Island, 16th April, 1889. J

This statement shows that the only differ- ence between the balance, as shown by the Treasury accounts, and that which would the estates referred to received payments in full, was the amount lost to the defunct Bank of Prince Edward Island. In other words the Province was, at the end of the year, better off by $12,995.74 than the Opposition leaders in the Legislative Coun- cil contended that it was! It is well for those honorable gentlemen that Mr. Kick- ham interposed his good oftices—making a reasonable and proper enquiry to which the

Government cou) re udily respond, and thus preventing them from doing the mad acé they had in contemplation and making 4

an exhibition of themselves before the whole country.

With the *‘inemo ” submitted in response to Mr. Kickham’s enquiry, the honorable gentlemen a satisfaction which was hardly consistent their charge (made in almost the same breath) that the publ accounts had been falsified.

Notes by the Way.

Crogsing over to Pictou on Saturday, I found the spring, apparently, about ona par with our own.

On arriving at Truro, our train crossed one bound west of Winnipeg, with several

Sunday, over eleven hundred emigrants of | all ages landed, having the same destina- tion. Among them were two hundred and fifty crofters from the Island of Lewis. They were interviewed by Dr. McKay and | others, who conversed with them in their mother tongue, much to their delight. These were the finest lot of immigrants ever landed here. Fifteen hundred more are due to arrive this week.

One sees on every hand the steady march of progress—the many fine ocean and cvast- ing steainships, increased railway facilities,

Halifax Hotel, where there are always about one hundred and fifty guests, with its modern improvements, good manage- ment and obliging staff, is very pleasant. Besides the many people arriving to build up our great Northwest, it is pleas ing to see the amount of valuables they are bringing with them. Four pairs of Clydes- dale horses were landed off the *‘Cerce ” on Monday which would please almost any- body. The owners were lamenting the loss of the best one—four years old, and weigh-

was docked on Sunday.

Some excitement was occasioned on Sat- urday when the Vancouver did not get the English mail, the contract having expired onthe 12th. It was despatched via New York.

The Liberal Government of Nova Scotia were Liberal to themselves on Saturday, in raising the sessional allowance from $400 to $500, increasing the expenditure $5,900. Last year, on the plea of a depleted Trea- sury, the teachers’ salaries were cut down $5,500, while our Liberals are endeavoring te be liberal to this Island by agitating for a reduction in the sessional allowance.

On the I. C. R. train 1 was pleased to meet Dr. and Mrs. Sutherland, former re- sidents of Charlottetown, who had many kind inquiries for their Island friends. The Dr. had a slight attack of paralysis of the brain while in Londun some four years ago, from theeffects of which he still suffers. Among the passengers returning to the Island was a young man who had leit home nearly four years ago, having been in several of the Western States, among them California, and having returned by British Columbia and the North-west. He says that many of our people who go west work much harder than when at home, and if the necessary money was forthcoming there would be alarge number return to their old

** Very bad ; nearly ruining my horse’s feet, They are always very sore after going home from town.”

‘What do you think is the matter with them ?”

‘*] think they call it greased heel, or scratches, and some say it can't be cured.”

‘Ob, that’s nothing. You get the MAGIC HEALER SALVE, and you can soon cure them. Did you not see the testimonials from Davies, Finlavson, Duff and Hocper in the papers a few weeks ago?”

‘*Why, no; I don’t get any papers now, so I didn’t see them.”

‘* My dear fellow, you go to any of the drug stores and ask for the Magic Healer Salve, and I'll guarantee that if you wash your horse’s feet at night, and rub the Salve well into the sores, they will be thorougbly cured in a week.”

** Well, on your recommendation I'll give it a trial; and if it does what you say, money will be no object. Good day, and thank you for the information.”

HE ABOVE HAS BEEN A SETTLED FACT FOR YEARS, and to keep before the pubic what is so well known to every good dresser in this ‘Province, may seem supertiuous. But as a good dinner tends to give a quietus to the disturbing influences within the inner man, so a thorovgh knowledge of our capabilities will give A quictus to »ayone who may bave had the good fortune of being dressed by us. The sun rises xnd sets, and it appears to the ordinary judgment that the sun revolves around the earth instead of the earth revolving around the sun ; so we, through the immence strides we |; © taken in our art, would appear to the uneducated to be moving around our many fricuds, instead of they moving around us; Jike the sun imparts its warm rays to revive drooping nature, so we are the benefactors of our people, by aiming high and attaining to a SVYLE and FINISH in our Garments, which cannot but commend us as the MERCH ST TAILORING PHILANTHROPISTS of our day.

Are you anx ous to test the foregoing? Come in, then, and see our line of Goods which are superior, in every sense of the word, and we will fit you out with a Suit which will doubtless draw the loving remark from your best girl that she has “the best dressed young man in town.” Call early, if you must. have it before 1st July.
