MEN TO BE PROUD OP.
Twe pride that we all feel inthe men ot Ganada engaged in the South African war must be greatly intensified by the perusal of their letters. Written upem the field ef battle, these letters are as mat- ter ef fact as if written in the quiet of offices or homes. After long and heavy forced marches, with little food to sustain them, there is hardly a word of complaint. In the midst of dangers, a‘teroue bleody battle and befere another, there is no traee ef fear. On the contrary, there is a tone of satisfaction and maniy confidence rapning threugh al) iheir descriptions. The mea who could under such circum~ stances write such letters to parents and friends are worthy of the great race whence they sprung. Possessing such men we can rely upon the success of the nation in every just cause. The great- est coneern seems to have been for the care ef the weunded and the burial of the dead. It will be # great eomfort to the parents and relatives of those who have fallen to know that their loved ones did net suffer Jong and that they were carried to the rear and laid to rest by friendly hands.

A WIDER VIEW.

| Tax Guardian admits that—
“We have enjoyed in a eignal measure [ during these yeare the blessing of Heaven. Let us not ferget it. Much of our pro- grese has been due tothe rich resources of our splendid beritege, and much to the splendid energy, enterprice and industry of our peeple.”
In justice, the Guardian ought to have gone a little further and have stated that the progress of the country, in the past few years, ceuld not have possibly been what it was—amiling as Providence has been and industrous and energetic as the people have beea—if it were not for the building of the Cavadign Pacific Railway, the establishment of Experimental Farms, with cheese and butter factories, aad other factories—features of the National policy established by the Conservatives ‘ We have bcem resping the fruits of the labors of Sir John Macdonald, Sir Charles Tupper sad those wide-awake, far-sighted men who supported them against the per- sistent and strenuous opposition of the
| Liberals.

A letter from Master A. J. Duke, of Sempting Schoo), Sussex, England, ad- dressed to the care of the head-master of the boy’s school of Charlottetown, was re» cently put into the hacds of seyeral of the boys of Queen Square School by Principa! Landrigan. The writer desires informa- tion regarding this part of Canada, and asks our boys to answer a number of eurious questions, We have had a quiet peep at several of the letters in reply, and can bear testimony tothe truth of the lively and well written descriptions given their English correspondent by our boys. Such compositions must preve to be of more educations! value than the informa- tion they eontain. The exercise of com~ position and the habit of observation and thought concerning the things about them, as well as the things of which they receive information frem their eorrespondent> that will be fo med, must be goed mental training for our future men of business and affairs. We have no deubt that the Edglish boys whe read the ietters written by our boys will have lively ideas abou‘ Prince Edward Island aad its capital, and that they will conceive an interest in Caneda which may grow with their growth and strengthen with their strength: Principal Landrigan has acted wisely and well in encouragiog the boys under his charge to carry on the epistolary corres. pondence which has been so auspiciously be gun,
A SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE.
Mr. T, B. Wixstow, Secretary of the Board of Works of the Province of New Brunswick, has lately testified, under oath, that neither the auditor genera! nor the public accounts committee of the legislature had been permitted by Mr. BRmmerson to examine the bills and vouchers of the payments on permanent bridge account,--about which serious ebarges were made previous to the last geueral election and which were declared to have been satisfactorily disposed of. The Sun reports that at aa earlier stage ia his evidence, Mr. Winslow, who is a public officer above the shadow of reproach, and who cannot be accused of being a witvess hostile to the administration of the day, testified that ore Alfred Haines had re- received thousands Oo! collars frota the departmeat oa his verbal request alone, aua that he had made no return or certificateto the board of works that the work for which be used the money had been performed. The Prichett scandal in Outario, the Br.dge ecandal in New Brunswick, ani the Pineau scandal in P E. Island, ae note worth examples of Liberal methuds ia these latter days.

