tative company which sat down to lun- cheon yesterday in the spacious and beau- tiful saloon of the steamehip Gaspesia. Firat of all, there were the prominent men of the old guard—those whocarried on trade and shippisng and public business in the days of sailing vessele and weekly maile— Hon. L. C. Owen, Hon. Daniel Davies, Commodore Weleh, Charles Palmer. Esq., W. E. Daweon, Eeq., and others, combining wealth of experience with keen apprecia tion of the progress of the age and the needs of the day. Then there were such men a8 Professor Anderson, Hon. Senator Ferguson, Premier Farquharson, Hon. B, Rogers, Mr. Myrick, of Tignish, and others just past the middie age, and still intensely aterested in the business that is now going va. After them, the younger men who are pishing forward by their energy those enterprises which makes it possible for an ocean steamship to take in cargo at Char- lottetown during the Christmas soo.

J amer,

Guardian, Mr. Brennan of the Sammer- side Journal, Mr, Nash of the Patriot, and Mr. Cotton of Tue

Examiner, aod many others, too numerous to mention,—the whole presided over by Captain Montague Yates, General Manager of the Canadian Steamship Company—a Charlottetown boy—one of the successful Islanders—Mr. George Longworth, Local Manager, and Captain McKinnonof the Gaspesia.

Seventy-six persone may, at the same time, take their seats at the table of the saloon in which the luncheon was given; the adjoining staterooms are large and comfortable ; al] the cabin appointments of the Gaspesia are. those of a first-class steamship. Captain Yates aesured the guests of his company present, that if suf- ficient encouragement were given, tke Gaspesia, or

port of call.

The value of steamship accommodation between Charlottetown and Great Britain having been sufficien'ly demonstrated, it is while to consider the by which the boon may be obtained in per- petuity. In this connection the first point to be noted was well brought out by the President of the Board of Trade, viz. the necessity of standing together and limiting our patronage as much as possible to the line which patronizes us,

worth means

People when

they become rich and independent can perhaps afford to give their orders bere and there and everywhere—to “ scorn the base depends by which they did ascend”; but it is the policy of those who are still struggling to help those by whom they are helped. As it is with individuals, so it is with communities. This isa growing and struggling community; ocean steam- ships are essential to the community’s de- velopment;-—let us, therefore, cortinue, ina reasonable way, to bring our trade to the ocean steamships which come to P.E. Island direct from Great Britain and take our products direct to the markets there.

A FEW FOINTS TO BE NOTED.

Tat was a somewhat rotable represen -

vessels superior to her, would continue to make Charlottetown a; educate our young men aad women, and}

ability of its people.

A fear has been expressed that steams |

ships going to Milford Haven will not be as suitable for Our purposes as those which make Liverpool or Londen or some cther of the great porte their destinstion, The fear may be well grounded, or it may not. Premier Farqubareon and others who spoke yesterday expressed the opinion that shippers to various poicts in Eng- land would, probably, have greater satis- faction by way of Milford Haven than by any other way. The point to be noted in this connection ie that a practical experi« went is about to be made and that the question will be decided.

Much that was enid yesterday concerning the importance of unity of action and mutual covoperation on the part of our farmers and mercharte has already been expreesed by Tue Examiner. The great and evident need of the community ia some one to do for Prince Edward Island in particular that which Professor Robert- son ie doing for Canada at large. If our Provincial Government were worth any thing at all it would long ere this have anticipated this need, have cut down ex- penditures in the land cflice and elsewhere, and have appointeda live man as Com- missioner of Agriculture and Trade. Such a man would find amjle employment, firat in directingthe energies our people to- wards the production of those things which will bring most money, and secondly in opening up the British and other markets, and gaining definite and particular information such as is required the

in

by shippers—thus giving people know'edge and confidence and enabling them to unite and co-operate upon the main things instead of disputing and wasting energy Over matters of secondary importance. A gleam of hope appeared yesterday when Premier Farquharson said that the Government would consider the advisapility of sending aman to England to gain information. But this was lost in the reflection that the measure proposed is but partial, and would neceesavily be ineffective, and that the Liberal party in in this Province contains no man able to do satisfactorily the work that is to be

done,

In this conuection, the remarke of Dr. Andersoa as to education are particularly appropriate. In Denmark, as the Dr. pointed out, the young men first become educated, and then they devoie the powers of their miads, so developed,te the develop- ment of the chief resource of their country, viz. agriculture. There educated agriculturists sit in Parliament and direct affairs, using the powers of the State to advance the interests of agriculture,—the conseqnence being that the products of little Denmark occupy the first place in the British markets, and Deamark stands high in the estimation of the world. But in Prince Edward Island which is, like Denmark, an agricultural country, we

they, for the most part,—the brightest and hest of them,—go to the States! That this Province has progressed in spite of the drain, is but a proof of the Bat greater our success would have been if we had proceeded on the lines followed Denmark |!

