LETTERS TO THE EDITOR, —-- ~ Letter from Mr. F. W. L. Moore. Sir,—Rev. D. MecNeill’s letter in your issue of last Saturday shows that he has failed to vrasp my meaning. For I can- scarcely think that he intended to misrepre- sent what L said, in the way he has done. He says that, after refusing to be drawn in o a discussion of prohibition, [ was bold enough to condemn it and its promoters, unheard That is not true. lf he had tskeu the trouble to look at my first letter, he would have seen that it was headed ** Prohibition Discussed”; and that my main object in writing was to point out that, at a meeting called to raise Scott Act funds, not a word was said in support of the | principle of that Act. What I did decline » dea! in the press with the | whole liquor question, and, in particular, | with the details of a license law. | He accuses me of bemg **an out and out | aivocate for the utmost liberty or license to sellers and drinkers of ardent spirits, to do Where he got this idea [ do not certainly not from my let- He seems to have jumped to the con- ‘common among people who make | prolubition their hobby—that everyone who }opp ses the Scot! Act is, of necessity, a ‘*‘triend of the rummies,” as they elegantly | | ' + } Was to sffempt “ KRROW rs. | t ciusion phrase it. He must have seea that I condemned the i Scott Ac be- re- t, not only on principle, but cause of its results; that, among those | sults, | reckoned the fact that the liquor traffic is, every Way, more injurious now than it was under the license sytem; and that, while disapproving of prohibition, I 1m in sympathy wita legitimate tem- perance work. Mr. McNeill speak: in a sneering way of my advocacy of the “ rights of rumsellers snd drinkers.” Idraw no distinction be- tween their rights and those of apy other itizens. I will ** hew to the line, let the chips fall where they may.” It is all very well to set up as a defender of the ** rights f desolated families, wives and mothers.” But, [| want to know what share in the blame for thuse sad things is to fall on the shoulders of the men who brovght the Scott Act into force, and who, after finding it unworkable, continned it in force, apd l'owed things to gu from bad to worse, in way they have done; of the men vho, on every occasion, publicly and vostentatiously endorse that law, and, in their private life, act directly contrary to its principle; of the men who, with their own cellars full of the best wines and liquors, have forced others, not so for- tunate, into a sneaking habit of resorting fur their drink to back kitchens, and stables and dena of evil repute. As to the insinuation that I have mis- aken my calling, [ neg to remind Mr. Me- Neill that that is my business and not his ; and woulJ advise him in setting forth what he believes to be right, in pointing out the mistakes of others, and in trying to re- claim them from the error of their ways, to make use of a little more Christian temper- and fairness, or the imputation which he hurls at me may recoil oa his own head.

Sin,—The present seems to me an op- portune time to direct the attention of the governing powers lo certain necessary im- provements in the Island railway service. Public opinion is just now at a unit in de- manding a swifter and more suitable steam boat service between the Island and the mainland, and a closer connection by rail m the other side. Improvements both on the part of the Goveroment and the S. N. Cu. are promised and must be forthcoming. But whilst every effort is being made tu secure to the few continental travellers better tacilities, should we be satisfied with the present shabby way in which the whole westero Community is treated in the matter of radway conveniences? It is notorious that the cars now used on the western end of our road, at least, are simply disgraceful. And not only are the cars uncomfortable ind unsightiy, but a sufticient number of them, such as they are, cannot be had to all purpuses. On No. 1, as constituied, the people travelling second class (and because the fares are high many must travel ia this class) are obliged (o put up with a filthy, close, compartment, where male passengers conyregate to smoke and spit tobacco, and indulge in free and easy conversation. Many a decent woman, tuo poor to take a first-class car, is com- pelled to make a long journey in such an atmosphere and in such company. It is one good thing that our conductors have more heart than the heads of the service, aad therefore have I uften seen them usher- ing poor women, situated as above des- ribed, into the first-class car, as they had uv authority to prevent smvuking where it was indulged in, and would nt see women subjected tu such indigaities, A smoking car and a more comturtable passenger car yughtn't to be a demand that even the most autucratic and cheese-paring railway magnate would term unreasonable. Aod we want a better train service. If t fast boat isto be put on the Summerside- Shediac route, she should be put there for the general public and not for Summerside sad Charlottetuwn alone. I contend that an express train should leave Tignish and meet now ;Charluttecown every morning tu connect withthe boat. ‘These