THE SEWERAGE QUESTION.

Dr. McLeon’s paper, which we publieh today, must give o distinct impetus to the discussion and decision of the Sewerage Question. sewerage is essential to the continued development of the city and to the main- tenance of the value of its property; for everyone sees thatthe people of this age will not be attracted towards or persuaded to live ina town that is not furnished with the mdern conresiences common to other towns. But the necessity for sewerage frem the point of view of public health is not clear to many persons in view of the alleged fact that Charlottetown ir, even without sewerage, one of the healthiest cities in Canada, Dr. McLeod’s argu- ments, backed up by the opinions of sanitary experte,is conclusive upon that

point. It isclear, at any rate, that the blind wells ought to be filled up or used only as @ means of carrying off the waste waters pure from the taps. The evil day may be postponed by carefully keeping out of them —as mnavy have already learned to do—all but the comparatively clean water from the bath tubs. But Dr. McLeod shows that organie matter con- tinually poured into the earth and ground water must eventually prove dangerous to the public health. His words upon this poist are particularly worthy of note. Of course we can go on for a time using ashes ava filter and deodorizer,—and carefully cleaning out a)) sinks and privy vaults or boxes several times in the course of a year,—aad perbaps escape “ the pestilence which walketh at noonday.” But we have no right to mae conditions which will involve posterity in euch ad saster; and for our own comfort we need the greater conveniences which can only be obtained in connection with a system of sewerage.

We presume that the sewerage questior will be made an issue in the coming civic election,—either with a view (to the returo of Councillors pledged to take the matter ud in a practical way or to its submission to the people by means of a Plebiscite. Io any case we hope to see a good discussion and a right decision.

et NOTES AND COMMENTS.

~—A prominent Liberal in Montreal suggests that Mr. Tarte he sent to China to return the visit of Li Hung Chang!

—We note thut the Presbyterian Wi:- ness ie celebrating its fiftieth anniversary and beg to extend congratulations. This is also, it we mistake not, Taz Examiver’s Jubilee year.

—lIt is reported that twenty-one repr?- sentative members of the Liberal party in Quebec have signed a round robin asKing for the retirement of Mr. Tarte from the Cabinet. Me. Tarte said a short time ago that he would retire if three such memters so required. The question now is will he doit? Weincline to the opinion that, in any case, the Premisr will decline to part with his “right band man,” his “bosom friend” for whom “nothiog is too good.”

—News of the murder in India of Sir Henry Havelock-Allan is confirmed. His father wae the celebrated Sir Henry Have- loek, the hero of Cawnpore and Lucknow, during the Indian mutiny. He servedin the Persian expedition, 1856-57 and was with his father in the campaign against the rebels in Oude, He assumed, hy royal license the additional surname of Allan. From 1874 to 1881 he sat as member of parliament for Sunderland, but resigned nis seat to assume command of a brigade at Aldersshot. In 1896 he was elected member fur Durham, southeastern divi. sion. He married Lady Alice Morton, daughter of te Bari of Buel. It appears that after visiting Lundi-Kotal, Sir Henry Havelock-Allan, coming from Ali- Musj-d,

with an adequate escort left the latter in order to hurry toJamrud. Sir Henry was always prone to take chances, it is not clear whether his body was or was not anutilated.

—It way concerning the deeds of tae father of the General Havelock Allan Ailied in India a few days ago that Tenny eon wrote:

Hark, cannovade, fusilade! it was true what was told by the scout

Outram and Havelock breaking their way through the tell mutineers ?

Surely the pibroch of Europe is ringing again in our eas!

All on a sudden the garrison uttera jubi- Jant shout,

Havelock’s glorious Highlanders answer with cooquering cheera,

Sick from the hospital echo them, women aod children come out

Blessing the wholesome white faces of Hayelock’s good fusileers.

Kiesing the war barden’d hand of the Highlander wet with their tears

*‘Dance tothe pibroch !—raved! we are saved !—it is you ? itis you?

Saved by the valor of Havelock, saved by the blessings of Heaven?

“Bold it for fifteen days!” we have held it for eighty seven !

