CiViIC ELECTION,

Tux candidates for the Mayoraliy and

City Council are personally known tothe

eiectors, To plesume to give the electors advice as to the personal characters and abilities of the candidates is therefore unnecessary and impertinent. Both Candidates for the Mayoralty have} publicly declared themselves io be in favor of sewerage, and both have

pledged themselves to be governed by the wishes of the majority, to be indicated on the day of election by means of an inform- al plebiscite. As to sewerage, Mr. Hujrhes avd Dr. Warburton stand upon com ground, If it were the duty of the city to provide a physician for the City Council- lors difficulty deciding that the doctor has the superior

ability and the higher claim. But everyone

there would be no in

ean readily eee that the skill of the ductor is n0 more needed at the Council Board, in so far as civic interests are concerned, than the ekill of the druggist. We have heard some urge that the

Doctor, as Mayor of the city, might, per-

persons

haps, be able to obtain favours for the corporation on account of his close rela-

tionship to the Premier of the Proviave.

But we fancy that neither the Doctor vor |

the Premier wil! thank those advocates of the Warburton candidature who use this Srgument. It is an argument that smacks of log-rolling and the Family Compact; it is ap argument pointing to a restoration ef the old-time conditions which the honorable, liberal and highly respected father of the Doctor wnd the Pres ier—-

aided by Twe Examiner—strove a9 atrenuously and successfully to abolish. IJ: seems to ue thatthe main

point in the Mayoralty election lies in the fact that the doctor has had no exyerience am the conduct of civic business, while the druggist hae. Mr. Hughes has been a City Councillor for eight years, and he has long occupied the responsible position of Chairman of the Street Committee. Will the citizens for whom he has labored show that they appreciate the services he has thus rendered, or will they show no appreciation aod give nO encouragement to City Councillors to exert themselves on behalf of the corporation ? That is the question which will be decided on Wednesday nex: by those who-will vote for Dr. Warburton and Mr. Hughes. Every man—at least every man of public spirit —naturally craves public recognition of his publie

services ; and we have nodoubt that Mr. |

Hughes wiil esteem the favorable result of bis candidacy for the Mayoralty as a high honor, all the more precious because it will be an expression of the appreciation of hia past services for the corporation aud people of Charlottetown.

As to the candidates to the position of City Councillor, some have already placed themselves on record in respect to sewer- age. We know exactly where Mr. Donald Nicholson stands. We know where Mr. Taniou stands. Webhave no doubt that Mr. Crabbe will, at the public meeting to be held this evening, give a full and clear expression of kis views as {to tewerage. Others have yet expressed their opinions; and their electors are, up to this

not

time, inthe dark as to what action they will, if elected, take in view of the event of the mformal plebiscite to be taken on election day. We hope that no candidate will try to gain the votes of both‘parties by leaving their positiouopen to equivocation upon this point. Either by meaus of a card published in the newspapers,or by fair aud square, open and above-board statement at apublic meeting, the electors ought to know what to expect in regard to sewsrage from the men for whom they are asked to x0t*.

—It is stated by the organs that the government is very strong and united. But wan’t there @ trace of weakness and divi- sion somewhere in the failure of the Gor— erpment to fill the vacant senaturship for Prince Edward Island?

~~Mr. Bertram who is this afternoon moving the Commons Address in reply to the Governor General’s speech, is a strenuous advocate of the policy of pre- tection. He will, of vourse, refer to the €outinued prosperity ot the country under the continued operation of the N. P,— slightly altered for the worse.

—It is remarked that very few organs of the Government are just now strenuous advocates of prohihition, and the St. John Sun remarks that ‘they all appear to be eng»ged in trying to pursuade the peop'e to vote nay, in order to relieve the govern ment of further res pousibility.”

ESTEEMED EXCHANGES.

St. Jolin Sun: “The Globe says that ‘the mejpnity now behind Sir Wilfrid Laurier is large and united.” This means sat Mr. Fraser ie large, while Mr. ‘Larie and Mr. Biair are united.”

THE BRITISH ARMY.

STRIKING SPEECH BY LORD WOL- SELEY, COMMANDER IN CHIEF.

England Can Send Abroad a Stronger and

Hetter Equipped Force Than Ever

Before in Her History.

Field Marshal Lord Wolseley, com- meander in chief of the army, svoke a few nighte ago atthe annual dinner of the North London Rifle Club, which took p'ace in the Holborn restaurant. The guests comprised several well known military officers, and one of the survivors of the tameus “Six Hundred” (Henry Herber:, late 4th Dragoons).

Lord Wolseley said he did not believe that any nation in the world had existed n modern times that conid%aspire to be ai once a great military and a great naval power. We did not pretend to be a great military power, but we did pretend to be the greatest naval power in the world, and they might rest contented and secure when they lay down at night. (Cheers.)

