offensive sense : it was not

Chat Mr. Laird would try to inflict a stigma upon the mass of the people of this Province is not probable ; nor is it probable that he, a farmer, would wantonly insult his fellow farmers. In point of fact, he referred to the high in- telligence of our farming population and to the information of which they are careful

to possess themselves concerning pohi-

tics and other interesting topics, acdinitting, nevertheless, that as a class they are densely ignorant

concerning the principles which govern the production of crops and herds, and that count the cost

We incline to the belief that the delay at Cape Tormentine is due to ** the failure of

3l i4 Inthe evening the visitors were enter- tained by the Home Club with a dinner at the Davies, which passed off very pleasant- ly. After ample justice had been done the good things provided, and the usual toast to the Queen had been drank, the Pre- sident proposed ‘* The Visitors,” to which ina neat

toast Mr. Primrose responded speech. Mr. Primrose isan enthusiastic admirer of the game of curling. He

claimed that there was no winter sport equal to it, as it afforded, when played properly, not only exercise and recreation for the body but acted as a stimulus to the mind.

Rey. Mr. Carruthers, Chaplain of the Club, R. R. Fitzgerald, Esq., T. C. James, J. R. Davies, (Pictou), H. C. McDonald, W. A. Weeks, jr., and others also spoke in favor of the game, and of the great benefit derived from these friendly meetings and contests of skill and judgment.

Mr. F. H. Beer added to the pleasure of the evening with a song, ‘' The Newfound- land Dog,” and Mr. Alex. McKinnon sang ‘‘ Bonnie Prince Charlie” with great spirit. The visiting team will leave for home this

he still doubts, he may take out his rule and measure and calculate the distance, ac- cording to the scale laid down. If not yet fully satisfied, let him go to the Capes and mesure the distance himself,—~1s the Gov- ermment Engineers, who made the survey, have done.

[t is & great pity that so much misappre- heasion should prevail about the Subway scheme ; misapprehension born of ignor- snce is, we are convinced, at the bottom of the opposition to it. But if men will neither believe the words of qualified engineers, nortake pains to find out for themselves, there must needs be misappre- liension ! that our dent is perfectly sincers when—in contra- diction of Walter Shanley and other emi- nent eivil engineers—he calls the Subway scheine **a folly.” So was Mr. Mackenzie sincere when he said that it would exhaust the resources of the British Empire to build : at the northof Lake Superior aut through the Rocky Mountains. But the Guyernment of Canada, took the advice of their engineers, did what the honer of Canada demanded in respect to the terms of union with British Columbia, and proved that Mr. Mackenzie's fears were ill-founded. They will do well if

they act in like manner with respect to

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. —--—> The Subway Scheme.

Sin,—In your issue of the 9th ult., you were pleased to lay before the public ‘SA Section of Northumberland Strait on the line of proposed Subway.”

! have to observe, according to this sur- rey the distance across the strait is laid jown as some two miles less than it was hought to be. It is pleasing to be informed hat we are so much nearer the mainland han we supposed. But to be fully assured f its authenticity it would have been more vonvincing had it been accompanied with the signature ot the surveyor. It reminds me of an incident that occurred at the bank a short time ago, viz.: A person presented a check that was disallowed, because it wanted the drawer’s name. I regret to say I have not at hand a map of the strait as laid down by Admiral Bayfie'd in his sur- vey, because it would be satisfactory to compare it with this recent survey —possibly the strait may have narrowed up by some arrangement of nature duringthe interim of the surveys.

I trust you will pardon me for differing with you on several points in the article ac- companying the sketch of the survey. In the first place, I don’t agree with the writer in a condemnation of the Government in relation to the non-fulfillment of the terms of Confederation. On the contrary, I be- lieve it has done as much and effected more towards a continuous communication with the Intercolonial railway than was expected by our plenipotentaries or the public at

Prince Edward Island.

But our correspondent actually thinks that the Government have effected ‘* more towards 4 continuous communication with the Idtercolonial Railway than was expect- ed by our plenipotentiaries or the public at the time the contract was entered into.’ We veature the opinion that he is abso- lutely singular in this respect. Our vleni- poleataries and the Government agree 1 that, as one of the conditions of the Umon

{ Prince Edward Island and Canada, the Government of Canada should provide —

Our correspoudent’s opinion is not, it

Wibl readily. be seen, in wceord With the facts

the time the contract was entered into. The incessant cry that has been kept up in relation to this subject is, in my opinion, without foundation. It has had the tend- ency of causing us to appear unreasonable and ridiculous in the minds of Canadians well-informed as to what the Government have really and truly effected towards oarry- ing out the terms referred to.

it cannot be contradicted that the rail- vay lines of communication are extended to Cape Traverse, and on the other side to Cape Tormentine with the view of connect- ing these lines by steamboats plying the water between these headlands, and that considerable sums of money were about being laid out on the build

ing of piers and harbors on either side for the accommodation and __ pro-

Now, while these piers were proceeding towards construction, the subway scheme was started. The press of the Island, Tory wnd Liberal, encouraged it; public meetings endorsed it. The construction of the machinery for effecting it was extolled, it was incomprehensible to ordinary minds aud more valued by the ignorant because of its mysterious character and because some engineers picked up in the United States said the scheme was feasible.

So the public was ledto think all that was wanted was sowe five million of dollars and that the Government were bound in honor, under the Act ot Coufederation, to
