Ir has ever been the policy and the prac- tice of our Liberal-Conservative Leaders to treatthe electors of this Province with the utmost candor.

Thus, in respect to the burning question W.

the course of his card addressed to the elee-

of taxation, Hon. W. Sullivan said, in

tors after the formation of his Administra-

tion in 1879:

“Tf after the closest husbanding of the pub ic resources, the Government find 1t neces- sary to continue direct taxation, that system will be adopted which sh ill ve least obnox'ous to the people, and will ent iil the smallest ex- penditure in the imposition and collection of the amount req ired ’

We ali know the result. AfterJthe pay- ment of the legacy of debt left by the Davies Administration, the taxes were taken off.

has been vain.

—Summerside Journal : Mr. J. H. Bell claims that there 1s a reaction in the Fourth District. He is correct, there is a reac- tion, but it is against himself, as he wiil tind on p: lling day, when, if we do not greatly mistake, he will be at the foot of the poll when the votes are counted.

—Mr. L. H. Davies, M. P., was asked to deliver his lecture on ‘* Imperial States- men” at Moncton, when on his way to Ottawa; but he ‘‘found it impossible to acceed to the request.”” Why? He stays here in the vain hope that he will help his law partner and Mr. Fred. Peters to oust the Local Government and ruin the Hon. Denald Ferguson. To this end he is now neglecting his Parliamentary duties, and

after he leaves fur Ottawa he must not lin- ger on the way.

— The Guardian says: ‘* It appears that Councillor McRae had retired from the contest, had been appointed by the ward meeting on the committee to bring out a suitable candidate, and then after Mr. Crabbe had been selected, was induced, on political grounds, to oppose the gentleman who had been chosen. We trust that the electors of Ward Fuur will[give such tactics their hearty disapproval. We want no political party feelings imported into the City Council. Let the electors of Ward Four cast their votes for the candidate whu will make the most useful Councillor, and their choice will be for Mr. Crabbe.”

— The Patriot is an adept at misrepre- sentation. Yesterday, in speaking of the fact that the New Brunswick Government elected fourteen of their supporters by ac- ¢ amativn on nomination day, it says :—

‘* The L berals of the Island should imitate the example of their friends in the sister pro- vince and sweep the field.”

Why is our contemporary not manly enough to tell its readers that Mr. Blair’s Govern- ment is a cualition, and numbers in its ranks some of the strongest Conservatives in New Brunswick. Bea honest, Mr. Patriot. It pays best in the end.

—The Jowrnal reports that ** when the ballots for candidates were counted at the Liberal meeting here on Monday evening, ‘ir. A. McMillan had the highest number, Mr. Theo. J. Clark next, and Mr. W. H. Brown third. Mr. Clark positively declin- ed, and the choice thea fell upon Mr. Grown as the second man. In accepting, ae. remarked that he didn’t see how they sould declare him the chosen man, seeing

hat he had the lowest number of votes, ind he was afraid they had. made a mis-

ake. His words were prophetic, for he will be elected in the same manner on poll- ing day, that is, hg wal Bave Ure lowest

ARTEMAS M‘LEAN'S MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEAR- ANCE BEING INQUIRED INTO——-AN ARREST MADE.

THe mysterious disappearance of Artemas McLean is creating a good deal of excite- ment in and about Summerside. Daniel Noonan, in whose house the missing man was last seen, has been arrested on the fol- lowing information made by George Lemuel McLean, the young man’s father :—

‘*That within one month past, to wit, on the 12th day of Jag, 1890, he, the said Daniel Noonan, did elentoeale and perman- ently injure or kill Artemas McLean.”

An enquiry into the case was begun be- fore Stipendiary Magistrate McQuarrie yesterday afternoon. Several witnesses were examined, among therh being a man named Sherry (son-in-law of Noonan), Nancy McDonald and Ann McDonald, and & man named Gardiner, belonging to Be- deque

Their evidence showed that there was a number of people drinking at Noonan’s on Saturday night, ang that McLean was one of those present. Literon McLean was put to bed. Abvut four o'clock on Sunday morning he got up and tried to get out of the house. He knocked at the doer of the bedrvom of Nancy McDonald, who is a ser- vant at Noonan’s, and she becoming alarm- ed, screamed. Her cries brought Mr. Noonan on the scene, and he removed Me- Lean from the door. The McDonald girl says he used no violence in 80 doing. Shortly afterwards McLean was let out of the house. That was the last seen of him.

McLean, who is a tailor by trade, worked for some time in Charlottetown. He is married to daughter of Thomas Godfrey of this city.

The enquiry was to be resumed this after- noon,

ilisidumaann Our Streets. Sm,—Looking over the City Report just issued for the year 1889, I find that the present City Council have expended on the, —

Maintenance of Streets............ $6,183 43 PIO, ... pds passe cnaeunss 296 36 $6,479 79

Comparing this expenditure with the previous year I find as follows :-—

Maintenance of Streets............ $3,902 10

Stone Platform New City Building. 550 26 Macadamising .o6.....ccscscscegses 2,316 38

$6,768 74 Amounted expended in year 1889. .$6.479 79

$ 288 95 This shows that the present Council spent

on the streets a sum within $288.95 as much as the previous Council did, and have no work of any _per-

manent kind to show for it, while the S:reet Commitiee of the year 1888 can point to macadamizing done on (Queen Street, from Davies’ corner to Dodd & Rogers’ corner, to the street in front of the City Building, and to repairs done on the stone road from Spring Park to Heartz’s corner; also to the stene platform around the City Building. I also find that the late City Surveyor Smith returned the following mouies :

Deena S058 TO ok i Soe $13 87 Cid plank avid, 1687... ... seve deie sss 74 69 $88 56

I have been unable to find any amount paid to the City Cierk this year for any of the above articles, except 28 cents for manure. I presume the present City Sur- veyor would have as much of the same ma- terial to dispose of this year as last; but the query is, where has it gone to? One fact is certain, the city accounts shew no credit for it.

Encouraging Reports all Along the Line.

AN ELDCTOR’S OPINION.

Sir, The prospects for the Government in King’s County are most encouraging. In the First District the two old’ representa- tives will, no doubt, be elected by acclaima- tion; in the Second District Sullivan and Underhay will have large majorities. In Cardigan, Macdonald and Shaw will be elected by acclamation, —.0 less than seven different persons having been nominated by the Oppositionists and backed down! The redoubtable John G. is now in Charlotte- town trying to find some one there who will allow himself to be sacrificed. The latest reports are, *‘no go in that direc- tion.” Inthe Fourth District Clow and McLeod will be elected by the largest majorities ever given the Gov- ernment in that district. In Georgetown MacDonald and Gordon will be elected by acclamation unless the shepherd of the limping flock or the late ‘‘Scott Act vend- or” run for factitious opposition. If they do they will be snowed under. The ob- noxious Tax Act and the recklessness of the Davies Government so pullute the nos: trils of the people that they want no part of itagain, They say, ‘none of that

crowd to rule P, E. Isjand again.”
