The “Herald” and the Mails

Tae Herald questions the accuracy of Tue Examiner's statements concerning the mail arrangement Well, we prove them.

On Mouday, the mails go and come by way of both Pictou and Point du Chene.

Ou Tuesday, mails go and come by way of Point du Chene.

The Halifax mails going, reach Halli fax on Wednesday forenoon, almost us soon as business men are in their offices ; aud the Nova Scotia mails coming are made up in Halifax on Monday evening, | are forwarded by the night mail express | to Painsee Junction, and reach here on Tuesday evening. So that all purposes | are practically served as well on this as | on any other day.

On Wednesday, mails go and come by | way of both Pictou and Point du Cheue. |

On Thursday. mails go and come by | way of both Pictou and Point da Chene, but the mail by way ot Pictou comes to Georgetown, and reaches here at 9.30 the following morning.

On Friday, mails go and come by way of Point du Chene, the Nova Scotia mail going as on Tuesday, and coming direct, per steamer, by way of Pictou.

Ono Saturday, mails go and come by | way of both Pictou and Point du Chene.

If this statement of the arrangement be correct—and we challenge the Herald to. show that it is not so—TuHe Ex: AMINERS assertion that ‘‘we have a daily mail from al) parts of the world,’ is true; and, for practical purposes we are as well off, or almost as well off, with respect to the Halifax mails as if they went and came by way of Pictou every day in the week.

Now, will our covtemporary kindly point out how, with our present equip ment and under the present contract) with the Steam Navigation Company, a} better arrangement can be made with- out depriving the people of King’s County of the facilities by steani to which they are entitled? King’s County is—as the Herald has reason to know— avery large aud important section of the Island; and it is, in our opinion, well that the enterprise of her merchants is stimulated iv this way—well that they are enabled, if they will, to lay the basis of

lobtains in England, we must only stick

A Pleasing Tribute.

The name of Admirai Bayfield will long be known as that of one who did a great service for Canada; aud we are sure his ‘fellow citizens will appreciate the compliment from the Government ot his country of which he has received notice in the followi-g letter :

[cory] Orrawa, 7th June, 1884.

S1tx,—I have the honor to inform you that His Excellency, the Governor-General in Council andthe Parliament of Canada, having determined to cause a re-survey of the Georg ian Bay ard other Inland waters of the Lo- minion, a vessel has been recently purc>ased

a thriving trade, by means of steamers, directly with the mainland. We look | forward to the day when a steamer will) be plying between Souris, Georgetown | and Nova Scotia, just as a steamer is now plying between Summerside and Shediac; and it would, we think, be wrong tO improve tbe means of com- munication between Charlottetown and the mainland to the prejudice of our people in the Eastern section of the Pro- vince. In making demands for improve ments, etc., we ought to take great care to be reasonable and fair towards all con- cerned in them; for, by not taking care and not being reasonable—though we may perchance gain a present advantage —we will assuredly lose in the end; and, if Tae Examiner has differed from the Herald's advocacy of proposed im provemeats,etc.,it is,not that we are not as anxious for improvements as the Herald, bat simply because the Herald's demands have been unfair or unreasonable.

As to the late arrival of the mails— that we repeat is due to a cause apart from the slowness of the trains or the slackness of the Post: Office officials; and as Tae ExAMINeER’s protest against their late arrival was promptly followed by a manifest improvement—

as the mails now arrive on time—we deem it unnecessary to gratify the Herald’s curiosity to know what the

cause Was.

—

<-> - —- --——_ --—

for this service; and His Exceilency in Council, by their order of the 17th ult., have decided that the vessel shall be named ‘‘Beyfield” out of compliment to you, and in appreciation of the long and valuable services rendered by you to the shipping trading on the coast of Canada, more particularly on the Inland waters of the Dominion | have the honor to be, Sir, Your most obedient servant, (Signed) WILLIAM SMIFH,

Deputy of the Minister of Marine & Fisheries.

If we mistake not, Lieut. Boulton, for some years a resideut of Charlottetown, will command the survey to be prorecut-

ed in *‘ The Bayfield.”

