THE STANLEY, AGAIN |

We hoped, this year, tohave been able to compliment the Dominion Government upon their management of the Stanley. The vessel bad been prepared f-r winter work and kept waiting at our wharves for weeks together. She was all ready to take the place of the Princess on Christmas morniog. It was supposed that she would come to Charlottetown until stopped by the ice. The surprise, and regret, and ‘ndignation of our merchants may be better *nagined than described when it was announced that, theugh the ferry boat con- tinues to ply between Charlottetowo and Southport, the powerful steamship Stanley, built for service in the ice, and maintained for that epecial purpose at a

ereat cost to the Dominion, was vaken off

wo Georgetown.

The loss of Charlottetown shippers on account of this change of route will, ue- eesearily, be great, while the gain to Georgetown shippers will be nl or al! but sul, There is little or no freight awaitic g shipment at Georgetown; many hundreds of We learn that there are

run. tapped in their winter trade; and they ought BOt to be, if it can at all be avoided, con)~ pelled to pay the extra freight to George wwn.

Enterprise ought, as we maintain, to be encouraged by the government of the country, aud the manage:nent of goverao- ment steamships and railways ought to be- constrained to keep the development of the industries and interests of the Province eoustantly in view. But here we see our Provincial enterprise and commercial development positively discouraged. Range lights bave been provided, and every facility is given for navigation between this por; and Pictou. Yetat the first real toueh of winter, and before sufficient ice has formed 30 any of our barbors rivers to bear a horse and sleigh, anc. while the ferry boat is still crossing between Charlostetown and South- port, the Stanley is takem away out of reach of those who most of ali need her wervice and whose enterprise givethem a apecial claim upon the consideration of ibe authorities.

It 36 possible, of course, that some ice had been driven up by the wind and accumulated in some parts of Hillsborough Bay—though we haye not yet beard a report to that effect. But admitting that this is so, the wind has changed, the temperature has gone up, and we may have a fortnight of comparatively mily weather. Surely the Government wi) reconsider the matter, and order “ The Manley” back to the Charlottetown- Picton route to stay as long as the weather will permit, or at Jeast onti] the pressure et freight bere has been relieved.

We learn that a special meeting of the Board of Trade was held tbis forenoon, and that the President was directed to send a telegram to the Minister of Marine representing the facts and requesting the return of the Stenley to this port. This has been done,and we are not without hope that the request will be granted. Certainly onr merchants have a strong claim upon the favorable consideration of

the Minister. + > a —What does the Guardian mean by exclaiming about the thermometer sinking w sero? The temperature here Lax not yet been within seven or eight degrees of zero.

NOTES AND COMMENTS, : —Peace and good will among al! classes except the competing Liberal candidates for a senatorship and the spoilemen who have been deprived of their fair share of “Government patronage” by the misrepre- sentations of “the other fellow.”

—The failure of United States bank® has not. even yet, been stopped. Is is an-~ nounced; that the one which closed it* doors in Philadelphiaa few days ago wa’ compelled to do #0 on account of tue thrinkage of the bonds anu notes of the Singerly pulp aod paper mills.

—The Monvirea! Herald says “there are asmany diseatietied Liberals as there are disappointed office seekers.” Le Soleil rays(hatin expressing diseatisfaction it voices the sentiments of the whole party in the district of Quebec. Evidently ail the Quebec Liberals are office-seekers, according to the Herald’s view. “However this may be the ladies were out of al] pro- portion to the quantity of soupto be dis- tributed.”

—Montreal Gazette: A tablet, giving the date of his birth and the time and place of his death bas been placed mm St. Mary’s Cathedral, Halifax, in memory of Sir John Thomp-on. Probably this and the stone on his grave will he all the scnlptured memorials that will be raised to one of the best and greatest of Canadians. Sir Jobn Thomp:on stepped into tue politieal arena a leader, and was immediately recog- nized as one of the fore- most of parliamentarians. Every session added to his reputation, which was won by sheer intellectual ability, coupled with a sincere desire to promete the country’s welfare. There was vo career in Canada like bis. Honors that others toi) for for a lifetime came to him in Jess thau adecade. He died full of honors at an age wneo many men are Only beginning their public careers. He was a man worthy of every bonor in life and in death ; yet of @ nature so modest and simple that if he could speak he would count the simplest memorial the best,and the plainest token of friendly esteem the worthiest means of keeping his memory alive.

