Dear Sia,—Iln my last letter I endea ored to show the tmpertan of keeping strictly tothe ierms of unton in maki our demands upoa the Dominion Gover ment for Winter Communication, and t} danger of asking for anything less, eithe:

in the shape of an additional steamer for the eastern part of the launches and branch railways at and to the Capes, or both, as vou a pear to a lvocats You atate that]

that case I have no objection whatever to} to the scheme; but if, on the other hand, it is to be asked fur as the equivalent, o a portion of it, then I maintain we should have nothing whatever to do with making any such request.

What I strongly object to is, our asking | '

I do not think we should even discuss the possibility or practicability of the Do minion Government fulfilling their obliga lions in this matter. The plain and simple wording of the terms are sufficient—‘‘ Etti- cient s:eam service * lished and maintained and winter * nication with the Railway system of the Dominion.” Why were these words em- bodied in our Terms of Union by the ablest statesmen that ever ruled the des tinies of this Dominion! Will any man dare say it was never intended to be car- rized out, and only put there to deceive and entrap us Islanders into Confederation !. I, for one, do not believe it. Such state» men as Sir John A. McDonald, Sir 8. L Tilley, Sir Charles Tupper, Honorables J. ©. Pope, T. H. Haviland, G. W. How- lan, R. P. Haythorne, David Laird, and other gentlemen who took an active part in bringing about Confederation, no doubt well understood the bargain they were making, feeling confident it would be car- ried out in good faith.

I am yours truly, Samvet Prowse.

The Bank Trouble.

To the Editor of the Examiner.

Srx,—All right thinking persons will, no doubt, fully approve of Dr. Taylor's severe though just strictures in yesterday's Patriot on the worthies who have obtained their thousands and tens of thousands from the unfortunate Bank of P. E L., without any reasonable grounds of their ever being able to return the monies borrowed. But, after all, who will be filled with wonder at them! er who would expect aught else of them! As to their feeling guilty in the matter, it is more than likely that they regard their successful operations as fresh proof of their extreme cleverness, and also see in them striking evidence of the truth of the old proverb that ‘‘practice makes perfect. :

The Dr. must, however remember that he has presented but one side of this de- plorable affair. He has not told the public what share the Bank Directors have had in this terrible disaster, which, like a thundsr- bolt has falien on the community, and which in all probability, will deprive not a few of all their worldly hving.

It is on this phase of the subject that the public are now most interested, and on 1 the stockholders especially desire and de- mand the fullest light. Nor will they be deterred from this under any pretext whiat- ever. It will not satisfy them to be told that the Cashier acted in direct opposition to the instructions of the Directors. They will naturally ask how it came to pass that the Directors met at the Bank twice a week, in its professed interests, without ever noticing the glaring recklessness and ruin- ous eourse which was being systematically

ursued. To do so required no profound investigation of the weekly balances. The public were Iniled into a false security With regard to the mangement of the Bank by the published report of last an- nual meeting, wherein it was stated :—

‘Tn promoting these great objects your Directors have, at all times, whilst care- fully guarding the interests of the Bank,” endeavored to Jend a helping hand.”

Agaia they say:—

“We have also, after earefully examin- ing iuto the loans and securities of the Bank, ete.

The careful manner in which these most important duties were performed is abund- antly and painfully evidenced by the Bank’s shattered condition.

In view of past and present banking ex- periences in P. E. Island, one is tempted to enquire, ‘“‘ What is the practical utility of Bank Directors?’ Are they merely to meet and separate and draw their pay, or are they really to guard the interests of the Bank, by taking a careful oversight of its management, and having a personal know- ledge, from week to week, of all its tran- sactions, whether great or small? If the former, as it appears wes the case in the piesent instance, let it be so understood, in order that stock-holders and all others interested may realize the true position,and govern themselves accordingly.

With the light that the public at present have on this fearful calamity, it seems to be the universal opinion that the Directors should follow the example of the Mir chants’ Bank, and come forwardyand to the utmost of their ability make good the losses which hav» been incurred.

Buaners,” which they will supply ana fit on Gas Brackets, etc., at a moderate cost to consumers,

These Burners are reported to be the best lat Flame Burner yet produced, and will ive a far greater amount of light than any other Burner with the same consumption of Gas,

Dr, Wallace, F. RB. 8. E., F. C. S,, Gas Examiner to the City of Glasgow, in a lecture delivered by ‘him, calculated, that £1° ),000 ($650,000) @ year, are thrown away in Glas- gow by the use of imperfect fittings, On the subject of Gas Burners he says; “ Another and as I think a better Burner is that called Bray’s reguiator, acd as I consider these the best unien Burners attainable at moderate cost, I have selected them for a series of ex- periments,”

The Keport of the Committee of the British Association of Science to enquire as to the best means for the deyelopmen: of light trom Coal “Gas of different qualities—comprising Dr, William Wallace, Professor Dittmar, and Mr, Thomas Wills, F. C.5., F. 1. C. E., showed that Bray’s Burner's yielded the greatest amount of light of all the two or three score of Burners reported upen. which includedall the Burners of repute in the market,

In a pamphlet upon Light and Heat, pub- lished by R. B, Taver, A, M., he says : “ fhe cost of Gas as compared with other illumin- ants is much more economical when rightly used, than many suppose. From experiments made for this purpose, the following resuits have been obtained, They were made by burning samples of Devoe’s Brilliant Oil and ordinary Oils, and testing their illuminating power. It was found that Coal Gas costing one cent at ¢3 per thousand fect, gave @ light equal to 18 candles, while Devoe’s Brilliant Oil consuming 27.4 grammes cost- ing halfa cent, gave a light eqaal to 9 candles, “A good Argand or Johason’s Burner, the Burner's used in the last experiment, will therefore give the light of 2 ordinary Oil Buruers in direct comparison, at no greater expense in the cas: of the finer and safer grades of Oil, Lights, however, on the author- ity of Scientists, are not to be compared in direct proportion, but in proportion to the squares of their powers, and such a com- parison with the case of tie use of Gas, its cleanliness, freedom from odor and dangers, renders its use desirable wherever it can be introduced.”

As the above experiments were made with Gas at $3 per 1000 feet, and not consumed through Bray’s Burners, it will readily be seen how much more economical it is to con- ‘some Gas instead of Oil, when its price is ‘only $2.63 per 1000 feet as now charged bere when consumed, more especially through Bray's Burners,

Messrs, Goodwin & Co., of Philadelphia, the well-known manufacturers of Scientific in- struments for testing the illuminating power of Coal Gas, etc., say in their Ciréular to Gas Compasies : “In presenting the Bray’s Stand- ard Patent Slit Union Burners and Lanterns, for which we are the sule Agents in the | United States, to the attention of the public, | we are convinced that we are filling a want long felt.’ They further add: * The yield of
