LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
-—.
The O’Brien Tour.
Sir,—Archbishop O’Brien, of Halifax, sent the following to William O’Brien :—
“IT express sympathy with you as a Chris- tian, and as a Canadian am humiliated at the vile blackguardism of Toronto's educated ruf- | fians, who, under Mayor Howland, are chiefly responsible.”
The above telegram, from the patriotic Archbishop, does honor to his heart and exhibits a courage in keeping with his con- victions. The educated ruffians of Toronto, under Mayor Howland, countenanced and supported by a personage in rank and dig- nity far superior to his Worship, and whose position is incomparably more permanent, would deny to William O’Brien—the noble and high-minded editor of Uiited Ireland —the right of free speech. To come to Canada to expose the iniquitous landlord system of Ireland, and to tell the Cana- dian people that Lord Lansdowne, the Goy- ernor General of Canada, is a living em- bodiment of all that is selfish and unjust in landlordism, is an act so audacious and insulting as not to be tolerated by the people of Toronto. We, who live in Prince Edward Island and have witnessed a few short years ago the evil doings of our own coterie of grinding and oppressive land- lords, know too well the sutferings of our brethern beyond the sea. Infinitely more grinding and oppressive has been the con- duct of Lord Lansdowne than that of any landlord that ever owned the soil of this Province. Read the accounts of the heart- rending deeds that were done’by the brutal agent of this Irish landlord when he evicted Kilbride and the other tenants on the Luggacurran estate. If you have a heart to feel, be not ashamed of the tear that will surely fall ere you have finished this tale of woe,
If William O’Brien would visit this Island he would see how the tillers of the soil of this Province have been made the owners of the soil. He would hear related from the lips of the poor tenants them- selves the story of their long and persistent struggle for the settlement of the land question, As a consequence of that settle- ment he would see a people enjoying the fruits of their labor, disturbed not by the whims of the landlord, caring not for rent day, dreading not eviction. Archbishop O’Brien, as a native of this Province, as an historical student of her agrarian troubles, as a lover of justice and as a hater of iniquity, as a repudiator of cant, hypo- eracy and sycophantic truckling, must ever be in sympathy with a movement having for its object the social and political eleva- tion of a people held for centuries in the iron grip of landlordism.

Horsemen, Attention!
Srr,—I might begin my remarks by lament- ing over the “‘good old times,” but think it better to believe that all times are good—if we make them so.
From what I read and see I draw the con- clusion that there must be in Charlottetown and Prince Edward Island, at present, a much more superior range of horseflesh as regards blood and breeding, than was here forty years ago.
Pian if so, to what cause shali we attribute the fact that a good days races is a thing of the past, and of the long past, and that it seems almost impossible to arrange for and hold a good race of any kind. By a good race 1 don’t mean, however, a scratch match be- tween two or three scrubs on the river Hills- borough, in the depth of winter ; but an old- fashioned race such as we used to have at Uptcn and% elsewhere. Among the different modes in which we intend celebrating Her Gracious Majesty’s Jubilee, what could be more suitable than a well conducted and ar- ranged days races at Upton Park, if it be in a fit condition.
I am sure that a very large number of our citizens would attend a well advertised race and make it a success in that respect. Al- though the sporting fraternity of this city can not be called exactly a society or an organiz- ation, still I think it behooves them to aid their fellows in this grand celebration, not to speak of the chance they will then get to show the mettle of their several trotters,and to show that they themselves can do more than simply talk.
Forty years ago the horsemen of Charlotte- town didn’t believe in breeding horses for the mere pleasure of talking and blowing about their abilities ; they believed in trying them in such a manner that they were always cer- tain to win—or lose.

