But his would be an exceptional case fur special consideration by the Cemmis- s:oners, Notone citizen ina thousand resides so far away from the street.

This would be much better than nothing at all, of any commou the resule that would, in the case editor, inevitably follow a strict adherence to the rates and by-laws as drafted and published by the Commis- sioners. The Patriot defence of these rates and by-laws; ** Tae peor man cannot says, in afford to use as great a quantity of water as his rich neighbor, and therefore ought not to pay as high a rate.” We have yet to learn that a poor man des not require as much weter to guench his thirst and cleanse his skin as the rich man; and therefore it is that that a sufficient supply should be within his reach at rates which he, as well we contend placed as the rich man, can afford to pay. By the way, a careful count of the names in Chappelle's directury shows that there were, in 1886, one thousand nine hundred and ten householders in Charlottetown. Ii Chappelle be cerrect, there must now be fully two thousand householders in the city; aud the revenue of the Commission- would, if low and reasonabie rates- be caarged, be considerably larger than the sum estimated by THe FxaMixera few days ago. ecs Sir Jehns Policy. * In the course of a reply to a compliment- ary address, at Pictou, Sir John Macdonald id: — You have alluded in the address to what the Government has done. I am’ happy to balieve our policy has been a sound one; bheppy to beiieve it has been a successful one. the policy inangurated in 187% has been wisintaiged and approved of in three genera! e ections by the vast majority of the people of Canada.

TT oe The Yeo Wystery Again. Some months ago Messrs. Macleod, Morson & McQuarne, of this city, wrote Mr. George H. Hodsk iss, Co lector of faxes, Winnipeg, in reference to sume rea! estate owned in that city by Charles H Yeo, the man who so mysteriously disap- peared from this city early in January, 18-7. In his reply to this letter, Mr. Hodskiss said that Yeo was alive and wel! in Winnipeg, and working at the tailoring trade on Portage Avenue. This informa- tion was made public through THe Exam LINER, and for a time hopes were entertained that Yeo was alive. But some of the relatives of the missing man could not bringthemselvesto believethat he would return to Winnipeg tu work with out letting them know about it, and wrote some lettersto friends there, asking for further particulars. To one of these letters the following reply was received yester- day:- Winntrec, Aug. 30. I went to see Mr. Hodskiss about Chiurles Yes, but it is not the same Charles BH. Yeo. This is an old man: I remember four or five years ago he used to keep a smalil dty gouds store on Main street, and 1 often used to wonder at the name because it was the saine 1s the Charles Yeo 1 knew. Charles’ pro perty is in the city, and Mr. Hodskiss is th« man who has the power to collect the taxes Chere is no Portage in Winnipeg, bat there is « street called Portage Avenue; and the same old man, Charies H. Yeo, keeps a tailor shop there. Mr. Hodskiss said he was th man that he meant, This letter pretty effectually settles the story as to Yeo's being alive aad well in Winnipeg. His brothers and relatives are now more than ever convinced that he has been foully dealt with. Si > <i LEP 0@- Gee os Personal. Rev W. C. Wilson, left on return to Spring hill, N. S., this morning.

