WO ACCOMMODATION FOR

THE PUBLIC.

We learn, with satisfaction, that Mr. MeKeehnie has applied to the Minister of Pablie Works for four Baldwin En- vines, and that it is probable the applica- tion will be granted, —_It is, we feel sure, hoped by every man and woman on the | Island that as soon as the additional |

fieulties, and we refrained from harassing him with demands tor those additional fa- cilities which the people ( who. paid for the railway) have a right to expect and the want of which they severely feel. But the railway staff has been orgavized—as well, we may remark, as could be expected. The Superintendent is now relieved of the care and ansziety of at once running the railway and training 2 number of in- experienced men to their duties. And,

we think he should now endeavor to give more accommodation to the public.

We see no reason why the people should | longer be debarred the privilege of travel- | ling in second class ears at second-class | rates. Both the cars and the tickets have been provided and are ready for use, When the train runs, it will cost no more to have a second class car attached. The furmers of this Island would, if second class sceommodation were afforded them, doubtedly, give more patronage to the railway than they do now. Relieved of the necessity of putsing on their “ Sunday and enabled to at prices they can better afford to

pay than to break up their team, they would travel to and from the market, the mill, the forge, or wherever their business might call them, by rail, instead of by wagon or cart, as at present. Every dol- lar thus obtained would be a dollar clear vain to the railway. Again, there are thousands of persons on the Island who cannot afford to travel by rail at first class A short time ago, a very old and poor man presented himself at the ticket office in Summerside and asked for a tic- ket for Charlottetown. He had but $1.20, and the official, as in duty bound, refused the tieket. Had it not been for the inter- ference of « benevolent stranger the old man would not have been able to accom- plish his journey; whereas, if second class tickets could have beea obtained, he would not have been obliged to submit to to the keenly-felt degradation of accepting charity. Nor is this an isolated case. There sre many persons throughout the Provinee who have hitherto been unable | io take advantage of the facilities afford- | ed by the railway simply because they | were unable to pay the high first class fare. This should not so be. Indepen- deatly of the fact that it costs no more to curry full cars than it does to carry empty cars; independently of the fact that all the people might just as well be accommodated as half of them—seeing that the trains must be run in any case— the poor people have as much right to the railway of this Province as the rich. All contributed towards its construction and all should enjoy the benefits to be derived from it. The seale of fares should therefore be so arranged that the whole people can be accommodated. Aud seeing that we have cars and tickets ready ; that we have an organized railway staff; that the cost will be little more ; that the season when travelling by wagon cart will be very disagreeable is ap- prosching,—seeing that the whole popula- tion of the Province is erying out for

rates

second-class cars and second-class fares, think the railway superintendent should give the matter his immediate and serious consideration

Then, there is the desirability of pro- viding special accommodation, at reduced rates, for people who systematically at— tend market. This matter should also he attended to. Twice in each week num- bers of people come to Charlottetown to dispose of their commodities. These people «till come in the old, slow-coach way. They cannot afford, out of their sail profits, to pay the high cost of rail- ccommodation at three cents per mile. Consequently the Railway loses absolutely all the money these people would pay if second class cars, specially for their accommodation, were attached to the morning and evening trains of Tuesday and Friday io each week and the teriff were lowered to prices they could afford. We think season tickets, at low second class rates, should be issued to market people. In other places, these people have special accommodation. Why not here ?

As to lowering the freight and passen— wer tariff, as a whole,—we do not believe it can be done till Mr. Laird ceases to represent us at Ottawa. We have been informed by a eredible person that, when Mr. Laird was here last summer, he told a2 ventleman who was up to that moment his warm supporter, that if any change

Pope, who, it may be assumed, knows the resources and requirements of | the people of this Island as well as Mr. | Laird Mr. ieKenzie, or Mr. MeKechnie holds » different opinion. He thinks the tariff should be lowered. He thinks the. railway would pay better if it were low- | erel. It is quite certain that a greater

number of the people would be accommo- dated.

RECONSTRUCTION,

Tue special correspondent of the Mon- treal Gazetfe at Ottawa, telegraphs -—* It

| is understood that at a lengthy Cabinet

Council, held a day or two since prospect- ive Cabinet changes were discussed, the re~ sult being that Mr. Mackenzie finds it necessary to confer with Mr. Devlin, ex-M. P. for Montreal Centre, and, if possible, to arrange the rival claims of the two unseated supporters, Devlin and ©’ Donoghue, as to their clamor fora portfolio. It is likely that if he succeeds in inducing them to accept other considerations, Anglin, the Speaker of the House, will be requested to enter the Cabinet as an angel of peace and a representative of the Catholic denominas tion. The Lieutenant-Governorship of the new North West province has also been considered, Letellier being a powerful rival of Laird’s in this matter. Altogether the reconstruction of the Cabjnet is giving Mac- kenzie much trouble. Sir. A. T. Galt is willing tobe the Finance Minister under Blake as Tremier, but not under Mac. | kenzie, as he is more in accord with the | former's idea that the Pacific railway should not be built. Leading supporters of the Ministry freely discuss the probability of the present Premier making way for Mr. Blake if the problem can't be solved by any other means.”

