THE
Civic Matters—A Suggestion.
Ir is stated that the Provincial Govern- ment have in contemplation the construc- tion of a sewer to extend from the Provin- cial Building and the Court House to the ‘That some such sanitary measure is required, need not be stated. The offices in the Provincial Building are, evi- dently, uuwholesome. Something must be done, if the health of the officials is to be

preserved.
Now, the question we are about to sub- mit is, whether or not the City Corporation should not make common cause with the Government and get a competent engineer to supply the plan of . a system of sewerage from which the Govern- ment and the City alike could work. If the Government have to _ con- struct a sewer, they might as well place it where ic can be tapped by pipes leading from the houses of citizens living in its vicinity, and where it will not be disturbed when sewers for the City are introduced. To have an now may by some persons be deemed premature. But, seeing that the Government intend to act without delay, and that sooner or later, all at once, or by degrees, sewers will cer- tainly be laid down under the whole of the town, prompt and effective co-operation on the part of the Government and City may be at once the most prudent and most econ- It will not cost much to obtain the plan. Once that is obtained, the work of laying the sewers may go On as rapidly or as slowly as the circumstances of the City or the desires of the citizens will per- After the Waterworks begin to yield a little more revenue, jsewers may, per- haps, be laid as required without involving the corporation in any greater amount of debt than it is at present. At any rate, it
will be better, in respect to this matter, for the Government and the City Council to act together. We trust, therefore, that the suggestion here made may be favorably considered.

New London Harbor Works.
—_—-——
Mr. Davies has returned from Ottawa. It would be greatly in the interest of the people of Queen's County if his colleague, Mr. Welsh, would follow his example and come home. We observe by the Hansard Report of the 9th inst., that he has, by his ** tomfoolery,” deprived New London of the sum of $1000, which the Government brought down for the repair of the harbor works at that place. Mr. Welsh denounced the Minister of Public Works because he had not brought down a further sum of $3,500, which the acting Chief Engineer had estimated it would cost to extend the Eastern Breakwater in a northerly direction. Sir Hector Langevin said :—
‘« This amount is placed in the estimates for the repair of the wharf. The report which the hon. gentleman has read is perfectly cor- rect in regard to the amount of $3,500. But that amount was not placed at my disposal by my colleagues and therefore I cannot ask it to be voted by the Committee, and that is the reason why it does not appear in the esti- mates.”
This candid and clear explanation should have satisfied any reasonable man. But instead of accepting it in the spirit in which it was given, Mr. Welsh insulted Sir Hector and declared that the $1000 was ‘‘ no good,” was of ‘no use.” He said, “If it is expended it will go to dead heads, and political fossils will get hold of it for super.
‘ vising, overseeing and travelling, and all that sort of thing. The hon. gentleman might as well take the $1,000 awd rub it out of the estimates.” _ Sir Hector Langevin: ‘*1 move that this item of $1000 be struck out.”
**Motion agreed to. Yeas, 23; nays, 16.”’
Now the result of ourrepresentative’sstupid- ity isthat¢he old work of the Breakwater will go for 4t least another year without re- pair, £od that, too, notwithstanding an ex- per‘iture of several hundreds of dollars, t'\s spring, in buying material and prepar- ing for the general repairs which the $1,000 lost by Mr Welsh’s blunders was in- tended to effect .
Mr. Welsh’s statement, that the money would be wasted by ‘‘dead heads and pol- itical fossils” is a gross slander in respect to New London. It is as muchas to say that honest men cannot be found in New London to carry out an expenditure of $1,000 on a public work in which they are so much interested. It is only neccessary to mention that the repairs to the New London Brakewater which Mr. Welsh has stopped, were being carried on by Arthur Simpson, Esqy,acting under the directions of Mr.G.A. Brown,0.E. Those whoknow both these men will be able to judge what truth there isin Mr Welsh’s statements about ‘Dead Heads” and ‘Political Fossils” wasting the money.
It cannot be doubted that Sir Hector Langevin did perfectly right under the circumstances. Whenthe man who con- stitutionally represents a constituency deciares that an expenditure proposed to
be inade for its benefit is of ‘tno use” and “*no good,” and demands that it be ‘‘rubbed out of the estimates” it would be very un- justifiable for the government, !o persist in voting the money.
The consequences will be that the mat- eriai alreaty paid for, will lie unused, that the work will sustain further injury for the want of repair, and that the ple of Bow Lesion yl safer the penalty due ta , yr, Welsh's folg, ~ :

