OCTOBER 28, 1883.
A Question Answered.
A coRREsPoNDENT wishes to know how it is that persons who have not paid their taxes can be gazetted as “default- ers,” seeing that the year for which the tax is levied is not yet closed. In reply we may state that the law (43rd Vic. Cap 15,Sec.29)provides that all taxes are due to the city ten days after the notices of them have been served, Being due, those who do not pay them are by the law called ‘defaulters,’ and are so gazetted.
Whether or not the gazetting of such “defaulters” is right or expedient? is another question. We presume it is done in order that the whole body cor- porate may know who amoog its mem- bers are unable to bear or try to shirk the burdens iucident to life in Charlotte- town. Bautthis object would be better obtained if the publication were in one or both of the daily newspapers instead of the Gazette.

What About Anvexation ?
A conrEsponpent of the New York Times has been travelling in Oregon and British Columbia, aud thus writes from Victoria :—
‘Inquiry among the citizens has devel- oped almost no sentiment in favor of an- nexation to the United States, The fact is that no Anglo-Saxon (possibly no civilized man) changes his nationality readily, al- though we sometimes talk lightly of annex- ing the territory of our neighbors with their consent. The people of Victoria have a stable and honest Government, a delightful abode, and possibilities in the future. They feel that their Island will be of inestimable value to the Imperial Gov- ernment, as their naval station is of prime importance in the maintenance of British naval strength in the Pacific Ocean. The certain prospect of the completion of the Canada Pacific Railroad, an event now fixed for 1886, also serves to knit the pecple of British Columbia more closely to the Do- minion, of which it forms an integral part.

Cable Telegraphy.
Several prominent business men of New York City, principally from among the membership of the Produce, Cotton and Stock Exchanges, have associated themselves into a company to lay addi- tional telegraph cables between the United States and Eugland, The chief object is to meet the requirements of commercial business, and te this end the cables are to make as direct connection as possible between New York and Liverpool, The western terminus has already been fixed at a point only a few miles from New York. The rates for business will be about half those now charged, and guarantees against amalga- mation or pooling will be provided. The President of the new organization is Thomas L. James, ex-Positmaster Gener- al, and among the Directors are David H. Bingham, E. R. Liver- more, John H. Hebbert, A. D. Straus, John F. Plummer, E. A. Quintard, W. H, Guion, of Williams & Guion, and A. H. Rice, ex-Govervor of Massachusetts. late General Ageut of the New York Associated Press, will be Secretary. Nearly all the money is assured, it is said, and contracts are in negotiation for the cables of a new type, at once, cheaper and better than any heretofore manufac- tured.

The Lang via Banquet.
FoUR HUNDRED AND FiFrTY gentlemen— many of them distinguished—attended the banquet at Windsor Hotel, Montreal, on Thursday evening, in honor of Sir Hector Langevin. In the course of his reply to the toast of the evening, Sir Hector said,—
‘In consequence of the fiscal policy the Government had adopted our credit abroad had revived, our own population were afforded a means of subsistence, and a suffi- cient revenue was provided to carrf on the great public works needed by the constant growth of the country. For the last three or four years instead of deficits we have had surpluses, and during the year just finished the surplus of revenue over expenses was more than $7,750,000. (Loud cheers.) This money did not go into the pockets of Ministers, but had been mostly expended in making public improvements through- out this vast country. The Govern- ment had thought better to use these large surpluses in paying for the construction of the C. P. R. instead of leaving che pay- ment of that road to bea burden on a future generation. (Hear, hear.) In this way they were rapidly building up on this continent a great monarchy modelled upon that of Great Britain. This great railway also furnished us the meaius of attracting hither a large immigration. The Govern- ment hed made special efforts to bring im- migrants from Great Britain, France, Ger- many, and Scandinavia, but their duty would be bot half done if they forgot that
ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE LINE
Mr. J. C. Hueston, |
there were many thousands of our fellow countrymen anxious to return to Canada, and it was with the greatest pleasure he was able to say to-night that the Govern- ment intended to take energetic measures to bring back to Canada all countrymen on | the other side who were desirous of return- ing. (Loud cheers.) Those present would understand that at a banquet like this he could scarcely be expected to reveal in de- taila ministerial measure that would be presented next session, but in any case he could assure them that oor countrymen in the United States, whether of French, En: ush, or any other origin, were not for- go-ren, and all that conld be dune for them | would be performed. (Loud ch ers. ) The | The result of all tlese great measures was | to-day that we had

we had to pay seven to eight per cent. in- terest on foreign loans, to-day capitalists were anxious to txke our bonds at four per cent.—(applause) -and he was convinced that the time was not far distant when we would get all the money we needed at three or three and a half per cent. (Cheers. ) During the last session of Parliament on the suggestion of the Finance Minister a mea- sure was passed sanctioning a considerable REDUCTION IN THE TAXES
of the country, and the effect had already been a diminution of at least two million dollars in the burdens of the people. (Cheers.) If he looked at Montreal he found its population had increased from 107,000 to 140,000, or about 31 per cert., but owing to the fostering influence of the National Policy the industries of Montreal had increased from 1,100 establishments to 1,763 in the same period, or an increase of 60 per cent. (Cheers.) The number of employes had been increased by 66 per cent., and the amount of wages paid to workmen had increased from five million dollars in 1871 to nine and one-half million in 1881. (Cheers.) This was suflicient answer to those who said that the National Policy had only served to enrich a few manufacturers at the expense of the work- ingmen. (Hear, hear.) The present Do- minion Government knew no province, no nationality, nocreed. Its motto was
EQUAL JUSTICE TO ALL.
He wished very formally to declare that the Province of Quebec and its citizens, be they French, Canadian, English, Irish, or Scotch, were no obstacle to the progress of the other provinces. (Loud cheers.) To whatever nationality we belonged we de- manded our rights, privileges, and liberties, but we demand them equally for all other provinces as well. (Hear, hear.) We claimed the integrity of our territory and we also claimed the integrity of the other provinces. We did not ask for our pro- vince a single inch of territory that did not belong to us, and we demanded that our sister provinces adjoining us should not have an inch of territory either that did not belong to them. (Loud cheers.) But on the other hand if there was an inch of territory that belonged to us and we did not possess, we should take measures to ob- tain it, and if any territory belonged to any of the other provinces which they did not now possess, we should endeavor by our votes and our influence to have that terri- tory annexed tothe province to which it belonged. (Loud cheers.) He desired to make this declaration to night, because he saw before him representatives from almost every county in Quebec, and he asked if this was their opinion, if this was their de- sire, if this was their conviction.” (Loud applause. )

A Would-be Suicide.
Early on Saturday morning last one Elizabeth Farraher, a domestic employed in the family of Mr. Fred. Tapley, Douglas Road, Portland, N. B., attempted suicide by cutting her throat with a carving knife. For some days previous to making the attempt on her life Mrs. Farraher had com- plained of failing health, and showed some signs of derangement of the mind, and on the morning in question Mr. Tapley, at her request, procured a permit for her admis- zion to the hospital from Dr. Walker. Returning home with the permit and a hack for the conveyance of the unfortunate woman, he was shocked, on entering the house, to find her hacking her throat with a carving knife. He wrested the knife from her hands, and, with some assistance, succeeded in placing her in the hack that was standing at the door, when she was at onee driven to the police station, where the ragged cut in her throat was sown up by Drs. Gaynor and Woodford, who happened to be passing at the time, and she was then conveyed tothe hospital where she now lies. It is not thought likely she will recover.
