Tue Dicke EXAMINER. JULY 23, 1881.

Wurst the Patriot and its allies are engaged in manufacturing gross misre- presentations in regard to the public bridges and thvroughfares throughout this province, the Goverument is quietly aud efficiently repairiug and rebuilding those bridges, roads and culverts that require their attention. It is much easier to snarl at public officials than it is to supply ways aud means to main- tain our local public works, particularly when the treasury was left empty by reckless spendthrifts. Had the late Government rebuilt and repaired a tithe of the bridges that called for some expenditure, our contemporary would now have less reason (if it really has any reason) to fiod fault; aud the men who now administer our public affairs would have a fair chance to teach their opponents how to show a surplus. However, under the inost adverse cir- cumstances, by economy aud retrench- ment, we believe they have opened the eyes of their opponents. | We are credibly informed that a vast improvement is visible upon the larger bridges and the publie roads throughout the Island during the past two years. Wherever new bridges have been built, they have not only been well and durably constructed, but the expenditure thereon has been infinitely less than such struc- me commonly incurred on past occa-

Did space and time permit, we could enumerate many such instances. But for the present, ope case in point will suffice. The bridge near George- town, known as * Hession’ s Bridge,” for reasous known only to themselves, did not come under the notice of the late Government, although sadly in need of repair. Probably the same feelings that ‘prompted the Opposition when opposing the Cardigan Ferry Bill, actuated the Patriot's friends in this matter during their tenure of office. But we have}: better management under our -present rulers. Though well aware that the |burden should have been borne by the jlate Adminvistration, they called for ten- ders, and now there is a splendid new ‘bridge on the site of the old one. It bas been completed to the entire satisfac- ‘tion of all. In fact the contractor's ‘figures were so low, and the work has

ernment and the contractor have received well-merited commendations from men

on both sides of politics. This is only one instance. But it goes to show the groundlessness of the Patriot's censures.

From all we can learn from various the present Government, in- steadily

the country—the Patriot's opivion to the contrary notwithstanding. In this re- gard it is an omen ot happy augury to see the electors memorializing the Gov- erument to supplemeut the amount for ,Which parties have teudered to perform ‘certain contracts. Let the Patriot con- trast these symptoms of approval with the widespread and deep-seated indigna- tion that burst upon its friends when ‘their bungling and recklessness was discovered.

How to Write fer the Papers.

The Post hits the nail on the when it ‘says: Communications should be brief, ,and there are several reasons for this. In ‘the first place newspaper space is valu-; able. The modern newspaper is never troubled with the old time complaint of needing ‘*something to till up.” The editor’s scalpal is constantly reeking from the slaughter of live news matter and interesting miscellany. Short com- munications are much more likely to find readers than long ones are, aud unless they are to be read it is much better not to publish them. More contri- butions can be represented where the articles are short than where they are long, and one man has as strong a claim upon the columns as another, provided he furnishes us interesting matter. A short article is usually more pithy and pointed than along one. A subject should have mauy ramification to demand more than half a column in a newspaper, while all

Hartford Fire Insurance Company. [From the Spec‘aior, June, 1881.]

The anuual meeting of the stockholders of the Hartford Fire Lasurance Company was held June 2, when the old Board of Directors was re- elected, as were alse the old officers who haveso successfully managed its affairs. The Hartford .is ene of (the oid sterling companies 6f which the city; whose name it bears, has ‘such good reason to be prou’, On the 1st of January it possessed a capital of $1,250,000, had assets ameurit- ing to $3,761, 379, ‘and “a sirpins over ali liabilities of ‘$1, 177,937. Its netpremium receipts during last year were $1,595,142, and it paid for losses $828,975. At the annual meeting last week, the financial ‘ex- hibit presented showed the net earnings to have been over $500,000 ; $250,000 were paid in dividends, and nearly $400,000 were added to the surpius. The stockholders expressed their satisfaction with the man- agement of the company, as they had good resson to do. George L. Ohase, the presi- dent, is an underwriter of large experience, and brings to the practice of his profession rare intelligence and executive abilities of a high order. C. B. Whiting, Secretary, has proved himself a worthy ally to Mr. Ghase, as is indicated by the ratio of expenses to premium receipts. In 1879 this ratio was 32.6, while in the past -year the ratio was reduced to $0.7. The Hartford furnishes an exeellent illustration of the necessity, of insurance to the welfare of the couriry, this company having paid out over $25,000, 000 since its organization as indemnity for losses by fire. But for the indemnity thos paid, the fires that caused the losses would have served to bankrupt large number of business men. The Hartford, under Mr. Chases management, has maintained a re- putation for conservative underwritwg, and in refusing to follow the reckless praciices that are now too commen in the business, Mr. Chase has succeeded in making a profit for his stockholders, # the same time strengthening the co y in a most sub- stantial manner. It is regretted that other prominent companies are not equally conservative in their pgactices ; or, rather that the prominent companies do not come together and work in hafmony to crush ont illegitimate practices now prevail. Mr Chase has, at all titties, thrown the in- fluence of his company @m faver of correct underwriting, and when he failed to secure tae co-operation of other companies, bas car- ried out his ideas in the management of his wn company. By this means his loss and expense accounts have been kept within bounds, and the result is aeeu in the handsome dividends paid, and the large sum added to the surplus account. The Hart- ford is one of those old, substantial com- panies that the public can confidently pin

its faith to.

The Hartford is represented here by F. T. Newbery.

Voice Training in Italy.

Italian singing is proverbial, but the reasons given fer a superior quality of voice in Italy may provoke a smile. Babies in that country are treated dog- matically, the swaddling clothes that dis- figure ‘he German iufant are as nothing in comparison to the bandages in which the limbs of the luckless Italian baby are swathed. The mother puts the bandage round the body just fader the arms, avd winds it round avd ‘round, binding the limbs fast together, dud drawing in the feet; the child is then bound round much as a parcel might be tied up with a thin strip of cloth. Bandaged in this way until they are a year old, the infants of sunny Itely, conceutrate all their strength in one direction, that of the lungs, and among the poor where the ia- faut is simply placed out of harm's way by being hung for hours at a time upon the wall, its continnal crying strengthens aud develops the voice, at least such is the assertion of Italian authorities. As the boy said when he learned the alpha- bet, it seems like going through a good deal for the sake of very little. (It is well known that mothers among. our North American Indiang pursue the same course with their papooges, but we have never heard that frontier settlers found the Indian voice specially melodious,
