My remarks were} made in «a kindly spirit, but I regret to say were not received in the spirit in which they were given.

Mr. Doull, likeoMr. Lawsen, pre- tends to know considerable about spiritual- ism, but*the popular impression is that what both gentlemen do not know about it would fill volumes.

This is the way they are treated by the incapables whom they yearly send to. represent..them .at.the.Council Board. « The sooner they.arouse from their lethargy and make a sweeping change, the better for tlemselves and the fair fame of ‘“the Garden of the Gulf:” > =
The City Council is certainly an institu- tion which Ce mands csreful attention at the hands of our citizens... Never before cid there exist in Charlottetown an institution in which many and decisive reforms were more badly needed. We need ‘a reform in the manner of electing the Councillors, a reduction of their numbers, and, most im- portant of all, a better class of, men. as representatives. To be sure, some of those who at present constitute the Counci) are good men—-as good men go-—-but they are not, in many respects, qualified to discharge the important duties devolving upon men in. whose hands rest, to a Jarge extent, the prosperity of the city. These men it is the duty of the electors to weed cut ; and until this is done we may expeet a continuance of the one-sided misrule and mismanagement which has‘ for many years past interfered with the progress of the fair city of Char- lottetown.

It wasot an unusual sight in some of the Jewer quarters of the city to) witness poor women at the ‘front door sweeping the water back with a broom, only to send it arownd the corner to the rear door, were it was making rapid headway towards the apartments on the second floor. Had the Street Committee done their duty in the matter of opening up the drains, even. yesterday, this would, to a large extelit, hate” béeti avoided. * ‘TPrite, the Surveyor and two or three men were out doing some little work on Queen Street and one or two other places; but they might as well liave been “at home, There should have been as manyflozensout three or four mmenon each ofthe streets, and then citizens would have the satisfaction of seeing that a portion of the taxes they pay had, in one instance, at least, been expended in the direction of improvement. But our Street Committee are not-!‘built that way.”’ Their

At many of the bazaars held in this city and elsewhere during the past few years elections have been held to decide who was the most “popular politician, ~ conductor, fireman, ete.

As a result the custom is rapidly dying out, and» must, with the lottery and gtab-bay nuisance, soum take a back seat altogether,

Apropos of the foregoing it may not be out of place to relate the result of one of those ¢lections which ‘took “place at a church fair in a small community in Ger- many.

Ouly one man, a shoemaker, voted, and as he voted fer himself he was declared te be un- animously elected ** best man.” Comment is needless.

In Charlottetown, as well as elsewhere, many boys and girls, even young men, and women, have certain nicknames by which they are better known than by ‘their real names... In the neighboring republic, however, this practice is inuch more com- mon than in Canada, ‘ome of these names are singularly appropriate. In a school in Georgia, there is a little yirl who rejoices in the natneé of ** Postscript’. Her real name, l may explain, is Adeline Moore.

While looking cver a recent number of an American newspaper, I noticed the state- ment that a certain Philadelphia philan- thropist was in doabt as to-what he should do with $50,000, which he wished to donate. For the information of the aforesaid philan- trephist, Imay say that he need no longer remain in doubt as to the best place to send his surplus. cash. He can draw up acheck for the entire amount, enclose it in a regis- tered letter, sldressed‘ Perey’, Exami- NER Office and” he may rest assured that the money will be well disbursed. 1 will never ask any questions as to how he came by such a large sum.
Percy. The Fishery Treaty.
(The Empire.)
During the progress of the fishery ne- gotiations, repéated ‘prophecies that they would prove abortive were indulged in, and Weehave no-doubt there are some amongst us who would have rejoiced had that been the result ; but the people generally would be glad to learfi,” as they did from our columns yesterday morning, thet an under- standing “ad been arrived at, and a treaty signed by the commissioners for submission tu the United States Senate, the Canadian Parliament and the timperial Government, We publish such information as ean at present be got regarding its terms,as also comments by some of the American papers thereon, and await patiently the full text of the treaty,without which it is impossible to intelligenty discuss the subject. It was inevitable from the commencement that, in a difticult matter like this, there must be more or less concession Om the part of both the contracting parties if an understanding was ever to be reached ; but we have reason to believe that when the full particulars are known it will be*seén’ that ‘the “treaty is framed in such a spirit as will make it ac- ceptable to both peoples.
a
fhe Franchise Printing.
(Albert Co. Observer.) The attempt to have all the franchise
printing done at Ottawa is, we are pleased to see, opposed by the leading papers in
the maritime provinces irrespective of party. The statement that the ‘printing
can be more cheaply done at Ottawa does not appear plausable when the facts are considered. If the cost of printing the first lists were excessive, the government is to blame, as it fixed the price, which ¢an easily be lessened. Then. too, if tha work be moved to Ottawa, new. offices would have to be built, and presses, type, etc., procured, which would require a large out- lay, while under the present arrangement the various offices throughout the provinces ean do the work without incurring much extra expense, provided the lists are sup- plied in good time. Then, too, the cost of living at Ottawa is much’ greater than in the country villages, and therefore printers at Ottawa must needs receive much higher pay than in the country offices. The work would also be performed much. more eor- rectly by parties familiar with the names and P. O. addresses of the’ majority of the voters, than _by strangers hundreds of miles away. oat The people of the raaritime provinces are almost unanimous in their condemnation of the scheme for ceniralizing everything at Ottawa, and they will be bitterly opposed to this latest attempt to eccomplish that pur- pose. The people down here are .taxed to pay for the printing of their share of the franchise lists and they feel that it is only just and fai that the money they. pay. for the..work should _be_.expended__amongst them. The maritime province represen- tatives will therefore be expected to protest vigorcusly and persistently against this latést dodge to favor Ottawa'at the éost ‘of the provinces by the sea. ———__————i—- <> > <a —
