ibjiect of the Federated Provinces. We are told that he described the system of government of the provinces and how all classes and creeds were able to live har-

moniously together Referring to the Manitoba school question, he was of the Opinion that the difficulty would be settled without any undue turmoil. In Mr.

Fraser's opinion the chief evil Canadians

have to contend with is the high protective

. ; 7? > tariff. But as Canada has contrived, while building transcontinental and other rail-

ways, and constructing the best canal sys- tem in the world,. as well as developing a complete lighthouse service and taking the

foremost position among the colonies of the

British Empire, to build up a national credit eq ral to that of first-class nations, the protective tariff cannot be such a very great evil after all. It is to be

hoped that Mr. Fraser ir ypressed upon his

Baston audience the fact that the protec-

tive features of the Canadian tariff are

largely due to the continued attitude of

commercial hostility assumed by the

United States. We shal! have to protect and defend ourselves as long as the attack is maintained.

Inu the course of an interview with the Boston Standard, Mr. Fraser is reported to have said:

“Canada is cosmopolitan, but none the less sincere in its British allegiance. We look upon it as the cleanest, most content- ed and most honorably governed country on this hemisphere, and likely on the other. We haveabout 5,000,000 people spread over an area larger than that of the United States. Mostofthem are Eng- lish and Scotch, sturdy, ingenious, pro- gressive and peaceful people. Our schools are excellent; our penal and charitable ia- stitutions are clean and well regulated. In municipal politics there is a good dea! less corruption than there is in the United States.

“In regard to annexation,” Mr. Fraser went on, “1 think Canadians are contented with Canads.”

It is pleasing to note that the picture of a ruined, discontented, disaffected, dis- loyal Canada is not uow drawn by at least some members of the opposition when they go abroad.

OUR ROADS.

We were unable to publish the letter of our correspondent “Lot Five” upon the day on which it was received; and Jack Frost hae, in the meantim<« » atervened to improve the bad roads, of which he gives such a vivid description. Asthe roads have been at the West, so they have been in part of the Province in

same cause as our correspondent to de- mand a change in the road system. Under this system, a corrupt and uuscrupulous administration does as little as possible until election year; and then distributes public money right and left among the class of voters who are ready, in consider- ation of the letting to them of road jobs at high prices, to vote for the Government ciodidates, We hope that honest men in all parts of the country—imen who desire freedom, purity and independence of Gov- road?, men who wish to control the expenditure

ernment, men who require good

of the money they pay into the public treasury—will unite to abolish the system under which such corruption is possible, and to procure the enactment of a mea- sure, under the operatien of which the ordinary repair of the roada will be effect- ed at the least expense, and a permanent improvements in the roads most used will, from year to year, be made. -—— <3 —____.

A KINDERGARTEN.

pleasing tolearn that the trustees of the Wesleyan School Fund have decided to establish a kindergarten in Charlottetown. The kindergarten will be supplementary to the public school sys- tem, and will supply a wantin the com- munity. <A teacher (Miss

—We hear with regret of the death of Mrs. Neil McKelvie, which took place at Summerside on Thursday evening after a long illness. Mrs. MacKelvie was desery— ediy esteemed by a large circle ot friends. Her bereaved husband and family have the sympathy of all.,

—Minneapolis Times: “There is not much soundness in Victor Hugo’s conten- tion that when you build a schoolhouse you close the door of a jail. The people of no other country spend more money for edneation than the people of the United States; but crime has more than kept pace with instruction, and it is worth our while to consider whether this result may not be in some meazure due to the quality of the teaching.

—On the 3lst October the Merchant’s Bank of P. E. Island had loaned to the Provincial Government $95,350; and the amount under the same heading opposite the Merchant’s Bank of Halifax was $14,- 616, nearly $110,000 between the two. Let us see, was not the total) debt of the Province when the Debentures Act was passed somewhere about $60,000? Now it is the amount of the debentures afloat, the amount in the Provincial Savings Bank and the amount due the banks. A large sum, all told, no doubt!

—Mr. J. A. Maskell, writing to Tue Examixer from Boston, remarks :

“I went to hear Sir Williaunn Dawson at the Lowell Institute last night. He has just concluded a series of brilliant Jectures on the ‘Beginnings of Life.’ Sir William made a splendid impression on his distin- guished augience. For profound thought, scholarly research and masterful present- ation, his lecture has never been equalled from a Boston platform. Truly, the emi-

It records the tremen dows effect of the melinite shelis by th: French and the huge gaps made by then in the ranks of the enemy. One shel killed 33 men and another killed 18.

Buchanaland Chiefs Visit the Queen,

Loxpoy, Nov. 21—The Buchuanaland chiefs, Khama, Sabele and Rathoen, who have been in London for some time seing the sights and being entertained by distin- guished personages, paid a visit to the Queen at Windsor yesterday afternoon, and delivered their presents to tier Maj- esty, whe presented the chiefs with suit- able gifts im return.

resentation to Lord Dunraven,

Carpirr, Wales, Nov. 21.—A number of prominent residents of this city to-night publicly preeented Lord Dunraver with a silver model of Valkyrie HI. The inscrip- tion on the base of the model, which -was approved by Lord Dunraven, is as fullows: “Presented at Cardiff, Nov. 21, 1895, to the Earl of Dunraven, K. P., by his neigh- bors and friends in recognition of his gallent efforts to bring home the Am- erica’s cup.”

