An Important Matter.

A question of great importance to the people of Prince Edward Island—one which should be dealt with in a practical way is involved in the loss, every year, of a portion of the water front of the Province. How can this loss be stopped ?

We have heard some person say that it is ** hardly worth while,” the ‘* cost of a breastwork will be too great,” ‘‘ a foot or two off the bank, dislodged every year by the action of frost and tumbling into the sea, —vé S¥S.does it amount to?”

In tasMircuit of the Province it amounts to a great deal. Anyone who will stop to think for a moment must see that if the loss of “‘a foot or two every year” be permitted to go on, Prince Edward Island will in the course of years be nowhere.

Thousands upon thousands of acres of

good land have already been lost to the sea. An illustration of the amount of the loss is seen on the front of Government-house Farm. ‘The fence along the shore has been repeatedly moved back, and the path made by those who go to and from Victoria Park is encroaching nearer and nearer upon the privacy of the inmates of the gubernatorial mansion. It is evident that, unless the projected roadway to the park bé built, or a breastwork be constructed, the fine lawn in front of Government House will ere long be at the bottom of the harbor, and the path and the fence directly under the win- dows of Her Majesty's representative.

All around our coast old landmarks are disappearing. The sea is even now claiming the dead who lie in some of the old ceme- teries.

On the other hand,there are being thrown7 ap, in some places on the North side, great hills of sand, under which arable land is buried.

Altogether the loss, on the one hand and on the other, is so considerable as to justify owners of land bordering upon the sea shore in giviog the matter their serious consider- ation. Our fathers subdued the forest and battled with the landlords ; and shall w® let the sea take foot after foot of the good land which they won?

Whole districts of Holland have been saved from the sea at enormous expense ; and our seil is worthier to be saved than that of Holland. It would, in our opinion, pay every farmer who has land bordering on the shore to build a breastwork for its protection. But the annual loss may, per- haps, be stopped by the adoption of a sim- pler and cheaper plan. We shall be happy to receive suggestions respecting operations

in this important matter. —_-- --——-- deo@e

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. The Missing Hounty Claims.

Sir,—In last Saturday's Patriot there appears a long riemarole, evidently written by the resident M. P. himself, about the missing Bounty claims. A tempest is being roised, he says, by the Conservatives here

Well, we are of opinion that it is high time that some one should take the matter up. We have a representative, Dr. Mclutyre, who goes to Ottawa once a year. He is the proper person to look after the interests of the people of King’s County. It was his duty to look after the fishermen’s bounty. He was in Ottawa for three months after the bounty claims were due there. He was frequently seen around the Department haunting up doubtful Grit claims. Why did he not enquire about tbe claims from Souris and vicinity? He must certainly have known then, and ever since, that Foley had not forwarded the claims. But what does he care for the fishermen so long as he can make a point, 20 matter how un- fairly, against his political opponents and the Government. The fishermen here would have known nothing yet about Mr. Foley’s negligence only fur Dr. Muttart and John McLean, M. P. P., who telegraphed to the Deputy Minister of Fisheries to know the cause of the delay, and no one was more surprised than they to learn that no claims had been received at the Department from Mr. Foley for last year’s bounty.

The Patriot writer wants to know why Dr. Muttart did not communicate earlier withthe Department. This, appearing in a Grit paper, is most certainly a bad ‘‘give away,” especially as it comes from one who is well paid for looking after his constitu- ents. If Dr. Muttart is supposed to look after the fishermen’s bounty, then, accord- ing to Dr. McIntyre, Dr. McIntyre is only a sort of figurehead, and the sooner there is a change of representatives the better for the people of the County.

In concluding, he expresses great inter- est in the Sub-Collector. I am sure he loves Mr. Foley very much, and it would be very unfairto say that the love is not mutual. If an investigation is now going on with the view of having the bounty paid, the fishermen need not thank Dr. Mcintyre for it. We have reason to be- lieve that not one cent of bounty, so long overdue, will remain unpaid on account of the conduct of the Sub-Collector here. It he has neglected his duty, the fishermen uust not be losers in consequence.

Ireland's Pestilential Prisons. A LIVELY DEBATE IN THE BRITISH OF COMMONS-—THOSE WHO HAVE THERE.

HOUSE BEEN

THERE was a lively debate on the prison’s vote in the British House of Commons a few nights ago, when an attack was made upon the treatment of Lrish political pris- oners.

Mr. Blaine gave his experience in Lon- donderry jail. He declared that sick pris- oners were never sent to the hospital until they were nearly dying. He had seen prisoners arrive covered with vermin. The closets were filthy. He and other prison- ers had been exhibited from the balcony to lady friends of officials. He had never complained because he knew it was useless to do so.

Mr. Sexton described the Londonderry jail as a pest house, where prisoners con- tracted fever and were thrust out to die. He detailed one case of fever, amid groans from the Parnellites, who cried out, ** An- other murder,” ‘* There’s the assassin.” This incited Mr. Balfour to smile. Mr. Balfour said that long familiarity with such attacks induced contempt. He then adduced statistics to show that there was a lower rate of mortality in Irish than in English prisons.

