OUR CIVIC GOVERNHENT-

Several letters that have appeared

lately in THE GUARDIAN over the signature "deform" show that there is some healthful discontent abroad with regard to our civic govern ment. It may be said of city councils as has been said of the governments of nations, the form of government counts for little and “that which is best administered is best.” Doubtless our civic govern- ment might be improved by the choice of better men in lieu of some who sit at the council board, but on the other hand the men who sit in representa- tive bodies are usually as good! as those who elect them deserve to have as representatives.

Want of interest in civic affairs is

the dry-rot from which civic govern- ment, not only here in Charlottetown but in scores of other cities ' suffers. Of the two or three thousand electors- how few there are that give any thought beforehand, toward_ bringing out and electing honest and capable men to transact the business of the city. The majority of the honest,

.»unselfish electors of a. ward in election

years wait till the very eve of the lcontest to see who is coming out, and when some two or three offer themselves, or are put in nomination by award clique, the honest elector contents himself with going to the polls to vote for the least objection- able of the candidates, or mayhap 'stays at home, too indifferent to walk the length of a. block to poll his vets. Honest earnest Christian citizenship is entirely opposed to such apathy in ‘civic or national affairs. Yet itl must be admitted that the apathy referred to has infected the religious and moral portion of the electorate more largely than it-. has the slums. The saloon-keeper and his retainers an patrons are al- ways found at the polls, while the elder, the class-leader and the deacon are too often content to stay at home and pray for the moral and spiritual regeneration of the city, Hence it comes that the dominant element in city council chambers, in legislatures and parliaments, is too frequently of a. class that ought not to be crowned with the honors nor clothed with the responsibilities of law-makers and administrators,

The apathy to which we refer is

also in part the fault of our system of infrequent elections. In a populous centre where the members of the community are in close touch with each other, the civic government ought to be so constituted that it can be quickly reached and influenced by public sentiment. Hence we think that at least some portion of the council,sa_v one half the number,ought tobe elected annually. If elections are troublesome and in some respects unpleasant they are none the less con- ducive to _that healthful interest in civic affairs without which we can never hope to have good government.

In St. John, N. B., after nearly a

century’s trial of the ward system it was abolished some years ago, and the members of the council are now chosen by the entire body of the electorate. Possibly the change has not effected all the good that was hoped to result from it, but it has accomplished something and there is no apparent disposition there to re- vert to the former system. Those w who take an interest in civic reform would do well to make some study of what has been done and is doingl

The editor of the farmer is trou-

body, even the brain,” “And if a farmer’s brain may be so a.ffected,why not an editor’s also Z” he piteously asks. Doubtless our contemporary’s readers have long since had their suspicions aroused.

Sir James Winter,' Premier of

hewfoundland, on his recent return from Wasliington, _ delivered an ad- dress before the hoard of trade of North Sydney in which he touched upon the relations of .the Island colony with Canada.. He says that union with Canada is not now a live question in Newfoundland. Person- ally his belief is that union would largely benefit both countries and he ibelieves that closer commerciiil rela- tions will eventually bring about politi- cal union.

Thereihas been for some thirty

years a colony of Wesh people at Chupat in Patagonia, who now num-

lArgentine republic now claims sovereignty over them, and interferes in their afl"a.irs. They have appealed to the British foreign oflice for pro- tection and say the colony is practi- cally British territory. This may make trouble between Britain and Argentina, and then- the Monroe doctrine may be called up again, if it still possesses any vitality.

In London where 130,000 persons

die annually and where land is of al- most priceless value, the want of space in which to bury the dead has become an urgent question and is giving an impetus to cremation. In the ordinary method of burying the dead in single graves and allowing some limited space. for foot walks, about 2,500 persons may be interred in an acre of ground. It would thus require 52 acres of additional cemetery room yearly to give the, required space. Thiis as a great, prosperous city grows there must‘ needs ‘ be a great silent city beside it whose population increases almost as fast. The parliamentary committee of the London County council will ask for power to establish crematories. Half a. dozen English towns and boroughs have obtained this power, and the movement is constantly extending. Many intelligent pefsons in various

for cremation as a substitute for burial.

yesterday by the tidings, received by cable in the moining, that the _Domin- ion Line steamer Labredor had been totally wrecked. It was known that six of our fellow citizens, rhpresenta- tives of leading mercantile firms, were on board, and the anxiety among their families and friends ` was most intense. Fortunately during the day the terrible suspense was relieved by the news that all the passengers .were saved. It turns out that they lost all their effects and escaped with their lives.” _

The Labrador on her eastward

trip, left St. John early on Monday. 20th February, and sailed from Hali- faxduring the night following. _Some of the Charlottetown Passengers took the steamer at St. John and others did so at Halifax. In the ordinary course they should have been safely landed at Liverpool, but the steamer appears to have gone to the northward of her true course about 100 miles and came to grief on a. rocky reef near Skerryvore. This reef lies isolated some ten miles `eouth' west of Tiree Island and three times as far west of Iona in Argyllshire, Scotland. - _ It is clear that the peril of the fifty-six passengers, with the captain and crew of the Labrador must have been most imminent and critical. But for the fortunate arrival of the Ger- man steamer mentioned in the de- spatch they might have`~perished in the troubled wintry waters, with no one left to tell the tale.
