THE DAiLY EXAMINER, CHARLOTTETOWN, FEBRUARY 24, 1699
THE DAILY EXAMINER
FEBRUARY 24, 1899.
It WONT DO, GENTLEMEN !
Tv oveve ie the argument brought for- ward by the Government’s apologiets in view of the facts submitted by Mr. Dillon aod Tae Examiner. Well, tu quoque is not much of an argument in any case— Jeast of all in one which involves a “busi- ness is business” Government and which is nos applicable to the matter in hand.
We readily admit that the mails were delayed in other years. But the condi- tions were not then what they are now. The Patriot instances the delay of tLe year 1895 and Tne Examiner's rewarke there- nupoo. These remarks show that, though supporting the Government of the day, Tue Examiner was then, as now, alive to the interests of the public and mot apologizing for the, administration or striving to ex— plain away facts set forth by our men of business ; and (2) that the Cape Tor- mentine railway, which at that time had the carriage of our mails, wae allowed to be biccked with snow for a considerable time after the P. E. Island railway had been opened throughout. What are the facts now? The Cape Tormentive rail-~ way is in Operation and its trains are car- rying passeogers right along at the rate of twenty mi.es an hour, while our mails are creeping over the country roadsy drawn by horses, some of the bags drupping off to be picked up -next day, at the rate of two or three miles an hour.
It won’t do, gentlemen. The cases are not parallel. An excuse for the present Liberal Government cannot be found in the conduct of the past Conservative ad~- ministration, or in anything that the Examiner bas published editorially.
The delays of our mails in the past week were predicted by the Examiner shortly after the arrangement was anounced, aud the Government was exhorted to renew their negotiations with Semator Wood in order that there might be no delays when the roads became bad :
“It is not at all likely” we said, “that that Serator Wood would be unreasonable in his demands in the face of the odium which he and his railway are certain to incur in this Province, aud also the loss he must sustain, if he should force the Government to makea permanent ar- rangement with etledge drivers. On the other hand, wesubmit that the Govern- ment ought not, for the sake of fostering alittle clique of Liberals at Sackville, to incur the universal blame that will justly be heaped upoa them if they fail to exert their utmost efiorts to conclude a bargain for the carriage of our mails by the only means by which close connections can be made.”
If our representations bad been seconded as they ought to have been by the Patriot and the Guardian, expressing public opin— ion in the Province, it is pot unlikely that this Government would ere this have been aroused to the necessity of substitu~ ting @ special train for their horses and sleighs—unless, indeed, the cost But the Patriot fearing to anger the
powers that be at Ottawa, said nothing, -
were altogether unreasonabl:. and the Guardian, aod so we have our letters and papers four or five days late, while there have been longer delays in the carriage of the outgoing maile,
Perhaps the Government organs will, even now, represent the facts, and use their to bring about a new

SIR CHARLES TUPPER’S VIEW.
Str Cuartes Turrer thinks that no surprise ought to be felt at the failure of the Washington negotiations. In view of the Libera! record it is vain for theexisting Liberal Government to hope for favorable consideration from the United States. The Canadian Commissioners are the same men who in 1891 proposed unrestricted reci. procity with the United States, adopting the American tariff for Canada against England ; they are the samejmen who, nct satisfied with stultifying themselves in this
way, followed up their pretended discrimivation in favor of Eng lend by giving a free list o;
i
714 per cent. of tbe total free list of Can- ada to the United States; they are the same men who, when they increased the duties on almost every article coming from England before they made their boasted reduction under the preferential clause, greatiy reduced the duties on iron; wheat, flour and @ great many other articles coming from the United States, and made corn free. In fact, they are the men who gave everything away to the United States, and then went with empty hands to Quebec and Washingtos to negotiate @ reciprocal tariff !

TO MY WIFE,
Sweet lady, queen star of my life and
thought, Whoee honor, heart and name are one with mine. Who dost above life’s troubled currents shine With aclear beam that oftentimes hath brought The storm-toseed spirit into barbours wrought By love and peace on life’s rough margin- line, — I wish no wish which is not wholly tbine. I hope so hope but what thyeelf hast sought
Thou losest not, my lady, in the wife, The golden lovelight of our earlier days ; Time dims it pot; it mounteth like the
sun,
‘Till earth and sky are radiant. Sweet, my life Lies at thy feet, and all life’s gifts and praise, Yet are they nought to what thy knight bath woa,
— From “My Lattice and other Poems,” by Frederick Geo. Scott,
tien Gadteeeenainemeneninete anmaeaeet CITY INCORPORATION ACT.
“Take heed what you say, sir! An hundred honest men! Why if there were so mavy i’ th’ city, ‘twere enough to for~ teit their charter.”
Sir,—The charter referred to by Shir-~ ley must have been a bad one. Ours is bad enough but not so much in disrepute that eight or ten honest men covld not save it. To forteit the charter as we now have it would be as agreeable to the citizens as the sacrifice cf his “ mother-in-law and all his wife’s relations’ was to Mark Twain. A charter is supposed to be a symbol of liberty and to confer powers of self government vpon the recipiente. Ours onthe contrary rather inclines to a system of bondage laying burdens on supposed beneficiaries, and making auto- maions of our civ'c representatives, as one of our city councillors has been heard to fittingly protest against occupying a position in which he is little more than a“‘iax -gatherer for the people.” A machine to collect and disburse taxes in @ previously prescribed way is practi cally what our councils are. Some of the large cities haye already started a cru- sade aguinst being treated like ehildren in a nursery. They claim very properly that the citizen reared and educated in the metropelis is fully competent to manage the city business without going to the legislature at every session to ask country members to legisiate forthem. The city government should have almost as much freedom in the management of their own affairs as the provincial assembly heave under the terms of confederation. There ehou!d be a few restrictions such as limitation of borrowing power, interference with rights of pro- perty or citizenship and of previously guaranteed rights and the governor in coun cil right to veto or disallow eity bye-iaws which might prove seriously objectionable. Subject to these restrictions the city eaculd Le endowed with full governing power. In addition to present power the city council should be permitted :—
Firat. To have full control ef represen- tation with power to increase or decrease the number of councillors, to chauge loca-~ tion or boundaries of the wards, or abolish the ward system.
Second. Absolute control of civic elec- tion laws with power to punish cor. ruption, to fix qual'fications of voters or of councillors and unseat or disqualify for case,
Third. To have full liberty matter of taxation within the city.
Fourth. A more general power to pun- ish for minor offences not now provided for, such as corner loafing, etc., to compel ce—operation of citizens in removal of snow in winter, and a fuller authority to dea) with meats and food products exposed for sale in ihe city unfit for foed.
Fifth. The right to regulate license or tax foreign contractors accepting contracts, or alien labourers and mechanics accepting temporary employment in the city.
By giving tothe city full legislative powers in matters concerning themeelves you would do away with the necessity of appealing to the Jegislature for every trif- ling amendment. The government’s power to veto would safeguard against hasty or improper acts, and ifa mistake should occur it could be ratified at any month'y meeting of the council instead of baving to await the meeting of the legislature.
