Correspondence. Editor Daily Examiner:

One of our city papers, the Putriot, in a few words, has advocated cheap baths for the public near the city. ‘This is & move in the right direction, and worthy of the immediate and careful consideration of our people. Even Summerside has beaten us in the race for health. and Souris also—the former having a bathing house within easy reach, for the cheap use of any who wish, and the latter place has one attached to one of its Hotels, which is more than any of ours can boast of. Otber cities have them, and find them both profitable and beneficial; and, even if it did not pay, the speculation might be undertaken by the city for the good of the inhabitants, many of whom do not care about bathing on the shore, and others who cannot walk the distanco necessary now, but who would bathe in the harbor had they the proper at- tendance and safety, for which they would be quite willing to pay the reasonable rate offive (5) cents proposed,

A connected and substantial row of bathing houses, and yet of cheap material, Lmight be had for about a thousand ($1,000) dollars, with all the necessary belongings, and attendants could be had, we should think, for five ($500) hundred more; but these figures may err slightly, and we would be happy to hear from any practical man in our midst and others who may wish to take up the idea and carry it out to a visible existence.

President Hayes rezently declared that there is no intention on the part of the Ad- ministration to annex Mexico; that we do not want more territory, and that, if we did, we should probably choose to extend our possessions northward rather than south- ward. Indeed, the President has more than once signified his-approval of making Canada part of the United States. What~ ever he wishes, however, there is an evident prospect that the necessity will be forced upon us Of taking possession of the north- ern States of Mexico in view of the anarchy prevailing there.

A rather questionable exhibition of clem- ency to prisoners occurred on the 4th of July when the Secretary of the Navy gave orders for the liberation of all persons be~ longing to the naval service confined in the prisons of the Weathersfielu, Conn. ; Mac Island, Cal., New York City, and other places, as well as on board various vessels, so that on the morning of July 5th the naval service had not a prisoner in custody,

bout JU were released, some of whom had nearly served out their sentences. ‘hose whose sentences had included bath adlis-~ honorable discharge and imprisonment were released with the usual allowance of $20, while those confined for trivial offen- ces were restored to duty in the navy. No day could be more [fitting for the exercise of such leniency which, if properly appre- ciate, will result in good; but there is a risk in setting criminals free—they too often return to their wallowing.

The Cabinet has lately been considering Capt. Howgate’s proposition to establish a colony in an extreme northern latitude, as a basis of operations for scientific investix gation, as far as possible toward the North Pole. Although no definite announce- ment has been made concerning it, it is generally understood that the administras tion favors the scheme,

Of all office-hoiders effected by the re- cent order forbidding United States officers to engage in active political interests, Postmasters feel it the most. ‘The Post- master General is the daily recipient of letters from these persons in all parts of the country asking all manner of absurd questions—if they cin be permitted to sign their names to articles calling cauc- uses, etc.

Ex-Marshal Pitkin, of Louisiana, has been in this city in consultation with Gen. Butler, with whom he left a curious me- mento that we shall be likely to hear from. It is one of the miniature coflins, with its appropriate trappings, that were received during election times in certain States as a new style of death-warrant under speciiied contingencies. Butler considers ita great acquisition, and will use it for effect on the floor of the House of Representatives next winter in his grand speech on Southern affairs.

We have reached the superlative degree of hot, sultry weather; but there will prob- ably be no retrograde movement in it for two months yet. M. M. W.

‘Tur Quebec Mercury, which has beer a supporter of the present Ottawa Govern~ ment, is, like Senator Macpherson, a dis- appointed believer in Grit purity. Tbe Mercury has already got to the point of thinking the self-styled Reformers as bad as their predecessors ; it will presently see that they are a trifle worse. The Mercury says: ‘*Thetrue offence of the Govern- ment now at Ottawa is that, entering office on the ground of the shortcoming of their predecessors, they have in office in no res spect improved upon the practice of the Conservatiyes. lt is perfectiy true, as stated by Senator Macpherson, that all they have done in Office in reference to the finances of the country is to change sur- pluses into deficits, and to increase taxa- tion, while thereby yielding the country no results, It is also perfectly true that Mr. Cartwright cannot escape the consequenc:s of any miscalculation or mistake of his own

by the easy process of blaming his prede- cessors, ”

see that when a man occuping Dr. Tups per’s position in the House of Commons is set upon day after day by the Reform organs of Ontario, there is some potent reason besides the love of the public weal at the bottom of the matter. As Mr. John A. Macdonald and as Sir John Macdonald bad years of abuse heaped upon him, so may Dr. Tupper or any other Conservative politician expect the same _ treatment at the hands of the great pipe and small barrel organs. As to the dam- age done to Sir John in the eyes of the public, witness the demonstrations of joy and gladness with which he is res ceived wherever he goes. The dissection to which Dr. Tupper is subjected so fre- quently shows people how clever a man, bow bright a star has arisen, and those who. read the Doctor's speeches, the Glole’s comments upon them, his replies, and the Globe's “ mistatements,”’ if they search in. to the facts of the case, will surely acquit him of that journal’s charges, and view that organ through a darker mist thin before, — Brampton Conservator.

—A THEORY respecting the hard times has been started in the American press, which certainly 15 an ingenious one,

It was held at the time when labour. saving machinery came into general use, that the number of persons employed at minva' labour would not be lessened by it, the jtheory then being that new employ. ments would be created. The new hard times . theory. directly contravenes — this theory, the contention being that labour. saving machinery has tended to dispense with manual labour as well as to put the production of goods far ahead of the con- sumption, in other words to manufacture more than can be used. In 1838 two bundred and thirty-one operatives were re. quired to do the work in the Boott cotton mill at Lowell, Mass. .By working 76} hours per week they were enabled to work the machinery ‘to its full capacity. In 1876, by the aid of improved machinery, ninety persons, working only 60 hours per week, were able to manufacture a larger number of yards of cloth. In this instance one person does the work of more than three persons, the time being estimated by hours. Statements made in regard to other kinds of manufacturing show almost as great « reduction of laborers. Only half as many men were required to manu~ facture the boots and shoes sold in the United States in 1577 as were needed to manufacture them in 1860. A _ similar statement in relation to the manufacture of stoves was given at a convention .of stove-makers held in St. Louis last season; in the manufacture of straw goods three hundred hands «io the work that re- quired a thousand hands only a few years ago. It eppears certain that one farmer can produce more corn and grain by the aid of machines than two men could thirty years ago. Since the establishment ot co-operative dairies, it ts plain that one person can make as much butter and cheese as ten could when the work was done ty hand, One street sweeping ma- chine does the work of a hundred men, while one nail machine performs the labor ot a thousand. Every grain elevator erected causes a hundred grain shovellers to be discharged, while a steam drill ren- ders useless the work of a hundred hand drills. These statistics, and others of a similar kind, are set out at length in the last number of the North American Review. If not convincing, they are at least inter-

esting at this juncture,
