Mr. Palmer's Tunnel Plans

THe maps and sections mpanying the report of A. Palmer, C. E., are on ex- hibition jp blye print in the window of Messrs. Haszard & Moore. These ught to be of great interest to the people of P. E. Island, genorally, as they relate to the grandest work ever conte nplated in this Province, and one which, if c upleted, would relieve as effectually from our posi- tion of isulation, which relentlessly handi- caps us in every onward step in the march

of progress

But, unfortunately, theso diagrams co not fairly represent the facts of the case. The large disgram giving a section of the tunnel does not represent the tunnel de- signed and estimated on by Sir Doug!as Fox. This is simply a suggestion of 4 young and imaginative engineer, and is en- tirely different from the matured produc- tion of the renowned engineering office of Victoria Mansion. Fox’s plan provides special adaptation for drainage and pumping in case of an Paliner makes no provision of this kind, and an unexpected f water would resu't in the de-

male with utter indifference to these im- portant features.

The diagrain of the tides is fairly copied from Bayfield’s charts, and in ,this respect is interesting; but its bearing on the Northumberl snd tunnel is not apparent.

Tie Railway mp gives Palmei’s pro-

posed short line from Cape Traverse to Charlottetown. As the bridges alone cn this line would cost half as much as the

present entire railway system of the island, the proposal to spend so much money on an accessory to a work the chief objec- tion to which is its great cost,certainly does not appesr judicious.

The people of the island attach too much importance to the tunnel scheme to quietly permit it to be played with. The Govern- ment nobly performed its part in giving an appropriation sufficient for a complete. sur- vey, and we cannot afford to have this appropriation misused.

The Patriot s Ancient History.

it is significant of the falsity of its con- tention that the financial management of the Sullivan-Ferguson Administration was **most discreditable,” that the Patriot is compelled to resort to ‘ancient history.” Comparisous have over and over again been made between the results shown by the various Governments which have been in office in this Province since the date of Confederation. The whole subject has been thoroughly threshed out. The facts are well established that, whatever the Sullivan-Ferguson Admlnistration was not,

it was economical, and it left the finances of the Province in « much better state than it found them. In the interest of historic truth and the

honest ard ab'e men who formed the Sul livan-Fergusov administration, ic was, per- haps, expedient to expose the error of the infantile mugwuwp of the Guardian. Bat, apart from this, there is nothing to be gain- ed by referring to {records of eighteen or twenty years ago Mr. Ferguson would be the list man to attack the honored memory of the Owen Admin- stration, or to say that that administration, in the circumstances which then existed and with the lights which they then possessed, had not acted the part of reasonable and prudent men. Nor has Mr. Ferguson —as the Patriot aileges—attacked the Owen Administration. He has merely shown that, after the Davies completely upset the financial conditions of the Provinee, the Sullivan-Ferguson Ad-

Giving full credit for Sullivan-Ferguson Administration will not suffer by a comparison, if their extraordi- nary expenditures are also placed to their credit. They paid about half the cost of the Hospital for the Insane, they met the heavy loss resulting from the gale of 1879, they built the Stock Farm buildings, they buiit the Court House at Georgetown, they met an increased expenditure for education amounting to $40,000 a year, and as Mr. Ferguson shown, they, result of their exertions, enhanced the cap- ital resources of the Province by about $200,- 000." Still they brought their gross expen- ditures down to an average of $278,958.99

But it is hardly worth while to ransack the accounts of eighteen or nineteen years ago for the mere purpose of setting the Patriot right. The Provincial issues of the present are so important that we have little time to lose in the correction of the Patriot's historical blunders. It is enough that the people know thatona fair comparison of the financial management of the various ac- ministrations, that of Messrs, Sullivan and Ferguson is not “‘most discreditable,” but that,on the contrary, it reflects most credit- ably upon its members and upon the Pri-

The Patriot falsely says that Mr, Fer- gs0n included in the amount of $383,569, $51,000 odd, made up of teachers salaries for the last quarters of 1878. He did nothing of the kind. His statement was eminently moderate and fair, while that of the Patriot is evidently trumped up.

Notes and Comments.

—IJndividuality is never to become ec- centricity. Personality is never to stand for oddity. A strong personality is to be as a raountain range, composed of the same material as the plain, yet rising above the piain ; lifting the plain skyward, its high est peak hidden in ‘he cloud of mystery, its slopes resting firm!y un the solid earth. A strong personality isa part of humanity, but it seems to be more and higher than humanity, lifting humanity itself above its low-lying planes of being. Into this humanity yvu are sent forth.