Later Ottawa telegrams report that Mr. Moss will be Mr. Laird’s successor in the Caw binet ; and the Halifax (Chronicle of Friday last remarks -

“Rumor points to the entrance of Mr. Thomas Moss, M.P. for Toronto West, into the Cabinet in event of the Minister of the Interior, Hon. David Laird, of P. E. Island. being appointed Lieutenant iovernor of the North West. Ontario yielded up one

| Of her seats in the Cabinet to make room

for Mr. Laird, aad should that gentleman retire it might be expected that an Ontario man should succeed him. Mr. Moss is an able lawyer, and a rising public man. His appointment to a Cabinet office would be very popular.”

It is declared by those in Charlottetown, who ought and profess to know, that Mr. Laird is unwilling to accept the proffered honor. From the above extracts it appears that he is anxious to obtain it; that he is likely to succeed ; and that his successor has been fixed upon. For ourselves, we have little doubt respecting Mr. Laird’s un-~ willingness. He is unwilling to be shelved —even ina gubernatorial office. But we believe that ever since the Grits, by Mr. Laird’s means, attained their end, they have been endeavoring to force him out of the Cabinet. First they tried insult, and studi. ed neglect of the interests of the people of this Island. That course was not success« ful. Now they hang out the golden hook; richly baited, and use the most ingenious arts known by politicians, to induce the “loose fish” of Sir John A. McDonald's administration, to take it. This plan may not be successful - but we are mistaken if it is not.

“THE ARMY OF TRAVELLERS.”

Messrs. John McDonald & Co., of To- ronto, in their Commercial Budget for Seps tember, allude in pretty strong language to the “Plague of Commercial Travellers.” They also make some sensible and timely suggestions to merchants and traders. We quote :—

“We first address ourselves to the whole- sale trade; and to them we say: With« draw from the road eighty per cent. of the present stafi of travellers. We have no expectation that this advice will be taken, however sound it may be considered. We are not the less persuaded that such a course, if adopted, would be followed not only by an amount of financial ease which would impart confidence in every business circle, but by healthful results which would be sensibly felt within six months in every home in the Dominion. To some Houses, travelling may be a necessity, end we would not seek to discourage the custom where it is followed with any degree of sound judgment: but we would assert that no thoughtful man (whether in the trade or not) who observes the vast army of travel- lers constantly wending its way to every village and country town of the Dominion, with enormous boxes of samples, will won- der, not that we have an occassional cri-is, but that we are ever without one. We next address the Retail dealer, and to him we say, that whether he is accustomed to make his purchases in Toronto, Hamilton, or Montreal, visit the market personally, select your parcel—and select it carefully. Err on the side of caution rather than that of recklessness. Easier far is it to re« order goods than to sustain loss by closing outan excess of stock at ruinous prices, Money is rarely lost by men who visit the market personally and prudently make their own selections. It is almost invariably with those who having bought all the goods they want and all their trade demands, are found but the too willing customers for every traveller who calls upon them with his samples. Let the Retail dealer be firm and steadily refuse to increase his stock beyond his legitimate wants, nots withstanding the tempting offers of travel- lers,such as low sterling advances, long terms, extra time, goods dated forward, promise of renewals, etc., etc., and the traveller will find that with all such prudent men he can accomplish nothing, and the evil which has done more perhaps than every other, will speedily correct itself. Is it not diss honest in a trader who obtains credit on the strength of his character, to multiply his accounts so as to endanger his solvency and jeopordize the amount he is indebted to the House to which he owes his start in life ? Thousands of traders in the Dominion have failed simply through unwise purchas. ing. Their business in the hands of a few creditors meant success, when unduly in- creased, embarrassment and ruin. If anys thing were needed to give force to these remarks it could be found :—First in the fact that the Wholesale Houses that have carried on their business without travellers have felt the crisis least either in diminish- ed receipts or bad debts, and second that the Retail Houses which have been most prudent in their purchases have wisely confined their business within safe limits, and have been deaf to the solicitations of travellers to pur~ chase beyond their actual wants, are the Houses which are strongest and in best credit to-day. With £20,000.000 of the banking capital of the Dominion locked up in lumber and in standing timber, and with the high, and in some cases excessive rates banks are charging for money, (de~

spite the statement of bankers generally the effect of the abolition of the usury laws would be to cheapen money) prudent men will feei whether buyers or sellers that the present time is a time, not for extension but for the utmost prudence. The policy we recommend to others is the one we practise." <-~-_e | Prats and Engraved Kings, any weight ard quality, made to order at KE. W.Tay- lor’s. 6in

INDEPENDENCE IN PARTIZANS.,

i

The Churchman, a New York periodical, | touches on the question of party govern. | ment and independence in politics. It does | not think that political regeneration is to | come mainly through unattached states men and unattached newspapers. declares that,—

‘*What we do need is independence with- in parties, the attitude toward a party by the members composing it very different from the old, blind acceptance of a policy conceived by one or two leaders,and marked with the party name. ‘So, too, indepen~ dence of the press is worth more when it is a fearless examination of party measures by party journals, than merely the criticism of a paper which professes to be outside of all parties.

