is no bogy -conjured up to frighten the

unless the extravagance of Mr. Mowat
be stopped,, and the beat way to do
that is to turu him out. The following

2ud—That the Clerk promised to
call for their tender, but failed 'to do
so. This is fully answered by Mr,
Eacrett in a letter which will be found
in another column. 113 declares to
be a, falsehood, Dot, supposing that
Mr, hacretb did promise to call for
their tender, we fancy that they, as
clever business men, would have seen
to it that, if he did not call ou them
they would call on him. They could
easily have prevented. the Clerk from
pIayiug any trick on them by watching
out for hitu, as they have no confidence
in hitn, they say. Ile passed their of-
fice a very few minutes after six o'clock
when they could have given them the
tender. Ile passed within '20 rods of
the dwelling of the principal who is not
the principal within a few minutes af-
ter six. The second fiddle man who
says Iasis principal passes within a few
rods of the Olerk's house half -a -dozen
times a day; and finally the Clerk pas-
sed by the door of the office to our
own knowledge not less than four times
an Saturday, the day after they were
to send in the tender. Aud yet,are the
people prepared to believe it, this very
sharp firm of business men never saw
fit to speak to him about the teuder !
And they had their tender prepared to
hand to him too1 How that confiding,
innocent, trusting disposition of theirs
was taken advantage of by that wicked
°lark! How childlike they were when
the Clerk was dein his wicked work.
Bub after all, the Clerk informed us on
Saturday afternoon that he would oall
at the post office in the evening, and
if there was no letter for hirn then it
would be their last chance. We demur-
red to this, thinking that if we had in
ons tender in the proper time, they
should have had theirs in too, because
our tattler was really signed and filled
out six days before it was handed in.
The next poiut is.
&a—That their tender was prepared

1n conversation with the Reeve the
second fiddle who says he is first fiddle
declared that he had not heeded the
tender to the Clerk at the proper time
because he thought be would not get
fair ylay from hien. But their tender,
las well as the letter which accompain-
i ed it, was written on the Sabbath Day.
tTbey are both dated 27th April, two
days after they should have been given
IMr. Eacrett. The fact that they pot -
it on Monday morning, as they
themselves State,is 2nima facie evidence
that they vio;ated the sanctity of the
Lord's Day iu prepaying a, tender for
the village printing. Yee, while some
Orme neolle were mayhap wending
their way to the Dul's sanctuary or
nniting their voices to swell the hymns
of praise, other pious people were
writing a tender fur printing. Ana this

Finally, the -verdant young men who
allowed the Clerk to thus cruelly be-
guile them, both confessed that they
had nothing to urge against the time
allowed them. And will the readers
notice their charming consistency; they
say in their paper that they 'were pre-
pared to hand the Clerk their tender
had he called for it ; they tell the Reeve
on Monday, after the C]erk ilea re-
turned their tender 'Unopened, that they
wouldn't give the Clerk the tender be-
cause they had no confitterme in him—
e well-timed compliment to,The upright-
ness of the Reeve at all .eveots, how-
ever much to heart the Clerk may take
their lack of confideuee bit hirnself.' Bet
the fact of the matter is this: They'
know they we have always come under urer for payment in suite of the pro-
tium, in tendering ; and having reason
tests of Mr. Baker and the statement
to believe our tender was in at the prop-
er time,they hit upou the happy idea;of
sending iu an outrageously low tender should nave had the work. This is
which they knew the Council couldn't
accept, hoping that honorable body
would require us to accept the same
figure. The ratepayers can judge who
has noted honorably in the matter of
printieg—the Council or the men who
try to malign them,
Pathinasters' Guides, worth, say $4 at
the outside figure; but 1,200 Were
printed,not because the printers wanted
money, by any means, but they pro-
bably thought it would be economical
for the Council to gat enough to last
thema good while. for 1,200' will last
14 years, there being 89 pathmasters
in the township. By, keeping this
printing out of the paper, they. no
doubt hoped to keep us from knowiug
anything about it. We have shown.
that this was a scandalona violation of
centre:et ou the part of the Reeve. But
there is another thing. When the bill
was put in for the $12, he cut it down
to $10 and gave an order on the Tres -
the way Mr. Hogarth values his posi-
tion, and this is' the way he takes upon
himself the responsibilitiesofthe town-
ship. This shows that Mr. Hogarth
cares nothing ebent economy, and that
his talk in :that direction is a sham.
The prices charged for the Guides are
. nothing less than downright robbery
_
of the township. They are outrage-
ous. Any office would do the same
work for $0 and cohsider themselves
Last January thoClerk of the Town- 11 il. i Topa bat $12 WM cher ed
ship of Stephen was Instructed to noti-
fy certain priutiug offices that the
township printing for 1879 would be
let by tender. Two • offices tendered.
Our teueer was the lowest end we were
awarded the contract. But before the
motion in Cenocil to that effect was
passed, the Reeve and the other mem-
bers of the Beard required to know if
piinting not 4142400d in the tender
would be done ate, proportional rate to
the prices named in the tender. The
promise was given and every member of
the Board,iucludiug the Iteeve,unid that,
We then should haro *41 the printing.
This was fairly understood by all per -
ties. About a month ago a by-law for
the opening of a road in the township
required to be publietied. The office
which lied tendered bet had not melee
ed the mite -net became aware of this,
and, with the assistance of the Reeve,
- attempted to get the work, al tliongh
we had contracted for it, and were un -
'ler bonds to the amount of $100 to do
it. Various devices were resorted to
to take it from us and award it to the
other °facie, but being aware of what
11.9 going on, we checkmated every
move, rand te due time got the by-law.
When speaking to Mr. Hogarth, the
Reeve, at the time, he readily admitted
that the jell belonged to us, and we
thought then that no more attempts
would be made to violate' the contract.
But we were mistaken. Oa Saturday
lest WO learned that a hill of tea dAtirs
had been neid the other office alledod
to foe printing twelve hundred Path -
mestere' Onides. Thi' was a direct
end ecanattleus violation of the con-
tract, winch we were henna, as we
have before observed, in $100 to exe-
cute reecording to law. Title item of
ten anthers was not. in the minutes of
the 'Conecil as published in the Trines,
though ell the other orders granted at
the hot meetieg were mentioned, fled

