Tho Intercolonial Rai way.

i

(From the Toronto Mail.)

The discussion of the Intercelonial rail- way management in the Lower Provinces | reveals a singular inconsistency among some |

of the friends of economy and change of,

Government. For several years the cry | against Mr. Brydges was his extravagance. | When Sir Charles Tupper pointed out the waste of public money en the railway he was cheered tothe echo. Naturally enough he assumed that the people wanted to put an end to that extravagance. When he showed how great was the yearly increase ef expenditure over receipts—amounting in the last two years te over a million dollars—he was applauded by all his hearers. Naturally enough he teok it for granted that the people wanted to put an end to deficits on the Intercolonial railway as weil as in the treasury itself. Well, when he came into power he at once pro- ceeded to fulfill his promise. He re- duced the staff; he lessened salaries; he cut off expenses ; he put into operation a complete scheme of retrenchment and strict administration. He has not done so without protest, and the protests have come most bitterly frem friends. Under the late Gevernment things were loosely done. Members of Parliament could get almost anything done. The salaries alone on the road were run up $8,000 in the menth or two previous to the elections in September, 1878. Under the new order of things this could not be dene. Men were dismissed, not taken on; the staff was lessened, not enlarged ; salaries were cut down, not in- creased; members of Parliament - had not the same privileges as _ before. Consequently a good deal of an- noyance has been felt, and some of it is being ably expressed in the St John Sun in editorials and letters. But it is no use being indignant. The Minister of Rail- ways or the superintendent could, at this moment get a dozen—more than a dozen— men fer every situation on thie road at even less salaries than are now paid the men; and as fer freights they have been put down as low as is possible under existing circum- stances. The truthis that the deficit on the Intercolonial must be reduced by Sir Charles Tupper. He pledged himself te that, and to that he has _ bent himself earnestly. The people of the Maritime Provinces applauded his Opposition speeches. They must

It is he who is consistent. It is amusing to notice the tone of the Opposition papers in east. They dare not complain of the reductious ; but knowing that they who are thus cut down complain, they publish as fully as possible lists of the names of the men whose incomes have been decreased, lt is, however, amongst the Government’s friends that the most opposition exists. for itis upon them that the pressure comes hea- viest and first. But what the Minister was to do with an increasiag deficit to keep down and a pledge of economy to keep up no one of the critics is able to suggest. The railway must either be run by ‘the Government or by a company. If the Government cannot run it on economical principles a company would certainly not try. It is from the running of the road on liberal terms by the Government that the country has most to hope. And the Minister of Railways fuily deserves at the hands of the public the warmest support in a pelicy of econemy, the henesty and thoroughness of which are evinced by the fact that it is the Gevernment’s own friends who feel aggrieved at his econemy. ienenieiiiiblainditiilis deem

An Elaborate Fishing Outfit.

The Beaufort-Southerz party left Quebec Thursday afternoon by the steamer ‘‘Acadia,” of the Allan line, for the Natawquan river. The Monetary Times says : ‘‘Perhaps the most elaborate plan of a fishing establishment which has been made of late in Canada is that of the ‘Duke of Beaufort,’ Sir John Read, Mr. Southern and their English party, who purpose salmon fishing on the Natashquan river on the north shore of Quebec. Bed- steads, tables, chairs, tents, have been made to order for the occasion ; ‘a steamer chartered at $1,000 to convey the party down the gulf; the yacht Acculian secured to take them up where the steamer puts them early in June. It is not annovnced what special arrangements Mr. Southern has made on this occasion for the perpetration of the practical jokes of which he is so fond. But it as nearly certain as anything can be that his party will have ‘* lots of fun,”’ and the eclat of this notable pleasure trip can scarcely fail to attract fur- ther influential parties from the old countries to our shores in search of sport. oe —-——

QUININE CORDIAL

which is a combination of Pure Quinine, . with Lime Fruit Juice, cordialised by the addition of Aromatics, but

ENTIRELY FREE FROM ALCOHCL.

Upon the medicinal virtues of Lime Juice and Quinine it is unnecessary to dilate, The combination of two agents of such: universally acknowledged value, in at ence a palatable and innocuous form, has been a disideratum long sought, but only nowsuccessfully accomplished; for although the 7'onic qualities of Quinine have been popularised im the form of QUININE WINES, it is well known these combinations have been attended with serious evils conse- quent upon the Alcoholic Stimulants they all contain, at once prejudicial to health and de- moralising in their tendency.

Aromatic Montserrat Quinine Cordial is guar- anteed to contain one grain of Quinine in each wineglassful, and to be entirely free from al- cohol, being prepared solely from the Mont- serrat Lime Fruit Juice combined with Aro- matics.
