| c he Daily Exatiiner OCTOBER 13, 1885. Lighting the Streets. — Tne City Council have very promptly DAILY City C uncil. A meeting of the City Council was held ‘last. evening. Present: the Mayor, | Recorder, Chief Engineer, Councillors |Morris, Douse, McRae, Horne, Davy, |Haezard, McLean, Kelly, Curtis and Crabbe. | A number of accounts were read and or- moved to secure for us the advantage ot dered to be paid, those latest products of science, elect! ie | lights; and in a month or two we shall step about on the brilliantly lighted) streets of Charlottetown with all the | vanity of a half-clad Indian rejoiciog iu| a pew orvament. We assume that the| contract will provide against every| reasonable @otingency; and we trust | the Council will have no cause to regret | its rather hasty action. By the way, isn’t it strange that gen tlemen 80 quick to take the electric light, | at no reduction of expense, should be 80 | slow to take waterworks, which, on the) basis of the propositions actually made | would certainly save to our citizens, io | insurance alone, thousands of dollars every year! Hygienic Tue excellent paper read before our Teachers’ Couvention by Dr. McLeod is full of practical suggestions, pot for ithe Trustees and Teachers of schools only, but for every householder ; and we advise every oue to read it care- fully, and govern himself accore- ingly. Hygiene is the most highly subjects of ° 7 human study; for without good hea'th essential! of all the we can neither enjoy this present life, nor fit ourselves as well as we ought to do for the life to come. Yet there is no important study of which we are so Councillor McRae, Chairman of the Ten- der Committee, recommended that the d| tender of the Protestant Union and Herald newspapers being the lowest for publishing the list of defaulters to city taxes, be ac- cepted. It was moved by Councillor McLean, seconded by Councillor Kelly, that the tenders of the Patriot and Herald be ac- cepted. The amendment was lost an] the original motion was carried, Councillor McRae, from the Tender Com- mittee, recommended that the tender of the Royal Electric Light Company, for lighting the city streets, be accepted. The tenders received were then read as follows :— A. McKinnon, Electric Light. ...... $2,750 Be. Fee is oe es ccs be Seka cd Becec a 2,750 Charlottetown Gas Light Company, 127 LMG es Ss a a A ied 3,556 Reyal Electric Light Company, 36 Pee ee, eer 3,€00 A letter was also read from the manager of the Charlottetown Gas Light Company, offering to give four feet of gas per hour instead of three, as heretofore, for same price, and also fix a new burver in each lamp without any extraccst, the burner to be registered to consume four feet per Hour, Councillor Horne moved and Councillor 'Curtis seconded a motion that the tender of the Royal Electric Light Company, of Halifax, be accepted Councillor McLeau asked for information regarding the introduction of electric light in the city. He wanted to know if the Company was responsible, aud if they would utterly careless. We think about how to make money, how to save money, to farm, how to manufacture, govern the nation! We study closely the laws governing these subjects of our activities, and carefully take every precaution against failure and every measure calculated to ensure success. But of the laws which govern health, and of the means to be taken to keep off disease, we are simply reckless. Most of us are, indeed, so deeply en grossed in political affairs and money makiog, that we have neither time sor ability left for special attention to the provision of means to protect the health of ourselves and families) How to obtain supplies of pure air, good water, nourishing food; how to provide com- fortable homes,. offices and schools; when to work and when to sleep in order that we may have clear eyes and sound brains and bodies?