One Result of High Licenses.

in Halifax a high license system has pre-

er gives this testimony: ‘‘One feature of the lig aor business which struck me particularly in this city is the wholesale Sunday trade. I would infer from what I observed that Sunday is probably the must profitable day of the week for the average saloon. A! the time of my visit, however, the license question was involved in considerable con- fusion. It was difficult to say who was licensed and who was not, or whether the trade was under the restraint of Provincial or Dominion influence. When order is evolved out of the chaos possibly a better condition of things may prevail, but I fancy the Sunday trade has secured a very firm foothold in Halifax, and will not be easily dislodged.

LETTERS 10 THE EDITOR.

Grit Free Trade a Delusion.

ACCORDING to the Patriot, Free Trade | is just now making rapid strides in the| United States. David A. Wells has said | it; and it must be so. Free Trade in Canada is, nevertheless, declared to be ao impossibility. Mr. Blake, the restive leader of the Grit party, proved this in his usual exhaustive and argumentative style, in his election card of 1882.

By the way it would be interesting to kuow what the present writer for the Patriot, in view of such high authority as Wells and Blake, meaus by his boasted Free Trade. A definition of it from him would be very opportune at the present moment. We may be permitted to say in advance, that the ‘“‘tariff for revenue only,’ definition will uot do as aD aoswer, as nearly every ove knows| nowadays that that does not imply Free | Trade. And everybody but the mest) politically benighted knows, too, that) the empty pretensions of certain Grit | politicians on the eubject, are a delusion | aoda snare. The majority of the elec-| tors of Canada has twice declared them | to be such; and as we are a self-govern- iog people, surely a popular verdict un- mistakably expressed at the polls is| werthy of our consideration.

. the laboring classes, us prevails in that!

couviry at the present moment. And in| the matter of taxation, which is after all} the lowest view to take of the question, | what do we find in Free Trade England, | where customs duties are charged, we | are told, solely for the sake of revenue? The public revenue of the United King

Hillsborough Street.

Srr,—Our Council undertook to repair a portion of Hillsborough street, which Ll acknowledge Ladiy needed it; but they have left it like a jackass with ove ear (the street, | mean), having built up one side and allowed the other to remain as it was.

The street to-day presentsa noble appear- ance. On the high side we have over a dozen pyramids of stone, and on the low side our lonely broken down cart, fitly illustrating the postion of our present Council.

I would suggest that the cart be left as it is, and a slab be placed at one end, and in letters of gold have inscribed upon it: ‘Sacred to the memory of our active Street Committee.”

Prairie.

Havine lately had many inquiries by | letter feom Prince Edward Island, regard. / ing the Indian troubles, I concluded to} answer them through your widely circulated paper, if you would kindly allow me the} space. :

The reports lately circulated are very} and settlers are not at all auxiois regarding their scalp- k cks.

Pie-a-Pot left his reserve about May 8th, with intention of joining Pas-qua in a sun-dance—which amounts to about the same thing as our Parliament-- but this being the season they should have | been at work on their farms, the Indian Com- missioner concluded to turn them back, as their guiog would certainly interfere with Indians who were peaceably working their claims. Hence, Major Irving, Commis- sioner, N. W. M. P., and Assistant-Commis- sioner Reid, with a squad of sixty mounted police, proceeded to Fort Qu’ Appelle, at which place they met Pie-a-Pot and his hand, seme eighty lodges; and, efter a talk of short duration, sent them back to their Reserve, near here, without any bloodshed or very warlike demonstrations.

Pie-a-Pots chief complaint was revarding his reservation, which he claims to be swampy and very unhealthy owing to the amount of siagnant water laying in the sloughs.

On his return he fenced and planted with potatoes twenty-two acres of land, and is now in town getting permission to look up a new reserve, which was promised him.

Mr. McKinnon, farm instructor to Pie-a- Pot, and formerly of Canoe Cove, P. E. 1, gave me an introduction to the Chief, and | had the honor of driving him areund for an hour last evening. He was very much pleased with my Buck-board and congratu- lated me warmly on my skill in reclaiming a very unruly poney—purchased from his band some time ago—for driving purposes

My opinion regarding Pie‘a-Pot is that he is a very shrewd and knowing Indian; bence looks out for No. 1 as any of us would.

The other chiefs Yellow-Calf and Long Lodge have also quietly returned to their | respective reserves.

Very respectfally yours, Daniet B. Macreop. Indian Head, June 3, 1884.
