‘My wife had a distressing cough, with pains in the side and breast. We | tried various medicines, but none did her any good until I got a bottle of Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral, which has cured her.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR,

City Council Criticism.
Sir, —The Patriot of the 11th inst., in its report of the meeting of the City Coun- cil held on Monday evening states that ‘a | number of accounts were read and the pay- ment thereof confirmed,” *tanother batch ef bills were ordered to be paid.” I have al- ways understood that it was not the custom of the city officials to make payment of any account unless ordered by the Council. The above extract from the Patriot shows to the citizens that some parties are enabl- ed to obtain payment before a meeting of the Council, and regardardless of the Council, while jother (parties are com- pelled to wait until the Council passes their accounts before obtaining theirfmoney.
| have endeavored to find out who the! favored ones are, and it will surprise many | to learn that they are either City Council- lors themselves or their friends.
I find as a result of my inquiry that one of the accounts before the Council last Monday evening, one for a hundred odd dollars, was presented ostensibly in the name of the foreman of one of the mechani- cal shops or this city for work done. A member of the firm is a City Conncillor, and the other member also holds a position in city affairs. It would not be drawing too much on one’s imagination to believe that the work was in reality done by the firm and the money received by them, while the account was sent in and paid through the medium of their foreman.
Another account furnished is a little more truthful having, whether by accident or not, being sent in in the names of the parties who really supplied the goods. The ‘* parties ” in this case bear the relation to-
wards each other of father and son, and one of them is a City Councillor. Another payment was made without
first having the sanction of Council, and was one of those required to be confirmed. The payment would appear on first blush to be made toa person not a Councillor, although every ose would know him to be a friend ofseveral. The amount paid was in the vicinity of $500. The circumstan- ces under which the payment was made are as follows: The person to whom it was payable owed one of the’Councillors, or at least it was said so; but an attaching order at the instance of a third person had been served on the city, and the money could not be paid without disobeying an order of one of the Judges of the Supreme Court. An order was given by the person whose debt had been attached, to one of the Councillors to obtain the money, and a cheque was presented to the Mayor te sign, but he refused to do so, owing to the Judge’s attaching order. The Councillor wanted the money and insisted on obtain- ing it; and it was subsequently arranged that the Mayor should sign the cheque upon obtaining a bond to the city to hold it harmless for disobeying the attaching order.
Whether the bond given is any security to the city or not is open to grave question. If it ever should be required to be enforced, it is doubtful if the Councillor concerned would allow an action to be brought upon it, and even if brought the question might arise as to its validity, inasmuch as it was given to do an act prohibited by an order of a Judge of the Supreme Court.
I do not intend, in the present letter, to comment on the above three instances of as clear a violation of the city laws relating to theindependence of Councilors as couid well be imagined for the 5th section of the act relating to fhe City of Charlottetown, passed last session, enacts that ‘if any Councillor shall have any interest, by him- self or partner, in contract or employment with or on behalf of the City Council. such Commcillor shall immediately become dis- qualified and shall cease to hold office.”
The citizens should carefully consider the above three instances of illegality. Whether they are keys to something more or not, parties outside the circle caanot tell.
CIrizeN. iin lisiglbindni ‘Warren Farm.”
Sir,—Concerning this, one of the most historic spots in Prince Edward Island, an article on which appeared in Monday’s issue, I extract the following from the Prince Edward Island Reyister of 1828 :~-
**Granted in the year 1799, by order of His Grace the late Duke of Portland, then Secre tary of State, to Charles Alexander de Calonne, the Minister of the unfortunate Louis XVI.
‘*Upon the death of Monsieur de Calonne, it devolved to his son, Charles Henrie Louis de Calonne, a Captain in the Chasseurs Brit- taniques, who died at Malta, when it became vested in the late Abbe James Ladisla Joseph de Calonne, as heir and executor to his brother and nephew. To relieve the Abbe from some pecuniary distress, the late Genera! Fanning was induced, in the year 1807, being then in England, to become the purchaser o° this property, the possession of which has since been confirmed to his daughters, in the most gratifying manner, by His Majesty's ministers.” ,
The old Abbe died, I think, in a monas- tery at Three Rivers, towards the beginning of this century. Yours, &c.,
DENONVILLE.
A Note of Alarm.
Srr,—It looks at present as if the con-
its control. This object attained. all re- straint will be removed and free rum wil! reign supremo. And where now are the
jadvocates of temperance who called uopn heaven and earth to uphold their cause a
few months ago? Silent. Where are the women whoworked and prayed for the main- tenance of the Scott Act? Silent. Where are the valiant members of the temperance societies who meet weekly and propound such aggressive measures? Silent one, and silent all, Shortly they will be called upon to take the field and drill in the face of disciplined forces, and under those cirenm- stances it is not hard to tell the result. Yours truly, ALARMIST, Ch’town, Dec. 13, 1988.

Tre Panama Loan.—The beliefin Lon- don is that the latest Panama loan is al- ready a failure. If it fails the last hope of awerting the bankruptcy of the company disappears. Little regret is felt here. There is sympathy with M. de Lesseps, but no liking for the methods by which he has financed this enterprise. Shares are down to one third par value.

A Hicuiy CoLorep Story.—From a Fred ericton, N. B., despatch we learn that Elsie Robinson and Jane Orhea, colored, met Chas. Wheary, also colored, the other night while he was on the Road from Morrison’ Mills. They accused him of talking about them. One knocked him down with a club and the other gouged him about the breast, neck and face with a knife. They left him unconscious. He was found and taken home; and is pretty well bandaged up. His wounds are not dan gerous- A warrant is issued for the arrest of thewomen. All belong to St. Mary’s.

Favse Teeru Dip It.—It is reported that medical circles throughout. Connecticut are much interested in the case of Ellsworth Ben- nett, of New Haven, who secently purchased a set of teeth with a rubber plate. Shortly afterward his tongue swelled up to a thickness of two inches, and it was found that he had been poisoned by mercury, used in the com- position of the teeth. His eyelids also swelled up so that he was blind for a time, and other parts of his body have been similarly affected. The doctors in New Haven and elsewhere are much puzzled over the case, which is without precedent.

A Great Seizure.—Collector J. Shager, says a San Francisco despatch, has seized the steamer Westmeath and her cargo of sugar which arrived from Java last Monday, con- signed tothe American sugar refinery. Duty
The reason tor the seizure is stated to be that the quaiity of the sugar has been under-estimated and that the Government has been defrauded out of about $100,000 duty on one cargo. A ware- house of the company where some of the sugar had been stored was also seized, and with the steamer and cargo, placed in charge of the Customs officer under seal,
THe CanapiaN ALMAnac.—We have re- ceived from the publishers, Copp, Clarke & Co., Toronto, a copy of The Canadian Alma- nacfor the year 1889. This is the forty- second year of publication. What ‘Whittaker'’s Almanac is to the English people the Cana dian Almanac is to Canadians, and the latter publication should find a place in every office in this Province. It contains full and auth entic commercial, statistical, astronomical, departmental, and much other useful know- ledge. We are also indebted to the same publishers for a copy of the I/lustrated Cana- dian Almanac for 1889, which, besides being beautifully and profusely illustrated (by Canadian and other artists) contains a variety of useful and interesting information for the people of this Canada of ours. The illustrat- ed edition is very prettily gotten up, and, we have no doubt, will be tavorably received,
