LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.

>

Sir,—-Now, during Provincial election times, it is possible that civic affairs may be forgotten, and it is to call attention to these that I now write, premising that they will not be forgotten long. We, as citi- zens, are supremely blessed with taxation. There is real estate tax, personal property tax, income tax, poll tax and another to which I shall allude to below. Our City Fathers ought to go back to the eariy days of George ILI, and his minister Pitt, and they would find a precedent for taxing every man who wore a watch, if it hap- pened to be of gold.

The imposition of a personal property tax and an income tax is a gross breach ot faith on the part of our City Council, as it was plainly understood and acted upon for several years that the real estate tax alone should be levied on the citizens, except the poll tax on those who did not pay real estate tax. The Corporation has been un- lucky from the beginning. First they went to law for encroachment with the owners of a corner lot in the East end, and lost. They compelled E. Love to remove his work- shop. Now that they own the property, will they remove the remaining encroach- ment ? Next in order was levelling the streets ; then the gas-pipes were dug out ; another lawsuit followed and they lost again. And I] may ~oserve the expenses of these suits in the Supreme Court very likely formed the nucleus of our city debt. The late John Bremner was, in the Mayor's Court, fined one hundred pounds (£100) for an act done in the performance of his duty. On appeal and reversal of the judgment, EK. J. Hodgson remarked the Act was so plain he was surprised any man could mis- understand it. A lad was brought into Court, said to have stolen three hundred dollars ; he was fined twenty-five. This

was so glaringly Jabsurd that it caused the appointment of a Stipendiary Magistrate. | could cite other cases but I forbear.

1 am informed Mayor Beer said the acts

relating to the city need to be amended and consolidated. Just so. A ship cap-

tain once said to the writer, as soon as you get a pair of Yankee boots some part or other will need mending,—parallel with many of our Provincial acts. The late John Breen, of Kent Street, used to boast he could make new shoes of old ones. Pos- sible were he still alive he could ‘‘consoli- date” our city laws as well as he could weld old iron.

The taxes are levied most unfairly. A merchant has, say, $8,000 worth of goods, for that he pays $40 taxes. Most likely he will not sell every article this year, then the the next he will be taxed again for the re- mainder. But the merchants were lucky that Mr. Mason was this year one of the assessors, for there is not a doubt on my mind that if the assessors of the previous year had been reappointed the $8,000 would have been $20,000.

I alluded above to another tax, the School Tax, the gift of a former Govern- ment; in Halifax, when a man arrives at 60 years of age he is free from thai tax. In here as long as he lives he must pay all five. Oh, for some Stephen G. to ring the charges on the city tax curse. When | pay my as- sessment ($10) about one-third goes to the schools, after raising and giving as much education as I could to a family of seven, now, when I am verging on to fotu-score years, I must pay for the education of the children of other men. Mr. Suilivan said he would no more meddle with the School Act, than with the ten commandments, a wise determination, but the words imply what he never intended ; that is that the one is as perfect as the other.

Mr. 8. has received great praise for col- lecting debts due the Province, and in that

case | am not the man to detract from his merits, so far from that I want the City Fathers and the members elect, whoever

they may be, to take a leaf out of his book and collect the debts due the City. Thirty cents per head per year in justice and in equity, if not in law, is due the City ever since the Province went into Confedera- tion. Letthe City Fathers collect this and they will do more good than ever was done by all their predecessors.

Yours, Sir,

‘

Caught in His Own Net.

Srtr,—The Patriot is lashed into fury be- cause of the discovery of the origin of the ‘* New Political Platform” which has been industriously circulated amongst Orange- men and Protestant electors generally, thereby imparting ‘‘ religions feeling and prejudice into our local election.”

