The Bridge and Railway.

Every true friend of the bridge over the Hillsborough, and every honest advocate of a railway to Belfast and Murray Harbor, these works must stand or

must see that

fall together. Even if the bridge were not

in itself of too general and expensive & nature to be undertaken at the expense of the Province, it is certain that it could not receive very strong support in the southern sections of Queen's and King’s Counties, unless railway communication with these places is embraced in the scheme.

A few days ago Tue Examiner pvinted out that the construction of the bridge and railway by the Federal Government could not be obtained while the Province sends to Parliament a “‘solid six” to oppose the policy in building and aiding The Patriot replies by quoting a speech made by Mr. Davies in the Commons,in March, in which that gentleman appeared to advocate a rail- way to Belfast and Murray Harbor. That speech will deceive no person. Mr. Davies is the strong supporter of a party whose declared policy is and has been opposition to railway construction by the Dominion We all heard Mr.

himself hoarse denouncing

i the Government

railway enterprises.

Government. have Davies what he called the bribing of constituencies by railway grants. The whole Grit press of the Dominion has made every member who has obtained a railway grant for his constituency the subject of special attack, the constituency as being “debauched.” The Patriot has taken a free hand in this kind of warfare. But, in the face of its record, it cooly asks that Mr. Davies be given credit for what every per- son must see is nothing but a mock ad [* the people want

and described

vocacy of a railway. railways they appear to take a strange way of getting them by supporting a party whose political stock in trade is denunci- atory of railway grants as bribes, and who profess be fearfully at the burden of debt incurred in building rail-

to alarmed

ways.

But there is another way of looking at Mr. Davies’ speech, on the railway to Bel- fast and Murray Harbor. {Here is what Mr. Davies says :—

‘*The hon. gentleman knows, for he has been in the Province, that the Island is divided in two parts by a large river, and that the portion lying soath of the river, embrac ing what is known as the Belfast and Murray Harbor district, comprising fifteen or sixteen townships, with a population one-fifth that of the whole Island, has no railway communi- cation whatever. It has been suggested by some surveyors that, for a very small cost, a smali feeder could be built, running from one of the stations on the road through these two districts of Belfast and Murray Harbor, touch- ing somewhere near the great village of Mon- tague, and going down from Belfast towards this Wood Island breakwater.”

Now, we ask, is not this a rather strange way of helping the Hillsborough Bridge ? Could any better plan be devised to put the Bridge out of the question forever? Sup- posing Mr. Davies is sincere in his ad- vocacy of the Railway,and the Grits are re- turned, and then carry out his views (all extremely improbable) the people of Lots 48, 49, 50 and the greater part of Lots 57 and 58 might bid good bye for ever to all chance of a bridge or railway. Again we say that the only hope of get- facilities lies in supporting the

ting these Liberal-Conservative Party, whose leaders are, on principle, favorable to the develop- ment of every part of the country by rail-

way enterprises.

At It Again.

Wiggins is out with another horrible pre- diction. He says that Italy may be shaken to its very centre by earthquakes the pre- sent summer. The earthquake in Armenia « few days ago was caused by the same force that shock up Queen Charlette Is- land. The planets were in nearly the same position in A, D. 76, when Pompeii was overwhelmed by ashes and lava from the crater of Vesuvius. Mr. Wiggins some time baek foretold a coming eruption of Vesuvius, and claims that the eruption at Mount Etna, which is so near Vesuvius, proves his explanation was correct, namely, that the earthquake force manifested at Queen Charlotte would pass eastward through the Mediterranean.

P. E. Island Hospital.

ANNUAL REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDING 297TH May 1890,

The Trustees are grateful for being in a position to report that the institution has been sustained another year through the benevolence of its numerous patrons in almost all parts of the Island, and thus under the good providence of God the Hospital has been to some extent enabled to carry out the good intentions and designs of its founders.

