Tue following is a comparative statement | of the receipts of the Government of Cana-|
da from Customs, Excise and the Railway in this Island for the first four months of the fiseal year: -

INCREASES,
Customs Excise .. are Railway . 10,872.51
$41,397.30)
These figures are very cheering ; for they show tliat the depression has passed away, and confidence is restored.
But they suggest one or two conside- |
rations )
Are we not, again, rather overdoing the import business! And if so, would it be well to make the tariff a little more restric- tive? léhard times and bankruptcies again come upon us, will it be right to lay the blame upon the tariff? Or should we not rather blame the fatuity of a people who will have ‘“‘ribbons and furbiloes’” in spite of the tariff, and whether they ean afford them or net ?
in view of the large increase of railway receipts, and in view of the fact that the rolling stock is now insufficient todo the work according to the time table, should net the Railway Department, as soon as possible, supply the new locomotives, etc !

The St. John ‘“Sun” o handled Equality.
-————
2 Jug-
Ir is but natural, we suppose, that per- sons in the other Provinces should see no objection to jug-handled equality as hereto- fore practiced, inthe matter of appoint- ments, by the Government of Canada towards this Province. The people of the United States delighted in jug-handled Free Trade; and, of course, the people of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick think that if all the fat offices here fali to Nova Sco-
tians and New Brunswickers, while Island-|!
ers are denied reciprocity in official posi- tions, Islanders should not complain.
We confess, hewever, that we are some- what surprised at the course pursued in the matter by the St. John Sun. The Moncton Times took a proper view of the case, and expressed sympathy with the Island under its palpable disability. The other papers ef tie mainland permitted us to assert our olear and undoubted right without remark. But the St. John Sun has reproduced the evident misrepresentations of the Patriot; and the Sun is supposed to represent the views of the Liberal-Conservative Party - the Party of Union—the party which is utterly opposed to every phase of the jug- handled policy.
We beg to direct the attention of the Sun to the following facts :—
1. There is nota single Islander tn any office of the Intercolonial Railway.
We have made diiligent enquiry ; and if there is an Island offcial on the Intercolo- nial, he is so o scure that wo have been unable to find him out.
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 of promotion here, have gone to Ontario and the United States. One, who was only a
eonductor here, has risen in Ontario to the |
position of Superintendent of a private rail- way as difficult to manage as is tho Island railway ; and others hol@ lucrative and responsible positions on railways in the United States.
3. ‘very office worth having on the Island | the business of the Beard was brought toa
Railwy is held by a person not an Islander ; and weao not know of one instance in which an Islander has received promotion to

Previous to six o'clock the two night foremen, John Campvell and John Weir, came to the surface and reported the pit safe. At five o'clock the day men descend- ed, among whom were Alex. McKay, one of the missing, and A. D. McKenzie, who fortunately went to,the north side. Des- cending the pit they saw that the lamps were safe, the men proceeded as usual to their respective Works at twenty-five minutes to seven o'clock. Ross, driver of the fan,
roar proceeding from the fan, a heavy rush
of wind lasting two minutes, and a moment |
later the roof of the fan house (made ef plank) was blown into the air, followed by a quantity of brick from the west end of the fan house. The first party to descend was Joseph Hudson, John McKay, Fred Schurman = and a boy named Louis. At the foot of the shaft they met John Dunbar and proceeded southward to the big break in tho south side, there they found a man named Johnson, unconscious but living. Schurman and Hudson carried him to the foot of the shaft and took bim up, they then went 100 yards on the south side, Sthey found a number of dead horses, the party finding they could do nothing returned to the surface.
