THE CIVIC MEETING.

Both the candidates for the Mayoralty are person~ ally in favor of sewerage; and both say that they will not take apy steps towards it until authorized to do so by the elector- ate. This reasonable advocate of sewerage can desire them to the means

If a majority vete r.gainst sewerage in the manner prescribed, then nothing will! at this it; but if a misjority vote in its favor then steps may be at once taken towards the legislation that will be necessary in view of sewerage, to safeguard the interests of taxpayers, toobtain additional advice (if such be deemed the better system of sewerage to adopt, or to obtain the opinion of a «pecialist concerning Col.

Councillors Nicholson and Hughes gave clear, and upon the whole satisfactory, explanations concerning the civic finances

and tLe insprovements of our streets. Ihe increase of the civic debt, it was shown, was more in esppearance than reality,

$10,000 worth of school debentures having been called in and replaced by civic debeo~ tures issued atalower rate,and raving $200 a year. The construction of the Park Roadway has, however, caused an adiditios to the debt of $6,000 or more. This may be excused by reason of the exceptional

character of the work. But we think that, asarule,the enlargement of the permanent debt of the city ought

not to be permitted revesue-yielding vorke, such as water- lighting. Other cities of greater wealth and larger industrial or commercial afford heavy debts taxation. But Charlottetown, dependent for the most part

upon afmal! agricul - tural community, has well-nigh reached the limit to which it ought to go in that regard. Wesee no need for additional Ex- perience has proved that we can take out of ordinary revenue,every year,s consider- able sum for expenditure in the macad, amizing of streets. In the present year, this sum may be applied to the completion of the Park Roadway; for until sewerage is supplied the work of macadam izing had better cease ; [and after sewerage is com- pleted the may go on again and be paid for, year by year, out of tbe ordinary revenue, as here- tofore, until the whole town shal! bave been supplied with permanent streets and sidewalks without incurring any additional debt therefor.

macadamizing of our streets

Some persons at the meeting, last even ing, seemed anxious that the candidates should come out unconditionally for or against sewerage, and stand or fall by the result of the people’s verdict upon that issue. But we thiok that the method adopted by the meeting to obtainan ex pression of the opinion of electors ia tie better one to pursue. Of course, the personal opinions and leanings of the candidates as to sewerage will be taken into covsideration | y the judicious voter; but other considera'ions will the arrangement be the contest. Considerations of personal fitness, experience in the conduct of civic affairs. etc., will come up for revicw. be notably the case

St. Joha Sun; Mr. Tarte is now havieg hie ture. He failed to get his corres- pondent, Sir AdolpLe Chapleau, a second term as goverpor, but he has seen the parliameotary leader of the anti-Tarte wing removed to the seclusion of the bench, and his place taken by a harmless, new man. Still greater is the triumph be enjoys in the appointment to the senate of Mr. Dandurand, one of his own leading organizers. Mr, Daadurand hae supported Mr. Tarte in all hie disputes with the old Liberals, and will be the personal repre- sentative of the Minister of Public Worke in the upper house, His appointment is a great blow to the English epesking Liber- als of the Eastern Townships. Mr. Scriver, the member for Huntington, an old aed tried member of the party, a mana of ex- perience, imtegrity and good repute, was thought to have the strongest claim for thia seat. But Mr. Scriver is not the sort of man to win the aifection of Mr.*Tarte. Nor is he the sort of man todo homage to that potentate, whom he doubtless deepises and distrusts. Therefore Mr. Scriver cao. net be a senator.

POWNAL NOTES.

Court Abegweit, I. O. F. is booming. Propositions and initiations are coming in to beat the band. Young men are begin= ning to find out that it is one of the beet fraternal societies, and certainly the best and cheapest insurance society in the world.

Initiations on our regular night (2nd Wednesday in each month) were too many and we had to call aspecial meeting for Frie day the 2let inst. Although stormy and and rosde bad, the boys turned out like men, a8 Foresters always do, and we had a grand meeting, after which the amiable and accesplished hostess of the Forester House invited the Ceurt to tea, which, it is needless to say, was all that the most fastitidous could desire and to which ample justice wasdone. A very pleasant hour was spent. Before rising from tie table the Court Deputy, Bro. A. A. Moore, in @ neat speech, moved a vote of thanks, which was ably seconded by Bra. Rev. J. W. Howard and Bro. Henry Wood, P. C. R., which was duly tendered and suitably acknowle’ged by our genial host, Bro G. W. Carver.

On our regular night the Court was treated toa generous supply of luscious apples provided by our wortny ©. R., Bro. Albert Jenkins and Recording Secretary, Bro. J. A. Moore. Every night of meet- ing there is something inviting aod enter taining at Court’ Abegweit.

The pre ~entation was made by Mr. D. O’M Reddin, je. in we peat little speech such as “Young Denny” ovly knows bowto make.

He thea invited the whole party tO ® sumptuous dinner, which was gotten up in Miss Keough’s excellent style, and which, needlessto say, pleased every ove present.

MAYORALTY CONTEST.

THE

S:r,—Ic appears the contest for Mayor. alty,judging by tne voice of the large meet ting last night, is between Dr. Warburton and Couneillor Hughes. Now, Sir, I was canvassed for Dr. Warburton against Mr. Dawson. I promised my vote ard support to Dr. Warburton. I find now Mr. Dawson has decided not to offer at this time, and we have Councillor Hughes in the field.

Now, Sir, I consider Couacillor Haghe s hasaclaim onthe position which Dr, Warburton has not. Ae a friendof the Dee'or’s, I would advise him,retire in favor of Councillor Hughes and give his friends a ehance to elect him to the City Council for Ward 4. Then, if he proves himeelf wortby in that capacity forone term, I feel sure a majority of the citizens would elect him to the honorable position of mayor.

I fiod a great many electors who pro = mised their supportto Dr. Warburton during the past week, when he was alone in the field. Iconsider it unfa'r that eleetors should be bound in that way. They should be allowed to make a choice, and [ think Dr. Warburton would gain in public favor if he would publish, a card releasing electors from voting on account of any promise hastily made.
