Summer Travel.

From all sources we hear of the great

ioflux American tourists into Canada. The steamers from Boston and New York to Yarmouth, St. John and Halifax are crowded every trip. The hvtels at Alex- andria Bay, Kingston, and other summer resorts bordering on the river St. Law rence are turning people away daily. The trains and parlor cars coming East are overcrowd- ed. Yet but few find their way to P. KE. Island, which we claim has a better climate, balmier air, and more natural advantages as a summer resort than most other parts of the Dominion. The reasons why it does not attract more tourists are easy to define. We lack hotel accommodation. We must improve our streets and sidewalks, keep

of

them cleaner, and, generally, make the town more attractive. F urther, is is necessary tO canvass for

the tourists’ travel—to advertise P. E. Island extensively abroad as an unrivalled summer resort—and thus attract people here.

All this can be done. united action on the part of a few energetic citizens to make a move in the matter to carry it out successfully. Lots of places in the United States and Canada that have not half the advantages and attractions of P. E. Island, have been ‘*boomed” of late years, and become favorite summer resorts. With a good summer hotel at or near Charlottetown, and proper advertising, three thousand to four thvuusand tourists, over and above those who now come here, could be brought to P. E. Island every summer. Suppose they only stopped long enough to spend $15 each, they would leave amongst us from $45,000 to $60,006 cash, annually, the greater part of which would go into the pockets of farmers, grocers, storekeepers, livery stable keepers, etc. In fact everybody would be benefitted directly or indirectly. This is but a moderate estimate and could be increased in time.

In the United States and in the other Provinces, new hotels are being built in all directions to accommodate the constant - ly increasing travel, which is gradually extending further north and east every year. Is P, E. Island to be left behind in the race? Wesay no! The time has ar- rived when a move should be made. Will not some live men among us take the lead ? The Charlottetown Steam Navigation Company andthe P. E. Island Railway should put a man on the road inthe United States and Ontario for a couple of months every season to advertise P. E. Island as a summer resort, and to attract tourists tothe Province. That is the way this business is now worked up. The out- lay pays. An instance came under our notice lately of a steamer sailing out of New York—recently put on the route to the Provinces—which left port loaded with passengers, mostly tourists, not one tenth of whom had ever been in the Maritime Provinces before, and had heard and known very little about them. They were all attracted to the new route by advertising, and gladly availed themselves of the op- portunity offered to visit regions new to them. There are hundreds of thousands more like them who would come to P. E, Island if only shown the way, and assured of getting good accommodations when they arrive.

A List of recent political appointments

will be found in another column of this day's issue of Toe Examiner. But we do not find in it the names of those mentioned in the following paragraph clipped from the Summerside Pioneer :—

““We understand the School Inspectors, Messrs. Arbuckle and Cain, have heen dis- missed. Mr. Alex. Campbell, of Victoria, who has an experience of eleven years as a first class teacher, has received the appoint- ment for the Western [nspectorisl District, and Mr. Daniel F. Murphy, of Lot 56, that for the east.”

Possibly the Government were restrained by a feeling of shame from letting the pub- lic know, officially, that they have drawn the Educational Department into their political machine, and that they have dis- missed two competent Educational In- spectors—against whom complaint has not been laid—in order that places might be found for two of their party camp fol- lowers.

NOTES FROM OTTAWA.

Some Errors Explained and Corrected.

SIR JOHN AND THE C, Fh.

Civil

Irregularities in the

Service.

[Special Correspondence of THE EXAMINER |.

$y a mistake of either the telegraph operator or your compositor, the Patriot was enabled ‘o score a point against me last week. it was Nicholas Connolly and not McGreevy, who testified that his firm had never paid Sir Hector Langevin any money. I should not complain, however, of the Patriot.The fact of it having jumped on me so promptly, when the error was not mine, shows that iny despatches, as a rule, arecorrect,and that their accuracy cannot be impugned. I wish that I could say so much for the Patriot’s despatches. I observe in last Thursday’s ExaMINER, the Ottawa despatches, that Mr. Davies delivered an eloquent speech on the Bud- get. It was not Davies, but Davin—this is clearly an efror in transmission, Davies has not yet spoken, and | am at a loss to account for his lung silence.

