              THE EVENING TELEGRAM. VOL. 14. PRICE : ONE CENT. ST. JOHN'S, NEWFOUNDLAND, FRIDAY JANUARY, 22, 1892. $3.00 PER ANNUM. No. 18 SUMMARY OF THE DAY'S NEWS. LWk are requested to state that there will no choir practice at Gower Street church to-night. A ll connected with the George Street choir are aeked to attend the practice to-night, in the basement, at 8.45 o'clock.

This time the reverend gentleman gives bis attention to r! fisheries of British Colombia.

A magic lantern entertainment in connection with Queen's Road Band of Hope will be held in the basement of the Chnrch bis (Friday) evening, commencing at 8 'clock. Admission five cents. All are nvited. 44 Boodle " is a stock phrase of the Herald in bis attacks on Councillor Power, he popular member for Ward Four. But he oddest part of the business is that all he •• boodling " was done while Mr. Goodellow, the present Oppoaition candidate for fard Three, was Chairman of the Council. Consistency, tbou art a jewel! Mr. Donald Morison, ac will be observed rom bis letter in another column, shrinks rom a discussion of the Macpherson caie with our correspondent "Eoquirer." Mr. Morison eaye : " Life ie too short to allow a busy man to answer anonymous letters." It is a fact, however, that '* a busy man" can always find time to write " anonymous letters " when there's some political axe to 'j rind! One of our ablest writers ie collecting data for a bietory of Newfoundland, and expects to have bis manuscript in tbe hands of tbe printer at an early date. We are warrauted in expecting from bis pen a really valuable record of tbe colony's social political, commercial and religious life. Tbe Harvey-Hatton bietory is simply a compilation from the works of Bonnycaeilc, Pedley, Tocque and others, and therefore poseesees no interest for the student or auy one else. To the Electors of Ward 4: Gkntlkmen,—You Lave now reached ao important crieis in municipal government, aud it heboovee you striously to consider wbat action on your part would be most in harmony with tboee righte and privileges which are your special heritage, and which, at the same time, would be most conducive to the well-being of the municipality in which you are personally and collectively interested. Gentlemen, it requires no elaborate arrangement of word? u> explain your position in The f'usvm Municipal Crl»i». Two candidates are, in the present election contest, soliciting your suffrages, and but one reasonable and consistent course is open to you. In this matter you have to ignore personal feeling altogether and take the premises simply hs they 9tand. The two gentlemen soliciting your euffrages are well fcnotOM to you—very well known—and you are in honor and in the consciousness of the iutegrity and patriotism by which you have ever been characterized in the past, bound to lake An Imimrtiul View of the Situationand, so far as you possibly can, in the exercise of your own judgment and descrimination, without any side-issue or petty personal feeling, decide what will be the wisest and most suitable course to take, in consideration of the most important prin<:iples and interests involved. And, gentlemen, in considering the respective merits of the candidates (Messrs. Power and Tobin) allow mc to say, in the first place, that the one has a record in the management of civic affairs and tin: other has noi ; and while you profess to be personally interested in the Wiftt* itiid Economic Expenditure of the TttxeM which yon, yourselves, gentlemen, from time to time, will have to pay, you cannot afford to overlook this very important fact. I repeat, gentlermn, Mr. Power has had • bra, ytars of experience iv Municipal Gtovernmeot, end thi§ fact alone commence him to your warmest sympathy and gives him a prior claim to your votes, on tomorrow (Saturday) when your choice will be finally decided. Gentlemen, Mr. Power not only has experience to recommend him to yonr favour, but there is tbe further consideration that, during bis tenure of office, be Enjoyed the Unnnlmoiie Confidenceof bia brother Councillors, and, not long after his election to a seat in the Council, he was unanimously elected to tbe chairman's office, which position he has held with untarnished honour and integrity up to the present time. Gentlemen, there is yet a farther and very important consideration —a consideration, gentlemen, to which I feel assured you will give very special consideration. Mr. Power is one of yourselves, —flesh of your flesh and bone of your bone. —a genuine son of tbe soil, whose interests are identical with yours! Gentlemen, I repeat, Mr. Power's interests are identical with yours. He has large investments in fee-simple property in this city and it will be To Hie Own Interest, ac Well Hβ IT ours, to go in strongly for wise and economical Municipal government. 1 refrain, gentlemen, from indicating many other available points which may be employed to show that Ward No. 4, in to-morrow's eltction, is in honor and duty bound to show a very marked preference for Mr. Power, as againet tbe other candidate. You know, gentlemen, what these points are ; you can, in tbe exercise of your superior judgment, call them up to yonr minds, appreciate ibiiii and, at tbe polling booths, " Govern Youreelvett Accoid- Inirlj." Gentlemen, you are now called upon to do your duty, »• without fear or favor." You are tbe best judges of tbe matters herein set before you ! You will not be preiudiced in your decision by newspaper squabbles, but your own superior wisdom will readily suggest to you the one feasible couree 10 follow. That couree, gentlemen,—l pay it with all due respect to Mr. Tobin—that couree—the only reasonable couree, under present circumstances,—is to Vote I iittiiiiiioiiMlv for lour Friend, Councillor Power, conserving labour interests for your own ward and shutting oft a possible ir.flux of labourers from outlyiog settlements in which Mr. Tobia baa business connections. Gentlemen, but one thing now remains to be done, that is that you come to tbe front on polling day, wilh one consent: cast in your voted, readily and willingly, for tbe popular candiiiatt—Councillor Power—and make Saturday, the 23rd day of January, A.D , IH!'2, to be forever remembeied as a red-letter day in the bidtory of Municipal Government in this ancient and loyal colony.
