that fixity of purpose, and indestructible |
union which existed during the last five years, no power on earth can resist them (Cheers. ) the patriotism of our people

and under such conditions in in Westminster, as to secure that it shall be the last in England, and restored Irish Parliament.

The Britich Elections
THe General Elections in England, Scotland avd Ireland will be held on and about the 14th November. situation” has rarely been more interest ing at the commencement of a great political conflict. Of the two great par ties, the Conservatives occupy by far the most advantageous position. They are in power, and though their home policy is not yet fully defined, there is no doubt about who shall lead them in the fight. The Liberals are not wanting in strong men; but Gladstone—not unpaturally— hesitates, and is reticent.
For the Radical wing of the party, Chamberlain has spoken with no uncertain sound. The Radicals, he says, will uppose the Iedependence Dodge of Mr. Parnell, tooth and nail; and on this point the Liberal party will undoubtedly bea unit. The Radicals will, however, submit a moderate scheme of ‘domestic government” for Ireland; and they will advocate free schools, and the revision of the land and game laws. Mr. Chamber- lain declares that “if the appropriation of certain lands is necessary for the public good, the rights of property must go to the wall,” Whether this plank in the Radica! platform will be accepted by
Mr. Gladstone, Lord Hartington, and the Whig section of the Liberal party,
remains to be seen. Or perhaps the land question will be quietly kept as far as possible out of sight by the Liberal pariy, aod they will play ‘reforms in gevera!,’’ and opposition to the designs of Parnell, in particular, for all they aie worth.
The Conservative Party, on the other hand, are strong only in their Foreign Policy; and everything about the Foreign office is working so smoothly just pow that it is not likely that foreign affairs will exercise much influence over the electorate when they come to mark their ballots. With respect to ‘the great questiou,the Conservatives are hampered by their relations with the Parvellites. To the Parnellites they owe the advan- tageous position they now occupy; and they are, moreover, handicapped to some extent by the utterances of Lord Ran dolph Churchill. So far they have, as a party, given no sign concerning the position taken by Mr. Parnell, though there is no doubt that an overwhelming majority of the people of England and Scotiand stand determined to oppose to the uttermost the severance of Ireland from the Union.
Mr. Parnell, on his part, is playing for bigh stakes, and is, no doubt, using the best card in his hand. He wants to come back to Parliament with such a following that he will be able to hold the
balance between the two parties; and if
either or both pariies refuse to accede to nis demands, ke will then be ion a position to obstruct public business with dignity and effect, and so compel the ac- quiesence of Parliament. To gain this
end, he has made ‘ihe Inde-| pendence of Treland” his rallying ery,—‘“his siugle plank.””’ Whether
he means simply Local Seif Government, such as we have, or absolute indepen- dene of the British Empire, is not very clear. He speaks of the next Parliament at Westminster as the last, as far as Ireland is coucerned ; but all the reforms he proposes to carry in the new, or restored I ish Parliament, are such as properly beioag to a Local Levislature No doubt he is acting advisedly in leav- ing the matter in a hazy state. In any case, “ lndepeudence for Llreland” is good, and may be couited on to evoke a hearty expression of Trish feeling in the prac'ical aud detiuite shape of supporters for Mr. Pa: nell.
To prevent Mr, Parnell from carrying out his cleverly conceived scheme, it will be necessary, either that one of the great National Parties shall have so lerge a majority as to be independent of him, or that the two Parties, or the chief elements of the two Parties,shall combiue against him. Unless Mr. Gladstone rise again in his strength, it may be re- garded as iropossible for the Liberal Party to obtain a majority of ninety or a hundred; and, therefore, the result will probably be a combination after the elections are over.
— Light is thrown upon the subject of personal incomes in Ireland by a_parlia- mentary return which has just been issued. It gives part'culars of the assess- ments to income tax in the years 1874, 1879, and 1884, and distinguishes the gradatious of income derived from trades and professions in those yeurs. It appears that in 1884 there were 6,989 persous in Ireland whose incomes varied from £150 to £200 a year; there were 4,932 who had incomes of £200 to £300

