_ ——

Cape Traverse Meeting.

Hrraam Treeman, Esq., scored a good point im his reference to the propesal to make the cenals free. Millious of public mouey have been expended upon the

canals ; the tolls at preseut levied go to}

make up the interest of this public mouey ; abolieh the tolls and you and I, and everyone of us, have every year to assist {1 makiog up the whole amount of the iatsrest; but we, living here out of the ws, receive co direct advantage whatever irom the canals; a correspond- ing advantage should, therefore, in justice, be given to us; and our repre- sentatives should not consent to freeing the canals until the improved com- munic¢ations we require are guaranteed or secured,

—Senator Howlan made a convincing speech. vigorous and persuasive as ever; and he evidently made a decided impression on the meeting.

—Mr Brecken showed clearly how diffi- cult it was to hasten the undertaking which the Government have taken ip haod; and what an importan? point had been yzaioed for Cape Traverse ir the recognition of the Capes route by Par-

liament, and the vote of $189,000 to con- |

struct the brauch railway. That is, indeed, the great point, That point

settled, we may rest assured that prac- |

tical improvement is not far distant, Once the brauch railways are secured the harbors musi be made, the steamer myst be put on, the facilities for winter crossing must be improved; and it is

possible that the railway ferry scheme, |

proposed by Mr. Coombs, and advocated by Dr. Jenkins, may one day be feasible, or the tunnel eveu, may be among the possibilities of the future. In obtaining the authorization of Parliament to the construction of the branch railway, Mr. Brecken and his colleagues have done a most important, aud a most difficult, public service.

—Dr. Jenkins brought to the notice of the meeting the railway ferry scheme. It is a pretty scheme. But some years must necessarily pass away before it can be perfected; aud the practical men about Cape Traverse, and other men with whom we have conversed, seem to think that we had better cow confive our atiention to what is practicable now. We think it would be a mistake to allow our-

selves to be diverted from the pressing | work immediately before us by schemes |

and theories, however fine.

—Little fault could be found with the speech of Mr. Davies, M.P. That he would make every point that could possibly be made against the present Administration was to be expected ; and we rather admired the smooth way io which he contrived to do so, while pro- testing his complete agreement with the rule that party politics should, in this im- _ matter, be eschewed. Of course

. Davies forgot to say that if the Opposition had their way, the Cape Traverse Braach Railway would not bave been recognized by Parliament at all. By the mouth of their exponent in this matter (Mr. Mackenzie) the Oppasi- tion eutered a protest’ against the Cape Traverse Braneh Railway ; as the follow- ing quotations from the Parliamentary reports will show :

Mr. Mackenzie—*‘ I differ wholly from my hon, friend beside me. I think the Govern- Ment should build no branches if they can get other people to build them. It was the policy

of the late Government to get rid of all the branches as soon as possible.”

Mr. .Mackenzie—‘‘1 think we have done very well by the Island, and we have carried out the terms of Union to the utmost possible extent.”

While we agree with Mr. Davies, that Party Politics should not be dragged into this discussion, the fact apparent in the above quotation should not be forgotten — least by the people of Cape Traverse. The present Government may, perhaps, delay the Cape Traverse Branch Rail- way; the men who compose the present Opposition would not have it built by Government at all. That’s the difference between the two Parties.

—A rude attempt was made to cen- sure the Hon. Wm, Campbell. It wasn’t successful. The resolution embodying the censure was thrown out by an unani- mous vote. ,

A

Management of Our Meat-Making Animals.

The object to be obtained is early ma- turity, at such cost as will leave a margin for profit. No young animal intended for meat-making should ever be allowed to lose the fat produced by its mother’s milk, ex- cept im cases of young cattle to be fed upon the poor natura) grasses, only suitable for feeding store stock ; and therefore it is not only essential that artificial food should - liberally oe, = ~ that a succession of green crops should be ao arranged that no check to a continuous progress should be risked, as all practical men are aware of the difficulty of replacing the loss consequent upon even a tem:- porary falling away in condition. © After the process of weaning, which is usually acoomplished during a flush of loxurions after-maths, the feeder’s ckill must be fully exercised tv ensure that early maturity so much desired. No doubt change of pastur- age is very cond ative to the health and progress of sheep in all agés, but a change

of food is even more beneficial, particularly | G

coring the wonths of September and October, & period during which, under ordinary management, more meat is not

