In the classes numbered from one to four inclusive, are comprised every article carried by rail, in less quantities than ear- loads. It will be seen that, in the first and second classes, particularly, substantial reductions have been made.

The car-load rates for the staple products of the soil, as well as for flour and meal, have also -been materially reduced. The old iow rate for mussel mud is maintained, and there has been a reduction ia the car-load rate on lime, a'so applied largely as a stim- ulant to the land.

Again, pork -a commodity produced in large quantities by our farmers—has been reduced from second to third-class for less than ear-load lots; and for car-loads from fourth to fifth-class,—the reduction amount- ing, on a distance of fifty miles, to four cents per hundred pounds for small lots, aud $4 00 per carload, The car-load rate for brick, lumber, ‘coal and salt is practical- ly the same as it was under the old tariff.

The rate for carrying live stock is one of those which has been increased,—though even now, we are informed, the charge for lots of cattle smaller than car-loads ‘* is very much lower than on any other road in Canada.” The increased rate has, how- ever, had the effect of stopping carriage of live stock by rail. Dealers in cattle refuse to pay the charges which are now made. There can be no question about the hamper- ing of the trader and the loss to the railway as # result of this refusal. The only ques- tion is whether or not it wouldn't pay the railway tv carry cattle at prices which would induce dealers to send them by rail instead of by the high road. Perhaps the railway authorities will reconsider this We cannot, of course, expect an absolute loss. But it seems to be a pity that the railway should lose its share of the cattle trade, and thac dealers should deem it better to have their cattle driven slowly and laboriously inte market than to have them brought quickly aud easily by rail.

Presentation to Mr. John E. Evans.

A goodly number of the Masonic and other friends of Mr. John E. Evans, lately in the employ of Messrs. J. D. McLeod & Co., assembled in the Masonic Lodge Room on Saturday evening last, to witness the presentation of an address from Victoria Lodge, No. 2, of which Mr. Evans has been a prominent and popular member for some years past. Worshipful Master W. P. Doull was voted to the chais. The address was presented by Past Master S. ¥. Hodgson. Following is a copy :

To John E, Evans, Esq :

Dear Str AND BrotHEeR,—Having learned of your intention to leave this, your native Province, to make your home in the great neighboring Republic, we, the undersigned, appviated a committee by your Mother Lodge, Victoria, No. 2, Ancient Free and Accepted Masons—to thus wait upon you, beg ta ex- press to you on behalf of all the brethern, our regret at your departure from among us.

Since your connection with Victoria Lodge,

your consistent deportment and devotion to tle interests of Masonry have won the love aud respect of all your bretbern. Always Kind and genial in your disposition, ever mani- festing a lively interest in our ceremonies and teachings, we have learned tolove you, brother, not only for your intrinsic worth, but for your work's sake as well. _ We shall miss you from our fraternal gather- ings, but we feel assured that wherever your lot snall be cast in the future, you will ever be found practicing those benevolent virtues learned at our altar where :—

‘*We assumed the solemn vow ; Foot and knee, breast, hard and cheek, Let them oft our duties speak.”

We are satisfied, brother, that under all circumstances, the important and ever-im- pressive teachings of the Square, Plumb, Level, Rule and Line will continue to ex- emplify themselves in your life. We are sure we voice the sentiments of your large circ!e of acquaintances and friends in this city, when we say your deportment as a citizen has elways been such as to merit the respect and esteem of all.

In bidding you farewell, brother, be assured you carry with you our warmest and best well wishes; and when our earthly pilgrimages shall have terminated may we all meet in that upper and better temple, eternal in the Heavens,

A. 8. Urqu#art, 5. F. Hopeson, JAMES DAVISON, Ch’town, P. E. L., June 14, 1890, Mr. Evans replied as follows : REPLY :

Duar Brotrniers,—The very kind address presented to me by your committee arouses more touching feelings than anticipated in

arting with the iriends with whom I have

feels on leaving his native home for a toreign country, I can assure you a deeper sadness is mine as I now more fully realize how hard it is to suddenly break the tender ties of social

‘and brotherly intercourse that bind my heart

and my feelings to you, my brothers, of Vic- toria Lodge.

