It must puzzle angels to understand why some men make so much noise in church with their mouths so little with their money.

A SECONDARY CONSIDERATION,

Sir,—I hear’ some persons argue that we ought to elect Mr. Dawson becauxe the Governor-General will be here next year, and Mr. McLean is not so well up “ the etiquette of society—don’t you see.” This, it seems to me, is a very ~econdary consideration, and I believe that in such a case Mr McLean would act the part of Mayor just as well as Mr. Dawson. The people who talk in this way forget that the Governor-General is a Scotchman and that nothing would please him better than to see the son of a Scotchman and a self- ; made man inthe place of honor among his citizens.

| MR. HORNE CRITICISED. Sir,—I was more than surprised at Mr. Horne’s letter in your valuable paper. Mr. Horne and his friends should be the last men to raise the religious cry, who were most instrumental in the changing of the wards, that brought about this state of things. If he talked this way in his can- vass to Protestants I would giv him credit for being consistent, and if we are to believe him sow, why did he not resign in favor of some liberal-minded Roman Catholic ? The truth is, Mr. Charles Heartz routed them, and to him should the credit be given. We will know next time who to

| support. One or His Supporters. THE ENGLISH OF IT.

Sir,—In looking over the act of our House of Assembly at its last session, 1 find a law laid down for the second p:p constru tion; aad when you read it you will be able to see the motive power that prompted the Water Commissioners to bi so eager for the second pipe. Cap. 11, page 125, 56ta Victoria, read+ as fol- lows: “Be it therefore enacted by the Administrator of the Government Councii and Assembly as follows: Ist, That tu enable the Water Commissioners to con- struct such second main pipe, the total cost of construction of the said water work now limited to the sum of two hundreu thousand dollars, is hereby enlarged and extended to the sum of two hundred and twenty thousand dollars, or as much there- of as shall be necessary to defray the co-t and expen<es of such second main pipe, for whict extended or enlarged sum de- bentures mav beissuedand floated in manner as provided and directed by the sai i Wate:- works Act of 1887. And that all the pro visions, clauses, enactments and penaltie contained in the said last mentioned Act shall apply and extend to the second main pipe woile under construction, and when completed, and that all by-laws, rules, ratex and regulation< made and passe: under and by virtue of the eaid Act shail |also apply and extend to the said ex tended work under this present Act as fully as if the second main pipe had been mentioned in and completed by vir- tue of the said Charlottetown Waterwork~.’

It can be easily seen by this Act that al the rules and rates of the former Act wii come in force when the first sod is turne: forthe second pipe—the two thousan dollars a year, likewise! Now is you time, fellow-citizens. If you are not sat- isfied with Mr. McKinnon, you have a

chance to set him aside If you wish, you can stop him from trying t

close your pumps again. If you wish, now is your chance. A change some- times is required.

A CITIZEN PROTESTS.!

Sir, —The citizens of Charlottetow: have been grossly betrayed in the matter of the civic nominations held yesterday. The late Mayor Haviland, and Councillor- Crabbe, Beer, Hogan and McKay publicly announced themselves as condidates fo: re-election, and by so doing pledged them- sel es to serve. Mr. Haviland received a requisition signed by citizens generally, ir- respective of creed or politics He pub- licly accepted this nomination and induceu citizens to pledge him their support. In like manner, Messrs. Crabbe, Beer, Hogan and McKay canvassed for votes as Coun- cillors. After holding themselves ont as candidates for the offices until the last moment of nomination day, these gentle- men (!) betrayed the trust and confidence unplicitly reposed in them and without afy intimation whatever, allowed other candidates to fill their places unopposed. Some of these candidates were not even mentioned as such for the wards in which they nominated until their nomination and election ye-terday. No language can be used strong enough to condemn such a flagrant breach of faith as has thus been practised upon the citizens of Charlotte- town. Let us look for one moment at what this conduct if publicly tolerated may result in? Men holding such posi- tions may thus delude and betray the pub- lic into belief that they are prepared to ac- cept the trust of Mayor and Councillors, and by holding themselves out as candi- dates may prevent worthy men from offer ing in their places. Then by their with- drawal at the last moment, when it is too late to obtain other candidates, they have it in their power to foist upon the city a council in no sense possessing public con- fidence.

It is fortunate for the city’s intereste that there is good reason to believe that the gentlemen elected will form as good, if not a better board than their predeces- sors; but this fact affords no cause for the unjustifiable conduct of the retiring Mayor and Councillors. Yours,

Ay Inpienant Citizen.
