ne THE SCOTT ACT,

Sin,—Now that the Scott Act campaign is in fullswingit isto be boped that the electors will study carefully the question before them and vole conscientiously and for the good of the city and not allow themselves to be carried away again by the triennial imporiation cf paid speakers in support of the Scott Act. It would have been more satisfactory bad the electors been allowed to voie upon their owo knowledge of the working and failure of the Scott Act. As it is, however, they have not been allowed to do so and Mr. Spence is to again appear. Dr. McLeod his already come and is engaged in defence of the law, and it is to be regretted that in doing so he bas seen fit to insult a = major- ity of the citizens of Charlottetown whom he stvled as the lowest of the low because

they ask fora repeal of the Act. Laat night at the Baptist Chapel in this city he 1s reported to bave stated that ladies

LETTER FROM MR. C. B, CHAPPELL

Sir,—In your editorial of yesterday, T notice you say [ am silent concerning the foundation of college. I did not think it n« cessary to speak of this, a8 the foundation will be of the usual ba-ement kind, walls of local stone 2ft. thick with an average depth below the ground of six feet.

Now, a8 to the asylum wal!s—the auth- ority you quote from is not correct.

There is no reguiar basement under asy- lum wing, but a foundation trench wall with an average height of Sft. 9in. was provided for in the contract; but as the plans were m-de in competition, and in the winter tie whea it was not convepient or in fact necessary to level the ground, it will have to be increased in height by about twelve incbes caused by the tall in the land. This additionel heigit all cost about $275.

The real dispute, how-ver between the contractor and myself is not a question ot fuundation wal! but a question of excava- tion.

His contract covered al] that was re- quired in the excavation, and this I deman- ded shou!d be done first. This he refused todo, aud the excavation still remains un- finished. The contractor’s refusal to pro- ceed with th eexcavation, and other part of the work, leaves the Government with full pwr to enter in upon andr -let t] e same.

Mr. Lowe had the word of Mr. McLean

Hie assertion that he has $8000 worth of materiails (as for labor he has per- formed practically none ) on the grounds is also untrue.

His assertion that the delay is cansed throngh po fanlt of his, is also untrue as | ba e shown above; and when he fulfils his part of the contractand the agreement, I am sure the government will do theirs, As to his slanderous statements about myeelf and my plans, through the prese and on the streets, coming as they do from the foul mouth of a man like the contractor of of the new wing to Falconwood asylum, I need care little about.

>> 0 <a THE DREDGE—SOME PETTY JOBBERY.

Dear Sin,—T he Patriot of a recent date, in making an effort to justify the govern- ment ré the dredge, said that a cut 300 feet long was dredged this summer al- ready. I have a personal knowledge of the work “done by the dredge beth here and in other places and can assure you that the above distance uoder proper management could be cut in three or four days. To this private parties for whom the dredge worked can testify. Great praise was uiso given the tug T.A. Stewart, owned by Donald Farquarharson, givingashis authority one of thedredgecrew. Ceriainly the dredge crew toa man will praise the T. A. Stewart. Their positions now haug ov what they say about this tug. But let the Patriot reporter come to Crapaud and ask what is this tug boat like, and ] dare him to print the upani-

mous answer of everybody there. For nearly two -.eeks she humbugged the dredge, and at Jast Mr. Farqubarson had

to get Batt’s boat, and as much work was then done in one day as was done the whole time the T. A. Stewart was attending. But how were the boats paid ? The T. A. Stewart while lying idle at the wharf or stnck somewbere on the bank, was paid $25 aday, and when for shame’s sake Mr. Farquharson had to hire the other boat he paid them only $18 a day, while he was at the same time getting $25 aday from the government, aud thus pocketing $7.00 bard cash a day simply becanse he was a good suporter of Davies. He also undertook tosend her to assist the Batt’s boat in towing the dredge from Charlottetown here, getting a handsome sum forthe job. But [have it from the same sdurte of information as the Patriot’ reporter that on the occasion the ‘T. A. Stewartactually turned mght rovnd and

faced for Charlottetown four diffierent times and their hawser had to be let go.

Like a disobedient pig this great tug boat would not be guided by helm or propellor, but right contrary to whatthe Scripture saysabout a helm. she disobeyed. Still the Hon. Donald Fargnbarson got paid,

band that is all he cares.

Oh, when will the inteHigent public meet out justice to such men? I suppose the Patriot will say that the T. A. Stewart was hauled up and repaired. What repairs were puton her? Nothing to speak of, for saw her the other day and she is just the same old. tub she was last summery Yet she will bave this job as long as the Grit party isin power ard who dare say “boo.” I would ask the intelli- gent electors of the West River district to covsider well what they are doing before casting their votes for snch a man a: Donald Farquharson, for it is plainly seen that he is more interested in his own pocket than he is in the ‘people he would like to represent.

SUMMER SCHOOL OF SCIENCE.

For the firet time in the history of the summer school the meetings are being held in the Western part of Nova Scotia, and the reception accorded it causes the meinbers to feel that it has been a mistake not to have come here before.. Rev. Mr. Cameron of Yarmouth, president of the school, has,with the hearty concurrence of the citizens from the Mayor down, arrang-

<1 @ most cuomplete plan of reception and entertainment, and the presence of the best and most enthusiastic educationists in

the Maritime Provinces act as such a stimulusto study that notwithstanding the much and varied entertainment povided the more serious work of the 8:hool is not being neglected. The enrolment at present is 166. The three years in which the largest number en- rolled were 1894 in Charlottetorzn, 108, in 1893, Sackvilie 121, and the presen. year.

On Friday afternoon, on the invitation of Hon. L. EB. Bak the school visited the beautiful Bayview Park, where ex- cellent opportunities were ai'orded for studying geology and botanizing. In the evening the school assembled tor the pur- pove of duing star gazing but the fog and clouds prevented any being dene.

To-day in addition to the usual class work athorough'y practical as well as interesting “table taik” was held introduc- ed by Prof. Brittain, of Fredericton, on the “Revelation of Science to Morality.” These talks bid fair this year to be a noted fea- ture of the school judging from the nemes of those named to introduce the subjects.

‘he weather here is very favorable for Scientific work, the thermometer neyer having gone above 60 degrees yet.
