Free R. R. Passes, Htc.

To the Editor of the Examiner :

Sir,—Permit me through the valaable col- umns of your largely circulated journal to let the people know how the Superintendent of our Railway treats the travelling public, and how the Davies-Stewart clique are passed over the road free of charge. The Superintendent has proved himself ignorant of everything in connection with the running of a road; and now he has the presumption to follow Hon. J. C. Pope round, expecting to be retained in silice. But Mr. Pope and his friends remem- ber last summer how Mr. McKechnie adored Mr. MeKenzie and the ‘‘mixer and muddler of figares,’ and had special trains torun them over the road on Sunday morning; and when Hon. Dr. Tupper and Hon. James McDonald came here he treated them with contempt. But the best way for Mr. Pope to serve Mr. McKechnie is to use him as Paddy used the bear—to point to him the door and assist him out. Mr. McKechnie is like Mr. Davies, he is bound to hold on to oflice till he and his Grit concern is kicked out. If you go to Mr. McKechnie and ask him fora favor, he will ask you whois your backers, and unless you are a button-hole relation to a Davies, a Stewart, a Yco or a Beer, your favor cannot be grantel. [ have sat side by side with Louis Davies in a train coming from a shooting excursion from Marie and heard him tell the Couductor that be had a yearly pass from the Superintendent. Bat poor farmers that have to pay to build the road must pay the last cent fora ticket. Of course they are honor- ables and the sons of honorables, and they shall be passed free. But the time has come when Mr. McKechnie cannot cram all the offices full of Beers’ and Davies’, Last fall he built a costly office on the wharf in George- town, and placed his son there at a salary of $50 a month to report the Northern Light as she made her monthly trips from Pictou. But a few days ago the young man was out of em- ployment ; and lo and behold he squeezes him into the freight house to loaf with seven or eight more in an easy chair.

But the people of this little Island can soon be proud to learn that Mr. McKechnie and his organized hypovrisy will be kicked from office.

A Complaint.

To the Editor of the Examiner.

Srr,—The citizens of Charlottetown, and more especially those of Ward 5, have, at the present time, great reason for complaint at the manner in which our City authorities are con- ducting Civic affairs. Not long since the City Council very wisely dismissed the Victoria Park Keeper, Henry Curtis. The reason for so doing was based upon his refusal to perform the slight duty of ‘lighting the few oil-lamps which are placed on the Brighton Road for the convenience of the citizens, Mr. Curtis posi- tively refused to light those lamps. Hence his dismissal. In his stead was placed a man who, only too willingly, performed the duties which Curtis refused to perform; and the citizens residing in the vicinity of the Park had the gratification of seeing the lamps lighted while this new official was on duty.

But, Mr. Editor, this state of things was not destined to last long; for we see the Council again reinstated Curtis and shipped the new made official ;

and for this act they could assign no good reason. But, on inquiry, we find that Curtis had the upper hand of our City Fathers, and demanded from them one year’s salary, which, by so doing, would have rid the citizens of a useless and good-for-nothing burden. At present and from the time that Curtis was re- instated those lamps have not been lighted. And the Park Keeper, instead of attending to the duties which are assigned to him, and for which we the taxpayers are paying, is half cf his time lounging around a certain Brewery. And, Mr. Editor, our Park was, on Tuesday

iast, literally thronged with cows. We ask, where was our Park Keeper then’? Hoping

that our Civic authorities will look after this matter, I remain Yours, etc., Warp 5. Ch’town, Nov. 27, 1878. To the Editor of the Examiner:

S1r,—lI see to-day that a panoramic view or map of Charlottetown is being delivered. That it is an excellent work of art will, I be- lieve, be admitted by all who examined it. This is the estimate of

Yours, etc., A SURSCRIBER.

Peculiar Signs of Cold Weather.

_—

If signs don’t fail the coming winter will be the coldest experienced. in this latitude since the country was discovered by a man named Mr. Columbus. The squirrels are laying in their winter coal, the beavers are putting heaters in the basement of their lodges, the bees have killed off all the drones and lined their hives with sheet iron, the muskrats are flying south, wild ducks are committing suicide, the goose- bone is black sixteen inches deep. Western editors are soliciting wood, in exchange for subscriptions, poor families are buying an extra dog, and we have had a new collar put on our overeoat.—Norristuwn Herald.

