watching the daily and

nightly battle between the Carferry steamer and the exceptionally heavy ice we must not lose sight of the fact that we have only one steamer to carry on this unequal fight and that any day we may find ourselves isolated from the outside worldwith no mails, no lpassenger travel and no necessary supplies.

The work done by the Carferry steamer this winter has been nothing short of marvellous; she has ibeen doing the practically ‘impossible daily for sev- _ ' ieral weeks and Captain Read, who has eliminated the

{word “impossible” froln his vocabulary, deserves and

is receiving unstinted praise.

Yet the impossible,

'even to Captain Read, is continually before us and lisolation is not only a possibility but a probability. -ln any case the steamer, after pounding almost im- penetrable ice for weeks at a time, will require an {overhauling which may take weeks and then again lwe shall be confronted with isolation-

In view of these facts the urgent need of a second ‘steamer should be persistently Pressed upon the

railway authorities and the government.

It isa

matter of almost life and death to this province and

;there should be no rest or let up until the second isteamer is on the stocks with an assurance that she {will be ready for next winters work. ' i

ldoubt be carried out. But our necessity is too urgent ;to be passed over because of the need of curtailment lof expenditure: it is to avoid expenditure and loss ‘ that the ste-amer is required and this must be pressed

N o1":

The Patriot gives prominence to a letter advo-

cating‘ an increase in the Premiers salary; Whatis

zthe matter with giving the Attorney General also an increase? During the past regime these two oﬂices were amalgamated and the two salaries were combin-_ ed. Under the Bell regime however there were so many aspirants for office that amalgamation was out of the question. Now the divided salary is inadequate and the faithful, probably inspired, are advocating’

an increase.

Well perhaps it can be worked on the Premier and, if on him, the Attorney General will have an equal claim and his turn will come IaterL-if the gov- ernment survives the tempest already threatening. It will be remembered"that-during the last session Mr- Bell, then leader of the Opposition, in demonstra- ting the fact that the then government had suffic- ient; funds for all its requirements, provided they

practised reasonable economy, ing retrenchments among many others;

advocated the follow-

of salary of Clerk of the Executive by $300; aboli- tion of_ the Managers salary in the School Supply, $1200; reduction of the draughtsman and engineer's salary, Public Works Department, by $150. Here is a matter of $1650 zlvziilable for addition to Mr. BelPs salary provided he keeps his pre-election promises and provided also the Attorney General is satisfied

to wait. _ It will be interesting

to watch the evolution of

Premier Bell’s salary from its present attenuated

dimensions to what it may be if all goes well with

the financiers.

Uniformity either in the observance or in the violation of the city bye-laws on the cleaning of side-

Observance of law is not usually a cause of com- plaint but as the habitual offenders persist in refus-