native how much

in

Cantain Yates epoketrathfully when he said that “ the British market is the most particular market in the world.” There. fore, if our farmers and merchants wish to succeed in the British market they must, above all things, be careful that the qual- itv of the produce they send to it is ex~ cellent. We know that this Island is ca - pable of producing beef, mutton and pork, cheese, butter and hay, apples and other fruits, horses, etc., all of the choicest quality. Better soil and climate are not found in any part of the world. If only we do,our parts as honestly and well as we can, the results must be satisfactory.

OUR RESPONSIBILITIES

In the course of a recent speech at Lind say, Ontario, the Hon. George E. Foster said that the citizens of Canada and of the Kmpire should recognize and feel their responsibilities. These responsibilities he classed under these heads :—‘‘First, we must hold fast to an absolute integrity.’ “Secoudly, we need an enlightened public

spirit.” “Thirdly, we ueed impreve— ments in political ideas, ” Pro- gress munet, he declared, be coo-

structed of moral and religious fibre; public spirit is its motive force; and high ileals ite guide, We have integrity, but we must hold fast to it. Ideals are begin~ ning to shape themeelves before us. But what we most need is an enlightened pubs lic apirit. This ie a real lack in Canada. We are but ‘poor men if we do not pre serve our heritage frem the past and trane- mit it intact and rtrengthened to our successo*s, Let every wen and woman be « politician, if oct « partisan. There are magnificent opportunities in Canada for public spirit, not only in national and provincial affairs, but in municipal mat- ters, Once you have an intelligent public spirit diffused through this country you have struck the knell of public corrup- tion.” These worde of Mr. Foster have the right ring. We hope that they will be heeded by all Canadians, particularly by the young mene

NUTES AND COMMENTS.

er

— Why were those stamped road orders from East Prince floating around in Dec- ember? The Patriot intimates that it is in & position to state the facts,—but it fde- clines todo so !;What,then, is the infer- ence ?

—It is understood that the Kaiser will visit King Humbert in Rome next spring, according to & promise made when em- barking at Venice for Palestine. The Kaiser will then inaugurate the Throne Room of the German Embassy, which has been sumptuourly decorated. Needless to say, the principal ornament is a full length portrait of Wilhelm II, of Germany.

— Referring tothe Provinciai Govern— ment’s connection with East Prince elec tion the Patriot says :'**There has not been the slightest deviation from the vroper procedure during the said election..? Will the Patiiot dare to say the p*rsonal can~ vass 0} @ Provincial Premier io a Dominion election is “proper procedure” in accord with the Liberal principl+ laid Cown bye McKenzie and Blake ? ;

—Lord Roberts has given his opinion as & military man concerning disarmament. He saye: “It would, no doubt, be eminent ly satisfactory if wecould make certain that war would never be required at all, and ifthe Tzar’s beautiful idea of genera! disarmament could be realised. But he confessed he did not see how sush an end could be attained until ali the nations of the world agr :d to rest content with what they had got; never to strive for anything more; to forwear the acquisition of ter ritory under any pretext or for any purpose whatever, either for tbe interests of come merce or their own aggrandisement; and to be satisfied with a'lowing the uncivilised parts ofthe world to remaio under the sway of brutal and barbarous gover- nment.”

ESTEEMED EXCHANGES.

Mail and Empire: Mr. Sifton struck a chilling frost in his visit tothe West. A banquet was to have been given at Bran- don; but it fai'ed to materialize. It was to have been a free affair. So many, how- ever, declined in attend that it was not thought adv'sable to proceed with it, In« stead of this function, a reception was held. It was very poorly attended, and chiefly by officials. Mr. Sifton received a highly complimentary address. But the address accompanied him to Brandon on the train.
