LETTERS TO

1is

THE EDITOR.

Str,—On reading your remarks on my letter of yesterday, I was led to suppose that I had unintentionally reflected on the Dominion Government. I find on care- fully reading the letter, there is n t justify your conclusion that I ‘‘assumed the Government were to be blamed.” 1 cer- tainly had no intention of conveying any such impression.

Acting on the report of the Inspector, the Department of Marine could not pos- sibly have adopted any other course than the one pursued; but that there is blame to be borne by some one is abundantly evi- dent and to place that blame on the right shoulders is my object in seeking an investi- gation.

The case put concisely stands thus During the month of October, the Com- pany’s boats are running, and doing excel. | lent work. The mails are almost invari- ably strictly on time; freight is carried satisfactorily, an extra boat having been purchased and put on the route by the Company; the boats are under the management of their old officers, men who have spent a lifetime in this particular service; whose experience of the Gulf, whose knowledge of the capabilities of their craft; whose care, skill and ability to perform their duty, and whose kindly courtesy to the passengers entrusted to ineir care are unsurpassed,—I doubt if they can be equalled.

Yet, on the Ist of November, when the trade of the Province is at its height, the Company are ordered to discontinue run- ning their boats, and others much less efficient are put on, to the great mconven- ience and loss of our traders. This order was made on the strength of a report from the Government Inspectors, which report it is alleged was made from a cursory and imperfect examination, and is, in fact, a false report, unwarranted by the condition of the boats, which it is further alleged have been thoroughly overhauled and re- paired, and are at the present time in better condition than they have been for several! years. This is the case, and a very serious one it is, affecting not this Province alone, | but the whole Dominion, for if a report not founded in fact can stop our boats, the same may occur to the whole Mercantile Marine of the country.

That our commerce is to be at the mercy of an iaspector who may be actuated by a “malignant influence” as you put it, or by self interest or mere caprice—is simply preposterous, 1 have no intention of cast- ing the slightest aspersion on the character of the Inspector, but we have here two statements diametrically opposed to each other; the public want to know which is true. Have our merchants been put to

Tue steamer “Summerside” left Sammer- side this morning at the usual time. She will return this svening. The ‘Northern Light” and **Napoleon IIL” arrived from Pictou this morning. The ‘Northern Light” sailed on return at 10 o’clock, and the ‘‘Napoleon III.” leaves at the usual hour to-morrow morning. The ‘‘Northern Light” will return to George- town this evening from Pictou, and will leave Georgetown to-morrow morning at 6 o'clock and Pictou at noon for Charlottetown.

Proressor Foster, the eminent temperance lecturer, has kindly consented to deliver an- other temperance address, in the Y. M.C. A., this evening. Those of our citizens who had

serious inconvenience and loss to gratity the whim of an inspector, or did he| after a careful, painstaking and complete survey rightly report the boats unsea- worthy? If the latter is the case, then the action is justified, and there is no more to be said on the subject. If, on the other hand, the boats are found to be tight, staunch and strong, and fit as they ever were to perform the service required—which they have done for twenty years without the loss of a single life or a dollar's worth of freight—then an outrage has been com- mitted on the Company and the public.

I find, upon enquiry, that the boats could not be put on again this fall, even if per- mission were obtained to run them, there- fore a public meeting could not avail; still I think an investigation is required. Those whe suffer from the stopping of the boats will not take the trouble to find out who is really to blame; they attribute their loss

the pleasure of listening to Professor Foster last evening will not readily lose the oppor- tunity afforded them of hearing him again to- night. We hope to see a crowded house, and still more do we hope that these addresses of Professor Foster here will be productive of much good in the temperance cause. -_---@——_-

The number of immigrants that arrived in the Dominion during the month of October was 21,151, which added to the 154, 752 arriv- ed since the first of January, makes a total of 166.933 arrivals from the beginning of the calendar year to the end of October. During the same period of 1882 the number of arrivals was 153 055. Ofthe 166,933 arivals, 67,091 passed through to the United States, leaving the number of settlers in the Dominion 99, 842, as against 82,482 up to the end of October, 1832, or an increase of 17,360 for the ten months of 1883.

to its immediate cause—the order of the Department. Therefore, as I said before, the affair wears an aspect unfavorable to the Government, and it behooves all good supporters of the party to press for an in- vestigation, which, I feel sure, will change that aspect and clear away the dark shadow.

It remains for our representatives to ventilate this matter by instituting a Par- liamentary enquiry into the conduct of the Inspector, which doubtless will show that the Government performed an unavoidable duty; had they pursued any other course they would have converted an act of Par- liament into a farce- and satisfy the public by pointing out who is really to blame in this matter.

‘ag alarm rung for a fire in the rear of J. Knight & Son’s bakery yesterday afternoon at about 4.30 o'clock. The fire originated from the carelessness of a boy who, in lighting a fire in the store, unthinkingly threw away the match without extinguishing it. The lighted | match alizhted in a barrel of shavings which | readily ignited and before long was one mass

of fame. Fortunately, however, the fire was } confined to the shavings and was put out | without any other damage being done. What wonld have been the result had the fire got well under way yesterday can easily be im- agined. In this city too great care cannot be

| taken in the use of matches.

We learn that it is the intention of Mr. Lord, Agent of the Department of Marine and Fisheries, until authority is received from the Minister, to occasionally allow the ‘Northern Light” to ran between Pictou and Charlottetown in order to move the freight offered with greater despatch. It is probable that there will a daily steamer from Pictou the remainder of the season. The proposition made by the Agent of the Department is that a boat leave Charlottetown daily at 7 a. m. and Pictou daily at 10 a m., on arrival of the morning train from Truro. this arrangement can be it will enable the steamers to perform their workin daylight until the closeof the season. 3y it the Halifax mails, which are due now at seven o'clock, p. m., would not reach here until the following afternoon, at two o'clock. Howaver, Halifax would have an adyantage, as the mails which close there at seyen o'clock would not close until four o'clock, p. m., and then be forwarded to Truro by the Quebec Express, which leaves at five o'clock. The only draw- back we ses to the proposition is that mails and _ passengers would have to remain at Truro all night, but against this we would have the advantage of daily communication with Pictou. It is also proposed that the “Northern Light” and ‘Napoleon III.” each make a weekly trip to Georgetown. In making these’ar- rangement, which we think are very good one, the agent has consulted the interests of importers and exporters. If perfected, they willjno doubt give the utmost satisfac- tion to all concerned,