And ever aloft on the palace roof the old banner of England blew.

Mr. Small thinks that Canadian butter, if put up in one or two pound boxes, would find a ready sale.

Large quantities of cheese are consumed.

They are principally from the United

States, and the retail price is from 18 to 20 cents per pound, There is a large demand for eggs all the year round.

Fresh eggs were. at the date of writing ef Mr. Swmall’e letter (Dec. 22) being sold retail xt 48 cents per dozen; store eggs were 38 cents per dozen, and seldom go below 25 cents per dczen. Mr. Small says there is also a good demand for bacon, bame and dressed fresh beef. Apples are in @ limited demand and the trade in these is already mostly in the hrads of Canadian firms. Pressed hay is Jargely imported and retails at the rate of $1.12 per hundred pounds.

FARMERS’ AND DAIRYMEN’S AS- SOCIATION

Semi-Annual Meeting

The Farmeis’ and Dairymen’s Associa- tion of P. E. Island heid their semi-an- nual meeting in the hall at North Wilt- shire on Thursday, Dec. 30th, 1897.

R. Munn, Esq., Marshfield, President, occupiel tne chair, and among those present was vice-President Edwards, of North Wiltshire.

After the transactior of ordinary busi- ness the President gave a pleasing ad- dress on the object and the operations of the fsrwers’ societies, showing a ne- cessity of such.

Mr. Joseph Wise, M. P. F., Milton, fol- lowed, expressing his pleasure at meet- ing 80 many representative farmers and also giving his experience in the use of fertilizers and the results theretrom. Mr. Joho Clark, of North Wiltshire, read an excellent paper on “The Keep- ing of Farmers’ Accounts.” He pointed out the importance of farmers keeping their accounts in a systematic manner. Mr. Jobn Gill, of Little York, read a paper on the subject of “General Farm-

pone aed ieaen

proper inspection of cheese for the Province, the merting closed. James D, McInnis, Secretary, Head St. Peter's Bay, Dec. 30,97

It was subsejuently decided that branch societies wishing to secure a visit from the Executive of the Central Aesociation be invited to correspond with the President, R. Munn, £Esq., Marshfield; or the Vice-President, John Edwards, Esq., North Wiltshire; or the Secretery, Jas. D. McInnis, Head St. Peter’s Bay. It will be necessary, how. ever, to hold a public meeting during the visit of the Executive.

POWNAL SCHOOL EXAMINATION, The annual examination of this school took place on Thursday 30th December. The junior department, taught by Miss Finlayson, was first visited. Here a smiling group of tidy children were waiting seemingly anxious for the contest. The different branches were taken up in turn. The ready answers given by the pupils reflected credit upon themselves and their

ing.” He dealt with the changed condi- tions of farmiog and compared the work of the present time with that of the olden days when the soil was in its virgin state. He dwelt upon the utility of fertilizers and referred to the that farming which had de- clined under the old system was now progressing most favourably under dairying and co-operation. The necessity of farmers uniting and urging upon the government the great need of direct steamship service with cold storage for the English markets, was also forcibly pointed out,

Mr. Edwin Edwardes, a young farmer of North Wiltshire, read ao interesting

aper on “How to Make the Products of the Farm Pay.” The paper was mostly directed to good breeding, and many valuable hints were thrown out.

Mr. Jobn Balderston, of the same place, congratulated the young men of North Wiltshire on their capital papers. He cautioned farmers against living be- yond their means.

Mr. Chas. Waye, of St. Petets, Mr. Chas. Clow, Mr. Craig of Bedeaue, and Mr. MclIsaac of St. Peter's followed. In the coarse of their remarks refer- ence was made to the good results gleaned in a representative meeting of

Mr. J. Brenton Dawson wili leave for the Klondyke country next month. It is understood that he will engage in trade in Daweon City.

