LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

_ -

Mr. Davies Answered.

Srr,—-Our esteemed friend, Daniel Davies, is vecy anxious at the present time, and takes up more thana half a column of Friday's Patriot to display his wonderful knowledge of the Murray Harbor District, and his very clever calculations as an engineer to try and make the inhabitants on the south side of the Hillsborough believe that a branch railway from Cardigan to Montague Bridge would be more benefit to them than a tunnel or subway across the river. Why doesnot Mr. Davies and the Hon. Mr. Laird advocate a branch railway from Souris to East Point, and tell the people of Rustico that it would be a great benefit to them.

It is very evident Mr. D. and his friend, Mr. Laird, in their opposition to the Govern- ment’s scheme to build the subway would, if they thought they could raise a howl against the present Government, advocate for a_rail- way to the lower regions.

There was a time when these worthies could have secured a branch railway to Bel- fast and East Point, but they did not put

forth any effort, and for that reason, amongst others, they are in the cool shades of private life, and as politicians dead, dead.

Temperance at Victoria.

Ar a general meeting of the inhabitants of Victoria, held at Brien’s Hall, on Tuesday, evening, 19th inst., for the purpose of taking into consideration ways and means to prevent the sale of intoxicating liquors, the following resolutions were unanunously adopted :—

Whereas, The illicit sale of intoxicating liquors is being carried on in our midst to an alarming extent, despite the various efforts made at different times to suppress it.

And Whereas, The inspector, who has been appointed by the Government, has neglected to take any acticn against violators of the Scott Act, at least so far as this locality is concerned.

And Whereas, This meeting is desirous of

lacing on record their disapproval of the said

nspector and of the present Government in not insisting upon said Inspector the enforcing of the Scott Act.

Therefore Resolved, Thet we, the under- signed, pledge ourselves incividually and col- lectively to endeavor by all lawful ways and means to suppress the illegal sale and trattic of intoxicating liquors in our community, as far as we possibly can, by appointing two committees—tirst, a prosecuting committee; secon@, a vigilance committee, to bring to justice all persons engaged in the illegal sale of intoxicating Liquors.

And Further Resolved, That such offenders shall receive no leniency at the hands of said committees, but will be dealt with and only as the law directs.

Enforcing the Scott Act in tario.

On-

The provincial secretary of Ontario has in- troduced a bill into the legislature for the better enforcement of the Scott Act. There having been a doubt as towhether the county councils were liable for the expense of enfore- ing the Canada Temperance Act in counties where it is in force, the first section of the bill provides that the share of the expenses of any license district to be paid by the county council shall be the same as heretofore deter- mined by the commissioners under the local license act. :

There is a remarkably small number of legalized places for the sale of liquor in On- tario. The annual report of the provincial secretary shows that in 1886, there were but 2.561 licences issued, or 669 less than in TS885. Shop licenses brought the total up to 3,177, a falling off of 820, as compared with the pre- vious year’s total. ihg and indicates a great decrease in the annual consumption of liquor by the people of that province. The Montreal Gazette remarks that any further curtailment of the nuinber of licenses will bring Ontaria very close to hibition.

Marshal Bazaine was assaulted on Sun day at Madrid bya Frenchman who at- tacked him with a poniard, exclaiming : ** J’ai venge ma patrie.” The Marshal was dangerously wounded about the head. His assailant is believed to be a correspondent for the Paris newspapers.

Six thousand persons from all parts of Europe attended the funeral at Cracow, recently, of Kroszewski, the Polish poet, who died at Geneva on March 20. Eight hun- dred wreaths were laid on the catafalque. At the Cathedral of St. Mary a requiem mass was celebrated. Black flags are dis- played throughout the city, the lamps are swathed in crape and dense crowds throng the streets.

The Transcript reports that the new fish market at Moncton is to be somewhat tony. It is to have a spray jet on the counter,and a patent freezer that will keep the stock away below zero al the time. A telephone is tu be is connection so that the hotels can order their fish ata moment’s notice and get them right out of the coldest place in Moncton. A wagon to take orders and deliver is also in connection.

Mr. Chisholm, M. P., of British Coluna- bia, who is largely interested in tae salmon packing industry, states that the demand is brisk and prospects for a large trade this season excellent. ‘The industry is one of the most important on the Pacific coast, the pack last year amounting to 965,404 cases Each case represents an average of ten fish. The distribution last year was 463,- 071 cases to the Eastern provinces and the United States, 364,600 to Great Britain and 70.774 to Australia and New Zealand. The fishing season begins this month on the Columbus und in July On the Fraser river.

Mr. Blake and the Leadership. Mr.

Blake’s latest circular to his follow- ers has been made public. It is as follows: * Toronto, March 28, 1887.

