THE DAILY KAAMBYIOR, CHARLOTTETOWN, JANUARY 13,1900

THE DAILY EXAMINER

OUR PUBLIC “ INATITUTIONS.”

Tne latest report of the Grand Jury is couched in moderate language. One has to know something of the facts,aad to reed between the lines to sppreciate the disgrace to the Province implied in the “ overcrowded condition ” of the Hospital for the Insane and the‘ necessity of im- mediately providing the additional accom-~ modation the “overcrowded sta‘e” of the peor bouse; the “clean con- dition” of the jail, etc. There is in these quotations from the Grand Jury’s report a world of suggestion.

We entertain the opinion tbat, with lock-ups in the principal towns, and rail-

required;”

way communication, one jail and one jeilor is enough for the whole province. The jail at Summerside, erected not long since, may be sufficiently large for all provincial But if not, a new jail ought to the Government

purposes. be erected where, with those cf the asylum and poer- heuse, all the inmates able to work,should be kept constantly employed under effi- cient surveillance and superintendenee. The saving that would thus be effected in the maiatenance of these institutions would,we believe, fully cover the interest of the cost of the new buildings needed.

Tne goverament has beeen shamefully recreant te its duty and the administration

NOTESAND COMMENTS.

— General Yule, who lateiy arrived in England in ill-health, states that the war will not last long.

—Mr. Arthur Mellish writes a lowg and interesting letter to hie parente, descriptive of thesrrival and reception of the contingent at Cape Town. We have room teday for only the coneluding para- graphs respecting the tripte De Aar.

—Some one in Ottawa has estimated that the cost of sending two Canadian Coutingents to South Africa will be million and a balf. If so, what wil] tt cost Great Britain to transport to South Africaa bundred theusand men with al! equipmente and eupplies, and maintain them in the field.

—Thbe Liberte, of Parie, publishes a leteer from Col. De Yill-bois Mareul, a very prominent French officer, in which he says that the Transvaal governmeat,by an official anmeuncement printed in the Volk: etem, reeognized that the honor of the Celeaso victery belenged to himself, he having as chief of etaft prepared the battle and being present thereat. It appears that Great Britain is fighting not only the brawn of the Dutch Republics, but the brains of the European armies.

—The death of the Duke of Westmin-~ ster will be felt by nearly every one around Baten Hall, as he knew personally many of the thousand men who worked for him. In spite of his wealth he was approachable and would givesn audience to a dtch digger if he thought the mas ought to have it. Allof his workmen were his tenants, aad en a portion of the ectate were up te date cottages, which they rent- ed. Each man was given ebough land for a garden patch and could raise enevgh vegetables to keep hia family well sup= plied. Toemcovrage floral and other de- eoration he offered prizes for the best flower bed, shade tree and rose bush. The result was that the eettlement of the work people is one of the sights of the place.

THERE'S LIFE IN THE ISLAND YET.

Sin,—It is verv pleasing to note, not- Withstamding the iucessant grumblinge of some of the old-timers, the everlasting cry that we are such a smal! commnnity, that we are 80 eptirely eut off from the markets of the world for » jarge part of the year— that there is life—business lite—in our Ie- land yet. The recent annual meeting of our Board of ‘Trade, The President’s re- port, the letter trom Mr. James Paton which appeared in ‘Tums ExaMINeR a few days ago, conclusively prove that the busi ness energy which many (hought was al- most entirely departed from cur midst is sullamongsius. And it is the opivion of your humble correepeudent that it would not take s great dea) to bring the business men of the Ieland to take advantage of some of the advantagee—from which they at present reeeive ve benefit—which lie belore them. They can have better winter communication than hey bave at present if they will put forth energy enough to get it. I believe that with a Jong, long pull, and a stropg, strong puil, and a pull altogether they could have the necessary arrangements made which would emable a good steamer to make two return trips a day between Cape Traverse and Tormen- tine almost the whole year round, What a difference that would make to the Island. Less thanan hour’s sail te or from the mainland would be a big attraction, espec- ially im stormy weather. We can have a direet steamer to England nine mopths in the year if we will but show the steam- boat companies thas we can provide eneugh freight, and show the Goverament — Liberal or Conservative—that we mean business and want a fair share of every~ thing that is going—direct steamer sub sidies included, We can have a direct steamer to Sydaey, C. B., if we will but shew that we can previde enough freight aud passengere to make it pay ;and we can, if we will. But wll we?

About a suramer hotel. Now is the time te get tegether and agitate this mat- ter. BS rely Jast season’stourist business laugat ue a smali lessos. Do you not thiak, Mr. Editor—do you not know, that it would not take a great deal of effort ex. ereised by the right man cr number of men to get enough capital subseribed to build an bete! that would be a credit te eur city, Whereis the man? If there 16 mOt someone On the Island ther is no donbt that it will not be lomg befo > some foreigner takes + way the chance and makes the money for bimaself that might be made and kept by lelanders. My idea would be to have a fairly large hotel, one that could be kept nearly full im the winter, with everything up to date, not On tuo expén- sive a scale, built on the Douse property. Then have a big hotel, | need nct be ex- pensively built, as is would ovly be used in the warm mostbs of summer, or very «xpensively fitted—erecited somewhere close to the barbor’s mouth on the Reck? Point eide aud have a comfortable launch te run between. Others may have, pro- bably have had, the same idea. Perbaps there are betier ones. Jhe prospect of a geod investment aad the bewefit that it wenld be te Charlottetown ought to make the ebtaining of subscriptions for stock an easy matter. Our temperance people especially weuld no doubt subscribe lih erally,

But there is another little matter—small in comparison with the question of & new hote], which the late president of the Board of Trade for anyene elee has as yet had little tosay. I refer to the formation of a joint atock penitry company. ‘There ie money im the busiaess Why shouldn’t ' Charlotretown have her share? The more farmers wecan bring ta Charlottetown and the oftemer we eam bring them in the better fer thetown in many ways. J have epoken to several persene and believe that six thousacd dollars would putacempany oa a geod basis. A good mavager would of course be the vriscipal need, Three er four acres of and would be eufficieat and a thousand dellars werth ef buildings would probably de to begin on. With a bustling manager the business would be a paying one. Fattenisg chickens, raising pure~bred stock to supply our farmers at reasonable rates, and exporting strictly fresh eggs would be the most importaat parts of the business.
