One of the results of the Pan-American Congress is the agreement upon a plan of arbitration fora settlement of difficulties between American nations. Whenever any difference arises between two or more of the republics of either of the Americas it will be referred to some other republic for a without an appeal to arms. In ie parties at issue Cannot agree upon a single arbitrator each is allowed to Dame! one and those named are to select an um- pire. This is likely to put an end to the nterminable wars between the South Am- erican re pu Ics

In the course of a short discussion on the araalgamation of the Legislature yes- terday afiernoon, there were several sneeis onthe part of the Opposition, at George- nd its representation. That George town is not so large as some constituencies, goes without saymg. Bat the electors of Georgetown have not returned to the Legis- Jature a dishonorable man or a dunder- head,—which is more than van be gaid of some pretentious districts. Electors who have sent into the public service, and con- tinued their support to representatives such

as Hon A. A. MacDonald and Hon. T. H. Haviland, Hen. Daniel Gordon and Hon. A J. MacDonald have more to boast

about than mere exrent numbers of comm:

of territory and population,—viz: saving n sense and ability to discriminate in the interests of the country.

-Mr. Gladstone sent a phonographic messace to the Ame rican Co-operative Bulding Low Association, which met at New York « short time ago. The message was as follows :—

Drak Sins,—The purpose of the meeting on the 14th may, I conceive, be summed up in two words self-help and thrift—and I cannot, although much oceupied, refuse to send to it afew words of copyratulation and good will, It is self-help that makes the man, and man-making is the aim which the Al- mighty has everywhere impressed upon lt is thrift by which self-help for the masses, dependent upon labor, is princi- pally made effective. For them thrift is the symbol and the instrument of independence and liberty, indispensable conditions of all permanent buman good. But thrift is also the mother of temptation, and here comes a denger into view, for wealth is the mother of temptation and leads many of its possessors into a new form of slavery, more subtle and not less debasing than theold. From this s'avery may all lands, and especially all lands , the English tongue, hold themselves forever ree

The Capes Route.

Str,—There has been very little ice in the Gulf here this winter. A small, power- ful steamer could have crossed here every day this winter; and since the middle of March there has been no ice to hurt any vessel. A small tug could have crossed every hour, if required. Since the mails left here there has been constant crossing by the opposition boats. Over four hun- dred passengers crossed here this last month. Onthe 13th of April a sailboat came over with passengers and returned with some from this side. If the pier was completed on the other side, and the pier extended to deep water here, there would be a boat put on quick,—for here is the place nature has made fur the connection with the mainland. The Stanley has been pounding through forty miles of ice, when she could cross here in half an hour without a particle of ice to bother her. The extra expense that it takes to run the Stanley on the Georgetown-Pictou route, over what it would be to run her here, would very soon build the piers, not to say anything about the distruction of the ship. it does not require very much engineering skill to build a pier here. The bottom is excellent and the protection good ; and it would not require a very heavy amouut to give twenty feet of water at low tide. Il hope that the Dominion Government will see to it at once and have this pier ex- tended this summer. It is not only the shortest route, but it is exactly in the centre of the Island, and the terminus on the New Brunswick side is nearly on the line between Nova Scotia and New Bruns- wick, So you will see nature has given it all the essential points for quick and con- venient connection between here and the Mainland. And it will give the people of Prince Edward Island a service that will be equa) and fair to all who trave! from East to West. If the Minister of Railways would give us a morning train here there would be 4 small steamer put on here this summer, and passengers leaving Charlotte- town in the morning could comedown here, instead of guing to Summerside, and cvuld cross here and connect with the fast C. P. R. train from Halifax, and could be in Montreal twenty-four hours ahead of pas- sengers going by Summerside ee think, Mr. Editor, you wil see that there would be a great advantage gained by establishing this route, not only for quick- ness, but also on account of sea-sickness.

a heard that parties are hawking Spectacles through the country and cha! ging enormous prices for ordinary Glasses, we beg to say that we guarantee to sell our Spectacles at from 25 to 100 per cent. cheaper than these peddlers. We ae better Spec- tacle foc $1.50 than those for which $2 50 has been paid in the country to peddlers, far- mers and others!—don’t be cheated by any false representation of sharpers, no matter what they call themselves. We bvy direct from manufacturers, and take special care to give correct lense required for each eye, so that in getting a pair of Spectacles from us you do not get a glass too atrong for a good eye just because a weaker eye requires one. which you might do if you purchased in the ordinary way. Of course, there are some parties whom Spectacles will never benefit, but they are very few indeed; and we have successfully fitted many persons with the cor- rect thing who had never been able to see pro- periy before, and after they had tried and failed to get suited from so-called Oculist Opticians.

NOTE.—We employ no traveling agents, but our Glasses may be ordered, if p:eferred, hrough any of our resident agents in the country, who will be happy to give any infor- mation required. Pamphiets giving intorma- tion sent free on application to

Rev. Mr. Whitman Again.

HIS ACCUSERS EXPELLED—~BRETHKEN dJOWL,

SISTERS SCOWL, AND THE DOW BARKS.

A Joliet, Ill., despatchjof the 11th says : Amid a tumultous scene, perhaps never be- fore witnessed in a Christian church, Dr. Whitman, pastor of the First Baptist Church, was acquitted to-night of the charges preferred against him by Mr. and Mrs. Stiles, by a vote of 97 to 79, and his accusers were expelled from the church. |Dr. Whitman, it will be remembered, came on to Charlottetown to obtain a letter of dismissal from his former congregation, which was refused. }

Dr. Whitman presided over the mecting to which many objected, one brother say- ing it was ** like trying 4 case in hell with the devil for judge.” Trustees were first elected who were favorable to the pastor Then a resolution was presented exonerat ing Dr, Whitman and characterizing the charges against him as ** base fabrications of malicious and evil-minded persons.”

Deacons Vance and Bush opposed this resolution earnestly, saying that, as the decision of the brethren of the Char- lottetown church had not yet reached them, it was like taking snap judgment upon him.

The friends of the pastor maintained that he had laid all the charges and proofs against him before them on Monday night, acknowledging that they were sustained and vindicated himself.

Then ensued one of the most disgraceful wrangles ever witnessed in a house of God. Shouts of applause on one side and hisses and grvans on the other, supplemented by the barking of a huge mastiff dog every time thers was 4 demonstration.

Sister Aldrich accused Deacon Vance of malicious falsehood in accusing Dr. Whit- man of forging his letters ef recommenda- tion. One brother said the pastor could **lie out of a bad situation slicker than any villain in the penitentiary.” Then the crowd shouted and howled and the big dog barked.

Deacon James G. Patterson, a former supporter of Dr. Whitman, called upon him to resign, saying he now believed the charges to be true.

The pastor replied that he was the victim of a foul conspiracy, and that they wanted to disgrace him in his innocence, dog him into the grave and torever banish him from the ministry, which he had spent twenty- five years in preparation for.

One brother shouted, ‘* they can’t do it,” Several sisters and brothers meekly up- held the pastor. The voting on the resolu-

tion then tovk place amid the greatest excitement, with the result previously stated.

Deacon Bash then read a request signed by seventy-nine members, asking Dr. Whitman to resign, to which no attention was paid. This was followed by a resolu- tion expelling Dr. Whitman’s original ac- cusers, Mr. and Mrs. D. M. Stiles, which was passed amid cries and mutterings and withdrawals from the church and the bark- ing of the big dog.
