interesis of the Neighboring Provinces,

Sir,—Now that the’ Federal Elections are over, your people can sit down and quietly count up the loss or gain. To one living a day’s journey from the battle. field perhsps it 1s easier to see the result than it ig for the immediate actors. Of course, ‘far beyond all other questions is that of { waa glad to see that it was brought so prominently forward, The whole Island should be a unit on that question. If it is possible to have a tunnel the adyantages to the Island would be incalculable. To give an instance. three weeks ago two Island boys dined with me, and the question of the price of provisions came up. Potatoes in the Isiand one told me were worth 22 to 25 cents. Those on my table that day cost me 81.35. Eggs brought 22 cente. } paid 38 that day. Not until you can get the pro- vinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia to join you jin the demand for the fulfilment of your Contederation terms, will you atand much chance of getting what you want. Why not send a strong delegation to present your claims before the Boards of Trade of St. John and Halifax? I feel assured that your cause isa good and a just one. "Tis one that both cities have a direct interest in, and if properly ,presented, as Messrs. Howlan, Davies, Ferguson or Prowse could present it, the interest would be widened and deepened, Resolutions in favor would no doubt be passed. Of course the tunne! question must be kept separate from party politics. Ican see that the Island has made one clear step in advance on thia question and your late election has been a clear gain Personally lam a Free Trader “pure and simple.” of the Cobden and Bright school, although I notice Tk EXAMINER does not go so far. { would abolish every daty save that from which we collect excise, and have absolute free trade with the world. A Can- adian is as good a man as any other man, and in the end will come to the top. The tunnel queation is just beginning to be ‘talked about here, but at present in a sort of half jocular way, asa kind of *“*fad.” Send som: ot your best men here, let them come pre- pared to give facts and figures and you will find that the merchants and business men of St. John are men of the dare and do principle. As witness tl:e rise from the fire aud the build- ing of those magnificent bridges across the St. John. Shew to them that the tunnel will be an advantage to them as well as to you and they will give you every support. W. H,.S. St. John, March 24, 1891.

Civic Reform...

Sir, —As a candidate seekiug the suffrages of the electors of Charlottetown and Roy- alty, I have been requested to freely state my views and intentions respecting Civic Reform ia the matter of the representation of the citizens in the City Council.

Owing to the large increase of the popu- lation in Wards 5 and 4, the present repre- sentation in the Council is inequitable and unsatisfactory.

I am. prepared to support any fair and equitable measure or scheme that will give the people representation by population and equal rights to all classes of citizens

Any legislation best calculated to promote the welfare and prosperity of this my native city shall always have my hearty support,

Patrick BLake. ro 6 OO ee A Request.

Sm,—As there are in your city many able expounders of the scriptures, those who are versed in the doctrines of men and who are willing to aid all seekers for the truth out of doubt and mysteries, | would respectfully ask the clergymen re- presenting the different orders of faith in Charlottetown to preach a. sermon, an- nouncing through your paper the date of its delivery, and on different Sabbaths, which shall fembody an explanation of the fol- lowing interrogatory :

‘“*‘Why is man responsibie for his acts, or what becomes of his own freedom of will or agency if God knew from the beginning be- fore the event occurred what would occur and established how, and appointed the time when, and decreed or fore-ordained by whom it should occur, and predestined or predoomed the subject, as well ss the author of the event, to its result ?”

Ayk, VERILY. Meeting at Souris. THE SECRETARY'S REPOR?.