Upon a motion br Mr. Fraser, of Gays- boro, for correspondence relating to the ralary of Judge Johnstone, County Court Judge for Halifax County, Mr. Davies brought the case of Judge Alley befure the House, who, he said, stands in the same relative position that Judge Jvhnstone does. Said Mr. Davies: “Judge Alley receives the same amount of pay as the County Court Judges of Prince and Kings Counties, although he does more work than both of them together. Yes, more than they do when their work is doubled and doubled again. I do not say they are overpaid, but, in a large County like Queen’s, with a popalation of nearly 65,000 and with a very fair extent of jurisdiction for the County Court, a very large amount of litigation which took place in the Supreme Court, a few years ago, now comes before the County Judge. He isa man of gvod experience and legal attain- ments, and discharges his duties satisfactor- ily ; and having no jury, but acting as a Judge of law and tact, he himself attends to a large amount of business which was formerly doue at a@ great expense in the Supreme Court.”

Whether the Grit leaders are respon- sible or not for the recent fiendish attack of the Globe and other party papers on the memory of Sir John A. Macdonald ia con- nection with his ownership of C. P. R. stock, the fact remains that the attack was made in the interest of the Grit party, and that none of the party leaders have yet repudiated it. We did think, after the magnificient panegyric which Mr. Laurier pronounced upon Sir John, that the de- parted statesman would have been allowed to rest in peace. But it was too much to expect. The vultures wust have their pray, and the poor old man must be slandered aud mal gnel in his grave. I do not know what stories have reached the Island, but 1 have read the despatches of the Ottawa liar to the Halifax Chronic'e from which most of the Lower Province Grit sheets receive their inspiration, and | think I may safely conelude that by this time must of his abominable falsehoods nave been trans- ferred tothe columns of the Patriot and Pioneer. ‘here is no truth whatever in the stutement that any duplicity or under- hand work was practised in connection with the filing of Sir John’s will. The charge was wade and was promptly denied by the

proper official—the egistrar of the Court. The will was proved like any other man’s will and placed on record, where those desirous

of seeing it could peruse it. Sir John’s will—I donot know whether it was drawn by himself or not—was drawn with all legal formalities, and the devises were technically constructed to include lands, tenements, hereditaments, whether he had any or not—and thus it was that he- devised ‘‘stocks, shares and securities, whether standing in his own name, or held in trust for him inthe name of any other person.” On these technicalities the crows fastened and feasted. His stock in the C. P, R. was magnitied to a quarter of a million dollars. **It had been presented to him years ago.” ‘*No one ever dreamed that Sir John owned any stock in the C, P.R. It was generally believed he was a poor man and had kept himself clear of the C. P. R.” “The atock was not held in his own name, but in trust, and some un- known concern in New York had ascer- tained that the books of the C. P. R. shewed $250,000 held in trust torSir John.” Then came the emphatic and explicit state- ment of the exeeutors that at the time of his death, Sir John was owner of only 122 shares of C.P. R. Stock which he had purchased with his own money three years ago, and that never st any time, in his own name or in that of anybody else, had he held any other shares of C. P. R. stock than those specified. Will this state- ment satisfy the grit birds of prey? It is too much to expect. While Sir Joho lived, day after day for years it was cast in his teeth that he had iuvested money in Florida Orange groves and Texas Cattle Ranches. Will the Globe or Chronicle, or any other Grit vulture tell us by what peers in his will Sir John disposed of his Florida plantations and Texas cattle? Surely, if their New York agent can find the record of C, P. R. stock held in trust, he should be able to tell where the oranges and cattle have disappeared. And [ would like to ask who had a better right to invest his surplus cash in C. P. R. stock than Sir John Macdonald? It was at his bidding

it may be said, that this vast corporation same into existence. He created it—he be- lieved ia it—he predicted for ita successfv)} future—and if he spoke honestly and truth- fully regarding it, he had a right to invest his money init. He backed his assertions with his money, and he purchased stock jn the open market, where the sale was notorious

where all knew of it, and where there waa de Seciecy necessary or prac'ised. But now that che stock scare has been explained we must quietly await the launching of another candal. ‘

Some of the Opposition press are howling over the revelation that Sir John died worth $105,000, whereas he always spoke of him. self asa poor man and wished it so to be understood. Well, aeenry Sir Jobkn

was a poorman. Had stuck to bis pro- fession, instead of politics, his income weal:

attempting to desert,

| have ‘been fully twice what it wae as premier, aad his expenditure would have been far less. |

Mr. Blakes income from his profession is enerally allowed to be $25,000 a year, Sir Seba received $8000 a year. But if we analyse the $105,000 which SirJobn bequeathed to his family, we find that very little of it was in actnal money—in hard cash or in invest. ments. His real estate, household furniture and library constitute $29,000 of this amount, and life insurance policies $18,009 more. So that his ready cash and investments in bank and railway stock footed up only $61,- 000, and part of this sum was inherited troim a sister who predeceased him!

