tried some years ago in Canada, and proved a failure. It simply says in effect—‘‘you may import all the liquor you choose, but you must not sell it.” What becomes of all the liqnor imported ! Perhaps it leaks away, or evaporates ; it disappears, anyhow. The radical reason of failure in the Scott Act is that it allows unlimited importations of liquor, placing direct temptation in the way of the people, and then forbidding them to yield to it. It goes to work in the wrong way. Instead of going at once to the fountain head, and regulating the importation of liquors, it be- gins away down the stream. You cannot stup ariver by damning it any where ex- cept at its head, neither can you stop the sale of liquor while the law does not limit its importation. ofa strictly prohibitory law in the near

We lingered in ecstacy with tho lovely night, and ‘‘busy quiet” scene and glorious majesty of our own grand gulf, and then turned homewards _ regretfully. Nature required rest, and the hour spoke of her sweet restorer.
Fishermen are preparing or are prepared for the mackerel season. Some of the boats are doing favorably, but as a general thing the catch is yet light, The lobster season being about to close, the canning of mackerel and other fish, has commenced.
Lately Souris has received a number of visitors on business or pleasure bent. Our hotels are kept fairly busy. Some Char- lottetown ladies are among the guests, and enjoy the village, and its pretty surreund- ings. Those too, who have but recently joined ‘‘heart and hand” for life, are among the rest. May their hearts always be joy- ous, and their lives giisten with happiness —honey without vinegar.
The Scott Act is a curious institution. Some get fined, and somedon’t. Some pay the fine or thoughtfully consider the matter, while others ‘‘bounce’” the whole arrange- ment. Well there is a time for all things under the sun—the good old bock says something like that—and of course people will keep on “watching and waiting,’ just to see whether the Scott Act, or a sherry cobbler, &c., &c., a dozen times over, tastes best. Certainly the growing senti- ment of the country is in favor of temper- jance. So matter which persons drink, cr what they drink, the time is approaching

I gave a hint once before about ‘a pest office building.” Some one else said —I forget whom—it was “a good idea,” and added, “if we had such a building with Custom House combined, it is just’what we want.” The officials are all that could be desired; there is not as much asthe buzz of a mosquito to say a word to the contrary; and Souris has quite an important amount of postal and customs business. It is to be hoped that Messrs. McIntyre and Mac- donald will go right ahead, pull together, and let ussee that Souris can obtain a desirable and necessary public building for the purposes indicated,
There was quite a crowd at the head of one offour wharfs a few nights ago. Some of the boys were trying to get off “jaw- breakers.” Sailors were there, and lands- men were there, Scholars from the various schools abounded. It was a bable of (innocent) confusion’ One gentleman got beyond his depth—in language—and was thusly corrected by a smiling youth of sweet sixteen, or thereabouts :—*‘In promulgat- ing your esoteric cogitations or articulating superficial sentimentalities and philosophie- cal~ or psyological observations _ be- ware of platitutdinous ponderosity. Let your ‘conversation possess a clarified conciseness, compacted com- prehensiblencss, ccalescent consistency, and a concatenated cogency. Eschew all conglomerations of flatlulent garrulity jejune babblement,and asinine affectatione. Let your extemporaneous degcantings and unpreaecitated expatiations have intel- ligibility and veracious vivacity, without thodomontade or thrasonical bombast. Sedulously avoid all polysyllabic profund- ity, pompous prolixity, psittaceous vacuity, ventriloquial verbosity, and volutive
rapidity, Shun dowble entendres, prurient jocosity, and pestiferous profanity, apparent or non-apparent.” I thonght at once, that boy never manufac-
tured such an eloquent harangue, but he ‘*did it” so well, it is just quite possible he is preparing for the next school examin- ation, or a position on the staff of the Herald. No matter which, the young ras- cal robbed me of my nest, until the dic- tionary was fully consulted. At any rate he created a profound sensation among the listening crowd, and one specimen of Yankeedom, six feet two in his stockings, in tones of surprise, somewhat energetically exclaimed ‘‘come along lads, | guess and calculate after that, we'll go aboard.” The *‘nasal twang’’—and vanished.

The ZVimes’ London letter says:—In a conference between Lord Granville and M. Waddington, the English Minister repeated Gladstone’s words in parliament to the effect that the occupation of Egypt was temporary only and exceptional. He added that the Government desires to assist DeLesseps in the construction of the second canal or to place the canal under an inter- national commission. M. Waddington rep- lied that his Government would not consent to the foregoing rights of the French com- pany or consent to an International: Com- mission. He stated that the Khedive would gladly grant a fresh concession, and desires to see English enterprise established in the work, believing it will bring much money into the country. The German Government has informed Lord Granville that it favors an International Commission and is opposed to the extension of DeLegseps’ monopoly.
