We shall probably be told thaf when we have waterworks we shall also have| water closets. This idea should not, in| our Opinion, be for one moment enter- tained. Water closets, which would, of | course, make sewers necessary, should | never, under any circumstances, be per mitted in Charlottetown. The town so situated that the sewers could not kept free and clear flushing, and unless the provision were made for ventilati gases geverated in the sewers would cer-| tainly, at every tide, be | forced into The | sewers ie l different y Government pond, southerly towards the river, and easterly towards the inlet which bouods the eastern section of the +} Lie is | be | without constant | careful | 1 the most rise of the ba k the vould ssarily directious—we: houses. ’ ° | V nece j 1n three! f towards | aNa town. To allow the sewage to remain | putrifying about these shores would, it will readily be seen. be maduess; and | therefore would have to be carried | right out to the channel. This would necessitate the carrying of at least three main sewers to the channel, a work which could only be doue under the superintendence of a competent Civil Engiueer, and at a great expense, tor which we are not prepared. Having, regard then to the health of the City, to| the difficulties to be overcome, aud to the financial state of the City, we had better cease thinking about the luxury of | water closets, The programme which should, in our opinion, be carried out would include: 1. The rigid enforcement of the dry earth system, by which bad smells would | be kept down, and the surrounding country fertilized and enriched. 2. The obtaining of a system of waterworks as soon as possible to supply the pressing wants of the corporation and of individual citizens. 3. Then, if it be found that, contrary to all precedent, our people use immense quantities of water which the open gut- ters fail to carry off, and the porous earth will not absorb, have sewers wherever necessary to carry off the waste water. ol Advertizer, Gloucester, Mass., appears to have spenta pleasant | oliday in the Maritime Provinces. In concluding a series of articles on “Whet I g@w in the Maritime Provinces,” he’ says: ‘We have this to say about our experience : —The editor the Cape Ann | Arrange for your trip to the Provinces as far as you can, take all you tal and do not failto include Prince Edward Island and Cape Breton in your programme.

He therefore forfeits the deposit of $200 which, under the law, every candidate is obliged to put up as a guarantee against vexatious opposition. The Cricket Match on Saturday. The cricket match between the oflicers of H. M.S. Canada and the local club was played at the Park on Saturday afternoon, and resulted in a victory for the former by ten runs, the respective scores being fifty ind forty. Mr. T. A. LePage, who cap- tained the home eleven, won the toss and sent the oflicers to the bat. Yeo and LePage bowled. The batting was steady at first, the second wicket not fall- ing until 24 runs were made. Mr. H. A. Dyer, having secured 10, was then clean bowled, and Rev. J. H. Berry, who was captain of the naval eleven, was caught at 7 off Johnson, who had relieved Yeo. No stand was made until Mr. G. W. Vivian appeared at the wicke‘s, who secured 12— the highest score, by free and upright play- ing. ‘The innings closed for 50, 7 being ex iras The home team followed and were dis. posed of for 40, Brown 10 and Yeo 9, not The players were unfortunate in going out—Moore and Hobkirk being rvn out, Davies and Sentt being stumped out, and Haythorne having hit wicket.