As to the army,a great deal had recently been said about it, and he felt some little difidence in speaking ot it, as he knew something of the subject. (Laughter).

‘ihey were told ad nauseam that the

arn y was suffering from disorder, and from every calamity and disease that a body politic could suffer from; andif a

foreigner were tojudge ot our forces by the statements that were made broadcast he would come to the conclusion that our } army consisted of two men and a boy, and that even they were far from strong. (Laughter.) But he would be puzzled to findthe reason why people took sueh pleasure in so describing the army, which had done such great things in the past,and had recently been distinguishing itself and covering itself aud its country with glory in one of the most trying and difficult campaigas which had ever fallen to the lot of the army. (Cheers.)

So accustomed was he to read that the army was in 8 moribund condition, that he looked in the newspaper each morning expecting to find

THAT THE ARMY WAS DEAD

and gone, and to read its obituary notice. (Laughter.)

He did not take that gloomy view. He knew that the army was not in the condi-~ tion many people wished them to believe. He did not mean to say it was perfect. As an officer said to him the other day, they | bad for vears been trying to solve a most | difficult mathematical problem. “This is

what is the matter with the army ?” said | the officer ‘You have been trying to fill ;a quart pot outofa pint.” That really

deacribes the situation. We bad been struggling to fill the quart pot of the army

abroad out of the pint pot of the army at home.

But the nation has awarded, and has come to the coaclusion which was arrived at by military men lorpg ago—that the machioery of Eagland—was overstrained; we had not the requisite machinery at home to turn out what was required by our army abroad, That was the malady, but it wae a malady which was easily remedied. We had only to increase our battalions and batteries to place and keep the army in the condition in which it ought to be main- tained, (Cheers ) 3

With reference to the frontier wars to which allusion bad been made, and which be hoped were now completed, whatever might have failed or hive broken down, one thing had not been broken down and that was the British soldier. (Cheers.)

In connection with that fron:ier fighting statements had been made

ABOUT A CERTAIN BATTALION,

He had taken the trouble to inquire into the circumstances, and he found that that battalion began by marching thirty miles en one day and twenty-seven miles on the pext—and that, too, during the hottest time of the vear.

Me thought they would admit thata regiment that could do that was by no means aregiment of children, but a regi- ment of well trained and well-disciplined men,

He had heard it said a great deal that the army was @ paper army and that it bad pot been tested.

There are many unbelieving Thomases in the world. He would tell them, as a positive fact, upon which he would stake

his honor, that if the government decided to gv to war and to send an army abroad, we could put on board ship at the quays oo the sea coast of England, and at our ports, two full army corps, complete down to the very last possible stores that would | be required, and that that could be done a | considerable time before the navy could have the necessary ships to carry them from those shores.

He felt sure that at no previous period |

' ; i

o our military history could any com- mander-in—chief have stood be fore an audience and have said what he had just | stated. |

He would go turther, and say that those two army corps would be composed of the FINESY MATERIAL IN EXGLAND

and the army would go abroad stronger than any army that had ever left these

at any previous period in our |

(Loud cbeers.)

shores history.

To the critics of the new proposals to | nerea-e the army, who had said we had nowhere to go for men, be would say that we bad the whole Jatoring population of England at eur backs.

It was noi a question of

men, but of

wages. If men were paid they would serve, Finally, his lordehip said: “I wish

tonight to assure you thatthe army is not in the condition which many peopie have described.

“That it has ite faults, and that cer- tain changes are needed, no one will deny.

“The government are fully alive to that fact,aod are anxious, I will not say to reform the army, but at any rate make it capable of performing its duties, and of maintaining the high standard of integrity aud renown that bas been handed down to it by our forefathers.”

A new and very valuable tine, eqnthin- ing gold, silver, lead and copper has been discovered in the East Kootenay district, British Columbia. Mr. James D. Fraser the discoverer, bslieves it to be one of the riehest mines in the Kooteaay district. The discoverer, Mr. Fraser, isa native of Windsor, N. S., and a brother of Prof, C. F. Fraser, of the School for the Blind. Halifax.

Beginning May 3 and ending November 23, the number of sheep shipped from Montreal to Liverpool was 117,240; number of cattle, 10,051. In addiiion to the above there were shipped from Quebec 1,941 cattle and 616 sheep. To feed there it required 16,329 tonsa of hay and 4,945 bushels of grain, while 5,386 men jour- neyed across the Atlantic to look after the animals.

The Grand Trunk, according to their freight returos for 1897, had a very suce cessful year. The total increase for the year in outward freight tonmage was 100,- 600 tons from Toronto, which means an

increase in their receipts of about $38,000." The increase for freight inward wad) $11,000. '

Three Montrealers have returned from the Klondike, having secured claims valu- ed at from $50,000 to $75,000.