‘Phere is a possibility that your readers may confuse the nature of the irregularities which have been revealed in the Depast- ment of the Interior with the corrupt de- velopwents of the Tarte-McGreevy investi- gation. ‘They are widely different. In the latter. case there is corruption; in the former it has been shown that a few of the clerks have received ypayments in an irregular way fur work actually done and performed. These payments were not ** hoodle ” ; they were earned by hard work performed after hours —what a mechanic would call ‘‘over time.” [nother departments extra work was also performed by perman- ent clerks, but the payments were sanction- ed by a direct vote of Parliament. In the Interior Department the payments were made out of the vote for Dominion lands. Really, the only wrongdoing developed was the silly attempt to cover up the paymenis under fictitious names, and those who ought to know say that the work which was done was not only well done, but executed more cheaply than if extra clerks hid been hired to do it.

The investigation of irregularities by the Public Accounts Committee: made some progress last week. The Grit wing of the Committee tried hard to implicate Mr. Schrieber in some shady something or other, which they themselves could neither exactly define or make out; but they failed, and then they wanted to know why the 1. C. R did not pay when the C. P. R. did, although the former carried more tons per ule than the latter. Mr. Schreiber explained one reason to be that the C P. R. rates were higher than the I.O R. The Committee immediately shut down on this sort of business, as, involving the policy of the Government,—it was outside their pro- vines and altogether a matter for the juria- diction of the House. Although ths Com- mittee had Mr. Schrieber in attendance day after day they feund nothing on which to impeach his management of the Govern- ment Railways. He has his instructions, and it was very plain that be carried them out—tov literaliy, perhaps. Then Mr. McMullen wanted to examine a witness as to matters several years back, but it was ruled that this was outside the duty of the Committee, whose jurisdiction was contised tu the accounts of 1889 90, and that leave of the House should first be obtained before travellmwg outside their province. he Opposition press seiz2 on all these little incidents and represent that the Govern- ment are endeavoring to stifl3 discussion. This is not the case. The Government are determined on and anxious for the fullest investigation into the working of all depart- ments with a view to the discovery and punishment of fraud, and the checking of irregularities. But there is a right and a wrong way of doing everything, and Mr. McMullen and his associates are not always careful whether they adopt the right way so long as they can rake up something which they hope may prejudice the Govern- ment. The other morning I was in the committee room, and there was an cfticer of the Public Works Department there— Mr. Saucier, a French gentleman—who had been in attendance for several days,but had not been exsmined. He got tired of waiting aud asked tliat he should be ex- amined, but no one knew what he had been subpoenaed fur. It turned out that Mr. Mulock had asked for his attendance, but Mr. Mulock said he did not know what it was for—it was on behalf of some other memb sr that he had requested Mr. Saucier’s presence. And then next day it was dis- covered that it was the fire-eating Colonel Amyot who had sent for Mr. Saucier, hoping to prove that ‘here was no such person as one Bancroft who had signed the contract for the Kingston Dry Dock, but that Bancroft was realy Michael Con- nolly. The Colonel was surprised, however, to learn from this witness that there was a Bancroft who had signed the contract in witnesses presence as well as a Michael Connolly who had also signed the contract, The witness was then discharged and the Colonel retired from the commit ee room with colors at half-mast.