—A lady, in Women’s Work, says: ‘‘ A few days ago I heard a gentleman of intel- ligent and sympathetic nature, speaking of the number of girls and young womenof this day whoare poorly fitted in physical strength for the everyday duties of life, and who have received no training whatever as housewives. I would not ask for the olden times when our grandmothers were weavers, spinners and toilersfrom early morn till long past candlelight; but what a blessed thing would be a return to their simple modes of dress and the heaith-giving methods which gave them their strength and power of en- durance. The invalids and semi-invalids among us far outnumber those possessing normal strength. 1 see no hope for this to change except through methods of home training and heme living. The midnight dance, the exposure of decolette attire, the torturing by tight bands and unnatural combinations, all tend to drag down the physical, mental and moral standard of womanhood, These are time worn asser- tions, and may be unpleasant ones to many; but conditions justify them. I plead for the weltare of our homes, and these evils are rob- bing them of vitality and beauty. Surely it is time that we, as God-tea:ing women, shake off these faults and declare for our loved ones and the right. Declare for home, and know that ours is the grandest calling on earth. Let us do our part cheerfully and well; then the question with husband and sons and daughters willbe: ‘What can Ido to keep our home always so bright and happy ?”

Chariton’s

Orrawa, Feb. 23.

After routine yesterday in reply to Mr. Davies, Hon. Mr. Haggart said that the rate of freight charged on the Inter- colonial Railway for the carriage of coal from Stellarton to Londonderry Mines was thirty cents per ton, and that the average rate of freight charged on pig iron on the lntercolonial Railway from Londonderry westward was $2 38 per ton.

Mr. Chariton introduced his bill to amend Chap. 33 of the revised statutes. He stated that the effect of the measure was to take away from the Government the right to deal with the export duty on logs and lumber by order in council and to vest all power in Parliament itself. This bill wili not become law this session.

Eight days ago the Hon. Mr. Foster de- livered his budget speech, and the business of the House has been practically suspended ever since, while the Ontario members have discussed the condition of the On- tario farmers. According to ths opposition speakers, there is no more downtrodden man on the face of the earth than the On- tario raiser of wheat and pork, to whom the inhabitants of Quebec and the Maritime Provinces are supposed to pay a large tribute. After listening to the wails of Mr. McMullan and others of that ilk, one’s feel- ing of admiration for the tenacity with which the native-born Ontario far- mer clings to the old home- sead knows no bounds, and he is led to enquire why the author of the Nat- ional Policy came to neglect the interests of this great body of the people, An an- swer, full, complete and convincing, was given to this question to-day by Mr. Smith, of South Ontario, himself a farmer and representing an agricultural riding, long held by the grits, who, in the course of an half hour speech, let the wind vut of the bag of theories trom which the opposi- tion talkers had drawn their information, and conclusively demonstrated that the Ontario ‘o mer’s prosperity depended on his own common industryandthriftand that the grumblers were made up of those who were too idle to work or had turned a willing ear to the talk of the dis- appointed politicians. Mr. Smith gave the facts and figures to show that the condition of the Ontario farmer to-day was far better than it was when the present opposition held the reins of power.

Mr. Chariton followed Mr, Smith, and drawing inspiration from the tact that he was talking on the anniversary of Washing- ton’s birthday, made a speech on which the New York Sun and other annexation papers can draw for campaign material. Mr. Charlton who had been promptly brought to book by the Finance Minister, just before recess, for some gross misstatements, resumed at 8 o'clock and talked until nearly 9. The American idea Was ever uppermost in his mund, as for ex- ample when he spoke of the state of New Brunswick.

He was followed by Mr. Wilson, of Lennox, who emphasized his statement that the coun- try had full confidence in the present admin- istration by pens to the result of the bye — held since the last session of the

The Crisp-Uurrie Case,

Crisp Acquitted by the Com- mittee,

ae ee

CURRIE APPEALS T0 CONFERENGE.

Sr, Jonny, Feb, 23,

The Crisp-Currie committee reached a decision last night. Oa the charge of adul- tery the Committee acquitted Mr. Crisp by & majority of three to two; on the charge of conspiracy the Committee were unami- mous for acquittal; on the charge of decep- tion and misrepresentation and falsehoud, the Committee by a majority of three to two found in favor of Mr. Crisp. The Com. mittee divided on the same lines in the first and third charges. On the conspiracy charge the argument for the defence was that no evidence had been produced to show that D. D. Currie was innocent, or that the finding of the Oonference in respect lo him was wrong, and that as Currie was still regarded as guilty, the conspiracy against him would not lie. . It was not conspiracy to assist in convicting a guilty man. This argument seemed to have prevailed. The prosecutor, Rev. Isaac Howie, Chairman of the Fredericton District, stated that he would appeal the case tothe annual conferenca which will meetin Moncton. According to disci- pline his revised case will then be heard by the full ministerial conference, numbering nearly a hundred, instead of by & committee, as when Currie was tried.