u uently loss than is gained during the’ peter wen.” teh

| CORRESPONDENCE,

| Communication with the Mainland T'o the Editor of the Araminer. Srrn,—In my last anent improved steam | communication with the Mainland, | pro- posed in this letter to point out some of the ladvantages of continuovs communication |via the Capes route. The shipper ef—say ta carload of potatoes, at for instance | Hunter River could put up a carload, say 300 bushels in bulk, saving cost of bags and labor, 120 bags at 12 cts., $14.40, fill- ing and sewing the same, $1.80, total $16.20. Starting this car on the mornivg train it would reach the Capes at ‘ a.in., Allow an hour for crossing, and an hour for discharging at Tormentine, this car at 1l p.m, could be attached to the train steaming off for St. John, where it would ibe due same night. With ordinary dis- patch, it would be on the road to Boston via. the St. John River Railroad Bridge, a |tuunel, the following morning; where it i would be due the next morning, or im just i two days from the Island. Having had no frough usage on the road, the tubers could, }and would, arrive in good order. It is not | generally known that quite a large propor- |tion of the shipments of Island potatoes |after passing through the hands of several [middle men, are shipped both over the | Eastern and outer railroads to points nearer this Island than Boston, and there is nothing to prevent (if we had continuous rail connec- | tion) our shipping direct to the small towns | from Portland to Boston ; say, for instance, Lynn, Gloucester, Salem, and other manu- |facturing and fishing centres. The prices j|are generally higher than in Boston, often ;to the extent of ten to twenty cents per bushel. The same rule applies to ship- ments by rail to Providence, Fall River. | New Bedford and to New York, For ship- ;}ments of perishable produce, when at all | practicable, railroad transit is by odds the }safest course. Hundreds of thousands of | dollars have been lost to this Island through adhering to the old and risky course of \shipping potatoes by sailing vessels. 1 | hold, and have held for years, that by rail |or steamer, is the only safe way to ship |1 omitted any reference to the advantages ‘of the Capes route for passenger traftic. | In fact they are so apparent that argument |is unnecessary. | The markets of Montreal and Ottawa |} are supplied with fresh fish from Portland. | With continuous commuuication via the | Capes, it would be comparatively easy for | our Island fishermen to supply these cities ; with fresh fish. I have seen large quan- , tities of fresh fish in the summer time | shipped from Boston to Western cities. I }was told that fresh fish was sent as far | west as Chicago, with ice and refrigerator cars. There is nothing to prevent our supplying the fresh fish required as far west as Toronto. Apvlogising for trespassing so | far on your space, | remain, Yours respectfully,

Henry Coomss.

The Dog Tax.

| | To the Editor of the Examiner. | $ir,—In your last issue I am called on 'by a person signing himself ‘‘One of the | Forty-Eight,” to state why the Dog Tax has not been generally collected last year. f the writer will favor me with his name and address, | will send him a copy of the Bye Law on the subject, by which he will find that I am not personally the Public Prosecutor, and if he reflects he will doubt- less also perceive that the duties of Clerk of the Ceurt and that of a Public Pro- secutor are incompatible. However, for the information of the public as well as for | that of the before mentioned writer I may state that the chief reason why the amount of Tax collected for the past year has fallen off, as the general unwillingness to pay donble the amountof the tax imposed in former years, and which is to be enforced by a fine of not less than four dollars and costs. Many people have either destroyed their dogs or sent them away, not being able to afford to pay the increased tax (myself among the number being the worst paid official in this Province.) It has also been found that a large number of pro- secutions invariably result in very few con- victions, the ownership of dogs being generally disputed and difficult to prove. Many people meet me on the street and ask me why |] donot prosecute certain of their neighbors for non-payment of the |tax. I reply, certainly, if you will provide the necessary evidence to convict such persons, invariably decline the honor.

In conclusion | may also observe that when some of the makers of the law neglect to comply with its provisions, other people are likely to do the same.

Your obedient servant, ALFRED Fraser ToMLins, Clerk of the City Courts, Charlottetown, Jan. 19th, 1883.

Civic ‘i'axation.

Ty the Editor of the Examiner.

Siz,--It has been pretty generally re- ported, and is now believed, that Mr. Douse and others, if elected, will vote in favor of an income tax, and also take the real estate tax off the landlord and place it on the tenant, and will also impose the personal property tax, which, as the law now stands, includes goods of all kinds, household furniture; also stocks or shares in joint stock companies, as well as ships, money in the banks on deposit, notes of hand; in fact everything that is included under the term personal property.

As there are two sides to every question, { wonld like to know what Mr. Murphy’s views are on this mode of taxation.

{ also think that Mr. Murphy has as much right te answer these questions as Mr. Douse or Mr. Tanton.

Yours, Wagp 2.

THE DAILY HXAMINER.,

CURRENT NOTES.

Lord Kimberley’s policy in South Africa causes great anxiety. It is possible that Lord Derby may considerably modify his predecessor's plans.

‘“‘T sprained my ankle sometime ago, and suffered seriously from the pain and swell- ing,” writes Mr. George Stevens, Peabody, Mass., ‘‘as a last resort I used St. Jacobs Vil. Three applications cured me enttrely.”’

“J say, old chappie,” said a city man to a henpecked friend of his, ‘‘what a shock- ing bad hat yon have on. —_[sn’t_ it about time you bought anew one!’ ‘Not yet ; my wife told me the other day she would not go out with me till I had got a new hat, and | am going to enjoy myself.”

