“Wo have much pleasure in reprinung our leaders of the 12th and. 2lst inst., at the request of the Hon. Senator Carvell, of Prince Edward Island, who took the initia- tive in directing public attention to the law under which his Province was suffering from existing cable and telegraph monopo- lies.”

Shortly after the elevation of Mr. Car- yell to the Senate, we ventured to express the opinion that, given the opportunity to de this Province real service, it would be found that he would not let any eppor- t-mity And if the attention he has—in the nick of time, it appears - directed to the Telegraph monopoly of this’ Previnee by the Anglo- American Company result in breaking it lave received

ed to be no getting ent of it. As well ex- peet to see flowing streams amid the sands of Sahara, as free and cheap telegraphy io Prince E!.\dward Island. But a perusal of ef this vamphiet will show that we need n.t yet abandon hope.

The iirst article (that in the Cidiren of the 12th April) gives a historical resvme of the many in senious stratagems and manoeuvres by whic! The sscond acticle is devoted more particularly

the monoply was secured.

‘

to the consideration of ‘‘the Telegraphic situation,’ and to the remedy for the evils existing in this regard. We quote from the latter to-day, leaving the exposure of the tactics of the monopolists for a future issue of Tux Examiner. It is now enly

necessary to state that,in order to secure

the monopoly in perpetuity, it was neces- sary to ‘‘ engineer” the passage of an Act through the Deminion Parliament. No

less than five different Dills, all with the same great end in view, were introduced by the monopolists—the idea being that if one

miscarried the other might get safely

All five were progressing unim-

throuvh peded, until Senator Carvell detected their particularly upon this} the attention of

bearing and effect Provinces; and directed Senators and other influential men to them. It is now almost certain that this ‘‘ tinish- ing stroke ” is foiled ; and, if the proper steps be taken, the monopoly may yet be removed. The Ciimen says :—

‘© Ag the Marine Telegraph Law of now stands, we have power to demand that the Anyle-American combination shall re- meye their submarine cable connections with Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, er forego exclusive monopoly rights over the shores of Newfoundland and Prince Edward Island, said rigits having already been proved by practical science to be of little and fast di- minishing commercial value. Such power,

we maittain, is at our command, and if a!

strictly legal course was pursued, we can compel the relinquishment of such exclusive rights and privileges, for, be it remembered that tho Anglo-American combination ‘can- not land their cables elsewhere. in conse- quence of the enactment which prevented the second French company landing their cable upen the shores of Massachusetts un- til they signed an express proviso in unision with our own Act of 1875. To such an as- sumption of power we have hitherto been

met with the threat that the whele eivilize.! community would denounce an arbitrary preceeding, which might,

for a time at least, deprive the world

1Onr= 1O{O0]

Cable ivufluence, and forever destroy the

power of absorption now so Ube wpulously Anglo-American

: ’ exercised by the

combination Wich such dire etiect upon all cable enterprises, the mani-

fest result must be that we shail have the Anglo-American combination, with their three cables and £7,000,000 of representa- tive capital, brought into competition with the two cables ef the Direct and New French Cabie Company, wiih a representa-

tive capital of about £2,000,000 only. And

with what result} ither the Anglo ettin &

American combinaiion must reduee the

tariff, rate to 50 cenis per word, as originally pledged to the world by the Direct and both French Companies, or the Anclo-American, in order to held fast its pooling arrangements with the First French and Direct Cable Companies, and also to enable them to maintain their powers of coercion over the Second French and all future cable enterprises must abandon their monopoly righ:s in Newfoundland and Prince Edward Island, and thus en- able both ihe imperial aud Dominion Gov- ernments to exercise their legitimate rights

within British possessions. Seeing that Newfoundland is not the key to the con-

tinent of America fer telegraph purpeses,

we have little doubt as to the cheice of the Anglo-American combination ; but in either ease, if our rulers do their duty, the pub- lie will be the gainers, e cher by a material reduction in tariff rates, or by free tele- eraphy; and we demand. therefore, the strict maintenance of our Jaws and a just and prompt settlement of the vexed ques-

Another Riot in Quebec. GREAT EXCITEMENT—ONE MAN KILLED.

country people This was the beginning ef the storm which culminated to-day. Little wranglings netweon the two nation-

Sed inst., when open revolt showed itself. The Dominion iine sieamer was al- ready to discharge cargo, and Mr. McPher gon, the Ageni, had licensed his gang of workingmen who happened to be #rench Canadians. While at work on the steamer they were attacked by a gang of old country laborers, who assaulted them with stones and missiles io such an exient that the men were forced to leave the vessel. The steamer then put eff inte the middie of the stream. Later in the day about 600 men assemble in Little Champlain Street, some j}went into a store when a general row broke out among them, in which sticks aud stones and other missiles were freely used. The men in the stove including the Secretary of ithe Union Canadienne, Mr. Wiseman, ifound themselves in a trap and were forced to fly. Inthe melee which ensued several shots Were fired. There were few police- men on the ground, but Detectives Skefi- ingten and Martin were early there. One

jman was shot, it is feared fatally. Up te ito alate hour he has not been found and some fear he has been thrown into the

iriver. His name is reported as La Place. | Lhree men, all French Canadians were res- ‘cued from the howling and angry mob with ‘great difliculty. They were badly beaten labout the bead with an iron bar. They | were conveyed to the police station and had their wounds dressed by Dr. Colin Sewell, i\who was in attendance on them for some , time. Several arrests were made, including , Wiseman, who is chiefly held as a witness.