The Patriot persists in falsely stating, in the face of the most overwhelming proofs to the contrary, that *‘ the Liberal party had nothing todo with this circular, and none of its leaders knew¥anything of iis preparation or circulation.” Oh, what a whopper Mr. David Laird is put in a

tight place, surely, out of which he cannot wriggle and do his best. He first designa- ted the circular in question a Tory dodge’; now he admits that it was pre- pared by ‘‘certain Orangemen,” but he takes care not to give the names of the committee who, on the 15th of April last, met at the Orange Hall, Charlottetown, and prepared this new political platform. Among them are the Grand Master himself

es

—the colleague of Mr. D. Farquharson — and a far more influential leader . the Grit party than D. Farquharson! Will Mr. Laird dare deny that every mam on that committee are among the leaders of the Grit party? The names show that iheve is not one Liberal-Conservative Orangeman

on that ae It suits the sega of the Putriot just how, in the throes of ¢

, political contest, to disowa the Orange cir- ‘cular, and to make the electors belive that the Liberal party are not responsible for it,

in order tb seture for the candidates of his

party as many Catholic votes as possible, whilst at the same time he knows full well that thousands of those circulars were sent all over the country by the leaders of the Liberal party to Orange lodges and other places, for the avowed purpose of defeating the present Government. In fact, it was weeks after the circulation of the ‘* New Political Platform,” by the Grits and their agents, that Liberal-Conservatives could, ‘** for love or money,” get a copy of it. Yours, Lire. Con.

Grand Entertainment at Cornwall.

—_—_—_—_— evening, House,

teacher,

Tue Concert held on Monday the 21st June, in Cornwall School was very successful. Mr. Coiley, cecupied the chair, and with his usual ability performed the duties thereof. The programme, which was a carefully selected one, consisted of music—both vocal and instrumental—dialogues, &c., was render- ed in a manner which could not but give satisfaction to all present, while the School House was filled with an appreciative audi ence. Miss Lizzie Murphy, of Charlotte- town, played the several accompaniments with her usual accuracy, and in @ manner alike satisfactory to the vocalists and to the

audience. She has won for himself many friends, anda high reputation as music

teacher, both in Cornwall and adjoining

districts. Your correspondent being a stranger to most of the performers, he was

unable to obtain all their names, but there were many among them who deserve special mention.

Mr. Walter Muir’s solo entitled ‘*The Dude,” accompanied by the piano, was ex- cellent, his powerful voice having full scope in which to he displayed. So well did he render ihe character of the dude that he was loudly encored by the audience,-—but as his name appeared for several other pieces on the programme, he was unable to respond. Master Melville Grant's solo, entitled ‘‘My First Music Lesson,” was all that could be desired from such a young

boy, it made one inclined to wish his voice would always remain as it is now, it is so sweet and clear, a wish which, however, we are sure, he would not share. Mr. oss a Ross, of New Dominion, also favored the audience with

some fine singing; he possesses a powerful voice, and with a little more training he will no doubt become an excellent singer. The duet entitled “*A. B. C.” was satis- factorily rendered by Miss Hyde and Mr. W. Howard, they were deservedly applaud- ed. The violin solo, rendered by the well- famed musician, Prof. Vinnicombe, of Charlottetown, was good and enthusiastic- ally encored, to which he suitably respond-

ed. The dialogue entitled “Love of a Bonnet,” was well ars and reflects great credit on those who took part in it, and

from the frequent ‘et bowie of applause which greeted the performer; it may be concluded that the audience were satisfied that they received a treat rare to be had only such oceasions.

The work done by the orchestra was of a commendable character throughout the evening, and particularly bright and pleasing presentation of music and song was included in the miscellaneous selections of the evening. The singing of ‘Moon- light onthe Lake” gave the choir an ex- cellent opportunity to display the good qualities of the singers in its ranks, the members fully maintained their position as a representative choral organization.

It seemed to us they ke spt the two best pieces till the last. The quartette, **Bird Cantata,” was beautiful, and the chorus

‘Good Night,” was as it deserved to be, heartily applauded. The concert was con cluded by singing the ‘‘National Anthem,” in which the whole audience heartily join- ed, and thus ended one of the most enjoy- able entertainments which your correspond- ent ever had the pleasure of hearing in any of our rural districts.

Thanking you for space in your valuable journal,

a

I remain, Yours, &c., RAMBLER. ————=_
