THe DAILY EXAMINER.

JULY 27, 189i The City Bill COMPLAINED | heard that the details ol

the City Bull have not been made known to

the citizens, who have to pronounce apon it. The authorities should, we think, have advertised it in the city papers, which are

read by the people. It is unreasunable to ask electors to decide about a law of which they are not fully cognizant ; and it is not

right that the daily press should be taxed

with the whole cost of its publication. The bill is for the benefit, or the reverse, of the Corporation as a whole; and the City Council should see to it that all citizens

shall have an opportunity to read it and consider well before they cast their ballots.

Phe main points of the bill have, how- ever, been made known ; and we new sub- mit the questions involved :—

Firat.—The City Council is to be reduced to eight members and the Mayor. Is this change a change for the better or for the worse / Second, —Of these eight members, three are to be elected by the electors of Ward Five, two by the electors of Ward Four, Wards fair

be

and one each by the electors of Will

and equal representation if the change

Three, Two and One. there be

effected / be

Is this change desir-

Third.—There will an election but once in two years. able /

Fourth.—All the City Councillors will be elected at each election, instead of only half, ae heretofore. Is this change desir- able /

it will be seen at a glance that the ques- tions involved in the bill are worthy of careful consideration. We hope and trust that they will each and all be considered upon their merits, and with regard to the corporate interests of the city, rather than in respect to this or that ward, or this or that civie party or politician, or this or that recent action on the part of the present ruling City Councillors.

Let us put aside personalities, and party by the hghts of justice, and experience, and common sense,

discords—and_ consider, the questions invulved in the issue to be decided by the ratepayers of Charlottetown on the 12ch of August next.

The Seandals at Ottawa. Because we plead that Sir Hector Lin- gevin. and those who with him are impli- cated in the charges preferred by Mr. Mr. Tarte, shall not be held to be guilty until after their trial is concluded the evidence proves that they ought to be con mourns the obtuseness ' of THe EXAMINER. not be said that the Patriot out good cause,

out-

That the Opposition have so far failed to implicate the Minister of Public Works and the Government in the frauds which have been committedj is shown, inferential- ly, by the great stress which the Patriot is constrained to place upon the fact that Sir Hector Langevin accepted, in 1883, a testi- monial from his friends. The acceptance of this testimonial was, without doubt, in questionable taste. But if we declare that it was more than that, if we say that it is an evidence of corruption on the part of Sir Hector Langevin, what shall be said concerning the late Hon. George Brown, the late Sir John Macdonald, Count M ercier, Premier of Quebec, and numbers of other public men who have, from time to time, accep‘ed similar testimonials? We should be too careful of the reputation of our public men to condemn them as corrupt because of the acceptance of testimonials from their friends. We protest against the conduct of the Patriot and its party in this regard.

Seo —Particulars of the sad accident|by which a child was killed at Souris, will be found iu another column of this day’s issue of THe Examiner. This fatal occurrence ought to be regarded as a warning by all parents residing near the railway, and by all diivers of locomotives. There should b> cmstant watchfulness on the part of

both. Wesympathise with the bereaved parents.

Pouce Courr.—The drunk who a few days agu was discharged on condition that he leave the city within twenty-four hours “bobbed up serenely ” this morning on the same old charge, and was sent to jail for one month. Another drunk, a country. man, was disposed of for $1 or 4 days. ;

Sakeath Desecration.—It is time an effort was made to prevent a repetition of the scene which occurred onthe ferry steamer Elfin yesterday. A gang of roughs from the city tilled with bad whiskey obtained ia the Scott Act town of Southport, returned to the city on the 6 15 boat. Nosooner had they stepped on bowd than a disgraceful fight ensued, the officers of the boat Jooking carelessly on and not making the least effort to restore uiet The combatants at last decided to cmnnlions their pugilistic encounter to night at 8 o'clock when we presume they will again *ppear in battle array. It seemis that the management of the ferry service has not improve Fakiee the new regime, as scenes as above described bave been of common occurrence lately.
