1883. } Strikes. Tne New York Ji/erald has started an agitation for a postal telegraph ser- vice similar to that in operation in Eng- land. As things now are, the public have no guarantee that messages will be forwarded immediately. When skilled | operatives strike for higher wages, and raw hands are takeo on in their place, mistakes in transmission, as well as de- lays, areaptto occur. It does not seem right that any private company should have the power of inconveniencing the public because of a strife with their em- ployees. In England the telegraph de- partment has worked satisfactory and more than paid for itself. The power of private corporations who run railroads and forward messages, must of course have some limits; they have vir- tually undertaken a public trust; they cannot ask beyond a certain price fer any services they may perform. But they can put the pressure on from within ; and long hours aed increased work are rewarded with scarcely enough to enable the operatives to live. The functions of Government are certainly very wide already; aud public services have not always been performed without jobbery ; still when it becomes a toss-up between a wealthy monepoly, who have the power of retarding important business through strife with their employees, and a Govern- ment, though somewhat ivefficient, one feeis inclined to call heads for the Government especially in view of an election. There is no reason why as much business capacity should not be displayed by a Government as by an individual or corporation. A Govern- ment would have no object in makivg large profits; it could afford reasonable wages to its workmen; and the delays that now hamper trade and travel would not be so liable to occur.

Railway Employees’ Picnic.
The seventh annual picnic of the Railway Employees was held at Marie on Saturday. Early in the morning the weather was threatening, but the day proved exception- ally fine. Hundreds of pleasure seekers might be seen at an early hour proceeding in the direction of the depot to embark for the grounds. Mr. Galbraith, with the Band of the 82nd battalion, was early at the depot, and under his talented leader- ship played off the first train at 7.30 a. m. This train consisted of twelve cars, under the management of Conductor John McDonald. At 8a. m. the second special left the depot under the management of Conductor D. H. Macgowan. The band having played off the first train accompanied this one, and as_ their car trimmed with shrubbery attached to the rear of the train, passed through the depot the martial strains of the band were quite enlivening.
At about 2 p. m., Mr. Superintendent Coleman, accompanied by a number of friends, arrived on the grounds, by special train.
The trip to Marie was most pleasant. At one time there could not have been less than one thousand persons on the ground. Swings, quoits, dancing, boating, &c., &e., were heartily enjoyed. All games were entered into with spirit, but the one which particularly interested the spectators was number five on the programme— Throngh the Maze. This game originated with the British soldiers in Malta, and was introduced here by Mr. Unsworth, the popular Mechanical Superintendent, from a diagram inthe New York Graphic. Too much praise cannot be given Mr. Unsworth for the whole-hearted and impartial manner in which, as chairman of the committee of management, he carried out the different sports on the programme. At 5 o’clock, the first special left for the city, followed at 5.30 by the Superintendent’s special, leav- ing special No. 3at the grounds, which left at a later hour; all arriving safely at the city without the slightest accident. The following isa list of the successful competitors :—

PROVINCIAL RIFLE SHOOTING AT KENSINGTON RANGE.—THE MILITIAMEN WELL REPRE- SENTED.— GOOD SHOOTING.
Notwithstanding the heavy rain, a large number of the Militiamen of the Province gathered at Kensington Range to-day, to contest the annual Provincial matches. The first match was one for all- comers, at 200 yards distance, and open to all members of the Association. The regulations for the All-Comer’s match provide that marksmen shall fire, either in a kneeling or standing position. Such a rule as the above made shoot- ing awkward to many of the shooters who have hitherto had the privilege of lying down with head towards the target, still there were some good scores made, especially those of Lieut. Macdougall, Corp. Dover, and Sergt. Hooper, the former two making Jl and the latter 30, out of a possible 35. The rain also militated to a large extent against good shooting, but scores between 20 and 30 were common. The result of the match was received too late for to-days issue.
