The United States tore their veins open and spilt their blood in torrents that they might remain one people. There is no need for any blood to be shed to keep us one people, yet we talk placidly of impossi- bilities. The United States, it was said, were parts of a single continent. No ocean ran between south and north, or east and west. Our colonies were dispersed over the globe. What nature had divided man could not bind together; without continuity of soil there could be no single empire. Eacuses are not wanting when the will The ocean which divides, com- bines also; and had the problem been theirs and not ours, the Americans would per haps have found that the sea is the easiest of highways, which telegraph wires under- lie and steamers traverse with the ease and certainty of railway cars. * Impossibility ’ is a word of politicians who are without the capacity to comprehend new conditions.” 18 wanting. -Mr. Wallace's Bill to suppress and prevent Trade Combinations contains the following provisions : ‘Every person who combines, agrees or arranges with any other person, or with any railway, steamship, or steamboat, or trans- portation company (¢) for granting to any person who is a party to such combination, agreement or arrangement, any facility fou the purchase, sale, transportation or supply of any article or commodity which is an object of trade, which facility is, by such combina- tion, agreement or arrangemant not to be granted to any other person who is not a party thereto; (4) For denying to any per- son who is not a party to such combination, agreement or arrangement, any facility for any such purchase, sale, transportation 01 supply, and which, by the provision: thereol, is to be granted to any person who is a party thereto ; For unreasonably enhancing the market price ct any article or commodity which is an object of trade; (d) For unduly restraining the traffic in any such article or commodity ; (¢) For limiting, lessening or preventing the production, manufacture, sale or transportation of any such article or com- modity; (/) For preventing or restricting competition in the production, manufacture, sale Or transportation of any such article o1 commodity —is guilty of a misdemeanor, and liable, on convik to a penalty not exceed- ing $1,000, and not less than $200, or to im- prisonment for any term not exceeding twelve months, and not less than three months, o1 to both.” ion, It also provides that any company that is incorporated by the laws of the Do- minion of Canada, and that has been found guilty of misdemeanors of this kind, shall forfeit its charter. The third and last clause provides that,— ‘Nothing in this Bill shall interfere with chapter 131 on the Revised Statutes o Canada respecting Trade U pions. The Journal says: ** For the informa- tion of unbelievers we may state that in the late session an Act was passed incorpor- ating the ‘Canada and Michigan Tunnel Company,’ with a capital of one million dollars, to construct a tunnel underneath the Detrvit river, a distance of about three- quarters of a mile. This tunnel is to be on the same principle as the Northumber- land Strait Subway, and of the same size, and will laid dewn on Mr. Hall’s plan, with the water-tight caisson or eworkshop. The incorporators include such be well-known men as Andrew Onderdonk, | of New York, the celebrated engineer, George Bliss, D. O. Mills and H. B. Laid-, law, the New York bankers. The tunuel will be built this summer, and will be com- pletely finished in time for a particular ex- amination previous to next session of Par- | liament. It is much to be hoped that the success of this project will be such as to induce the Guvernment to proceed with the immediate construction of the Strait Sub- way, and thus finally remove what must ever continue to be a standing grievance on the part of this Island against the Dominion. If to some the Government seem to lack in- terest in this great matter. it membered that we have only ourselves to blame. At the Jast General Election, the people of this Island took matters in their own hands, and returned six pro- nounced opponents of the administia- tion, men who have never ceased ridicul- ing the project which has been ap- proved by some of the highest authorities in America. Their qeturn to Parliament Was a direct intimation that our peuple did not want the Subway. But still we bel: ve we shail get it. ti we have to wait,till the Libera! party attain power, we shall ‘wait for ever, and our people already see that.” <ancemnaneatiaag peared. i ! | Last week Sir Morell McKenzie succeeded ‘ing his Imperial patient’s throat, and the | district, THE DAILY EX Varia.

