Public discussion, open and provoked by those who desire to carry a political or (as in this case) a moral reform ; and the unselfish and benevolent moral reformers who are promoting the coming anti-Scott Act election contest, will soon be heard from the stump, or have their views expressed by the Press. In the meantime, we may be permit- ted to say that it seems a pity the attempt is to be tried before the Scott Act has received a fair trial, aud before the electorate of the whole of Canada has passed upon the question of total pro- hibition. The machinery for enforcing the Scott Act has only just been furnish- ed, and is yet hardly in proper work- ing order; and, as is weil-knowa, the Dominion Alliance are, even now, mak ing preparations to test the question of Prohibition at the next general election. So that, unless it can ,be clearly shown that, in accepting the Scott Act, they have done that which is absolutely and fundamentally wrong, it is now too soon for the electors of Charlottetown to go back upon their tracks, and revoke the action they deliberately took when they placed the liquor traffic under the ban of the law. Further, it seems wrong (does it not?) to legalize a public evil. Even those engaged in it are compelled to acknow- ledge that the liquor traffic is not in itself legitimate, for they ask to have it licensed, and are quite willing to pay for “high licenses, accompanied by many very severe restrictions ;while those not engag- ed in the traffic say that itis the fruitful source of a mischievous evil and the instrament of a deadly sin. Therefore the electors wii! require strong and good reasons before they give their consent, by means Of the ballot, to take on them- selves responsibility for the results—in poverty, misery, sickness and death —of this terrible traffic, and to license the liquor dealers, at however high ai rate. We dont legalize other evils. We don't legalize prostitu- tion, though some of its votaries are sometimes seen in the police courts, and some of them sometimes swear falsely, and suffer punishment. And why should we legalize and license the liquor traffic? Shall we do so simply because there are still men whose appetites are so deprav- ed that they will drink bad liquor in darkened little dens, and because there are still men who, for profit, defy the law and have to endure shame and punishmect; and because there are reasons for suspecting that some degraded creatures from both classes sometimes commit the crime ot perjury? The electors will, we think, require stronger reasons than these; and perhaps, these reasons will appear in the coming discussion. On the other hand, the electors will want to know from the Dominion Alliance whether or not it is their intention to sustain and actively assist the oflicers of the law in enforcing the Scott Act. —_———__-_~- <> oe -- -—_ - In 1846. A GenrtemMaNn of Charlottetown has kindly handed us a copy of The Islander, dated February 14, 1846. It is not so long ago that it was printed, buat a perusal of its pages—its advertisements, and its general reading matter—shows us the very great change which has taken place here within the last thirty-eight years. The “leader” is written in a somewhat sarcastic vein, is_ entitled “Young Prince Eeward Island,’ and indicates that a new order of things is about opening up in the Island; that old-fogyism is lifting its hands in horror at some of the innovations. We copy : ‘‘A New Brunswick paper, some time ag>, called our dsland ‘‘Sleepy Hollow,” Surely if ever we were asleep, it is quite clear that we are now awake. We have even heard that a Bank is about to be established, which will lead to an entire revolution. Treasury warrants, the export of dollars, money accommodation at exor- bitant profits, all, all, at one fell swoop, will fall before ‘‘Young Priuce Edward Island!” The bank predicted was established. 4. history of the institution from its com- mencement to its final collapse would be an entertaining but a harrowing subject to many. In view ofthe present steam accom- modation for the conveyance of passen- gers and freight on the Straits ot North- umberland, the *‘Fourth Anoual Report of the Prince Edward Steam Navigation Company, for 1846, published ia the issue of the /slander we mention, is pecul- larly interesting. We are almost tempted to publish it in full, but, the pressure on our columns prevents,’ “Phe meeting of the company took plag@ on the 10th of February, 1846, T. H. Haviland in the chair, as the Hon. Chas» Hensley, the official chairman, was prevented betyy | f 2 . . Or above board, is, in these days, always | ! the Directors had but one course report says, “to take the necessary steps procuring a steamboat of 60 horse power, to be placed on the station at as |early a period as possible uext season.’’ | Captain Mathewson was instructed to either procure a suitable boat, or else buy a sixty horse-power engine, to be placed in a boat to be built on the Island. The directors had taken steps to get out timber for the new boat, in the event of ajdecision to build here. The total amount of expenditure on the 5t George, in 1845, for winter aud sprivg expenses and outfits, coal, wages, pro visions for twenty men, ete,, was £2,590 14.4; the total receipts were £2,254 8. 10., leaving a agaiast the Company of £106 5. 6. The says, and the logic could not fail to con- vince :— balan e report ‘“‘Under the circumstances above stated, to take, which was, to seek for a purchaser as quickly as possible. It may, perhaps, be scarcely necessary to explain to you, that when you have in your possession an article not ir general demand, and that article not of the very first quality of its kind: when, moreover, it has been so long before the public, that it has become as well acquainted with its ill qualities as yourself, that if the necessity of making a forced sale of it should arise by any adverse circumatances, you must not expect to obtain a very high price forit. Such was our case with respect to the St. George, and the points we had to choose between, were the acceptance of a price, which we might think to be something below her real value, or the refusal of it at the very imminent risk of ultimately making a total loss upon her; for such, we are of opinion, would have been the result of not selling her as we did.” A most interesting feature of ihe number under notice was a correspond- ence between a Mr. Arthur W. Godfrey, of Halifax, N.S, and the Right Hon. Sir Robert Peel, London. Mr. Godfrey points out to Sir Robert, that the North- ern route, as he calls it, to Canton and India, is the shertest and most advan- tageous to Great Britain and her Colonies. This new route which he points out is as follows: From England to Halifax............ 10 days 6 Halifex te Quaker... «6.0: 0. 04% 7 “© Quebec to the Pacific........... — ‘* The Shore of the Pacific to ML « old Bo diic co 4 4ars ue es — 37 days The route laid out from Quebec to the Pacific is by the Saskatchewan river and Lake Winvipeg, aud Mr. Godfrey says that “there is a sure and certain guide for the construction of Railroads by the margin of these water courses.” Is not this the first conception of the Canada Pacific Railway, which is only now being pushed to completion? While submitting schedules of distances to be travelled from England to Canton, by way of France, and also the distances by the Northern route, which he advocates, Mr. Godfrey says :-— ‘Now, the question amounts tc this, is it right that Great Britain should maintain her supremacy in America and in India, ifso, some plan of this kind must be adopt- ed, or else the power ef Great Britain will be destroyed in a few years by the Americans opening up the resources of a vast and new country, and destroying the political and commercial power of England in America and in India.” The whole distance from England to Canton, vic France, is given at 10,528 miles ; by way of Halifax, Quebec, the Saskatchewac and Lake Winnipeg and the Columbia River, at 9,500 miles, makivg a differeuce in favor of the latter route of 1,028 statute miles. The re- ception of Mr. Godfrey’s letters is acknowledged from Downing street, showing that they received some con- sideration. This correspondence took place in 1845, or almost 40 years ago. In the light of present events, it has fea- tures of considerable interest.’ One particular argument used by Mr. God- frey was to the effect that the new route would be ‘direct through the territory of Her Mojesty.” _~cou « —Tne Examiner is under the im- pression that, some time since, the Patrio advocated a daily mail to Pictou; end, this with our present equipment, wou'd of course, uecessitate the cancelling of the weekly trip so Georgetown. But it may possibly have been some other paper; and without taking any further trouble about the matter, we accept the gentle disclaimer which appeared in the Patriot last evening. The name of the Patriot in connection with our com- munications with the mainland was mentioned by Tur Examiner inciden‘ally, aud vot as a subject foranattack. Now- adays the Patriot rarely demands more than a cursory or passing notice.
