Notes and Comments.

a Toronto Empire : Mr. Davies, M. P.,

E is an example of the tongue runping away with the man. city offer of 1874 involved discrimination against Great Britain he gives the lie direct to the late Hon. George Brown, whe sald in the Senate, March 8, 1872: °° [It was nertectly understood from the opening of the negotiations that no article could be free from duty in regard to the United States that was not free with regard to Great Britain, and nothing else was ever contem plated fora ment.” The late Mr. Brown carried much more weight with the Liberal party than Mr. Davies does or ever will do, and his word goes a good deal further, tvo,

— According to the Dublin Farmers’ Gazette, which is regarded as an exc lent authority, the harvest outlook in Ireland is very favorable. In the four provinces ratus have done some harm and probably the crops will be a little late, but. all over wheat, oats and barley promise well. Potatoes in the west and south, where the appearance of the blight is the omen of distress, are doing well this year and pro- mise over an average return. Only in one district in Kerry has a slight failure been reported. Inthe western part of West Cork, where much distress prevailed dur- ing the past winter, there will bo gvod crops generally and an abundant yield of potatoes.

—Halifax Herald ; A good many people have doubtless been surprised at the unfair and angry tone of the Montreal Star, in all its recent discussions of the situation at Ottawa. The change in its tone took place about the time of the reconstruction of the Government under Mr. Abbott Before that it was uniformly fair, andsome times decidedly favorable to the Govern- ment. Since then it has been pejulant, and grossly unfair. The explanation is foand in the fact of an old personal feud between the proprietor of the Star and Hon, Mr. Abbott. Itdates back to the time Mr, Abbott was Mayor of Montreal. Some slight, real or imaginary, was then put upon the Star, which it seems never to have turgotten or iorgiven.

-The criticism of the Pops’s last en- cyclical in the Italian press has been, on the whole, extremely favorable. Sven the anti-clerical papers have not refrained from recognizing the humane thoughtfulness of the Papal solution of the great problem of our time. Prof. Boughi says that it gives evidence of a noble soul and a lofty in- tellect; Prof. Grazini, that His Holiness has grasped the true significance of the labor question. He recalls the former utterances of the papal chair against the democracy of the age and welcomes the encyclical as an acknowledgment of the good that exists in liberal institutions. Altogether it is accepted as the utterance of a peacemaker,of a well-wisher to human- ity, of a high priest who has not forgotten that he isa man and that what is most diviue in christianity is its sympathy with humanity.

--The Home Government's reported acquiescence in the plan of allowing United States cattle to pass thruugh Canada for slaughter and export is a boon that will be received with some misgivings. Canada, it is known, is free from the pleuro-pneumonia British stock raisers so much dread, and can readi.y be kept so. The United States, there 1s good reason for believing, is not so happily situated, though the West, from which the cattle are expected to come, is doubtless unaffected by the disease. Canada, however, can exercise no control over the conditions of the herds of the Western States, and should an outbreak in Chicego, where the disease was not long ago, be followed by one in the bonded district in Canada, then farewell to the advantages Cunadian cattle now enjoy in the British markets, The British agriculturists, always watching the foreign cattle trade with a jealous eye, would have a ground of complaint against Canada, which nothing that could be said on this side the water would remove,

—The Montreal Witness (Grit) in an at- tempted panegyric on Mr. Laurier, lets fall the following suggestive sentence :—

‘Only one thing will stand in the way of his advancement, and that is the suspicion or fear that he will be under the influence or within the power of Mr. Mercier, whose course in this province leads independent minded men to fear what may take place at Ottawa should Mr. Laurier become pre- mier, and Mr. Mercier seek to exercise undue influence over the administration, backed up as he undoubtedly is by a large section of the people of this province.”

