We think this subject is worthy of consideration by the Post Master Gen- eral, to see ifsome plan cannot be adoptâ€" ed to do away with the present mode of opening private communications and the contents becoming known to those whose eyes never should have been allowed to glance over the contents of. perhaps a letter ofa husband to a wife or of a: lover to his sweetâ€"heart. [3 there any of our men in business who have not suffered at sometime or other from letters being sent to the Dead Letter Office, consequent on not, being sufficiently stamped ? Let them for the future have their name and address printed on the envelope and it will save them inconvenience, time, and money. We are prepared to attend to the wanteof‘any of our friends in this respect. The fact is our fisheries are a source of immense value to the Dominion, and, no donbt,Sir Charles Tupper before onâ€" tering upon the duties to which he has been lately appointed, will take the opâ€" portunity of ascertaining the relative values of the catch of fish during the past season and the years in which we gave no protection to our fiisheries. It is all very well for parties to write articles about Commercial Union with the United States, articles that are both vague and meaningless. In many instances they know not of what they write, in fact some of them have so much education that to descend to practical questions of trade seems to be a matter of impossibility with them. They write upon trade and navigation with a glib- ness that .is certainly surprising when we come to consider they have never had the opportunity of comparing a mackerel with a herring or a bake with a cod, and we question much with all their educa- tion if they know how many fins the ‘latter has. We believe the majority of the people of the Lower Provinces would vote against 0. U. if put to vote. A correspondent of the Montreal Wit- ness calls attention to the practice of opening letters that are sent to the Dead Letter Department at Ottawa, and suggests that some other means should be devised less objectionable than the breaking Open of private correspondence by the clerks at the Dead Letter Deâ€" partment. I t does indeed appear a very serious matter, and we think some other plan could be adoptedâ€"without any loss being incurred to the revenueâ€"by the Department, than the way things are now done. We believe the way in Eng- land is to forward and collect the postâ€" age from the address on the letter. Another way is to have the name and address of the sender on a corner of the envelope, and in such cases the letters are not opened but returned to the post office where mailed, for short postage. ‘ The mackerel taken this year 011‘ P. E. Island is said to surpass anything of the kind taken during the last forty years, and if the same protection is granted to the fisheries in the future that has been given during the past sea- son, we should not be surprised to learn that the Americans will be willing to ask for a renewal of the Reciprocity Treaty that they so unceremoniously kicked over when the time for which it had to run ceased.

During the last session of Parliament Sir Charles Tupper was accused of shirking the vote on the prohibition isâ€"‘ sue that was brought before the House. He writes a letter to the Halifax Herald in the following words, which are cerâ€" tainly decided and should be satisfactory to our temperance friends who too often can see no good thing in the Tory camp‘ upon this most important subject: “ ‘ had previously stated to Sir John A. Macdonald and to my colleagues that 1‘ intended to vote with the friends of; temperance and prohibition, and I regret extremely that I was prevented, by severe indisposition, from having an opâ€" portunity of recording my vote on that occasion. I regard the suppression of intemperanoe by every possible means as so vitally important that I had no hesiâ€" tation in pledging myself to sustain whatever measures were introduced in Parliament calculated to attain that end, and I do not hesitate to say that if reâ€" turned as arepresentative of Cumberland the friends of temperance and prohibiâ€" tion may confidently rely upon all the aid I am able to give them in carrying out their principles. I may add that should the time come when 1 am unable to support in Parliament the wishes of ‘the friends of temperance I will resign my seat and give them an opportunity of electing my successor.” Osterviile is still clouded in mystery.

To the Editor of the Herald .- Conscious of having a good case, handled by able men,and supported by the British Government and British Commis- sioner, Canadians ought not to be deg-- pondent or suspicious of the result, even though soreheaded journalists of The Globe and Mail stamp are prepared to give our case away at the very startâ€" indeed. their whole course is suggestive of the idea that they would hail with delight a failure to realize our contenâ€" tion in the premises.â€"â€" World.

