OCTOBER 8, 1890.

It is significant fact thas Hitt, Butter- worth and Sherman, the leaders of those who have posed as friends of Canada, the allies of the Grit Party of Canada in the

Unrestricted Reciprocity campaign, voted for the McKinley Bill ! W hat are we going to do about the

visit of the Governor General ! Shall we

permit the representative of the Queen to go without having a taste of sland hospitality? If a public entertainment or to that

come and ; Prince Edward there is to be demonstration of any kind, action end should be taken at once.

Educational In-

The proposal of the ‘* educational

stitute that there shall be an exhibit ” will, no doubt, be favorably con- sidered by the directors of the Exhibition Company. Our boys and girls can, they set their minds to the work, prepare & most interesting department of the exlnib- ition of next year. We that they will be encouraged to do so

The Patriot complains that reciprocity from the N. P. We might have had reciprocity in compaDdy with thestates of South America, if the Grit Party had not by their ceaseless agi- tation for Commercial Union, and Unre- stricted Reciprocity at any price, filled the people of the great Republic with the idea that Canadian trade is dependent upon them and that annexation mast inevitably result from a continuance of their hostile policy.

-Mr. Fred. L. Hanford—whom many readers of Tuk Examrtner will be glad to see again—intends to visit Charlottetown in the course of a few days, bearing with him a model showing a portion of the line

f the Chignecto Ship Railway, also the dock, and method of raising vessels on the cradle from dock to rails. The model, which is valuable, will no doubt be viewed with great interest by our merchants and especially by those engaged in the shipping. The benetit to P. E. Island trade to be de- rived from the operation of this railway is at present incalculable.

The Sun of Truro praises highly the telephone system under Mr. Angus. The Sun says :—

‘‘ The fact is forced upon us that we had much .more pleasure and satisfaction in send- ing messages and receiving replies by tele- phone on P. E. Island, than in any place we ever tried the operation.”

And again, —

‘All business people are pleased with it and speak very highly of it, the whole ar- rangements giving the utmost satisfaction.

The Sun concludes that “these satisfac- tory results are due tothe energy, ability and business push of Mr, Rob Angus, a gentleman whom many of the people of Truro will remember very favorably.”

- There is nothing in the long and able letter from Professer Shaw, published by Tue ExaMINER, more pertinent than his remark concerning pure bred sires. Our farmers have not yet arrived at a correct idea of the great value of these animals. This is the fact particularly in respect to the breeding of sheep and cattle. We con- stant!y see splendid pure bred animals sold to the butcher for a song, long before their usefulness as sires is gone, It isa pity, we think, that farmers in a settlement in which each cannot afford to keep a pure bred animal of this kind, do not club to- gether for*the purpose of maintaining him and sharing in his services, and so improv- ing their respective herds.

~—There is one pleasing feature of the recent meeting in Charlottetown which should not be overlooked. We refer to the regatta and the creditable efforts put forth by the South End Boating Club. Good, wholesome, manly sport is obtained upon the water by those who like it- and their name is legion. We possess a sheet of water, in which to engage in aquatic sports, second to none in America. The young men amongst us who are engaged in the promotion of these sports deserve credit and encouragement. They have for several years past worked bravely under adverse circumstances, and they have triumphed over many difficulties. They are evidently made of the stuff which constitutes a nation’s chief resource in troublous times. The manner in which the late regatta was conducted is worthy of commendation. We learn that they are organizing for additional improvements. We trust that they will receive a more favorable recognition from the public in the future than they have ob- tained in the past.

~We have received a copy of the New York Mail and Express, containing the

very able lecture on the ‘*Medical Aspects of Mental Discipline,” delivered by Dr. W. H. Thomson, Professor of Materia Medica and Therapeutics in the University Medical College of that city, at the open- ing exercises on the 30th ult., when this fine old school, which ranks among the first on the continent, celebrated its semi- centennial anniversary. This lecture is well worthy of perusal by those interested in such subjects. As to its reception in the Empire City, and the prospects of the institution in which Dr. Thomson occupies a chair , we quote from the Mail and Ez- press :

** To-day begins, the semi-centennial session

of the Medical Department of the University of the City of New York, and there was, there- fore, added interest in the usual introductory lecture which was delivered last night before the assembled students and their friends. ‘Time has been kind to this great school. It prospered wonderfully, and to-day on its rolls there are some six hundred students, of whom one hundred and sixty or so matriculated for the first time this fall. Its corps of professors is of the best, containing names known all over the country. Last evening the large lecture room in the Medical Department building at No. 410 East Twenty-sixth Street, with its banks of seats, was filled every inch of it with students and their friends. The seats were not enough to hold them all. So they over- flowed into the aisles and clustered around the door.”

We may mention, by the way, that sev- of our Island boys are attending this school and we hope that they will be among those who will shed lustre upon their Alma

AN INTERESTING LETTER FROM CHAPPELLE,.

