The St. John News says the Globe’: sug- gestions may or may not be entitled to con- sideration. But it seems pretty clear that Parliament will be called upon to surround banking institutions with more effective guards than exist in the public intereat.

The St. John News says that: With the|

pity felt for poor shareholders of the Bank of Prince Edward Island, whose property has been so shamefully misused, there mingles much satisfaction that the note- holders and depositors of the ruined in- stitution are ensured against loss by the smash-up.

The St. John News reports: “ A ruimor was circulated quite freely on the streets to-day, first that the Merchants Bank of Halifax was in difficulty, and later it was said to be the Merchants Bank of P. E. island. On inquiry we find that there is no foundation for either rumor, and are authorized on the very best authority to say that there is no difficulty in the case ef either Bank.”’

The Monetary Times remarks, concerning the Bank of P. E. Island, that “‘ If the un- authorized advances at all approach the sum named, it should have been possible for the Board to ascertain it earlier than they did. Their failure te do so adds another instance to those already toe num- erous on this continent, of insufficient supervision by directors. It may also result in providing some check by means of return to government, from which the Island banks were, by the terms of union with the Dominion, exempted.”’

Again the West, the large-brained pro-

gressive West, has been giving the rest of |

the world some practical hints—this time on the handiing ef bank officials who are careless or worse, A Kansas banker, hav- ing closed two institutions of whicn he was manager, was arrested, with his cashier; a large number of citizens promptly took the two gentlemen from their legal custodians and conveyed them elsewhere, the cheerful supposition of the community being that the captives are to be lynched. It cannot be doubted that the assets of the banks will be increased thereby, for bodies in good condition bring twenty-five dollars each at flourishing medical colleges. It is quite Certain, too, that if the two men are lynched there will be no more broken banks in Kansas for a few months, and that, as the story finds its way about the country,a numbor of defaulting cashiers will disappear at once, instead of waiting until they have completely ruined their re- spective banks. There is no originality a, this plan of Pestthing derilict officials, for in China it has long been the

| A cable despatch indicates that the land | agitation is taking stronger hold in Scot- ‘land. At a meeting held in Aberdeen | the otherday upwards of two thousand dele- | gates, representing some 40,000 tenants, were present. Resolutions were passed de- manding several important changes in the land lawand a general reduction in the rents. A farmers alliance for Scotland was formed.

The Scotch land tenants are evidently jabout to take a strong hold of the land \question. Their brethren in England wilil, | without doubt, fellow suit. The time is \ripe for such action. It is to be hoped | the necessary changes will be effected in |@ perfectly peaceable manner and with as little suffering to any class as the circum- stances will admit.

A marble tablet has been placed in the ladies’ waiting room of the Baltimore & Potomac Depet to mark the spot where President Garfield was shot. The tablet is of American statuary marble and consists 'of a sill resting upon corbels, outside of which are two pilasters representing the axe and fosces. The draped flags form a canopy over the inscription in gold letters : ‘* James Abram Garfield, President of the United States, July 2nd, 1881.” The whole is surmounted by an eagle with outstretched wings holding in his talons a a bundle of arrows and laurel leaves.

The ‘‘Chureh of England Temperance |Chronicle” thus writes of the tie which | binds the colonies to the mother country : | Poetry and patriotism are happily blended in the designation which has go aptly given to our colenial possessions by Sir Charles Dilke. ‘‘Greater Britain” is a phrase which touches many hearts, for in this travelling age there are few English fami- lies unconnected by very close ties with parts beyond the seas. The sons and daughters of Great Britain go in their thousands year by year to pe ple other lands, and the old folks at home leve to cherish the thought that their dear ones are still under the sway of England’s (Queen, and that citizenship in the old country had only been relinquished for its equivalent in a Greater Britain. Poets, artists and authors have eften exercised their genius in depicting the gratification with which news from the old country is welcomed abroad. There is another side to the picture, perhaps not so romantic, but none the less suggestive ; namely, the intense satisfaction which every stay-at. home patriot must feel, upon receiving intelligence of the increased prosperity and steady advance of the colonies.”

Treatment Aboard an

| Inhuman | Island Vessel.

TERRIBLE SUFFERING OF A POOR SPANISH

SAILOR. i

THe Cuban sailor who arrived by the Western train on Monday evening, endured | at the railway station in the city, His! treatment by the captain and crew of the brig ‘* Willie” was most inhuman; and, judzing from the foilowing statement made by him, and translated from language by Mr. F. D. Wieland, of the firm | of J. & W. Boer, it is evident that #f the | crow had the necessary courage, they vould |

| have taken the poor man’s life.

Bradat Branlio, Madrodret Martonella, | native of Cardini, Cuba, twenty years old, | came from Panama in September last, and | re shipped on a brigantine supposed to be | destined for Baltimore, Md. Not being able to speak English, he, on examination |

iby Mr. Wieland, found great difficulty in

pronouncing the name of the vessel, but |

thought it wes ‘* William.” On | being shown the word " Willie,’ in | llarge letters by Mr. Wieland, he re-|

to permit the Manager thus to scatter the | ee first night the vessel Iay in port was very | cold,

beat him very severely. He sought redress | from the captain ; but was knocked down | and kicked by him. In this way he continued to receive ill treatment from all on board. He got but little to eat—the scraps from the galley. His bed was on deck nearly eli the cold and stormy voyage. On arrival at Cascumpec, or a port in Prinee County, he asked the captain for money or boots, as he was almost barefooted But here the cruel inhuman captain not only refused to give him the comfort he asked but struck him

The deck was covered with a heavy fall of snow. Notwithstanding this he was compelled to sleep on deck, as usual. The following day he was subjected to further illtreatment, beaten and refused food, and compelled to sweep the deck and work all day alone, On that day, a Spanish ship- mate, taking pity on his miserable con- dition, gave him an old pair of boots, filled with holes; still they were better than the ones he previously possessed. At dark, having wholly cleaned the deck, being still refused admission to the forecastle he lay down in a long-boat to sleep. On waking in the merning, his feet were so badly frozen that he lost the use of them. His feet frozen and his body cold as death, he sought admission to the galley te warm himself. This he was refused. Now the pain became so intense in his feet that he beat them with a hatchet but could not feel the blows. Not being able to stand privation any longer, he entered the galley, and lay down, he says, to die. The crew endeavored to eject him from the galley, but he defended himself from them with a pan, and refused to leave. Afterwards he was put ashore, and taken by afarmer to Alberton Station. He boarded a train and was carried some distance, but was put off at one of the sta-

tions. He was here cared for by a farmer for two days, and then brought to Charlottetown, where he remained

inthe Railway Station waiting roem all night, and was taken tothe Hospital the folowing morning.

The vessel on which this unfortunate seaman was subjected to such treatment, is said to be the brig. ‘* Willie,” Captain Casey, owned by Hon. Jchn Lefurgy.

The statement of the sufferer could not, we are informed by Mr. Wieland, be shaken by cross-examination.

He is now undergoing treat ment at the Charlottetown Hospital.