The mean politician is the man who un- derstands politics in no other sense than as a game of grab for himself and his conati- tuents. He isaman who at the seat of Government is perpetually hunting the de- partments with two penny half-penny matters that he wants attended to ‘‘in my cownty.” . In the exercise of patronage he has no object in view but to place people under personal obligations to himself ; and nothing is too small or too petty to have in hiseyes a political value. In the House he votes with his party with all the regu- larity of amachine. The right or wrong of a question never comes up for a moment's consideration in what he calls his mind. Heserves the party and the party seyves him. The country at large be only kiows as a kind of feeding ground for himself and his party. At home he pursues his buasi- ness with aconstant eye to the next elec- tion, “to win in which he derends mainly upon his favors .to individuals, and upon grants of public money obtained, presum- ably throngh his influence, for expenditure a em oe ee LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. ~~ Davies Speech in the Market Hall. Sir,—The account of L. H. Davies’ speech in the Market Hali, which is kept before the public by the editor of the Patriot from day to day, in flaming head- lines cf ‘* 700 people present,” etc., etc, reminds me of the disgusting continuation, from March until the next February, in some of the newspapers, of the trash called speeches, madefin the Legislative Council, by its hon. members. The Patriot forgers to say that of the three or four hundred persons present about one-half were Liberal-Conservatives, who merely dropped in frommotives of curiosity to hear what the great stretcher had to say by way of excuse for his abominable conduct during the late session of the House of Commons. My intention, however, in writing this is simply to call attention to a remark or two made by Mr. Davies, and not to follow him through all the political clap trap with which the Market Hall reverberated. In the course of his speech he referred to the National Policy (of course) and said :— ‘‘Gentlemen, this is a serious matter. Look at your commercial depression. Look at the general stagnation «f business! Go down to your wharves, and | ask you, where, oh where, is your shipping gone ?/ The fact is, the country is being ruined ! We are on the eve,—aye, we are face to face witha great crivis,” and then, with feigned solemnity, and in sepulchral tones, he said, ‘‘It isa question of Bread with us.’’, Shortly after these remarks he weat on to say that he was accused of obstructing the Government. ‘* Yes,” said he, ‘*Gentlemen, I did obstruct them with all the ability (and he imagines he has no mean share of it) with which God and nature has endowed me. I obstructed ‘‘them day and night.” “Why, what did | find—an item of ex- penditure by the Dominion Government of $500,000 to induce emigrati6n from the Old Country to the Northwest; and I arose in my place and demanded of Sir John Me- Donald why a portion of that money had not been used in bringing emigrants to the Maritime Provinces—to this Island. There are farmers in (free-trade) England who tind it impossible to make a living, who, if they knew of the capabilities of this Island would come here. We have a fine climate, a fine soil, vacant lands, etc. ; once here, they would become prosperous and rich, and happy.” During these remrrks I wait- ed with bated breath, expecting that these people from the Old Country were going to be invited here to help us starve to death But when I found that they were to be- come prosperous, ang rich and happy, iu this land of blue ruin, it was too much for me and [ broke down. Truly from the sublime to the ridiculous is only a step. Whatever obstructive power Mr. Davies has gained in the last twelve months, he has evidently lost some of his cunning—an un- fortupate fact for a man who aspires to the leadership of the Grit Party of this Dominion. OBSERVER. Ch’town, Sept. 7, 1885. Puritan and Genesia. It is officially announced that Boston’s pride, the Puritan, will sail for America against the Genesta to-day. Afier the success of the Puritan against the Priscilla, both in the races at Newport and the tria! races off New York ha@Pbor, no other deci- sion would have satisfied the public. At the same time the committee charged with the duty of inquiry professed to arrive at their result independent of the mere re- sult of the races. They carefully studied the respective performances of the two yachts on every point of sailing. The con- clusion come to by them was that the Peritan was within a shade as good a boat at ranning and reaching asthe Priscilla, a boat five feet longer than herself, and that she was greatly superior to her at working to windward, especially in a atiff breeze. The balance of points was decidedly in the Puritan's favor, and therefore she was chosen. The Boston Herald youches for the cor- rectness of the following dimensions cf ihe Puritan : Eevtsth over ais .c so 93 ft.

The Paritan is comparatively broad and shallow, relying on her centreboard for her weatherliness. The Genesta is narrow and deep. Both boats are of the best of their type. If conditions of wind and weather are favorable the coming contest might go a long way toward settling the question Which of the two types is the fastest. As to safety, there is no question, we believe, but that the deep English boat is by long odds the beat. and safest sea boat. Bat racing yacths, on this side of the water, at least, have little omno occasion to be out in any but decent weather. in the county. Wherever he goes, he says | by all bis actions : ‘*Politics is a trade, aj mere matter of buying and selling. Party is a joint stock concern for taking public contracts and monopolizing public cflices. Principle and _ patriotism are words— | nothing more.” The mean politician ex- ists. He is not arara avis by any means. Some constitnencies seem to like a man of : a OF Y that kind. Those are the mean constitu- | encies.
