MARCH 12, 1891 Bye-Elections.

Wr learn that the Provincial Govera- ment have,after due consideration, decided that there shall be elections only in the Dietricts for which there are vacancies in the Flouse of Assembly. This decision will please all who are tired of elections,— wud whe is not? Certainly the season is so far advanced that a general election would be inconvenient, however desirable.

The bye elections will take place on the nintht of Aoril next,— nominations on the sacond-—in Port Hill, East Point, Fort 4ugustas and Charlottetown.

The Tunnel.

— i

lv is to be feared that the politicians and people of the other Proviv.ces will accept the defeat of Senator Howlan and the gen- eval result of the election in this Province us proof that we do not want the tunnel. Such « conclusion would be erroneous, The electura of this Province were assured by the Opposition candidates that they and their party would do as much to promote the construction of the tunnel as the Con- servatices. Though this sesurance will not we worth anything, it is nevertheless a fact that those, or most of those, who voted for the Opposition candidates, believed it. So that the votes for both Tory and Cppositio candidates were votes fur thetoniel, Aa to the importance of the tuane!l, as to the importance of having the terms of union ip this regatd fulfilled, both parties in this Province are agreed.

Thie being so, we are pleased to learn fom Hom. Mr, Howlan that the struggle to obtaia the tunnel is to be continued. We shall not, indeed, desist, until the honor of Cunada has been vindicated and the tunnel is under construction. Men may come and wen may go, men may be elected or be re- jscte], but the project of the tunnel must be realized.

kt is hoped that the Board of Trade will, ws 2000 a4 the estimate of Sir Douglas Fox is obtained, carry out ita resolution in 1e- spect.to public meetings throughout the Provinee, called for the purpose of tunnel wgitation. It ia aleo hoped that an effort willbe made to induce the neighboring V’rovinees, by their Boards of ‘I'rade and their representatives in Parliament, to make common cause with the people of this Prov- suce ia respect to this matter.

We note, with pleasure, that Senator Prowse fia in accord with these views. flis letter, addressed to the editor of the (tuardian, is copied into this isaue of THr Ra AMINER.

Song O® The Election iz King’s County.

—

‘Tatu late contest in King's County shows what can be done by honest, untiring effort ; and the Liberal-Conservatives of — that chagaty are to be congratulated upon the erest PIQOLY they have won, The Grits left none “of their tactics untried. But their many schemes were unsuccessful. Lying misrepresentation, after all, is poor policy, end waually acts as a boomerang azainst those who practice it. What does the Patriot think of the ‘ undoubted authority” upon which it reported that the # Tories were routed at Cardigan and Pandas /' Just look at the polls at those places. Curdigan gave Macdonald 82, MeLean 77, Mclatyre 39, Robertson 38. Dundas gave Macdonald 109, McLean 120, Melntyre 75, Robertson 78. This does not look as though the Tories were routed at those places !

lo s'riking contrast to the Patriot's reports where those of Tne Examiner which came cat right every time.

Sarely the Patriot will, in future, try to get reliable men to send its news, and uot depeud on men whose business it is to represent everything as *‘all wool and a yard wide,” ao long as they think they can «sion anything by doing so.

Another thing is proven by the King’s Cowaty election, vie., the value of syatematio organization. Had Prince and ‘Jueen’s County had the same splendid or- ganization as King’s County, the Liberal- Conservatives there would not be lament- ing the loss of their candidates.

Now is the time for Prince and Queen's to organiza and prepare for the next election. lt is systematic work and not talking at meetings that wing the day.

Shortage of Fodder.

es

We regret to learn that a shortage of hay and straw, resulting from the short crops of jast year and the great severity of this winter, is likely to result in the starvation of many cattle, unless extraordinary measures are taken to obtain # supply of fodder for those farmers who stand in need of it. It has been suggested chat the Provincial Govern- ment might do well, under the circumstan- ces, if hay from abroad were obtained by it as soon a8 possible and sold on reasonable terns throughout the Province. Certainly, a apecial effort should be made at offes to obtein information as to the probable number of those who will be ‘‘ out of fodder” and the nécéasity which exists for a aupply from the Mainland.

