. , . if Patriot, replying for and on behalf!
some questions
of Sir Louis Davies to propounded by Tue EXAMINER, assures the public that the work of straightening the eurves on the P.E. Island Railway will be proceeded with, including, we presume, the very charp curve at Harmony, vulgar- ly Known as **Davy Laird’s curve;” that the survey of the Southern Railway is a hona fide one, and that the construction of the road will be provided for; that the harbor works at Summerside are not “a pogus affair”—the materials will be pro- vided next winter; and. that cold storage and direct communication between Prince Edward Island and Great Britain depend merely upon the formation here of a Cold Storage Company. These assurances are} satisfactory.
Perheps the Patriot will now let us know what Sir Louis says the Government will do about the Arbitration Commission as-to the claims of this province, on the strength of ,which, mainly, the Hon. Frederick Peters triumphed in the recent
PPovincial election ?

* LABOR IN THE STATES.
-
Sratistics lately gathered by the govern— ment of the United States show that the
| fact that Sir Wilfrid Laurie’s represeata—
lowest class of laborers, reckoned accord- ing to the rate of their earnings, is steadily decreasing. while the higher classes of workers, wages considered, are as steadily increasing. Labor Commissioner Carroll D. Wright has bronght out.this important fact in # striking manner in an article in the Atlantic Monthly for August, In __ this article he arranges the population of the Great Repnblic in four groups. Of one group of the population, composed of farmers and
planters who are proprietors, of bankers, |
brokers, manufacturers, merchants and

A PRIEST’sS DEVOTION,
The Daily Mail save: News baa just been received in London of the death of the Rev. George Rigg, Roman Catholic priest of the parish of Dalibrog, in South Uist, ove of the Outer Hebrides, Father Rigg met his death owing toa devotion not less than, if not ot so great a magnate as that of the renowned Pere Damien. The family of one of his parishoners a Hebridean Cottar, consisting of the man, his wife and child, were all attacked by typhus fever at one and the same time. The neighbors were loath to approach the

THE CANADIAN HOME
JOURNAL
The September numberof Tue Canap- 1AN Home Journna., beyond its character- istic name, bears very little resemblance so Tne CanapiaN Home Jovrnat of the past two years. Itis under an entirely new management, and nothing will be epared in making it indispensible to every Canadian woman, in every Canadian home, and of which every Canadian jour- nalist may justly be proud. The current number contains, among many other things, the first of a series of articles on the old families of Canada, illustrated, and intertainingly written by the celebrated art critic and elocutionist, Miss® Alexand- ring Ramsay ; a very graphically written ak«tch ofa trip from Toronto to Chippe wa, from the peo of Madeleine Geale;a page of Savoury and Seasonable Dishes, by Mrs. Jean Joy, Principal of Domestic Science Department of Toronto Technical Schoels ; all the latest fall fashions apd fancy work ; Music Notes, by C. E. Saun- ders ; an article on “ Art in Muskoka,” as seen by T. Mower Martin ;: a review of the latest books published ; a pretty story of Love in the South, by Catharine Maan- Payzant ;a page for children ; Notes on Golf and Yachting, and two pages of mu- sic. The fancy work department is an- nother attractive feature. All the latest and prettiest designs will be illustrated, the patterns or materials for which can be obtained from Tie Caxapran Home Jovr- NAL. Free lessons in all the newest ~em-
purtuits, it is seen that they constituted ; broidery stitches are also being offered
10.17 per cent of the whole populetion in
1870, 11.22 per cent. in 1880 and 11.97 per | cent in 1890, showing a steady gain in the proportion of this high class of bread- winners to the whole populatica.
On the other hand itis shown that in respect to agricultural laborers, boatme , fisherman, sailors, draymen, hostlers, ordinary laborers, miners aud quarrymen, messengers, packers, porters, servants, and all other pursuits of like grade, the reverse is true, for although this class of workers in 1870 constituted 14.76 per cent. of the total population, it made up in 189%) only 13.44 per cent., thus demonstrating that the great class embracing the laborers of he lowest order, 80 far as wages go, is | steadily growing smaller in proportion to | the population.

NOTES AND COMMENTS
—A verv convincing argument as to the necessity of having waterworks and an abundant supply of water is being fur- nished the people of Summerside.
—The British-Colonal preferential idea is in the air. A few days ago,at a large meeting of the Dominion Millers Associa— tion it was reeo!ved that a deputation wait upon the Dominion Goverament ‘to urge upon them the desirability of making an effort to secure from the Governments of the British West India Islands and British Guiana preferential duties on Canadian goods entering those colonies in return for preferential duties to be granted by the Government of Canada on the goods im- ported into Canada from such colonies.
—The first rolier steamer has been Jaunched at Torontv. This new steamer is the invention of s Mr Koapp. By the adaptation ofthe rolling principle the inventor expects to revolutionize ships and shipbuilding, both in the carrying power and speed. The boat is a hundred and ten feet long and twenty-five feet high, and was built at a cost of ten thousand dollars. Two engines of sixty horse-power each are placei at each end of the vessel. If the
invention is a success ocean roller boats will at once be built five hundred feet lonz and a hundred and twenty-five feet high, designed to cross the Atlantic in two days. millionnaire

AND MARKE'SS’
Good progress has been made in the past week'with the harvest while reports of crop failure in Great Britain, and [Ireland and elsewhere, made the prospect of a contin- ued advance in prices more assured, None of the new crop has yet been put upon the local market and prices are without change to note. As tocheese and butter the Montreal Gazette reports :
