Hon. Neil McLeod will, we feel sure, be countenanced by either of the represent- atives of Belfast, or by other honorable and fairminded members of the Opposition.

Altogether the political situation is no

worse, but rather better, for the Govern-

ment Party, than it was in 1882, when the

majorities both in the country and in the

Legislature were just as narrow as they are been enabled

now. The Government has

Moved by Councillor Eden, seconded by Councillor McCarron, and carried unani- mously:

Resolved, That the Assessors are hereby in- structed and required to send in and make similar returns as heretofore required of them of the values of all real estate in this city, omitted by them in their previous return, or which have changed ownership or occupancy in the meantime. Also, the value of all per- sonal property so omitted as aforesaid, or which has since their last return come into the city, or which has changed ownership in the meantime. Also of all persons liable to poll tax, who have been so omitted as afore- said, or who have been liable to be assessed therefor since the last return of said Asses- sors, sach returns to include that required under the Charlottetown Water Works Act, 1887.

On motion of Councillor Large, seconded by Councillor Taylor, City Marshal Cam- eron was appointed Prosecutor under the Canada Temperance Act, at a salary of $10 for the year.

Councillor Morris, chairman of the Finance Committee, submitted a request from the City School Board for an advance of $1,000 on account of the estimates of ex- pense for 1890. The request was,on motion, granted.

Councillor Douse moved the following re- solution, which was seconded by Councillor Large and catried unanimously :

Whereas, There appears from time to time in the Island Gnardian newspaper, published in this city, malicious, vindictive, and un- truthfal editorials, concerning this City Council, and

Whereas, in its issue of the 24th of Jan. last there appears the following :—

““We are informed that on the night pre vious to the Civic Election one of the City Council got hold of, a reformed drinking man, induced him to take liquor, and sent him home to his family beastly drunk. The poor wife and mother, who had begun to enjoy again the comforts and blessings of « happy home, can now only look forward to

verty, sorrow and woe. Is there any crime in the weet greater than that man com- mitted, yet he goes free, nay, is placed in a position of honor.” And

Whereas, We believe this to be a base fabrication.

Tharcfore Resolved, That this Council calls on the editor and owners of the Island Guardian newspeper to prove their accugs-

tion, or stand cunvicted of being slandevers |

and false accusers.

- TUESDAY,

Daring Burglaries at Emerald.

On Saturday evening last between the hours of 8 and 9 o’clovk, the store of W. H. Haslam & Bros., was entered by some unknown person. The burglar ransacked the store pretty well, first seeing to his persona! comfort by exchanging his old bovis sucks for a new outnt, after which, having systematically laced up his new boots with the old laces, he proceeded to choose a piece of cloth for a suit, and having found a suitable one cut off what he required, and proceeded to make other selections of overshoes, &c., which he col- lected together, and then treated himself liberally to raisins, tobacco, confectionery, &c. Thinking, however, that he might do better at the other store where there was a larger field for his operations, he made his exit by the way he entered, leav:ng everything behind him except the boots and socks, in which he made his way to the store of Mr. A. Craig, where he, as before, broke his way in through the window and proceeded to help himself from the many good things there. Observing a pair of boots of greater dimensions and better suited to the weather, he again made a change; and having refreshed the “inner

and

man’ with cakes and _ other sweets, he took a large valise and packed it full of combs, brushes, neckties,

jewelry and other trinkets which took his fancy. When he had everything securely packed, he, by some other strange freak, left these behind him, after having relieved the tills of their surplus cash, and leaving instead sundry pairs of old gloves, mittens and socks, quietly took his departure. About 9 o'clock the same evening, Mr. McKay, on going to look after his stock for the night, found in his barn a boy of about 15 years, who said he had taken ehelter there from the rain. A person, thought to be the same, passed the night in one of the outhouses of farmer Oakes, of Bradalbane, and started eastward on the railway on Sunday morning. A youth, answering to

the boy's deseription—long featured, of a | ruddy complexion, with new high boots on |

boarded the train Monday morning, and

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

Letter From Mr. E J. Hodgson, Q C.

Sir,—The statement in THe ExaMinER of the 10th inst., that I have been retained

not only inaccurate but misleading.

Mr. McLeod asked me if accept a retainer from the Crown. I informed him I had already been retained by Mr. Sutherland.

You are, perhaps, not aware that it is unusual for counsel to accept retainers from different parties, although their interests may be identical.

But the Attorney General has been assured of this, that any assistance | can render him in the endeavor to fiad

the great crime against Mrs. Sutherland, is entirely at his service, and I have con-

| veyed this assurance to him by Mr. Suther-

land’s express desire.

There can be no doubt that there is an intense feeling on the part of the public that the poisoner of Mrs. Sutherland should

be brought, and speedly brought, to justice; |

but there are some persons who, over and

above this, desire to hunt Mr. Sutherland, |

and run him to the ground. Yours, &c., Epwarp J. Hopeson. Feb. 11, 1890.
