go ovellin 0. worm did we the ratepayers
of Exeter, sit silently ±0 000 Sid, and
allow a set of imbecilic incapabs to
any further or longer eonduet the af-
fairs of our beautiful little village.
Have you seen the statemen or rather
misstatement 01 0511 committers? (if they
deserve the name) then wombs)" why
they have the 1)1 0/1311 faced ness to show
themselves ou our k re,ets. Wonder
why they haye escaped criminal prose-
cution, .Ancl why pot prosecute them?
why 00t put au end to this munieipal
jobbery, this ,vholesale robbery of the
people's money? Loss malicious crimin-
als occupy cells in penitentiary. As a
matter of fact the ratepayers of the
village have been deluded and cajoled
ei the past, and Wieepullers and little
narrow minded jobbers, and men with
a badge, ribbon or (Aber insignia of
some so called secret soctet, have been
selected to represent us in Council, and
good capable, citizens Who either will
not or can not stoop to unworthy
means of election are left at home. The
result, is that peahidministration, 111O1
0.3)10 and too often culpithility eharae_
terizing our representatives and their
actions.
Bad as our representatives in the
past have been, 11111111 I will be
endorsed by every right thinking Citi
zen when I say our present council
are even woise than auything we've
had-aed next irretrie,etable mistakes,
ssrievous, egregious bleeders were
committed by our old comic:Bs, every
time they went outside the .ordinary
little routhie of business. Look at their
deal some years ago with W. EL Verity,
School b0 VS 11051' lariat at the silly and
idiotic action of our representative,s iil
that deal. Leberal fellows they were,
but brai n less, Wit 11 110 ideas of business.
They gave all that was aseed of them -
gave it freely ,out of the people's pock-
et; turnel open the village exchequer
to Verity for ten years, if he wished to
make 123s3 of it for so long' a time; hut.
in return did they ask M. Verity to do
anything to enter into any obligatael
whatever. Not it thine, not an obli
gation-They say we °bound him to
build an extensiou to employ extra
men -They slid, yes, poor fellows, they
did, but for how lonie?-exemption. The,
mill, deal was auotrier cue -The 'toevn
Hall, another monument of disgrace to
the Council who are answerable for
these unfortunate blunders. To give
away money and property seern the
one idea our Councillors have been
possessed of.
They refuse nothing that is asked of
them. Let a lot of wags from all over
the county band themselves together
under the (mine of the Exeter aeicket
Club, and petition the Council to hand
over to them 510 of the peoples' money,
and behold it's no sooner said than
done; thoueei be it said, to Councillor
Carling's eredir, he very%trongly 1011
mated that it would be the last.
,Let the owner of a, dog, who is taxed
Si, ask a refund of $4 and lo the refund
is made, the village, is done up fbr $5.
Only last week week we were con.
fident of securine0. two flour mills for
the village but uo sooner were SUM Of
it than some of our more enterprising
councillors make it their business to
kill the scheme And' we find.' them
shamelessly going., about our streets
with a petition to, assist in closing out
one mill, and .why, beca- use forsooth.
We, second: till was to be erected a lit-
tle fertile's niaeth than suited their" nar-
row,selesh minds. But of all the hung -
Reg transactions of which any of our
Council'. have been ,guilty perhaps the
most outrageous wos that of the mar
ket removal, and after the village has
lost valuable property and sustained a
loss of $2,600„ by the infernal and mis-
chievous Lascality of these made:len,
they have the unblushing audacity„ to
DOW tell us that they did not think the
result et tlie removal would be . fait -
1u -e. De they, as they should be com-
pelled tiedoolrer to repay the village
what we hetve lost through their stu-
Piclity and pi=headed blundering. Af-
ter, .31 114' our property, incur-
riegetilh4e expense of that market re-
moyat, tityInd themSelves like so
111049 11 00 ice, unable to move et
fool10aliiels establishiug anything in
the shape of a market. They aro now
told and properly so, that they acted
illegally in using any part of the Town
Hall property for nmrket purposes.
Gibbeting in some parts of the world
would be considered but slight punish-
ment for such highhand and villianeue
work. In the outset rI ' asked you if
yon had examined the statement of
their work for the year. I leave exain-
hied it but I confess it'iii,too seholaras
tic a thing for the mind,cif tewoedinary
ratepayer. I have asked eXplana.
tion of 801110 et our councillors, but their
explanations are even worse than ',the;
statement. Oue Couneillor asked to
explain a $900 loan, replied that it was
interest upon motley borrowed. [± 11 be
interest upon money borrowed, then
add it to another sum shown bo' the
statement, to have been paid for in-
terest viz 51,200 and that in all gives
us $2,100 paid for interest OD money
borrowed, and it makes onr indebted-
ness over $42,000. Another Council -
ler of whom I demanded an explains -
tier), informed. inc that 82,500 of the eves-,
only 525. They Say if the ratepayers
are not satisfied they will resign. A
pretty mess theY would like to leave
for their sueccessors. I would suggest
Ili ey he allowed to finish their dirty
work, They started iti at the begin.
ning of their term of office with a sur-
plus of oyer $2,500, •and before they
were half the year in office they bor.
rowed $1,600. Next year their will
start with a shortage of about $400. r
woeder what they will borrow before
the six mouths are upou them. I will
have more to say next week. Thanks

Thellighest complimeet was paid to

ever was or eyer will be vouchsafed
to any troupe by the audience with
the exception of the ladies who weren't
accustomed to being frozen to death,
remaining throughout the piece, suf-

known amoug Arctic explorers as con.

I should like very much to gei to
night to the "benefit of the, poor" con
cert, but are you willing to go again
on Friday for my "Funeral Benefit."
Do the managers of the hall or the
troupe know that they aro bound to
keep the atmosphere in a state fit for
human beings, that it is an imposition
on the Public to invite them to attend
the performance and have suth cooling
arrangements as exist at present.
Can't they put a spring on the down
stair,door? Can they have re.gietrars
and ventilators to regulitte the temp-
erature according to the attendance or
have the Public to put up with every
inconvenience or stay away altogeth
I've heard it said by people in town,
'How 1s1 it no decent troupes come
here" esalow on earth can 'they when
the only inducement for them is to be
frozen or roasted? Las& night's troupe
was as good, if not bettes, than any

say of the accommodation, let alone,the
