The Halifax ‘‘Herald” on the Unexpected Change.

In the Halifax Herald there is an article entitled ‘‘ Knownothingism.” Judging by the article itself, we should say that no paper in Canada could more appropriately use such a heading.

It is evident that the @erald knows nething whatever of the grounds taken by the xsMINER anent the recent change ; for the Herald says, in effect, that the Ex- AMINER simply opposes the appointment of Mr. Archibald, because Mr. Archibald is a native of Nova Scotia.

This statement is as far from the truth as it possibly can be :

Whon the unexpected news of Mr. Archi- bald’s appointment came to this Island, by means of the Monclon Times, we at once

remarked that althongh there was to be}

a general promotion of the officials of the Intercolonial, there was ‘‘ not a hint or

The Colliery Disaster.

CITIZENS’ MEETING —RELIEF COMMITTEES AP- POINTED—'' STRIKING THE IRON WHILE Hor.”’

A small but enthusiastic meeting of citi zens was held ia the City Council Chamber last evening, for the purpose of raising a fund for the relief of the sufferers by the Colliery disaster at Stellarton, N. 5. Worship Mayor Dawson Chairman, and Mr. P. MeQuaid, Secretary to the meeting. The Chairman, after

stating the object of the meeting, expressed |

regret that the attendance was not larger He believed that the disagreeable weather prevented many from coming, while others were, doubtless, assisting at the Concert ‘given for a charitable purpose in the Drill ‘Shed. He made a brief appeal to the |meeting on behalf of the sufferers, and ex- ‘pressed confidence that something hand- ‘some would be done by them to aid their ‘unfortunate fel:ow beings in Stellarton. Frederick De St. C. Brecken, Esq., M. 'P., Judge Alley, Rev. K. McLellan, Chas. ' Palmer, Esq., B. Wilson Higgs, Esq., L. L.

even a suggestion that any Islander or other | Beer, Esq., and Messrs. Alex. McKinnon,

member of the Island “Railway staff was to) R. F.

rofit by the change ;’ and we thereupon laid down the proposition that “‘ as we are ene with Canada, equal rights with other Canadians in other Provinces ; and that if these rights are de- nied, discoutent and its kindred evils will follow.” ;

Can the Herald prove that this 1s not @ reasonable proposition, consistent with the facta of history? If it can, we shall give up this case. If it cannot, then the Herald should be content to have yielded to Island- ers, all we claim for them ; viz, perfect equality with citizens of the other Provin- ces anil fair play.

The Halifax /erald, we venture to say. has not the hardihood to say that the fol lowing state of facts is fair to this Pro- vince :—

l. There is not a single Islander in any office of the Intercelonial Raihoay.

2. The Island Railway has been in opera- tion six years; and all that time intelligent Islanders have been in training in railway work. Some of these men, despairing ot pro- metior here, have gone to Ontario and the United States. One, who was only a conduc- tor here, has risen in Ontario to the position of Superintendent of a private railway as difticu!t to manage as is the Island railway ; and others hold lucrative and responsible positions en railways in the United States.

3. Every office worth having on the Island Railway is held by a person not an Islander ; and we do not know of ene instance in which an Islander has received promotion to any of the higher offices.

All that we want, and this we shall have, is to have this evident unfairness reme- died.

We care not how it is done. Let us have competitive examinations for the Service— let merit be the test—and Islanders will win the best offices onthe Railways of Canada, as they have won the highest places in the Colleges of Canada.

The Halifax Herald should see that, in taking this stand, we are not for excluding the natives of other Provinces from ottices in this Island. We have repeatedly said that ‘‘if recivrocity in these appointments had ever been recognized we should not have complained.”

The Halifax Herald shouid also see that

so we are entitled to!

DeBlois, F. Herbert Beer, Aibert Simpson, John McPherson, A. McNeill, ad- dressed the meeting, expressing sympathy with the suffering, and suggesting means for their immediate reliet.

On motion of Charles Pelmer. Esq., seconded by F. De St. C. Brecken, Esq., it was unanimously agreed that a subscription list be opened for relief of the sufferers. The heading of the list read :—

We, the undersigned, hereby promise to pay to the Committees to be appointed at this night’s meeting of the citizens of Charlotte- town for the relief of the sufferers by the late calamity at the Coal Mines of Stellarton, the respective amounts placed opposite our names, to be expended ia such manner as the Com- mittee shall see fit for the support of the widows and orphans of those who have been killed.

