EXCITEMENT is at fever heat in Summerside over the telegrams re ceived last evening from Sir Louis Davies intimating that the Stanley
might be removed to the George town- Pictou route on account of an epidemic of smalipox which is said
to prevail at Cape Tormentine and Port Elgin.
From enquiries made here it is believed the smallpox scare is made the most of tc. cause the Minister to take the Stanley off the Summerside Tormentine route.
As a matter of fact there is only one case of smallpox within three miles of the Cape. There are others at Port Elgin But all are under controi and quarantined.
The Board of Trade induced Mayor Campbell and ex-Mayor Hunt t cross to Tormentine this morning
in the Stanley to fully investigate this and other difficulties that are said to be in the way of the Stanley continuing on the route.
These gentlemen may be de
pended upon tomake a truthful re-| port and to allow nothing to be
done that will imperil the lives of the people of the town or province,
if there should be danger.
Indignation does nut express the | public feeling evinced in regard to! Sir Louis’ telegram. The people here believe that Sir Louis was im- posed upon by opponents of the) Summerside route.

BOARD OF TRADE.
Resolution Smallpox.
A meeting of the,Council of the Charlottetown Board of Trade was held at their rooms this forenoon.
The meeting was called for the discussing Of the smallpox epidemic now in New Brunswick and the
danger to P. E. Island while the steamship Stanley is running be-
tween Cape Tormentine and Suam- merside.
The following resolution was pass- ed unanimously:
RESOLVED, that, in the opinion of this Board, the attentiou of the Premier, as chairman of the Pro- yincial Board of Health,be called to the necessity for immediate action being taken to prevent the intro- duction of smallpox into this pro- vince, and that every precaution be taken to quarantine the passengers arriving by the S.S. Stanley by the Cape Tormentine-Summerside route.
lt was meved by Mr. Rattenbury, seconded by Mr. Auld, that a com- mittee composed of. President Hughes, Vice President Longworth and H. Haszard wait upon the Pre- mier and present theaboye resolu- tion.

NOTES AND COMMENTS
Le JournnaL, Of Montreal. has is- sued an elaborate Christmas edition highly creditable to the publishers.
We are indebted to the Copp, Clarke Co., (limited) of Toronto, for the Canadian Almanac 1901. This is the best publication of the kind. The Canadian Almanac is full of im- portant imformation for Canadians —and the price is only 25 cents.

INCOME TAX.
Srr,—We are strongly of opinion that a blue book shouid be publish- ed giving the names of all partie: paying income tax and the amount they pay. dt is manifestly unjust to tax a part and to allowa part to go free. The man who conceals his money is in competition with the honest man who reports all his pro perty. ‘The dishonest money lender has an advantage of 4 per cent. over all others. This is abribe of 4 per cent. per annum upon the capital for all honest money-lenders to become dishonest or to sell out their business to the dishonest. Premier Farquharson appears to be more adept at grinding taxes out of poor people who have really no in- come over the bare necessities of living, than he is at looking after men who have invested capital. Me, who hire tugs to the Federal Guv- ernment at $25 per day should pay§a handsome inceme tax; and in} our humble opimion the new representa- tives ef the people should take this matter up and have included in eur public accounts the names and
e
amount of all income taxes collected in this Province—as it is, it is only favouring fraud and against the poor.

WINTER SERVICE.
One Who Knows and Tells the Truth About It.
Six,—The Patriot is finding much fault with Tak Examiner for com- plainimg about this year’s winter cominunication—and asking Tue EXAMINER to refer back to 1878. Now we will leave from 1878 or 1876 to 1883 out of the business, and

Of course he must have! been told strange stories about | these gentlemen. And what took place ?--appointed a Mr. Oliver | agent, a thorough gentleman, but | a tailor by trade, who keeps ashep, and lots of grit ship owners in Pictou who understand this sort of business, such as Ives, Dewar & Co. | Suppose John T.

Now is it any wonder that the| Minto takes so long a time to un- load and load at Pictou ? It is all | childish talk to say the}Minto can- not be unloaded and loaded in 2 or 3hours. Lotsof P. E.
