; i ‘ | Auswer to “ Icebozt.” | Sie —Your correspondent ‘ Iceboat,” pan youc issue of 18th inst., evidently wants ito keep clear of the real polpt at issue if » gays the ‘ SE ets actually ,agreed with and hired Mr. Arthur Irving, letc, May I ask again, Me. Bait ‘or, why ny man shonld be placed in a position to Ih ire Captain ft rving in connection with the Copan Service? Your correspondert goes on totella mean story of Captain Irvieg ndeavoring to induce the men to sirike, ete., of which I do not believe him guilty ; b Captain Irving will no doubt xplain over his own signature. I have no deubt that Captain irving has often en couraged his men in their hazardous work}; by siving them to nnderstand that even- ually they would be better paid, and I this ik he was justified in doing 80 as pro- imises of that kind were repeatedly held lout to him by our representetives, as well as by your correspondent ** Ieeboat” him- self. Bat this, Me, Editor, is not the question aa st affecting the public. Captain Irving

ut this

did not commit the offenes before Capt.

McEliinrey’s appointment. Then why was he appointed? Respecting a long story about Capt. Irving striking, &e., it is

poor shelter for those guilty of McEthin- ney’s appointment to sneak behind, and the question at issue is not ‘* Are the charges true?’ but has not the efficiency of a most important public service to this Province, successfully superintended by Capt. Irving for over thirty years, been interfered with, aud rendered more hazardous by the ap- pointment of an inexperienced, incompetent man.

Let ‘‘Iceboat” discuss manfully the questions at issue, and their different phases, and exhibit some spirit of patriotic independence, then his letters will be worth replying to.

Yours, &., Boat Hook.

Winter Communication.

Sir,—Ever since this Province entered into Confederation, the Dominion Govern- ment has trea ed us with altogether too much indifference, particularly in the fual- filment of the Terms of Union by giving us ‘continuous steam communication with the maialand, winter and summer.” We have patiently waited from one season to another that this honorable body might redeem their promises to the Province, but without avail.

How ofien, tuo, have we been obliged to submit to other bumiliations, such as having office-seekers from the other Prov- inces, where there was no rocm for them, placed in promirent positions here, while way of* ~ar Dest. and most talented wen have been entirely ignored.

But I think the Government, by their las xppointment of a ‘*‘certain Capt. Me- Elninney” to superintend the crossing at the Capes, have added the last outrage. Where are ali our journalists? Where are the honorable gentlemen by whom we are representei at Ottawa? Surely they would never recommend or even submit to such a gross injustice without raising their voices against it !

It is surely most unfair that the men

who inangcrated this only succesfful means of communication with the Mainland in winter, who have spent the best years of their lives in this dangerous service, who have always been very meagrely paid, and who have been mosé successin! during the

thirty years that they performed their dn ios faithfally in this mest important iblic service, having bat one mishap, in whom the pablic (whose unanimous vendic salways been One of praise and com- i{meodation) have always had the greatest contidence, should, without reascn, be placed under a certain Capt. McEHihinney’s authoriry, who knows less of the service than any one of the boat's crows, while

0 tauch for his services, due chiefly to his pluck, enderance aud cool judgment, is lentirely ignored,

a in conclusion, Mr. Editor, we protest { ist this Province being any longer a jdumping ground for political favorites, | whilst our best men are thus cooly treated ; and I woul! suggest that a series of indig- nation meetings be convened all over the Provinse, for the purpyse of strengthening the hands of our representatives by the strongest resolutions against this unfair discrimination between Capts, Irving and Mattart, and any other captain or man whom the Government wish to place in their stead,

Yours, &., JUSTICE.

The Capes Rovte Aga'n.

