Notes and Comments.

The Moncton J'ranscript has called up some roythical ** buyer” to make its Grit readers feel joyful with the news that

“Prince Edward Island is sorely afflicted by the McKinley tariff bill,” and thet ‘* the Island was strongly Liberal before but to day reports re it is overwhelmingly ‘a crt} ught to know that the people of Prince Edward Island are not ih fools t ** overwhelmingly Grit because of an act of the C the United States. We have not to that. Our political opinions are not yet influenced from Washington. The Tran pt’s “buyer” d-slares that the Me-

forging ahead in the British market “According to the official figures, Canada supplied in A ugust ' cheese to the United States thau ail other countries combined. In August, 1889, the total import was 318,349 cwt. Of this, Canada furnished 174,151 cwt., the United States 148,865 and other countries 30,202 in August, this year, the import was a lit: tle greater—325,974 cwt Ot this, Canada 8 ipplied 183,436 cwt., the (| nited ota 106,849 ewt., and other countries 30,659. An advance in one year from 42 per cent. f the total supply to 56 per cent. Is cer- tainly remarkable. What has been done in cheese may be done in other things well, in which Canada possesses excepti ynal capacity of which little use has yet been made. Amongst number, eggs, ol which in August Britain imported 835,400,- 000. Grit pessimists say pooh ! Chey would say pooh to all hopes of a cheese trade were that only beginning instead ol being already firmly established.

— We publish on the last page of THE EXAMINER of to-day some illustrations of the St. Clair Tunnel. These, with the article accompanying them, interesting to the people of Prince Edward Island, who want, most of ali, means ol ‘‘continuous communication” with the mainland. They show how a tunnel has been easily, quickly and cheaply construct- ed under conditions similar to those which exist here, — placeing the possibility of tunneling under the Strait of Northumber- land beyond a doubt. The next question

} } ( ugat to ve

Lo be disposed of is that of the cost. In this connection we should very much like to have a _ carefully

prepared estimate by a civil engineer of the highest standing. lt is true that one or two of the greatest of living engineers have set down the cost of the work, complete, at from $4,060,000 to $5,000,000. But this estimate seems, to maay persons, too good to be true. Something more definite is needed to satisfy an unbelieving generation that the work is not one which will cost more than it will be worth. We trust that Senator Howlan will urge the Government to have the question of cost authoritatively decided. Public opinion might well, we think, be expressed concerning the duty of the Government in respect to this point.

A discussion of the Tunnel question, and its bearing upon the interests of the country, by tke Board of

Trade would show that the Board is alive and that its members appreciate the value of ‘continuous communication” with the mainland,—and might be a means to° in- fluence the Government to settle the only question which now remains in respoct to it, the question of cost.

The Governor-General’ FVisit.

THE vice-regal party will arrive here in H. M. S, Canada at noon on the 23rd inst. The party will consist of His Excellency, Lady Stanley, and Captain Walsh, aide-de- camp.

As far as we have learned, the programme during the Governor-General’s stay will be as follows: His Excellency will land on Pownal Wharf at 2 p. m., on the 23rd, where he will be received by the Mayor of the city with the reception committee of the City Council. Introductions of mem- bers of the Government and leading citizens will probably be made then, should the day prove fine. From the wharf His Excellency and Lady Stanley will be driven to the Provincial Building, accompanied by a guard of honor, where the civic address will be presented. At 3p. m., the same day His Excellency and Lady Stanley will hold a reception at Government House, which has been suitably fitted up by the Government. Particulars of the reception will be given in to-morrow’s issue by the Lieut.-Governor’s Aide,

The Lieut.-Governor will give a dinner party the same evening, and another on the following evening, so that he may be en- abled, in the limited dining space afforded by Government House, to invite as many to meet His Excellency and Lady Stanley as possible during the short time of their stay. After the first dinner party, His Honor the Lieutenant-Governor purposes, we understand, asking the more quietly disposed of our citizens to meet the vice- regal party; and after the second dinner on the 24th he intends giving a grand ball.

These arrangements have evidently been made with a view of affording to everyone an opportunity of seeing the Queen’s representative, and we are satisfied that His Honor’s hospitalities will be gladly accepted.

On the evening of second day the firemen of the city will form in procession, and ac- company His Excellency from Pownal Wharf to Government House.

By the Mayor’s circular, published in to-day’s issue, it will be seen that the citizens are invited to show their loyalty ; and we have no doubt as in the past, so now in the present, they will gladly give & warm welcome to the Queen’s represen- atives.

Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court at Summerside was adjourned last evening. The prisoner Curtis, who was found guilty of breaking into the Presbyterian Church at Alberton and stealing hymn books, was sent to Dor- chester for two years, and Kinch and Me- Alduff, for common assault, take six months in the common jail in Prince Co.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

An Employe Complains.

