From that year the total gradually grew, until atthe close of last year it reached 250,967. —It is pleasing to vote that bicycling is becoming popular in Charlottetown. Bieveling is a manly art. It requires a i head a1 d a steady hand. One who the machin li must need keep away from the tavern refrain from every practice deleterious to the nerves. Bicycles bring ao evi! in their train, The young men of the old country are justly proud of their skill upon bicycles ; and we hope that many young men of this town will ere long be able to boast of their strength, endurance and steadiness upon the machine. We hear it proposed thata short bicycle track be msde on Victoria Park. The proposition is in our opinion a good one. an ride W and » 20 ‘ — Bradstreet’s remarks: “* The doings of the lezislature in relation to New York city’s municipal affairs are fast muking plain the necessity of a com- plete revolution as regards the relations that must obtain between the city and There can be no other onteome the city again in control of The whole city of N rw! York is the prey of contending political factions, with the legislature as a sort of middleman. Principles of the greatest moment are given plaee in the city’s Stile state. Save [0 pill its own ati i laws with no consideration worta men- tioning. But, as indicated, a change of view is fast taking place. The city must soon be allowed to manage its own affairs in its own way.” This may ap- ply to other places besides New York. ~—tl is always the working men thent- selves who feel the direct effects of the strikes. It is estimated that the loss to working meno so iar in 1886 is over $15,000,900, and if the same rate of loss be continued through the coming seven months and a half, there will he a loss to them for this year of over $50,000,000. There will > @ preity large beuefit somewhers make up this great loss. The fact is, strikes always result in the loss falling upon the workmen have uU + Lé lo them-ei res, Kew of themaere able to remain without employmeat for months at @ time, and gutside of the direct money joss there is the bad effect of idleness upon the individual. Is costs a good dea! more, also, for an ordinary person to loaf than it does to work, as there are more opportunities to spend money. —In discussing the commercial and financial outlook, the London Daily News takes a more hopeful view thao for some time past. This is based first ona moderate but apparently healthful and steady revival in the volerae of im- ports after a period of contraction follow- iug a period of excessive importation ; cond, on the likelihood that the “over- trading,” begua ia 1882 has had time to correct itseli ia the reaction which has followed it; and third, because “stocks of various artic’es are reduced.” The latter applies particularly to cotton and wheat, aad will, it is believed, soon ap- ply to timber stocks. In conclusion, it is inferred that ocean freights must rise to a profitable range by the various pro- cesses of dimiaished ship-building, new employment and natura! revival of trade ; but another year or so may be needed for the restoration of the balance. ao —The Freeman’s Journal anticipating the passiog of the Nome Rule measure, states that the present Bauk of freland building will be required for the use of the new Parliament. After the passiog of the Act of Union with Great Bvitain in 1800 the Parliament houses were used by Government for military barracks and stores, and were ultimately let to the Governors of the Bavk of Ireland, who eventually pur- chased the buildings for £50,000. The iterations raade for the purposes of the bank were altogether estimated at £100,- 000. As to the bank’s degree of owner- there it opinion whether there is a clause in the arrange-! meat of purchase that should the premises ever be required for their cerizinal purposes the Irish Government would have the right of compalsory pur- chase, on three years’ notice being given. The Fr believes there is vo such lause, but is satisfied the Bank of Ire- land would meet the nation’s wishes and r li wt a fair price. ’ the a1. ? . r . ship, 1s difference of ee —What object the Patriot has in callieg attedtion to the failure of the tender system iu the case of Haldimand Bridge, does not clearly appear, though the Patriot says it * speaks volumes ” Tt does not “speak” against the Commis- conery, the Putri ?