CANADIAN TELEGRAPH LINES.

In connection with the proposal that

the Canadian Government shall take over

and operate the telegraph lines within the Dominion, it may he mentioned that there are in Canncln. 35,057 miles of tele- graph lines. Of these lines 18,236 miles are in the hands of the Great Northwest-

ern Telegraph Company, 8,883 miles be- nelonging to the Canadian Pacific Railway Company: 2.912 belonging to the

Western Union Company and 4,973 miles belonging to the Govern- ment. SO;-ne of these lines are du-

plicnted,so that the act-ual mileage of wire

i is over 80,000 miles.

The present Government telegraph lines

are divided between the Provinces as fol- lows : Newfoundland . . . _ . . . . _ . . _ . . . ._ .14 miles

1 Nova Scotia . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ,,

New Brunswick _ . . . . . . . _ . . . _ _ . .. .87 “ Quebec . _ . . . . _ _ . . . . . . . . . . ._ .1,660 “ Ontario . _ . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. .35 “ Northwest Territories . . . . . . . .. . 698 ‘- British Columbia . . _ . . . . . . . . . . .._ 691 “

`B. C. andYukon....._ . . . . . . . .._l,538 “

Of this mileage 262 miles are cables, loc-

ated as follows: In Nova Scotia, 26; New Brunswick ll; Quebec 214 and in Ontario

11 miles. It is true that the operation of

the Government telegraph lines has not so far proved a financial success, but this is explained by the fact that they are mostly located where necessity rather than paying business calls for them. The companies will only erect telegraph lines where it will yay to do so. Thus at

present the companies have the cream of.

the paying business while the Govern~ ment has been forced to erest lines where

the companies would not do so.

Last year the outlay on Government

telegraphs was $76,965 and the receipts

but $44529. The one paying Govei nmenti

line was from Dawson City to Bennett and Atlimwbich for an outlay of $15,639 yielded arevenus of $33,717. We think it will be generally conceded that the Gov- ernment ought to control the telegraph

service of the country as it controls the postal service.the more especially as it already has nearly 5.000 miles ofthe non- paying lines in operation. \Vith Govern- ment ownership and management rat-es

could be equalized and reduced, greatly to

the advantage of the country in general and of Prince Edward Island in pirticu- lar.

Mr. YVright. M. P. proposes a new form

of ballot. His scheme is that each elector

when he goes to vote shall be given as

many ballots as there are candidates, each ballot having on it the photograph of a candidate. The elector will take these

into the private room of the polling booth, fold them all and mark one. The return-

ing officer will then destroy all the ballo ts but the one rnarked,which he will drop in the hallotibox. It is not likely that any such plan will be adopted. In many cases. especially where there are new candidates, few of the electors might be able to re- cognise their photographs.

Some scoundrel, well worthy of a term in the penitentiary, which he may yet. ob-

tain, sent to Tm: GUARDIAN some notes purporting to give the local news of Brae. These notes were accompanied by a name in conddence, and were published in Tm: Wrzrzxrv Guannrsu of 20th March. Among other items contained in the communication was mention of a social party at the home of Mr. John Mc- Kinnon. This with the other items was

wholly false, no such party having been

which has given pain to some worthy persons. Steps am-being taken to Und the author of the notes in question and to punish him for his criminal act.

the controversy in regard to prayers for the dead. Rev. Mr. Simpsons' letter which we printtoday, shows that he has not been forbidden by Bishop Courltney

bocontinue the pr:\ctic\s cornplained of, but he fails to show that lic has the Bis-

hop`s approval, or that the alleged inno- vations have the sanction of the Church

ofEngland, or the warrant of Sacred

County is quite beside the inriin contro- versy and his claim that the onus of prov- ing prayers for the dead to be unscriptur- 31 pests with rhgeo who do not believe in

such prayers is simply absurd. It is always in order to call for the authority

upon which a doctrine is based.

Why Was This?

SIR.-Would some of the legal lights ex-

plain by what authority the Provincial Government otllces were closed this day viz. 'Easter Monday, and also why the stamp vendor`s ofhce was closed to the in- convenience of a large portion of the citizens.-'

The leg breakisa. compound fracture of the semur. There are grave fears that the accident may result fatally. Dr. Stewart was immediately called in and all possible _ is being done for the un- fortunate lad.
