THE MAYORALTY.
His Worship the Mayor is entirely in error if he supposes that Tnx Exammver denies, for, a moment, “the exclusive right” of amejority of the citizens of Charlottetown to say — “and that on election day”—to whom the office of Mayor ought to be given. Tae Examiner knows better than to attempt to dictate to the majority in Charlottetown upon this or any other matter. In point of fact, we oever thought of doing so. What we did is what we have a perfect right to do. We laid down the principle which we think shonld govern elections for the mayoralty, now and always. The majority of citizens are at liberty to accept or re- ject that principle, as they deem it to be right or wrong. Itis,in our opinion, in the interest of the city that encouragement be given to capable and deserving men who have served creditably inthe City Council. Citizene ought, we think, to be enabled time to time, in @ practical manner, their appreciation of good work done forthe city. It is important to induce men of ability to serve in the City Council; and promotion to the bovorable cffice of Mayor is one of the few inducements thatthe citizens can give. There is necessarily a great deal that is unpleasant and onerous in connec- tion with the duty of a City Councillor; and the corporation offers its Councillors no remuneration. We therefore deem it good policy on the part of the citizens tc show, in a practical way, that they honor men who have served the city well; and th's can be done by electing such men to the honorable office of Mayor. It is pleasing to infer that Mayor Dawson is of the same opinion in this regard as THe Examixer. Even before Tue Examtver’s article of yesterday was published, he had decided not to “ stand in the way ” to the mayoralty, but to “ give place to someore else who may deserve it.” While are many citizens—perbaps a majority— who will regret this decision of Mr. Mayor Dawson, we feel sure that all will honor him the more 0a account of it. Mr. Dawson has,in strictness, a perfect right to ran agaiu. But, affording an opportunity and inducement to bring forward other candi-

SOUNDING THE TOCSIN.
Tue Guardian urges that the vacant sevaturship ve filled before the meeting of Parliament, and says :—-
“A new senator, and possibly a new member for the Gommons, fresh from the people, might be of signal advantages to the Island just now in the counsels of the Dominion.”
We hope that The Guardian is not weakening in its advosacv of the Hon. David Laird. Does The Guardian mean to insinuate that Mr. Yeo or Mr. Perry can be of greater advantage to the Pro- wince seated in the Senate than in the House of Commons, or that any Liberal ean be selected for election who will give greater satisfaction in the House of Com- mons than Mr. Perry or Mr. Yeo? O¢ is there any man in this Province, in the yanks of the Liberale, who is better fitted for a Senatoria) position that the Hon. David Laird,whom it recommended so highly a few we ks ago? The Guardian's new (but not improved) tone as to the } filling of the vacant eatin the Senate suggests the clatter of ibe tongue of the Bell.

—It has been said by one of the farmers inthe West that every farmer should stuay “cowology.” For farmers in the dairy business this study is especially important How to obtain the cow that will give the wost milk, of the best quality, at the least expense, is the problem 1.0 be: solved by dairy farmers who wishto succeed. Of course there are differences of opinion about this question. But we think that a combination of the Ayrshire cow with the Guernsey or Jersey will be found, upon the whole, to give the best resu'ts in this cli- mate. The Ayrshire with good milking qualities bas hardiness ; and the Guerusey and Jersey give large qualities of the best milk, Breed from the best strains on both sides and ibe best results will be obtained. As in respect to mankind so in respect to the cow; there is & great deal in heredity. But there is also a great deal in careful management and feeding.

