‘ rr - % Tae Dairy EXAMINER. = : ; ee FEBRUARY 13, 1873. Tia Co3t of our Miil Sarvics. To show our readers the comparative cost of carrying the mails by the Capes and by the “ Norzhorn Light,” we exhibit the fol- lowing figures :— VIA ICEBOATS | Round trip toand fro n Cape Traverse $20 00

do do Charlottetown 8 00 do do Summerside 2 00 Cost per trip, $30 00

VIA NORTHERN LIGHT : Traius to and from Charlottetown $60 00 Service of men on ‘‘Northern Light” 25 00 Coal 25 00

Cost per trip $110 00 According to this, the daily mail which wa enjoy every day, when the Cape rout 1s taken, will cost, for six days, $180 ; while the three mails doled out to us weekly, by the ‘* Northern Light,” cost $330. ‘These figures speak for themselves. They shew how money is squandered, and with what benefit to the public. We are actually paying nearly twice as much for three maila by the ‘* Northern Light, as for six mails by the Cape Ice Boats. It is soine- thing very annoying to consider the treat- mend we are subjected to by the Vitawaautho- rities, and their wire pullers in Charlotte- town. The convenience of the inhabitants of the sland is no more consulted by Mr. McKenzie and his Governmen’, than if they had nothing to do with us, and had no re- sponsibility in our regard. How effectively we have been represented in the Dominion Parliament for the last four year!

THE WAR.

Tae news from Europe is_ still menacing. Turkey refuses to allow the British Ships to pass the Dardanelles, but tries the effect of a compromise, which will hardly be accept- ed. England is compelled, both by honor and her prestige as a great naval power, to make a strong demonstration before Con- stantinople. ‘Two war ships would hardly accompolish thls purpose, and, therefore,the announcement is emphatically made, that if the Russians enter Constantinople, England will force her way through the Dardanelles. This is patting the alternative of peace or war in plain terms. No efteption is made in regard to the peaceful visit, which Russia was said to be desirous of paying to the cap- ital of the Sultan. If Russia enters the eity at all, England will insist on being there to watch events, and adopt such measures as her honor and her interests re-

quire. —-— © a —— -

Tue choir of St. Peter and St. Paul's Catholic Church, Summerside, gave an ex- cellent concert last night, for the benefit of the Church. Ludlow Hall was well filled on the occasion. Mrs. Pennee directed the entertainment in her usual efficient manner. Messrs. Vinnicombe, Fletcher and Caven took part in the programme. Several tastefully arranged tableux were exhibited and met with hearty approval from the au- dience. Mi. Caven made a short address. The entertainment was most successful, and seemed to give great satisfaction.

Ow Friday night last a crowd of roughs took possession of the house of a woman named Weatherbie, between Dorchester and King Streets, and raised a general disturb- ance, which terminated before the Stipen- diary Magistrate to-day, in the woman being fined $6.09 for keeping a disordorly house.

Tus Northern Light is reported within a mile of open water. She has the mails on board—but it is satisfactory to know that if the wind changes she may get clear and give us, in the course of to-morrow, mails which should have been received here on Saturday.

DisorperRty Dervine.—The police have at last made an arrest for disorderly driv- ing. This is not before time. Our streets are every evening converted into a race course, aud rendered dangero.s for an in- active pedestrian to cross from one side to the othrr.

{i O. O. F.—Regular Convocation of 5‘ Port la Joie Encampment, No, 13,” to night (Wednesday) evening, at 8 o'clock. Visiting Patriarchs cordially welcomed.

MeDownaxp, who was arraigned for assault- ing Miss Mawley on Hridsy last, was to-day discharged, there being insuffgient evidence for the prosecution.

In the case of Carrol before the Supreme Court, the witnesses for the defence have been examined, and Mr. Palmer will ad- dress the Jury this evening.

Mr Eprror, —The way in which this Island is treated in regard to mails to and from the mainland is abominable. If [ am correctiy in. formed, there will be no mail received to-day agaia, as the ** Northern Light” 1s fast in the ice, and no instructions have been sent to In- tercept the uailsat Aulac and bring them to the Capes. Surely it is not necessary to wait a week before orderiag the mails to the Capes ! Where is our local Post Uthee Inspector’ he surely must have gone to sleep! Verily we are a long-suitering peo; l-.

The New School.

To the Editor of the Deamimer:

Str,—As the School Board and the citizens have been, and are at present, discussing tie matter of a site for the erection of a school house at the West End, | would hke to ask what objections (if any) t» placing 1t on the Eist Ena of Rotchford’s Square? 1 take it, the ground is ownel by the city, and would, of course, cust nothing ; that’s aaitem these hard times-—the position is bygh and healthy— Vhe ground in frout might be fenced in ant waiks m.de through it; if would serve fora play ground, &c. The new St. James’ Charch snd St. Peter’s Church close bya han.tsome

would, i think, add mach to the appearance of tais remote end of the city.