The damage and injuries sustained by the building and furniture from the fire of the Ist March 1890 have been thoroughly and substantially repaired, some alerations having at the same time been made in the kitchen and back hall. The building is thus very much improved, and is in all respects convenient and suitable. The re- pairs, alterations and replacing of furniture destroyed, cost the sum of $706.72 and the amount received for insurance indemnity was $704.88.

Through the kind liberality of one of the attending physicians, the Trustees have been enabled to build a good ice house at a cost of $70 contributed by this frend ; and about 20 loads of ice were laid in last winter, the free contribution of Mesars. Myrick & Co., and Messrs. A. White & Son.

The number of patients admitted during the year amounts to 107, of which 47 were operation cases. The number of outdoor patients for the year was 39, of whom 15 were Operative cases. The religious de- nominations were represented as follows: Presbyterian, 45; Methodist, 28; Epis- copal, 14 ; Baptist, 13 ; Roman Catholic, 6; Lutheran, 1. Total, 107.

Miss McDonald, the Matron, has fully maintained her good reputation for ability and diligence in the discharge of her duties. The Trustees very much regret to say that they have this day received a letter from her intimating her intention of resigning her situation on the llth of October next, and expressing deep gratitude for the kind- ness she has invariably received from the Trustees, adding her prayers and best wishes for the future prosperity of the Hospital. The assistant nurses and do- mestics have also given every satisfaction in the discharge of their duties.

The Secretary-Treasurer’s account now submitted shows a balance on hand of $163,54--a sum much less than our balance last year. The trustees beg to call the at- tention of all who take an interest in the institution to this fact. The paying pa- tients for the past year have been consider- ably less than one-half, ali the rest having been received and treated gratuitously, The institution has thus genuine and legitimate claums on the benevolence and charity of the public in the cities and in the country at large.

The trustees are grateful to the medical staff for their diligent and gratuitous at- tendance during the past year.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

__- Cl oC

A Day Behind the Fair.

Sir,—The cold weather which has _pre- vailed during the most of the month of May has undoubtedly retarded vegetation, and grass is making but little progress. The dry winds, have, however, brought the soil into guod condition for working, and the cold weather has enabled both men and herses to work longer hours and with greater results. A great part of the erop is already in the ground, and there is every prospect that it will be all put in in good time and in a satisfactery manner.

It is said that the ‘*‘ new blood” in our House of Assembly is beginning to consider the importance of having our lands tilled and duly seeded this season, and that, whatever may befall the less fortunate sec- tions of the Province, these gentlemen are determined that the interests of Belfast are nut to be forgotten. Itis, we understand, the intention of the ** new blood” to call a mass meeting of the inhabitants of this dis- trict about the middle of June, whereat the following resolution will be moved by Mr. H.C. McDonald and seconded by Mr. Frederick Peters :

Whereas, Gwing to the length and severit of the winter season in Prince Edward Island, an abundant supply of oats, wheat, barley, hay, potatoes and other produce, are absolu: owe necessary for the sustenance of man and

ast;

And whereas, It is desirable and necessary

that considerable quantities of the aforesaid produce should aiso bs available in the au- tumn, to be converted into money wherewith to purchase necessary articles of food and clothing which are not produced at home, and also to be expended in improying the dwellings of the people, and paying for religious and other institutions for themselves and their children : Therefore resolved, That in the opinion of this meeting, competent ploughmen should at once be emploved to prepare the fertile lands of Pownal, Uigg, Point Prim and Wood Islands for the reception of seed, and to pro- perly and judiciously manure the same, and that the gaid lands should be duly planted with roots or geeds suited to their condition and the needs of their owners.

nm

Now, as it is most desirable that the **new blood” should receive all the credit for the cultivation of the lands of the dis- tricts, and the judicious seeding of the same, 1 hope that no clodhopper will dare to suggest that this resolution requires amendment, and that the ‘‘tnew blood” are a little late in taking action. BYSTANDER.
