~The New York Marine Journal seems to be alarmed at the proposal to lay a cable from Vancouver te the Hawaiian Islands. It says :—** Canada’s little game is to get the first cable to the Sandwich Islands, arrange trade relations and put in a line of subsidized steamers. The grasping at the Pacific trade, which belongs by right to the United States, has long been a favorite policy with Great Britain, wants to have a larger finger in the pie. The welfare of our shipping ia the Pacific trade demands an American cable to the Sandwich Islands and Japan, and such legislation by Congress as will enable it to compete with British shipping now crowd- ing ours to the wall.” The Pacific trade will go tothe country that has the most enterprise, and that possesses the best facilities to carry it on, and in these respects the superiority of Canada is admitted.
Portugal will now submit to the demands of the British Government without danger of 4 revolution. The anger of the Portu- guese seems to have been largely due to their utver ignorance of the subject in dis- pute and to a misunderstanding of their position as a nation. The British have always been the best friends the Portuguese had in Europe, and they have proved their

In Parliament yesterday, how- ever, Dr. Platt, the member for Prince Ed- ward County, and Dr, Wilson, the member for East Elgin, two Ontario members who cannot be ignorant of the strong feeling of Ontario upon this subject, shirked the vote, and by pressed iu the only way they contempt for the resolution and the loyal | sentiments it contained. By so doing they will stir up a resentment which will con- vince them and all others who on one pre- text or other, or from whatsoever motives are false to the obligations, the loyal fealty, snd the ardent patriotism of British sub- jects that there is no room in places of pub- lic trust in Canada for .men agaiust whose loyalty there isa shadow of suspicion, It may be a piece of cowardice on the part of the shirkers, or it may be an intentional slight, but whatever may have actuated their conduct it isto be hoped the people

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Curtin District.
-In your issue of yesterday you pub- lish a let ter headed ‘*Cardigan District,’ and signed ‘‘Gvod Templar,” ‘which I would not notice but for the fact that you, Mr. Editor, were willing to take an anonymous scribbler, whose meanness is only exceeded by his nntruthfulness, for your authority to repeat the same statements.
I now state, and defy contradiction, that the Liberal party (except the most respect- able Liberals of the district—such men as Dr. McLaren, who nominated me) had nothing whatever to do with my nomina- tion, and never knew that I intended to enter the contest tll my nomination was announced in the Patriot, and that the party never furnished dollar or one cent, or one bottle of whiskey to aid in the contest; and | defy Good Templ: ar, Or any- else, to name a single case where | or any of the party ever gave a single dollar or a single cent for any vote.
I alone am responsible for the contest, and my only reason for doing so was my interest in the welfare of my own district.
As tu his reference to the whiskey, I may say for the sake of putting myself in the right light with those in the district who do not know that I have always been a supporter of the temperance principles and have never yet lost an opportunity of casting my vote for the Scott Act or any other measure to aid the cause—and | hope that I never shall.
One evidence of my conduct during the campaign is the fact that at New Perth, the settlement where I was born and brought up, and where I am best known —- and which is also the home of Mr. Shaw— and one of the strongest temperance settle- ments on the Island, I polled 135 votes against 100 for my opponents.

Geo. F. Owen and Messrs. Morson and Morgan. Itovokthe largest Liberal vote ever polled there, vr 139 votes against 140
for the Government candidates.
What wonder that I was defeated in Dun- das or Launching. wheu my time was so short that it was impossible for me even to enter those settlements or to make a single cull, and this unfortunately was the part of the district where 1 was least acquainted, and besides this, | was opposed on election day at the polls by Messrs. Mathew and McLean, of Souris, and Mr. James E. Mc- Donald, of Cardigan and the McDonald’s of Georgetown.
This shows the error of allowing any dis- trict to go by default at any general elec- tion, as | have no doubt but that if there had been elections in Georgetown and Souris on that day, su that thuse gentlemen would have had toattend to their own con- tests at home, I should have been relieved of the influence of their personal attend- ance at the polls, and the result would have been different, and [ should have hada majority at thé polls of the lower end of the district, as well as at the upper end.