If we are bound to have aa extensive build- ing erected, why not have it where st will be an ornameut as wellas a useful imstitution, snd cost us less, at least the cost of ground. Any light upon this would be gladly reveived

Original Matter. To the Editor of the Examiner:

Mr. Eprror,—!t is amusing to see & corres- pondeat of the Patriot carpmg at the enter- prise of the UXAMINER in furnishing an Ottawa telegram daily. The letter is surely intended a3 a piece of sarcasm on the Patriot, but the editor is too dull to see the point; for after the flourish of trumpets with which the new daily heralded its own approach, one was led to expect something wonderful, but even its own friends must be fearfully disappointed. 1 suppose its lack of original matter will be faily atoned for, wnen we receive a mail, by the several co'umns of abuse of Mr. J. C. Pope, which the editor of the Putriot dignities with the title, “Our Ottawa Letter,” evidenty act- ing on the old lawyer’s advice to the younger one: “if you see no chance for your case abuse the other side’s attorney.” I am afraid, though, that if a mail does noz soon arrive the new daily will come to an untimely end, for it must soon use up all its old papers on hand and wear out the brain power of the literary marvel who called himself ‘‘Vindex,” and then must come collapse.

Keen Satire.

T'o the Elitor of the Examiner :

Sir, —If your remarks on the Orange Banner are displeasing to Orangemen, what must be thought of the following letter, from one of their order, which appeared in the new ‘** Daily” :—

Mr. Eprroa,—I see by last night’s Hcamin- er that its editor brings the artist who painted the Orange Banner severely to task for carica- turing Her Majesty. He is also displeased with some of the mottos, especially the one which asks ys to ‘“‘remember the deeds of our forefathers,” inasmuch as it brings to our re collection the manner in which the Govern. ment ruled Ireland. Really the man ia hard to please. The next thing we may expect from him wiil be an admonition to erase from Holy Writ the command ‘“‘remembsr Lot's wife,” and forget forever God’s dealings with , tke in. habitants of Sodom and Gomorrah.

Yours, etc.,

Sir DANIEL.

Ch’town, Feb. 12, 1878.

I was under the impression that ‘‘the deeds of our forefathers” were io be ‘‘remembered” in order that they might be admired, but it seems that [ mistook. Sir Daniel, the Deputy Grand Master, and at one time the Grand Lecturer, puts them in the same category as the sin of Lot’s wife and the abominations of Sodom and Gomorrah—to be ‘‘remembered” only to be zbhorred.

1 do nut remember ever te have seen any- thing so severe against Orangeisin a3 Sir Dan- ‘ jel'p keen satire. ’ Yours truly,

To the Editor of the Ecammer :

Dear Sir, —Will you allow me space in your valuable paper to bring before the notice ot our present Government, the absurdity of an appomtment made by that august body last session. The appointment of a ‘Tavern In- spector.” Now, Mr. Editor, you, as well as your numerous readers, know that the power vested in this individual is altogether of a | whitewashed nature, simply because his duties are wrzpped up in the simple performance ot linspecting the beds, bedding and outhouses /on the premises of the individuals who happen to be tavored with a visitfrom his majesty the Inspector. Now, Mr. kditor, if our wise lrulers had only vested in the duties to be performed by thia oilicer the privilege of test- ing the different kinds of liquor which any of the individuals he called upon had for sale, then they would hive done a judicious and praiseworthy act ; but, Sir, as you know, this has been overlooked, and to-day one-half of that called good stimulants is nothing more or loss than ‘‘vitrol.” The United Staves have their lager beer saloons ; and we in this country waat something similar, and instead of this poison we would have wiat 13 looked upou only as a beverage, viz., ale saloons. A drink, if not taken te excess, will build up the wrecsea constitution and produce a_ healthy state of things among our people; further, it is a beverage which cannot be—as one-half of our liquor is—drugged without detecting it.

Yours, &c., Buivur Reson.

Is Our Local Premier Asleep ?

T'o the Editor of the Examiner:

Str,—I notice in your special Ottawa tele- gram of last evening that a ‘‘Better Terms” delegation from New Brunswick is there. (heir presence there is no doubt caused by the Fisheries Award, and shows t.at they are alive to the interests of their Province. What is our local Premier doing toward securing to this island one million or more of the award, or what is the same, the interest on that amount annually which would amount to some 350,000 ur 360,050, and would enable the Local Gov- ernment to dispense with the direct taxation now inflicted on us. If the Hon. L. H. Davies had been awake, unity of action could have been secured with New Brunswick and Nova Scotia and the Maritime Provinces, whose fish- e:ies have been exchanged for England’s bene- tit. We would thus have stood a better chance of obtaining the amount awarded, which will in all likelihood be paid into the general fund of the Dominion, and Ontario, which has made no sacrifice, therefore get the greater slice. The Government should tir themselves at once, aud both parties in Pcal politics could unite in urging the claim of the Island to ‘‘Better Terms.”

Yours truly, TAX PAYER”

To the Editor of the Examiner :

Srtr,—One ‘‘Custos,” in your issue of yester- day, made statements which are not correct. in the first place, I did not keep a minature lumber yard in front of my ‘‘little piace.’ Before the advent of the Stipendiary Magis- trate, it was customary for dealers to place a sanple of their wares in front of their stores. This, 1 may say, is done to day in most of the cities of this Continent, as well as in London, Great Britain.

_ Ove day last summer my lad, without orders, in moving a load of shingles, had occasion to leave the loaded wagon a few hours on the street, but clear of the sidewalk. The follow- ing day I got a summons to appear, and, al- though I showed clearly that there was no ob- struction to the City traftic, [ had to pay $1.60 with costs, I did got use the words ‘‘ Custos”