Letters From Our
F WAR.
Island Boys--One
of Whom Has Crossed the Bar.
Writing from Paards Drift on February 23rd, Mr. A.R. Dillon eays :
We have, st last, had what so many of us have been wishing for for a long time pasi, and a pretty serious affair it proved to be.
We left Richmond on Suncay, a week before the battle, at midnight, and march- ed sixteen miles before morning, We then halted in the hot sun, and had a luoch and boarded the train for Graspan. We got there at midnight, detrained, and lay down in the grass, without waiting for anything toeat, and slept till three o’clock in the morning. We then, after one and a half biscuits anda half pint of coffee
each man, started on another march of about thirteen miles. Many of the boys were by this time begioning to get hungry and terribly footsore, but they kept nooly ou. In the heat of the day we were allow- ed to get afew hours sleep, as it was io- tended that we should finish the march io
the cool of the evening and night; | had we tried to march in the middle of the day the heat and thiret would have killed us, Agsit
was. lle next march saw the finish of many of the fellows, for we had not gone over three miles when the men began to fall out by the roadside to be picked up by the transports, and sent back tothe rear. This is not to be woudered at when you consider that we had been dragging along for a whole week, with liitle to eat and little sleep, and our feet eo sore that you would never believe me if I were to te!] you the cordition they were ian. You can perbaps imagine what they were like after a whole week’s marching, and vur boots never off; tender from the heat and sand and wet, and painful blisters. [ tell you inoney could not make me march that Then, when we lay down Lo reet we had to do eo where there was no shade or shelter of any descripiion, and lying down on the hot sand with a burniog sun overhead is not a pleasant thing. But for al] these discomforts not one of our Prince Edward Island boys fell out of the ranks. We did considerable “grous~ ing,” It is true, for food and water; but that was forgotten as we neared the end of our tramp and knew that we might meet with the Boers atany minute.
We were, by this time, seventy miles from our bare, and the enemy in our rear.
in one camp, where se left sixmen, the Boers took tluem pil overs, So you see we were Clomely fil owed,
On the Suuus; va which the fight _e-
gan we arrived ot the Modder River and we were told the importaat news that Cror je was across the river and bad taken up» pociiion ard that we would bave to fight forcur country and our lives ; and we set up a rousing British cheer—tor up to that ume al! we wanted was a fight. We are not so keen for another; forthe fighting is nct so delightful as it is cracked up to Le.
However, down we went tothe river bank, and in we went up to the neck, and Fo across, there being no other way of get- ting over. Well, we were wet. The firet thing after crossing to attend to was the cleauing of our rifles ; for by this time we were beginning tolook upon them as our very best friends. We each had two daye, rations in our havereacks which were thoroughly ecaked and spoiled, but before the day ended we were glad toeat any- thing.
We formed up wet and hungry, and ad-
ceed onthe enemy. We had covered
bit inthe boot but was sot hurt, and I had a bullet through my eleeve which evly marked my arm, and there were others who had near tovches. The firing ,was'‘terribly heavy. We were getting | hearer and nearer, and dark was ¢omipg on.
We got the order to charge when we were within afew hnndred yards of the trenches, and we fixed bayonets. Thera | what a wild rush we made —Highlanders,
Corawalls and Canadians all mixed te- gether. A fatal charge it was for many, and we did not go far. The fire from the | enemy was too much to advance against, | and we were ordered to retire. This we did ' without any very great regret, I assure you,,for we knew we had Croojs surround- | ed and that he was done for. | It had been a terrible day, and in the 'dark we had to find our companies. It | wasa difficult job—we hadto pick our | way through the dead aad wounded of all | corps that were lying out on the battle- ficld, and that experience, with all its horror. I shall never forget. After some time we got together and etarted to the rear to find some place to spend the night. But work wae net ever.

avout four hundred yards when their fire reached us, Then we saw a Highlander tall, and we suddenly realized that we had come in for the eerious part of war. We | were erdered to lie down for.a few minutes, and then came the order to advance. We were by this time within one thousand yards of the Boer trenches, without cover. In a litle while one of our own boys, Fred Waye, was hit and was carried to the rear. For about an hour our attention was principally occupied by watchiag the dead and wounded being carried back; in many cases those who carried them were them- selves shot.
After, as it seemed to us, we had poured tons of lead, and the artillery had tarown tons of shells, into the, Boer trenches, the evemy’s fire slackened for a few hours und we were in hopes that they bad been beat- én. But it was osly one of their tricss, for when we staried to advance once more we were greeted with a deadly volley, which cause many a brave man to fail. The men of our company seemed to bear charmed lives; for up to this time not a man bad been killed,
Now at last, however, the Boers seemed to be retiring, and we began !o pour in as The enemy got into the river bed and into a good position in epite of us, where our fire did them little harm, #0 we lay low waiting for reinforee- menis.
kc was abeut 4 o’clock in the afternoon, and now eame the worst fire ot the day, in whieh one of cur brave boys Jost his life. Roland Taylor, who was just in the act ef taking something to eat, was sbot through the heart aud died almosi at once. It saddened ue, [ can tell you, for we nad begun to hope that we would come oui ef the action witbeut losing any of our fel- lowe. But that would bave b-en a mir
