LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Dr. Robertson’s Little Game.
Sir,—The Patriot's correspondents are larboring hard to prove that Dr. Robertson suffered political martyrdom by being dis- qualified by the Dominion House of Com- mons. Now, sir, all this talk may be proper enough from a rabid Grit stand- point, on the eve of an election, but I do not believe even intelligent Grits who know the facts will view this matter in any other light thanthat Dr. Robertson knowing- ly and deliberately disqualified himself, On the night of Dr. Robertson’s nomination at Montague Bridge, in 1882, I happened to be there on business, and hearing of a Con- vention, although a Conservative, I attend- ed to pass away the time. When Dr. Robertson was put in numination, several of his strongest supporters, whose names I could mention, reminded him that it would be necessary for him to resign his seat in the Local Legislature before contesting a Dominion election. In reply to this the Dr. maintained that it was not necessary that he should do so, and iustanced the case of Mr. S. F. Perry in 1876. He was also reminded that Mr. Perry was qualified afterwards by a special Act passed by the Mackenzie Government, and that subse- quent laws in regard to dual representation would disqualify him. But the Dr. replied that he had ‘* legal advice” on the subject, and the matter dropped. I challenge any- one present to deny this statement. The question is, therefore, who disqualitied the Dr?
Yours, &c., CONSERVATIVE. Vernon River, Jan. 24, 1887.
Political Meeting at Fort Augustus.
THE SECRETARY'S REPORT.
About one hundred and fifty electors as- sembled in Fort Augustus Schoolroom last Saturday evening, to hear what the can- didates for Dominion honors had to say on the great political questions of the day.
Meeting was duly organized and was earnest and attentive.
Messrs Ferguson and Campbell made good will-timed speeches ; including an able and astute summary of the Sir John Mac- donald’s Administration, interspered with a warm and cordial approval of its general policy and an ardent appeal to the electors for confidence and support in its behalf. Both did their part manfully and well.
Messrs Davies and Welsh were in their best trim, and touched with skill and pre- cision on all the leading questions at issue, and made excellent and telling points. They contrasted the Liberal and Conser- vative policies and expressed a decided preference for the former as they believed it was the best and most equitable for the Dominion in general and particularly for the Maritime Provinces. Mr. Davies’ oration is the best of its kind we have had here for years,
Mr. Welsh did splendidly. He was ready for anything and able for every- thing.
Short and pleasing speeches were made by Messrs Kelly, Cummiskey and others, A ringing farewell course by the Candi- dates, and then the close.
Micuart Laverry, Chairman. Fort Augustus, Jan, 23, 1887. ———-- >» -— Augustine Cove Notes.
Our respected friend, Mr. John A. How- att, shot four beautiful foxes recently, two of them being handsome silver grey. Mr. Howatt seems to be a very successful fox hunter, as last winter he obtained three foxes, one of them being a silver grey.
We learn that Mr. Richard Cameron, jr., intends going to Manitoba this spring. He will likely have unlimited success as he has triends out there of great influence.
Our worthy teacher, Mr. John Heod, of Tryon, seems to have won the good-will of the whole school. He seems to perfectly understand the mode of imparting the true meaning of words and sentences to the younger ones; while to the older ones of his school, especially to the male portion, he has taken up a very important branch, viz., book-keeping—a branch, 1 may presume to say, which will be in every way desirable, if their occupation is only a farmer.
Mr. David Howan has sold his valuable draft horse Samson, getting a price of one hundred dollars.
Politics are not discussed at a very great extent here; people seem indifferent on that subject as yet.

Hard Coal.
A writer in the Brooklyn Citizen recalls these incidents in the history of anthracite coal. It was first discovered in this coun- try in the vicinity of Maunch Chunk, in the year 1791. A company was formed to work the mine, but people preferred the old-fashioned wood fire. The company
‘persevered in trying to introduce it, and in
1812 sent several wagon loads to Philadel- phia. A few loads only were sold; the company had to give the rest away. But the dissatisfactiun was so great on the part of the purchasers that they turned out and mobbed the agents for selling them a lot of incombustible ‘‘stone.” The com- pany went into bankruptcy. Another com- pany with the same title—the Lehigh—suc- ceeded to the plant, and in 1820 shipped 365 tons to ‘Philadelphia, where by dint of hard effort its agents succeeded in getting a foothold for its consumption. It was not until 1824 that anthracite was introduced into New York, and it was not till 12 years later—-1836--when it was first used as a fuel for engines. From this time onward, slowly and gradually at first,but with a leap at last, it displaced wood and soft coal. The production last year was about 32,000,- 000 tons, and the capital invested in the industry is about $500,000, 000.