THE LION'S GROWL,
—
(Mail and &mpire.)
The British lion is the most interesting of animals. Conscious of power, he loves a certain sort of repose. He is quite wil- ling that younger and leas powerful animals should frisk about aud make all the noise they please. It pleases them and it does him so no harm. When they are en- gaged in that kind of sport he knows they are doing nothing worse. It is wonderful what he will put up with from bis own kindred, and especially from bis own off- spring. They may roll over him, nip his ears, and iwist his tail, and if they only keep within suything like reasone able bounds he does not resent it, but ou the contrary seems to positively enjoy it. Me knows it is the fasbion for cubs and puppies to take such liberties with their seniors and superiors, and toat they will in all probability mend both in manners and morals with advancing years and with enlarged experience. And evea when those of his aeighbors that are of riper years growl and bark, though he calmly and quietly keeps his eye on them, he is slow to give any sign of resentment. But there is a point beyond which it is 30t safe to count upon his forbearance. When that point is reached be stiffens the sinews and summons up the bivcod, lends to the eye a terrible aspect, and his grow] is like the rumble of distant thunder. Then to take liberties with him is dangerous,
One of these poiats in the life of the Liop seems to have been reached just now. If the excerpt which appeared in these pages a few days ago, from the Manchester Guardian, can be relied upon—and the Guardian is generally well-informed—he has given the pelimiuary growl, if not the roar that means battle aud blood, Already he has his paw upon China and his atti- tude seems to say that the integrity of that great Empire is to be preserved, and that whoever undertakes its muti- lation or dismemberment will have to reckon with him, If anything of the sort must take place he must have his part in it. Ifsucha figure of speech is allowable in speaking of the attitude of a lion, he is on deck and be proposes to stay there. Wherever the bear is he intends to lie down beside it, and whatever animal may take part with the bear—whetier they be wolvesor hyenas, or single or doubl«-headed eagles or all these together —heis not to be removed from his pur-
se. And it is pretty certain that events wil’ justify these indications. Already he is a sublime spectable in the midst of so many snarling cars, and ail the while as unmoved as the moon at which the house-dog bays. There is, however, blood in his eye,and a grim determination in every lineament of his couotenance, which leaves no room for doubt that if any monokey-shines are tried with him the author of the miscbief will have cause to rue it. Even the apotheosis of certain princelings who vainly imagine that their mission is to turn the world upside down will not move him from his purposg wigan he is thoroughiy aroused.

IN MORE COMMODLOUS QUARTERS,
Miller Bro;. Have Removed to the Connolly Bu'llding on Queen Street,
The ever-increasing business of Miller Bros. has obliged them to seek larger quartere, and the purchasing public will hereafter f ad them in the Connolly build- ing on Quven Street. The building is on the west sideof the street,and is surmount- ed by a statue of the late Owen Connolly. That portion of the premises which Miller Bros. occupy consists of three large flats. The first two of these flats are used as show-roomse, and the third as a store-room. Off the main store there is a private office for the manager, and off the first floor above there is a well equipped repair sbop. All the floors are reached by easy stairways leading from the rear. The buiiding throughout is splendidly arranged and seems to be well suited to the requirements of the enterprising firm occupying it. The facilitiee afforded the firm for show ing Off their large and_ excellent stock of pianos. . organs, sewing machines and ~every description of musical goods are greatly sup-rior to those they have bitherto had, and they look for - ward with pleasure to a visit from their old patrons as well as from any new ones who may favorthem with a call. The building is heated throughout by hot air, and is fitted with the new Auer light.

LETTER FROM THE MAYOR
Sir,-——Before writing vour editorial of yesterday, re the Mayoralty, a questicn to the proper quarter wonld have obviated your saving that I “ought now to give place to some one else,” and “not stand in the way of any eligible candidate,” a3 you would have asceriained that I am notacandidate for another term of the honorable otlice of Mayor. But, even if I were, it seems to me, that my fellow citizeoe, who have repeatedly shown their confidence in electing me by euch large mejorities, have the exclasive right to say, and that on election dav, what I “ought” to do, and to whom the office “ought to be given.”
Yours, etc. W.E. Dawson. Jan, 22nd., 1898.
A COMPLAINT,
.Six,—The practice of smoking on the “promenade at hockey matches should be suppressed by the managers of the rink. | Last night this practice was indulged in, and clouds of smoke were sent among the occupants of the reserved seats, many of whom were ladies. Pipesas well as ci-
gars were used, and to add | to the diecomfort of those {who had to remain in the vieinity
the odour from the tobacco and cigars indicated that their quality was not of the best. Besides this the language used by some of the young feliows wae not of the choicest de-cription, and would not look very wellin print. Ia the interests of the rink it is hoped such things will not be allowed to occur again. Specraror
Fach took aff his several way, Resolved to meet some ither day,
at Burns’ concert.
