Dark Streets.

Tae City was last night—as it was the night before—enveloped in darkvess.

City Councillors in the majority hesitate |

to pay the cost of their bungling stupid ity; and while citizens grope in dark- ness and wallow in mud, the gas lamps are being taken down

It appears that not before Saturday last—the very day on which the contract for lighting the streets expired,—did the Councillors even make an effort to pro-

vide light for the time which must elapse before the electric lamps are ready to flish forth their incandescent

splendor. On that day they waited upon the Directors of the Gas Company, and wanted to know how much the Company wou'd charge for lighting the streets for a month, or for as long a period as the Electric Light Company took to com plete their arrangements. In less thao ao hour they received the answer— $600 a month for two months. They took time to consider this, and on Sunday night the Gas Compauy lit the streets at their own expense. On Monday after noon the Finance Committee of the Couucil proposed to give the Company $450 per month. This proposition the Company reiused to entertain—and so the matter When the City Coun- cillors iu the maj rity make up their minds to pay the Gas Company, $600 a month for two months we shall have light! The Company have the Council “* before the wind;” aad under the circumstauces, can blame them for demanding a good price ?

Citizens of Charlottetown will hardly be content to dwell in darkness like the Cimmerii of old, But what are they going to do about it? They eleeted in- competent men to represent their iuter- ests inthe Council, and they must pow abide the results of their recklessness and foliy. We have pot one word to Say against the majority ia the City Council. Darkoess and even worse than

stands.

who.

darkness is what might have been ex- pected from them; — the blame lies with those who elected them. This

moruing a leading citizen declared that they were "proper representatives of dark- ness, dirt and destruction, and ought to be held personally responsible for all the accidents which may occur and all villainies which may be committed in our dark streets.” Neverthele-s they were elected by the citizens of Char- lottetown, and will, in all probability, be elected again.

It is, indeed, questionable whether we shall ever effect an improvement in the Council until there is a radical change in its constitution. Five Councillors, elected every year by the whole city, with power to select a Mayor from their number, might possibly manage civic affairs with prudence; ten Councillors elected as Councillors now are—never.

—Speaking of the proposed Treaty of Reciprocity with the United States, the St. John Sun says:.“‘The advantages of such a treaty would pot be all ours. When the crew of a Gloucester fishing schooner find themselves conipeiled to remain outside the three mile limit while a school of mackerel and a fleet of Canadian fishermen are within, there will seem to be another side of the story. Our Yankee neighbors must not suppose that we are not to defend our fishing rights. A few rather barsh speakers and writers across the border have hinted that no Canadian interference with United States fishing vessels will be tolerated. Of course Congressmen know better than this.”

—As will be seon from the list of delegates at the Liberal Conservative Convention, held to-day, every portion of the District was represented, and the unanimous expres- sions of confidence in the policy of the Party, and so representative a Convention, indi-

Liberal-Conservative by so large cates what may be confidently regarded as another certain triumph for the party of progress and economy. Mr. Bovyer is a good and popular candidate, and we be- speak for him the support of the electors.

—A woman in Ottawa who tried to ent the throats of her three children, recently took an oath in court to abstain in future from the use of all intoxicating drinks. Afier all, that is the only absolutely sale course.

— Three large iron works in Middles- borough, England, have been closed, owing to depression in the iron trade. Still they have Free Trade in England.

New York’s Grant Monument fand, that was first fixed ata million dollars, has not yet reached a tenth of that sum, and hangs terribly back among the nineties. Eng- land, the South, the country generally, and the schools have all been appealed to, the latest idea being to invite all the school children in the state to contribute ten cents each tothe scheme, but it is likely to be abandoned, as was that of holding a great fair in Madison Square Gardens, taken up a short time ago, and New York will have to be content with a much less magnificent erection to the memory of her dead citizen than was at first intended.

= + A Winnipeg peper s‘ates that Mr. D. L. McKenzie has entered into articles with the Farmers’ Union to build a #65,000 to 100,- 000 bushel elevator in Winnipeg.

St. Peter's Church Gravevard.

A NEW Graveyard Cross was erected in St. Peter’s Graveyard on Monday last, in the place of the wooden one which had been |there since the graveyard was opened in |1870. It is of Wallace greystone, and |stands fourteen feet high on a mound, which makes the total height about eighteen | feet. I: weighs between four and five tons. | The design is from the pencil of Mr. C. E. | Kemp, of London, G. B, and isa depar. ture from the conventional, which com- mends ft as much as do its own artistic merits. The base consists of threo steps, each a monolith, the lowest one of which is five “feet equare, the next nine inches smaller, and the uppermost in proportion. Upon this stands the die, one foot and a “half high, from which the spire rises nearly seven feet, in its turn surmounted by the cross proper, capped by a roof-shaped structure. The whole is symmetrical and graceful, its slender pro- pertions giving ita light uncumbersoime appearance. Upon the front of the die is inscribed the following words from the Litany . ‘‘In tbe hour of death and in the day of judgment, good Lord deliver us.” Oa the opposite side is S‘, Paul’s prayer for the soul of his friend Onesiphorus, ([1 Timothy, 1.18): ‘The Lord grant unto them that they may find mercy of the Lord in that day.’’ On the south side is inseribed : ‘Erected 1885, George Wright Hodgson, Priest Incumbent from June, 1869, to July, 1885.” The cross was made by Messrs, |Cairns and McLean, whose artistic ex- ecution of the design must be evident to every one, and reflects great credit upon the sculptors,
