LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

>————_-~—

Letter From Mr. H. F. Coombs. Sir,—I can endorse your remarks in your issug of the 30th ult., in re P. £ Island as a watering place and summer resort. You strike the nail on the head, too, when you refer to the little known of the Island’s natural advantages abroad. But you have a task in hand when you attempt to get the hotel men and the owners of rural retreats to embark in out- side advertising. I got up last winter a seiies of advertising views of Halifax, lruro, Moncton and Charlottetown for the Jamaica exhibition—which, by the way have been commended by the visitors and judges—and a diploma awarded ‘for the iustruction and information afforded,” but { should have been compelled tu leave Charlottetown out but for the liberal assist- ance of the Local Government, the Cor- peration, the Superintendent of the Rail- way and the Charlottetown Steam Navigation Company. I got some patronage from a tew enterprising Charlottetown merchants, | but could not get a single ‘‘ad.” from vutside of Charlottetown. So you see I have good reason to doubt your ability to get rural P. E. Island to advertise. Why, bless you, a person from the country in Prince Edward Island wrote me to St. John that they had an asthma cure, and would I push it for them.’ To this I replied to send some samples and intimate how much they could afford to put intc advertising and I would put the samples where they would do the most good. The party seat one small bottle and a long letter! That is about the rural idea ot advertising. Still if the Island is ever to become known as a watering place your suggestion as to advertising will have to be acted on.

The 8S. S. Northumberiand is one of the finest passenger steamers in eastern waters. I have looked in vain for any advertise- ment of that fact in the papers of the Maritime Province. As to hote's,

with an exception or two, they are first-class only in respect to charges, and drummers say the surliest

hotel clerk east lives in Charlottetown. But you could add to your accommodation by a general advertisement of the smaller hotels and boarding houses. Some of these are cheap, cosy and comfortable. But strangers know nothing of them. ‘There is a number of private houses both in Char- lottetown and along the sea side that could as well as not take in a number of summer bearders. But how is a stranger to learn

of them. Big hotels cost a lot to build and more to run, and while you want to attract the summer tourist and use him so that he may come back again, you had better go slow in the erection of a big hotel. While I am on the hotel question I may sey, that with the exception of the ‘‘Osborne,’ the proprietor of which has put out a few ads, some of which I have seen, I did not see a single ad. or hotel card of an Island hotel between Sydney, taking in Moncton and Halifax. I got permission to put up a picture of Halitax with advertisements framed in around it on the steamer Halifax, the favorite route for tourists between Boston and Hali- fax. I submitted it to the proprietor of your largest hotel, butas the Indians said, ‘*Him no advertise.”

Your reference to the ill-kept streets is strictly correct, you might have added the neglected town. While you have some exceedingly clean pretty spots and a tidy people, still, taken as a whole, Charlottetown is dirty and weather beaten. No community with any regard to public health, would allow fish drainage, the droppings from cattle, and other garbage to fester and polute its principal square, The sanitary condition of many of our maritime towns is disgraceful, and Charlottetown is no exception. Parts of even St. John and Halifax are abominably dirty. The St. John city jail is said to take the cake for filthiness. Victoria Park, Charlottetown, is a charming spot. Which comes first—the milienium or a driveway round the front of it?

Letter From the Orient.

Sir,—-I write from my new siation, Penang. At the late conference in Singa- pore, Bro. Hedley Baldersun and I were appointed to open a new mission in this oldest English city of the Malay peninsula. Ite population is about 120,000, composed chiefly of Chinese, Malays and East Indians, or Clings. The European popula- tion 18 very small. The principal exports of the Island consist of sugar, opium, coffee, pepper and nutmegs, aggregating a value of about eight millions of pounds sterling. A large Euglish firm, established here in 1790, failed last week for four mi!- lion pounds sterling. Life at Penang is about the same as at Singapore, only that the population is much more dense ; the heat is greater by a few degrees, and the atmosphere more dry. To the north of the city is a fine range of hills, clothed with graceful trees, vines, shrubs and a great variety of the most beautiful ferns ; the highest elevation is about three thousand feet above the sea. These hills, which are three miles from the city, are approached by a narrow gauge railway and form a grand sanitarium, the temperature being lower by ten degrees.

The iron horse passes along the suburbs of the town, runs through the narrow streets, winds its way amongst groves of palm, skirts the impenetrable jungles, darts down the slepes like a mad thing, climbs sluwly the ascending grades, and eventually landsits passengers under the shadowy hills of everlasting green.

