THE WARD SYSTEM.

Itisqiiite natural that a t`-ity Council

made up of members selected by single wards should be opposed tothe abolitioiiof the ward system. This has been found to be true in other cities when the question of abolition came up for discussion. The

reason is sufiiciently obvious so far as soincindiviilual members are concerned. 'lheycaiibe elected in the wards which they now represent: they could not be elected with the entire city for aconstitu-

gncy. This fact will appeal to thoughtful citizens rather as a reason that the ward

system should be abolished than that it should be retained.

The discussion nt the annual meeting

of the Council on Monday night showed a

confusion of ideas on the part of several

members. They mixed up the notion of ward abolition and cumulatiivc voting,

which have no necessary relation to each other at all. Both Councillor \\~’hear and

Councillor Tanton, for iiistiince in the

questions which they propose to be submitted to the electors have mixed together these two and entirely sepu°i=it.c matters. So far as the abolition

of the ward system is concerned the

simple question is, lifould it be better for the entire body of electors to vote for and elect the entire eight members of the Council i Under this plan the entire City would be treated as one ward, and each elector would have eight votes, but could

give no more than one vote for any one candidate. l

What is called cumulative voting is a

system by which an elector entitled to vote for, say, eight candidates, might, if he chose to do so, cast his eight votes for

a single candidate, or might divide t-hem in any vray he chose between two, three four or more of the candidates. The

system was originally designed to secure the representation or protection of

minorities and has not come into general

will be seen that whether we shall have

‘cumulative voting or not is a matter.

altogelzher apart from the ward question.

We note that those who favor the oon-

tinuance of the ward system cite the cases of the Province and the Dominion

which for purposes of representation in the Legislature and in Parliament are divided into electoral districts. But these

cases are not at all parallel to that of the

representation of a city. There are wide

divercities of interest between Prince County and Kings, or between Victoria and Cape Breton. The different parlia- mentary constitueneios may be separated

by soo rec or even by thousand oi miles. One is a rural, the other an urban consti-

tuency. The principal interest in one

icounty may be farming,in another fishing,

or lumbering, or mining, or- manufactur- ing. One may be wholly English-speaking and another wholly French-speaking. No such contract of interest, customs, and language exist in our little city of Char- lottetown. We live compaetly together,

speak one language, are served by one port, one post oiiice, one railway station. We walk the came streets, are protected by the same police, the came iirc depart- ment, have ono system of water supply, with sewerage and lighting in common.

With interests so much in common we

are, or oiiglit to be all concerned in the capability, the honesty and general char- acter of the men who snallform our gov- erning Council. \Nhy should not every elector have a voice in selecting every

member of the Gouncil 2 Why should the. electors in ward tive have three votes and

the electors in thc lower ward have but one vote? Why should We have equal rights in the choice of a Miiyor and such uneqiiiilrights in the selection of Coun~

cillors? These are questions which the

advocates of the existing system ought to

answer to the satisfaction of reasoning men if they are to maintain their ground.

It is notorious that the ward system in actual working places in the Council men in whom the majority of the electors have no confidence; mon who could not be elected by the City at large, sometimes men of whom respectable citizens are ashamed. Might we not hope for better

things with all the citizens voting together? Would we not :ret in that way men of broader views, of larger minds, who would have the real interests of the city more at heart? This muah we do know that the oitics which have abolished, the ward system show no disposition to return to it, but prefer the new method to the old.

The Examiner raises the question, who

willbe thenext Opposition leader? Ap~ parently the Opposition party are little

nearer to a decision than they were when* Sir.Charles Tupper resigned. The ground is, however narrowed somewhat by the announcement of Hon. Hugh J olin Mac- donald thnt he too has retired from politi- cal life for good. This undoubtedly brings Hon. George E. Foster more decidedly to the front. ” l

The question for the voters of the City

to consider dui-ing the next few weeks is whether they are are to have a voice in

electing all the Councillors, or only one, two or three. as the cue may be.
