So far this session, besides adding a million dollars to the ordinary expenditure defrayed out of the consolidat- ed fuud, they have provided for the pay- mentto the Crow’s Nestrailway—which the Cauadian Facific Company raid they would build whether they got a subsidy or not— $3,630,000 ; tothe extension of that line westward—$1 ,440,000; to the Grand Trunk Railway'— besides other contributions —the annual interest on $5,250,000; to the Drummand railway—of which Mr. Drummond, of Moutreal, is the chief owner, $2,330,000—altogether $12,650,000.

WHAT P. E. ISLAND ASKS.
M. v., Gives the Province's View of the Situation,
To the Editor of the Gazette: SIR,
Mr Martin
I see by your sym inary of debates n the House of Commious for yesterday, issue of today, thatyour reporter eays | advocated “better terme’ for Prince Edward Island. Now, I submit that it is fuirto say to. Any one buta careless writer and a mere tyro aa regards the political questions affecting that Province would pot mvke the statement. Prince Edward Island wante the terms cf uniou carried out, and not better terms.
1. The terms of union with Prince El- ward Island provided that the would be connected with the Intercolonia! Railway asd the railway sy-tem of the Dominion. That has never been done.
2. The system of subsidizing railways, introduced in 1883, torelieve the proviv cesof the expense of building railways wholly, or in part, within a province, bas never been applied to Prince Edward Is'and. Byareturn laid on the table of the House of Commons a few years #g, over $42,000,000 was spent since 1883 by the Parliament of Canada under this
in your

province
that province.
And bya return asked for by me and laid on the table of the House, a few daye ago, over $106,900,000 has been spent by the Parliament of Canada for railways gipce the year 1875.
Further, the report of the Ministerfof Railways ehows that the Parliament of Canada spent over’ $15,900,000 on rail- ways since Confederation in ] 867.
What Prince Edward Island c.aime, and elaims justly, is not better terms, but that the province shall be allowed some fair share of those immense expenditures—the interest on which it has to bear its share. As far as any commercial advantage to Prince Edward Island is concerned, that province has not received any share in that expenditure. The paltry eum men- tioned in the return laid on the table of the House a few days ago, was spent mostly by the Parliament of Canada for making some show of carrying out the terms of union in regard to winter com- munication.
The Province of Prince Edward Island wants fair treatment. When the Parlia- ment of Canada spends $153,000,000 on
JAMES JEFFREY ROCHE,
The Time and the Hour, published in Boston, contains a short racy eketch of James Jeffrey Roche. Mr. Roche’s re- latives and friends here will be glad to |
preciation of his genius which have ben given in his adopted country. After relating the main points in his life, with which readers of THE EXAMINER are fam- iliar, The Time and the Hour tays:— “Jamee Jeifrey Rocke is a familiar figure. He is a perfect brook, in fluent,bub- bling speech in which bis words come trip- ping one another up, in the very glow and fervor of sympathetic expression. His eves snap with intensity of expression, his hands move in rap‘d eesture, his body is alteraately tense and flexible as the waves of feeling pulsate in the warm veins. Why will people s0 misuse the d licate phrase, “blarnev”? It is an appeal,-—in- gratiating, subtle, caressing, such as a beautiful woman makes with her love- liness. Happy would be the. life warmed and cheered with its perpetual sunshine. ft meana loving-kindness, good-humor, approbativeners; and we persist in at- taching to its specious motives and a sel- fish purpose, because we cannot conceive ite real quality. If you can’t be pleasant unless you wish to gain something by it, will you misjudge the nature which just gives out of its own fulness, asking no- g again but mere reciprocation ? The drop of Irish blood is so needful to
thing
our morbid and introspective Puritan strain that we muat not let it remain alien. Very few people who have the
quarteriogs ofan Irish ancestry but wili recognize their debt of gratitude to it for the eauguine tone, the light heart, the el- astic spirit which, like the rubber tire on the wheel, makes the journey, else so hard, possible, and even gay. We shall be very patient with the affections and prejudices which still tend to strain our bre:hren’s American citizenship where foreign qnes- tions are concerned. But we want for our own sakes and for their’s, the speediest as similation poseible,so that the wonderful composite race, which is to be the flowec of all humanity when we get thoroughly nationalized here in America, may not lack the gorgeous flush and high thrill and passionate ecstasies of the warm Celtic nature. In wishing Mr. Roche many re- turns of his fiftieth birthday (last Monday) it is notonly for bis own fair sake, but for the cause of generous Americanism,
railways, a fair share should be expeuded in that province. The Province needs that share of railway expenditure
now; but in place of providing for that, the Government today madly rushes on with an expenditure between Quebec and Montreal, where there are now three com- peting lines, involving no less than seven millions of money. There are three or four millions more proposed for the Crow’s Nest Pass, three or four millions or more for canals.
It is proposed to extend the Intercolonial | weet as far as Motreal—where three lines are already competing; but the Govern- ment of Canada refuses---at least has failed sq far—to fulfil its solemn pledges and contract with Prince Edward Island, as expressed in the terms of union, which provides that that province will be con- nected with the Intercolonial Railway and the railway system of the Dominion.
That solemn contract, entered into with Prince Edward Island by Canada is ignored, and has never been carried ont.
Without saving anything further, you can see, Mr. Editor, tha is not better terms Prince Miwa d [-land aske, but that the Parliament ot Canada shall fulfil the terms of its contract with that province;