—these we treat as little questions of no _ import- ance whatever, when compared with the | prime objects of addiug to our deposits at the bank, increasing our stocks, or securing the triumph of our Party. Dr. McLeod's essay on Hygiene gives some idea of our folly, and affords many good suggestions, which might easily be adopt- ed, for the preservation of the health -of ourselves and our children. —<———-— = —— Senseless Censure. At the little meetings lately held by our Island Grits, the subject of Recipro- | city received a large share of attention. Mr. Davies censured Sir Jobn ino the wildest manner, for vot having secured a Treaty long ere this. The young bloods of Outarin, too, have lately been ven- tilating their views on various questions, Reciprocity among the rest The follow- ing sensible remarks from the JJ/aniteban should be carefully read :— “The Young Liberals were but following the example of their seniors, and in the wake of the organs of their party, when they denounced the Dominion Government for not having obtained Keciprocity with the United States. The ‘Mail’ asks them the following pertinent questions, which are calculated to bring them to their | senses, ifthey have any: Are we likely to get it by an appeal ad misericordiam? by telling the Americans thatif they do not open their mar- kets to us we shall have to sue for political annexation? Or can we compel them, by force of arms, to grant it. If Reformers were in power to-morrow, how would they set about getting it? How did they come to fail in 1864? Why did they not make other atf®mpts in 1875, or 1876, or 1878? Seeing that the Tariff Act of 1879 contains an offer for reciprocity in natural products which the Americans decline to enter- tain, and that besides this Canada has made three direct attempts to induce the United States either to revive the treaty of 1854 or establish # new one, all of which have failed through no fault of ours, but simply because our cousins did not wish to accommodate us, is it not ridiculous to accuse Sir John Macdonald, or any other Canadian, of hay- ing neglected his duty in tnis matter? If not to be moved by common sense considerations urged by their opponents, the Reformer should at least pay atteation to the views expressed by the late Hon George Brown on this subject after the rejection of his proposals for a treaty In 1874. Mr. Brown explained that he had retired from the Cabinet just before Confederation, because he could not approve of Sir Alexander’s negotiations for the renewal of the treaty of 1854. ‘I resigned,’ said he, ‘because I felt very strongly that though we in Canada have derived great advantage from that treaty, the American people had derived greater advantage from it,’ hence he was ‘not willing to ask for a renewal asa favor to Canada,’ ‘I was not willing to offer special inducements for re- newal without fair concessions in return. ‘I firmly believe that good as the reciprocity treaty had been for Canada, in the event of repeal we hada commercial policy of our own oper to us for adoption not greatly inferior to that we should be deprived of,’ this being the opening up of new markets and the cultivation of inter- provincial trade. ** Mail,” is that of the Dominion Government of to-day. They are willing, as shown by the stand- ing offer in the Act of 1879, to treat for a fair measure of reciprocity; but they do not think it would be wise to go bare-footed to Washington, after the frequent rebuffs encountered there in the past. Will the young Liberals tell us what more they could have done or would do ?” THe Canadian Pacific railway intended opening the Canadian all rail route by the nor‘h shore of Lake Superior to Winnipeg on the 18th October, but have decided not to do so in order that they may have the road completed and in perfect order before opening the passenger service. It will, however, be open for freight treffic on the 2nd November, the time intervening being teken up in completing the road in the minutest details for the comfort of travel- lers. a Justin McCarrny will not make a lecture tour of the United States and Canada this year, owing to the lateness of the English elections, how to| Mr. Brown's position, says the | guarantee to give a good and efficient light.. how | He saw that the tender was higher than |another Company who offered to light the | city by electricity, and he wanted to know why the Royal Electric Light Cc., should |be paid more money for doing similar |work than others equally responeible. |Gentlemen abont the board would not give a small printing contract to any but the lowest tenders, but here they are giving away hundreds of dollars of the citizens mouey which they could save by accepling the tender of Mr. McKinnon. Councillor McRae, in reply, stated Mr. McKinnon was sent fer by the Tender Committee, who required some information regarding his tender, but Mr. McKinnon did not meet the Committee. The Com- mittee therefore did not know what candle power Mr. McKinnon intended to furnish. Councillor McLean said the Committee did not kuow anything about candle power, as the territory for each lamp had not been measured. As regards Mr. McKinnon being sent