Terrible Fate of a Colchester Boy,

When the gun was fired the breech of the gun was driven back violently into his forehead over the left eye and remained there until the services of Dr. D, H. Muir were secured from Truro, who removed it and a number of fractured fragments which were pressing on the brain.

An Atrocious Chigage Murder, ~

Cuicaco, Nov: 21.—At18 South Clarke street early yesterday morning, Charles Noe recured a rope and throwing it over the gas jet placed the noose around the neck of his mistress, Annie Anderson, while she was asleep in bed, He pulled the rope, swinging the woman out of the bed into the air, Securing the rope to the leg of the bed he watched the convulsions of his victim, as she slowly strangled, When the struggles ceased the murderer stretched bimeelf on the bed and went to sleep. He has been srrested.

Canada and the Mother Country,

Loxpox, November 21,—Sir Charles Tupper addressed the Tyneside geogra- phical institute at Newegstle last night on Canada.” His address was larly de- scriptive and statistical. He strongly ad- vocated reciprocal! trade between the Brit- ish colonies and the mother country. Many art.cles, he said, Great Britain im- ported from foreign countries could be supplied by Canada, He contended that it was the duty of every Briton to promote between the colonies and Great Britain that connection he believed indispensible for their future progress and prosperity,

Spanish Reverses in Cuba,

Key West, Fla,, Nov. 21.—Passengers by the steamer Olivette from Havans last night report that General Antonio Maceo with 1800 men had a battle with General Navarro on the 17th instant, near Santa Clara, which lasted for 17 hours. The Spanish were defeated with 500 killed and wounded. Gereral Navarro, having been wounded, narrowly eecaped being captur- ed. The insurgent loss is said to have been very small. Havana advicea state that General Maxemo Gomez fought a battle with General Suarez Valacz, in Santa Clara province, The battle lasted several hours. The ineurgente finally de- feated the troops, seriously wounding Gen- eral Valdez and killing Colonel Alcave. Can Only be Quenched in a Sea of Bleod,

Loxpox, Nov. 21 —The Coustantinople correspondent of the Times telegraphs that a remarkable amount of sensational news is current, and it is impossible to sift the grain from the chaff. Disorder and bloodshed in the provinces are not ended. Measures for the restoration of order, like the reforms, came too Jate. he fire of frenzied excitement produced by Christian and Mohammedan agitators can only be quenched in a sea of blood. Shakir Pasha, imperial commissioner to supervise the Armenian reforms, telegraphs from Er- zeroum that Hushian Pasha, a Kurdish chieftain, who is also an officer in the Ham- idien cavalry, will be tried by a court martial for marauding Armenian villages near Bitlis.

Big Break in the Price of Bicycles, New York, November 21.—Henry Clews say that the so called bicycle craze during the last year bas been as prevalent as that ot the Kaffir speculation craze in‘ Europe, through whi¢h Barney Barnato is said to have madé himself fabulously wealthy. “It is safe to say,” explains Mr. Clewe, “that in the last four years the American people have paid out for bie. cles not less than $200,000,000, at the rate of $50,000,000 per annum. It is a well known fact that each bicycle costs the maker about $27, and is generally sold for about $100, consequently the growing competition in manufacture has reached a point where a serious break in prices may soon be expected, Should that make a panic in this country, because property which originally cost $200,000,000 is marked down to probably $75,000,000 or lees? For my part, I don’t see what Wall street interests should in any way be af- fected in the one case more than, the other.’ The Difference Fetween a Squirrel and a

-Man,

Lots of signs in nature point to a long, cold winter before us, The fur on squirrels is extra heavy this fall, and they are busy laying ina iarger supply of nuts than usual. And the prudent person takes heed to these signs and will try and arrange for his own comfort. Extra wraps are always a nuisance and are quite unneces- sary in these days, when a man cau have a Fibre Chamois lining put through his coat and vest without extra cost, which will keep out all dampness and not allow a single breath of cold air to steal through and rob any ef the natural heat from the body. nov23

| LETTERS 0 THE EDITOR. _—_-- &—

ABOMINABLE ROADS WEST, Sik,—TIt is my opinion that you people about Charlottetown, comparatively bed as the roads may be, have very little grounds for complaint. If you were only introduc- ed to the class of thoroughfare we are ob- liged to sail through, all further complaint would be knocked out of you. We have tio macadamization to sigh after—all “is @ne grand desert of mud. The beautiful supervisors of this beautiful Government spoiled anything in the shape of toads we ever had. Ifthey had left things alone this year we might now “paddle our own canoe” with fairly good comfort; but after they get their crop in and everything nice- ly fixed up at home they made a descent on the road precincts under their jurisdic— tion and sold totrue and tried henchmen patches andshreds here and shreds and, patches there, with sundry approaches to pidzes, with the result that August ard

