THE LEAGUE AGAIN, Sin.—The Citizen’s League are running a man (so it is reported) who is licensed to sell “spirituous and malt liquors” against Councillor Tanton, a temperance man of the highest standing and above reproach. What a sample ot temperance indeed. It is high time for our pure-minded temper ance citizens to mass themselves together in full force and wipe out and “tar and feather” the inferior of this whitened se- pulchere CoXsISTENCY. WHERE il ea Is MR, HASZARD? Sir,—A correspondeat asks about Mr. Nicholson’s relation to the Charlottetown Club. Might I ask where is Mr. Haszard and where ‘doe she stand in the club? Orders were given at the Citizens’ League, Monday night to support Mr. Haszard for Mayor in preference to Mr. Dawsen who, I understand, does not belong to the club. Yet the League is supposed to be cn the le niperance side. INQUIRER. oh as iin AN EXPLANATION ASKED, Six,—Can you explain to me and many others how the Charlottetown League can aupport a vendor under the Sco.t Act in Ward Five? Does not this support, which I un lerstand is to be given, rather prove the inconsistency of some of our temperance champions ? And at the a text for our oppon- ents te sling the charge to us, for it cannot be denied that a vendor under the Scott Actis a liceased liquor dealer under re strictions. same time it gives True TEMPERANCE. PEOPLE'S CANDIDATES. Six,—lI am glad to hear that the elec- tors of Ward Four, independent of party politics, are taking hold of Messrs, Nichol! sou and Whear, and that the prospects of their triumphant election to the City Council is almost assured. They are in truth the “people’s candidates,” and they can be relied on not to turn their backs on nomination day and allow the nominees of a certain clique to be elected by acclama- mation. A meeting of the Ward should be immediately called and their nomina- tiou ratified, and at the same time the views of the candidates heard. Nicholson and Whear are both young and wiil infuse new life into civic affairs, and it is pleasing to know that they are recognized as the “people’s candidates,” and that they wre receiving such generous support from the independent electors of the Ward.

The time of the House was taken up for two hours yesterday in discussirg the regulations governing the shipment of Nova Scotia cattle from the port of St. John. Joho F. Stairs gives notice of a motion in favor of the militia being armed with the most improved rifle, and disapproving of the reported proposal to purchase an obsolete weapon. Foster moved that the House should go into supply, but the grits refused on the ground that the Auditor-General’s report was not down. They also contended that the estimates should not'te gone on with be- fore the remedial bill was brought in. The discussion continued until 12.30, when Foster said it was no use prolonging it further. He thereupon suggested that the House go into supply and pass one item andthen adjourn, and Cartwright Hon. Mr. Foster then announc- assented. ed the budget for Friday and the House adjourned. Ihe grits deliberately obstructed the course of public business. They are evi dently determined not to allow the Gov ernment to proceed. A caucus of grit members was heid ves- terday. The gathering lasted upwards of an hour. Every follower of Laurier was on hand. Besides Jaying out their pro- gramme for the session the caucus dealt with the Manitoba school question. After a discussion of that important issue and a full explanation of the course which the grit leader bas chosen to adopt, the rank and file of the party gave “their assnrances in favor of the commission ‘policy.’ ” The British View. ’ onvdon, Jan. 29, At Lreds last night, Sir Michael Hicks Beach referred to the proposed covrt of arbitration to arbitrate questions between Great Britain and the United States.
