A xumper of City Councillors and a large number of citizens, who are blind | to their own, as well as the City’s inter- ests, persist in their attempts to burk the Bill to Incorporate the “Charlottetown Water Works Co.”” They argue that if waterworks are introduced the City will be compelled to provide a proper system of seweage and thus involve a heavy | tax upon the citizens The argument is| as ridiculous as the amend-| ments which the Legislative Council | made to the Water Bill.

Therefore the necessity for sewerage will not be greater after clear water is introduced than at the present time. The action of the Legislative Council and the majority of the City Council with reference to the Water Bill, is as impradent as it is unjust. No proper objection to the Bill has yet been raised, and why the Legislative Council should for a moment countenance the childish cpposition raised by the City Coun- cillors, is surprising to everyone possess- ing a grain of common sense.

In my last letter I said something about society here. ‘The social queens are Lady Macdonald, Mrs. Macpherson, the wife of the Minister of the Interior, and Mrs. Carvell, wife of the Senator who visited Regina last year, and who will probably be the next Lieutenant-Governor of Prince Edward Island. Lady Macdonald exer- cises a most wholesome influence in society. She has the brains of a man and withal is thoroughly womanly. What Froude siys of Queen Elizabeth is true—she is capable of taking an unselfish interest in a great cause. She can talk on any subject from politics to belles lettves.—and she is frequently seen in the Speaker's Gallery eagerly following the debates. She knows the peculiarity of each member of Parlia- ment, and to hear her talk to them in grace- ful badinage you would think you were lis- tening to a party leader. Mrs. Macpherson is a charming person— universally beloved. Her sweetness of ex- 'presion and manner is a constant theme | of eulogy in social chit chat. is one of the handsomest visited Ottawa.

Houae— each one a belle in her own district. Mrs. Mackenzie the wife of the late Prime Minister is here and is as popular as ever. Last night, in the House, a question was asked respecting having provincial A. D. C.’s. This is the outcome of irritation at the conduct of the Rideau Hail staff of Lord Landsdowne—up to Lord Dufferin’s time all these A. D. C.’s were not paid by the country, and the members seem in- clined to look closely into Rideau Halil ex- penditure, when the A. D. C.’s treat them as they have done. You would be sur- prised if I. were to mention the names of persons—men and women highly placed, who have complained bitterly about the want of tact—misconduct—is too strong a word—of Lord Melgund. Lord Melgund seems, however, a nice fellow—a man of the world—but something insignificant looking.

Di AR SIk,- am much o liged by your letter of the 26th inst., in which you make some enquiries (very natural in view of the misrepresentations which have been circu- lated) as tothe bewring of my recent re- marks on secret societies. The most satis- factory reply which I can make is to enclose you (as I do herewith) a print of my speech from which you will see what I did in fact say, and connection in which my different remarks were made. You will observe that speaking in the first place of secret bene- volent societies, such as that of which you are a member, I used the following lan: guage :— **T have never joined one, though many of my best friends are members of secret societies, which are, as this professes to be, benevolent—secret societies that do not weddie with political topics-—secret socie- ties whose real action, so far as one of the public can know, is not inconsistent with or does not go beyond the avowed purposes of veyance—dashed past him and drew up at the door—‘'Oo the ell hare you ?” cried out His Excellency’s coachman. ‘‘Thia is for Sir Joh,” said Cabby. “But,” cried the Vice-regal coachman, “Sir John can’¥ go fore the Merkis.”” The same coachman yut the horses here—and he a at Kea ave swore he had not seen a sanguinary horse sinee he came to the blawsted country.