The seeds of disease are sown widely by carlessness, and the opportunity for a vast deal of severe suffering is created by neglect to attend to the premonitory symptons of rheumatism and ! anish the cause by using St Jacobs Oil, the great preventive remedy of the times and the stand-by of the people.

A special eable letter to the Sun, from London, says that among the first transac- tions in the new Royal Courts of Justice, was the rendering of a decision in the case of Mr. Bradlaugh against the Nergeant-at- arms of the House of Commons for ejecting him. It was, as usual, against Mr. Brad- laugh and is important in given additional definition to the relations of Parliament to the Law Courts.

A severe accident lately to a star per- former had a far happier termination than was expected. The wife of W. H. Stowe, Esq., manager of Dan Rice’s Great Show, was terribly injured by being thrown from her horse while performing at Cadiz, Ohio. St. Jacobs Oil alone was used and cured her in four days.

Recently they had an ‘‘ Eisteddfod ’gin Chickering Hall, New York, at whichwne man read an ‘‘ Englynion” and another recited an ‘‘Awdi,” and another the ‘‘Owyddy Farn Fawr,” and then the whole crowd stood up and sang ‘‘ Hen wlad fy uhadhau.” And then the man who had got in by mistake, rose up and said, ‘* For Heaven’s sake let me out !”— Boston Post.

Old farmer S. had a green hand, who would always get the front endgate in the back part of the wagon, and vice versa. The old man showed him again and again how he should put them in, but without effect, and at last, having lost all patience, he painted a big ‘‘B” on each of the afore- mentioned endgates, and calling the hired man, said: ‘Now then, you blasted idiot, here is ‘B’ for behind and ‘B’ for before, and if you don’t get ‘em right after this, Pll turn you off so help me Jeremiah !”

Tom Thumb celebrated his 36th birth- day en Jan. 4th,in Chicago. He said that when first exhibited by Barnnm he was only five years old, and sv light that a streng man could hold him on the palm of his hand. A fashonable overcoat of those days was like the ulster of the present, and had large side pockets with flaps over them. ‘‘Barnum wore one of these,” Tom relates, ‘“‘and I conld get in one of the pockets, and by doubling myself up snugly the fla would conceal me. It was a favorite tric of Barnum’s to put me in his pocket, and appear in the hall about time for opening our entertainment. He would call for me, affecting to be surprised that I was not on the platform, and then I would respond, ‘Here I am, sir,” emerging from tha pocket, ‘‘Alas! how I have grown, since then.”

Bishop Ireland,of Minnesota, is an ardent temperance reformer, but not of a kind to find favor with most total abstinence ad- vocates. He is making earnest efforts on the platform, but condemns all laws which aim to regulate men’s habits as to drink. He enjoins temperance because of its own great benefits, not only to individuals, but also to communities and the State. ‘’Tem- perance is a religious obligation, from all persons; also, a social and moral obligation, from which no man can escape without in- jury to himself and others.” As for total abstinence, which he personally practices, he recommends it as a safeguard for those who adhere to it and asa good example to those who do not. The Bishop is a notably eloquent speaker, and is drawing crowded audiences in the West.

The pleasures of freezing are set forth by a Canadian physician, who lately enjoyed them. His tongue and then his arms be- came etiff, sharp chills run down his back, and finally it seemed at though his whole body had been congealed, causing an almost entire cessation of the heart’s action. This condition of suffering speedily gave place to a grateful warmth which seemed to suffuse the system and cause an exhilarating glow. He was driving and by this time had reached a house, but he went on, thinkin that nething was now to be feared. The sleigh appeared to him to glide through the air with great swiftness, and the horses flew like birds. A sense of exaltation filled him, and he urged the beasts to greater speed, The woods on each side of the road were passed so quickly that they became indis- tinguishable black lines. Then the jingle of the bells sounded farther and further away until they passed out of hearing in the distance. He feli gradually into a delicious slumber, which came near being the sleep of death.

Great excitement was caused in St, Louis last week by the disappearance of Zerelde Garrison, aged seventeen, one of the belles of the city. Last Saturday she left the residence of her uncle, accompanied by her sister, and went to the corner of Fifth and Oliver streets, where she toox the street cars for Wind Hunter's terminus of the car line in the extreme southern part of the city. She asked to be directed to the Convent of the Sacred Heart, half a dozen blocks away, since when she had not been heard of till a letter was received at the Garrisons’ inansion, informed them that the gul was held for moneys and the writer would be glad to make an appointment and treat for delivery. Miss Garrison is now at the house of her uncle. He does not think she suffered any violence at the hands of abductors other than being chloroforned when the raffians obtained possession of her person. The young lady was returned this evening by one of the ruffians, who probab- ly became alarmed at the great excitement of the public, and the probability of punish-

ment. . The lady is suffering from chloro- form, shock and confinement but not seriously. Two of the ruffians were arrests ed. They belong to a notorious gang of Caromtelet huvdluma,
