LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

_— ——

A Stranger Lost on the Island.

Srr,—Here is a matter that concerns us all. <A stranger visiting the Island, passing through the country and admiring its beauties and loveliness throughout the summer gets lost on the public highways and asks where are the mile posts.

Observing that the roads are obscured by snow in winter he asks the same question.

Arriving from Charlottetown at the Sea- side Hotel in the month of August, he finds from the guessing by all the experts there that he has travelled thirty-six instead of the eighteen miles he should have travelled, and asks what has become of the mile posts. Starting out again and again to see the Island in different directions from its chief city he again and again gets lost.

No one can tell him what has become of the mile posts. Few seem to know what that means. No one knows the distances, All tell him that the natives themselves are continually getting lost on their own high- ways. ‘The most intelligent tell him that they never thought of mile posts and their importance before.

Finally he meets an old citizen who had travelled and asks him about the mile posts, and is informed by him that no such thing ever existed on the Island. Whereupon the stranger gives it as his opinion that no other christian civilization on the globe can boast that its Government has never erected mile posts marked with pointers and distances to inform and direct its own citizens and then leaves the Island.

NEWFOUNDLAND.

Union With Canada.

BOWERS IN OPPOSITION.

The Movement Likely to be Successful.

Hauirax, March 20,

A St. John’s Nfld., cable to the Herald says that Right Rev. Dr. Power, Roman Catholic bishop of St. John’s, has declared in favor of Confederation — with Canada. The Colonist, which is the only newspaper opponent to Confederation, is appealing to class and race prejudice. Its editor, (Mr. Bowers) sprang an anti-union resolution before a smal]] portion of the Irish Society, which has created a bad feeling. Mr. Kent, President of the Society and a leading Irishman in the Colony, isa strong adyvo- cate of union and repudiates Bowers’ con- duct. The majority of the Legislature favor sending a delegation to Ottawa.

AN EXPLANATION.

Tne Mayor of New York on the Flag Question.

New York, March 20.

Mayor Hewell sent to the Aldermen to- day a letter explanatory of his action in refusing to permit the Irish flag to be jraised over the City Hall on St. Patrick’s | Day. The Mayor makes a_ long, careful ‘and very deep analysis of the ethics as well as the law of the subject, fand concludes that the danger line |is reached, ‘“‘where we must decide: if | native or foreign ideas are tu rule’ the city.” He says as it is a parbof the Irish demand for Home Rule, that the Irish should rule ‘Ireland, so they should concéde the right of | Americans to rule America. He “calls at- tention to the fact that under the action of Congress all foreign born citizens have equal rights under the law with native bérn American, and it would be manifestly wrong ‘for a public otticer to recognize one foreign nation more than anothor.

DOMINION PARLUAMENT

UNRESFRICTED RECIPROCITY.

THE B:BATE CONTINUED.

Orrawa, March 20. In the Commons, — Rinfret resumed the debate on the reci- procity question. Speaking in favor of Sir Richard Oartwright’s resolution.

Mr. Gigault replied, opposing the resolution. He showed that the Na- tional Policy had developed the manufacturing towns, which in turn had

made large demands upon the agricultural districts for supplies. He was in favor of reciprocity in natural products, but the loss of the home market, occasioned by reciprocity, would not be compensated by the increased market for agricultural] pro- ducts in the United States.

Mr. McDonald (Huron) followed, quot- ing from Sir John Macdonald’s speeches in 1877, in which the Premier deelared that | they proposed to adopt the National Policy }in order to obtain free trade with the United States. Resuming, after recess, Mr. McDcnald contended that the United | States furmed a natural and most profitable market, and that the Government had refused to carry out their standing offer of reciprocity in natural products.

Mr. Brown, of Hamilton, followed. He made one of the most practical speeches of the session, reading quotations from letter after letter,and telegramfafter telegram from the leading industrial establishments of the country, setting forth the disastrous results which must accrue to the commercial and industrial interests of Canada if such a radical scheme is consummated:

Mr. Choquette, of Montmorency, fol- lowed in French, quoting from an address delivered by Sir George Cartier, shortly before his death against high customs tax- ation and in favor of reciprocity.

Mr. Wood (Westmoreland) followed with one of tho most excellent speeches of the session. In clear and logical _arguments he revealed the many failures

underlying the arguments of the opposition, avd contended that the scheme, in its pre- sent form, would never be accepted by the Un ted States, as it would direct American ‘impoitations through Canadian channels; | nor would Canada accept the scheme of a cu toms union which would divert Canadian trade to American cities, destroying the identity of Canadian industry and com- m.rce, and inevitably lead to separation from Great Britain.

Mr. Sproule moved the adjournmen: of the debate, and the House adjourned at one o'clock,