trains could be run at the same e€Xpense exactiy as now eutail- ed, sud would afford much increased facilities for travel. If the new boat makes her trips in the tume proposed, a special train will have to gv out from Charlottetown tur the mai 6 anyhow,asthe present arrange- ment of awaiting the Tignish express would ovnstitute an intolerable delay. If there is apy part of the road paying, it is certain'y the western end, and we hope that to the west a little more attention in railway matters will be given in the future than in the past. The policy pursued in certain departments of waiting fur a surplus before any lmprovemei.ts are vouchsated is one that can never obtain here, and as we are paying an amount of money into the Federal ex hequer far in excess of what we receive in public benefits, it is but reasonable that our modest demands be met in a spirit ot fairplay. Whether or not these suggestions commend themselves to our Superintendent wid his superiors at Ottawa, of one thing We are Ine pos tion to assure them, and it s that uutli our rights are acknowledged in (his maiter they will hear, in season and Ki, D. Cr —What ie itt re of pousun, trom the | W pean Vepnry, ’ i be: Oddfellows’ Natal Day. Tus morning opened gloomily, but to- wards noon the sun shone forth snd the Oddfellows are enjoying a very tine day. About twenty-five members of Priuce Edward Lodge, with their friends, arrived by special train shortly be- fore eleven o clock At two o'clock, the members assembled at Oddfeliows’ Hali, and at 245 marched to the Methodist Brick Church, where an excellent discourse was preached by Bro. the Rev. W. W. Brewer, from Hebrews, 13. 1, ‘* Let brotherly Jove continue.” Bro. the Rev. S. A. Cahill, of Summerside, assisted at the service. The novel feature of an ex- clusively male choir—members . of the Order—was most pleasing, and the music excellently rendered. At the conclusion of the service, the brethren re-formed in pro- cession, and, aftor parading several of the principal streets, returned to their Lodge Room. The procession was one of the most imposing ever seen in the city. The new and elegant regalia of the Encamp- ment was much admired, and the blue col- lar, authorized by the Sovereign Grand Lodge for subordinates, was by many con- sidered very appropriate. The closing exercise of the day will be the rendition of ** H. M. S. Pinafore,” in the Market Hall this evening. As _ the O idfellows are proverbial for the excel- Jence of their entertainments, we can safely predict a rich treat to all who attend. Summerside, siitenesssiiaaeiettiiiininiigas Court of Chancery.

ABDALLAH MESS@NGER 4869. A BUALLAH MESSENGER, 4869, is look ing well this season. He wili be in Charlottetown on Thursday, May Ist, at the stables of Andrew Duyl-, and remain until Saturday, May 3, at & o'clock + thence to Emerald, at John Hughes’, at noon and will remain until 2 o'clock; thence t owner's stable, and remain till Monday, May 5, at noon ; thence to Cape Traverse, and re- main till Tuesday the 6th, at noon, at Strang’s hotel.; thence to the owner’s stable, and re- main till Wednesday morning, the 7th ; thence to Kensington, and remain till T’vur- day, the Sth, at nvon ; thence to Geo. Muttart’s, Sum- merside, and 1emain there Thursday eveuing, Friday and Saturday, at noon ; thence to the owner's stable, and remain until Tussday morning, May 13; thence by train to Char- lottetown, and remain at Andrew Doyle’s, till Saturday morning, May 17; thence by train to Emerald, This route will be continued fortnightly during the season, health and weather per- mitting, with a few changes. The grand old horse, Abdallah Messenger, 4°69, is one of the finest steck getters in the Dominion, He was limited last season to 80 mares, and there was 5 come after the season was over, and he will have 81 colts to his credit thisseason.. He has sume of the finest brood mares ia the Dominion and United States to his credit, and he has some of the finest young stallions in the Province to his credit. ‘Toat beautiful horse Parnell and many others, and his celts took first prize at the exhibition last fallin Summerside. Rev. Dr. Doyle has one of the finest young fillies in the Dominion sired by Abdallsh Messenger, 4869. I don’t wani to fill up the paper with nonsense like many other horsemen in P. EK. I. I believe in standard bred stock, and have got the grand ho:se to produce standard bred, and don't you furget it. Why don’t some of those great bl »wers show fone of their colts the same as Bijou that trotted in 2.18 last summer, and is loweriog his record up to this date. I need uot be puffing Abdallah, for every mania the Dominion kuows he is a good stock horse. Every standard bred horse in P. E. Island claims the blood of Abdali +h. Any one wanting the pedigree of Abdallah Messenger can get it by applying. I will limit Abdallah to 80 mares this season. He has now booked 35 for this season, and they are sending their names in every day. Any mares missing this year will get free service next season. I gave special prizes for the 3, best colts last year, 1889, and I will give them for 1890 and 1891. JOHN O'RONAGHANW. Kinkora, April 23—1li For Sale or To Let.