Mr. Parnell, in the course of his speech, contended that oakum-picking was 11l-paid work, and an endeavor was made to com- pensate even for this outlay by reducing the food supply. The result was perma- nent enfeeblement of the prisoner. For himself, he was convinced that the Irish prisoners were half starved. They ought to be provided with more rempnerative work and should be better fed. All the older prisons are in a bad sanitary condi- tion. He had himself seen in the older part of Kilmainham jail, the liquid sewage leaking through the foundations of the walls and bursting into the very yard. Hewascon- vinced that Derry prison required to be en- tirely rebuilt; etherwise its objectionable condition is irremediable. The medical of- ficers tried to hide the fact of existence of fever under the medical name of ‘* tuber- culosis.” The Parnellites would force this question until justice was obtained.

The prisons vote was adopted. 113 to 69, and all the other votes were agreed to.

NOVEL AND BRILLANT BALL BY MRS. VANDERBILT AT NEWPORT.

Mr. and Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt gave a zrand ball in their new stable at Newport, R. : a few nights ago. The ball was in every respect a brillant affair. The decorations were decidedly govel. Red peppers, pump- kins, squashes, turnips and egg-plants were heag upon the ceilings and upon huge tropi- cal plant» as well. The sides were covered with oak leaves, and at given intervals there were floral horse collars and yokes. Some ot the floral designs represented bits of harness. fhe ball room, which will soon be used for carriages, was festooned with garlands of laurel leaves and oak leaves. wo floral wheelbarrows held the favors for the german, one being on each side of the room. Small tables were placed in the stalls, and on these supper waslaid. The eating troughs were filled with flowers and bunches of wheat were backed up against the entrances and tied with ribbons. Corn stalks in huge bundles, also tied with ribbons and just cut, w.rs placed against each of the columns in the ball room. The favors were very rich and _ original. The ladie carried long shepherd’s crooks, the handies being pure white, while the ends were gilded. The effect was very fine.

A Round Trip.

1 promised to give you a few notes by the way. In order to fulfil that promise I will now proceed as briefly as possible. Leaving Charlottetown Thursday morning by way of Point du Chene we eail at Moncton, and by seven o’clock we find ourselves in Sack- ville, the guest of Mr. Alex. Watts. Next morning after visiting the chief points of interest we start off again. As we pass through the Tantramar Marshes we have a fine view of the Chignecto Ship Railway now under cunstruction. Fartier along we come to the beautiful Wentworth Valley and Folly Lake. After picking up the Pictou passengers at Truro we arrive in Halifax on time, where we are kindly welcomed by the Railway Convention Coin- mitte, each wearing a neat badge ‘of red. We become the guests of Mr. Kdward Stockall, of whose kindness and that of his wife we cannot speak too highly. At 8.50 we make a very pleasant visit to Richmond Division of the Sons of Temperance. Next morningj Saturday, the Convention was opened with a prayer and praise meeting and in the afternoon a Gospel meeting was held. The welcome meeting, although raining at the time, was well attended. Rev. Mr. Meikle occupied the chair. Ad- dresses of welcome were made by Rey. D. Sutherland for the churches, Alderman Mosher for the city, Ex-Mayor MelIntosh for the Y. M. C. A., and Mr. G. H. Me- Kinley for the resident railway men. Addresses in reply were made by the following visiting railway men: J. J. Chappell, Charlottetown; J. C. Moore, CUampbelton ; Alex. Wilson, Bridgewater; William Yoult, Kentville; Henry Sutherland, Summerside, and Ross Cummings, Truro; also by John McPher- son, president, Rev. Mr. Ackman, and Mr. Meikle, On Sunday morning we heard the Rev. Dr. Nob preach his farewell ser- mon in St. Paul’s Church. On the way to church we witnessed the usual Sunday par- ade of the regular army to the garrison chapel, accompanied by two bands. At 4 o'clock a gospel meeting was held in Kaye Street Church. Mr. Meikle also preached in this church in the evening, and conduct- ed an after-meeting at the close. On Mon- day morning a devotional meeting was held followed by a business meeting. The of- ficers of the convention for 1889-90 are as follows : —

President —William H. Dymond, mond,

Secretery—J. I. Faulkner, Truro.

Vice-Presidents—David McLeod, fax; G. N. McKinley, Richmond; Ross Curamings, Truro; Arthur Stockal!, Mone- ton; James Cameron, St. John; John Cant- ley, Campbelton; J. Hill, River du Loup; Alex. Mitchell, Stellarton; Duncan MeLel- lan, Sydney; John McPherson, Charlotte- town; Henry Sutherland, Summerside; William Yoult, Kentville; Alex. Wilson, Bridgewater.

The next meeting of the Convention will be held in Truro in August next. The visiting delegates were treated tu a driye around the city, visiting the public gardens, the park, the North-west Arm, the Y. M. C. A., the Sailors’ Home and other points of interest. The farewell meeting was held on Monday night in Kaye Street Church. The meeting opened with a short lecture by Mr. Meikle on The Tabernacle, illus- trated with some fine sketches, and closed with appropriate addiesses by the clergy and several of the delegates. Mr. Meikie sany, ‘*On Jordan’s Dark and Stormy River,” and Mr. Falconer sang ‘ God be with you till we meet again,” the audieuce joining in the chorus. ‘he convention then closed, all kneeling and repeating the Lord’s Prayer and singing ‘* Blest be the tie that binds.” On Tuesday morning we are again on board the I. C. B., and after a very pleasant run to Pictou, we board the island steamer and reach Charlottetown about six, C.