Tue following poem was read by Mr. James Jeffrey Roche, of the Boston Pilot, at the regular annual dinner of the survi- vors of the Ninth Massachusetts Infantry, at Oak Island by-the-Sea, on the 29ch ult. : TO THE IRISH NINTH, In the days when wi-dom sprang to birth, full-grown, with never a natal pain, Then homespun statesmen ruled the earth, With an inch of brow and an ounce of brain. A governor, wise and good as great (Fate was kind to the nation then), Avose in his might and saved the State, Disarming the alien-born men, The flags were furled, the swords were sheathed, The guns were stacked that the exiles bore, And the anxious patriot freely breathed, lor the State was sate for evermore. Suddenly, up from the Sunny South, Came an wugry ery, one Ap il morn, Treason spoke by the cannon’s mouth, And, strange to say. it was native born ! The homespun statesman forgot his fear When the exiles took up their acms again ; The anxious patriot crept to the rear, or valy the brave were wanted then. Tattered and old are the flags you bere ; Many a rent of shot and shell, Smirch of powder and stain of gore, The deeds of the Lrish soidters tell, Gettysburg saw your fierce assault ; Antietam knew, and the Wilderuess, How quick to follow, how slow tu halt, How brave and blithe in the sorest stress. The banner of green was foremost still ; With fo ty battles its green was red— Reddest of al! at Gaines’s Mill, W here the lrish Ninth ia rows lay dead. Only the true may know the pride That fills the heart in an honest breast ; When love distrusted is justitied And fire’s ordeal is daty’s test. ———a eee The Peace of Europe. GERMANY 8 YOUNG AND AMBITIOUS EMPEROR SEVERELY CRITICIZED, The New York Sua has the following trom its special correspondent in London: It becomes more and more evident that if war comes France is determined it shall not be her faalt. Premier Goblet’s reply to the last insulting note on the Massowah difficulty, seat by Premier Crispi, of Italy, is most tem- perate and patient, so much so that Italy cau- net continue in her provocative coarse with- out alenating the sympathies of all the inde- pendent powers of Europe. The belief which is gaining ground that Bismarck warned Crispi that he could not rely on the support of the tripie alliance if he provoked France without cause strengthens the hope of peace aroused by Irance’s moderation. The real danger to European peace seems t be in the coustant endeavor vf Germany's young, ambitious and incapable Emperor to set bimself and his couitry inte trouble. Should Bismarck’s restraining influence be re- moved, it seems certain that the new ruler would soon find a pretext to satisfy his great- est craving, the sight of lis toy, the army, mancuvring and firmg olf its guns in bloody earnest. After irritating France with his gratuitous brag about 46,000,000 Germans iying dead on the battlefield before giving up a foot of conquered territory, he has allowed his mouth to endanger the peaceful under- standing of his country with England. ‘* England,” this silly imperial braggart is4 reported to have siid, “‘ would be dead but for her colonies. These are only attached to her by athread. 1 will cut that thread, and England will die a death accelerated by the poison of Liberalism.” if the preceding are not an extract repro- action of his words, he has said something sifficiently like it to stupidly interfere with the work ot his advisers, who are laboring to forward German interests at the expense of ingiand on the Zauzibar coast, in New Guinea, South Africa and elsewhere. In the midst of his political blundering his German Majesty finds time for much meek humility, ostentatious praise of his never-to-be-forgetten father, whose every wish he is disregarding nd of his ever-to-be-remembered grandfathe: whose great work is endangered by his grand son. In strong contrast to the braggadocio utter- snces of the grandson are the words of od Hmperor Wiliam, written at important mo- ments of his life, avd only made public yes terday. The words. of the old Emperor breathe a simple piety and modesty which nis descendant might probably copy. In 1866 he writes: ‘‘In years now closing Gods grace has been poured out over Prussia, and rightly compensates her for all she has suf- fered. Humbly do I acknowledge His Divine favor whieh selected me at my advanced age as the bringer about of evenis which seem destined to be a blessing to Prus- sia and toGermany. At this serious turning point of the year may the army in ail its parts accept my hearty thanks for the devotion and self-sacrifice with which it obeyed my call and onquered before my eyes, an experience fr4 which I stammer out to God my humble ea eR a ce me Rm A FT 183438. .

WILHELM. ’ ‘* Midnight, 66-67.” At the c!lose of the war with France, when he sees himself the most powertul man on earth, his utterances are the same :— ‘With a humble and thankful heart I extol Gou’s grace which has found us worthy to wh.eve such mighty things according to ‘His will. May this grace be further accorded to vs in building up and extending re-united Germany, the foundations of which only have been laid, and may peace be granted to us to enjoy in humiity the blessings which were won in hot and blooly battles. Lord, Thy will be done on earth even as it is ix Heaven, Amen. “WILHELM.” {t is easy to imagine what the old warrior’s feelings would be could he be- hold his grandson, who has never done anything but bragging, endangering his country’s peace and raking hiu:self gener- ally obnoxious on the strength of the repn- tation of his predecessors and the army built up by them. _— oe The entries for the races at Mosepath on the 12th and 13th closed on Wednesday night.
