not te settle great questions—-and then the smaller it is the better it will effect its pur- pose. In the next place, the Bill enacts that the Mayor and all the present Coun- cillors shall go out of office on a certain day in February next, and that ‘‘on the same day in every second year, thereafter, the Mayor and all the Councillors shall go out of oftice.” This, also, is a good feature.

Che civic battle that is to be will proba- | bly rage around the question of representa- tion. Councillor Morris has already pro- tested in vigorous language that the Bill is so unfair in this respect as to be unworthy of Russia. Lf Ward One is to be wronged under the provisions of the Bill, so also are Wards Two and Three ; and if the citizens of these Wards should advupt the view of Councillor Morris, the contest will practi- cally resolve itself into a struggle between them and the residents of Wards Four and Five. Everyone ought to regret a civic civil war of this kind—which is, however, but one of the results of the Ward system. The principal question involved seems to be as to the relative influence which man- hood and property should exercise in the control of civic affairs. If property is to be placed in a position of equality with manhood, Councillor Morris is, undoubted- ly right. But if the control is to be placed in the main body of reputable, rate-paying citizens, if the People and not Property ought to possess the chief influence in the conduet of civic affairs, then it is hard to see how his contention can prevail.

A New Departure.

THe act passed at the late session of the Legislature relating to the abolishment of trial by jury, unless five days’ notice shall be previously given, came in force on Wed- nesday last, and, we understand, applies to all cases now pending m the Supreme Court. The court opens at Georgetown on next Tuesday, and we learn that, no notice of juries having been given in terms of the the new law, all the cases for trial will be tried ky the presiding judge, without a jury. There is quite a heavy docket, con- sisting of one libel suit against the Patriot newspaper; an action against a returning otticer for refusing to give a person a ballot the last Dominion election, besides a number of ejectment and trespass cases. There being no criminal cases, the petit jury will only be in attendance one day.

It is said that at the last meeting of the Executive Council it was decided vo dismiss Mr. Benjamin DesBrisay from the Registry Office, Mr. John P.

other changes have been made, but we have been unable to ascertain whether the rumors are correct or not.

Desirable Route to New York.

The New York Steamship Co. have placed the steamship City of Columbia, a first-class passenger ship of -neariy 2,000 tons, on the route between New York and St. John, calling at Eastport and Yarmouth coming and going, leaving New York on Tuesdays at 5 p. m., and St. Jchn on Fri- days at 3 p. m.

The trip along the Long Island Sound, and through the Vineyard Sound, the stop at Yarmouth, and the sail across the Bay of Fundy from there to Eastport via Crand Manan and Campubello forms an attractive feature to tourists. The steamer is spacious and well furnished, has a luxurious saloon, airy staterooms, and a large promenade deck, and is specially adapted to the coast- wise passenger business. She is command- ed by Capt. Allen, formerly of the Worces- ter, an efficient and obliging ofticer, who is well known in this Island. The steamer has full passenger lists leaving New York, and is becoming very popular with tourists and others.

The rates of passage, which include state- rooms, berth, and meals, have been made low to induce travel; the cabin fare between New York and St. John being only 1300, and excursion round trip tickets ' $23.09. The through rates from Charlottetown via St. John are $18.00 to New York, and &31.95 return. Parties taking a holiday, wishing to visit New York, can take an enjoyable sea voyage by this route at a very moderate cost. Passengers from P. EK. Island can vary the reute and go or come via Pictou, embark- ing at Yarmouth, and thus enjoy the beautiful scenery through the Annapolis Valley.

The company is represented here by Mr. F, T. Newbery, from whom further infor- mation can be obtained.
