SEND. A DELEGATION.

The long-couflinucd agitation for an im-

proved telegraph service with reasonable

rates has so far resulted in notliing.:At the same time therecan be nosuch thought

question is what to do. Some weeks ago

we suggested that a. delegationjbe sent to

t"Z;...-wi

Ottawa to talk the matteriover with the

members of the federal Cabinet, and we

M still think this is the best course to/pun

sue. There are many reasons why a dele- gation night be expected to prove more

letter or resolu.ion

We believe that our able representative

in the Cabinet, Sir Louis Davies, is fully convinced of the neczessity for it radical

change and will do what he can in reason

to effect it. But the matter is one that

cannot be disposed of byasingle Minister. The entire Cabinet must be interested

and act together. The various heads of

departments have many matters of great weight to occupy their minds and

naturally they first take up those that are 'thought to be most urg.-nt, while other questions :irc relegated to the back- ground for the time For this reason

almost every week a delegation proceeds to Ottawa from some part of the`Domlnion

to specially press upon the 'Cabinet some matter in which their city or section is specially concerned. It very frequently

happens that in this way a delegatilonis successfulln bringing about some greatly needed but long-delayed change. f '

It would seem that our best chance of

success is in adopting’ the common prac-

tice of sending one or more delagatcs to Ottawa. Their presence there vvoull give

j_ I a sense of urgency and lrnport-ance lo the

matter at issue. They could present a

case that would be overwhelmingly strong in fact and reason. They could command immediate attention. They could greatly strengthen the hands ofthe Island Min-

ister. They could, we think, convince the Government thats. reform upon which our entire business community, the local and Maritime Boards of Trade, and the press of the country have expressed themselves

& €\ so strongly ought to be immediately
