Dialogue.

COUNCILLOR JAMES AND ELDER JOHN,

Coun. J.

Yer, yes; a glorious victory You certainly have gained; We need not cavil at the mode In which it was obtained.

But now your [dol is re-raised, Why shame our wintry skies

By offering up upon his shrine A human sacrifice,

In former days the people's sins Were borne by beast away, Now; all the sins of all the town

You on the Marshal lay.

Full ninteen years, through storm and shine, He served the city well;

Yet base—Aor base the recompense The years will surely tell.

Euver J.

Well! I must grant you speak the truth; It does seem like a shame,

Bat then, you know, when evil’s done Some one must bear the blame.

The Scott Act people cannot err, Their mission is divine; See, glowing with self-righteousness Our saintly faces shine. Besides, our godly ministers Say, ‘* Fight to death the foe ;” So, if the Marshall’s in the way, ‘Tis clear that he must go,

Eviction is a cruel word, Sore-sight is childhood’s woe ; God grant that never child of mine

Be homeless in the snow

Coun. J, Your Bible reads, ‘‘ Even as ye mete It shall be measured you,” Or what trom others ye expect, So unto others do,

“Give us each day our daily bread, Ye at your altars pray ;—

Yet, fiend-like, steal a family’s bread, This sacred New Year's Day.

Had all your boasted ministers Been to their mission true,

Mucb lighter would have been the load Imposed upon the few.

And since at other vices You saintly people wink,

How can we teach the inultitude It is a sin to drink ?

ELDER J.— According to our righteous creed We keep the surface bright, And every other vice but drink We cover out of sight.

Have mercy, pray, on ministers ; The past doth clearly show

That if they thwart our deep-laid schemes, They too must pack and go.

We want a change ; the police know Our vagaries too well ;

And if we’re temperate, or how long, New hands will fail to tell.

The Marshal might have saved himself, (But this ‘twixt you and J)

Had he but joined the Orient Band And tasted on the sly.

Coun, J.— [ see no ground for levity, No unction yon can lay Against your soul will clear its guilt Upon God’s reckoning day.

You hope for Heaven for what you say And I for what I do;

What marvel that of Holy Writ We take a different view !

Farewell] ! Who rules the highest Heavens, Who lists the raven’s’call,

Shall portion each his just reward And right the wrongs of all.

Our Civie Rulers YEAR BY DISMISSING MARSHAL FLYNN.

CLOSE THE CITY

A SPECIAL meeting of the City Council, called to consider the matter of the re-ap- pointment of City Marshal Flynn, was held om Saturday evening. The Mayor, Recor- der, and all members of the Board except Councillor Davison, were present.

The Mayor read a letter from Councillor Davison explaining that his absence was owing to illness; and adding that with reference to the business for which the meeting was called, he was still of the opinion he expressed at a former meeting. He also read a letter from Mr. John Mac- Masters, asking permission to remove his

bed to the vacant room over the Police Station. Councillor A. A. McLean then presented

the followiug petition and moved, seconded by Councillor Morris, that it be received and read :-

To His Honor the Mayor Councillors of the City of Charlattetown,—

GGENTLEMEN,—The petition of the under- signed taxpayers of the City of Charlottetown on behalf of Thomas Flynn, Marshal of the Police Force of said city, humbly sheweth that Thomas Flynn, by a late order of the City Council, has been given notice that his services will be dispensed with after the thirty-first December, instant.

That your petitioners are tully persuaded that Marshal Flynn has always faithfully performed his duties in his capacity as Marsha! of the City Police Force.

That we are satisfied that his dismissal has been advised by a smull committee of the citizens who do not by any means represent the views of the majority of the taxpayers in this case.

That the summary dismissal of a competent and faithful servant who has fora period of nineteen years worked in the interest of the people of Chaglottetown is, in the opinion of your petitioners, an act of unprecedented cruelty.

That it seems strange to your petitioners that so few of the citizens of Charlottetown whose names are appended to the petition for his dismiissal shouldhave such weight with your henorable body.

That we, your petitioners, can testify to the faithful manner in which Marshal Flynn haa discharged his duties, and that often under many and trying circumstances as Chief of Police of Charlottetown.

We therefore humbly pray that you will reconsider your recent action as to the dis- missal of the said City Marshal, and have him reappointed in his present position on the thirty-first of December, and we, your petitioners, will ever pray.

Signed by about 800 citizens.

He supported the petition in 4 lengthy speec” dwelling upon its importance and to the great injustice of the order of dismissal which this petition asked to have reversed. He mived, seconded by Councillor Byrne,