We have opened an Anglo-Chinese Schoo! in the heart of the Chinese quarters of the city, more than a mile “from the dwellings of white men; all around a great babel of heathen life and business. 3ut we are regarded with respect and are per- fectly safe, Indeed, for the most part our visits are cordially received. How you would wonder to stand on our baleony and watch the streets and listen to their sounds. Coaches are running all day and all night,

Ch’town, Sept. 4, 1890—2aw

naked ehildren race about or stand around

door entrances. The street cries of the Chinese are horrible and never cease, We visit the stores and dwellings and send out our circulars, and are already known all over the city. The prospect ef success is encouraging. The Resident has promised

us his support with Government aid in che shape of land and grant. We have opened as a Mission School

with Bible reading aad prayer each murn- ing, and christian teaching brought in as much as possible. We are bending all our energies to the solid establishment of our schol, as its success will largely influence our regular mission work amongst the people. I shall commence holding Euro- pean services in the Town Hall next Lord’s day, and hope soon to have around me an active mission band. Our entrance here is violently opposed by a chaplain and one of the leading newspapers, but theiropposition will be futile, and will really do us more good than harm. How sad ini strange though, that such a spirit should be mani- fested in these lands of sinfulness, and by eye witnesses of the helpless and immeasuc- able gloom and despair which _ per- vade these densely populated centres of the ‘“‘ region and shadow of death.” But the burden of a tremendous _res- ponsibility is upon us, and love for Christ, _ pity ior humanity, and loyalty to duty, compel us to advance. Hungry souls are all around us; and empty hands of thousands famishing for the Bread of Life, must not be stretched out in vain, while in our Father’s house there is ‘ bread enough and to spare.”

Hedley and I were made a public exhibition of to-day, by being pitched out of rickshaw. We were a rather heavy load for the coolie drawing us, who losing his balance turnel a complete somersauit backwards, emptying us upon the street. The only disagreeable result ot the wishap was a scramble in the mud and a little confusion, as a Malay urchin cried out “Tuan! bebih baik pakei tain baju.” “Sir, better put on another coat.” My address will now be, ‘Wesleyan ou sega Penang, Straits Settlements, East ndies,

D. Davies Moore,

Sir John in Anecdote.

[Grip, Aug. 8. ]

Mr. E. B. Biggar’s idea of au Anecdotal Life of Sir John A. Macdonald wasa ‘thappy thought,” and in the substantial volume of 332 pages, issued from the press of John Lovell & Son, he has admirably carried it out. Sir John held a high place through- out his long public career as a wit and reconteur ; indeed, it was to his capacity for causing as well as enjoying « good laugh, quite as much as to has gifts of statesman- ship, that he owed his wonderful success as a political leader. The author has taken great pains to bring together all the jokes and examples of ‘“‘airy persiflage” that could be found on record as Sir John’s, from the days of his early boyhood in Adol- phustown down to the day of his last appearance in Parliament, and the result is a collection which makes very pleasant reading. Patrons of Grip may be interested in the following, which we find on page 147 :—

‘** When the proposal was made in the House to have a large oil painting of the ‘ Fathers of Confederation,’ the name of Mr. Harris was suggested as a good Canadian artist. In the course of the discussion Sir John said: ‘ As regards this particular painting, I have no personal objections to have still another artist try his hand upon myself. There is one Cana- dian artist who draws me with power and graphic skill, and I think, on the principle of wholesome competition, 1 may hope that Mr. Harris, whose paintings I have not seen, may by slow degrees rise to the artistic skill and perfect accuracy ia pourtraying my counten- ance that my friend Bengough possesses.’ ” This illustrates the spirit in which Sir John accepted Grip’s not-always-flattering cartoons. He always enjoyed a joke against himself if it was a good ove. For example (page 154), Sir Richard Cartwright, refer- riug to Collins’ Biography of the Premier, said: ** It is a happy association of ideas, and what a lamented friend of mine called ‘the eternal firness of things,’ that a gentle- man who in his life has done justice to so many John Collinses, should at last find a John Collins to do justice to him.” Sir John, adds the compiler, laughed at this as heartily as anyone in the House.

Prices and Speculation.

Mr. Henry Clewes says that all the symptoms indicate that it is hopeless to expect any extravagant buying spirit until there are stronger indications of a removal of the prevailing distrust than at present exist. The booming tendency of good crops is now little heard of, for the reason that there are so many serious vb»tacles to that factor having the effect upon prices that would attend it under normal con- ditions. How much of our grain can Europe take? What prices will Europe pay for our wheat! In what form will it pay for it,—in gold, in goods, in returned securities, or even through borrowing in the United States’ If the payment is not made to a liberal extent in gold, what will be the resources of our banks for meeting the Western Fall drain of currency! And if securities should be returned to even but a moderate extent, what would be the ability of our market to receive them? And, again, how far will the present un- settled condition of European finances tend to embarrass the financial and commercial markets under the extraordinary importa- tions of American grain that will have to be made? ‘Tnese are the kind of questions that are now occupying the attention of the speculative interests of the States.
