British Conservative papers have not failed to notice the singular coincidence that the Duke of Argyll and Mr. Gladstors were both unfortunate in the date of publi- cation of their recent political works. The Dukes’ ‘‘ Eastern Questien ” was published on the very day the definite treaty of peace was signed by Russia and Turkey, and Mr. Gladstone published a letter taunting the Cabinet w'th the fear of meeting the Legislature on the same day on which the Gazette announced that Parliament had been convened for a special session.

The Commander could not go with- out a requisition from the United States Consul, who telegraphed to Washington and received a reply, and the ‘‘ Osprey” left on Tuesday at noon. Some five days will be required to reach Sitka. A United States sloop of war from San Francisco will follow, and it is hoped assistance will reach

the locality in time.

The Railway.

Re =~ teaatenet ea

To the Editor of the Examiner :

Sir,—In your issue of the 10th I find an article attacking me signed ‘‘ Railway, 1876.” Ihave always made it a practice not to notice newspaper articles, and would not do so now but that the one in question insinuates that coal, etc.. etc., was taken from the Railway by me without being paid for. Now, lest any of your numerous read- ers should suppose this to be true, I here beg to say that the charges made are false, and that the books of the Railway show payment was invariably made by me.

Might I suggest that such intemperate articles should be excluded. There was no necessity te appeal to the press in this case, as the Government Inspector—Mr. Carvell -—was here ready and able to investigate any charges when properly brought before him. I ask only fair play—no more.

Yours, etc., W. McKecunie.

The Mechanics’ Association.

To the Editor of the Examiner.

Dear Sir,—What is the Mechanics As-(

sociation doing at this juncture? Is it asleep? Do its members not know that we are on the eve, in all probability, of a general election ? Do they forget that their interests generally have been ignored by the several governments of this Island, but more especially by that just resigned ?

The several interests of our farmers, mer- chants, shippers and lawyers are carefully pro- tected and fostered by their representatives? Why don’t the industrial classes select their man? It is privilege and right. They have important interests at stake which, if they know themselves, they are not only able to defend, but should aim to improve their condition by having such legislation enacted as will tend to foster their several industries.

Can the artizans and laborers forget the treatment they received from the late Govern- ment, especially in the letting of the Asylum contract? When the contract was given to strangers, who not only imported their artiz- ans, but also imported and made their bricks and burned their own lime, doing their own machine work, trucking, etc., etc.,—doing all this while our brick yards and lime kilns were allowed to stand idle, and our masons, bricklayers, carpenters, plasterers, truckmen and laborers were languishing for want of em- loyment.

Will they tamely submit to have taxes wrung from them to enrich those very contract- ors who are robbing them of their already too scanty employment, while they themselves walk idly about the streets, their credit gone, and their families suffering for the necessaries of life ?

They have an association. Why don’t they call it into activity, discuss the situation, se- lect men to represent the three towns, men who will represent their interests fairly and will advocate measures which will improve their condition and trade generally.

Yours truly, A SYMPATHIZER.

To the Editor of the Examiner :

Srr,—In the gray dawn of yesterday, hur- rying through the broad streets of our quiet city, were seen a quartetie representing dry goods, hardware, hyde and leather, in search of—would you, believe it, Mr. Editor—a man to represent Charlottetown and Royalty in our local Parliament. ‘These actors took it upon themselves to act for the independent (?) elec- tors of Charlottetown and Royalty. In ye ancient time this was not unusual, as the elec- tors were not considered capable of choosing for themselves; but another system prevails now. These electors aforesaid (I am not a lawyer) must have something to say in this matter of selecting their candidate. But to resume: this party of four, so fragrant of tan bark and leather, after sundry refusals, offered the bait to Neil McLeod. He took it; and as it becomes known, enquires on all sides are, who is Neil McLeod. And now, Mr. Editor, as an unsophisticated mechanic, I wish to ask you are we bound to accept him? notwith- standing they selected the Sabbath day to per- fect their plans. Is it not a shame, Mr. Editor, that in a Christian land like ours, citizens who are apparently the most God- fearing in their proclivities, are aften the first to violate the sanctity of the Sabbath, wher, by by so doing, they can obtain the further- ance of their own selfish aims. Not long ago this community was shocked by the open desecration of the Lord’s day, and that by some of our prominent Govt. officials, inthe mat- ter of the seizure of the Duncan, which aroused considerable indignation in our midst. We then fondly hoped that there would never again in the future be witnessed a repetition io heinous asin. Alas! however, we have been sadly mistaken, and our hitherto over- confiding t1u3t in human nature has been sorely blighted ; for, men whom we supposed wonld be ahead in rendering unto Cesar the things which are Cesar’s, and unto God the things which are God’s, have greatly perverted the course of righteousness by their worldly concern for carnal affairs, and when well disposed people were absorbed in their devo- tions, these hard-shelled Christians were actu- ally canvassing the city for a representative.

Yours, truly, MECHANIC.

Why Will You

Allow a cold to advance in your system and thus encourage more serious maladies such as Pneumonia, Hemorrhages and Lung troubles, when an immediate relief can be so readily attained. Boschee’s German Syrup has gained the largest sale in the world for the cure of Coughs, Colds and the severest Lung Diseases. Itis Dr. Boschee’s famous German prescription, and is pre- pared with the greatest care, and no fear need be entertained in administering it to the youngest child, as per directions. The sale of this medicine is unprecedented. Since first introduced there has been a con- stant increasing demand and without a single report of a failure to do its work in