Some of the political friends of the Ex- AMINER have found fault with the indepen- dence with which we occassionally criticized the measures of the party to which we belonged. lo them we commend the above extract.

Tue Provincial Rifle Association of Prince Edward Island was formed some weeks ago. It is under the patronage of His Honor Sir Robert Hodgson, Lieut. Colonel Rankin is its President, and Lieut. J. D. Irving its Secretary. The first annual prize meeting of the Association is to be held at the

and Saturday, the Istand 2nd October next. We notice that the prices will be well worth competing for. In the aggregate they amount to upwards of $500 ; and they range from §S8U to $5. The best prize is $80 and the Associations Silver Medal. The in ducements held out will probably revive an interest in markmanship. A list of prizes should, we think, be published in the news- papers.

Awnotner Successrut P. FE. Isuanper.—It is with feelings both of pride and pleasure that we announce to our readers that Mr. Jacob G, Scurman is the successful com- petitor for the Gilchrist scholarship. This scholarship is open to students under twenty-one years of age, from all parts of the Dominion. The man who wins it re. ceives one hundred pounds sterling for three years, and must attend for that time at either the London or the Edinburgh University. Mr. Schurman studied in the Prince of Wales College here, and his suc- cess is another proof of the thoroughness and the soundness of the instruction im- parted in that excellent institution. We heartily congratulate our young friend on his well earned success. — /’a/riof.

Tae Fisu Trapr.—A Boston correspon< dent writing on the 10th inst., says: Our mackerel fishery to date is a failure. Some vessels since June 8th, have not caught tcn varrels. If we have no Autumn school, it will be a year of loss to mackerelmen. Codfishing is more satisfactory. Our oils ing fleet has done only moderately well in

quantity. Oil last year was 40 cents—this year only 35, while the expenses are

enormously high. There is no profit in that branch of business. The Autumn herring trade promises a Jarge catch, Every fisherman who can raise $5 will swing anetover his back. Fortune Bay and Bay of Isles will throw an immense amount of herrings on to this market, and our pre- dictions are that the rate will rule low. ‘lrade and values are not satisfactory. It shows that we are yet out of balance. To run ahead in productions, slaughters cost, and failures ensue. In all due time, the common wants and the improvements favourable circumstances invoke will set the whole of industry in motion, anda period of general prosperity will follow. Money is abundant.

Caicaco, September 11.—A terrible dis. aster occurred on Lake Michigan, early yes- terday morning, which has just been reports ed here. ‘The propeller Equinox, on her way from Chicago to Bay City Mich., with salt, and towing the schooner Emma E. Ways, with lumber, was overtaken by a storm about two o’clock yesterday morning, near Point au Sauble, 280 miles north of Chicago. The captain of the Equinox tried to stern off at that time, and called out to cut the line. This was done and she im- mediately careened and sunk in a few mins utes. She had on board a crew of 19 men, and Captain Dwight Scott, of Cleveland a well-known lake captain, who was acccom- panied by his wife and grand-daughter making a total of 22 persons. The first ins | timation theschooner had of the catastro. | phe was the shrieks of the drowning. She could render no assistance whatever in the terrible sea that was running, and the entire crew of the Equinox went down. The schooner arrived here this morning.

Hamittos, Sept. 14—A_ terrible and | futal accident occurred by which a man | was accidently strangled to death. About| 7 p. m. as the steamer Algerian was ap- | proaching the piers at Burlington Canal, | while some deck hands was engaged with | others hoisting by means of a double pul- | ley. To save trouble he suggested that a| rope be placed round the shaft. The | other hands objected, but the unfortunate | victim it appears did it. The man who) was hauling foremost at once got rid of the rope, and before anything could be done the deceased had got entang'ed in| the rope and was dragged up to the shait | | before the engine could stop, and was | strangled to death.

The | mate of the vessel who was present at the time, advised them not to partake of it as they were not sure that it was wine. They nevertheless drank it off, and half an hour | later all three were taken with convulsions. Dr. McPherson was immediately sent for, | and pronounced it 4 clear case of poisoning and treated them accordingly. Though | still very ill, they are out of danger. The | contents of the bottle were not known to | any of the officers now in command of the | ship.— North Sydney Herald, rowxep.—A sad drowning — accident occurred near St. John, Monday last, re- suiting in the death of two gentlemen, Dr. Cunningham and Mr. Foster. ‘They in company witha \'r.

that the boat upset. Foster was drowned almost immediately, but Cunningham with Leonard clung to the canoe and managed to hold on for some time when he too lost his hold and was drowned. Five minutes later Mr. Leonard was rescued by a boat which put out to their aid, The bodies of Cunningham and Foster were afterwards recovered, and were buried, the former in Digby and the latter in: St.John.
