Our readers can form some idea of the progressive character of the City Council. from the rate at which lmprovcntenta are being cll‘cctcd on Queen Street -thc principal street of the Town. and the only one. as far as we are aware. which in being repaired at all. During: the poet week. there has been one man with a wheel- barrow employed on this street. and during; that time, he wheeled stone and clay enough to cover ton square feet. At this rate of progri-aalondt will take some four or five months to repair the atrcet as far as Queen's Wharf. Now. if we except Queen Street and Queen Square, We do not think that the City (‘ouueil can point- to any Improvements effected in the City for the past your.

We know that We have none oftbcac things—tth we have no pure water—and that no attempt has been mud..- to supply it. .\t the same time we have heavy taxes to pay, and there are no quarterly account» published, and no one seems to know where the money 3005.. What becomes ofit. - Will Councillor Laird tell us? Have the sweets 0f the city printing closed his eyes to these mattcramris a paltry grant of two or three hundred pounds to St. Dunstan‘s College of more importance than the thousands of pounds wrung front the poor of the city. and spent no one knows when. where orhow? A few spirited gentle- men. by the aid of private subacrlptlona. have done more to adorn and improve the Town than the whole Council put together. with their rerenuca at their luck. This way of managing buxincas cannot be allowed to (:0 on much long -r. From «and authority. we hear. that not» withstanding the‘hcavy and increasing taxes levied from the citizens. the Corporation is going in debt £700 or £800 a year! How long in thin going to lost? The atcum fire engine was Milled tho other day. and we mp. pose the Market lloime and Police Court will go next—— unless the citizens are prepared to pay five times we taxes they do now. Are they prepared for this? We fancy not; and if they are not. they nnut wake up and lualat that the Corporation be rcvlaed or abolished; for

at present we maintain that it la worse than useless. One emclent magistrate. with a clerk and four or five special constablesmould do more for one-third the money. than the preaent lame and expemdve organisation. We imagined that when Mr. Laird we» elected to the City Council. the reign of economy and reform would be in- .gnratcd. but we dad that we lmvebeen mistaken. Illa own-intercom and not those of the public. are what most concern him. At the present time. the Corporation is next thing to bankrupt. and. nulrma we are greatly Inla- lufbrmed, in naming Into t'ebt head over lwvls. Now. there are two or three things very evident. and about which the cltlzcna ahould concern themselves.

A peaceful withdrawal of Nova Scotia from the Dominion waa to have been proposed to Sir John. and in the event of his mum to ouch a policy, some definite line of ac. that was to have been adopted and submitted to the Loral Parliament. From Monday": papers we learn that no satisfactory arrangements could be come to with Sir John and bio colleaunesmlu fact that the latter had no power except to oflbr a 'l‘ew otllcca in the way of bribes to the Repeal leaders, who reject all each otlhrvt with scorn. The hostility of the Nova Sections to all overtures short of Repeal is manifested in a thousand diu‘erent ways. The papers are determined and delimit. and the people are ten times worse, even on the admin- alon ofavowed Unionists. The Canadian “('(‘il(‘llltll0l‘l.' as Sir John and bin friends are called. met with a frlgid reception on th. lr landing—not over a dozen persona being present on the wharf; and ‘llnllfux, the hoapltable.‘ as the eloquent Darcy hit-(lee styled it. for the llrstllmt- In her history. wraps heraelf up in an icy haubeur in the presence of the “ t’llal‘lilt‘l‘s." and declines to spread the festive board for them or to mingle with them in uoelnl

The Spartan fertilile and determination thus exhlblted commands our admiration. and we are at times inclined to believe. that any people. however numerically entail they may be, unlimited by such a spirit. cannot long be held in subjection. The patriotism of the people and their leaders: l4 above all praise: and their contemptuous rejection ufplacc and potvcmvhcn offered for the purpmc of diverting: them from the assertion of their rights. Is in bright central. to that hl‘fVllf' and mercenary apirli which characterisea too inanv politlcluna of the present day.

Leaving. however. lhnat' who have brought about the situation. for a con- eidcratlon of the situation itself. we see no way in which it can be clntngcd unless by an appeal to aruu. Soiuc of the repculcrs appear to think that the power of Great Britain will not be emp‘oyed to compel Nova r‘eolla to remain in the l'ulon—that the Mother Conn. try wishes to coerce none of her (‘olonlcs under a re- clluc or collatitutlon not agreeable or devlrnble tothctu. If this be tau—and We. very much doubt it—then Nova Scotiu might safelv take up arms to-morrow ln behalf of her rights. lint it u the consideration whether Great Britain will or will not nae force to compel an ac- ceptance of the situation that gives the l‘cpettlel‘fl pause. and bids them rather bear lbme ills they have than fly to other: they know not of. The clfuululi of blood would certainly be u very poor way to cement a union such its the Dominion of Canada lfl-lifll‘tlf‘i'f‘tl by ajcaleus and powerful tIclghbor~but if the Nova Scotlaua are de- tarmlncd to recover lhelrloat righta. they tints-t not cal- culatethnt they are going to get them by talking. They must be prepared to mncll gunpowder and face the allows. and if they have their courage screwed up to this atlv-kiilg.pnl..t. wcvcrv much doubt if they can accomplish a repeal of the liulou—nnd for the rezivona we gave a few numbers back—the certainty of the llrlllah Government putting forth all its power to main- luilt imperial thrills. the weakness of the Nova Scotluuu. and the lntprobabllltv ol'tbe Americum aidlu: them in the struggle. ’l‘ime. however. will shortly dcvelnpc these various issues. as the“ present crisis cannot long con. tlnuc.

Tin: l‘on'rr..\.\n Coxvnxnox, after a short Session ud- journcd without doing much towards fbrwatdiug Recl- proclty. The Provincial delegates had some trouble and withdrew from the convention. We are not aware whether the Inland delegate-a.~ "whose expenses (£75) the Island papers forgot. to tell their readers. were defrayed bv the Government«ware anion: thus.- who withdrew. We must await their own report to the Board of Trade upon that point. The only good likely to rosuit from the convention. apart from the intercourse of commer- cial men from lmlll sectiona. will be the cx‘caalon of rail- road communication lmtween the Provincea and the l'ullul Stall-a. Even this is an indirect advantage worth contending for. As free trade i< an all important. matter to the. people of this (Ulnar. we hope the Government will prove their competency for their position. by call- lng the Legislature together. to (‘Ollhl'lt‘l‘ lieu. llutier‘s pl'upn~llltlll.~t. without waiting to ascertain what the "anndlau or Imperial authorities think of the subject. We have a right to look after our own interests. and if they are opposed by these authentic-a. the conqunencc be theirs. Let us. at all evculs.‘ do our duty to the pew pie. After the return of the delegates, we shall refer to this again.