Sim,—lt is well known that during the early part of the summer an arrangement was made between the four hardware firms of this city by which each establishment was to close its doors at six p. m. This agreement has, up to the present, been faithfully carried out, and it therefore sur- prised the writer not a little to observe last evening that though three of the contract- ing firms still observed the agreement the fourth had thrown open its store and re-called its clerks to what we had hoped was a thing of the past, namely, late hours for the hardware clerks. As the proprietors of the other stores seemto be willing and even anxious to hold to the agreement as signed by themall, surely the old, and I may say the leading hardware firm of Dodd & Rogers will not be the first to withdraw from an arrangement which has proved so satisfactory to both proprietor and clerk, and surely such liberal-minded gentlemen as Hon. T. W. Dodd and Mr. B. Rogers are not the men to stand in the way of such a common-sense and humane arrangement for apart from all other considerations these gentlemen must be aware that the services tendered by a grateful and willing employe who knows that his labors are at an end for the day when the clock strikes six are more and of better quality than those of the clerk whose hours of toil are to drag along from seven or eight a. m. till eight or nine p. m. I therefore hope for the sake of humanity that all the business ®men of Charlottetown will not only hold to old arrangements for the bettering of those in their employ, and their own comfort, but that they may continue in the course pur- sued so well by the hardware firms during the summer,

EMPLOYS. Oct. 16th, 1890.

What is Wrong?

Sir, —What has come over the hardware

dealers ? Turning up an old paper, I find an advertisement signed by all the hard- ware dealers, agreeing to close their re- spective stores at 6 o’clock p. m. from that date (viz., June 15, 1890) and here it is only the middle of October, and one of the oldest firms in the trade already opening up its doors till half-past seven or eight o’clock. I cannot see the consistency of this ac- tion, and think that if the gentlemen who have been the first and only ones as yet to break the said agreement wonld give the matter due consideration, they would see the inconsistency of keeping open late now, just when light and fuel are needed, and which must cost more than the profits of the straggling trade done after supper. lt seems to me only reasonable that if the dry goods and boot and shoe dealers can close at 6 o’clock, that the hardware stores might do the same, as what little trade would be done after night would be in those lines, and not in stoves. Politically, 1 am inclined Liberal wise, and regret that the firm referred to and known to be such supporters of that party, should be so wn-Liberal in this matter, as to deprive some thirty-five or forty young persons of the privileges enjoyed by other clerks (as 1 suppose if one store opens they will all open) especially when it entails no pecuniary loss to themselves.

In conclusion, I may say that I hope there has been some misunderstanding somewhere. If there has, 1 feel confident that Messrs. Dodd & Rogers are the men to rectify it by still conforming to the rule that has given so much satisfaction. If not, their employes, with the rest, have my

My Pretty Jane.

Punch has a parody on the old song of ‘*My Pretty Jane,” su gested by a letter in the Daily Telegraph pvinting out that the rate of marriages is higher when wheat is a good price. The verses are as follows ;

My pretty Jane, my dearest Jane, Ah, never look so shy,

But meet me, meet me in the market, When the price of wheat rules high.

The glut is waning fast, ny love, And corn is getting dear;

Good (Hymen) times are coming, love, Ceres our hearts shall cheer,

Then pretty Jane, though poorish Jane, Ah, never pipe your eye,

But meet me, meet me at the altar For the price of wheat rules high !

Yes, name the day, the happy the day, I can afford the rings

For corn rules high, the marriage rate Mounts up like anything;

The ‘‘quarter” stands at fifty, love, Which for Mark Lane is dear.

Our wedding day is coming, love, Our married course is clear.

Then pretty Jane, if poorish Jane, Ah, never look so shy,

But meet me, meet me at the altar When the price of wheat rules bigh !

The Markets.

THe recent storms and the McKinley Bill and the rot in the early potatoes have, all coming together, somewhat disorganized the local market.

What black oats have offered in Char- lottetown have sold at from 38 to 39 cents. White vats have been selling in Summer- side at from 38 to 40, according to quality. ‘The season for eggs is nearly over. Buy- ers have been somewhat alarmed concern- ing the operation of the McKinley Bill. But they are paying from 13 to 14 cents per dozen.

Only a few potatoes are offering, the weather and the rot preventing business. Quotations are nominal at from 16 to 20 cents.

Shortage of fodder has necessitated the reduction of stocks of horses and cattle. The offerings are consequently large at present, and the demand nil, Farmers who can afford to feed well through the winter will probably obtain good prices in the spring.

We clip the following quotations from the St. John Globe received this morning : Morgan’s S C Pork per bbl. .$16 00 to 17 00 CHOU BOOMs oc ck bbeddeseseue 16 50 to 17 00 Am Mess Pork, per bbl, new.. 15 50 to 16 00 P EI Mess Pork, per bbl .... 16 50 to 17 00

Eggs are quoted by the same paper at from 22 to 23 cents per dozen; Ontario oats at 55 cents per bushel; none offering from P. E. Island.

In the St. John ‘“‘country market” potatoes are selling at 70 cents per bushel.

The Montreal Gazette, Oct. 13, says: Pork and lard continue to hold steady at quotations. Canadian short cut per brl, $17 50 to $18 00

Mess pork, western, per brl, 16 50 to 17 00 Short cut, western, per brl, 17 00 to 17 50 Hams, city cured, per lb, 012 to 0 124 Hams, canvassed, per lb, 0 124to 013 Lard, western, pails, perlb, 009 to 0 093 Lard, Canadian, in pails, 0 08jto 0 084 RO, OAD Sic ksh sae 000 to O 104 OP TE: cancccknane 009 to 010 Lard, com. refined, per lb, 008 to 0 08%

The same paper reports as to eggs: ‘‘ The

McKinley bill has now been in operation a week, but there has been so far no noticeable change in the egg market. The receipts con- tinue very moderate, as the statement of re- ceipts printed above will show. This may be accounted for, however, by the fact that the country was pretty well cleaned up before the bill went into operation. Next week dealers are looking for larger supplies, in which event prices will, no doubt, takea drop. The range to-day was 164 to 174c.