The proprietor of the Pennsylvania Agri- cultural Works, York, writes to Suargeon- General Woodsworth that yellow fever this year cost the country about’ $175,000,0008 estimating from such data as he can obtain. He contributes $100 in aid of an official in-

vestigation of the cause of the fever.

Advertising.

-| Publicity is one of the great forces of

modern life, and a dead wall has fostered many a living reputation. Shirley Brooks, who died editor of ‘“‘ Punch,” and a gentle- man named Brouch, originally made their reputation by advertising themselves. They plarcaded London with the words ‘* Brooks and Brough.” The people having wonder- ed for three months who Brocks and Brough were, having bewildered their minds with queries respecting the alliter- ative names, were ready tcoread with avidity anything the said Brooks and Brough wrote and there was arun on the magazine con- taining the first article which appeared ac- credited with their names. To be sure if they had not had talents it would not have done them a great deal of service. But it called at ention to them, and that was enough. It is a cardinal principle with actors that no actor or actress, however great their talents, can succeed unless they are skilled in the art of puffing themselves; for we may as well call things by their right name. Mr. Toole was for many years ac- customed to take around with him little adhesive bills : **Toole, the Artful Doger.’ ‘* Toole in two pieces.” ‘“Toole, the greatest of ‘‘moderan comedians.” If he found himself in & railway carriage, or in almost any place that was not a private apartment in the most strict and stern meaning of the word, out came his advertisement, he licked the gummy side with his tongue, and ere he could be discovered by the gentleman or lady just about to relieve his solitude, it was stuck on and the new comer, never sus- . pecting that the great Toole was before them, and never dreaming that ne was his own trumpeter—we beg pardon, his own ad- vertiser—nay, more, lis own bill sticker, read: ‘‘Be sure and see Toole as the ‘Artful Dodger,’” and determined to see the comedian in that very serious and senti- mental part without surmising, without having the remotest hint, without being able in the most acute hour of scrutiny and happiest play of the faculty of analysis to guess what an artful dodger Toole in truth and in fact really was. In ordinary bust- ness the power of advertising is well under- stood and cannot be overrated. Stewart built up his immense fortune by means of judicicus advertisements in the New York papers. The Daily Telegraph owed its cir- culation as much to the persistent way it advertised in the other London papers as to the genius of George Augustus Sala. The business man who advertises vigorously always beats the man who thinks a little publicity goes a great way.

The Quebec Coup d’Etat.

At a large public meeting held in Three tivers, the Hon. Mr. Langevin made the following reference to the Coup d’Etat of the 2nd March last. We quote from Le Constitutionel : ‘‘ On the important subject of the Coup d’Etat of the 2nd March, and on the manner in which the Lieutenant- Governor should be treated, he said he was not aware of the intentions of the Govern- ment, and that, even if he knew them, he could not divulge them. During the last session, however, the Leader of the Govern- ment, Sir John A. McDonald, expressed his views at length on the subject, in a speech which had been admired on both sides of the ocean ; and it is probable that he still entertains the opinion he had then expressed. For himself (Mr. Langevin) he had also expressed his opinion at that time, and he had not up to this time seen any reason to change them.”

lt will be recalled that some time ago the Rey. J. R. Jones, lately incumbent ot Belleville, announced his retirement from the public ministry of the Church, on the ground that he had changed his views as to certain important tenets of the Chris- tian faith. Since then the rev. gentleman’s mind has undergone another change, and he has addressed a letter to the Bishop of Ontario, from which the following is a co- pious extract : ‘‘ Coming to Belleville two years ago, I found it a ‘ hot-bed’ of scepti- cism, especially among the !young men of the town. Determined to meet the sceptic on his own grounc, I purchased several In- fidel books end proceeded to post myself on their arguments. The result was the over- throw of my own faith. For the last few weeks I have been reading ‘ Law,’ as it was my intention to take up that profession ; but through the instrumentality of the Rev. Dr. Pearson, of Detroit, my doubts have been dispelled, and 1 have concluded (un- worthy as I now am) to seek an humble position in the Church I had forsaken, never again as a party man, but a simple ambassador for Christ. Your Lordship is at liberty to make any use of this letter that you may think proper, as I wish my rejection of the darkness of Infidelity to be as widely known as my late renunciation of Christianity.” The letter is dated from London, Ontario, November the 8th.
