Besides, Southport and Char'ottetown may be rented or sold, and thetwo ferry~boats may be sold or used for other purposes. If this were done, there would be a considerable offset to the annual subsidy to be paid to the Governmentat Ottawaon account of in cornection with the proposed railway bridge. The actual anoual cost to the people of the Province would, indeed, be reduced from $10,000 or $12,000, to $5,000 or $6,000.

We trast that it will not be regarded from the party point of view. Mr. Martin’s idea is, of course, that, if adopted, a difficulty which some persons fee in the way of the conetruction of the Belfast and Murray Harbor railway will be removed; while the people who have to cross the Hillsborough will have better accommodation at less coat.

He*is not a candidate for anypublic position

Walter Lowe is not in politics. or office. He is strictly a private citizen. Like other private citizens he, of course, belongs to one of the political parties of the country, and he desires to do business with men of both partiee. It isto be pre- sumed tbat the Liberal Government was satisfied concerning his ability and integ- rity when they awarded bim the work of constructing the annex to the Hospital for the Insane. Mr. Lowe entered upon this work. He placed, it is said, $8,000 worth of materialsgupon the ground. But when he began to lay the foundation, he found that amistake had been madeby the Government’s architect, andthat if he went on according to tle plans one end of the building would be in the air. He reported the matter to the Government and, naturally, had some words with the architect. But the mistake was not his. The mistake ought evidently to have been rectified—not at his expense. He ought tobave been placed in as good a position as if it had not been made, But this was not done, though the Hon. Donali Farquharson is reported to have declared to Mr. Lowe that it ought to have been done. Finally the matter was brought before the Legislature, and Mr. Farqubarson failed to give Mr. Lowe the support that Mr. Lowe says he promised to give. Naturally Mr. Lowe felt enraged at this, and published aletterin Tae Ux- AMINER, in the couree of which he chal- lenged Mr. Farquhareon to deay the truth of certain statements, Thischallenge was not accepted. But, instead, a dirty little letter was published inthe Patriot in which it was intimated that Mr. Lowe’s character was such that he wae not worthy of money and that he was widely known in a bad

WEALTHY CITIZENS’ DUTY.

Mr. Joun F. Campion is President of the Board of Trade in the City of Denver. Mr. Campion was, a few years ago, a member of our Legislative Council. But he went west, and bas found fortune,

As President of the Board of Trade, Mr. Campion, a few days ago, delivered

on “ Annual Address ” which, one of the Denver papers says, was a ‘“ galvanic shock ” to the putatively wealthy men of Denver. Io the course of his address, Mr. Campion said :

*“ Public epirit in this town is as dead as Lots wife after she was turned into a pular of salt. With many of our citizens who came into this community as inno~ cent of worldly gcods as Adam was when he made his first appearance in the garden of Eden, and who in many cases grew ricb in spite of themeelver, it is consider- ed a siv greater tham any in the Decalogue to contribute to any enterprise that hae for its object the development of the natural resources of this magnificent common- wealth. To this class of citizens I wieh to say that the right ot citizenehip has its duties wnd responsibilities, and that these obligations cannot be ignored or evaded by any honest man who cares to retain his own self reepect. It is only fitting and proper, juct alike tothe present and future, that every citizen of this commonwealth should contribute his moral and materia) support in developing the splendid re- cources of this young giantess of the west. The shibb_leth of this community should be, “no room here for flies on the wheels of progress.’

“To the scores and ecores of this class of people in this community, who have acquired boundless weslib, far beyond their wildest dreams of imagination, and who persistently refuse to contribute to any enterprie having for its object the development of some of the many splendid na ural resources of this state, I have only to say that one day “sll you can hold in your cold dead hand is what you have given away.”

We have quoted these words, not only because they are those of an old and esteemed friend, but because it is possible that they may have an application here.
