That was postponed antil from seven hundred to had beer stolen, and or cut of some ali investigation a thousand letters that when the investigation was held, the thief was permitted to escape, 18 passing strange. The fact does not argue much executive activity or detective ability on the part of the cflicer who bears the cuplwwieus tithe uf ‘Dominion lvspector of Post Offices.” Surely « trap could have been succesfully laid for the artless messenger. After wait- ing for a whole year, » few days or weeks might, surely, have been spent in obtaining evidence to convict the culprit; and the easy expedient of extracting a confession from the boy, and thus enabling him to pr.ctic. lly make his own terms with the In- spector, have been avoided. This messen- gor ia not the first nor the second post ¢ flice thief. Fear of punishment, as well as a knowledge of the motto that “‘ honesty is the best policy,” is needed as an aid to resist the strong temptation which is always in the way of post office clerks and messen- gers. But the easy treatment accorded to Mitchell, who has gone off with all the money he obtainea by his thefts, is really an incitement to others, thievishly inclined, to fall into temptation. At any rate, Gov- ernment cflicials, holding responsible posi- tions, should be sharp and active when the public interests which they are appointed to safeguard are attacked. ———_--~ 9+ Oe Notes and Comments. ————$— —Again we have to note an irritating delay of passengers on the Southport ferry. It is too bad that the constituents of the Premier and the hen. members for Belfast should, after all the fair promises, be so badly treated. —The British papers seem to be all to sanguine in their expectations respectiag the result of the Presidential election There will be no change in the United States tariff for upwards of a year. It is probable that only those duties which bear most heavily upon the American consumer will then be repealed. Special care will, without doubt, be taken to benefit the British exporter as little as possible. Ip the meantime the British workman must continue to suffer the consequences of the depression which has been precipitated. The Presidential Election in New York. The following from the pen of one of our clever young medical students in New York toafriend, was written on the morning after Election Day :— **The die is cast, and Cleveland will occupy the White House for the next four years My fears were unfounded, as were those of tie great Democratic leader himself, when * yae.) in the Lennox Lyceum last week, thit Mass.) this state and the country were Conn.,.tht from ander his feet.

There was quite a gain above the Harlem for the Democrats this time, so that Cleveland has carried the State by over 50,000 majority. King’s County, Brooklyn, which knifed him last time, surpasved all expections and this time came out with a majority of 29,000 for Cleveland. I was in Tammany Hall last aight about 11.30 when the news came that Cleveland had carried Illinois by 15,000 ma jority, and it was the most enthusiastic sight | ever saw as cheers went up from 10,000 throats as one, and hats as well as cvoats were thrown in the air regard.ess of their ever be- ing gotten agaiu by the owners.

