Notes and Comments,

of

—The prevalence drunkenness in Russia is said to have become so great as to at'ract the attention of all Europe. In

Odessa alone duriug the past year 300 deaths have been directly due to the use of intoxicants. The government refuses to do anything towards checking the evil for fear of losing the revenue from the manufacture and sale of alcuhvolic liquors.

— The New York Herald has been to the trouble of obtaining the views of a num- ber of public men on the future of Canada. ** Naturally,” says the Colonies and India, **the views expressed are somewhat diverg- ent, for the simple reason that people known to posse3s certain opinions have been approached, but, altogether, the feeling in Canada seems to be in favour of the main- tenance «f the status quo. Most of the people are satisfied with Canada as she iz, with the work she has done, and with the future that opens up along the path she is now travelling. The existing form of Gov- ernment gives satisfaction at present; it has given every satisfaction in the past ; and there is, decidedly, no cause whatever why this satisfaction shovld cease, or why

it should not extead indefinitely intd the fuvure.

the House.

the whole of next week to send you a careful summary Budget Speech for my regular letter. Delegations are numerous upon every con- ceivable project ,and the Ministers are haunted from morning till night. How they tind time to open or read their letters { do not know. At 3.30 p. m. the other day I heard the Minister of Finance remark that he had not been able to open a letter that day. He was’ then going into the House and would have no opportunity of looking at correspondence until 6 p. m. Following close on Messrs, McLeod and Ferguson came Mr. Richard Hunt, Chair- man of Summerside Corporation, specially deputed to interview the Government on the subject of improved steam com- munication with the mainland, In con- versation with him this morning I learned that he is well satisfied with the progress of his mission so far. Whether new and faster steamers are put on or not, the Government are determined that close connections must be made at Shediac, and that after the mails are on board the steamer, she must not wait for freight. Mr. Hunt has taken advantage of his visit to press the matters of urgency. He waited upon the Minister of Public Works in cen- nection with the Summerside breakwater (which he had already announced this session would not be undertaken upon the score of expense) and obtained from him the assurance that he would recommend the construction of the breakwater on the suuth side of the harbor. The removal of the Summerside Railway Station he dis- cussed with the Department, and the matter is now under consideration of the Minister with excellent prospects of success. From the Minister of Marine he obtained an order for the erection of the most improved style of Fog Horn at Summerside i'Light House. Since Mr. Hunt's arrival he received a letter from the principal ship- |pers at Malpeque stating that the new ‘range lights on Darnley Point are lighted | by old lanterns and generally do not fill the ‘bill. Upon Mr. Hunt’s representation the | Minister of Marine has given an order that ltwo powerful new lights be sent from Quebec in the spring to supersede the old ones. I have just written this to catch the | mail and have no time for more.

W. C. D,

Letter from “Electeur.”

Srr,—Ilt would seem that the information furnished in my last letter, which ‘‘Grit” asked for with such a flourish, has had the effect of completely silencing him. Not to be outdone, however, this gentleman has enlisted the services of another, whose position in the community, he thinks, wiil have the effect of overawing an adversary, to take up the defence for him, which he does in the Farmer of the 20th inst., in a loud-sounding effusion flavored with—to say the least—nvut very endearing epithets ,and to which he attaches his name and title. Now, at the outset, I may say that it is not my intention to follow in the wake of the Farmer's correspondent, by applying apy harsh terms to my udversary. In fact, as intimated in my last, it was not my in- tention to trouble you any more ; but lest my silence should be misinterpreted, in justice to myself, | am forced to appear again. What Isaid about the despicable use cf clerical influence on the Smith and Centre Line Roads, | now reiterate and defy successful contradiction. For verifi- cation of my statement, as I said before, let anyone interested take @ drive through the districts named, where they can ascertain the truth for them- selves. With all due deference to Father Picotte, I am inclined to think that with his political reputation, past and present, the public wil want something better than his ** you’re-a-liar” argument before they will be willing to look upon him as the in- jured innocent in this matter that he would have them believe himtobe. Why, Mr. Editor, no stronger proof of his partisanship is re- quired than a perusal of his own letter, wherein, after prefatory remarks, which would have been better left unwritten, he exults at the people having placed their confidence in _ representatives of such ‘sterling worth.” I regret that I cannot juin in his exulta- tion. For from the redoubtable Stanislaus, whose rising in the House of Commons is the signal for a general clearance, and who, in his attacks on the Government, never gets above the duty on a three-pronged fork, or {some such trifling matter, and Mr. James Yeo, who possesses at least one qualification over his nvisy colleagues, viz : that he is like the proverbial chip in porridge, down to our two local beauties, whose capabilities for nothingness are so well-known that any adverse criticisms would be like pouring water on drowned racs, they are 4 sorry lot, and their every movement a humiliation to the people whom they mis-represent. In conclusion iet us hope that the day is not far distant, when the electorate will be able to shake off the thraldom by which they are now en- slaved, and awake to a sense of their duty. Then we may hope to purge ourselves from the contempt which we have engendered by returning such so-called representatives; and ‘may the phrases ** per fas et nefas” or ‘“‘cum manu forte” never again be appli- cable to the electioneering methods of the gentleman who has seen fit to criticise me so severely. Thanking you for space, I re- main, etc.,
