This is, of course, a libel on Summerside.
Some of the mosc tasteful and

But it shows the importance of attending to the repairs of streets and sidewalks, the ornamentation of the public squares and the painting of houses and stores,—par_ ticularly if we desire to attract hither the travelling public. The summer trade of Charlottetown depends largely upon its summer travel; and in making it attractive the Street Committee and Mr. Arthur New- bery, and all engaged in the work, are materially benefitting the city.

The British Elections.
Mr. J. P. Connor telegraphed to the New York press on Sunday last: ‘“‘Satur- day's returns are again discouraging.” \ serious feature of the fight from the Glad- stonian standpoint, is the loss of where unionist candidates had retired in favor of the tories, and the unionists as a body abstained from gving to the polls rather than cast their ballots in favor of their old enemies. Newcastls-under-Lyme and Line (?) may be quoted as instances. In these, and nearly all other constituen- cies Siu-ilarly situated, few of the unionists went tc the polls, and. yet the Gladstone candidates were beaten. The votes, couut ed up to midnight, show a wonderful fall- ing off as compared with the last general election. In many cases, where a tory or unionist candidate defeated a Gladstonite, the latter received far less support than on the previous occasion. The moral of these cases is that nine-tenths of the liberal party—in some cases, ninety-nine out of a hundred of the liberal voters—remain true to their principles and to Gladstone, but a
Seats
miserable minority of dissidents was left, just sufficient in number to turn the scale
against the government, and the return of the tory, or unionist, party by the barest of majorities. This seems to be the case al- most everywhere in Envland. Thus Bos- ton was lost by only 48, Grantham by 36, and Ashton-under-Lyne was a tie, which was decided in favor of the tory candidate by the tory presiding officer. The wain- tenance of the position of Licolnshire is due chiefly to anti-Catholic feeling distinguish- ing that shire.- In other parts of the coun- try we may expect to see this feeling crop- ping out, Home rule Seems to have been about the last question in these parts. The unionists have raised in many of the remote parishes where the established church is al] powerful, the ‘‘disestablishment cry,” th’ is helping them largely. It is
A CURIOUS AND INSTRUCTIVE FACT,
and
further, that whereas in some shires wnion- ists candidates are returned to parliament and Gladstonites defeated, by the anii- Catholic vote, in ° other parts it is the English Catholic vote that is doing the work of the anti-home rulers. The etforts to convince the English Catholic mind that the Catholic Church is hostile to home rule, because of the alleged danger to the empire have been crowned with success ip 1 places. But there are still remote dis- tricts where a Catholic voting for home rule would be regarded as a traitor to the constitution, and in these portions of the country unionists candidates are being elected by the very vote that ought to de- feat them. Nothing in the history of the present struggle more forcibly illustrates the confusion of the public mind on the true principles at issue, and the necessity of a longer educational process, than the time at our command has allowed. In Lanca- shire the Liberals have scored
Tost
A FEW IMPORTANT VICTORIES. from which good may be expected +o flow later on. Searborough, Caine’s old seat, which was believed to be saturated with toryism and unionism in their most offen- sive form, has turned out its Tory member and elected a Gladstonite. This is about the last place in Fygland where such an event would have been looked for, and it will Lclp the government in coming up on the north-east coast. Huddersfield has also elected a‘ Gladstonite in place of a Unionist. As there are several divisions in the neighborhood still to poll, Gladstone may look for good gains in this section. The great county of Yorkshire is shown, by returns from representative points, at a late hour, to be voting en masse for Glad- stone. This goes far to dissipate the gloomy feeling caused by the depressing re- perts from the midlands received earlier in the day, and NOT A SINGLE SEAT IN YORKSHIRE
has been taken by the Tories, in spite of the six seats captured at the last genera] election. The Tories are not faring much better in Scotland, even in quarters where the outbreak of Unionists was most threat- ening, and peers. and commoners, to all appearance, had succeeded in completely terrerizing the voters. It is remarked as peculiarly significant that Dundee, of all places in the north, is returning a heavier vote and giving a larger majority ‘than at any time previous to this year. The pro- babilities seem to indicate that the hew Parliament will be much the same in its general composition as the one that de- teated Gladstone’s home rule bill, except that the Unionist element may be a little stronger than in the last house.
A correspondent of the New York Times cables that
AN UNBIASED ESTIMATE
made independently by a number of news- paper men resulted in a pretty general agreement that the majority one way or the other would be small, the average: running from 15 majority for Gladstone to 6 for Salisbury. The coolest politicians on both sides fear most not defeat so much as an inconclusive result. Several Gladston- ians Whom I have talked with entertain a positive opinion that it will be a small majority ora small minority. Wise men on the conservative side look with com- placency upon any result that gives a con- servative gain. At present it does not seem probable under the best calculations that Gladstone can get a sufficient majority to carry the Home Rule and land bills in the new parliament. Nor is he likely to be

In making this ship- ment the Messrs. Blake Bros, risk a good (leal; but we hope the venture will prove so successful that they may be induced to make wwother in the autumn. Mr. P. Blake, M. P.