necessurily cause considerable attention and outlay. It is well to note. that Sir Jobn’s Government does the full measure of duty in that respect. It is something worthy of attention too that the principal amouut of benefit we are receiving is through the influence of the ex-M. P’s whom the people did not choose at the last election. At least four thousand dollars have been placed in the estimates for the purpose of building cribwork on the seaside of the outer section of the breakwater, not one cent of which Robert- son and McIntyre obtained. Possibly, it would be better to ask Muttart and Mac- donald to get us Free Trade, a Subway and all the other fixings advocated and promised and all the rest of it, by circular, etc. ; but in that case they shuuld have the sessional allowance. It is too bad to have men at home doing the work, and two thousand dollars worth or so of ornaments at Ottawa. It is said that everybody stands the racket, but really in this case Souris can’t afford it, King’s County may grow tired of it, and Canada shouldn't pay it.
Somebody has been saying something or other about the steamer Beaver not being able to come into Souris on a recent trip, on account of the ice lying around. Wel), we have had ice to be sure ; dangerous ice to swimmers and bathers, but nothing very serious for steamers or dorys. Possibly Georgetown manufactured some of the ice, and the Captain being an easy going and gevial mortal, careful and discreet in the management of hjs vessel—no blame to him—was more seared by the rumors than the ice. It is to be hoped the Captain, whom we are all glad to see, will try the ice, and ‘the can rest assured that the Beaver is just as able to stand Souris ice,as the schooners and dorys which could have come through it easily enough on the day the Beaver passed by. The mischief of it is we must wait for another season to try the experiment.

Address.
Ar the last meeting of Ark of Safety Lodge, I. 0. G. T. at Bay Fortune, the following address was presented to L. HB. Needham on the eve of his departure from the Island :—
Dear and respected brother :—
As this will probably be the last meeting of this Lodge at which you will be present, at least for some time to come, we desire to express our deep feelings of regret at your departure.
Ve are all sensible of the fact that you have always had the interests of this ge. and of temperance in general, at heart, and that you have always s rivenloth by preecp) and example, to make this Lodge a credit and an honor to the great cause to which it is dedicated,
We feel with sorrow that your absence will cause a blank im our ranks which will not easily be filled, and that in our meetings here we will long miss your friendly and kindly counsel.
We feel confident, however, that your example, which reflects such credit on your- self and on this Lodge will not be lost sight of, but that it will be remembered and imitated by your fellow templars in this place.
In the social circle, also, we will miss a worthy member who was never obtrusive, but who always imparted to those with whom he associated a higher and more elevating con- ception of what constitutes,true nobleness of character.
Permit us to offer you our sincere thanks for the impartial way in which you have discharged the duties of deputy of this Lodge, and to express the assurance that wherever your future lot may be cast, you will always have the best wishes of the members of Ark of Safety Lodge.
Please convey to your parents our best wishes for their future health and prospergy, and may you long be spared to comfort their declining years with a son’s affection and ten- derness.
In conclusion, let us hope that we all may meet sometime in the future; that our re-
maining years may be bright and happy; that -
each one as it rolls by may leave us better, wiser, and more prepared for that other life in which “‘parting is unknown.” Submitted in F. H. and C. on behalf of the Lodge, W. H. Unpveruay, L. D., H. E. McEwen, Secretary.
REPLY. To the officers and memlers af Ark of Safety
Lodge.
Dear Brothers and Sisters:—
In reply to the kind words just spoken 1
feel that the task, though pleasant, is exceed- ingly difficult. The point of difficulty being this: That I scarcely know how to find words that will fitly and fully express how sincerely grateful I feel for this unexpected expression of your good will. Ever fresh in my mind will remain the memory of the many pleasant evenings spent in this Lodge room, since I first became a mem ber. '
It is an unspeakble blessing to be surrounded by trusting and trusted companions, and I hope that as the years come and go—though separated—I may always have a place in your good favor, and that these friendships may
quires to have these matters brought to his notice to have them properly attended to. Truth to tell, however, it is about time that Souris had all the accommodation she | wants in this respect. Less important | places have had their full share of atten-, tion, and here, right where the Govern-
ment has very necessary and valuable’ works, and the people expect that their
important local interests will be attended
to, neglect in any department is simply
played out.
In compliance with a petition seut to the Marine Department spar buoys will be placed in Souris West Harbor and painted in accordance with the orders of the De- partment, instead of the three barrel buoys | placed there formerly. This will insure, greater safety to vessels trading to the port, and be a decided improvement upon the, old system.
The breakwater looks as well as the seriousness of winter blasts and tainiature icebergs could possibly allow. Such works
long abide. I am glad to know that my hum- ble efforts to promote the interests of our order in this place has been appreciated by you. I hope the Lodge may long exist, and that each of its members — always be found at their post, battling bravely for the right.
Accept my thanks for thefkind manner in which you have expressed your good wishes for the future welfare of my parents. Though to them
The time of the year will be coming soon For the silent night and the snow,
Yet Lhope there may be many pleasant days in store for them and for us all.
And now dear brothers and sisters I hope sometime to meet you again on earth, but if not, may me meet, and be received by the king in his beauty, in the heavenly temple above.