Our Queen has returned to England and has already held a Drawing Room, which was preceded by a special performance of Sir Arthur Sullivan's ** Gulden Legend ” at the Albert Hall onthe day before. There are not very many great English composersat the present time, and it is well to see Royalty appreciating aud encouraging them in this way. * * es Two high authorities on military matters, the Duke of Cambridge and Lord Wolse ey, have lately made some startling assertions about the state of the British army. What they say 1s very much what Sir Charles Dilke and Colonel Maurice have been saying for some time past, viz: that England has not yet got an army sufticient for self defence. The naval wuthorities .have the same thing to say— and as usual with sailors their opinions are strongly expressed—about the navy. It seems that notwithstanding the vast expen- diture necessary for maintaining the army and navy, England is not secure from at- tacks which may be made any day, attacks which her recent policy of dispensing with continential alliances make more probable. But the people who could remedy all this if they liked, the Parliamentary chiefs, are not at all disturbed. They pay no atten- tion to the warnings of the experts, and go on framing estimates without the least regard to what they are told are the needs of the services. The ministers seem to think that they have done their uty when they point out that these needs exist, though they have no intention what- ever of supplying them. This is better, however, then denying their existence. It is true that some fortifications have been strengthened, and mere men enlisted; meanwhile the English people are living in the hupe that they will be better pro- tected hereafter —if theday of trial does not come before they are properly prepared for it. +.* I do not think I haye everseen a complete list of National nicknames. © The following are as many as I have been able to collect : For an American of the United States, “Brother Jonathan,” For a Dutchman, “Nie Frog,” and heer Cl ms For an Englishman, “John Bull.” For a Frenchman, **Crapaud,” Johuny or Jean; Robert Macaire.

But I venture to make an exception for one which appeared in a late number of the Empire, and which, I think, merits a place in this column :— An English schoolboy was suddenly and sternly asked by an examiner; ‘‘ Who signed Magna Charta?’ and though he knew very MINER, well that he personally was guiltless, he couldn't help trembling at being suspected of , anything which could be spokén of'in sach a , bone, and at once renounced the act with } may26—ti sle eee alarm and indignation. ‘*Pléase, sir, I didn’t,” adding to make sure of safety, ‘‘ and if T did I'll neverdo it again.” “Why, you stupid’ fellow,” said the master, ‘‘ nobody suid there was any harm init.

Sir,—Fifty-six years ago this month there was a cholera scare in this town. The Solomons held a meeting to banish the pigs. There happened to be at this meet- ing a gentleman just from England, so they asked him if the pigs were put out of towns there... Said he: ‘tI never listened to such a lot of fools; the cholera never caine into a house where a pig was kept. If you want the plague to come banish the pigs, if not, keep them.” So the animals have had good times till another generation of wise-acres sprung up. My object in writ- ing is to say that unless there are scaven- gers appuinted to take away the offal there will be far more bad smell in the yards than from a pig stye. I think a by-law should be made to compel people to keep the stye clean. I also think it a great sin to see the good waste of a house going to the ash- pit. I have kept pigs for some years, and my neighbor did not know I had one, only on killing day. I can make from $15 to $20 a year on my pig, which would be thrown away to make a nuif&nce in my back yard. Yours, A Diseustep CrrizEn. Queen’s Birthday. Six,—One could not kelp noticing the scarcity of bunting on Queen’s Birthday. The bare flag poles throughout the town seemed to rebuke the apathy of our people. Early in the morning an ensign was hoisted on the Post Office building, but was taken down shortly aftewards. The American flag a the Consul’s office and a very few others, were all the decorations of the anniversary of Her Majesty’s sixty-ninth birthday. Nothing adds more to the beauty of a city on any holiday than a pro- fuse display of hunting, and if is to be hoped that in the future more attention will be paid to the subject, CITIZEN. Telegraphic. Srm,— It is often asked why our Telegraph Otfice does not open for a short time on 4@n- day. Very often the inconvenience of haying it closed to business on that day is seriously felt. In mostly all other citiesof the sizé of Charlottetown this privilege is granted, and it certainly should obtain here. Yours, BaTrery. — —— Hanlan's Decadence. May 26, 1888, The Philadelphia Public Ledger has this to say editorially of Hanlan’s decadence : ‘* Hanlan, the orsman, for several years at the head of his occupation and noteworthy then for his uprightness, has evidently past his prime, and with his decadence come stories of attempts to foul his opponent, which, fortunately, did nut succeed. He was a wonderful oargman in his day, aud is entitled to full credit for what he has done, though now it is apparent that there are half a dozen men in the world who. can beat him. Supremacy in that as in other athletic sports is partly a question of age, the younger man, if he be equally strong and skilful, having. the advantage.” GENTLEMEN who usually get their boots masie to order would do well to call at Goff Bros. and see their beautiful lines of French calf ond Cordovan hoots.
