LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

' A Lesson on the Wharf Question.

Sir,—When a person places his opinions before the public, the first requisite is that he should kuow something of the question he undertakes to diseus*. If he volanteers to speak in the behalf of other people and claims to set forth their opinions, it: is doubly incumbent on him that he should not make his clients ridiculous by his ignorance. I am led to make these reflac- tions by reading a letter in yesterday’s EXAMINER signed ** Horace Haezard,”’ re- garding Halliday’s and Brush Wharves. ‘fhe people of Belfast and surrounding districts,” know that these wharves belong to the Dominion Government, that the said Government has paid the Local Govern- ment for its expenditure on them since 1873, and expended money in repairing them last summer, Government has now no more to do with these works than has the City Council of Charlottetown. The leading farmers and merchants of Belfast District, who de- nounced the Commissioner of

Haszard’s

and merchanis.”

VINDEX. | Jane 27, 1885.

Credit to Whom Credit is Due.

|days, I was particulary impressed with the ‘singing of the choir. The general opinion 'of the Ministers and laymen preeent on the ‘occasions, was that the singing was of a very high order, and I congratulate the ‘Methodists of Charlottetown in being so highly favored with superior Church music, artistically rendered by voices so well cul- tivated. We aflirm that the credit for this high state of efficiency is wholly due to the careful training of the choir while under} the leadership of Professor Friese. It is weil-known that considerable opposition was experienced by him in the introduc- tion of a higher standard of music than that formerly used in the Churches of this City; but we are glad to know that this difficulty hes been in a great measure over- come, and that the music, as now rendered, has received the full endorsement of the members of the Conference, so fay as has been publicly expressed by resolution at the various public meetings. We are glad that the choir has thus been encouraged in their efforts to reach a higher standard in musical culture. We are of opinion that great credit is due Miss Lilia Morris, their organist, who has proved herself to be efficient and faithful in tie discharge of her duties. PROGRESSION. Ch’town, Junh 27, 1885.

The Temperance Question.

Sir,—I see in your issue of the 18th that the resolution passed by the Methodist Conference in Charlottetown, protestiug against the Senate’s Scott Act amendment, was seconded by an Hon. W,. Strong, and that he also spoke in its favor. Can you inform the tewpcrance people if this is the same Hon. W, G. Strong,Sheriff and Second License Commissioner for Prince County, who attended the annual meeting of the Dominion Alliance in Summerside, in March last, and then also made a speech declaring the determination of the Licens- ing Board not to grant any licenses in the County outside of Summerside.

Previous to that, the temperance people of Alberton, fearing that some of the rum- sellers might apply and get a license, had induced Mr. Dyer, druggist, to apply for & vendor's license; but on the strength of Mr. Strong’s determination, Mr. Dyer was advised to withdraw his application, which he did. The Licensing Board at their annual and adjourned meeting, refused to grant any licensos outside of Summerside.

How is it then,Mr. Editor, that the Hon. Williaa G. Strong, Sheriff and Licensing Commissicner for Prince County, Seconder of the Methodist Conference temperance resolutions, (1 feel ashamed to say anything of his standing in the Methodist Church) has during the present month put his name to a license to R. B. Reid, of Alberton, to vend poisonous compounds,

Let Mr. Strong beware. It will be only a few years, at rost, before he will have to stand before a judge to whom ignorance of the abuse made by Vendors of their privileges will be no plea, and who has put a curse on the traffic which Mr. Strong has licensed.

1 will keep you advised of the quantity of liquors received by the Alberton Vendors, and also the number of certificates given by physicians.

Yours, etc., Canpor.

City Taxation.

Sir.—Your very humble servant prays that you will advocate the interests of the city, as well and as successfully as you do the interest of the country; and that is what (pardon my plainness) you, nor any of your brethern of the quill have ever yet done.

In your issue of May 13, under the head- ing of the Legislative Council Election, you wrote :—

‘‘Farmers and others know to their sorrow what ‘Davies’ Tax Act” mears. Their farms, and not only this but their improvements were taxed, so that the thrifty and industrious farmer was com- pelled to pay more than his less industrious neighbor. Ifa farmer happened to put up a new house ora new barn, or even to whitewash his fences or out-buildings, his

Six, —Having attended the various public | er es Vee ee eros

‘meetings held at the Methodist Brick |

|Church in this city, during the Session of | hitherto

|Conference held there during the past few |

city corporation at this very time. You

, continue, —

‘‘ Worst of all, every male person from the age of 16 up to 60 years of ago, under the Davies Government, was com- pelied to pay a Poll Tax of one dollar a “head.”