ANOTHER GOOD CITIZEN GONE.

Died at*his residence, Avondale, on Dec: 2ist,in the 72nd year of his age, Bernard Hughes, an old and highly respected | citizes of that place. Mr. Hughes came | to this Island with his parents about the | year 1535 and settled on Pisquid Road, | Lot 49. At the age of 19 he married | Mary O’Keefe, by whom he had nine |

children—four boys and five girls—five of whom survive him. Three boys, John Hughes,of Avondale, and Dayid Hughes, of Carroi)’s Road, and | James, who is inthe United States, and | two girls, Mrs. Jobn Curran, of Union | Road, and Mrs. James Hynes, of Aljberry | Plains, survive him. His wife died in 1868, since which time he hveda wid- | ower bringing up eeveral grand-children. | Mr. Hughes was a very hard-working man | having cleared, or helped to clear, four | greenwood farms, duri:g his life.

GLENFINNAN NOTES,

Mr. and Mrs. James A. McDonald are tne oldest married couple on Low35. Ina month or two the fiftieth anniversary of the warriage willoccur, The old comple are baleand hearty still, and bear their weight of years well.

The bridges over the Glenfinnan and Jobnston’s Rivers are in a danzerous condition at present. Old fence rails can be seen stuck up here and there on them in the most dangerous places to warn the traveller. Now those bridges were rebuilt by the late Government and not one dollar has been spent by the present Government on them since their advent to power, Doubtiess these structures will go with the tide if not repaired soon. The atraightening of the road from G!enfianan Point through Bachelor’s Hill to the main road seemsto be now no more though this road was petitioned for by the people of Glenfinnan and on the eve of the second last Genera] Election about $200 compensation was paid to parties owaing land throngh which the road would pass. That’s all was ever done about it, and al- though the 101d was bought and paid for it must be bought again, otherwise do without the road. This is only one of many examples of the useless expenditure of the peoples money, afforded us by the present Administration. If eaid road kad been opened it would consid -rably shorten the road to Southport and also to the cheese factory.

Mr. John Currie is one of our pro- gressive farmers. He built a fine barn last summer, planted an orchard and in many other ways improved his place. “Asitis aot good forman to be alone,” we hope to soon see Mr. Currie take to unto himself a wife.

Much indignation is felt at the whole- sale slaughter of trout in the Glenfinnan. Although the warden is not tar distant, *ti:] nothing has been done to stop this ur lawfal traffic. If that sort of thing is allowed to continue this valuable fish will soon be exterminated. Our school under the management of Mr. John Mc- Donald is doing good work as can be seen by the large attendance and the progress made,

CUBAN REVULT,

New York, Dec. 21.—Copies of the statement signed by the officers of the Fourth Army Corps of the Caban Army operating in the Department of Las Villa, renewing allegiance tc the Cuban causes, and foreswaring autonomy, were received in this city yesterday. This action by the officers of the Las Villas departmeut makes the opposition to autonomy practically unanimous among the Cuban officers. The statement saye, in part :—

“We are convinced that the promulga- tion of reforms is an evidence of weakness onthe part of Spain and in itself a triumph forarms. Our fighting attitude will continue just as it is today until our unfortunate country is made free. We will accept no other settlement than that based upon absolute independence, which must be agreed to with our Government and the Assembly of Representatives.’’

Loxpox, December 21.—According to a despatch to the Daily Mail from Madrid, the Spanish Government has issned a ssmi-official note stating that the official investigation disproves the alleged ‘ortur- ing Of anarchists at Mon'juich fortress and that there is no ground fora revision of the sentences, ea sseiitienmdnctinoninnegaeieemnimirenaama ammdmecimimeemien
