THE SEWERAGE QUESTION.

Ex-Covncrttor Taxyron’s elaborate let-

ter would, without doubt, be read by ,

twice a8 many persons as it will be if it were half as long as itis. It need not be remarked that the bint to the press is not applicable to Tus Examixern. We have not declined to publish the fair and reasonable representations of those on “the other side,” even when, as in the case of the Scott Act, we were subject ed to un- meirted abuse for doing so. There are two sides to all such questions as that with

which we have now to deal. We believe io eXamining such qucetons from both sides, and we have great pleasure in publishing Ex-Coun- cillor Tanton’s letter as a forcible

presentation—perhaps the most ‘orcible presentation that can be made—of the other side of the sewerage question.

It must be admitted that sewerage will not do away with the necessity for the scavenger. The [yc esessioa {of water- works does not do away with the exertion and expense of washing; but we are not, on that account, sorry that we have the water- works ; and we may not be sorry when we have sewerage, even though the scavenger must stillgo tis rounds, and keepthe town clean.

It must be admitted too, that we shall have to pay for sewerage—thatis to say that the corporation will have to pay the interest of the money requ ired tor the construction of a complete system. But we have to psy for electric lights, tele- phones and many other things which we bad not to pay for twenty years ago. Should we be content to go back twenty

years behind the age and do without these

things, even though our <«xjpenses are increaseu ? Nor will the contamination of the

waters of our beautiful harbor be account- ed a fatal objection to sewerage,— provided the sewage be not washed up on the flats to stink in ‘he nostrils of the people whe. esuth or southwest winds blow. This latter contingency is to be reckoned with. Experiments ought, we think, tobe mad: upon this point. If it be f.uid that mat- ters poured into the Three Tides when the tide is going out will return with the in- coming tide and land upon the flats of the harbor, then the Waring system ought not in Our Opinion, to be adopted. It is stated that a bad emel! is,even now, caused by the few priyate sewers which proceed from the Esplanade ic the flats; and, if so, what

must be the condition if any consi ier able |

portion of the excreta of the town should he landed there?

If those who are experts concerning sewerage had not emphatically condemned the idea Of a sewage farm as unduly ex. pensive we should be strongly incliaed ‘to favor it as more consistant with the econo- my of an agriculursl conmuniy than sending so much good manure out to sea. But as they bave done so we must only bope that experiment will prove to the satisfaction of even Mr. Tanton that sewage placed in the harbor at the Three Tides, when the tide is going out, will not return to the flats.

Mr. Tanton is, if we mistake not, under ® misapyrehension concerning Colonel Wariog’s system. We think that examina- tion will prove that itis not a “toy eys- tem,” nor “‘a partial system,” but a very complete and efficient sysiem, covering the whole city. But thie, again, is & point to be looked into. Perhaps some of our civil engineers, or others who have special

knowledge upon this peint, would take the Waring plans up and explain them for tLe information of the public.

Poe ATHLETE AND SCULPTOR.

A Tale of James E. Kelly's Powers, as Re- lated by a Friend.

Although he is not large physically, several good stories are told about the prowess of James E. Kelly, the sculp- tor whose bronze statues of Molly Pitcher, General Buford at Gettysburg, ‘‘The Battle of Harlem Heights’’ and ‘‘Sheridan’s Ride’’ have brought him fame. A friend of his said of him:

‘‘He has more courage to the square inch than any man of his size I know, and on several occasions he bas been called upon to show it unexpectedly.

‘“‘One day an expressman, six feet high and. strong in proportion, invaded his studio. The expressman had over- charged the sculptor, and the latter de- sired to refer the matter to the main ofice. When the irate expressman en- tered, it happened that a tall friend of the artist was visiting the studio. With am oath the expressman said that he had come for satisfaction.

‘**T intend to smash you to smither- eens,’ he ejaculated, shaking his fist and advancing toward the sculptor.

***Do not wait a moment,’ auswered Kelly.

‘*‘The big man sprang at the artist, and at this critical moment the tall form of the latter’s friend vanished through the back door. Quick as a flash the sculptor jumped behind the enraged expressman, seized him by the back of the neck, and with all the strength he could summon pushed the burly fellow to the front door and kicked him into the street. It was all done so quickly shat the bellicose intruder hardly knew how it happened. He fell on the side- walk, and his face was bru d. He got up and ran away. The tor return- ed to his work, and after a few min- utes his vanishing friend entered tim- idly from the rear.

‘**What have you done with that Goliath?’ he asked. ‘You know I have heart trouble and cannot stand scenes, and so I went out to keep calm.’

‘**Oh, there was no scene,’ replied the sculptor. ‘It wasan actin three kicks and a push.’ His heart trouble friend to this day thinks the sculptor is a piece of surcharged dynamite.’’—New York Commercial.

Mis. George E. Bearns and family of five arrived from St. Jobn’s, Nfid., last even- ing and registered at the Queen Hotel. It is uoderstood that the ot ject of their visit to Sharlottetown is the education of the children.

Halifax has a fine old gentleman named Greenwood, who bas lately celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of his second marr‘sge, who was one of the jurymén ia the famovs Howe libel case and who saw the Shannon and Chesapeake upon their arrival at Halifax after the battle.

The first passenger train to eater Slocan, the great mining town of British Columbia, eaused much excitement and roused the town toa high pitch of enthusiasm. It reached on the llth ult. Ino honor of the event a grand banquet was given in the evening of thatday The big guns of British Colambia were eitber there in per- son or by letter. Weare glad to see an Islander prominent among the speakers. The Slocan Pioneer says: “Replying to the toast the propietor, Mr. Con Murphy, said that he was the discoverer of the Two Friends mine, the property through which the city was first boomed. He and his partner, Pete Schoenberg, bal prospected the grounds on the productof the sale of martin skias and $200 of credit. He said what we needed in this country was not alone capital, but capital backed by pluck.” We hope Con will carry the name of the Island to glory out there in the gold diggings of British Columbia.

- The Deputy Minister of Finance re minds us that after 1903 dominion deben- tures will be falling due almost annually. Between toat-date and 1910, or 12 years | from now, about$150,000,000 of debt will , mature. ‘T'bis-wil! be replaced with loans | at lower interest. “I would respectfully suggest,” says Mr. Courtney, “that the early maturiog of this large amount of mdebtedness be borne in mind 1 consider-

resources of the dominion, inasmuch as every action aff cting the financial! positicn efthe country cannot fail to influence materially the measure of success to be attained in dealing with these liabilivies in a market where colonial finances are yeor by year receiving closer attention and keener criticism. It’sto be hoped that ibe Government will take the bint.
