the

There should be no indifference shown in this importaat contest. The com- mittees should be well organized, and early at work.

Every person friendly to the citizens’ candidates should coustitute himself a committee of one, and “ go in to win.” He should get his lukewarm friends to the polls early—and keep working until the poll closes.

No effort should be spared to evsure

success.

Don’t act upon the idea that they are safe, and will be elected. They can only be elected by your votes.

The obstructives are doing their utmost to defeat the citizens’ candi- dates, but they cannot succeed if - the

citizens will bat vote. We conjare our friends to vote, and

ist. It advocates “retrenchment ia the expenditure’—which is easy to talk about—bat it does not explain how they propose to carry it out.

We ask why? Because they know it to be impossibie ! ;

2nd. They favor ‘‘the removal of the Poll Tax curse” from citizens over sixty years of age. If they are sincere, why did they not advocate this before? Because they only want to use it as an e'ection dodge to catch votes, koowing that it cannot be carried out without Laving the Act of Incorporation amend- ed by the Legislature.

3rd. They propose “to employ a Sanitary Engineer to report as to the necessity of sewerage.” If he the premises of some of the obstruction- ist party, he will be sure to recommend the work being undertaken at once. hey will then be compelled to vote for the adoption of his report, and to under- take the work regardless of the cost.

4th. “Sewerage should be constructed ot of the Profits of Waterworks ”!!

‘ow suddenly they have changed their minds! Only afew months ago these same Wiseacres declared th» introduction of waterworks would rnio the city. Now, by some new mode of figuring, they have disecvered how to make them yield enormous profi's.

oth, “The contract with any Company for the waterworks to be submitted for approval to a meeting of the ratepayers.” Or in other words, ‘o give the orators of the clique a chauce to air their views, and an opportunity to get their anti- water friends at a party meeting (as they would make it) to vote it down, inasmuch as they are not honestly in favor of the project. If a water Council is elected they will be able to do ihe business Without the aid of the clique.

oth. “To keep ciear of taxation, bribery, corruption, fanaticism.” There is ouly one way this can be déne—by voting for Breer as Mayor, and for Keiiy, McLean and Lewis as Council- lors, who are in favor of the introduc- tion of waterworks by a Company, hones! administration of civic affairs, have a mind of their own, and will not be led by a clique.

_o- «

No Backing Down.

As a Vivie Election is, for citizens, the most important that can be held, much interest ought to be taken in the coafpst of tomorrow. neglect of

civic matters

The Waterworks Question. Tae difference between the two parties in the City Council on the water- works quesfion will be most readily seen in the following resolutions submitted to the City Council: —

Moved by Councillor Crabbe,and second- ed by Councillor Kelly.

Resolved, By this Council, that upon the introduction of an efficient system of water- works into this city, this corporatioa con- tract with any company or person introduc- ing the same, for the placing and maintain- ing of hydrants for the city puposes, at a cost not exceeding three thousand dollars per annum.

Moved as amendment by Councillor Morris, and seconded by Councillor Douse:

Resolved, That tenders be called for construction of waterworks for the city of Charlottetown, payment for the same to be made in city debentures, bearing five per cent. interest, guaranteed by the Govern- ment of P. E, Island.

For amendment—Yeas, Morris, Douse, Horne, McRae, Curtis.—5d. Nays—Crabbe, Kelly, Davy, Haszard,

McLean. —5.

His Worship Mayor Beer gave hia casting

vote against the amendment. A Good Reason.

WueN a public mau does well the public should show that they appreciate his conduct. Mayor Beer “acted nobly” (according to Councillor Cartis) during the late smallpox trouble; and now that he is again a candidate for the Mayoralty citizens ought to show that they know how to value the good service he render- ed under difficult circumstavces, by re-electing him?

LEPPTERS VO THE EDITOR.

Letter from D. R. M. Hooper, Esq.

Str :—In your issue of yesterday, a correspond- ent of yours says that

“A reference to the Civic Accounts will estab” lish the fact that during Mr. Hooper's term of oftice, debentures to the amount of $2.900 were re- deemed, and a new issue floated of $20,500, so that the bonded debt of the city was $17,600 greater when Mr. Hooper went out of office than when he came in.”

Your correspondent should have told the whole truth, which is this: When I took office, as Mayor, the overdraft at the Uniou Bank was $20,900, bear ing interest at 7 per cent., payable monthly, inter est added to principal every month. To pay off this, more than “‘bonded debt” of $20,990. we issued debentures for $2,500, bearing interest at 5 per cent.. and the balance we paid from ordinary revenue, and thus effected a saving of about $600 a year to the citizens. The debentures, which were redeemed, during myterm of office, were paid from ordinary revenue properly economized, and not by an issue of new debentures.

Mr. Charles Palmer was President of the Union Bank at the time the overdraft bearing the usur- ious interest of 7 per cent. interest, the interest added to the principal monthly, was paid off: and perhaps this will account for his “wooden headed” allusions to me at the Market Hall meeting.

Yours, truly,

D. R. M. HOOPER. Charlottetown, Jan. 26, 1886,

Civic Election.

Sin,—Referring to the letter of ‘*Tax Payer,” in yesterday’s issue, wherein Coun- cillors Davy and Douse were charged with bringing out opposi‘ion to Councillor Kelly. Those gentlemen, I understand, now attempt to wriggle cut of the matter, I ani prepared to sustain the statements set forth in ‘*Tax Payer’s” Jetter—ithat the above named gentlemen were instrumental in inducing Mr. Taylor to come ont for Ward Two, aud have since canvassed and worked for him.

Jeweiry Smuggler Captured

Montreal customs officers have for some months past been watehing the movements of an elderly Englishman named Dearden, who appeared to be an invalid, and has been a frequent traveller on Halifax and Quebec trains. On these excursions he generally had him a large qnantity of baggage. [t was discovered that this man was a trader in jewellery of English manufacture and did a large business in M -ntreal, Quebee, Hali- ‘ax and surrounding districts. The amount of duties paid by him, however, was dispro- portionate to the extent of his business. A few days ago an officer proceeded to the rooms occupied by Dearden, and seizsd $20,000 in value of English jewelry which had not passed through the customs. Dear- has coufessed that he has carried on busi- ness for a number of years, travelling back and forward on Atlantic steamers and Jand- ing goods either at Halifax or Quebeo. The goods seized will be confiscated, and it is also thought that aheavy fine will be im- pesed.

{[Spxora, Desparouss to Tuk Kxaminen., } Will Fight to the Bitter End

Lonvon, Jan, 25.

The Greek Minister, in an interview res- pecting the warlike Gespatches published this morning, says the Greek king, govern- ment and people will fight to the bitter end before they will allow Bulgaria to absorb 100,000 people belonging to the Greek race, which she will certainly do if the union of Bulgariaand Eastern Roumelia is recognized. Greece is fully entitled to the whole of Epirus. England is interfering with the rights and liberties of Greece. I am confident that the Greeks can whip the Turks at sea. As to a land conflict, the moment war is declared Macedonia and Albania will be set in flames, thus cutting off the land communication of the Turks.

Fatal Railway Collision.

Toronto, Jan. 25.

About six o’clock to-night a collision occurred on the Northern Railway at New Market, between a wild-cat engine and a passenger train coming south, Wil- liam Little, fireman, was instantly killed, and Harry McQuade, fireman of the wild- cat engine, had both legs broken and other- wise injured fatally ; Alfred Long, driver, was seriously injured. The passengers arrived here shortly before midnight.
