“St Lawrence” aod “Princess of Wales” | have been detained in port at the instasce of the Inspector of Steamboats.

It will not be difficult to demonstrate clearly to everyoue who is not completely blinded by party prejadice, that the Gov- ernment is entirely blameless in this matter, that had they interfered with the arrangemeats of the Inspector they would have done so, not only in oppos- ition to the ordinary reasonable pro-| cedure in cases were professional men are employed, but in direct violation of the law; and that their action in the premises, instead of beiag blame-wortby, | is commendable.

The argument contained in our re-| marks on the letter of Dr. Jenkins, as to the principle cn which the action is) based, cannot be successiully assailed ; | and here is the law in which the prin- ciple is crystallized and on which the steamers are detained :—

* o . . « - *

any In- spector of Steamboats is hereby empowered to detain any steamboat on board or in respect of which the provisions of this Act have not been fully complied with, or of which the boilers or machinery or the bull, by reason of any in- jury or other cause, have, in his opinion, be- come unsafe; and in case any snch inspector gives notice in writing to any chief officer of Customs that any of the provisions of this Act have not been fully complied with in respect te any stesmboat. such chief efficer of Cus- toms shall not grant any clearance, coasting licence or other document for s»ch steamboat, unless nor until he receives the certificate in writing of such Inspector, to the effect that such provisions have been fully complied with in respect to such steamboat.”

This is conclusive. The withdrawal ofthe steamers was the action of the Inspector under the authority of the law ; and this being so, there is no ground for the Patrict's denunciation of the Govern- ment on account of that action.

Of this fact the Patriot is evidently well aware; for it takes new ground, and urges that the Government is guilty of a grave offence in having refused to enter into ‘‘another contract with the Company for a term of years.” We ask the public of this Province to read the following explanation, made in Parlia- ment by Sir Charles Tupper, before they come to a decision on this point:

Sir Charles Tupper—‘“‘I may say, with reference to this matter, that we have already stated to the House that, pending the con- struction of the railway connecting the two capes on both sides, the contract has been extended, or the existing contract continued, for steam communication with Prince Edward Island, and it was not proposed to interfere with that communication until we are in a position to take up the whole question in connection with the new and altered circum stances under which the Government will find themselves after we have these means of com- munication with the island.”

We feel assured that all fair-minded aud candid persons will admit that this explanation is reasonable and snflficient. The Government has adopted a definite plan, according to which they hope to be able to meet as far as possible their engagement to provide ‘‘efficient Steam Service for the conveyance of mails and passengers’ between the Island and the Maioland; this plan is being carried out; and uotil the work is completed the Government decline to make a contract exteading over a term of years, but retain the steamers of the Steam Navi- gation Company under the terms of their old contract.

It is to be noted that under the terms of union provision is not made for the carriage of freight. Nor is the carriage of freight a function of Government. Certainly, freight is carried on the P. E Island and Intercolonial railways which belong to Government, but that is a measure of expediency, not of obligation, and is no reason why the Government | should, as the Patriot assumes, afford!

The City Council Meeting.

The meeting of the City Council held last evening was attended by all the mem- bers of the Board.

The usual amount of monthly bills were read and ordered to be paid.

A letter was read from His Lordship Bishop Melntyre, asking permission to erect telephone posts on Great George and King Streets. Permission was granted,

jand the City Surveyor was instructed te

mark the part of the streets on which the poles are to be erected.

A letter was read from John Hatch stat- ing that he had been a servant of the city for the past furty years, that he was now aged and unable to work, and asking for a sma)l support. The letter was lxid on the table.

COUNCILLOR CrabBE asked what license the City charged those peddlers or gam- blers who were cheating people on the public square.

The Mayor said $10.00.

CouncILtor Davy said they had orders to discontinue.

CouNcILLOR CraBse said the City had no right to give a license toa man for gam- bling, and cheating people. No man could afford to pay $10 a day license, and do a legitimate business.

The Recorder said he had no doubt the peddler was obtaining money under false pretences, and if complaint were made, and he were brought before the Court he would give him imprisonment.

Councttton Murruy asked whether the Woollen Factory could be compelled to remedy the nuisance at Spring Park Brook? He thought aocording to the evidence, they could not be compelled to do so, as the evidence did not prove that they polluted the water. This being the ease, he thought a judgment against them would not be worth a brass button. He, therefore, moved the following resolution, seconded by Councillor Koughan :

Whereas, It is generally supposed that Spring Park water is contaminated and render- ed unfit for domestic use in consequence of impurities flowing into the said water.

And Wivreas, It 1s necessary to ascertain the kind of impurities. and thereby be able to trace their origin, so as to be the better able to know where and what remedy to apply.

Therefore Resolved, That a sample of Spring Park water be sent to a competent chemist to be analyzed and reportcd upon,

Without a proper analysis, Councillor Murphy said it was impossible to tell whether it was the Woolen Factory or the neighboring privies contaminated the brook.

