THe Datty EXAMINER NOVEMBER 25, 1881. The Savings Bank Question.

It is pleasing to note that the Sum-

merside Jonrnal is ventilating the Sav-| ings Bank Question. The intention,

in this case, is sood But it is to be} regretted that the ed tor of the Jowrnal did |

" ! take tne

inform himself of the facts.

not, before writing, trouble to} He says ;— ‘‘That the people ef Ontario have no faith in the advantage of Government Sav- ings is made apparent by there being no that at Tor ento, and less than half a million in deposit | in that.’ The facts are : there are upwards of two | hundred and fifty (250) Savings Banks | in Ontario, outside of Toronto; there | are about three millions of dollars | ou deposit therein; and during the last | year, of which we have an official return, (notwithstanding the blighting effects of | the National Policy) the amount on de- | posit has been increased by twenty-seven per cent! Every considerable village in Ontario | has its Savings Bank; and, if the Island | were as well served, we should have| nothing to complain of, in this particular. | These Savings Banks are a'l in con- | nection with the Post.Office Department ; | and, referring to them, the Postmaster | Geueral, in his last report, says :— ‘* The five months that have passed since | the 30th June, 1880, have been marked by a continued increase in the business, taxing to the utmost the ability of the| Central staff to keep pace with the increase, | the number and amoznt of tranzactions | being largely in access of those fer the cor- | responding period in 1879. * * * ¥ * - “* + ' |

’

The Post Office Savings Bank sustained no losses by fraud or otherwise during the year ended 30th June, 1830, and attempts | te commit fraud in connection with deposits | in the Post Office Savings Bank aro foriu- | nately extremely rare.

Altogether, the Post Office Saving’s

jank system seems to have been very | successful in Outario and Quebec. Why should it not be extended to Prince | Edward Island? There should certainly | be a Saving’s Bank in Alberton and | Summerside-in Souris and George- | town; while such wealthy and thriving settlemeuts as Bedeque, Crapaud, New Glasgow, West River, (Lect 47,) Murray Harbor and Belfast, might well lay claim to Saving’s Bank accommodation.

The Situation in Germany.

The excitement caused in Berlin by the message of the Emperor to the Reichstag was great. All kinds uf sen- eational rumors were afloat, including even a report that the Emperor had abdi- cated. The North German Gazette, of Berlin, expressly terms the message to the Reichstag the Emperor's programme. The liberal press unanimously express reeret that the august person of the sovereign has thus been put forward in opposition to a majority of the nation in favor of socialist and political projects for which Prince Bismarck ovght him- self to assume sole responsibility. The Berlin correspondent of the Standard says :—‘* The behaviour of the Deputies at the opening of the Reichstag was veither more nor less than a demon- stration. They listened with icy coldness to the speech, not a sen- ience of which was applauded.” The Grenzboten publishes an apparently semi- official article confirming the prediction made some days ago that the govern- ment will do nothing to provoke a party conflict in the Reichstag, and that the session will be short and unimportant. The Grenzboten says the Reichstag will soon be adjourned to permit the Landtag to ‘diseuss bills aiming at a_politico- ecclesiastical compromise. Cardinal yon Hobealobe had an audience with the Emperor lasting one hour. The Em- peror William drove out twice. A des- patch to the Standard from Berlin says : ** Prince Bismarck will now begin nego- tiations with the liberal and ultramon- tane leaders.”

To the east side is a large lime-kiln, the scene where the experiments were made. On arrival here the party were received by | Policemau Bradley, the efficer in charge of | the explosive. He was pale and gaunt; his face wore an unusually careworn expres- | sion ; but, under the circumstances, he re- | ceived the party—particularly His Honor ~quite pleasantly.

Montreal.

Directly under the cover were instruc tions for using Dynamite and Dualin, with | the following cautions :—

Ist.—All these powders freeze at about 40 | degrees Vahrenheit, when it is sometimes impoasible to explode them by fire, while they | are manch more sensitive to rough handling. in cold weather, therefore, always thaw them until coft; this must net be done by direct | heat, which is highly dangerous, but by keep- ing them in a warm room some hours before | use, carrying them in the pocket of the blaster | or, much the best, by patting them into a tin| can, and this into a pail of warm water no| hotter than the hand can bear at the wrist. | There is a ‘* Thawing-Dex”’ especially adapted |

| te this purpose. | 2nd.—If by any possibility there is a ‘‘mize-

fire,” do not attempt te unlead the hole, but | explode it by firing another cartridge in the | hole, some distance above the old charge; if | this cannot be readily done, abandon the hole.