for, he understood the Com- mittee sent him an svitation to meet them at 9 30 yesterday morning, and that the in | vitation was meeting was to have taken place. | Councillor Curtis said we have some- thing definite to go upon. The Royal Electric Light Company agree to furnish thirty-six lamps and guarantee twelve hundred candie power for each lamp. Gas light, as we have it, is a poor thing, and however lenient we should be towards the Gas Company, we should do what is best for the public. If the Royal Electric Light Company put up their machinery here it may be for the interest of the Gas Company to buy them out. Councillor Haszard said we should have (the matter properly discussed end not be too hasty in arriving at a conclusion. We should study what is for our best inter- ests as citizens, aud find whether we wouid be acting wisely by accepting the contract of the Royal Electrie Light Company and having the Gas Company ciosed. We should have more information on _ the subject, and should not be in a hurry in accepting the tender until we see our way more clearly. The gentlemen who are pressing the acceptance of the tender on the Council do not give any satisfactory information to the Board. They do not nsider the many disadvantages store- keepers will have to deal with if the Gas Company closes down, and they care not how many lecal enterprises perish as long as their own whims are gratified, Councillor Morris did not think the in- troduction of the electric light wou!d do the Gas Light Company any harm. In other places where the light was used there was an increase in the consumption of gas. If the Electric Light Company eet up the machinery here there is no doubt the Gis Compeny will buy them out, and we will then have both gas and electricity. Conncillor Douse said it was the duty of the Beard to give the citizens the moat ilight for the least money. The electric light was a good light, He raw it in many cities, and he believed its adoption was a move in the right direction. Councillor McLean thought the y+ntle- men at the Board should give the local company who tendered some consideration. | Mr. McKinnon’s tender was $800 Iss than the Royal Elcetric Light Company, but the |Council preferred to patroniz> a foreign j}company. If some other Councillors~were | as eager to carry the tender as Councillors | Curtis, McRae and others, they would be | stigmatiz:d as a ‘* Ring,” and it would be stated that they were ‘‘ greased.”’ Councillor Crabbe, objected to the con- tract on the ground that the Council was in | the dark and could get no information from |the gentlemen who were pressing the con- tract so strongly on the Council. The | gentleman who placed the contract in the hands of the Council had little or no ex- | perience, and he cared littie how the city | was lighted solong as he got his conmis- sion. Halifax is not in as great a hurry as weare. They have part of the city lighted with electricity as an experiment, and the other part lighted with gas. He moved the following resolution : Whereas, The Electric Light is only as yet an experiment in cities. Resolved, Tha the contract of the Charlotte- town Gas Company for lightieg the city | with four inch barners be entered into for one | year Councillor Crabbe stated that the tender committe should.if they wanted electricity, have considered Mr. McKinnon’s tender,es it was the lowest. Councillor Horne said all cities which -haye electric lights would not now do with- out them. Councillor Haezard suggested that the gas received ap hour after the| company should have a chance of meeting the Council, and see if a better arrangement could not be arrived at. Councillor Davy said the Council should look to the Gas Company for a refund. He thought the Royal Electric Light tender was the most definite,and he would support it. Councillor Crabbe’s ammendment was lost on the following division,— Nays—Councillors Curtis, Kelly, Morris, Douse, Horne, MeRae and Davy. Ye w— Councillors Crabbe, McLean ard | Hoszard., The mo ion that the tender of the Royal Electric Light Company be accepted was then ca ried, A petition was read from the butchers holding stalis in the Market House, asking that the ha» king through the city of meat by butchers be prevented. The petition was ordered to lie on the table. The Fire Department having recom- mended the Maltese brand of hose, an order was passed for five hundred feet. After a petition was read regarding a defective gas lamp, the meeting adjourned. ——— © <> eo ae -— - St. Joseph’s Bazaar.