Sir Charles Tupper, Minister of Fiâ€" nance, is to be the Canadian Commisâ€" sioner at the coming convention to settle the fisheries dispute between our neigh~» bots and ourselves. He will be assisted by Hon. Mr. Foster, and Hon. Mr. Thompson, Canadian Minister of Marine and Fisheries and Canadian Minister of Justice, respectively. All of them are maritimes, the Commissioner and the Minister of Justice being Nova Scotians, the Minister of Fisheries a New Brunswicker. The three are able men, thoroughly cognizant of the quesâ€" tion in all its Canadian bearings, and possess the confidence of the Maritime Provinces. The people of these provinces will not, therefore, be able to say that their case was not understood by the men handling it. or that outsiders were allowed to manage it for them. Sir John Macdonald, if not present at the deliberations of the commission. will at least watch things very closely from Ottawa, and advise with his colleagues at Washington on every turn that the proceedings may take.

DEAR Sm,â€"â€"In your issue of three weeks ago I notice a letter signed Q. and entitled "’ An Historical Event.” Some people, at least, would not require to go to the sphinx to solve the riddle. The moral to be drawn I suppose is that unâ€" less the people of Richmond Hill set enâ€" ergetically to work to get the railroad it will some few years hence be comparable to that ancientEastern city.” That 1nâ€" action is coming with his trainâ€"pity it wasn’t the right kind of trainâ€"or perâ€" haps Giant. Indifference with his, and will destroy all the business which is the same as destroying the village of this miniature city. Then she will no longer have any business position higher than that of the country around her. When trade goes of course the places will beâ€" come deserted and weeds will grow in the once fair gardens, the houses will fall to pieces and it will indeed be diffâ€" erent from what it “ might have been.” But surely the men of this village will never allow the above to happen. A Radical Change. “ I had got so bad with dyspepsia that I hardly cared whether I lived or not,” says Frank A. Swain, of the Toronto Globe Office.

A special meeting: of the Directors and friends of the Richmond Hill Mechanics’ Institute was held in the Lecture Room of the Masonic Hall, on Friday evening, October 14th, 1887. It was therefore with deep regret that we learneda, short time since of your intention to remove to a. more genial clime than that of Cunndu; and our regret was much intensified when we understood that the delicate state 01 Mrs Littcll's health was the principal reason of your proposed removal. But, as she is now somewhat stronger, we cannot but hope that you may remain sometime longer in the Parish ; and that such may be the case we pray very earnestly to_tue All-wise em} All-loving Father. The minutes of last meeting were read, and, on mot-ion sustained. Besides the Directors present were Messrs. W. Harrison, '1‘. H. Redditt, Alex. McKenzie, J. A. E. Swilzer, J. Sanderson and Alex.

In every possible way you have Worked for the Church’s prosperity; and in regular attendance at all her services you have set an admirable example.

Nasal Balm is a specific for cold in the bead and ' cuturrli, and having mm and evidence that it will cure those traumas, we ask and court a fair trial of the discovery, and a. full investigation at 1 their hands, I SIR,â€"â€"We are continually being told by Grit journals that our public debt is increasing. Such is not the case. While the C. P. R. was in the course ‘of building, the debt was increased to the extent of the amount which the country agreed to give towards it. But this work having been finished, the debt has stopped increasing, because there is no more need for borrowing. The cur- rent income does more than keep pace with current outlay. As amatter of fact. the debt of Canada is less today than it was a year ago. On June 30. 1886,the total liabilities of the Dominion were $273,164,341 ; they are now $273,029,562. In June of last year the net debt was $223,159.107; it is now $228,494,462, an increase of about five millions; but in that period there has been expended upon capital account more than ten million dollars. The debt of' the country does not show much variation, save in the direction of a lesser burden. No expenditures requiring new and large loans are now in view. The money that has been spent is acâ€" knowledged to have been spent well. The incidence of taxation arising there- from is a light matter, and intelligent people infinitely prefer to have the rail- ‘ way and the debt than the old condition of' things. The whole of the public debt‘ has been created for work of public util- ; ity, directly promoting the wealth and prosperity of the people. The Canadian Pacific and Intercolonial Railway andl the canal expenditures represent the whole of the increase in the debt sincel Confederation, and the burden of the debt. Oct. 10th, 1887.
