SEVERAL CITIZENS INDITE EPISTLES, Burnette Objects To Some State- "--~-gments Made By " Property Owner "--McCann Hopes To See City Own Gas And Elec- tricity. Kingston, March 18,-~(To«the Edi- tor) : In your issue of the 17th imst., appeared an article re the by-law, ete. signed "Property Owner," which, to say the least, is a breezy and reada ble effusion.' The only regret that I can express is that the writer did not sign his name, in which case I might have something to say, which will not appear in this rejoinder, The writ er remarks: "It might suit very well in New York state, where he is said at one time, at least, to have been 4 member of the bar there. Whether he is so still or not, or in good stand- ing there as such, is unknown to the writer." If "Property Owner," will drop a letter to the "County Clerk of {he county of Munroe, Rochester, N. * he will soon find out whether I am a member of the bar of New York, and will find niy oath recorded in that office as admitted to the full degrees, | attorney and counsellor, of that state, at thd October 'general term of the supreme court, A.D., 1874, and so | have been a member of that bar for nedrly as many years as my friend who wrote his article is old (if 1 have the right party in mind). And he can . also find out at the same place whether 1 am in good standing for if I am not, the order disbarring me will be found in 'the same place where my oath as attorney and coun sellor is filed. 1 will say this further, | that 1 would not be .a member in | good standing had 1 ever presumed upon anv occasion to anticipate a de cision of the appellate court of my state, in advance of its being render ed in due and proper form bv said court. And I will say further that no court in the world will permit sucha practice, and the surest way in the world for a lawyer to pet | out of his good standing | is to attempt to trade upon decisions | that have never been made. Amd I} will say further, that there has been | no decision of the privy council in | this case, and will not be until Ap til, and it may be not then. There are several ¥llusions to myself in sa id article, to which 1 can make no re ply, because the writer saw fit to screen himself very judicious! , as | thik, under the immature of "Pro perty Owner." From certait legal phrases, as "deponent saveth not," ete. in the arti 1+, it is evidently the | work of a member ] ef the legal pro fession. But as newspaper ethics for bid to even make a gupss as to the identity «f pith who write under ficti ious titles, I can pursue that phase no further. To conclude, 1 have this advice to give to P. 0. and that is when next he gets ready to name any of _ his | fellow citizens ir the publi: prints with the vi:w of saying unpleasant things, that he buy a gold-painted, and if need be, a diamond pen, so that he may emblazon his fall naw | at the end of his epistle in letters of living lizht the better to serve as a shining target for the well-pointed arrows that may lie concealed in the quiver of tis antagonist, and fur ther, "deponent sayeth not.""--M, 8. BURNETTE. Gas And Electric Light Plant: | Kingston, March 18.--(To the Fdit or): As the time is drawing near when the frecholders will be asked to pronounce on the purchase of the gas and electric light plant, it seems | scarcely necessary to take up ore of your valuall: space in discussing this question, but as a member of the Property © Owners' Association, 1 would like to have an-opportunity of expressing my humble opinion as ol the great advantage derived by every citizen, whether he by a con | sumer or not, by the acquisition hy the ¢i.y of this valuable utility. It] is a source oi satisfaction to know { that, with but exception, the pul li: discuseion of this question on fo platform and through the press, has been favorabl:, and that one per son has not a dollar's worth' of pro perty in the city and is not tven a naturalized citizen. T am led to be | lisve though, that. members of the to be one company are trying to make smell property owners, who are not con sumers, believe that it will not be to their advantage to support this mea sure. 1 have this to say, that I'am so convinced of the henefit that wil accrue to the citizens generally, that L intend casting five votes in its fa vor. although in two of the wards in have property, the occupants using the service. li firther necessary. to prove that this was a good thing for the citi zens, I have. only to point out the fact, that 'Brockville, which has recent lv acquired the light and heating plant, have already signified their in tention of reducing the cost of gas by one-third in July next, and the cities of Montreal and Toronto are taking steps to control these utilities Let every property © owner, therefore, whether he. be a consumer or not, turn out on Monday and aot which | are not evidence was only vote for the by-law, but assist in bringing others to the polls.-- Your truly, J.

