BRUARY 4, 1886, _ LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. A Suggestion. Sir,—An item in your issue of yesterday intimates that a Literary and Dramatic Club is being formed in connection with the Church of Evgland here, but what Church it does not say. I do most sincereley hope that instead of encouraging Dramatic Ciubs among her yorng men, the Church of England may awake ont of sleep, and hold a series of mission services that will, under the blessing of God, lead to the salvation of never-dying souls. A CHURCHMAN New Fishing Firm. Sir,—We are informed by good author- ity that an extensive fishing establishment is about to be erected at McHachern’s harbor, South Lake. under the manage- ment of McDonald and Keole, This firm will be run on an improved scale, and will confer a great benefit to the eastern part of the Island, and will give employment to a number of fishermen. The above gentle- men being men of experience in fishing purposes, will without doubt meet with good success. The weather is unfavorable at present and prevents lumbering to some extent. An OLp SusscrIBER. East Poit, Jan, 29, 1886. Letter from Tom Allen. S1e,—I see by the little Island paper that we are going to have religious meetings at the Capes this winter. What a good government we must have—yes, what a government we must have, to send an astronomer here to teach us, with his glass six feet long, all about the ice, and the stars, and the storms, and the tides, and the boathooks, and the goodness knows what, and Bill Casey’s mother! What will Tom do? He’ll preach; they can’t stop him from preaching. They can take the rum away, but they can’t stop him from preaching and going out on the board ice. No, no, they can’t do that! [ must have my little time. the astronomer can’t stop me, No, they can’t, cully luya! We’ll get our pay now ; we can pay our board now ; we can pay for our rum now—yes! yes! yes !—but I for- got, we don’t drink any rum now. We must go to meeting now on Sundays. What a people we are! Whatamanlam! Disasters will come—we haven't any trained Captains now, they all go by spirit compass, and by foghorn, and by glass six feet long, and sign their names in a book, and the men won’t do anything only what the Cap- tains tell them. Yours truly, Tom ALLEN. Cape Tormentine, Feb. 2. A Voice from Colorado. Str,—In leoking over your issue of January 3th, I notice an article under the heading of ‘A Protest,” and after reading carefully, { came to the conclusion that there was considerable of the Pharisee about the sessiea of St. James’ Presby- terian Church, Charlottetown, or, as they style themselves, ‘‘ We, the session ;” and I think that if their prayers would have the desired effect of controlling the disease, there was nothing to prevent them from praying in private, for God would hear them thom just as well in their own private closets, and answer them just as soon as if they stood on the house tops and street corners, beseeching Him in a loud The foghorn can’t stop me; Sixcie Corres Two CENTS, VOL. 18—NO. 62, British Merchant Shipping. A correspondent of the London Times re- cently gave a short retrospect of British merchant shipping, in the counrse of which he said that there was no British industry which had in late years suffered s0 much from depression and want of confidence as that of shipping and the allied trade of shipbuilding. During the last two years, especially, those great interests appear to have passed through a severe crisis, which is still in an acute stage, and from which there are not as yet any substantial pros- pects of recovery. The cause of this state .of things is to found, ac- cording to the writer in question, first, in the large additions made to the register of the merchant marine, particularly in steam vessels, between 1879 and 1884, and second- ly, in the depression that overtook the general trade of the country within the same period. The effect of theso two in- fluences was to entail very serious depres- sion and consequent suffering on working- men and their families, in all the chief centres of the shipping trade, while many hundreds of small capttalists who were led to invest in shipping property have suffered in a scarcely less degree. The total tonnage added to the British register since 1880 was 2,989,853 tons, while 2,147,435 tons have been withdrawn, ieaving 4 net addition of 842.418 tons, being practically the ton- nage represented by the output of the shipbuilding yards in a single year. But when the details are analyzed, the increase becomes much more substantial than the mere figures would indicate. A table of vessels added to and deducted from the registers of the ports of the United King- dom in the five years ending with 1884 shows that, while the sailing tonnage added was 591,000 tons under that deducted, the additions of steam tonnage over that period amounted to 1,433,000 tons in excess of the corresponding deductions. After a full consideration of all the circumstances, the writer eoncludes that it is reasonable to hope that before long the trade will assume acondition of greater activity. Ke bases his hope on the probable demand for new tonnage by both home and foreign navies, and on the remarkably small cost of the construction of steamers at the present time. — Some Startling Disclosures. Richard 8S, Dement, Sarveyor-General of Utah, reached Washington last week, and was closeted with Commissioner Sparks at the Land Office, and also had along inter- view with Secretary Lamarg. Dement brings from his investigations of the Land Office frauds trunks full of documental proof and a most remarkable story. Dement says that within the past ten years there have been committed in Utah the most astound- ing frauds ever perpetrated on the Ameri- can continent, and his discoveries not only cover Officials in the territory, but involve senators, members of congress, and former officials in the interior department. These mysterious documents are said to disclore the transactions of Mormon agents in Washington, and the means they have used to prevent iegislation and use favorable decisions by the supreme court of the United States. Several people who have heard Demen?’s statements regard them as somewhat wild, but he claims to prove all he says. dencmguuaatiity tiliiinamaiie Inundated Grain. A despatch from Stockton, Cal., of Jan. 31, says :—-A cross levee, which separated the lower division of Robert’s Island from the middie division, gave way yesterday, voice to hear and answer their prayors Instead of singing praises to the Board) of Heaith and city officials for their untir-} ing efforts in stamping out ‘he diseas: they try to convey the idea, tirough th Press, that said health officers have out-| rageously erred in prohibiting that ill-used | ‘‘Session” from ‘*praying in public in time! enlightened, there is no such passage in the | New Testament, and I would like that hon-| orable body to enlighten my darkened | mind; then I shall stand corrected. | There is, no doubt, something § iu the Old Testament that might, with a little straining, suit their case, but it was) for the Jews, and if this session comes under the jurisdiction of the Jewish law, | why I shall have no more to say.

And now I shall sum up this session in a few words: they are only equalled by the of a public calamity.” Now, as far as 1 am! e I would advise the gentle- | : : men of said session to remove to Mexico, | thinks you are trying to flirt with her. close | Churches, nor stop the diseased natives from | table, and she understands that you are allowing the water to cover 35,000 acres of land, of which 12,000 acres were in wheat- surrounds the island, The levee, which broke at the middle section several days ago, flooding the section, which comprised 12,000 acres of grain This brought a heavy pressure of water against the cross levee, which was being constantly strength- i, but, as it proved, without avail. Most of the inundated Jand is owned by the Glas- gow California Land Co., composed princi- pally of foreign capitalists. The loss is estimated at $600,000. -<ape- Mutiny at Sea.
