tieth birthday.

Speaking of the decline (t England mackerel fisheries, the Portland, Me.. Press says: ‘ Mr. T. J. Lyons, who is employed as a special agent of the State Bureau of labor and industrial _ statistics, has completed an investigation ot the con- dition of the mackerel fisheries ol North Haven which confirms the worst reports. He finds that this industry in which only

1 few years ago 20 or more vessels and

three or four hundred men from this one |

town were engaged, is now paralyzed. As . result, the population has dropped from 755 in 1880 to less than 500, and to-day crews can with difficulty be found for the two schooners that, without much hope of success, will again try for mackerel this vear. Part of the fleet ouce engaged in the business have been sold at a sacrifice. Other vessels still le at their moorings, waiting anxiously for the news that the mackerel have come.

The Patriot's article of last evening is very good as a piece of special pleading. But it does not meet the point raised by fur Examrver. Citizens care little whether the dust nuisance be suppressed by means of water direct from anumber of the hydrants throughout the town, or ‘from watering carts ‘filled at a few particular hydrants set apart for that purpose. To have the dust kept down—that is what they want. Bat to have abundance of water in the pipes, and high taxes to pay, and the dust still tiving into their eyes, and stores, and houses—that is what citizens object to, and what they will not tolerate. It may be admitted that the citizens were apathetic last fall, about the use of water in their houses. but, how did the Commissioners strive to overcome theirapathy? By warn- ing them that fines and penalties would be

imposed if certain hard and fast rules adopted by them were not strictly ad- hered to! Would a iive water company

have adopted such a policy ' No. They would have seil: ‘“‘Here are one thousand and odd dollars invested; the money will lie idle until we can persuade a large number of the citxzens tu take water; we will, there- fore, fix a low water rate—say five dollars in advance; send a man to canvas house- holders; put on a crowd of men; and have the water into hundreds of houses before winter comes on.” And this is the policy which, as we maintain, should have been adopted by the Commissioners.

Two French Vessels Lost WITH ONE HUNDRED -~BIG FIRE AT ST. SHIPS ON TEE NEWFOUNDLAND GROUNDS,

AND SEVENTY-SIX MEN PIERRE—FRENCH WAR FISHING

A St. Pierre, Mig., correspondent of the Halifax Herald, writing on the 17th May, says:—We have three large steamers in the harbor, a sight you will not often see in iy town in Nova Scotia outside of Hali- fax. The steamers are the Bison, Lacloc- heterie and Minia. The Bison and Laclocheterie are French warships which arrived recently from France. The Laclocheterie will soon sail for Fortune Bay, where she will remain all summer for the protection of the French fishery. The Bison wi'l soon return to France. The Minia, the property of the Anglo cable company, tas just returned from England, ind after repairing the cable at this point will proceed to Halifax. Nearly all the vesse!s have returned from the banks with their first catch. The fish market in France has been very dull during the past month, but owing to the small fares of the recent it is expected the market will soon healthier condition. The two French vessels, Ella aud Quatrefrere, which left France some time ago, have been lost. The Ella had 65 men on board and the (Juatre frere 110 men, all of whom have, no doubt, been drowned. The former was owned by A. Lacroix and the latter by Gjirardin. Both were insured in French oflices. A serious fire occurred at Ile aux Chiens last week. The large fishing estab- lishment of A. Lemoine, containing all the fishing supplies for-the season, was burned

to the ground. Loss 80,000 francs. No insurance. The building also contained the effects of a large number of fishermen, who

had put them there for safe keeping while they were away fishing. oo sere) ———-

Insurance Comments.

The Montreal City Council have granted by a vote of 15 to 12 a bonus to the ex- chief of the tire brigade of that city.

The fire at St. Savuer, one of the suburbs of Quebee was attended with a loss of property to the extent of $400,000. Among the Fire Insurance Companies that have sustaine@l heavy losses are the Commercial Union, Agricultural, Glasgow and London, and Guardian. It is said that about 1000 families are rendered homeless.

The &4Boaré of Fire Underwriters here have adjusted heir tariff owing to the in- troduction of Waterworks into the City. All policies dated on and after the First of May will be subject to the new rates. The reductions madwill lessen somewhat the burden of the water tax on the citizens generally.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR,

The Registry Office. Sre,—1 would not answer the communi- cation over the initials ‘FF. W., L. M.” in last evening’s /atriot, were they not

those of & young man connected with one |

of the leading law firms of this city. 1 in- tend, therefore, shortly to answer his letter | because of his connection with the law. tirm 'yeferred to, and for that reason alone.

The writer of that letter does not con- jtradict one statement contained in my | former letter, but he attempts to condone what he calls the ** abuses” in the Registry j office, on the ground that the office is

) small.

too { admit that the oflice is too small for parties to make searches in; but I have yet to learn that it is too small to allow two men to sit down and compare the work ; or that it is too small for a desk, sufficiently large to hold a book about two feet square, to enable the registrar to sign his name to the record. I have also to learn that the factof the outside office being too small, is any excuse for placing the books topsy-turvey in the vault, or for hav- ing plans and deeds scattered about pro- miscously.

Searchers in that office have strong reasons to complain of the want of accom- modation. The public, however, have stronger grounds for complaint, as to the condition of the office. The Government may be opento blame for not providing the accommodation, and they may be censurable for permitting the gross neglect ot duty now taking place there ; but there can be no doubt but that the parties prim- arily liable are ‘‘the Registrar and his as- sistant,’’ the latter far more so than the former, because it is his duty to work ; while the Registrar is to blame for not seeing that he does his work.

A great deal of speculation exists in the Registry Office as to who is the author of the present letters. ‘* F. W. L. M.” seems to think | am an aspirant for the oflice. In answer to this let me state that I do not and never did want the position, and would not take it if offered tome. I however do business there. I search as well as register papers; and it was only when | saw that the condition of the office was going from bad to worse that | wrote. I have pointed out what, in my opinion, should be remedied, and it remains to be seen whether the friendly suggestions are acted upon. If, within a reasonable time, I find that the ‘*abuses”’ continue, | shall then, with your permission, submit to the public cer- tain facts and figures which will remedy the ‘** abuses” without further delay.

**F. W. L. M.” blames me for pointing out the open and notorious neglect of duty eXisting in this office, and praises up the Registrar and his assistant for having-—l use his own words—‘‘a bedlam of confu- sion’”’ there. His encouragement of this **bedlam of confusion ” is quite apparent. ‘‘F. W. L. M.” is an opponent of the pre- sent Government, and he has sense enough to know that the people will justly hold Mr. Sullivan and his colleagues account- able for this ‘‘ bedlam of confusion,” and hence the paton the back which he has given to Mr. DesBrisay and his assistant, Mr. Peterson.

At present | do not intend to write more. I have by me a complete statement of the affairs of the office, and if the ‘* bed- lam of confusion” continues you will hear from me again.

LIBERAL CONSERVATIVE.

The Holiday in the Stores.

Srk,—As holidays in Charlottetown are extremly scarce, especially among Grocery Clerks, it is to be hoped that the store- keepers to a man will see fit to show the proper respect to His Honor the Lieut.- Governor and His Worship the Mayor and also to the [clerks by observing Saturday next as a General Holiday.

In view of this it would be well for the citizens generally to make their purchases on Friday.

Yours, ete., Dick THE RUNNER.
