The Union Bank Ama!gamation.

Tue union of the Bank of Nova Scotia and the Union Bauk of P. E. Island, has been consummated, to the satistac- tion, apparently, of the shareholders of both institutions. How will the union effect the public of this Island? In a geveral way, we all know that-Bavks are not an uumixed blessing to acommunity. As a rule they two lavish with accommodation when business is boom- ing, and thus facilitate the operations of mere speculators and kite-flyers; but when times are tight and accommodation is really wanted to facilitate legitimate business, they decline to discount on any consideration. And the greater the number of the Banks, the more eompetition they have—the more likely is the rule to be applied. It is, for this reason, well that there is ove bank less in the community, and that the aumber of Bavks approximates more closely than heretofore to the business which can safe- ly and profitably be carried on here. There are, at least, two other ways iv which the amalgamation will benefit the public. The power of a certain class of influential men to eXtort undue accommodation from the Local Boards of Bask Directors will be di- minished, and the careful, laborious, prospering small trader will have a better chance to obtain the accommoda- tion he may require when jealous aud inimical large traders no longer exercise control at Board of Bank Directors.

There is, of course, a good deal to be said on the other side of the question. It would be unwise, we think, to allow outsiders to Lave a monopoly of the banking business of the Province; for outside interests more powerful than the interests of the Island may, at times, influence the policy they may adopt with reference to our people. We trust, therefore, that we will not be left wholly depeudent upon the Banks of Nova Scotia; but that the Merchants Bank of P. E. Island may continue to do business among us to the profit of its shareholders and the advantage of the community.

Ward Four Election.

As anticipated by Tue Examiner, the Civie Election in Ward four has resulted in the election of the candidate

of the majority in the City Coun- cil. The result was, no doubt, due to the personnel of the candidates.

This fact is pleasing and reassuring, inasmuch as it shows thac a majority of the electors have still some regard—how- ever sumal! —ior the character and diguity of the Couucil. Certainly the result ought not to be accepted as an endorsa- tion by Word four of all the acts of the Council as at preset constituted. It is rather, in our opinion, au evideuce of the willingness of the people to give tho-e who vow contro! civic affairs a fair trial to the end ot the year, and, at all events to withhold their support frem tbe oppo- sition until such time as they have adopt- ed a policy respecting the management of civic affairs worthy the support of intelli gent and progressive men. Their pro- gramme might include :—

1. The iutroduction of water works at the expense of a Company.

2. The re-organization of the Corpor- tion with a view to the saving of the ex- pense of mere administration.

4. The office of Mayor to be honorary; and the Mayor’s salary to be used for the benefit of the Fire Department or in the improvement of the plankways.

4. A special general levy for the amouut expended iu the maintenance of the public schools.

5. The abolition of “parties” in the Council; and the election of but one Councillor by each Ward.

6. And, generally, the equalization of taxation, the encouragement of manufactories, the promotion of public improvements calculated to make the City a more desirable place of residence ; —and so draw population, The larger our population and the more industries we have, the lighter the municipal burdens will be, aud thea more easily will they be bourne.

The Mxhibitions.

Now that the harvest is pretty well in, farmers are beginuing to think about what they have grown or raised worth takiug to the Exhibitions, It is pleasing to know that although the prize list doesn’t suit us, over a hundred eotries have been mude here for the Dominion and Centenuial Exhibition; and that the Island is likely to take rank in com- petition with the agricultural products of the other Provinces.

The County and Provincial Exhibitions are likely to be beiter than ever this year.

RAILWAY IMPROVEMENTS—EXHIBITION MAT-

rEKS, ETC. With increased facilities for travel- ling both by boat and rail, and correspond- ing comforts afforded those who" avail themselves of the same, the various avenues of travel are being largely patronized the present season by tourists and business ;. taen, andthe hotel propriétor have good | ) rejoice In consequence.

Sik,

reason t RAILWAY IMPROVEMENTS

‘in the vicinity of the Falls are progressing

rapidly. Here the screeching of the count- | less tug boats, the roar of the waters, and

‘the buzzing of the numerous saw mills, is

'augumented by the less destracting sound

of the pick and shovel. The visitor soon

| lvuarns that preparations are being made for

{spanning the River St. John at this point

| by the proposed Railway Suspension Bridge,

jand extension of the road connecting the |New Brunswick on the west with the Intercolonial on the eastern side of the river, thus forming an ‘unbroken liae of rail from the ditferent ‘trade centres in these Provinces to extreme western points, From the appearanve of the high perpendi- cular rock it would seem impossible to find a suitable foundation upon which to place the immense abutments and tower intended to support the cabies for the new structure, | but engineers in the present advanced age | are equal to overcoming ‘almost any difticul

ties in construction, and that which seems to the inexperienced eye an impossibility, is with them merely a matter of time and expense.