Notes and Comments. oe | The Patriot declares that the electson | returns are ** quite bewildering.” Yes, the

Patriot is amazed. The Patriot would have

been in a clearer state of mind, and epjoy-

ed a quieter conscience, if it had at once | told the truth about the result of the elec- tion — W e learn that Hon. Cleo, W Howlan | is in receipt of telegram from Sir Douglas

Fox, in which it is stated that Mr. Pearson,

the Hudson Tuanel contractor, has arrived

in London. It is hoped that the estimate will soon be ready. Mr. Bain is now at Cape Traverse making some further exam- inations,

The Empire remarks :

‘« The wonderful victory in Winnipeg is not only a marked evidence of the popularity and ability of Mr. Hugh J. Macdonald, butis a gpecial tribute to the old chieftain himself. The increase of the majority from the 16 accorded Mr. W. B. Searth in 1887 to the immense tigure of 500, is a vivid illustration of the effect upon the city of Winnipeg and its prosperity which the continued maioten- ance of the National Policy has so effectually proved itself to have. ‘The entrepot of north western trade has evidently no intention of surrendering its present position as the centre f the commerce of that great and grow nz territory to the influence of St. Paul, Minnea- polis and other western American cities. The Winnipeg election is also another in the long list of the melancholy failures of the leading Grit organ to forecast resulte or to gauge public opinion. According to the G'obe for weeks past Mr. Macdonald had ‘no ‘ show” at all, aud Isaac Campbell was perf: etly sure of success from the beginning. The people of Winnipeg, however, thought other- wise, and the triumphant return of the Pre- mier's sonis an illustration of the elcotors continued confidence in himself, and of regard for Mr. Macdonald's abilities, which must be a source of much pleasure to Sir John Mac- donald.”

Races at the Rink. WILSGN WINS THE FIVE MILE CHAMPIORSNIP,

A large number of people assembled at che Hillsborough Rink last evening ‘o wit- neas tie races. The ice was not in very rood condition, and the time made was consequently, slow. The track measured fifteen laps to the mile. The five mile race for a suitable prize emblamatic «f the amateur championship of the Island, was, of course, the principal event. The Citizens Band was present and discoursed choice music during the cvening.

FIVE MILE RACE.

There were five sturtera in this race. Ib the draw for position, Messervey drew the inside, Earle, second; Davis, third; Large,

fourth, and Wilson on the outside. At exactly 8 1h the word *‘ go” was given In

the acramble for the Joad Earle and Large collided and fell, but were svon up again and away. For & few laps the skaters kept weil toyether. Ou the Gh lap Measervey fell and hurt his knee, and after 4 few laps retired. Earle at once took the lead, fol- lowed closely’by Wilson and Davies, with Large a few yards behind. In the 14th lap Davies’ skate came off, and he, too, was forced to give up. Wilson passed Earle and Jed at the end of the first mile. One mile, 3.50 Wilson held the lead throughout the second mile, with Earle at hie heels, and Large a short distance behind. There was no fast skating in this mile each holding himself in reserve for the last mile. Two miles, 12min. On the 4th lap of the Sed Earle secured the lead, and held it for s few laps. Three miles, 17 min. Wilson sgain went to the front and acted as pacemaker throughont the fourth mile, with Earle second, and Large about a third of a lap behind. Four miles, 21 min. This order was maintained for a few laps of the fifth mile, Large mace a grand spurt and came up the leader, and waa heartily cheered. Karle made an effort to go ahead at the third corner, but col- lided with the barre]. Wilson quickly took advantage of his opportunity, spurted and gained a third of a lap, which he gradually increased. Meanwhile Large had come up with Earle, and both worked hard for second lace. A few laps from home Large got & bad fall, bat soon regained hia feet. Ow- ing toa miatake, Earle stopped before he had covered his tive miles. Large covered the whole distance, and was awarded second place. Wilson, first, by half a lap; Large, second; Earle, third. Wilson certainly skated a fine race, and was enthusiastically cheered when he crossed the line a winner, Five miles, 27 min. POTATO RACE.

There were four entries for this event, viz , McGregor, Rogers, Haszard and Hob- kirk. After alively contest McGregor won, with Haszird second, and Rogers, third. ONE MILE BACKWARDS.

©. Weeks and T. James were the only contestants. Weeks set the pace at the start, but was passed by James on the 4th

lap. V/eeks tripped and fell in the eighth lap, and had to retire. James skated home in 4.30.

OBSTACLE RACE. Messervey, McGregor and James ap- peared for this event. The latter retired after three laps. Messervey won by about three-quarters of a lap. BOYS’ RACE, THREE MILES,

Four contestants appeared for this race : Newbery, Haszird, Hobkirk and Baynes. The former had it his own way from the start, and surprised the spectators by his speed. Atthe finish he had gained three laps on Baynes and two on the others. Hobkirk got second on a foul. Time, 16 min.

Wim. Weeks acted as starter and timer.

Arremprep Svuicipe.—Fred Bevan made an unsuccessful attempt to commit suicide by hanging early this mornieg. Shortly before two o'clock @ prisoner in a cell adjoining heard a noise in Bevan's cell, and suspecting that al! was not right gave the alarm. Assistant jailor McNeil, on entering the cell, found Bevan saspended by the neck from the iron bars inthe door. He had fastened a couple of towels together, and putting one end of the rope thus made about his neck jumped off his bed. The noise the other prisoner heard was made by Bevan’s knees striking the cell door, When Mr. McNeil took Bevan down he was unconscious, and he at once summoned the jail physician, Dr. S. R. Jenkins, who applied restoratives To-day Bevan is all right, but is very dee- pondent, and will hardly speak to any person,

eam nat ome LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. Senator Prowse on the Tunnel.

