Tue Gaspesia steamed Out of our har- bour in the quiet silence of Christmas morning. Not many were on the wharf tosee her off and bid her good speed. For although it was well understood that she was filled to overflowing with our farmers’ products, it was not genersll” known that she carried a very notable passenger—no leesa personage than the High Commissioner on behalf of the Government and people of Prince Edward Island to— well, not exactly to the Court of Si. James, but to the merchants and consumers of Great Britain. Some persons may be surprised to learn that there is such @ functionary, and most of all that he is Mr, Joseph Wise, M. L. A. If it had been known that Mr. Wise,—

licitously dubbed “ Sir Joseph” by his t..ends—and not unlikely to be Sir Joseph in reality before he returns—was on board, the wharves would have been black with cheering people as he passed out of our barbour.

“Sic Joseph ”—we adopt the familiar appellative—sailed away a proud man; aad he left bebind a weil-pleased Government. All legitimate trade brings profit to both parties; and there has evidently been A few weeks ago, Sir Joseph was, in the forcible, if somewhat

“damuing the Government up in heaps.” He “ nad no use for Farquharson,” and he wrote a letter to the Editor of the Patriot

will be performed. The report of our | High Commissioner to Great Baitain will

be awailed with interest and imoatience.

The Guardian sees visions of “practical

information,” in it; and we suppose that

the result will be that Mr. Joseph Wise—

fresh from the presence ofthe Queen—

will, upon his arrival home, be created Commissioner of Agriculture and Trade, and that he wll vote with “the Farquhar- son Administration,”

Premier Farqubarson is to be congra- tulated upua his Christmas strategy. But we are not at all sure that it will secure the permanence of his government. It is related that when the ancient Romans began to buy off their enemies with geld outofthe public treasury, their enemies increased in number, difficulties mul«'- plied, and their Empire speedily diesolved. We entertain the idea that it is possible that the purchase of eupporters—even if made at a cheap rate—will cause others ‘o demand a forfeit, will result in Joss and disgrace to the Province and lead to such jealousies and divisions in the party of the mrjority as will speedily resvlt in tle downfall of the government which resorts to it,

Wants Better Trajn and Mail! Service.

Sir, —It doée seein passing strange that with this mild weather and all the time for the authorities to put into execution those favors which the press aesures us hare been telegraphed fr m our influential rulers, the mail service is int lerably bad—indeed has never been worse ia my whole experience of eleven years in the west. Tie Board of Trade cinnot have realized this or we would have bad a change or a hearty pro- test. Tospme persons it doth appear not a little surprie:og that thie Island community ig in the same position with regard to mails, putting up with the same incon- veniences, delays, stupidity of officia'-, etc., a8 it was ten years agc—aye, perbaps twenty, all of which, or about all of which, couli be avoided and would not be suffered twenty-four hours elsewhere. Is the Board of Trsde, so potent in effecting useful im- provements, devoting its serious attention to the communication problem? It ia the first in importance to us of all our Islacd concerne, and it were a pity to be “ split~ tisg hairs twixt west and nor’- west on simple effaira,” while mattere of such m ment impatiently await regulation. Are they afraid of this interest and that, —and therefore put off pushing for immediate connection at the Capes where, with any kiad of activity, we ought, inside a year at least, to have Provincial connec« tion with every through train on the other side. It has got to come to this; why hesitate for this or that ioterest, loval, personal, or corporate, to briag it about at once ?

And I would like to call the Board of Trade’s attention to our Western train wauts io winter especially, and unt'l a way out Of this “splendid isolation” be atforded by conaection at the Capes. Why could nota generous government and a progressive railway management give us ibe two trains a day is winter that operate between thetwo town’s? The extra cost would oot be adrop in the bucket, and if any portion of the road ought to be served it is that which supplies a large proportion of the revenue, After Christmas we will be obliged to spend a whole day on aslow and antiquated train going to the capital and another getting back. This is certainly not what ie being dove for Nova Scotia or New