Your flattering remarks in reference to my conduct and the interest 1 may have evinced in the welfare of our Lodge are, | tear, unde- served compliments. Any efforts made by me for its success were induced by a fraternal re gard for the teaching of our ancient order. You may rest assured that in my journey through life these lessons will not be forgotten.

In bidding farewell to you, my brethren and friends, I will include other friends not of our society, many of whom 1 cannot have an opportunity of seeing before I leave.

[ trust that, after a life spent in accordance with the principles of masonry, we shall per- petuate our fraternity in the Eternal Temple.

After the presentation, readings were given by Junior Warden Urquhart and Past Master Lawson, recitations by Past Master T. A. McLean and Bro. Gesner, of Keith Lodge, Moncton, and songs were sung by Bros. C. H. Dingwell, James Davi- son and W. T. Huggan. Past Master S. F. Hodgson, Senior Warden D. Melean, Bros. A. A. McLean, A. Macdonald, J. D. McLean, R. McMillan, Alexander Mec- Kenzie and other members of the Order made short addresses, as did also Messrs. Joseph McCarey, Dr. Kelly, W. H. Jack- son, P. A. McIntyre, L. Whear, H. Mc- Innis and others.

Mr. Evans left for his future home in Spokane Falls, Washington, this morning. A large number of friends assembled at the station to see him off, and wish him suc- cess. THE [XAMINER'S best wishes go with him.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

A Word to My Fellow-Workers.

Srr,—The temperance movemeut, like the church, has to suffer persecution and take unto its bosom a host of hypocrites who use the honors and respectability of this position as a mark to canceal their evil purposes. Too often is the finger of scorn pointed at the earnest worker in the tem- perance cause by the wretched dram-drink- ers of the land as an excuse for their own base conduct. Many a manly heart hag been wounded to the core by the back- slidings of a brother who has been taken into the fold of temperance only too scon to disgrace the cause and the worker whose prayers went up in faith for the reclaiming of ‘a soul. We see almost daily our best workers grow discouraged and forsake the post of honor by seeing their society con- verted into a den of discord by the wolves who are always ready to adopt a profession

for the sake of making light of sacred things. This ig why the various temperance

organizations cf our land are 80 short-lived. They spring up pure and stainiess from the true purpose of an earnest band. They bud and blossom early and after a season begin to decline and either ceage to exist alto- gether or live on in the guise of ‘temper- ance, but in reality dangerous transfor- mations, luring to destruction.

These may seem hard words, but they are true, nevertheless, as the temperance worker well knows,

I am a temperance worker myself, and as such, can only attribute our downfall to oar own carelessness, or perhaps charity would be a better word. In our desire to reform the soper, we forget that he may possibly have other vices 4s Jad or worse than the drinking habit. How can’ we expect a person who, when sober, is the bane of suciety, to be a fit subject for the Tem- perance Reform, even should that person cease tippling. the drinking habit is not the only vice or the hardest to stamp out. A sober man or woman who cannot keep peace in their own home, or bring up their children in the right way, are no® fit members for any so- ciety, and must bring evil influence to bear upon any matter in which they have a voice. And yet we are always willing to receive such into our various orders. We do pot wish to keep them out, and in tak- ing them as our helpers we find that they form a society of their own and in the end succeed in running the Lodge or whatever it may be for their own amusement, wholly regardless of the temperance cause.

et is, as temperance workers, be as careful in choosing our helpers and asso- ciates as we would be in choosing ‘a friend in any good cause. Let us prefer a chosen, trusty few to a multitude of evil-doers, and striveto keeptheir-fluence for good at a pres- sure high enough to stamp out evil when- ever we see it in our meetings, and never be afraid or ashamed to banish from our midst those who prove themselves unworthy members of a society which to do good must be as pure as possible, and garnest and true.
