THE DAILY EXAMINER

~ JANUARY 6, 1899 |

THe the merchants and people of Prince Edward I land labor, are many and great. It 18 vexatious to know that they are increased

disadvantages under which

by reason of high charges and unjust dis-

crimivations. The matter is brought

home ti j cred to unexpected exactions such as re-

ue the more closely when eub-

sult from tbe extraordinary and disap- ; Minto. With the former doimg nothing and the latter taken awey from the port at for the most part! cenires, the people are heavy charges, of barrels of flour and other merchandise are now, we are told, waiting transport at Pictou for Charlotte- But to be brought around by way of Georgetown, necessitat- ing additional freight and truckage, and loss of time, all of which, borne direct- ly by our merchents, comes indirecily out of the pockets of the people. Thi* extra expenditure and joss applies to al) the products we buve to send away as wel! as to all the goods we have to import at this sesson, On firat-claes frieght there is « charge -of 14 cente per hundred pounds for freight between C@barlottetown and Georgetown, and a charge of 10 cents per hundred pounds from Georgetown to Picteu, and upon other goods a charge is like proportion. The difference in the eost of carriage from this Province and from points op the mainland is remark- able. For instance the distance from Charlottetown to Sydney—to which we now send large quantities of produce and hope to send increasing quantities in the fuiure, ie 273 miles, To send a bandred pounds of first-class freight to Sydney, a merchant here has te pay 60 cents; while the cost of sending the eame quantity 273 miles anywhere on the mainland is 38 cents. Here’we have a heavy and upjust discrimination against the merchant

and people of Prinee Edward Island. For carrying a hundred pounds of oate from Poronts to Sydney— 1100 miles—the charge is 30} cente,and from Charloite- town to Sydney, 273 miles, 25 cents !

Any reasonable man would suppose tha; the Government of the country would do all that it eould in justice snd reason to mitigate the disadvantages under whi-h the people of Prince Edward Island Jaber. With two winter steamere, one might have been sent to ply betweem Tormentine and Summerside, accerding to promise; or if this were im possible, one might have been kept at Charlot‘etown as long as possibles while the other kept up communieatioc at Georgetewn. But the Geverament! seems to have no faith in the province and | no desire either to keep feith with ite peo” j

NOTES AND COMMENTS

—It seems that the Minto is compelled to avoid avything harder than open water !

—The Queen has accepted the services of twelve battalions of militia for foreign stations. Seven of these are assigned to South Africa.

—Lovely weather! Lucky for the Minto ;— but it brings no comfort to Char- Jottecowu merchants who have gools to | ship to er from Pictou,

—It 1s suggested that the government’s curious manegement of the Minto and the Stanley is designe to force up the re- ceipts of the P.k. Island railway. Cers tainly it will have that effect.

—Seme of the Kuropean and some of jhe American newspapers, also, thimk that they see ia the recent British repulses the first signs of the fal! | of the British Enapire.

—The Guardian is constrained to admit thet “it is quite apparent to auy one con- versant with public opinion that the Laurier Ministry stands iu lees favor than it did.”, The changed atiitude of The Guardian adds _ several gota and eufficient reasons for the change. The Guardian is, in itself, a fact eigaifican t é of a change in public opinion, which we | are glad to note,

—In the course of arecent speech Mr. Chamberlain quoted the following lines of the poet Cooper, descriptive of the fate of the statesman and politician in active life:

“To earn no praise when prevail,

And to be rudely censured when they

fill.”

In such a life, however, there are rare moments of mitigation,

—In Cairo the greatest changes and improvements are constantly being made in the hotels. Insensibly the ancient and romantic city is becomivg a British winter resort, brilliant, gay, full of at- tractions for these cosmepolitan pleasure- seekers who fly eastward every yeur, ostensibly in searco of health, but in reality for the purpose of enjoying the perpetual sunshine and =— coca pleasures to be obtained in these tavored regions. Luxurious botels, ciubs, and private houses are springing up with wonderfui rapidity on the bauks of the Nile. With all the pleasures of the field, the drawing-room, balls, rowing, boating, ternie and golf, the winter virltor can scarcely realize that he is evjoying all these advanteges nuler the shadow of tbe Great Pyramids. Thus the British occupa- tion of Egypt is as much social as mil:- tary. The increasing wealth attracted to the country year by year, the steady im-~ provement in the status of the native population, aod the beneficial traneforma~ tion of the Egzptian financial ard ad- ministrative methods has popularieed this oceupstion among 8!! classes of the com- munity.

A Heartiess Matden. There is a girl in town pretty, has a many admirers, but the most ardent of all happens to be a pudgy old grass widower, with two grandchildren and a red nose.

Naturally she has to stand a good deal of guying on his account and skips him as much as possible. So much, in fact, that the poor man had no chance to plead his cause in private and alone and so was at last driven to the use of pen and paper.

Here is his production. It is recom- mended to all bashful lovers for its brevity and beauty, as well as busi- nesslike construction:

A Story of Judge Mattacks,

Henry Keyes of Vermont was a life- long Democrat. Governor Mattacks—~ or Judge Mattacks—was for a brief period e« Democrat also. After he got to be a judge he soon pecame a Whig. While holding court at St. Johnsbury he occupied a room at the leading ho- tei, which, as was usual during court time, was dull. Late at night Mr. Keyes arrived and wanted a bed. The landlord informed him that every bed in the house had two in it except the one that was occupied by Judge Mat- tacks.

“Go up and tell him that Henry Keyes wants to sleep with him.”

The landlord went up, rapped at the judge’s door, and told him his errand.

“Henry. Keyes,” said the judge half asleep; “Henry Keyes of Newbury? Democrat? Oh, yes, I’ve had it once. Let him in.”—San [Francisco Argonaut.

Mount Rainier’s Shadows.

A recent visitor from the east to Puget sound describes with enthusi- asm the wonderful shadow effects pro- duced by, and ‘upon, the gigantic

‘snowy cone of Mount Rainier. It some-

times happens that the sky. as seen from the city of Tacoma just before sunrise, is covered with a dome of cloud 15,000 feet, or more, in height, while behind the peak, toward the east, the sky is elear. In such circumstances the rising sun casts the shadow of the great mountain upon the cloud curtain overheac in the form of a vast blue triangle, the point of which rests upon the apex of the peak. At other times the shaduw of the earth can be seen creeping up the cone in a distinct curve, while the flush of sunset stains the fEOW above the line of shadow to a deep pink.—Youth’s Companion. Hrs. Drew's Opinicon of Edwin Booth, Edwin Booth had a very sweet char- acter and a charming manner at re- hearsals, which he detested. I think, after Hamlet, his Bertuccio in the “Feol’s Revenge” was his finest rep- resentation. He threw his whole soul into it, and it was indeed a perform- ance te be remembered.—Mrs. John Drew in Scribner's.