Colonial and Indian Exhibition.
A mertinG of the Advisory Board ap pointed by the Provincial Government to consider and report to the Government the practicability of this Province’s products, manufactures and resources being repre- 'sented at the Colonial and Indian Empire | Exhibition to be held in London, Eng., during the year 1886, was held in the Law | Courts Building, Charlottetown, on Friday, | Lith September, inst., at 12 o'clock, noon.
Hon. Senator Haythorne, who was ap- pointed Chairman, made some excellent remarks, showing the many benefits likely to accrue to this Province from an exhibit to the people of Great Britain of the many productions of this Island.
After considerable discussion respecting the nature end amount of exhibits which it would be possible to secure and forward to this exhibition, the opinion was uraaimous- y concurred in that it would be better to make no effort to forward any articles, un- less such an exhibit was obtaiped as would do justice to the fertility of our soil, the industry of our people and the excellency of our institutions. The Gesirability, how- ever, of having this Province properly re- presented on this great occesion was gener- | ally admitted.
The following resolution moved by the Hon. D. Ferguson, M. E. C. seconded by ithe Hon. Archibald J. McDonald, M. E. | C., was unenimously adopted.
Whereas, This Board has no notice of the appointment of a Dominion Agent for this Provinee at the Colonial and Indian Exhibition to be held in London, England, nex* year ; and
Whereas, Archibald McNeill, Esq., of Charlottetown, has served in the capacity ef Secretary to former Boards, and by his exertions contributed largely to the suceess- ful display of Island productions exhibited at Paris, Philadelphia, Montreal, St. John and Halifax, and has acquired extensive experience in carrying into’effect the details of the business connected with the cullec- tion and transmission of exhibits ;
Therefore Resolved, That in the opiaion of this Board, the appointment of the said Archibald McNeill, Eeq., would te a very suitable one; and
Further Resolved, That a copy of this re- solution be transmitted to the Honorable, the Minister of Agriculture, Ottawe.
On motion of Hon, D. Ferguson, second- ed by Henry Longworth, Esq., George F. Owen, of Cardigan, was appointed Secre- tary to the Advisory Board, and instructed to forward the foregoing resolution.
Meeting adjourned.

The Subway Scheme
(St. John Telegraph.)
| The proposed railway subway to connect P, E. Island and New Brunswick is at- tracting considerable attention. We agree with Tue Examiner that if the scheme is practicable, the Dominion Government are quite as much bound to spend the required three or four millions to carry it out as they | were to spend a hurdred millions to build a ‘railway to British Columbia. Oar Island friends may count upon the support o! New Branswick in the furtherance of any practi- cable scheme of moderate cost to give them daily steam communication with the main- land summer and wiater, according to the terms of union
(Moutreal Gazette )
Senator Howlan is actively interesting himself in the scheme advocated by him at | the last session of Parliament, ef cor nect- ing Prines Edward Isiand with the main- land by means of combined bridge and sub- marine tube. The distance across the Straits of Northumberland at the point where the work would be constructed is about eight miles, only the middle portion of which would be tubing. The Sevaior has had interviews with Professor Ball, of |New York University, and Dr. H. 8 Hall, | President of the New York Submarine Tube jand Tannél Company, who express their | belief in the feasibility of the idea, and are
ready to undertake the carrying of it out.
hey are now on the ground inspecting the |site. There are in successful operation in | England and elsewhere several of there sub- | marine tubes, but none of se great a length }or in so deep water as in the preaent in- |stance. The bottom of the strait is said to be peculiarly suitable for sacha work, and there does not seem to be any insuperable engineering difficulty in the way of carrying it out. The greatest problem to be solved will be the financial one.
Carr Puitxips [rvine, witha boat's crew, }is engaged surveying two lines from Cape | Traverse to Cape Journemaine reef (with 'eross angle survey), for Messrs. Bull and Hall, with a view of giving the proper con- tour of the bottom of the Straits, in order ' that they (Messrs. Bull and Hall) may he ‘able to make an estimate for the subway. |When the survey is completed, Senator ' Howlan will forward the report immeviately
to New York.

