THE WARD SYSTEM.
Itisqiiite natural that a t`-ity Council
made up of members selected by single
wards should be opposed tothe abolitioiiof
the ward system. This has been found to
be true in other cities when the question
of abolition came up for discussion. The
reason is sufiiciently obvious so far as
soincindiviilual members are concerned.
'lheycaiibe elected in the wards which
they now represent: they could not be
elected with the entire city for aconstitu-
gncy. This fact will appeal to thoughtful
citizens rather as a reason that the ward
system should be abolished than that it
should be retained.
The discussion nt the annual meeting
of the Council on Monday night showed a
confusion of ideas on the part of several
members. They mixed up the notion of
ward abolition and cumulatiivc voting,
which have no necessary relation to each
other at all. Both Councillor \\~’hear and
Councillor Tanton, for iiistiince in the
questions which they propose to be
submitted to the electors have mixed
together these two and entirely sepu°i=it.c
matters. So far as the abolition
of the ward system is concerned the
simple question is, lifould it be better for
the entire body of electors to vote for and
elect the entire eight members of the
Council i Under this plan the entire City
would be treated as one ward, and each
elector would have eight votes, but could
give no more than one vote for any one
candidate. l
What is called cumulative voting is a
system by which an elector entitled to
vote for, say, eight candidates, might, if
he chose to do so, cast his eight votes for
a single candidate, or might divide t-hem
in any vray he chose between two, three
four or more of the candidates. The
system was originally designed to secure
the representation or protection of
minorities and has not come into general
will be seen that whether we shall have
‘cumulative voting or not is a matter.
altogelzher apart from the ward question.
We note that those who favor the oon-
tinuance of the ward system cite the
cases of the Province and the Dominion
which for purposes of representation in
the Legislature and in Parliament are
divided into electoral districts. But these
cases are not at all parallel to that of the
representation of a city. There are wide
divercities of interest between Prince
County and Kings, or between Victoria
and Cape Breton. The different parlia-
mentary constitueneios may be separated
by soo rec or even by thousand oi miles.
One is a rural, the other an urban consti-
tuency. The principal interest in one
icounty may be farming,in another fishing,
or lumbering, or mining, or- manufactur-
ing. One may be wholly English-speaking
and another wholly French-speaking. No
such contract of interest, customs, and
language exist in our little city of Char-
lottetown. We live compaetly together,
speak one language, are served by one
port, one post oiiice, one railway station.
We walk the came streets, are protected
by the same police, the came iirc depart-
ment, have ono system of water supply,
with sewerage and lighting in common.
With interests so much in common we
are, or oiiglit to be all concerned in the
capability, the honesty and general char-
acter of the men who snallform our gov-
erning Council. \Nhy should not every
elector have a voice in selecting every
member of the Gouncil 2 Why should the.
electors in ward tive have three votes and
the electors in thc lower ward have but
one vote? Why should We have equal
rights in the choice of a Miiyor and such
uneqiiiilrights in the selection of Coun~
cillors? These are questions which the
advocates of the existing system ought to

answer to the satisfaction of reasoning
men if they are to maintain their
ground.
It is notorious that the ward system in
actual working places in the Council men
in whom the majority of the electors have
no confidence; mon who could not be
elected by the City at large, sometimes
men of whom respectable citizens are
ashamed. Might we not hope for better
things with all the citizens voting
together? Would we not :ret in that way
men of broader views, of larger minds,
who would have the real interests of the
city more at heart? This muah we do
know that the oitics which have abolished,
the ward system show no disposition to
return to it, but prefer the new method to
the old.

The Examiner raises the question, who
willbe thenext Opposition leader? Ap~
parently the Opposition party are little
nearer to a decision than they were when*
Sir.Charles Tupper resigned. The ground
is, however narrowed somewhat by the
announcement of Hon. Hugh J olin Mac-
donald thnt he too has retired from politi-
cal life for good. This undoubtedly brings
Hon. George E. Foster more decidedly to
the front. ” l
The question for the voters of the City
to consider dui-ing the next few weeks is
whether they are are to have a voice in
electing all the Councillors, or only one,