REV, BENJ,

The following letter from Rev. B. Chappelle, Aoyama Tokyo, Japan, to his brother here will be read with much inter- est:

‘We are spending August here at Arima among the mountains. Our work begins the 3rd Sept, and continues till the last of June, and as July is largely taken up with conference we have really only the month of August for vacation. Here we avoid the intense and oppressive heat of Tokyo in midsu:nmer, and so one difficulty is solved, how to exist through the dog-days, have had the society of a number of missionaries from China as weil as our own. We are nearer the millenium here than you are iu P. E. Island, or than you were when I knew it. Here all Protestant denomin- | ations unite with greatest cordiality. On| one Sunday morning the service is Episco- | pal, on the alternate without ritual. — On | Sunday evening we have prayer meetings, | and three times a week Bible readings in| which ali unite, Episcopal, Baptist, Pres- | byterian, Covugregationalist and Methodist. | Sunday evening Rev. Mr. Tyng, American | Episcopal, asked our prayers that as a Bishop was to be chosen for them in a few weeks, that the right man be sent. Is not that a new thing under the sun, to ask us te unite in such a prayer. | vas told that Rev, Mr. Warren, (English Episcopal) re- cently partook of the Lord’s Supper at the hands of native Congregationalist min- ister. Such aspiritas that would bring very near the church of which your great- grand-father and mine was the first church

warden, and the church whose foundatious

‘*We were drawn last week near to our Episcopal brethren in a bereavement that befel them. Rev. J Harvey, of China, English Episcopal, was married the week before to a lady of the China Inland Mis- sion. A few days after, he started on 4 wedding tour to Japan, intending to come to Arima. On Monday, on board the steamer, he was taken with cholera, and on Tuesday died. When, on landing, his wife asked where the funeral would be, she was told that as quickly as_ possible after death the body had been buried through the port-hole of the state-room, and allthe contents of the room burned. The much dreaded cholera is spreading in every direction. It first inade its ap- pearance at Nagasaki, and has been most prevalent there, there having been thus far 2,300 cases, and 1,400 deaths in that city. This is no country for anyone who is fear- ful—who lacks trus: in a Father's care. What, with earthquakes, volcanic erup- tions, typhoons, robberies, murders, anti- foreign feeling, enervating climate, and deadly pestilence, there is plenty of room for fearfulness and worry for those who in- dulge ir such things. And yet it is a beau- tiful land, resting in its loveliness under the smile of Heaven, and over it all, as over all lands, our King shail reign.

‘The Presbyterian mission in Korea has suffered a great loss in the death of Dr. Heron. He took his wife and child a little distance into the country and settled them for the summer, and himself went back to his work in the hospital at Seoul. But he was seized with typhus and succumbed. He was afyoung man, He came out to assist Dr. Allen at a time when Vorean mission work had a romautic interest. Dr. Allen went to Corea at the time of the revolution there, and while others were fearful of their lives he worked night and day among the wounded and dying One of the princes had been ecalped aud he was called ta attend him. He consnited a ductor or board a msan-of-war, who advised him now to undertake it, as he was almost sure of losing his patient and it might be a great injury to Dr. Allen. But he persevered and brought him _ through. The King asked him what he _ might give him as an expression of gratitude. The Doctor asked nothing for himself, but asked the King to build and endow a_hos- pital for his own people. This was done and given in charge of Dr. Allen, and, as I ssid, Dr Heron came out to assist in the work that seems providentially to open. Since then, however, the work in Corea has not been so encouraging. The preach- ing of Christianity is contrary to the law of the land, sothe missionaries can but live it (perhaps one of the best kinds of preaching) and wait until religious liberty is conceded, and they can baptise those who profess Christ, and write them in church fellowship.

Sunday afternoon we found in a face-off part of the town an old and very pvor woman seWing some rags together for clothing. There soon gathered round us quite a congregation of dirty and miserably

clad children and grown persons. The old woman told us that she was of the Mono or reformed sect of Buddhists, When asked if she had found the peace that she desired she said no. I go and pray at the temple, yet, ] do not get any left. Yet it is no fault of the gods,—

it is my fault. A little while ago she said : ‘I concluded that I must go to hell—that there is no help for it, because I am so old and poor that I cannot go to the temple as often as [ ought.’ This little incident un- veils a world of pathos concerning these poor souls that grope around the darkness but do not find the light, who seck rest, but know not of Him who said, ‘Come unto Me and I will give you rest.’ And yet, miserable souls who have had the light of the gospel all their lives, begrudge sending its knowledge to such needy ones as these.” BEN.

The Montreal correspondent of the Hmpire | had wn interview on the 3rd inst. with Captain | Hamilton Gunn, of London, Eng., who was! reported to be in Canada as the representative | o. the Inman Steamship Company for the pur- | pose of ascertaining if a sufficient quantity of ' freight could be procured at Canadian ports to | justify the Inman’s in putting some of their | largest steamers on the Canadian route. The report Mr. Gunn declares, is erroneous from beginning to end. He has no connection with the Inman Company. ‘I have on hand,” he} said, ** one of the most important schemes ever launched in America. The enterprise is back- | ed by twelve million pounds sterling.” The reporter asked if he could give details, but | Mr. Gunn stated he could not do so until; January next. ‘But I can say the scheme! embraces a railway through Canada with ite | terminus in Nova Scotia, and also connection | with New York. It is proposed to build | Atlantic steamers of not less than 10,000 tons, | and by utilizing the land and sea route New) York will be brought within four and a half; days of England, and I may also add that’ steamers will likewise be put on lakes Huron | and Superior.” This scheme he says, has! nothing to do with the Labrador exten-| sion, nor has it anything to do with the Ter- minal City scheme. } —_- pee \ }

South Africa’has one of the most mixed populations in the world. With the des- cendants of the Dutch and English col- onists and the natives are mingled Malays, East Indians and Arabs, and _ representa- tives of almost every maritime Asiatic country. The indications are that they will soon all be voters. The government | of the Cape proper has given the franchise to the non-tribal blacks, and the Chief Jus- tice of Natal has just decided that the coolies also must be put on the voters’ lists. The experiment will be an interesting one. for the blacks and yellows are about as two to one of the whites. The blacks, how- ever, aspire to be ‘‘Englishmen,” and have, therefore, voted the ‘‘English” ticket on everything, from fighting the Boers to building railroads.
