PETITIONS.
The Mayor presented the following peti- tion from the Executive of the Citizén’s Temperance Committee:
To His Worship the Mayor and Common Councillors of the City of Charlottetown : GueNTLEMEN,—The petition of the under-
signed, the Executive Committee of the
Ciiizens Central Temperance Convention for
the City ot Charlottetown, humbly sheweth,
that :
Whereas, The Canada Temperance Act, 1878, has been in force in this city during the past six years ; and " Whereas, The said Canada Temperance Act has not been duly enforced by our city police, whose acknowledged duty it is to enforce the same ; and
Whereas, In our late election contest, in behalf of the said Act, your petitioners found that the strongest plea urged against main- taining the said Act in force was on the ground that the police, under the direction of the preseut Chief of Police, Thomas Flynn, would uot enforce the séid Canada Temperance Act, inasmuchas that during the past six years the said Act has been brought into aaa by the now performance of duty by the said police under the direction of the said Thomas Flynn Chief of Police ; and Whereas, Your petitioners are fully per- suaded that the Act never will be efficiently enforced until we have a Chief of Police and 1 police force heartily in sympathy with the object and spirit of the Canada Temperance Act;
Therefore, Your petitioners humbly pray that you will discharge the said “Thomas
Flynn from the position of Chief of Police and

and he did so in a forcible speech, Many of the suggestions of the Rev. Mr. Jones had, he said, already been considered by the Assvciation, but they could not be car- ried out for the want of money. There were three ways of adding tu the funds of the Association: Ist to increase the num- ber of subscribers; 2nd, to increase the price of the tickets, but this would probably defeat to some extent the object of the As-

James strongly urged the aduption of this plan. He said further, that one of the yreatest needs of the Association was, an active, paid Secretary.
Mr. Seaman (President) said that the Association would be happy to enlarge the sphere of its usefulness if only the funds were provided,

Councillor Small, seconded by Councillor Davison moved the following resolution: —
Whereas, A petition is now before this Council from the Executive Committee of the Temperance people of this city, asking for the dismissal of Thomas Flynn, as Marshal;
Therefore Resolved, That Thomas Flynn's services be dispensed with on the 3lst Decem- ber next;
And Further Resolved, That Mr. George Passmore be appointed as Chief of Police, said appointment to take effect on the first day of January, 1888.
Councillors Morris, A. A. McLean and Byrne vigorously denounced the proposed action. They referred to the long services of the Marshal, to the fact of his recent hun- orable discharge from the charge preferred against him by Officer Costello, to the smallness of the number of citizens asking for the change, and to the fact that it was the Stipendiary Magistrate, not the Mar- shal, who was the head of the Police Force. They,wanted an explanation as to the reasons for the proposed dismissal.
Councillor Smali’s motion was then put, and carried on the following division:-—
Ayes—Crabbe, Small, T. A. McLean, Davison, McRae, Horne.
Nays—Morris, Byrne, A.

On motion the prayer of the petition was granted.
The petition of Geo. E. Full asked that the Charlottetown Milling Co. be exempted from city taxes for the ensuing five years. The letter also explained the nature of the business to be carried on, the amount of capital invested, etc.
Councillor Crabbe moved the following resolution, which was seconded by Council- lor T. A. McLean :--
Resolved, That the Charlottetown Milling Co. be exempt from taxation for five. years, subject to a by-law passed July 11, 1881, in- tituled ‘* A By-Law to encourage new indus- tries in the city of Charlottetown.”
The Mayor presented a petition from Stanley Bros., B. Balderston, Owen Connolly, and others principally on Queen Street, asking for the strict enforcement of the bye-law relating to swinging signs, etc.
THE NEW BYE LAWS.
Councillor Crabbe introduced a_bye-law relating to swinging signs, etc., which was read a first, second and thiro time and passed.
Councillor A. A. McLean introduced a bye-law relating to the keeping of pigs within the city, which was lost*in cum-
liquor was sold by. his clerk unknown to him and in his absence; further that the | witness had asked the defendant personally | for liquor, and “beea refused; and that the | defendant, when he so refused, did not know that the witness had obtained liquor from his clerk. ]

Lord Randolph Churchill made a speech at Stockport a few days ago, in which he expressed regret that there could be traced in Mr. Gladstone’s course every sign of aye except the possession of wisdom. The older that gentleman became the further he went wrong. His most devoted follower could not congratulate him on the Dopping correspondence, which ought to bé the last straw to break the back of that most patient and sagacious animal, the Radical caucus.