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. Our Holiday.
Srr,—I notice in your issue of the 14th inst., where quite a number of our_ leading merchants have agreed to hold Monday, the 26th as a holiday in honor of our Queen's Birthday, and in your issue of last evening the Steam Navigation Co. have de- cidedly stated that the excursion must take place on Saturday, the 24th.
Now, Sir, I don’t think that there is any difference between the trade on Saturday and that of Monday. If not, why not close on Saturday and allow their employes to enjoy the excursion to New Glasgow.
OFFICE.
The Fast Atlantic Service.
REASONS WHY THE C, P. R. BACKED OUT OF THE ANDERSON SCHEME.
A special despatch to the Halifax Herald from Ottawa (May 14) reports : The ofticers of the Grand Trunk Railway were here yesterday and were very much exercised over not getting a subsidy for building the extension of the Grand Trunk to the Mari- time Provinces. Although they say the great majority of Parliament are in favor of the proposal, the influence of the C. P. R. predominate. A portion of the correspon- dence relating to the proposed fast Atlantic steamship service was laid on the table to- night. It discloses no material facts not already known. It simply shows that when Sir George Stephen and Sir Donald Smith began to show symptoms that they were no longer interested in the scheme and had withdrawn their subscriptions of fifty thou- sand pounds each. Anderson’s concluded that the project could not be a success without the cordial confederation of the head men of the Canadian Pacific Railway. They therefore cabled Sir John Macdonald that they surrendered the contract. Sir George Stephen in his letter states the reason he had ceased to take an interest in the matter was because the Government would not give the,Canadian Pacific Rail- way a more direct entrance to Halifax, and that therefore for six months of the year the fast service would be of no use to the Railway Company. The letters which pass- ed between the Andersons and Sir George Stephen are models of business correspon-
dence. ++ 0+ ——_—____—__—_-
Gladstone on Free Trade.
HIS DISAPPOINTMENT AT THE SLOW PRO- GRESS OF THE DOCTRINE.
Mr. Gladstone spoke at the Cobden Club on the 12th inst. He said free traders must recognize, with great disappointment, how much ground has been lost by their doc- trine within the last twenty-five years. Militarism, which lay like a vampire over Europe, was responsible for much of the mischief, but not for all, because free trade had receded in countries where militarism did not prevail—in the United States and in the British Colonies. Protection was applied now in America not only to goods but to persons, as was instanced by the treatment of the Chinese. The great re- public had never accepted the doctrines of free trade. At one time there had been a kind of qualified progress towards them, but this was being checked. Opinion be- ‘came actually retrogressive. Still the growing strength, activity and clearness of conviction of the free trade American party gave a favorable promise of ultimate tri- umph at the polls. On looking over the world, the prospects of free trade were cer- tainly not encouraging. This state of opinion had emboldened the champions of protection long lurking in their holes to venture out and renew the struggle under the name of fair trade. Since the adoption of free trade the wages of the laboring men had improved 50 per cent. England was working out a great social and economic problem for the benefit of the world. He was confident that free trade, thoagh tem- porarily discredited, was destined to be- come the universal character of trade, and to obtain the general acceptance of civiliza- tion.
A Roman Catholic Federation.
At a meeting of Roman Catholics, held at Pittsburg, Pa., on the 12th inst., an or- ganization was perfected to be known as the American Federation of Catholic Societies. It is proposed to consolidate all the Catholic organizations in the country -under that name. The main object and aims of the federation as set forth in the constitution are :~-The more thorough cementing, main- tenance and promotion of cordial fellow- ship among the Catholic laity everywhere, and the upholding and conserving of the public welfare of Catholic communities in each and all respects as regards either the advancement of general brotherhood or the vindication of common manhood against any and all ignoble encroachments. In this country they claim to have thirty thousand members. Arrangements were perfected for a grand public demonstration in Pittsburg on July 4th.

(Written for The Examiner. ) Spring at Morell. ’
Once more the river floweth clear, The sap is rising in the trees;
And in the hives again [ hear The cheerful sound of buzzing bees.
The apple-blossoms shed around
Their petals and their perfumes rare; The violets in the woods abound And soft and balmy is the air.
The Mayflower modestly looks up, I pluck it from a bed of leaves; A rain-drop in its scented cup, As if to leave the couch it grieves.
The birds are singing in the grove,
How sweet it is to hear their voice;
Their warblings speak of youth and love,
The spring has come, rejoice, rejoice.