Every male person from 16 years of age up to the age of Methusulah, under our city government is compelled to pay two dollars » head. Again,—

‘* Many families under the tax had to pay as muchas five and six dollarsa year as Statute Labor money.”

Many men in the city whose means are any thing but lerge, have to pay six to sixteen dollars a head. I know of one, he has a small property for which he is assessed eight dollars, Poll Tax two dollars. By his horse and his hands he gets his living, and although an energetic man I do not think he is profitably employed, more than one hundred out of the three hundred, and eleven working days out of the year. And now the corporation will take thirteen dollars out of his pocket or rather out of his elbows. Another who has raised

family, assessed sixteen dollars, poll tax two dollars, personal property rated at four times its value. Heowns a small house but his means of living is very small; yet if he does not or cannot raise the above taxes

| he will now, when near eighty years of age,

be put on the street. Another who has a

city assessment. Now, Sir, when we con- sider the large amount from different points got out of the city, 36 up to $40,000 (and no Stephen G,. to ring in the changes on the city tax curse;) and a little larger amount for this year, besides the enormous debt already contracted, we can only come to this conclusion that there was somethiny vicious in the inception of the corporation, I should like abler heads than mine to investigate the subject and give us their views with respect to financial reform. Your’s, Sir. CITIZEN.

The Word “Religion” Still Dis-

puted.

Srr,—-I fail to see that this now vexed question can be of much interest to many of your readers. For those who may have followed the discussion ] have one word more to add in refutation of the last letter from ‘* Enquirer.” To hope I could con- vince him of his blundering, would be ex- pecting too much from one who seems past his schoolboy days, and firmly wedded to indefensible theories. It appears | touched him on some sore spots for he winces, and as usual with advocates of a weak case, has had recourse to the soothing ba!m of vapid Witticism, spiced with scurrility. ‘Tis cuttle-fish practice, but not argument. When at last he meets the point at issue, he but reiterates his own preconceived notions which he fondly imagines an ad- miring world will receive unquestioned on his authority.

To support his view of the case he treats us to a cooked-up dissertation on the word legio. I shall show presently that the cook- ing was all done in his own kitchen. ‘Phe preparation may suit his own palate, but scholars will reject it.

By way of elucidation he refers to the word cohers. He quotes Greek with the same facility as Lat. His ‘‘ Unabridged Worcester” renders him good services in this emergency, and supplies the literary dust he throws broadcast with lavish hand. But 1 suppose if he appears again he will inveigh against me for ‘* slandering and belittling” him. My last reference to Worcester any way met with scant courtesy. Still his offset cohers proves nothing. What we are concerned with is the word legio. 1 fully explained the word in my last, and challenged the pro- duction of a passage from any of the stand- ard Latin authors in support of a meaning different from the one I adduced. Instead of accepting the challenge he evades the question, and plausibly wriggles out of the difficulty by producing a text from the Vul- gate. ‘* Zoquirer” will be surprised when I tell him he has just given me—unwitting- ly, of course—an opportunity of strength- ening my position, and of vindicating the meaning [said before was the one proper toit. He referred me to St. Mark v., 9.

I sholi trauscribe the annotation on this passage of Archbishop McEvilly, cone of the foremost English writing commentators on the Gospels, and at the same time one of the most learned of the Irish Episcopate, whose opinicn, unless I am greatly mis- taken, will far outweigh the pretentious twaddle of ‘‘ Enquirer.’’ The passage is : ‘* My name is Legion, for we are many.” ‘* The Jews,” writes McEvilly, ‘‘ then sub- ject to the Romans, adopted many terms in use among the Romans, with whom the word ‘legion’ denoted 6,000 soldiers ; and the devil vses this word, which designated a definite number, to denote a large but indefinite number of demons. Because we are many.” The word means that a large troop of demons (this is the meaning of the word ‘‘Jjegion”) had taken possession of this wretched man. The demon also uses the word ‘legio’ in imitation of God, who is called the Lord of Armies, whom all the hosts of Heaven serve and wbey, to convey that the wicked angels always carry on their fiendish war against us.’

I have written enough on this subject for an intelligent public. ‘‘ Enquirer’? will hear no more from

Repty.
