The P. E. Island Raiiway
Tue suggestions offered by Mr. Richard Hunt are well worthy of favorable consid- eration by the railway authorities. In the interests of the railway itself, the straight- ening of the road is a matter of importance The strain of the rolling stock upon a

Of all the impressions made upon me as
a child none have been so lasting as my | recollection of a soldier’s funeral. I had | exceptional opportunities for seeing many. | Chat which impressed me most deeply was | not the military display nor the solemn! music, the drums draped in black, nor the | reversed arms, but it was the soldier’s cemetery, solemn and quiet: after the fune- ral was over, the long lines of graves (each marked with a wooden cross) that spoke with a pathos I still seem to hear. On each cross is engraved the dead fsoldier’s name ind the number of his regiment—but noth- | ing else. There is something far more touching in a soldier's funeral than in that of a civilian. I have seen strong, brave men standing by the open grave of a com- rade which they could only have dimly seen. The rules of the service require that they should stand very erect, with their! hands close to their sides, but I have seen
many a brave man bow,his head and wipe
the tears from his eyes. And, when the
priest had committed the body to its last
resting place, and said the last prayer, and
the firing party had performed its duty,
and the quick, sharp words of command
had recalled each man to his proper posi-
tion, and the band played a gay air as they
marched to the barracks, I always lingered
behind to see the little cross with only the
name placed at the head of the grave. I
have seen many of these last resting places;l have not forgottenoneof thein, nor
do Ithink I ever shall,—from the crowded
cemetery by the sandy plains of Aldershot,
toacalm, sweet spot in Lreland, near the restless sea. I have endeavored in the fol-
lowing lines to give expression to these re-
collections of my childhood :
A SOLDIER'S GRAVE.
Only a wooden cross.
But it marks the place where a brave, true heart
Was stilled, as it acted a noble part
Against the foe, in a strong, fierce fight.
And when it was o'er there had passed the light
From the life of a hero true—and his loss
Is marked by valy a wooden cross.
Only a wooden cross, Made from some wood that, yestere’en, For another purpose was used, I ween. But now tis high-honored : to be the sign Of a Saviour’s compassion and love Divine. And sin will no longer the body toss, As it quietly rests "neath the wooden cross.
Only a wooden cross, And soldiers bareheaded quietly stand Round that lonely grave in a foreign land, And a prayer for the soul of the gallant one Ascends to the Father who called him home. See! a drummer-boy silently plants some moss At the foot of the little wooden cross.
Only a wooden cross, Nothing to tell how he came to his death, Or the words he said with his dying breath. ‘Tis a soldier's grave. Such are thousands ~—unknown. Their glory?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR,
wiaatialione The P. E. 1. R.
Sir,—It is a subject of general regret that the people of this Province do not de- rive as much benefit from their railway as its promoters intended, nor as the circum- stances in connection with its construction and history entitle them to expect.
sy the Railway Act it was enacted that the surveys and location were to be made hy the contractors, subject to the approval of the Government Engineer, whose appro- bation was to be signified by signing the plans, profile and survey of the contractors and filing the same in the Registry Oftice. Most of the surveys on the main line were made at an inclement season of the year. Mr. Boyd, the Government Engineer, who was a thoroughly honest and capable man, was at the time in ill-health, and did not go over the ground as he otherwise would | have done; but, relying on the good faith | of the contractors, certified the alignments as they were presented to him, believing | that the best routes had been taken. It! was well understood that the road was not to be a straight one, but the many apparently unjustifiable crooks in it were a surprise to its advocates. The Dominion Government, by many, are blamed and held responsible for the curves! and other imperfections of the road. The prevalence of this opinion is an evi- dence of how quickly people forget the facts in connection with business which | does not pass immediately through their) own hands. It must be remembered that | the road was built by the Island Govern- | ment, and its responsibilities and manage-' ment taken over by the Dominion Govern- ment when we went into Confederation, | and that it was officered and organized for | business by the MacKenzie Government ; shortly after, and that they fixed the rates
for passengers and freight, about the same as was fixed on the Inter- colonial—a railway that cost = over €51,000 per mle, while the Island r:ilway, with all charges up to July, 1887, cost less than $18,000 per mile. In a few |
years the growing necessities of this wealthy | farming community will impel the straight-— eving and widening of the track, and until
that is accomp'ished, justice should be done
to our peopie by reducing the charges
at least to the extent of the extra
mileage. For example, the direct
distance by the old post road from Charlotte-
town to Summerside is forty miles, by
the railway it is fifty miles, the difference
at three cents per mile each way, or sixty
cents for the round trip between Charlotte-
town and Summerside. In 1886-7 there’ were one hundred and thirty thousand passengers carried over the 210 miles of P. E. 1. R. Say that 20,000 of these may be allotted to the Summerside and Charlotte- town run, a calculation on the above basis would show a direct tax or overcharge of. ($6000) six thousand doijlara a year between
these two points alone, besides the loss of
time to passengers who are compelled to | travel out of their way. The same griev-— ances apply to other ports of the line, and
to freight as well as passengers. Such a
reduction would not result in a correspond-
ing diminution of receipts; but on the con-
trary the increased travel, caused by the lewer rates, would, in my opinion, compen- ° sate for the change.
In the United States some railways, owned by private companies, deem it to their advantage to carry manures and fer- | tilizers from cities into the agricultural dis- tricts by rail free of charge. They get their profits from the additional yield of the farms, produced by these manures, and
which are carried to market over! the same roads. Would it not be well to endeavor to get the
government to do the same with mus- sel mud carried inland by rail ? Now, while Mr. Schrieber (who was the | princial contractor in the construction of the road) is General Manager of Govern- ment railways, would bean opportune time to
ters. His advice would carry much weight, and should be in the direction of redress- ing an injury tothe people of this Pro-’ vince, which he himself has so much profit- ’ ed by.
Hoping that the foregoing suggestions may assume a practical shape, and that more satisfactory Railway arrangements may be arrived at,
i am, Yours truly, Ricwarp Hunt.