3rd.—The Detonator, unlike the powder, will not explode when wet. If used under the water, this must be covered (after putting it in the fuse, but before inserting it in tke cartridge) with soap, tar, pitch, wax, or some other substance that will keep it dry.

After reading the instructions and cau- tions, several cartridges were taken from the box by the agent and thrown with great

force against the stone wall ef the kiln, They stood the test; they did not explode. Twe cartridges were | then placed on a_ plank and | struck vigorously until completely de- stroyed. They did not, however, explode,

aud these experiments showed clearly that the cartridges could net possibly be ex- | ploded by concussion. His Worship, evi- | dently not satisfied with the test, lifted a few cartridges from the box, took an aecur- ate aim at the kiln, from which he stoed a distance of twenty yards, and fired with all his might. Mark the result.—.—The cartridge lit in the snow which covered the kiln roof. It did not explode——Scora an outer for His Wership. He next fired a cartridge which struck the stone wall of the kiln. Its contents scattered on the snow, and a number of hens, attracted by its food-like appearance, gathered, and devoured it ** merciless avidity.” All seemed satisfied with His Worship’s test. ‘*‘ By the way,” said the agent, as he looked on the hens devouring the composition ‘‘these poor creatures will shortly have severe pains in their heads.” He adopted this theory from the fact that by holding a small quantity

ef the explosive in one’s hand, it would effect one’s nerves, {and result in a violent pain in the head.

After these experiments, Mr. Biglew pro- ceeded te explode a few cartridges. Before doing so he explained that the powders though perfectly safe, when properly used, required, like all other compounds of nitro- glycerine, to be treated with care and judgment. If set fire to, they burn with- out explosion unless the whole is heated. To get explosive effect, therefore, they must be fired with a cap, or ‘‘ detonator,” or by electricity. He then showed how to set off the cartridge by the ordinary fuse. He cut the end square across,inserted it in the deto nator, pinched the detonator’s edge on to the fuse, 0 that it would not fall off, and gathering the paper of the cartridge around the fuse tied it so as it would not separate Then, placing it under a small bank, in rear of the kiln, he set fire to the fuse with a red hot poker. In a moment the explosion

f thrown upwards, At this point, despite | the vigilence of mothers, who momentarily | expected an explosion which would level the city and therefore did all in their power | to keep their respective children indoors, | the fence was swarmed with children.

‘Billy, come in; you'll be blewed up !”

‘* Johnny, come in here; yeu'll be ex. ploded ." end— :

‘Danny, walk in here this moment ; do

you want to be scattered to the winds of heaven ?” These exclamations were severally heard from the rear doors of various tenements. No damage was dene, however, and another exporiment was made. A drill was inserted in a bank alongside the kiln. The cart- ridges were plaeed in it, a fuse was lit, and in a minute the top of the bank was thrown up several feet into the air. It had the effect of levelling the bank, and satisfying the spectators that the only effectual way of exploding the powder was by detonation, A cartridge of powder was next burned in open air withoutany injurious consequence. Mr. Biglow, however, volunteered to go into further experiments, but as the gentle- men present were satisfied,and the weather was cisagresable, they concluded that they had seen enough of the dynamite.

After the Mayor, and the Magistrate, and Mr. Biglew had visited houses in the

inmates, the party returned to the city well satistied with the experiments,

The powder will be shipped to Halifax per M. A. Starr. We might hero state that the goods were correctly marked and leaving Montree!, and their character was made known to all prrties connected with shipping of same by Mr. Biglow and other officials of the Company.

Manitoba.

Mr. A, L. Graves writes to the Sum- merside Journal concerning Manitoba :—

There is no country that I know of where so many chances are offering for a man to do well. But people who come here have got to work. Of course no per- son with any common sense will come here with the expectation of finding everything comme il faut. There are drawbacks as in all new countries, but with a little money and a good deal of pluck and perseverance a man will ** win every time.” Farming pays weil, and $20 will get a settler a homestead and pre-emption, 320 acres of land, This land will double in value in less than a year. A

There are men, however, who come here and in a little while get dissatistied with the country and leave it in disgust, but these fellows are no good to any country, for they are either toe lazy to work or have not the pluck to weather one or two years roughing it.

I have been asked by some if I would ad- vise them to come out to the North-West. My reply to this question is that I would advise no man to leave home and give upa certainty for what perhaps might turn out to be an uncertainty. But to those con- templating leaving the Island I would say come and see Manitoba. Lam thoroughly convinced that men do better in this Pro- vince than in any other part of Canada.