eptember saw the repairs done which

should never be made later than June. Now that new work—slojp work at any time—is one great muck hole and every poor unfortunate wayfarer has to damn bis soul as we | asdestroy his gear and per

haps lose his horse getting through it

Our little supervisor laughs heartily at the straits of the public and pockess hi- money. “Never such roads before!” he vay#, and indeed that is quite truthful. It would be bard to get anything worre any where. Really this road boodling -and bungling is going to extremes, If we can’t get the road* work done early on un macadamized roads it shouldn’t be done at all.

I believe with you that that the road service ought to be released from political management. We should keep this im- pertant work in satisfactory shape. The present system is a dead failure. I'd like to see all the roads contracted for to be kept in good repair summer and winter. Much loss of money would be avoided, as well as a lot of tal] swearing, broken tack- ling acd broken hearts. At any rate a change is needed—any change will be wel- comed.

2+e+e- NEWS NOTES.

Tn his annual report the Secretery ofthe United States Agricultural Department points out thatthe gountry’s shipment of cheese to Great Britain is falling off. The prices and quality are also the lowest. He says that ia butter the country is out of the race.

Woman saffrage is being pushed vigor- ously in Idaho. There is a club in each county, and next week there is to be a state conference of representatjves of thee clubs held st Boise, for the purpose of forming a state organization and to devise plans for an educational campaign.

The Government have decided not to send an exhibit to the proposed Fisheries Exposition, at Kiel, Germany, next year, Jt is thought that the benefits, which would be derived by Canada from such an exhibition, would not compensate for the expense incurred.

A silver tavkard, with hinged cover and weighing thirty-six ounces, presented by King Charles II. to Sir Eimondbury Godfrey for his services during the plague

and the fire of London is for sale in London. Godfrey was the magistrate before whom Titus Oates

made hie declaration of the Popish plot, his body being found soon afier in a ditch with asword ran through it. All Eng- land became excited and ready to believe Oates’ infamous lies. The tankard has the royal arme and sceyes from the plague and the fire engraved upon it.

The wholesale and retail fish dealers of Montreal have forwarded a4 petition to the Minister of Marine and Fisheries, asking that steps be taken to protect their inter- ests. They state that the local market is flooded with immature fish taken from the St. Lawrence and the lakes back of Montreal. These fish do not average more

than one-eighth of a pound each. The petitioners urge that stringent amend~ ments to the regulations be adopted to prevent the catching and: selling of these fish. To thatend also, they suggest that a special officer be stationed at Montreal to inspect the fish offered for sale.

“The Railroad Kidney.”

Railroad employes, bicyclists, teamsters and other men who are subjected to much jolting, are often troubled with pain across the small of the back. This indicates the “Railroad Kidney,” an invidious precursor of serious illness. On the slightest symp- toms of backache take one Chase’s Kidney Liver Pill—one is a dose—and thus obtain nstand relief. For all kidney troubles hey have no equal. 25c. per box.

The New Yorkers are eager to believe that Sir George Newnes is going to send in a challenge for the America’s cup. To judge from the atate of feeling in Eng- land, the report is very unlikely. There has been 80 much dissatisfaction in con- nection with the last conte-t that it is well to let the matter rest fur a few years, until the foolish things, said on both sides, can be forgotten.

“To My Life's End."

Old age brings many aches and pains which must be looked after if health is te be maintained. This depends more than anything else on the kidneyr. “I am 85 years old,” writes A. Duftin, farmer, Aults- ville, Ont., “and have had kidney trouble

five yeors. My son advised Chase’s Kidney-Liver Pille, and I obtained im- mediate relief. I shall use them to my

life’s end.” You will find Chase’s Pills equally effective for that lame back.

INTERESTING NOTES FROM THE GAPITAG,

Proposed Change of the Route of the BS, Stanley.

Orrawa, Nov. 23.

Oliver Howland, of Teronto, T.C. Keefe, of Ottawa, and Thomas Munro, of Colem, have been appointed Canadian deep water- ways commissioners.

The Marine Department bas under con— aideration certain proposals with reference to changes in the winter service in»P. E. Island. The route between Capes: Tor- mentine and Traverse, only eight. -miles, would be the most. economical one. But unfortunately there is no deep water wharf at Cape Traverse, and therefore the 8S. Stanley could not land her passengers or freight. The Summerside people are anxious that the Stanley should run be- tween that place aud Cape Tormentine, the distance being. 18 miles.

A. Drysdale, M. P. P., Halifax, Edwin Ruggles, Bridgetown, and C, Chisholm, Sydney, have been gazetted Q. C’s.

William Smith, it is said, retires from the position of Deputy Minister of Marine and Fisheries. Among the names men- tioned aa possible successors are A. W. Ross, and Joncas, M. P.