‘The connecting link with the PE. [sland Railway being supplied, by the Railway Ferry across the Straits, as pro- posed recently by some writers in THE EXAMINER, the benefits derivable therefrom by the farmers and shippers of produce, must be incaleulable, more particularly in the article of potatoes. It is not too much to hope that the latter undertaking will shortly follow the completion of the present one at the Falis. Among other railway improvements may be noted the extensive operations now in progress in the neighbor- heod of the St. John station. The old mill pond, once an eyesore to the denizens of that locality, has been transformed into the sight of several immense freight build- ings, all substantially built of brick, to- gether with the new passenger station buildings which are beginning to assume large proportions,

The interest manifested in’

EXHIBITION MATTERS

by all classes of citizens is steadily on the increase and may be expected to reach fever beat some considerable time previous to the opening day. The storekeepers in the principal portion of the city are actively engaged in completing arrangements for having their respective streets illuminated by the Electric Light during Exhibition week, and purpose having the burners so placed that the light will refleet from the centre of the street at equal distances apart. This alone will not be by*any means the teast of the many attractions afforded the thousands who contemplate a trip to St. John in October. The various trades are working with vigor to render their demon-. stration worthy of the occasion aud ‘to make it, if posible, more elaborate than that which took place in 1853 at the turn- ing of the first sod of the Enropéan and North American Railway so called. One difficulty only has arisen, as to which one should take precedence, the tailors claiming: the right owing to our first parents having been members of their craft. This difli- culty will no doubt be satisfactorily ar- ranged in due course. One interesting feature in this part of the celebraticn will be a living representation of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden.

The slight WAVE ON THE POLITICAL SEA,

caused by the recent’ elections in this country, has passed away, and the citizens are once more pursuing the ‘‘even tenor of their way.” An effort was made by those interested in the Loeal Government to render the contest a strictly party one, but the candidates being somewhat mixed as to political creeds, and standing on various platforms, the result of their-efforts is some- what doubtful.

THE MARKETS

keep well supplied witl: every description of meats and products of the farin and dairy. Fresh fish being only in limited supply, and butter, owing tocontinueddry weathér preventing a sufticiegt growth’ of aftergrass, remains firm in prices with prospects of an advance in the near future. The country market, especially on Saturday evenings, presents a scene of animation familiar to those living in such large centres a8 Boston or New York. ‘The contrast in the appear- ance of the women from the country districts having produce to dispose of, and those who frequent the Charlottetown market for the me purpose, is strongly remarked by any one who has visited the latter place and noticed the neat and tidy appearance there presented by the farmers’ wives and daughters. The facilities for speedy and frequent shipments to the adjoining mar- kets keep up the priee of eggs and other

cents. A placard in the window of a’ grain store informs the would-be purchaser that P. E. Island oats are selling at 50 cents per bushel Of course there is so little due this early in the season that wholesale quotations for grain and other prodnge would be merely nominal. September the first having caused the sleepy oyster to rise from its muddy bed on the shores of Bedeque and Richmond Bay, the lovera of this delicious bivalve are once more happy.

AN EXODUS

which will, no doubt, ba shortly recorded by the Press, and which may be termed an ecclesiastical exedus, has now beyan. Clergymen from the various Episcopal! churches thronghout the Province are about leaving for Montres], to attend the Provincial Synod of the Church of England, which assembles in that city in a few days; ‘and St. John church'goers are being min- istered to by pastors from Oanada and other places. It is to be hoped that the Truth, failing from the lips of strangers, may have, whatie much required, a good | off -ct.

The Sun of « late Gate contains an ex- ‘tract from aletter written by A. McNeill ,to a friend in this city, by which ir is

Notes From Hast Point.

Harvesting has fairly commenced and our farmers are busily engaged cutting «nd saving their abundant crops, the oats is an extra crop, and wheat is excellant. Al- though the harvest is some three weeks later than in more western sections of the country, it is not inferior in either quality or quantity. Potatoes are. an abundant crop

The tishing has been a very profitable business up to the present, and large quam tities of mackerel have been taken all along our coast. Stewart Bros., at Red Point, have dove remarkably weil, and many others who make a business of hooking the scaley swimmers. Stewart Bros. have caught as MA&my as seven thousand mackerel in one day. They also report hake very plentiful, rae

The Baptist Congregation of South Lake are building a new meeting house, which will be completed outside in a few,days, it is situated upon a beautiful site, and from its commanding position presents a very fine appearance from the main road or froin the ses. The building is gothic in style, with square tower forty feet and octagonal spire thirty feet, surmounted by a neat weather vane which very acurately indicates the direction of ‘the wind. Altogether it promises to be one of the handsomest build- ings in the Pfovince and reflects great credit on the builder, who, by the way, designed the building also. We trust it will be a lasting monument to the liberality of ‘the people, and within its walls may the Gospel be expounded aright, and may many souls be awakened to.a just sense of the responsi- bility they owe to God and man.

The “Summerside.”

A correspondent says:-—‘‘I had the pleas- ure of crossing, on Monday, to Pictou, in the new steamer ‘‘Summerside.” The weather was stormy, and there was a very high sea running; but she behaved remark- ably well and made first-rate time, reach- ing Picteu in four and a_ half hours. Returning in her again on Wednesday, she accomplished the passage in four hours and twenty minutes, At times she developed a speed of eleven knots an hour, and I have no hesitation in saying that there are very few screw steamers of her size aflcat that can steam faster than her. I hear the Navigation Company purpose building extra passenger accommodation, which, when done, will make her all that can be desired both as a passenger aud freight steamer.”

Wonderful Escape.

A tipsey man had a wonderful escape on the rail yesterday. He was lying, or sit- ting, or reclining, half asleep on the track between Port Hill and Wellington, when the express train from Tignish, (Conductor Kelly), ran into him and threw him into the ditch, Everyone said he was dead. But he wasn't _He was only “hurt a little.”’

Fullerton Marsh Bridge.

The Herald announces the completion of the Fullerton Marsh Bridge and says:— ‘'This bridge was spoken of for years, and doubtless would even yet be away in the womb of the future had not the Hon, Donald Ferguson exerted himself and made such representations as led to its construc- tion. The people of Lot 48 can aow boast of having one of the best, and at the same time the cheapest bridge in the country.”