An Unfortunate Leader.
(St. John Sun.)
Mr. Blake has been singularly unfortun- ate in his attitude on most public questions. No Canadian statesman has had occasion to apologize for opposing so many measures which time has proven to be right. He en- ergetically resisted the better terms ar- rangement with Nova Scotia in the first years of Confederation, and only a few months ago he was forced by political ex- igencies to admit that he was wrong in the arguments then used. At the time of the purchase of the Northwest, he had no faith in the future of the region which he is now forced to praise. When the Canadian Pacific Railway was projected, he was an unbeliever and a scoffer. Now he cannot dispute the wisdom of the venture. A few days ago he apologized to British Columbia for his slander of that fine province. He opposed protection bitterly and dogmati- cally. ‘To-day he is forced to admit that the policy has neither made the manufac- turers unduly rich, nor the price of goods unduly high. He opposed the railway sub- sidies in the Maritime Provinces—-the Short Line included—and now his_ followers are beginning to explain that ag away, and to promise better conduct ior the future. He bitterly opposed the fishery clauses of the Washington Treaty by speech and vote. He now admits that the treaty was a good arrangement for Canada, and that its abrogation is a mis- fortune. He opposed the Canadian Pacific syndicate bill on the grounds that the sub sidy was too large, though the government of which he was a member had offered more. He insisted that the line could not be constructed in the time given, and lived to see it done in half the time. He held that the railway would not ay if built, and would not be run, He coniplains that now it pays too well. He predicted that only the prairie sections would be constructed under the contract. Before two years passed he learned his mistake. When the Northwest was bought, Mr. Blake thought one cent an acre too large a sum to pay for it. When the syndicate bargain was made he was disposed tu value it at three dollars an acre. When the government took back several million of acres he thought half that price too large. He opposed the late loan to the C. P. R. on the ground that it would never be repaid, and repayment was made long before the time agreed upon. No position taken by Mr. Blake on any great question has stood the test of time. No political prophesy of his has ever been ful- filled. He has first, last, and always been wrong.
The future will show that Mr. Blake is wrong now in his alliance with the so-called national party in Quebec. He is wrong in his opposition to closer connection with the Maritime Provinces. He is wrong im his arguments against the national policy. He is wrong in supposing that he can strengthen himself in Ontario by making ware on Government expenditure in the Maritime Provinces and elsewhere. He is wreng in holding out encouragment in_ Rielites, annexationists, repealers and all sorts of disloyal classes to flock to his standard. He will find in due time that no lasting or use- ful combination can be formed of such dis- cordant elements.
Mr. Blake will acknowledge his error in this Short Line railway business when the interprovincial traflic increases, and the port of St. John becomes an impeortant rail- ‘way terminus. He will admit the blunder of adopting the Rielite platform when the agitation dies out in Quebec, as it will. He and his supporters have already ceased their abuse of the Franchise Act.

Railway officials and employes are receiv- ing the following circular from headquar-
ters at Moncton :
TO ALL OFFICERS AND EMPLOYES.
The honorable minister of railways and canals considers the practice of sobriety by all the oiticers and employes of the railway to be of so much importance that he has given orders that their attention shall be again called to the subject, and that the orders alreacy issued shall be repeated, and made more strin- gent.
Rules Nos. 59, 60 and 61, of the time table, circular No. 62, dated February 23rd, 1883, and circular No. 64, dated April 5th, 1883, will be strictly enforced.
The use of intoxicating liquors when on duty is prohibited.
Persons who are not of sober habits, or who frequent taverns, or similar places, or who give evidence of the use of intoxicating liquors will not be employed or retained in the ser- vice.
Any person who is intoxicated, either when on duty or when off duty, will be at once dis- missed from the service.
All persons in charge in any capacity, in- cluding the foremen in workshops, will be held responsible for the sober character of the men employed under them, and they must ceport at once any Violation of these rules. It is to be noted that the making of such reports will be a matter of duty, the neglect of which will be punished by dismissal from the service,
As the observance of these rules will not only increase the comfort and safety of the
ublic, but also promote your own welfare, it is confidently expected that you will cheer- fully comply with them. D. Porrincer, Chief Superintendent.