Mr. George McSweeney, of the Hotel Brunswick, Moncton, was a few days ago presented with a handsome chair by the boarders and guests at that popular hos- telry. The gift was accompanied by an address appropriate to the occasion, to which Mr, MoSweeney replied in fitting terms,

There are quieting reports regarding Mr.

and Mrs. Gladetone’s health. They at- tended church Christmas and appeared to be very feeble. Mrs. Gladstone had to be led tothe communion table, while Mr. Gladstone was compelled to cling to the choir stalls on his way there. Mr. Glad- stone’s sight is worse. On leaving the church he failed to see his carriage, which was only two yards off. London Vanity Fair says that Patti ie really marvellous, She never sang better than on Ssturday last (Dec. 18) when her clear restful, velvety voice filled every cranny of the great Albert Hall. It is easy of course, tosay,as some do, that Mme Patti sings only songs that she has mastered, that she avoids so far es ashe may, al] notes other than her middle notes — and all the rest of it. But the fact re- mains that there is atill but one Patti, who bas no rival. She is 4 wonderful woman and a divine songstress, just as blithe and bonny as ever. The house was enthusias~ pe a8 only Patti can make it.

this nature, while regret was expressed that the attendance of delegates from the different branches was pot larger. It was suggested that the organization should be extended in order to make | the co-operative system more complete.

Mr. T. S. Robertscn, of Red Point, spoke highly of the papers read at the meeting and spoke of the difficulty of applying business principles to farming. Nevertheless he believed this to be the proper and best payiug method ol cor- ducting a farm.

Mr. Fred Vessey, of Little York, dealt principally with the necessity of providing cold storage.

A discussion on cold storage followed, taken part in by Messrs. John Gill and James MclIsaac.

Mr. Shaw, of Winsloe Road, spoke on the benefits of the co-operative system in purchasing supplies for the /armers,

Mr. Daniel W. Hendersor, of North Wiltshire followed. He believed in a board of farmers being appointed for the purpose of giving all possible infor. mation regarding sheese and the proper time and place to offer the Island's output for sale.

Messrs. P. MceMarus, Robert Ford, Wise, Henderson and Craig followed. The latter pointed out the necessity of adopting and following certain lines of breeding, and avoiding the crozsing of one line with another, as such was detrimental to pure breeding.

The President brought the addr: sses to a close by urging on the farmers to send only their best milk to the factor- ies as only in this way could a uniformly good article be produced. He advised jarmers not to be too easily annoyed when their milk was returned, but to realize that only by such care and atten- tion in securing a first-class quality of milk could their factory products win a

reputation and command the leading market prices, Mr. Hendersor, seconded by Mr.

Balderston, supported by Mesers. Waye, Mcisaac, Craig and cthers, moved vote of thanks to the young men for their valuable papers read at this meeting. Carri-d unanimously. After a few remarks

teacher, and showed that a sure foundation is being laid. The examiners were, Mrs. (Rev.) J.C. Sparr, Mr. A. A. Moore and the Principal.

Atthe conclusion of the examipation Mrs Spurr expressed herself as highly pleased and gave the puvils some good practical advice. Mr. Moore also spoke in @ similar strain, concluding his remarks by wishing the teacher and pupils a happy and successful New Year.

After a hasty dioner we found oureelves atone o'clock inthe “inner temple” of learning where the finishing tcuches are being put on by Mr. J. M. Jones. Several other visitors arrived among whom were Mises Amy Carver and Miss Birdie Smith, former pupils but now students at P.W.C. The examination in reading, arithmetic, geograpby, grammar, geometry, Latin, etc. was most thorough end highly satistactory

Mrs. Spurr contributed much to the success of the examinaiion, in which she took very active part, and at the close, in a few well chosen words, complimented the teacher and pupils upon the success of the examination, The trustees, who take a deep interest in the welfare of the schoo! also expressed their satisfaction at the, progrese made. Mr. Jones, ina very neat speech, thanked those present for the:r kind words of appreciation, and hoped that a greater number of the parents would be presen‘ at the next examination to see and hearfor themselves whatis being done. This would be an encouragement te ieach- ers and pupils alike. Parents, turn eut en mass pext time.

We are pleased to see that tend+rs are called foranew P, W.C. building, as there is a number of Mr. Jones’ pupils who will soon want accommodation there. The singisg of God Save the Queen brought the exercises to a close. —Com.