Councittor LapNer believed there was no analysis needed. Spring Park water was good, and was used by all the citizens, Asa proof of this he said the death rate was smaller in comparison to other cities where they had water works.

CounctLLon Murrny remarked that there was no registration of deaths, therefore neither Councillor Ladner nor anyone else knew the death rate of Charlottetown.

CounciLton Morris held that the City had nothing to to do with the Brook. The prosecution was by private parties.

Counq@Ltor McRae said the City pumps required attention. To his knowledge twelve wells in the City were used as privies, and they contaminated all the other City pumps.

An irregular discussion having arisen regarding the injury done our city wells by using wells and deep vaults for privies, the Recorder said as matters stood at present it was a disgrace to the city, and he recommended the city to have a law en- forcing the dry earth system put in force as soon as possible.

CounctLtor Tanton spoke against the resolutiou, and moved that Councillor Murphy have leave to withdraw it.

The amendment was put and carried, only Councillors Murphy, Koughan and Crabbe voting against it.

The meeting then adjourned.

items from Souris.

Again we have the pleasure of recording an enthusiastic temperance meeting in Souris. The gathering at Morrow’s Hall on last Wednesday evening was a thorough- ly successful one, and there could be no

dealing out intoxicating liquors, against the interests of true religion and the public welfare, was noticed next, and the cold indifference to temperance work, which was too plainly shown by those who ought to take a leading position along with the ;}movement—men of wealth or standing in the community, who never, by their presence, showed any sympathy wich the temperance cause, and scemed to care whether liquor was sold or not. The vari- ous excuses which men made for the manu- facture and use of intoxicating liquors were next ably handled, and shown to be utter fallacies. The inednsistency of people who professed to have a Certain sympathy with temperance, and seid, why doesn’t the Government prohibit the manufac- ture and importation of liquors, and then people couldn’t have it, while at the same time, tliese people who professed this sympathy, and could talk in this way, would render no assistance to the cause of Temperance, and many of them encouraged the sale and use of strong drink, by fre- quenting and encouraging places where it was sold, was next pointed out. The Rev. gentleman concluded his spirited address, with an earnest appeal to all present to put temperance principles dinto practice, by abstaining from the use of intoxicating liquors, which has caused so much misery, poverty and crime; and keeping away from all places where they were sold. This would be true and effectaal prohibition, for the people to rise in their might and refuse to sanction the sale and use of strong drink, by practising temperance, and showing those who sold it, that they conld do with- out them. Father McDonald resumed his seat amid hearty applause.

.The above is a very partial synopsis of an address, of which your correspondent is sorry he cannot give every word. It is worthy of the fullest report possible.

The Rev. Mr. Kinley spoke of the Tem- perance question in its religious, moral and eocial bearing. Rev. Mr. Colter viewed it from both a religious and political stand- point—‘‘the question must be fought out at the polls.” Dr. Muttart referred to the labors of *‘the House of Commons” on the Scott Act, and that ‘it is the duty of the authorities to see that Act put in force on this Island, as it ia the law of the entire Provinee.” He spoke to the noble way in which the clergymen led in the work, anc

their right to speak up for everything which |

tended tothe religious and moral welfare of the people. The pity was, there are those who hang back from the work, under some paltry excuse or other cause, and do not come forward and help as ihey ought to do. Rev. Mr. Cameron referred to the difticulties temperance men had to contend with, in prosecuting their labors, and appealed for the assistance of all who believed that the cause of tem- perance isa righteous one, which called for all our energies to combat the traftic in liquor, and the terrible evil of drunken- ness.

The Rev. G. W. Hodgson has kindly consented to address some future meeting of the Alliance here, at such time as may be mutually arranged. Our next public tem- perance meeting will be held on Wednes- day, 21st inst., and the place of meeting will be duly announced.

Vessels are still loading produce in our harbor. Prices range low, delivery is not as brisk as higher prices would demand, and the articles, though fairly good in qual- ity, average something :lower than a good merchantable size.

Our respected ex-Postmaster, Mr. Mc- Donald, disposed of his hovsehold goods through sale at auction by Mr. J. R. McLean, on last Saturday. There was a lively bidding and or. the whole the sale was satisfactory. Mr, MecDonald’s friends propose a farewell supper in his honor on to morrow evening, and he is worthy of every mark of esteem which can be shown him. As a public ser- vant he was efficient, corteous and obliging, and as a private member ot the community he is a gentleman. We all hope that ‘good luck” may ever attend him, whether at his Island home or away at the West of our broad Dominion.

The heaviest S, E. gale we have experienc- ed for some years is now blowing. Out as far as the eye can reach the waters are a seething, foaming, engry mass, breaking wildly apon the shore and dasing hivh over the break-

As we have shown, the emergency was not created by their act; but by the act of an inspector, who under the law, arbitrarily exercises independent powers. That the action was unexpected, extra- ordinary harsh, ill-timed and out- Fageous—a fit subjec: for investigation and Parliamentary enguiry—is un- doubtedly true. “But the Govern-| ment could not be justified had; they interfered with it.