Commenting vpon this statement the Halifax Herald says :—

“The ‘indepandent minded men’ have good grounds for that fear. Mr. Laurier is mere clay in Mr. Mercier’s hands. Has he not already been compelied to endorse Mercier’s proposed raid on the Dominion treasury? And nothing is surer than that with Laurier for premier ‘the vultures that sit oa the rock of Quebec’ would descend on the Dominion and gorge themselves to their full capacity. A Laurier regime would be merely a Mercier-Pacaud-Lange- lier-O, E. Murphy regime enlarged.

—Pauperism, says an exchange, is a dis- ease of civilization, which follows it in the desert waste asic is epidemic in the city full. Western Australia has a population of less thau 50,000. Its area is estimated at 975,920 English square miles. Perth, the capital and largest city in the colony, has less than 11,000 inhabitants. Yet it has two poor houses, with nearly 200 inmates, supported out of the public funds. There are also two Protestant and two Roman Catholic orphanages, supported partly by private subscriptions, partly by public money, and the daily average of paupers in the colony is more than 400. There is evidently something wrong about & sta*e of society which yields such results. It is not, we need hardly say, confined to

, Western Australia, as we know by our own |

experience and by the condition of things in tue United States. But ‘Western Aus- tralia, with its vast area and small popula- tion, brings out very glaringly the tact that wealth ia land is of little avail to prevent pauperism, so long as the thriftless..

the-e is ample room for them.

Letter from Hon. B. Davies.

Dear Srr,—As Chairman of the meeting |

of citizens, called together last night by

the authority of the Mayor to consider the

Act passed by the Legislature annulling the present franchise of the wards, | had a few words to say after leaving the chair— which | was prevented from saying by the latepess of the hour and the immediate dispersal of the assembly.

I have, therefore, tu ask of you the favor of publishing my opinion en the subject.

In the first place [ have to sy it appears to me the action of the House of Assembly was premature and uncalled for in this matter, inasmuch as that the citizens gen erally are perfectly satistied with the con- stitution of the Council] as well as with the ability which the city affsirs have been dis- charged for the last few years.

Secondly.—That they treated the Mayor and City Council with disrespect when they took on themselves to disfranchise certain Wards and add to the representation of others, without the sanction of the Council or the consent of the citizens.

Thirdly.—That the animus of the bill is to place the holders of property, on the value of which the taxes are raised, at the mercy of men who contribute only a dollar a head towards the city funds.

I would say in reply to the Honorable Mr. Farquharson’s defence of the legis- lature founded on the plea that the bill is just because it is based on the population of the wards that his argument does not apply.

lf the Town Council had the power to makeand carry out lawslikethe legislature his reasoning might apply, but the duties of the Mayor and Town Council extend little further than the power granted them to tax real estate and to expend the money raised therefrom for the necesssities of the city. The corporation is also a subordinate power to the government. Besides this whep we consider that every man in the city, from the beggar to the Governor, hasa vote in

choosing the councilmen under the present

C rporation Act, his argument appears to me to be not only futile but unbecoming a gentleman in his position.

Before closing, I would remark on the statement made in reply to the cause of Mr. Haszard’s advocacy of the bill or law, was, I thought, unkind and uncalled for— although I have no doubt he would not refuse the duty of compiling the city laws

under the future council—if paid in the same ratio the Government are contributing for

the same service. Beno. Davies. Aug 8, 1891.

Letter from Councillor morris. Sir.—Asit has been industriously re- ported by the enemies of the present majority in the City Council that sums of money are being expended on the streets for macadamizing, for pulitical purposes, I addressed the following letter to the Clerk of the City Council, asking him for a _ re- tucn of the amount of money placed in the estimates fur the present year for macadam- izing the streets, and how much of said amount has been exp:nded up to 7th Aug,, instant. Tuomas Morris.

H. M. Davison, Esq , City Clerk ;—

Srr,—Will you kindly state for the infor- mation of the taxpayers of the City, what amount was placed in the Estimates of Expenditure fur the City Council, for 189i, for macadainiz‘ng purposes, and what portion of that sum has been expended up to 7th August, inst.

Tnos. Morris, Chairman Finance Committee,

Tros. Morris, Esq, Chairman Finance

Committee.