Tells The Toronto News AS To The French Cana- dian, Who Is The First Com- moner. It is a curious fact that the oaly member of the House of Commons who first saw the light in Toronto is a French-Canadian, writes R. Kk. in The Toronto News He is also the Speaker, or will be on March 10, if nothing untoward happens In 1860, when the peripatetic Par liament of old United Canada was putting ih its four-year termi in To- routo, a son arrived in the houschold of a civil servant named Delcourt, who, while a faithful and eflicient clerk, held no very important post The youngster was destined to be the future First Commoner of Cana- da, and he was to show, on his way to that eminence, an indomitable will, combined ~ with a savoir that some politicians lack. French Members Understand English, There is not in the House of Com- mons a single French-Canadian who does not understand English. Per- haps the last representative who was monolingual was one Lippe, a babit- ant from Joliette, He had no word of the language of the majority Time did not hang so heavily upon his hands, however, for he slept six- teen hours a day. Since the passing of Lippe, the Fronch-Canadians have had not a single representative who could not get along fairly well in English. Most of them speak it very well. Few of them have no accent. Lemieux, the debonair, good-humor- ed and capable Montyealer, who sits for Gaspe, has no French tang to his syllables. Neither has Belcourt, who passed a good part of his life amidst English-speaking Canadians, Belcourt in especial probably em- ploys English half-a-dozen' times to once when he uses French. In Otta- wa, where he has a thriving law practice, the language of businéss and professional life is English. In their homes the Frehch-Canadians use their mother tongue, but in the day's work the more widely under stood medium is employed. Belcourt's Fine Culture. Belcourt has a fine knowledge of both literatures, 'and his speeches in the House since, in 1896, he be came one of the members for Ofta- wa, have evinced his fine culture. But he has seldom been heard from. From the Parliament Buildings to the law office of Belcourt and Ritchie is but a couple of minutes' walk. A man with Belcourt"s practice canpot well get away from clients when the telephone hangs handy. Neither, it is to be feared, can he cscape {rom tho insistent office-hunter. It is to be doubted whether his elevation to the Speakership will exempt Mr Delcourt from the importunities of the latter class Mr. Speaker exer- cises a vast amount of patronage Here in Toronto the Provincial Gov- ernment retains for itself the ap- pointment of messengers, sessional clerks and other employe of the Togislature, but gin Ottawa the Speaker has all such patronage in and most of the in- cumbents of Jho@hrosition are very Jealous of their Lrivileges Mis High Ambition It is said by some that Delcourt's ambitiofh is to secure uw stat on the Supreme Court Bench Sir Elzear Taschereau isjan old man, and his retirement cannot be long delayed Delcourt would make an adequate successor. The fashion of appointing nobody but grandfathers to the high- est cpurt in the land seems to have become effete, mo that Kis youthful- ness could not beibrought up in judgment against the new Speaker. A Mest Likenble Man, Belcourt is one of the most like able of men. He numbers, probably, more personal friends among the English-speaking Protestant popula= tion of Ottawa than any other man of his blood. lle is an admirer of that division of our population, but his first love, as it is fitting, is his own people. When he was a vounger man, the féeling between claws in Ottawa" was not as cordial as it now is, and Delcourt, though he is a broad-minded man cannot forget sundry hard things that were said bv too enthusiastic Protestants. His temper Is placid, but it is not mud- dily stagnant Not many vears ago he flow into roval rage he cause a fat-brained English-Canadi an thought to pay him & compli ment by remarking that he was "a pretty decent fellow for a - French man.' Beleourt"s mildness vanished and he made a few animated re- marks to that complimentary gentle- mat A Self-Confessed Chump.
