Northern Pacific and Pacific Mail.

NEW YORK, May 28.-The Post says 1t is the
impression in the street that the Canadian Pa
cl1c railway has secured control of the Pacific
Mail and its interests are represented in the
board named Undoubtedly the object of the
Canadian Pacific was to open the way for the
contamination of trade between the Northern
Pacific and George Gould providing for
running steamers to Tacoma. This NAV
result in the establishment of another
steamship line, but this is deprecated
by Cakes, who believes the proper solution of
the question lies in the consolidation of the
Pacific Mail, Oriental & Occidental and Cana
dian Pacific lines and the recognition of Tacoma
by monthly or semi-monthly steamer to and
from that port. An arrangement of this kind
would give San Francisco, Tacoma and Van

VOTING AGAINST HIS SIGNATURE.
A Gentleman Offers Timely Suggestions to a
Councilman.

SKEDUNKvILLE, May %, 1890.
DEAR Toni have recently learned that
you have been elected by the minority to
represent your ward in the city council. I
have been in your position myself, barring
the minority, and from that experience
would speak. / was elected to the council
in the village of Skedunk and although we
had no street railroad and waterworks we
did quite bit of legislating on dog license,
open bitches, cows in the road. etc. etc
aud even went so far as to resolve that the
time would come when Skedunk would
have a street railroad Ours was a slow
council, but never could it be said that il
was sleepy one, collectively or individ-
ually.
1t has also come to my knowledge that.
you have been signing petitions for various
and sundry measures and then voting
against them. Now, Tom, when you put
your fist TO anything stick to it, One false
step like this might forever consign YOU to
''1nocuous desuetude." | speak from ex-
perience, dear Tom. L once signed a petit
ton to prevent chickens from running at
large, and before the meeting neighbours
hen began laying in my barn, so | voted
against the measure. 1t was lost; so was /.
l escaped the ''noc'' by reslgning, but the
'desuetude" still yearns beneath me.
OuAo 10 uOG qulbc IL parallel case. ddV-
ing been put there by the minority, Won
would not be Inundated by resigning All
you will have to do is to step down and out.
Should you make up your mind to serve
out your never begun term l would advise
you not to sign petitions that are TO come
before you. In the first place, it is in bad
taste, and then it gives your enemies a
chance to suspect that your neighbos's hens
are laying in your barn. Should business
get dull in the council and then an import
ant measure be sprung, avoid voting the
moment you awaken, but waituntil you are
more fully advised il the premises.
Should it hereafter be decided that you
are councilman in truth and in fact hope
these timely suggestions may be service
able to you; if it be otherwise, then it mat
tiers not how you have voted and how many
petitions you have signed
shall watch your career with much in
terest, dear Tom, firmly believing that
whatever mistakes you may make in your
official life will be made this term. Yours,
as ever, A FRIEND FROM SKEDUNK