On motion of Charles Palmer, Esq., seconded by Fredk. Brecken, Esq., it was unanimously

Resolved, That two committees be appoint- ed, one to solicit subscriptions from citizens of Charlottetown; the other to solicit subscrip- tions in produce, etc., from countrymen. Committee for city subscriptions:— Mayor Dawson, Messra. Geo. Peake, B W. Higgs,

R. F. DeBlois, John Ball, L. L. Beer, Geo. Bremner, Owen Connolly, George

Davies, John Hughes and William Murphy. Committee for country:—Messrs. Richard

Heartz, Geo. Lewis, Patrick Blake, J. D. MeLeod, Donald Farquharson, Robert

Brydges, A. B. McKenzie, Albert Simpson, and James J. Gay.

On motion of Mr. F. H. Beer, seconded by Charles Palmer, Esq., the following committee was unanimously appointed to hold a concert in aid of the sufferers :— Prof. Earle, Messrs. Benj. Bremner, F. Mitchell ond F.. H. Beer.

On motion of Mr. Alex. McKinnon, sconded by L. L. Beer, Esq., Messrs. Geo. Bremner and Patrick McQuaid were ap- pointed a committee to draw up placards, appealing to farmers and others for relief. The meeting then adjourned sine die.

The value of goods taken by the Island

in taking this stand we are not battling for the rizht to promotion of Islanders only, but alse for the right to promotion of all officials on the Island. At present, once an official comes here, he is shelved. There is nce more chance for him to rise than for the horse working in a treadmill to run away So far, then, from opposing the interests of Mr. Archibald and other officials who are not Islanders, we are actually advancing them ; We are, atthe same time, promoting, not tlie isulation of the Island, not section- alism, but the Interprovincial Intercourse which is one of the cardinal principles of the present Goverament, and the mutual sympathy which is necessary to the stabili- ty of the Union. ~~ >o—_—_ —— The Correctional Tribunal of Paris has assed sentence upon the iadividuals who obstructed the police of Paris in the execu- tion of the decrees against the unauthorized societies, among them M. Cochin, to one menth’s imprisonment, Viscounts de Las- sus aad Amelot and the Marquis de Boishe- ber to imprisonment for a fortnight.

The arrival of French monks at Alicante and Barcelona caused hostile popular de- monstratieons. They were compelled to re- embark from the latter place. Certain of the Jesuits having attempted to re-enter Portugal the government has instructed the various Governors to strictly enforce the decree of 1834 abolishing all religious orders.

The commander of the troops in the St. Petersburg district has confirmed the sen- tences of the convicted Nihilists, with sliglit mitigations. The Czar has commut- ed the sentence of death passed upon three of the prisoners to imprisonment for life.

The Court of Appeal at Rome has con- firmed the judgment of the Court of the First Instance declaring the property of the Propaganda Fide to be subject to con: version by the Council of Liquidation in the same manner as that of other religious ass ciations.

In France many professors of the art of cooking feed afamily for so much a day an am additional sum foreach guest. They bring the provisions, submit a menu, which

steamers to Point Du Chene from this port, for the week ending November 17th, amounted to $6,463.

The steamer Miramichi took from this port on Monday last 1600 barrels of oysters, valued at $2,800.

The schr. Maud B. Wetherell, Hontevet, master, arrivea from Portsmouth, U.S., on the 12:h, with 1000 barreis of apples. Large quantities of oats have been com- ing inte town during the past few days. On Wednesday moruing a special train of 14 cars, loaded with oats, arrived for Alberton.

The schr. Annie Eliza, Dorr, master, cleared from this port on the 16th from Providence, R. L., with 4,549 bush. pota toes, and 36 bbls. mackerel, valued at $4,840. D. Rogers, Esq., was the shipper.

The brigt. ‘‘ Brenda,” Buckley, master, cleared for Queenstown on the 17th, with 21,400 bush. oats and 10,000 square feet deals, valued at $8,854, shipped by Hon. Wm. Richards, Bideford.

On the 17th, the Etta Watt,” Watt, master, cleared for Barbadoes, with 7,777 bush white oats and 4,580 square feet lumber, valued at $4,194, shipped by R. T. Holman, Esq.

Qn Saturday night last,a man named Richard Johnston, of Middleton, Lot 27, met with a serious accident, within a short distance of this town. He fell from his waggon, the wheel of which passed over his head, cutting it badly. He was remov- ed to a house near by, in an unconscious condition, where his wounds were attend- ed to.

The tank on the corner of Central and First streets, for supplying water in case of fire, has been completed. As was pre- viously announced, the tank could not be dug the 14 feet agreed upon, but instead has been made 18x 30 feet, with a depth of 6 feet. This tank will contain about 20,000 gallons of water. The sides and bottom are built of brick and cemented ; a double floor of thick plank is laid over the top and covered with a foot of earth. The work reflects much credit upon the con- tractor—Mr. Samuel Rodd.