**My Dear Str,—I am sorry that time and strength do not allow of my replying separate- ly to the friends who have answered my secret letter of March 3. lam very grateful for the ; kindness of their words and have anxiously considered their views, I remain of the opinion that, for persoual reasons, my long-desired re- tirement 1s now not only justifiable from a per- sonal but also expedient from a party stand- point. These reasons | would here have sum- marized, but they are necessarily confidential, and it is better to avoid the possibility of the recurrence of the accident which, doubtless, jed to my former letter being made public. I therefore ask you to allow me to reserve what I can for personal conference, and this I do the more freely because, having regard to the strong opinions expressed, I see no alternative save to yield as far as possible to the final de- termination of my friends. I am sorry that the qualification is very considerable. My healch will not allow me either te prepare for or to discharge the work of the session as in former years. It has been suggested that the work should be largely done by a committee, I retaining a nominal lead. i believe this plan will be unsatisfactory as a make shift, while as a permanency it will be impossible. Yet it is the only possible alternative. 1 hope that on consideration you will agree that a new arrangement is preferable, but while I should be thankful for such a decision and while I feel doubly averse to a condition which must put the forbearance of my friends to still severer tests than before, I shall submit my- self for this session to the general judgment which may be reached. It seems te be the view that the sessions should be vigorously opened. ‘This requires previous preparation, and I earnestly hope you will be able to com- ply with my former request by reaching Ottawa early and ready for immediate action on all points open for attack.

I remain, sir, with regret for the trouble I have unavoidably caused.

Yours faithfully, EpWarp BLAKE,

Boston Markets.

April 16, 1887.

Porators.—-There has been a good demand for potatoes and the advance noticed last week is maintained. Houlton Rose and Hebrons command 70 te 75e,

Eccs.—There has been an easier tendency the past few days and prices have declined to 13c for Western and 134¢ po~ tvs for Teesvern. Markey closed with a steadier tone.

Fist.—There is a dull market for allZkinds ‘of pickied fish. Mackerel are held fairly isteady, but there is little or no demand for Such as are receivers’ hands. We quote Nova Scotia No 1] at $14, and extras at $15 to $17 iper bbi. No 2 are searce and held at $13 to

$14. Large No 3 are steadier at $8 to $8.50

‘per bbl. The receipts of mackerel for the week closing Friday were 487 bbls, of which 407 bbis were from the Provinces. | Imports from Provinces since January | foot up 14,226 , bbls against 9,625 bbls same time last year.

| The Dominion Penitentiaries.

The annual report of the Inspector of Peni- tentiaries, Mr. J. G. Moylan, shows that the total convict population of Canada on June 30th, 1886, was 1,200 as against 1,112 on June 30th, 1885, an increase in the year of 88. They are distributed as follows: Kirgston, 578, St. Vincent de Paul, 278, Dorchester, 149, Mani- toba, 90, and British Columbia, 105. The number of female convicts at the close of the year was forty-two, who, with one « xception, were confined at Kingston, and it is noted as a rather remarkable circumstance that no female has been yet convicted of a peniten- tiary offence in Manitoba or British Columbia. The inspector repeats the recommendations previously made, first that the indeterminate sentence which has been tested with so much advantage in parts of Europe and which is being introduced in the United States, receive consideration, and secondly, that the wardens be placed in a position to visit and examine into the reigme of a few, at least, of the best conducted prisons of the United States.

A Warning to Policy Holders. | Attention has been directed to the fact that Canadian policy holders in the National Life Insurance Company of the United States, , which has ceased to transact new business in the Dominion, frequently receive offers for a ‘surrender of their policies at sums far less than their real value. These holders should | resist all attempts to persuade them to a set- , tlement of this character. The Superintend- lent of Insurance states that the securities de- | posited with the Government by the company are ample to cover the risks and leave a sur- ‘plus, and a surrender at less than full value | of a policy is a wilful waste on the part of the | holder.

-- at + Louis Frechette, Canada's poet laureate, lsailed on the 16th inst. for France, where he intends to reside permanently.

A letter from Mr. Gladstone has been re- ceived in New York, in which the ex- Premier passes a high eulogy on Mr. Beecher.

Should the British occupy the island of Tortugas, the American Vice-Consul at 'Hayti has been ordered to protest against such action.

Italy, with England’s moral support, is preparing for a sharp campaign aga:nst ‘Abyssinia. An understanding between ‘England and Italy, with the moral assist- ‘ance of Germany and Austria, concerning all African affairs, is under discussion in | London. | The annua! report of the Grand Trunk Railway Company was issued on the 16th inst. It refers ina hopeful tone to the present position and the prospects of the company. The losses of the previous year have been wiped off, and the company 1s ‘free for the future to apply all profits \which may be realized to the payment of ‘dividends. The company is now im a stronger position than ever before, and bet- ter able to take advantage of such oppor- tunities as may occur for the increase of its facilitivs and the extension Uf its Vusiness.
