on the Railway.

We have many times called attention to the expediency, nay—if the Railway is to prove the success it nay prove -the neces- sitv of a modification of the railway tariff to suit th: particular circumstances of this Province. We have also calied attention particul riy to the want of better arran ge ments for the care and carriage of cattle and sheep in transit. We have reason for the belief that these representations were not without due weight with Mr. McNab and our Island representatives. In point of fact, several modifications have been made.

But the new superintendent, being a stranger here, cannot be supposed to know

what requires to be doner. And we shall therefore again, from time to time, take the liberty of calling attention to some of the defects which should be remedied.

First, and perhaps most important is the necessity of improved arrangements for the care an‘| carriage of sheep and cattle. We complain, not without cause, that sheep for the British Market have te be taken hence to Quebec, before they are shipped. This is’ “‘a defective arrangement,’ to remedy which some trouble may be experi. enced. But to make their carriage on the Islaud railway as cheap, easy and safe, as it is on other rai) ways is a matter of no real difficulty. On other railways there are suitable pens for cattle and _ sheep. It would not be hard to make pens, with separate places for different kinds of stock, at the principal stations along the line. Other railways have cars fitte 1 up for the carriage of as many as one hundred and sixty sheep, while the cars on the Island Railway carry only about fifty, and that with such packing that if there were here a society for the prevention of cruelty to animals, the railway oticials would, ia all probability, be brought to book. ‘The fitting up of a few cars for the spec al purpose of carrying sheep ought not to cost a great deal. We are convinced that a little outlay and attention on the part of the railway authorities would, with the necesssary modification of the tariff, be the means of materially enlarging the juse- fulness of the railway in this respect. The trade in cattle and sheep is a growing trade; and we believe it will pay the Railway to meet its wants.

A ee Not Worth a Fuss. Wr do not, as ‘our correspondent ** Peter’ does, see the necessity of making a fuss about the new Superintendent’s Private Secretary. To do so will merely divert attention frem the main question, which is one of principle rather than one of

persons. Mr. Archibald, never having been on the Island before, does not, of course, know any ono here. Therefore he

cannst be expected to place confidence in

any one here; and, needing a private Secretary, it is but natural that he should select one he is acquainted with. This

being so, his Private Secretary is neces- sarily a Nova Scotian. Apart from this good reason, we do not see why an Islander should not have the position.—It is suf- ficiently subordinate.

Defective Commercial Arrange-

ments.

One of the defective commercial arrange-

ments of Prince Edward is well shown up

by ‘‘ Gbserver ” in his ‘‘ Notes of the Past Month.’ We do hope that our merchants

and farmers will wake up to the necessity of reme lying this defect before next season. That we shonld be obliged to send sheep to the British market by way of Quebec, a cir cuit of sixteen hundred miles, is disgraee- ful enough to rouse every Islander of spirit to an effort to make a better arrangement. There is no doubt that by the co-operation of farmers and merchants this could be done.

I madeu remark ‘* that the poor devils must be tired,’ but was met vith the seft impeachment that they did not care a curse as they were paid $1.00 a uight to march, and the more nights the more money. This, of course, had a rather deteriorating effect upon my impressions of the campaign, as it appears that the party who have the most money can have the largest procession.

‘Lo-night the announcement of the result of the eiection was made known, As cus- tomary, | was in the midst of the throng, and | am afraid that Island journalists will have to come tothe U. 8. to receive lessons. Washingten street (upon which most of the journalists hang out) was packed by a dense mass, and to force a passage was both im- possible and undesirable. The street was illuminated by the electric light, and three journals, the Boston Globe, (Democrat), the Boston Herald, (Independent), and the Boston Journal, (Republican), had prepared calciuin sheets, upun which the returns from the different Stutes were shewn as quickly as received. I stood opposite the Boston Globe oftice, before which the Democratic mass had congregated. Bul- letins came out, or rather were shown as magic lantern performances, every two min- utes, and upon the appearance of each bul- letin there was a Democratic howl of ap- probation.