Srr,—lI notice in your valuable paper of a recent date, a paragraph stating that “J. M. Whitman, Veterinary Surgeon,” commonly known as “ The Tramp,” would be at my stables on the 15th and 16:b October, instant. I beg most emphatically to repudiate the paragraph in qnestion, and hereby assure the public that [ will not directly or indirectly, recognize »n indi- vidual who has made himself obnoxious to the public. If Mr. Whitman, V. S., knows when he is well off, be will, upon leaving the prison walls of Prince County Jail, make for pastures new, and not again trouble the people of our Island, The Summerside Journal wi'l oblige by copying this letter. Yours truly, Martin Wuirty. Ch’town, Oct. 12, 1885. ee Concerning Riel. (Montreal Herald.) From present appearances it would seem almost safe to predict that Riel’s fate de- pends on the decision that may be arrived at by the Privy Counci]. The theory that in no circumstances would the Governmen! permit the sentence of the law to be carried out upon one so notoriously the pet of a large body of his fellow-country-mea is less strongly advanced; the straws that are whirling about do not now indicate quite so clearly that the wind is in that direction? Perhaps sectional dictation to the Govern- ment has been exercised just a little be- yond the point of endurance, and this last pull on the reins may have deter- termined the powers of Ottawa to face the matter at once and by assert- ing their proper authorjty prepare the way to appeal for a support that will not bo withheld if circumstances compel its being asked. Possibly the Quebce leaders under stand this better than their followers, and have set the stops of the organs they play upon according|y. rn As regards Riel’s fate, the people of Quebec Province seem to show less feeling on the subject than formerly, while in Ontario we hear Jess of a_ bloodthirsty character in the press and at public gather. ings, that was the case some weeks ago. Whatever may be the cause of this, it is a more desirable state of things. Much of the personal hostility to Riel seems to have worn off, and now people are consi- dering the question calmly and with refer- ence almost entirely to the effect upon the general interest os the country. -_—>- Port or Monrreat.— The following figures show the number and tonnage of vessels artiving at Montreal during the month of September, and from the opening of navigation to the Ist cf October. During the month of September there were 72 steamships of 93,397 tons, and 93 sailing vessels of 12 724 tons, a total of 106 versela of 106,121 tons, and during September, tons, a total of ninety-three vessels, representinz 107,535 tons. This shows an increase for September, 1885, of 13 vessels, but a de- crease in tonnage of 1,414 tons. From the opening of navigation to October Ist there were 350 steamships of 491.724 tons, and 142 sailing vessels of 55,099 tons, making in all 492 vessels of 546,823 tons. ani for the corresponding time last year there were 363 steamships of 472,525 tons, and 1289 sailing vessels of 52,147 tons, a total of 502 vessels of 525,172 tons. The comparison shows a decrease of 10 v@tsols from last year, bnt an increase of 21,651 tons in favor of the current year The Militia department are pushing for- ward as speedily as possible the issuing of warrants to those volunteers who are en- titled to land grants in the Northwest. Much delay, however, has been occasioned through the negligence of commanding officers of battalions in not furnishing the names in full of those who served during the rebellion. -—-——__ —-—_+ee2—__ - ————- Scott’s Hmulsion of Pure Cod Liver Oil, with Hypophosphites AS A REMEDY FOR CONSUMPTION.

A large sails have been in contant use for eight years, and the repairs have been very trifling, in many instances none have been required, This valuable experience sLould be sufficient evidence of their durability, which is accounted for in the following :—It bas, instead of a Lined Fire Box two heavy Currugated Cylinders, which obviate the expense connected with all Square Cooking Stoves of being compelled to renew Linings and Grates, at least once or twice every year, The heat being radiaed fiom the Cylin- ders to the floor, where most needed, overcomes a serious objection to all kinds of ordinary Coai Cooking S'oves. The Cylinders are situated directly under the cover hotes, and a fire may be made in one or both, thus adapting it for use either in winter or summer, with equal satistaction, besides effecting a great saving to fuel.