Deak Sitr,—For your information I may state that the amount placed in the Estimates of the City of Charlottetown for the year 1891, for macadamizing purposes, was five thousand five hundred do lars ($5,500.00) Of that amount, there has been expended up to August 7th, instant, the sum of three thousand and forty-nine doilars and fifty-two cents ($3,949 52), leaving a balance of two thousand four hundred and fifty dollars and forty-eight ceuts ($2,450.48) to credit of estimate and unexpended.

.>+ <—- «> Dairy Farming.

Sir,—An interesting and influential meet- ing of the farmers, their wives and daugh- ters, met in New Glasgow hall on Monday evening, the 3rd August inst., when Prof, John Robertson, of the Experimental Farm, Ottawa, addressed them on dairy farminy and its advantages over the general mode of farming at present followed in this province. The learned Professor dealt very fully with the subject in its various forms, showing most conclusively the

} advantages to be gained by adopting the

co-operative system of establishing cheese factories and creameries, now so generally in operation in Western Ontario. He said he had never seen better appearance of an oat crop than he had in travelling through our province on this occasion, and the ex- tensive and magnificent fields of potatoes he had seen, could not be excelled in any country. The puzzle to him was what we were going to do with the crop we should harvest. He also said that our Island, or that portion of it he had seen, is well adapt ed to dairy farming, equal to and surpassing many parts of Ontario where such farming is being extensively prosecuted. The gains financially to our farmers from the manu- facture of the raw materials grown on the farm through the use of the machine, the cow, in changing the product into cheese and butter; the placing it on the market at a small cost: and the return back to the farm of what had been drawu from it in the shape of manures made on the farm, were so Vividly and! forcibly put by the lecturer that i: drew | forth expressions of applause and Satisfaction

| from the whole audienee,

Addressiag the ladies present, the Professor gave explanations, hints, aad instructions as to the best mode of making butter, the time and manner the milk should be set to cream for best resu'ts, the manner and management of the cream, its tipeness for churning and how it should be charned so ag to gain the best results in making of the | finest article of butter, an article which would command the highest price in market,

Messrs, Wn. Laird, Walter Simpson, Geo, |

Clark, and others present,

(asked the professor many questions on farming in general which he answered satisfactorally to all.

A vote of thanks having been tendered to the professor, which he suitably ack- knowledged, the meeting dispersed, all being ‘satisfied that thev had received valuable information which they stored up _ for tuture use,

An Appeal to the Electors

|

| Do the Electors of the City of Charlottetown

| GENTLEMEN,—Respecting the Election to take place in this City on Wednes- day net, 12th inst., 1 have to state that I have no interests at stake in opposing the Bill then to be submitted to you, for whether said Bill is carried or not I have no intention of again offering myself for the position of City Councillor, For the past eighteen years I have, as a member of the City Council, tried to perform my duty in an honest and honor- able manner, having in view the best interests of my fellow citizens; and I would now par- ticularly request the City Electors, especially those of Wards Four and Five who have known me during the past forty years, to vote against the Bill, believing, as I do, that it is unjust in its provisions and coatrary to the best interests of the cityand to the spiit of the age. :

I consider that my efforts, together with those of Councillors Douse, Curtis and others, in preventing the contract for the construction of the City Waterworks from falling into the hands of a ring of speculators, who made powerful efforts to obtain it, have resulted in securing to the city a plentiful supply of pure water under its own control. Lhe Water- works are now self-sustaining, and will shortly return to the city a revenue over and above cost of maintenance. The parties who op- posed us in connection with this matter are the men who are to day contending for the proposed change in the City Constitution ; they are the men who tried, by every means in their power, to secure for themselves the contract for the construction of the water- works.

l ask for no other reward from the Electors of this City for my past services than that they gu to the polls on Wednesday next and vote against a bill which is illiberal in its pro- visions, dangerous to the liberties of the citizens, and contrary to their best inte: ests.
