The Subway. ‘PUBLIC MEETING AT SOURIS—THE SCHEME APPROVED.

| The Court House at Souris East was crowded on Tuesday evening the 31st inst., ‘to hear the Hon. Senator Howlan’s ex- ‘planation of the Subway by which it is pro- ‘posed te connect the Island with the Main- and, Michael McCormecs, Esq. , oceupied | the chair, and the undersigned was appoint- | ed Secretary.

| The Hon. Senator on entering the Court House, was warmly applauded. Commene- ing his address he briefly stated that 10 bringing the matter of the proposed Sub- way before the people of Prince Edward Isiand he had nothing to do with party politics. Twelve years ago, when the Island entered Confederation, the two most important questions which engaged the attention of the delegates who negott- ated the Terms of Union, were the land question and the question of intercommuni- cation. The land question had happily been setiled, but so far as winter communi- cation was concerned the Terms of Union yet remained unfulfilled. Heretofore the greatest obstacle with which the members from the Province had to contend in press- ing on the General Government the neces- sity for faithfully earrying out the terms of their agreement, was the fact that no feasible scheme had been propounded whereby the great difficulty attending winter communication might be overcome He now felt confident that the proposed

| i

Subway would removed that obstacie. It had received the approval. of the best engineering authorities in

Canada and the United States; and it was therefore the duty of all parties to unite in pressing on the Dominion Government the necesstiy of at once ordering a thorough in- vestigation to test the practicability of the scheme.

The Senator then proceeded, with the aid of a model of the proposed Subway, charts, soundings of the Straits, &c., to explain the actual method of constructing the work. The Address occupied abou' two hours in delivery, and was attentively listened to throughout. At its close, Alexander R Beaton, Lsq , came forward and proposed the following Resolutions, which were seconded by John McLean, Esq., M. P- P., and unanimously carried :

Whereas, the chief inducement that led the people of P. E. Island to enter Confederation was the stipulation for eflicient and continuous steam communication, Winter and summer, be- tween this Island and the mainland, and

Whereas, this ciause of the Terms of Union atiil remain unfulfiled—

Resolved, that in the opinion of this meeting it is the imperative duty of the Dominion Govern- er ry the terms of their contract without farther delay; aiso

Resolved, that this meeting, having heard Sen-

ator Howlan’s explanation of the proposed Sub- way across the Straits, is of the opinion that the Dominion Government should, at the coming session of Parliament, adopt measures with the view of testing the feasibility of the Subway scheme and, if found to be feasible, to grant a sum sufficient for the construction of the same at as early a date as possible. That the thanks of this meeting are due and are hereby tendered to Senator Howlan for his able and instructive Address on the occasion; and for his exertions in bringing the subject of the Subway so prominently before the public.

A Resvlution was also submitted by a delegation from the Black Bush Debating Society, giving their hearty concurrence to any scheme that would facilitate communi- cation with the mainland.

After the resolutions were read and adopted, short complimentary speeches were made by Sheriff McDonald, Dr. Mce- Intyre and Dr. Muttart. Three rousing cheers were also given for Senator Howlan and the Subway, after which the meeting was brought to a close.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR,

~_-—-_»-—-—_——

The Subway.

Sin,—lIt is passing strange how fond some men are of appearing in the press with lengthy epistles, in which they labor hard to impress public opinion with their profoundness on questions of the day, 1 now refer y u to a lengthy letter, signed J. H. Bell, which appeared in the Patriot yesterday, and to another short epistle, by an anonymous writer, complimenting our people for possessing such a prodigy of learning, etc., as J. H. Bell. The com plimentary opistle was, no doubt, written by the editor of the Patriot, who like all other Grit editors, has never had the pluck to come out in apn editorial and cast any re- fiections on Senator Howlan’s honesiy in conuection with the subway scheme, know- ing well that public opinion all over the Island and in the sister provinces strongly approves of the Senator's untiring patriot ism in this matter. Mr. J. Howatt Bell’s letter is written in the same disguised style as that by the Patriot's editor—not from s desire to instruct our people, as he would have you believe — but evidently to stab the Senator, and Sir John’s govern ment, and at the same time endeavor to place himself before the Grit electors of Prince County for the next election, Your correspondent has been credibly informed by one who was present at the subway meeting held in Summerside, that it was quite too late, it being after 10 o'clock when the Senator finished his address, and to have heard Mr. Bell (before putting the resolutions to the meeting) through with one of his too well-known fulsome, tiresome apeeches, could have been too much to ex- pect any audience to listen to in one night. If Mr. Bell would learn to ‘‘boil his com- plaints down, and put them in a concise, logical way, keeping politics out of the question, and at the same time be naggural aud m odest—-as becomes a s'ranger starting business ina new town—then the good people of Summerside when the time arrives will extend to him that courtesy which ability and honesty always com- mands

Mount Stewart Notes.

On the Ist inst. the Good Templars hada very pleasant evening, tea being provided by the ladies of the order. About fifty partook of the good things of this life, after which the company retired to their lodge- room, where they were entertaincd by speeches, readings, singings and recitations. Every one seemed to enjoy themselves, and the outlook for the Good Templars is very encouraging.

On Sabbath last, in the Methodist Chureh, a temperance sermon was preached by the Rev. E. Bell, toa very large con- gregation, showing that the people are in sympathy with the great cause.

On the 6th inst. the debating society re- ceived the services of L. H. Davies, Esq., M. P. P., of your city, to lecture. A large audience favored this popylar gentleman to hear him epeak upon the subject, ‘ Great Men in Coancil.” All spoke in praise of the lecturer.
