MUNICIPAL REFORM!

APRIL 11, 1891.

‘We Stand.

While it is to be hoped that the ‘Legislature will be enabled to meet and transact the business of the Province without bringing on the excitement of another election, for some months at least, the civic reformen have new no reason to fear for the accomplish- ment of their purp0O68. 00 .m3“°" what follows. The issue of reform is practically settled. It is evident that it is a live question and one which must be dealt with, and no candidate for the city can have any possible chance of election who refuses to pledge himself to carry out the well- understood wishes of the people 80 forcibly expressed at the polls.

We begin to feel that better days are dawning for Charlottetown. Pub- lic spirit is being aroused, public in- terest is being awakened, in the wel- fare of the city. Let us hope that ere long our Council will be a model coun- cil, our streets and sidewalks all we could wish, our city a credit to its citizens.

It will be very evident now that the power of the rum party in Charlotte- town has been greatly magnified by the politicians. At any rate the other side when united can bury them almost out of sight. Only by holding on to the “Ward system can these people ever exert their evil influence over matters municipal. There is more than one lesson to be drawn from the contest, and one is the fact that pub- lic meetings in the Market Hall packed as they always are with corner loafers, give no indication whatever of the people’s mind.

The Vacant J udgcship

The resignation of Judge Peters, owing to ill health, places another position of honor in the gift of the Dominion Government. I f the proce- dent set in previous appointments was intended to he followed 1 ut Attorney General .\lcL-od is entitled to the Judgesliip. but the impression has got abroad that Mr E. J. Hodgson will receive tin» position.

At the risk of offending one who has no wish to have his name dragged before the public, we cannot refrain from expressing the conviction that, if he would accept it ,the appointment of no man would give such general satis- faction and bring higher attainments and more dignity to the judicial bench than that of Malcolm McLeod, Esq., Q. C. Mr. McLeod is not a politi- cian, he has never sought prefermeut at the hands of any government ; but he stands foremost in the public esti- mation as one who would he an able and upright Judge.

We trust that Judge Peters, whose long and honorable legal career has come to a close, being new set free from the «ares of oflice will speedily regain health and strength, and be spared many years to his friends and country.

A Use for Tramps.

Members of the tramp profession will do well during the ensuing summer to keep away from Delaware. The Legisla- ture of that State has passed a law pro- viding that all vagrants and vagabonds found within the borders of Delaware shall be arrested and set to work mending roads and breaking rocks.

No Summer Milita Camps.

An Ottawa despatch says : The Militia Gazette is of the opinion that owing to the lateness of the coming session of Par liament afnd hthe non-likelihood. of _ the passage 0 t e s ro mations lll time, the usual summer Idiiimlis will not be held till Se tember, “ though no doubt, means mi htbe devised for forestalling the action of arliament. should it be deemed im- perative to assemble the camps at the usual season. In view, however, of the agitation for annual drill of the whole force, and of the disposition of the Militia Department to secure this as soon as pos- sible, the militia might reap considerable benefit from awaiting parliamentary sc- tien before arrangements for the year are made."

Warrior Monks of Sahara.

ALIHIRS, April 7.—At Biskra yester- day, in the presence of a concourse of Europeans and natives and a large num- ber of bishops. Cardinal Iaavigerie eon- secrated the Freres Armes du Sahara. The aim of this band is not conquest or aggression, but to combat slavery. When slavery is abolished, the Brothers will devote. themselves to protecting the feeble, establishing in the Sahara centres for the care of the sick, and opening the interior to the civilized world. The Car- dinal said these men would work without the hope of any earthly reward but that France and the Church would not forget to second their efforts. The Pope, he added, had already promised to devote his jubilee oflbrings to the noble work of abolishing slavery.

Judge Sephen’s Farewell.

Loxnou, April 7.—An affecting scene took place to-day in the Queeu’s Bench division of the High Court of Justice, when Sir James Fitzjames Stephen, re- tired from the Lench. All of Judge Ste- phen’s fellow judges, including the Lord Chief J ustice of England, were present standing, while J c Stephen. seated on the‘be'ncb,' replied in a broken voice to the tribute paid to his honor, integrity, ability and past services by the Attorney General, Sir Richard Everard Webster, Q. C. All present were profoundly im- pressed by the and scene and considerable emotion was displayed as Judge Stephen, in low tones, thanked his colleagues for the good feeling shown towards him and the tears swelling into his eyes as well as into the eyes of many others there, wished them good-bye and left the bench for the last time. Judge Stephen's wife and the other members of his family who were present were also overcome with emotion as the veteran judge expressed his thanks for the kindness which cheered his retire- ment from the high position he had so long held.

Pen Picture of Sir John Mac- donald.

New York Press: Whatever one may think of the political course of Sir John Mscdonald, one must acknowledge that he is by far the must picturesque figure in Canadian public life. He is now 77 years old, but he seems to an in- domitable youthfnlness of spirit. He has a head somewhat of the oblong type, while his features are large and irregular. His prominent nose is rather Hebraic in shape, his lips thin and firm, and his chin is of that delicate narrowness, square withal, which at once denotes the man born a leader among men, with the firm- nessand resoluteness of purpose neces- sary to command. He is clean shaven, after the manner of the old school of poli- ticians, and his hair, though it has re- ceded from oil’ a noble forehead, wrinkled with the cares of statecraft, grows in luxuriant profusion around the sides and back of his head. In his manner, as in his dress, he is one of the most modest of ' men, and in conversation there is something 8llD0rt deferential in the way in which he expresses his opinions.

How Barnum Died.

Bnxnosroa-r, Conn., April 7.—Phineas Taylor Barnum, the world renowned and veteran showman, died peacefully at his home in this city at 6.32 o'clock this even- ing.

Pnrzwirnn CAIRNS, lecturing in Edin- burgh last week on John Knox, expressed the conviction that he had done more than any other one Reformer to save in the deepest sense, the Anglo-Saxon race.

Rnv. C. E. Bursa writes from Harvey, Albert Co., N. B., to the Messenger’:- “ We are in the midst of a very gracious revival, some twelve or more have come forward. The church is greatly encour- aged and strengthened.”

Rsv. Tnosus Cmmrxsss. a Wesleyan minister intimely acquainted with rural England, has come to the conclusion that the battle between liberty and sacerdota- lism has to be fought in the agricultural parts of the country. He looks upon every village chapel as an outpost of Protestantism‘.

" Accosnntc to the best sources of in- formation,’ says the Christian Union, “Protestants are now increasing in America more rapidly than the popula- tion, and Romanists less rapidly. The Protestants communicants number a little

less than twelve millions,)the Romanists .

a little less than five.”

The estimated _ egate of the membership of the Christian de- nominatious is put at 22,000,000, an in- crease of nearly a million a year. Of the Protestant denominations the Methodists are credited with the largest gain, 256.- 359. Baptist branches make 213,702.

Rider Haggard on Mexico

Rider Haggard, who has just returned from Mexico, says “the climate is very trying—-thin air and insufferable best. And the insects! The air swarms with them-—mqsquitoes, ‘jiggers,’ a kind of tick they call ‘gara ata,’ and I don't know {what more! hey make life a misery. and you couldn't even sleep at night for them. I have plenty of material

for my story. I shall take the time of.