April 14, 1884. ~~ eee Sir,—I find in the Presbyterian of 10th inst., a letter from a party who intredaces himself as ‘*Conservative’ and as “‘having worked a little for Brecken.” This irate individual then proceeds with divers eXclamations, with invidious com- parisons, and with unjustifiable insinua- tions, to tell that Mr. Brecken, having seen fit upon a former occasion, to vote for the Seduction Bill, has declined to do so in this last Session. We leave the aggrieved Congervative tu enjoy bis own Oplplon in regard to Hon. W. W. Sullivan’s being ‘‘one of the greatest statesmen, etc.,” a it in no way interferes with the prevale belief that Mr. Brecken is an astute poli ticlan, @ man of generous disposition, o1 sterling integrity, and of indomitable per- severance in furthering every scheme which may conduce to benefit this, our province, The mere fact of his having ‘‘changed his mind” will have no tendency whatever towards causing a desertion from the ranks of his supporters, believing, as they cer- tainly do, that alleged change was. affected after careful consideration, whereby a more lucid conception of the question was arrived at. Tohis acumen it might appear that the Act seemingly so feasible in precept, would be almost impossible to put into practice; or, if carried out, would fail in accomplishing the desired end, (of such was the Contagious Diseases Act of Great Britain. I doubt the reality of the ‘‘work done for our own great Brecken” by the party who, instead of making private enquiry as to said gentleman's reasons for alleged change of mind, reminds him in a public, and in a most disrespectful manner of his indebted- ness. *‘Conservative”’ is rather unfortunate ia his choice of similes. If daughters, like inanimate objects, possessed neither powers of expression nor of locomotion, then the Act ought to be rigorously enforced; but it might happen that said ‘daughters’ were possessed of a certain quality in common with some fine looking ipples—a rotten core—then, woe to the unhappy wight, whom they had it in their power to injure! ‘‘Conservative”’. would almost kave us to believe that our Hon. member approves of vice. I would beg to remind him that there is a crime of covert slander, which no human law has yet over- taken, but which will eventually meet its deserts; the concection of those depraved hearts which commit cowardly murder, and rapine upon the fair fame of the innocent. Mr. Brecken has assuredly encountered various types of this gevii. Youth will not shame them; neither will gray hairs serve as a warning that malicious insinuators are included in the list of those whose rebribu- tion is announced in ‘‘All liars shall be turned into hell.” For the threatened withdrawal of suppert at next election, it may possibly happen that ‘‘Conservative’s” vote will scarcely be missed. Though casting no reflection upon any who attempt to seek advancement by fair means, I share the opinion of rulers and nations generally, that men who have been long tested, and found to-be well qualified for the position which they occupy, ought not, without grave reasons, to be dislodged, and, except Mr. Brecken should be elevated to a more distinguished posi- tion, he may hops to be surrounded, for the time to come, with supporters who, the better they become acquaint with him, esteem him the more. I am, Sir, yours, LoYAL Ch’iown, April 12, 1884. A Mean Spy. Sir,—At the present time our city has, as a resident, one of those detestable beings who is known as a spy, and a mean creature | i Of late he has been amusing himself. | he is. by writing insulting and abusive letters to respectable young ladies, and to these | letters he appends the signature of ‘‘Ton | Ton Teruchem.’’ No doubt he considers | this clever, but at the same time itis rough | 'on poor “Ton” to have his name connected | with the unmanly actions of this unprin- cipled sneak, who resorts to the lowest means of annoying private citizens. In his letters he has the cheek to talk about respectability and ‘‘class,”’ but if he finds himself wnmasked some of these days the public will readily observe the class to which fe belongs. If this malignant creatuce wants te write letters, and wishes a subject upon which to base his illiterate productions, he should remember that chacity begins at home, and turn his at- tention in that direction. Yours, &c., PRINCIPLE, 2 6D + ae The Firemen’s Procession. Tue Firemen’s Procession this evening promises to be a brilliant affair. More than ordinary exertions have been made by the different companies to make a grand display ; and judging by the activity exist- ing among the fires en at their rooms to-day we have no hesitation in expressing the belief that the precess'on to-night will be the grandest ever witnessed in the Maritime Provinces. The Silsby, Rollo, and Tre- mont engines, and their hose reels, have been decorated with flowers, bangles, ban- nerets, transparencies, and Chiuese lan terns. Their appearance is gay, and when lit up, and moving in the procession, will look magnificent. The procession will be formed oa Grafton Street in front of the Rollo Engine House at So'clock It will be headed by the tand of the 820d Battalion in uniform, which will cecupy seats ina band wagon, drawn by four horses, to be driven by Mr. Worth. The Tremont engine, drawn. by horses, will lead the procession. It will be followed by Tremont Company, composed of twenty men dressed in uniform— helmets, red shirta and beits. Next will come the Hock and Ladder Wagon, drawn by four horses, to be driven by Mr. Samuel Stumbles, It will be gaily decorated. A bag piper will occupy a seat upon it, and no donbt discourse *‘martial music.” The Hock and Ladder Company—thirty men in uniform—will march in rear of their wagon. Rollo Steam Engine, drawn by two handsome horses, will come next, having in tow aminiature house on wheels, burning brilliantly. Her company of fifteen men, in uniform, will march in the rear. The hose-reel drawn by two horses, decorated, and occupied by the driver and two young firemen, will follow the company. Then will come Silsby Engine drawn by two fine horses and followed by the com- paay. The magniticently decorated hose- reel of the engine will bring up the rear of the procession. It will be occupied by the driver and three young firemen who will each occupy a seat on the different arches. Chief Engineer Large, and Captain Beer of the Tremont, will marshall the procession, and will drive in a wagon appropriately decorated and fitted up for the occasion. The route of the proceszion will be as follows: Leaving the Engine House on Grafton Street, it will proceed east to Prince Street; thence to Kent Street; along Kent to Weymouth Street; up Weymouth to Euston. As Euston Street is is a dis- graceful condition the procession will re- turn by the above route to Great George Street; thence to Grafcon Street; from Grafton to Queen Street; down Queen to Richmond Street, along Richmond te the Provincial Building. From thence it will retura to Queen Street and march from Queen to Water Street, along Water to Weymouth Street, and return to Queen Street. Thence march up Queen to Kent Street, along Kent to Prince Street, down Prince to Grafton Street, and along Graf- ton Street to the Engine Room, where cheers will be given for all worthy of them, and the firemen will disperse. —_—— __——_--—» o- aD -o oe —- —--——— Our Advertisers.