é3 faire anotes the let Lote: 1@ let 8 of the ter A, i ter bnt the hi ‘ters, syhich prove that all the highest tendor Were withdrawn in & regular and formal maoner, and that sioner ot Public Works or the Local | Government—unleas they were parties | to the arrar Mment w hich, it ia pre- | sumed, the tenderers made among | wae neelves ; and the Patriot does not | *Nempt to show tha they were. Onthe| neneert ID the contract fell to the only tenderer who would undertake the work for the sum set opposite his name. If it speaks volumes against anything, it is against the tender system which the Patriot has lately been condemning the Commis- sioner of Public Works for not strictly adhering to. In the Haldimand job—if it be a job—there is a notable example of the fact that the Commissioner of Public Works is justified in using his diseretion, aud, in some instances, de- parting from the tender system. But this isthe lesson which, it may fairly be presumed, the Patriot does not want to draw. The Redpath Concert Company. Tuxsg brilliant musicians gave a second entertainment in the Y. M. C. A. Hall last evening, which was in every musical respect equal to thair first appearance. We regret that a greater number did not avail themselves of the opportunity afforded of hearing really first-clacs artists, and think that it is but a poor evidence of the ‘* eul- chah” of Charlottetown that any strolling company of players, no matter how vulgar their performance may be, is greeted with crowded houses, while real artistic talent is compelled to face a beggarly array of almost empty benches. Two causes may have contributed to this result last night. In the first place one or more of our religious denominations have a prejudice against the Y. M. C. A. Hall, and cannot be induced to go there; and in the second—owing to the peculiar system of architecture adopted —those in the reading room of the Associa- tion can hear a performance in the Hall above as well, if not better, than those actually in the Hall, consequently when a performance is going on there is a greatrun upon the reading room. Great credit is due to Mr. Chappelle for his enterprise in placing such a rare treat within reach oi our citizens, and we are sorry that, in this instance, he will have to be satisfied with the credit as his only remuneration. ~~ ee + The Fisheries Question. The plain truth is that the owners of the New England fishing fleets desire no just settlement of this dispute. What they de- mand is that they shall be permitted to enter the inner waters of Canada for bait, and that the Canadians shall be prevented by high duties from supplying the markets of this country with food fish. They want,in shoct all the advantages which they enjoy- ed under the treaty with Canada and all the advantages which the absence of a treaty can confer on them. While they insist on equal terms with the Canadian fishermen in Dominion waters they are not willing that the Canadians shall have equal terms in the markets of this country. This is what the Fryes and the Dingleys mean by their billsand resolutions in Congress. If the Canadians will not yield to an iniquitous demand they are to be threatened with a warfare of commercial retaliation, or with still greater vengeance. Apart from the abstract principles of justice involved in this question the American people have an interest in it which is not that of the owners of the New England fishirg vessels, Itis rather too much to ask the people of this country to goto war with Canada in vindication of the policy of taxing their supplies of food fish in order that the Gloucester owners of fishing sloops may grow rich at their expense.— Philade/phia Record. ——_— o> Music in Churches. Ata conference of United Presbyterians opposed to the use of Instrumental music in public worship, held recently in Pitts. burg, Pa, a series of resolutions were adopted setting forth the principles of the convention, and demanding the authorita- tive exclusion of instrumental music from the worship of God in the United Presby- terian Church, a3 necessary to ‘‘ the final and peaceful settlement of the difficulty by which for years the Church has been agita- ted.”” Representation to this effect is to be mde to the next General Assembly, and if the Assembly refuses to comply with the request then the ‘ painful necessity ’’ will arise of ‘‘ choosing between obedience to the authority of Christ and acqunieacence in such refusal.” The second Wednesday of May was set apart as a day of special prayer for the presence and guidance of the Holy Spirit in the next General Assembly. The plan of an organization to be called ‘‘ The Solemn League of Covenanters,’’ was con- sidered by the convention and referred to a committee. -——----—_- @ = eo & _-o ——— The Princess Amelie.

The station and the cars which bore the Princess and her party to Paris were hung with flowers and flags, and flowers were strewn in the path of the prospective bride as she alighted from her carriage. M. de Fontaine, the famous artist in bibliopegy, has produced « Prayer book bearing upon its covers the arms of Franco and Brittany, which will be the bride's present from her mother.

Amongst the evictions on the estate of Lord Kenmare, near Killarney, recently, noted the most aggravat-| ing cass is that of Jeremiah Cal-| jaghan, who has eight children, all under | twelve years of age, who, turned out on the roadside, cried and sorrowed ao piteous- ly as to move even the police.