Sir,—Those who have a knowledge of the manner in which the Capes route has been perfected, by adding something year after year suggested by Capt. Irving, have looked forward with bright hopes to the time when it would be carried on to the entire satisfaction of its adherents by fur- ther additions suggested by the Captain,

And those best acquainted with the «ffairs at the Capes during winter, give the Government all the credit due them for first acting on Capt. Irving’s suggestions, made in Hon. J. C, Pope's time, viz. : adding a second boat to the service, and afterwards, through a further agitation, for expressing the mails from the bvard ice instead of waiting for passengers with the same trains, thus delaying and hindering the prompt forwarding of the mails as was previously done. For both these improvements the public owe Capt. Irving a remembrance, as without his constant agitation with those in influence and in the press, these improve- ments would have been very much delayed, and perhaps would never have been carried out.

We believe further that the publie meet- img called at Cape Traverse by Ouptem

Capt. Irving, to whom this province owes}

Irving,some years ago, to advocate either a small steamer or the large water boats, and a railway to Cape Traverse to assist in per- fecting the service at which ali the mem- bers pledged themselves to support the road, was the means of getting this branch built. These with other favors, the public neither forget the government for promotirg, nor Captain Irving in his untirinySzeal :o- wards perfecting the route for winter com- munication.

But why, Mr. Editor, does the govern ment, now that they have acied on Captain Irving's latest suggestion, by building the boathouses and adding another boat still, thus making the service more compile‘e, |dismiss this faithful pudlic servant and j place in his stead an inexperienced mate; i thus rendering this route to a very great lextentafaree. I think, Mr. Editor, when - | everything was workking in such union and harmony at the Capes under Ca) tain jirving. who nearly every day during the | winter did his share of the physieal work on the straits, thus farther encouraging the brave men who accompanied him, and whose experience cool judement and success have won for him the praise, as well as the confidence of Senators, members of Par- liament, Governors, Bishops, clergymen of ali denominations, and last but not least, ihe intelligent ivelling public, that the government committed a ve ry grave erroer, and a lasting injury to this important sr- vice by appointing in his stead an entire stranger to the service, and I do not hesi- tate to say an Incompetent man.

Verily Sir Joha’s right hand has forgotten its cunning. I fear if this appointment is not changed instanter, the Government will have another difficu!ty to contend with, if not so large in proportion much more intense in feeling than the French Canadian one in Quebec. As the injustice to this Province must, to every thinking mind, be so apparent, comment is unnecessary.

A CONSERVATIVE,

Shabby Treatment.

Sir,—A short time ago a paragraph ap- peared in some of the local newspapers, in which it was stated th t Lieutenant Iver, of Tryon, had gone to Fredericton to study in the Military School.

Such is not the case. It is true that Mr. Ives applied for enterance to said School, and was notified that he was admitted He at once made preparations, amounting to a coat of some forty dollars, besides cancelling contracts (being a mill-wright) and expected his transport in due eeeson. It never came. Enquirieshave been made through local officials, but no satisfactory answer returned, and now ove month of the three ;month term has nearly expired, which virtually means that M-. lves is to stay at home. Now, isubmit, Mr. Editor, that some one has hlundered, and that the public should know where the blame reste. Lieutenant Ives was ready with his brave company inet summer, at the call of duty, and was among the number called into active servics, although happily theend of the rebellion did not necessitate their leay- ing the Island, He is now about to resign his commission in view of the shabby treat- ment received, and No 8, of the 82nd Battalion will no doubs cease to exist.

Yours truly, Enquirer.

The whole district of Aroma, in New Guinea, is rnled by a remarkable man, who might pass as the idea! barbaric potentate. He towers over the heads of all his sub- jects, his strength is enormous, and his face is distinguishable by a mighty Roman nose. Old deeds of valor are chronicled by numerous tattoo marks upon his back, each signifying an enemy overcome and slain.

The Dake of Bedford writes to the Times as follows : ‘‘ There is a growing belief that Gladstone seeks to abandon the loyal Irish to the dominion of the disloyal. This obliges me tv ask myself whether the party allegiance to which I have ever adhered is not strained to the breaking point. Many Liberals besides myseif are eager for an assurance to the contrary.”

The meiric system of weights and meas- ures which was adopted in many labor- atories when first introduced, is said to be rapidly losing ground, having been the cause of many serious errors. The fact that the displacement of a single dot will turn a comparative'y harmless dose offmedi- cine into a deadly poison bears strongly againat it.
