The mission to Washington, it is urged, was devised as a means of avoiding these ills and an excuses for not interfering to any serious extent with the tariff at the coming session, by showing that the atti- tad? of the American authorities rendered appreciable reduction of the Canadian tariff impossible. In support of this view it is pointed out that there is no time left the Government for a thorough revision of the details of the tariff. this position by the statements of Ministers that they do pot anticipate any serious alterations at the coming session.

NOTES AT SUMMERSIDE,

Sir, Were 1.01 aware of the fact that the survey from Indiam Poivt to the light- house in Snmmerside harbor for the proposed breakwater, has been completed ? Some of the few faithful reaped quite a harvest and all the bills have been duly paid except that for washing. There seems to be some trouble over this small matter, and ithas to go to Ottawa for adjustment, The plans for the work and the advertisement for tenders will be oat Ly May er Jane and the contract let in they dog days, This will save coal and the cost of artificial heat resulting in great saving to the Government at Ottawa. As saving mony to the country and eccnomiring is the forte of the present Liberal party, po one can find fault with their copsistency in their favorite line. One worthy citizen suffered severely from the inclement weather prevailing at the time of the sur- vey and he vows that he will not take another job from the Government uuless it is given him in genial summer weather, washing or no washing.

The steamer Petrel was to solve the d fficulty of winter navigation in the Straits. She is a magnificent oat in build and strength, and her accommodation for the

travelling public is regal. She, like the young maar in the Sacred Book, lacked

only one thing—power. Of course this is not so very serious a defect when you come to think of all her other many excellent qualities, She did remarkably good work in early winter before ice hai to be con- tended witt; but when Jack Frost blew his cold blast frum the Arctic regions actually forming a thin crust of ice on the water, what could shedo? As she was not built to travel on ice and had not, by a slight oversight, the power to pass through it,

all she could depend on was her steam whistle. Towards spring when the warm suo and genial showers shall have

dissipated the inhospitable ice, we hope to see her running regularly and her services duly commended by the Deacon, the Pioneer and the Minister of Marive. At present she is hard and fast in the ice at Cape Tormentine wharf, and her crew, on full pay, are industriously taking an ac- count of the currents and flow of ice in the straite for future reference, There are those who say that this ecientific investi- gation could bave as accurately and more cheaply been conducted at Sammerside Railway wharf. One experienced Sum- merside captain is, however, on record against taking observations of this kind on any of our wharves. He thinks the run- ning ice in the Straits 1s too distaut from the point of observation to ensure accur- acy. His opinion may be correct, and is wortby of consideration, but the Cape Ter:neniine wharf may be more happilv situated as to elevation. In addition to the value of the Petrel and her crew. from a scientific standpoint, great service has been rendered in the thick weather by the boat blowing her steam whistle. There is no doubt but that her power to blow is her strong point, resembling in this particular the Government by which she is employed. As the Liberal party are strong on com- missions, why not appoint one to ascertain why the Petrel does’rt travel? We can name several for the job if the suggestion is adopted.

So great has been the pressure of the unemployed and their friends at Cape Traverse that the number of couriers. and ice boats have been greatly increased Still there are applicants unprovided for, breathing threateningsandslaugh'eraguinat the government. It is imposs;ble to pro- vide for all the*faitiful. A suggestiou might be of service to the party in power. Why not increase the crew of the steamer Petre] to assist in taking scientific obser- vations on board of that ocean greyhound.

While only thinking of ‘curselves and

our personal waats the mind contracts; but let us look abroad for expansion. There is another subject that should be-

gin to engage our attention. What ehall we do in this province te celebrate our Gracious Queen’s Diamond Jubilee? Her raign is not only remarkable in lenght but it is still more so in the advancement of civilizations, iis wonderful discoveries in artsand sciences and the material growth ofthe British Empire. Britain in its splendid isolatiou keeps marching forward regardless of opposition, adding territory to territory, and inc eas ng the aphere of her trade and influence. During the latter part of the reign she has been many times oo the verge of war with more than one of the great powers—once with Germany over the Transvaal question, and twice with the United States; first over the Venezuela trouble, and now over the strained relations existing between our own Premier and the coun-el for the United States in the Bebring Sea arbitra. tion. Searcely had the irritation caused by the quarrel over the South American Republic been allayed, than these nations —the most powerful in the world~are srraved against each other, owing to the wordy victory of our Premier over the American counsel. At present it is im pos-ible to foresee the result. It is a pity that the Premier did _ not take his fighting partner from the Cabinet with him to the Pacific. If we had him on hand the Americans would be knocked out in the first round. As itiswe sball have to await evests qaietly, feeling assured that our Premier will keep us posted in all bis personal victories in Jegal sparing. After all, a knowledge of these victories is far more elevacing and important to us than the progress ofthe arbtration. The award will after all,be only a gross sum of vulgar money while the personal victories are intellectual. If we safely emerge from this last and greatest national trouble, some- thing fitting to the oecasion should be at- tempted in the jubilee year to commemor- ate our deliverance. No doubt the danger and trouble is magnified by dealers in stocks to promote mercenary projects; for our own Premier has openly declared that he cherishes no ill-will towards the United States or their Council. This statement so geverously made should pour oil on the turbulent nationa! feeling. Wise May or rae West.