The investigation into the Interior Depart- ment irregularitics is pretty well through, The grit members, when they heard the testimony of Mr. C. C. Rogers last week decided that it wou!d not be wise to go any further. Mr. Rogers told them that he had been in the service since 1870 and that the system of payirg perminent clerks for extra work had obtained during the McKenze administration, When Hon. David Mills was Minister of the Interior, he (Rogers) had received extra pay, and he had also received money from the Finance Depariment for ex‘ra work, when Sir Richard Cartwright was Finance Minister. Sir Richard, who had up to this period, been taking a lively part in examining witnesses, suddenly became dumb and, remembering he hed en engagement elsewhere, fished out his bat and left the room. Mr. Somerville suggested to Mr. Lister that it was lunch time, and that the committee had better adjourn. We shall probably hear nothing farther of irre gularities in the Interior Department. Mr. Burgess’ statement and the straightforward testimony of Mr. John R, Hall, the Secretary of the Depaitment. and now acting Deputy Minister has convinced all foir-minded men that while there certainly have been in egularities aliowed by the heads of the D. partment there has been no fraud committed but that a dojlar’s worth of work has been done for every doilar paid. During the progress of Mr. Hall's ex nination, Mr. James Somerville gotasnubthat he wil remember for some- time. Mr, Somervii’e was pressing Mr, Hall to say that he was exceediagly +5 of semen ” with a Mr. Kinlock and a Mr. McMahon Mr. Hall acknowledged that they were very good friends but would hardly allow that they were “chums,” and as to Mr. MeMahon said Mr. Hall, “I have been in his house only once in my life.” *@O 1, yes: re lied ; Somervi le, “1 can understand thst—I hone lus of friends, and Ihave never been irside their houses.” I can readily believe that.” sid Mr Hal’, “but you must understand Mr. S m-rville, that { have the entre to all my friends houses.” Mr. Somerville did j not pursue the examination further.

THE LAST TIME IN PLYMOUTH CilURCd.

The organ grandly pealed ; Still rose the peaceful hymn ; ‘Lhe lights, though waxtog dim, A beauteous sight revealed.

From off the busy street Into the sacred pile, Adown the shidowy aisle

Came little wandering feet.

Secure from feir of harm, With eager, upturned face, The lone ones rest a space,

Joy-tilled of music’s charm.

Forgot their hapless fite, Forgot cold, worldliug scorn, Uuseen the life forlorn,

Seems nigh heaven's golden gate.

Upriseth from his seat He of a world-wide fame ; He of the lustrous name, Those nameless ones to greet,

The mightiest orb on high Doth kiss the meanest flower ; True love, in bounteous shower, Doth rifc earth’s formal sky.

Stocps low the silvered head To kirs the smooth young brow, To seal the sacred vow

Which life-long fragrance shed.

Aad tenderly his arms Those boyish forms enfold, Asif, o'er life’s die w wold, He'd shield from rude alarms.

Thus pass they from the sight From out the vaulted door ;— He walks the pearly floor, —

They yrops through dismal night.

Oh scene surpaseieg fair! Sou!-filling, all sublime ; Undimmed of dark’ning tine,

Unilit of earthly glare.

Fair soul of tenderness ! Unsellish, meek and mild, The waif, the outcast child

Thou d.ignest to caress.

Sweet, humavizing love ! Beyond choice gif s of mind, "Yond culture most refined,

Bright essence from above !

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

The Souris Marine Hospital.

Sir, —Yesterday a number of the leading men of Souris telegraphed their representa- tives at Ottawa, stating that several sick sailors were there in need of proper ac- commodation and urging the necessity of having the hospital put ia suitable con- dition for their care and treatment ‘This isa step inthe right direction. There is rea'ly no excuse whatever for the way this hospital has been neglected by the Marine Department. It cost four or five thousand dollars to build it. Usader the MicKenze government a keeper was appoiated at a salery of $200 doliars a year. For the Jast ten or twelve years Ne Nas recetved n+ _ro- muneration, aud as he has no other means of living he is unable to furnish supplies for patients when required. Siwk sailors haveto b: boarded out in consequence, and sometimes it is impossible to get any one to keep them. The hospital building has been alluwed to go to wreck. Tue cellar is filling up fast. The flie is ready to tumble down and the roof is as leaky as a basket. Instead of the Department trying to mend matters, I understand it is the Minister's intention to set both the building and the lot of land on which it stands, up at auction, to be sold to the highest bidder. Such a proposal is simply disgraceful in view of the great, the imperative need there is for a hospital at an important fish- ing and trading centre like Souris. We sincerely hope that the Government may be induced to reconsider their decision and, instead of selling it at auction, fit it up and use it forthe sick and distressed seamen who need it.

Oats showed like falling off ; barley fell from twenty-two dollars to twelve dollars, and rye from thirteen dollars tu seven dollars. Like depreciation in values took ‘place in live cattle.