Improvement Jeremiads.
Sir,—‘' It will. never do to give up so.”’
Give up what? Why, that combination of interests and benefits to the whole Island, but Charlottetown in particular, that will (when accomplished and thrown into work- ing efficiency) be recognized under the terms Hotel, Bathing facilities, Boating accommodation, Pierage, Park accessibility, and attractions to tourists generally, Not one of these questions has a_ single objector within tae boundaries of the city, and if they were severally or collectively submitted to a popular vote, they would be all endorsed with a nemine contradicente.
This being so, where’s the bitch? The tight little Island is not anchored more fast to the bed rock of its foundation than the people who plough and reap, and fish and trade on its surface, are riveted to the stony formation of their ideas of advancing prosperity. The grass grows under their feet ; everywhere disorder prevails; and what is really everybody’s business is, in this case, deemed to be nobody's. The hotel should not be a matter of jeal- ous obstruction, but of speedy and rational co-operation. The merchant sbould recol- lect that business opportunities are created by customers, not stores. The fishing intererts should learn how a sprat may catch a herring. The farmers should take the moral of the fact that grains planted are ears reaped—and the private citizen should become aware that there are a few people outside this fertile and beautiful province, though there may bea good many in it. The Herald article on these questions last week was well timed, well written, and well received. That is generally assented to by our citizens, and what on earth makes the whole thing iocluding waterworks, drain- age and sanitation hang fire, is » mystery. Citizens of Charlottetown, for once be unanimous in action as we’! as in the theory of improvement. Put your hands to the plough, your shoulder to the wheel, and your hearts into Charlottetown, and you will soon be crowdel with

Boston, Sept. 9.
Fisa.—There continues to be a fair lob- bing trade and prices are steady. Mackerel continue to arrive freely from the fleet, and fares out of pickle are selling at a shade easier prices, but this is because the propor- tion of No. 1 is very small. Sales of Eastern fares at $5 50 per bbl, with bbl. lnspected lots are held at full previcus rates. Sales rule at $4 for No 3; $6 to $7 for No 2; and $14 for No 1. Separate lots of No3 command a slight advance on $4, and Nol are worth from $16 to $18 per bbl. A fleet of 200 sail left Boothbay on Saturday for the fishing grounds, and if the mackerel should come out from the rocks,as they are liable to do at any time, the vessels would be likely to make some large hauls. Codfish are selling moderately at previous prices. We quote large dry Bank at $3.50; and medium $2 50; large pickle cured Bank at $2.75 and $3; and medium at $2.50; large pickle cured shore at $3.50 and $3.75, and dry shore at $4 per qu. Hake are selling at $2 per qtl. A cargo of Bay of Island herring has arrived, 700 bris., but not disposed of at last ac- counts. Large new Nova Scotia split herring are nominally $5 and $5.25 per bri. Smoked Herring are easier, with sales of medium scaled at 15c, and No. 1 at 10c per box Canned Lobsters are firm at $1.70 to $1.75 per dozen.
Porators—The market continues to be liberally supplied with Potatoes, mostly from near by sources. Sales rule princi- pally at $1.75 per barrel. Car stock from New York and New Hampshire range from 50 to 60 cents per bushel, as to quality.
Eces—The market opens with a firmer tendency, and sales of Eastern extra have been made at 18 and 184 cents. The best marks of Island sold at 164 and 17 cents, with Northern at 16 and 164 cents. We quote P. E. Island at 16} to 17 cents.
Cuwese,—The market has lost its buoy- ancy, and a slight reaction has set in, though holders of fine fresh stock see no reason to lower their figures much. The best New York factory is held at 8} cents, and Vermont at 8 cents, but buyers ara not disposed to offer within ce. of these prices. Reports from the country show a slight decline, byt the disposition of sellers is to hold back, and we would not be surprised to see another start next week. Exports from New York last week were 40 389 bxs. an’ from Montreal 41,405 boxes, a total of 81791 boxes against 100,000 boxes the week previous,
