Notes and Comments.
A deputation of tue City Council waited upon the city members this forenoon to urge some changes in the Kill to amend the Water Commissioners Act. Some of the provisions of the bill seem to be very objectionable, and ought to be carefully examined.
A shrowd observer, ex-ald. Askwith, of taws, has been visiting the western states, amd reports on his return that ao large immigration into the British Col- umbia mening districts will soon take place from Montana, Idaho and Washington. According to a despatch in the Montreal Star, Mr. Askwith says when coming home he passed through North Dakota by the Northera Pacific railway, and the picture was one of desolation. Not only have farms been abandoned, but whole towns and villages have been deserted, the win- dows being boarded up, and not even a dog is left to bark at the passing train. In one village the only resident was the ata- tion-master, who was monarch of all he surveyed. Bismarck, the capital of the state, whick boomed after the construc- tion of the Northern Pacific, is being also abandoned, and the vacant houses are very numerous. The value of the deserted property in farma, farm houses, villages and towna, Mr. Askwith estimates at mil- lions of dollars. The scene he describes is exceedingly depressing and desolate.

licenses. The bill simply recognizes the public evils incident tu the eale of liquor, and is merely preventative of those evils. 1: provides tha: liquor shall not be sold ia Charlottetown except ona ground floor open to view in its entire exterior, without partition or screen, containing as Gxed fur- niture therein nothing except & counter not exceeding three feet ia height, having only one entrance or exit, and that one on and facing oe of the public streets of the city, etrect *% WIiii- to afford

Equally 65 is that which says that ‘* No sale of liquor shall be made in said city to any person from or after the hours of six o'clock om Saturday afternoon till seven o'clock on Monday morning thereafter ; nor shall any sale be made on other days of the week from ten o'clock at night until seven o'clock in the forenoon of the next day.”
The police are given power to go in and search premises in which violations cf the law are suspected. The fines and penalties which may be imposed for any infraction of the law to be ed are—as they ought to be—high. hey may be as high as one hundred dollars, or three months itprison- ment, at the discretion of our excellent Stipendiary Magistrate.
The bill has evidently been framed by one who understands the conditions as to the liquor evil which exist in Charlotte- town. It may be opposed (1) by extreme liquor dealers—those who are anxious to make money out of drunken men and their families, aud (2) by extreme temperance men who still want to see the Seott Act law in Charlottetown and whe still think that ** Free Rum” will sooner or later necessitate ita restoration.

* Palsely Accused A LARGE audience attended at the Lyceum last evening ito see the

country led, falsely accused. Mr. J. J. Macdonald played “Jonathan RK sedale’”’ (Jaaper's father) very aceeptably, aod Mr. Frank Murpby'’s ‘Claude Rosedale,” was very careful im- personation, Mr. P. D McGuigan played
the part of ** Jonas under,” the villian of the piece, in splendid form, and Mr. A. C. McKachern also did well as **Humphrey Higson.” The two eccentric sports, ““Blinkey Brown” and “‘Squinty Smith,” were very amusing. The firat mentioned character was taken by Mr, Frank Trainor and the second by Mr. D. Campbell. The reiwnaining characters in the play were taken by Messrs. Johnston, Gauthier, Mor- risou and others, The court and prison ecenes wers very carefully arranged and were greatly appreciated. The College orchestra furnished good music during the evening
