“Civic Reform.

We constantly hear complaints about the state of the city.—its rotten sidewalks, its rough streets, the dried-up fountain, se untrimmed trees. A former resident, just returned, says that fifty dollars would be well expended in whitewash. Ancther, who has been away for a short time, de- clares that he seems to have gone back fifty years as he contrasts Charlottetown with the cities of the mainland. A taxpayer points to workmen engaged takiag : dust from one part of a street and dumping it down in another, and exclains that the money expended for this purpose might as well be thrown away. Anon, we see a drunken man reeling on the street or fight- ing at a street corner, and a chorus of voices calls for better enforcement of the laws. A citizen, who is anxious about the health of the city, points out that the poor, unable to afford the cost of water taps, and deprived of the water-carts of former years, are compelled to take the water they drink from the wells—receptuacles of the filth from deep sewage wells—and asks why public fountains are not provided in the poorer sections of the town ?

To all complaints and questions of this -kind Tue Examiner replies that the city cannot possibly be much improved in re- spect to matters of common interest and importance until after a measure of civic reform has been carried. So long as Char- lottetown is practically governed by a small minority—made up of not the most intelli- gent of its citizens—so long will its interests be neglected, so long will it reflect disgrace rather than credit upon the whole body of the Corporation. We have so often called attention to this proposition that every one now admits the truth of it. A measure fof reform, hastily prepared, was introduced last year. It was submitted to the legislature late in the session, it was opposed by those whose interests clashed with it, there was no time to amend it, and if was logt—as a matter of course. Shall we, by postponing consideration of the matter until the beginning of the next session, risk another failure to obtain civic reform? Or shall we, like reasonable, pub- lic spirited citizens, take time by the fore- lock? Shall we at once, or as soon as pos- aible, set abuut the preparation of a meas- are under which the rights and interests of the whole corporation will be represented? Shall we appoint men to prepare a measure adapted to the conditions and necessities of the town? Shall we take steps to ensure the passage by the legislature of the measure 86 prepared ? The bill which was lost last session simply provided for a change in the Ward system. Exception to that measure was taken on the ground that under it the distribution of wards would be unfaiz. Discussion of this issue demonstrated the impossibility of dividing the town in such a way that absolute justice would be done to every section of it. Now, would it not be well in view of this fact to reconsider the advisability of abolishing the ward gy8- tem and of giving to each citizen the «ight to vote for say, five or six or seven or eight Councillors so that each councillor may be elected by the whole corporation instead of by a section of the corpora- ion and that no part of the town or any class of its citizens will have cause for com-

piaint on the ground of unfairness? A majority of our citizens are, we believe, in favor of the

the proposed abolition. Every private cor- poration elects its directors by the votes of the whole body of shareholders. What are the City Councillors but directors for the whole body of the citizens? If then, pri- vate corporations—no matter how large— elect their directors in this way, why not the small city of Charlottetown? The neighboring town of Summerside elects each of its councillors by the votes of the cer- poration. Is there any reason to suppose that a mode of election which works ad- mirably in Summerside would not work well in Charlottetown ? While the measure of last session was being discussed, several influential members of the Legislature stated in emphatic language, their preference for the system in vogue at Summerside, and there is good reasdn to suppose that a measure containing this principle would pass more easily than one involving the continuance of the ward system—one which must, of necessity, strike at sectional interests, and, therefore, excite opposition,

If there be good reasons for a continu- ance of the ward system, we should like to hear them. If there be good reasons why a system of election which works well at Summerside, would not work well in Char- lottetown, we should like to hear them.

ft is important that we come to an un- derstanding as to the best principle to in- corporate in the measure of reform which must be submitted to the legislature, which is inevitable !

Therefore, if anyone thinks that the ward system is best, let him declare the | grounds for his belief. The good reasons | which lead to the conclusion that the elec- | tion of each councillor by the whole curpor- ation would be preferable to the ward sys- tem, must of course give way to better tavanees, favor of the latter, if such cum be

Missing Man McLean. AN INVESTIGATION.

Between five and six o'clock last evening the body of a man found in the woods about a mile from

Pond. The body was face downwards, and unrecognizable. But from the watch in

in the pocket, and the clothes, as well as from the fact that a man was seen walking in that direction in the morning of the day on which he disappeared, it is believed that the body was that of McLean, who dis- appeared so mysteriously in the midst of last winter. :

A coroner’s jury was empanneled this forenvon, and some evidence was taken. The investigation was then adjourned in order that a closer examination of the body might be made.

Notes and Comments.

—A Chicago exchange says: ‘‘ Erastus Wiman bears the distinguished honor of being the platform maker of the Liberal party of Canada !” The Methodist Conference in session at Ottawa adopted a resolution introduced by Dr. Douglass memorializing the general conference to establish an order of deacon- esses similar to the sisterhoods of Christian workers in the Anglican and other churches.

—The Dominion Government intends to largely extend its telegraph lines this sum- mer. A cable 25 miles long will be daid| from Antieosti to the North Shore of the! St. Lawrence, securipg direct communica- tion, so that fishermen along the North| Shore will get information xespegting the supply of bait at considerably less rates: than they haveto pay at present. Other} cables to and from the adjacent Islands] near British Columbia, Cape Breton and} New Brunswick, in the Bay of Fundy, are also to be constructed,

Horse Notes.

Telephone, formerly owned in P. E. Island, but now in Hudson, Mass., won the } third heat of the 2 34 class at New Haven, Conn, recently in 2.383. He was second in the fifth heat in 2.924,

The race horse Jess Armstrong, who broke one of his forelegs at St. Louis not’ long agu, was recently put to death by chloroform. It was attempted to save his life by amputating the wounded leg, but after the operation was performed it was seen that it was not successful, and the ani- mal was put out of its misery.

About two years ago Mr. T. J. Etter, of

Westmorland Point, %oyght from parties on the Island a mare by Alright, for which he paid $188. She was at that time in foal! to Administrator, and a fine filly was the result. The mare was afterwards bred to Sir Nutwood, owned by A. B. Etter, Amherst,and a short time ago Mr. ‘ of Calais, owner of the popular stallion, Q!ympus, bought both the mare, again: in foal to Nutwood, and the filly by Nutwood, for $450. Mr.——--—offered $300 for the Administrator colt, but Mr. Etter will keep her as a brood mare. A striking feature df the sale was that the buyer had never seen either animal, but said that he was safe in buying the stock of Nutwood witheut seeing them. Hermit, the winner of the sensational Derby, in 1887, which was run in a snow- storm, and for which 66 to was bet against him, died last week from old age. The horse belonged to Henry Chaplin, now Minister for Agriculture, who won a for- tune by the animal’s victory. It isa well- known story now how the then Marquis of Hastings had gtolen away Chaplin’s af- fianced bride, and i¢ was the Marquis who bet against Hermit as long ag he could find any one to lay money on the horse. Chap- lin himself was chief backer, and he had the satisfaction of half running the man who had robbed him of his intended wife. Beyond his winning of the Derby, Hermit was rather a failure as a race-horse, but at the stad he produced more prize winners than any other stallion, and yielded his owners a princely income. His progeny won in stakes alone £315,968 in England, and £27,343 in France.
