LETTERS PO THE EDITOR, >

The Incapable Secretary.

| | } |

““Not long ago, at a public meeting at |Montague, Mr. Prowse requested W. C. |White not to report his speech, as he was neither capable nor willing, hovieg on several

occasions misrepresented him,” &c

Sir,— lt is of paramount importance to

|the public generally that the proceedings of |public meetings should be well, truly, and faithfully reported, in order that they may | form a just estimate of the political views and expressions of the men who are entrust- ‘ed with the performance of the public |duties of the country. A most flagrant, dishonest and unpardonable misrepre- sentation of the expressions of our public men, is unblushingly evinced in an incon- sistent, mean and garbled report of a Montague meeting, over the signature of W. C. White, Secretary.

{t unmistakably appears, from the reck- less disregard of truth and integrity, so wontonly displayed by Mr. White when reporting Hon. 8. Prowse’s sj eech, deliver- ed on that occasion, that he is impressed with the mean and cowardly conviction, that because he and Mr. Prowse happen to differ in opinions politically, he should, therefore, with impunity wilfully misrepre- sent his public utterances, calculated to create an impression prejudicial] to him in the estimation of the public, Mr. White

must certainly know, that it was his im- perative duty when acting in the important capacity of Secretary, to have displayed impartiality to the fullest extent, and thereby he would have admirably succeeded in discharging the important duty in- cumbent on him, in a manner that would have won for him the esteem and confidence of every impartial person. Any truthful person who was present at that meeting will unhesitatingly declare that the views and expressions enunciated by Mr. Prowse would, if truthfully re- ported, convey to the public an impression quite contrary to that which they at preseut bear. In view of these facts it must,

say was, that the Act passed last session,

steam service in King’s County,” provided for all and more than the Petitioners asked

of the Act, which is as follows:—‘*Whereas it is expedient that steam communication should be provided between Georgetown and Montague Bridge, and Georgetown and Annandale, Lot 56; Dundas, Lot 55; Souris, Bay Fortune and Murray Harbor, or be- tween such of the said places as it may appear practicable to provide such steam communication.” Mr. Prowse also showed that there was nothing in the Act to pre- vent the Government from entering into a contract with any person or company who wished to contract, only, for the sérvice between Montague Bridge and Georgetown, while the Act empowered the Govornment to allow the contractors to include Annan- dale, Dundas, Souris, Bay Fortune and Murray Harbor, or any of them, if prac- ticable.” In speaking on the pier question, Mr. Prowse read Mr. Sullivan’s telegram, but never said the money had been received, but showed conculsively that if all our claims were conceded we woul receive $125,000, and if the Dominion Government took all the wharves off our hands and placed a sum _ sufficient in the esti- mates, to put them in _ thorough and good repair, that instead of an expendi- ture of $8,000 or $10,000 per year, which the Local Government had heretofore spent yearly, the time was not far distant when, owing to increased shipping facilities, scarcity of material, ete., they would prob- ably cost $20,000 per year, which would be equal to an increase of our capital of $400,- 000, at 5 per cent., which, with the amount to be refunded, would be equal to about $500,000,

Mr. Prowse never said the pier money would clear us from taxation for years to come, and probably forever; but he did say that if all our claims that we had against the Dominion Government were obtained, it would clear us from direct taxation for years to come, and probably forever. Nor did Mr. Prowse ‘‘launch out with a general review of the Government's policy,” but, in replying to the previous speakers, the Secretary, R. W. Sprague, Esq., and others, he only spoke on the following subjects, viz.: County Court, Wharves, Montague Bridge and Steam Communica- tion to Montague Bridge. Trusting» Mr. Editor that you will, in justice to Mr. Prowse and the public, give insertion to this communication, and that it will, to a small extent at least, cure the Montague Secretary of his besetting sin in mis-report- ing Mr. Prowse’s speeches.

reading and recitation. On all these sub- jects the pupils showed themselves very expert with their answers, and acquitted themselves creditably. The reading by the pupils of the different classes was, in the estimation of all present, good. In arithmetic, grammar, geography and his- tory classes, of the different grades, the pupils acquilted themselves admirably. The recitations from the different classes were well rendered, which elicjted en- comiums to praise. This speaks volumes for teacher and pupils. At the close of the eXamination, prizes were distributed among those who had acquitted themselves honor- ably. The following is a list of the prizes given :—

Book presented by Mr. John McEachern for the best in Arithmetic, awarded to Milicent McEachern.

Book presented by Mr. Albert Boswall for the best Writing, awarded to Bessie Boswall.

Book presented by teacher, Joseph Morrissey for the pupil making the highest total number of marks in the English |; branches, awarded to Millicent McEachern.

One dollar presented by Mr. Alexander McRae for the best Reading, awarded to John McDonald, Nathanie) Wood, Albert Boswall and Fred. McRae, being equal.

One dollar presented by Mr. Ronald McDonald for the best Recitation, awarded |‘ to Joyce Lane and William Heron, being equal. Two dollars presented by Edward Wood, Esq., J.

In a recent lecture before the New York County Medicel Association, Dr. Detmold f ave a simple remedy for weak ankles, knock knees, bowed legs, raised shoulders, and curved spines. His remedy is: —‘‘Ap- ply a little common-sense to the sole of your boot. When the inner anklebone protrudes and causes a weak ankle, remove the weight from the protruding part. To do this the sole on the inner side of the boot must be raied a little. By this means the inner anklebone would be thrown into its proper place and made strong. To cure knock knees raise the inner sides of the soles of both boots, and to straighten bowed legs raise the boot soles on the outer edges. In case the left shoulder is higher than the right, add a thickness of sole leather to the bottom of the right boot, thus lengthening the leg. Curvature of the spine in children and young people may be cured in the same way. —-_-

To prevent conductors from pocketing

ainsi ai fares, the passenger agent of a Western railroad made a rule that they must give to each person paying fare on a train a check

or five cents, redeemable at any station.

Passengers who are disposed to be frugal can profit a littie by this rule. A who made a round trip recently over a part of the road paid his fare from station to station, and at the end he had acquired conductor's checks amounting to $3.80. The fares had cost him thirty cents more than the regular price of a ticket for the whole distance; so his actual saving was $3.50. The conductor would hardly have taken that much.