His were to on messages for the Pest Office and Savings Bank; and in the former institution he was also re quired to assist in cleaning out the letter receivers or drop boxes in the flice, and also date-stamp letters. He always did his work in the presence of some of the clerks, was never in the cffice alone, and did not carry a key. He was a bright lad, always ready and willing to work, and was well liked by the other officials, Between November of last year and the that he was goa 4 present time the department has a knowledge of the loss of about 150 letters cuulalning money orders, and of the loss ot some eight or ten letters containing money amounting to between $150 and $200 The number of ordinary letters stolen is not known, but it is thought there must have been several hundreds taken. These letters were not registered, and the money orders were valueless to the thief. Efforts were made to locate the guilty person or persons, but without success, Mitchell had a room or ocffics in the Savings Bank Department, ard in a box in this place were found about 159 letters which were handed over to the Postmaster. We understand that these Ictters, which were all found open, have been forwarded to the persons towhom they were addressed. One of the letters was date-stamped Nov. 9h, 1892, showing that the stealing was continued while the investigation was actually going on. The money orders stolen were mostly addressed to publishing houses in Montreal. Postmaster Brecken says the reason a progecution was not begun against Mitchell was because the whole transaction was in- cluded in his confession to Mr. Sweetnam, and this confession could not be used in a court of law. They did the best they could under the circumstances in order to place the guilt upon the proper shoulders and re- lieve the innocent from suspicion. Address and Presentation TO MR. ANSON C. PARSONS BY THE ODD- FELLOWS OF THIS CITY. Tue Oddfellows of this city last evening presented Brother Anson C, Parsons with & well filled purse and an appropriate ad- dress. The presentation was made in the Oddfellows’ Lodge Room, in the presence of a goodly number of the brethren. Mr. Parsons, who has been inthe employ of the Island railway for a number of years past, leaves for Boston to-morrow morning. He is a man of sterling integrity, and is an excellent workman. He takes with him to his future home the good wil! and kindliest wishes of all who knew him. Following is a copy of the address :— St. Lawrence Lodge, No. 8, LO. O. F., Charlottetown, P. E. I Nov. l4th, 1892 To Brotner Anson C. Parsons,— Dear Brother,—Subject to the inevitable law of change which none escape, you are called upon to leave this city, and sever your connection with our beloved Brother- hood here. We fee! that we would be doing justice neither to your merit as # man or your worth as an Oddfellow, nor to our own feelings of love and respect for you, did we permit you to depart without giving expres sion to cur deep sense of the benefit derived from the active interest you have ever mani- fested in all that has pertained to the welfare of our Noble Order. Your willingness to assist on all public occasions, your cave for and love of the Brethren, and, above all, your manly and consistent life, shown ia the public practice of the princip'es taught in the Lodge Sossa, has done much to strengthen the bond of Brotheie hoed within the Order, and to win the deserved respect for Oddfellowship of those who do not see ite beauties or eoknowtedae its claims. In all our intercourse with you, we have found you in the truest sense a Brother; and that, next after the ‘Well done” of our Father in Heaven, is the highest tribute that can be paid to any man. We beg you to accept the accompanying purse as a token of our sincere regard for you, snd our eppreciation of your many good qualities. We deeply regret your goiog from us, but gladly remember that wherever you may be, you are still within the mystic circle of that fellowship whose golden thread runs round the world. On behalf of the Oddfellows of this City, Fraternally yours, WitimaM Sma, N. G., DanreL MecLeop, R. S., Gro. W. Garpiner, P. G., A. J. Hove, Joun 8S. Nexson, P. G., Committee St. Lawrence Lodge. A.

Several members of the Board thought the resolution provisions should be made for unforeseen expenditures, for work that would have to be done. Couve Hor Hughes movel that Council- lor Crabbe have leave to withdraw his re- solution. Councillor Hooper seconded the motion. The amendment was lcat on the casting voie of the Mayor and the following divi- sion : Ayes— Hughes, Ho>per, Robertson, Tay- lor. Nays—Crabbe, McKay, Hogan, Beer.

The clerk was authoriz2d to write Mr. Me- Millan, informing him that the bridge in question was not within the juriadiction of the City Council. A letter from the Clty Cierk of the Town of Truro, informed the Council that a man named Augustus McLeod, belonging to Gharlottetown, had been badly injured on the railway at that place some time ago and as he had no money the Town had to pay his boarding house and ductors bills. The Truro Covncil asked the Charlottetown Board to pay the billain the case when they were presented. The clerk was suth- orized to inform the Truro Cuuncil that the Charlottetown Board did not recognize any liability in the matter. An application from Mr. W. J. Boswal), asking forthe position of wharfinger cf Queen’s Wharf, was referred to the Public Property Committee. The application of policemen Warren, Campbell and Carter, for new overcoats, was referred to the Finance Committee. A letter from W. E.

The Mayor informed the Board that complaint had been made to him that the fountain on Market Square was not run ning regularly, and he had been instiu- mental in having it put in operation again, Councillor McKay presented a numerous- ly signed petition from the business men of the city, asking for a daily market instead of the semi-weekly one we have at present. The petition was received and read. Couneillor McKay then moved the fol- lowing resolution, which was scconded by Councillor Hughes :— Resolved, That the prayer of the petition be granted and that the Market Clerk be instructed to open the market daily, Sundays excepted, and keep open until 8 o'clock each evening of the week, except Saturday, and that evening until 10 o'clock. Further Resolved, That the Market Com- mittee be instructed to carry out the terms of above resolution and tu provide lights and make other arrangements necessary. The resolution was carried. Councillor Crabbe then brought to the notice of the Board that each year certain sums were carried over a3 assets for taxes due in 1886, 1887, and 1888, which were valuless. He thought these smounts should be struck otf, and moved the follow- ing resolution : Resolved, That the City Clerk be authorized to write off the following city taxes. viz: Per- sonal property for the year 1886, $82.38; for the year 1887, $112.75; and for the year 1888, $203 25 $991 25; end also year 1887, $1408; and year And also poll tax for the year 1886, 1888, $1644.