publiehed. We immediately proceed-
ed to the residence of the Clerk of the
municipelity and dentine ded an es plan ft,.
tion, We tell the *tory now as he told
it : It was the fault of Mr. Hogarth.
When the bylaw. to wludh we have al-
ready elinded, was about to be, publieh-
ed, one of the proprietors of the ether
office went to Mr., Prouty's residence •
and told him. that Mr.. Hogarth wished'
the by-law to be published in their pit -
per, and also that he wished to See Mr.

and $10 paid by Mr, Hogarth. It is
time the ratepayers of Stephen were
made aware of the dirty little trainee -
tient which some men under the as-
sumed garb of honor, can perpetrate.
We leave the people of the townAhip
to form their own Intinion of what
manner of man Mr. Septhems Hogarth
ie. We would like to know, end we
feel eertein the ratepayers of St Then
wonlil like to know who gets the cesnal

when the ()tinting is dime at the other
° kNreee have wi 'Vett three other priut-
. ing offices, euciosiug copy of Guides,
asking what they -would charge for
1,200. We have received nee auswer
from St. ittlarye. It says : "We wonld
do 1,200 sheets such AS yen enclose
for $5 ; 'would not like to take lees
than $4.54)." We hese pieced a fair
price at six dollers. The ratepayers
of Stephen can then see what a bate -
faced piece of jobbery has been perpe-
trated upon them. For this the Reeve
should be held to a strict acconnt.
Unless the Ciovermeent of Mr.
Mowat, which is supported by Mr.
Bishop, be defeated on the 5th of
dine, DIRECT TAXATION IS iNBTITAEL.B.
Every foot of land in the Province will
be teed for Provincial purposes. It
will miously add to the burdens of the
people, who think their taxes are al-
ready high enough. There is no bald
assertion in thio, as Reformers contend.
It is susceptible of easy proof. The
receipts in 1808 were $2,260,177 ; in
1878 rimy antouhted to $2.2.14,421—a
sliget decrease. The ordinary exeen-
clitnre in 1871 was $1,10:3,822; in
1878.e it Was. $1,900,004—au inereese
of $79(3,118 in the ordinary expendi-
ture of the Province in seven years, or
an inerettee at the tate of 71 per ceut.
Assuming that the receipts will remain
the Male es in 1878 during the next
five years, they will, in that time, in
all, amount to $12.272,105. The ex-
pendieure, increasing, as it hasdone,
at $100,000 per year, will, in. the Rune
time, total $14,852.705, leaving a de-
ficieney of $2,1320,460, whieh can bo
provided for in no other w iy thau by a
DIRECT TAN. ON TRH LAND of the Prov-
hte. This 13 a codons mutter, aud
ought to set every taxpayer thinkiug.
