Ir is worthy of special note that not a single point in any of Tue Examrver’s articles on this question has been contro- verted —though abundant evidence has beea given by the Patriot of a will to do so. It has, indeed, been stated that waterworks, unless supplemented by water-carts, will not suffice to relieve us of the dust nwsance. THe Examiner never said that they would. What we said was, in effect, that with an abund- ant supply of water ov their premises, merchants would be enabled to sprivk'e the sidewalks and streets in front of their stores, and thus reduce the dus nuisauce and make it more tolerable. But this is a matter of secondary im portance. The important points made out are that for want of waterworks (1) the city suffers a direct loss, in insurance premiums alone, of $10,000 a year; (2) that the extra risk suffered is equal to at least $30,000; (3) that our merchants saffer losses rangiug from $100 to $300 a year ; (4) we suffer many discomforts and inconveniences uuknown in neighbor- ing towns, while losses by fire are at all times imminent; (5) our city suffers loss of patronage from the wealthy classes who come to seaside resorts during summer. All these facts are practically admitted. And do citizeus require an addition to this array, ere they can be induced to take actiou with a view to the removal of the present council aod the election o! men ready and able to take charge of this matter and save the City from a recurreuce, year after year, of these enormous losses and great risks. ——_-- - Dee « Editorial Notes. —John Kelly, Esq., is the only can- didate for the vacant seat in the City Council, and his election will follow on Saturday next, as a matter of course. Mr. Kelly is to be congratulated on his easy victory. —The Mutual Marriage Aid Asso- ciation has been proved to be a fraudu- lent concera, aud its Vice President and Secretary have been imprisoned on a charge of obtaining mouey under false preteases. The defence is that the As- sociation has been unfortunate and can- sot pay its debts, but will treat all policy holders alike. —According to the Uunder-Secretary of State, the British Government have made representations to the Uuited States Government, “touching friendly powers in regardto dynami- ters.” But Secretary Frelinghuyser says that he has not received any- thing.on the subject from the British Government since the commission of the recent dyramite outrages.” —The rumors circulated at Montreal aod in New York and London that the Canadian Pacific is financially embar- rassed and has had to apply to the Gov- ernmeut for assistance, are officially denied ; and it is stated that the arrange- ments made last session are entirely satisfactory and afford ample means to complete and equip the road by the time stated, May, 1887. —The Patriot proposes to institute comparrisous between the political ability of Mr. L. H. Davies and that of certain prominent members of the Liberal-Con- serVative party. Well, public men have to beara good deal; and we have no doubt that Messrs. Brecken, Sullivan and Ferguson, ete., will survive even this. The Patriot condemns Mr. Brecken be- cause the Charlottetown Post Office is not repaired; but overlooks the f ict, thatthough private individuals can always act much more promptly than Govern ments, there is vot yet, in all the barni district, a single wall above the surface of the ground. As soon as the plans are ready work on the Post Office will, no doubt, be commenced, and vigoreusly prosecuted. ——A member of the Halifax Herald staff hus been writing up P. E. Island— its steamers, railways, hotels, etc. The Herald's representative praises the attractions of Charlottetown and Sum- merside; but says nothing of those of Georgetown, though, judging by recent events, we supposed that Georgetown had superior attractions for Halifax young men. As to the railroad and the steamers the Herald says :— ‘*But while the road may curve a little more than is absolutely necessary, it is nevertheless a pleasure to ride over it. Superintendent Coleman has put it in excellent condition. Trains run smoothly and all along the line there is a general line of order. The railway boasts of two fine first class cars, manufactured at Charlotte- town. They are vastly superior to the old ones, and are cozy and comfortable. Daring the winter season the steamers of the Steam Navigation company have been thoruughly overhauled and are now pleas- ing to the eye and comfurtable to the body. The officers are uniformly obliging and courteous; good meals are served and the wants of passengers looked after, All who seek a few days rest, with a pleasant rail and water trip, may make up their minds to visit P. E. Island and be happy.” —Blaine will have a hard time. Among the journals opposed to him, are the New York Times, New York Herald, Harper's Weekly, Puck, Evening Tele- gram, Brooklyn Union, Rochester Post- Express, Rochester Herald, Syracuse Herald, Flushing Times, \ Boston Adver- tuser, Boston Transcript, Boston Herald, Springfield Republican, Philadelphia fecord, Philadelphia Times, Chicago Times, Chicago News, New Haven Neus, and the New York Zvening Post In the duty of THH DAILY BA. MTIN Ek, oS TWIN addition these the Chicago Inter-Ocean, the St. Louis Glohe-Democrat, the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser, the Philadelphia Telegraph, the Boston Journal, the Worcester Spy, and many other Republican party journals consent to support the ticket, but admit that they have small hope of seeing it elected. The New York Evening Post says, “We do not belicve avy caudidate of any party ever evtered upon a Presidential canvass with such tremendous odds as_ these against him. In this city the Tribune is the only paper which supports Blaive squarely.” te Results of Examination for Teachers’ Licenses.

Sir,—I have noticed during the past few weeks that there has been great quantities of saw-dust and other debris floating down the Montague, and several other rivers a’ the eastern end of the Islane. This dirt comes in such large quantites that it may be gathered in handfuls, nearly two miles from either mills, Now, Sir, I believe there is a Fish War- den paid for looking after this, and seeing that the fish ladders are kept open, &. If so, why does he not do his auty, for the fish ladders at both mills at the head otf Montague river are blocked with stones, logs and other ditt, so that no water car run through them. Hoping, Sir, that the proper authorities will see that this evil i remedied at once, I remain, Respectfully yours, ANGLER. Our Advertisers. D.