Sim,—As the political contest is now over and the intense party feeling rapid'y sub- siding, many of the electors of this Island are no doubt seriously considering what the people of this Province have gained or lost by the contest, and what the outcome will be so far as the tunnel is concerned. | do not think the advoontes of the tunnel have any cause to be discouraged by the result of the contest. It must now be admitted that had any one of the six menibers-elect refused to pledge himself in favor of the tunnel he would not have had the shadow of a chance of being elected. We have therefore, all our members pledged to sup- port and advocate the construction of a tunnel ; and what ie of equal, if not gieater importance, we have the pledge of the leaders of both political parties in favor of it, if found practicable and the cost of con- struction at all reasonable, and also the promise of Sir Charles Tupper’s influence in favor of ** that important and necsssary work.”

Should the estimate of Sir Douglas Fox be within any reasonable sum, the Govern- ment is in honor bound to proceed with the work, and should it be opposed by the Re- form Party they may make up their minds to do without any supporters from this Province for a longtime tocome. It ap- pears to me that neither can very well afford to ignore our claims. We certainly are in a much better position than we were under the late Parliament to press our rights, and the party that opposes them need not expect any support from this Is- land for many years to come

But while our prospects are encouraging, our people must show themselves in earn- est, and make it the great question of the day by aunited and vigorons effort, and show that we are prepared to sink every other consideration, even party ties if ne- cessary, to obtain the fulfilment of the

terms of union. I was much pleased to notice, some few weeks ago, that the Charulttetown Board of

R

_TH

Trade had taken up this question in a thor- ough business way and proposed @ general agitation of the question. Ido not think it eould be entrusted to better hands. The Board is composed of. leading business men of both political parties who perfectly un derstand the value of such a highway fcr this Province. I would therefore respect- fully suggest that the Board of Trade re- sume the consideration of the question st ones, and make arrangements to hold meetings in every section of the Island, aid have uniform resolutions passed at each inseting, awd 8 common memorial signed by every elector-in the Province, and such tae- morial to be presented to Government by a delegation from the Board.of Trade as soon as possible, 1 would also suggest that at every meeting,held throughout the Province to consider the question of a tunnel, n» other political or party question be discuss- ed or introduced to the end that perfect unanimity may prevail.

la closing, permit me to express the hope that the Guardian, as well as every hews- paper published on this Island, will prove true guardians of our Island home by ad- vocating the work separate and apart from every other political question, so that all piuties may be able to unite in forwarding a woik of the greatest possible importance to Prince Edward Islard.

Extract from a Private Letter to Beer Bros, — , from their Buyer. ia

Lonpox —— 3 “a Since my arrival here from Paris, I find that al} the important Spring Novelties are to hand, and I wish to giye you some idea of the present fashions. rie In Hats and Bonnets the styles have undergone sugh g- change that it is quite difficult to decide whether or not our - ladies: will adopt the extreme styles now in vogue,” Jatg — are simply plates of straw, with the edges crimped in every - ce neeivable conceit, whilst the Bounets cunsist of a hole wi ie a few bits of wire and some light material, such as tulle or crepe, puffed or shirred. There seems to @ almost an im. bridgeable chasm between last year’s stylhand the present, and the taste of our ladies will have to “ rise” accordi | if they wish to wear the newest things. 1 have been ‘gna: cessful in securing quite a number of first-class model Hat avd Bonnets which ought to interest every lady in Chan lottetown Tliey have Leen bought at the right place, | the right price, and should sell right smart. Long > will not be used much this summer, Tips in bunches three or more I found to be immensely used in Paris, ap the same idea is just coming in favor here (London), The are placed on the back of all teques and on the front of © cepotes,-and everywhere on bonnets. The season will be one of laca and flowers, with a good dash of fancy ribbons, Small flowers, such as heath, lily of the valley, lilacs, ete are the favorites, with roses and rose ae lower-pric goods. Poppies also remain good, As re color, it gold everywhere and in everything gold-colored vel gold tips, gold passementeries, gold tinsel, tinsel ribbons, The demand fr m New York for these go ds has been = nominal. It is sure to be a great Millinery season, and Bonnets made from frames almost taking the lead of straw. Tle styles of trimming have so materially chang that I do not think there is a Milliner in Charloitetow who will be ecmpetent to undertake the best work and make it up as it should be without first visiting some large centr such as Boston or New York; and | would recommend that we send our Miss A—— to one of these places at once, before taking charg? of our Millinery Department in: the spring.
