matter of the election of a Board of Trade treasurer has been brought up for discussion in the news papers it might be as well to point out that mere popularity is not necessarily a high qualification for the office, and that if amy officer of the board has been re-elected to office for many succeeding terms, in spite of alleged unpopularity, it must be because he has the necessary qualifications and has proved useful and painstaking in\u2019 his duties.You published a record of the attendance of ihe members at the meetings of theCouncil, from which it appears that the treasurer was absent from but one meeting, beating in this respect the record of all members save the president whose faithful atteadance in view of \u2018his great business interests in widely separated parts of the Dominion, is creditable in the highest degree, and Mr.John B.McLea, one of the most respected members of the Corn Exchange who did mot miss a single meeting.Such faithful services should not be overlooked.Mr.Judge could have mo worthier or more chivalrous rival for the honor of election to the treasurership than Mr.Esdaile who has aH the qualifications for high office in any association.Mr.Esdaile\u2019s services to the Board of Trade and to the Corn Exchange, of wideh association he was president for a time, as was his father before him, ave been valuable.Mr.BEsdgfle is a very busy man who has a- thopeugh knowledge, of and gives close attention to: this own business, and such a man usually fulfils a public trust with like care.The election campdign between two such candidates cam hes conducted by their mespe Hve friends.in Be pes pe ty Fg aoa candidates a friend, and of Mr.A SUPPORTER.- Sir,\u20141 observe in last night's \u2018Star\u2019 a letter signed \u201cAnother Member\u2019 regarding the election of Mr.Judge as treasurer.Without desiring to make invidious remarks it must be quite clear to all well informed members that there is a desire for a general change in the occupant of this office.It showed that Mr.Judge had been six years in office out of seven.How is it that he has not long since been promoted to a higher position ?Why is it that his re-election is bound up with that of Mr.Ogilvie ?\u2018Another Member\u2019 asks what Is my object in scribbling to the papers.I answer to remove a false impression, because inspired articles appeared in the press, from which members of the board who take little interest in its af- falrs would be led to sympathizé with Mr.Judge, as if he were badly used.In other words we want a fair fieid.Mr.Esdaile, who is a candidate for the office, is a sharp active business man, and from his position on the »uilding committee, and the attentive interest displayed, has earned the respect and confidence of the board.The secretary and his assistant do all the work, but some of the old officers have managed to give a few of the members the impression that they themselves deserve the oredit.MEMBER.Montreal, Jan.24, 1894.> Y.P.8.C.E.ELECT OFFICERS.The following officers have been elected.by the Young People\u2019s Soclety of Christian Endeavor: President, Mr.Charles Fraser;

EXCITEMENT, THE OLD MASTERS UNAPPRECIATED.The announcement that four paintines, - from the brushes, respectively of W.P.Frith, R.A.; H, O'Neil, A.R.A.; W.C.T.Dobson, R.A.; and H.Lejeune, A.R.A.; would be sold by auction aroused considerable interest amongst picture lovers in the city.They had been on exhibition in the recent loan collection in the Art Gallery, and had been generally admired.\u2018Dolly Varden, \u2018Bridge over the Collties,\u201d \u2018The nutgatherers,\u2019 and \u2018Happy thoughts,\u201d were regarded as characteristic examples of the work of the fren mentioned, and when it was stated that they would be put up to auction as part of an insolvent estate, there was quite: a flutter in art circles.Mr.Hicks\u2019's auction rooms vesterday afternoon, and, long before the sale, discussed the pictures from every point of view, the unanimous verdict being that they were genuine and of :mdoubt- ed value.It explains, too, why we give space to a sale which, in many particulars, was possessed of more than ordinary interest.Was {t in very truth a Corot?Was that landscape, those figures in |: the foreground which contrasted with the sombre tones, painted by the master, the magic of whose name, in any sale of plctures,:is potent to detain the um- idealistic business man from his dinner?Or was it a daring fraud, a simulacrum, clever enough to be dangerous ; sufficiently verisimilar to seduce \u2018the Judgment ; characteristic enough to baffle, tq extort at last reluctant homage, and the eloquent cheque?To say truth, there was a mystery about it.Last.year a certain person came all the way from France with that Corot.Genuine?Bah! It was worth $6,000.Meantime, would Mr.Hicks give a small advance upon it?With the advance the man disappeared.That was all.The silence enfolded him.Bnquiries, to be sure, were made.There was no response.poses of explanation, of association with this gem of the master, he had passed into the void.Mr.Hicks was, then, the happy pos- gessor of a Corot, worth $6,000.Since last May he has been in this enviable position.There was not much said and the people passed in and out, of his store, unconscious of the treasure.Vie tuosos have been knowm to swoon with joy when brought face to face with an example of an old master for which \u2018hey have been searching for years.- LD a.Lhe 0) DOCS TOR: 8 7 ATR TN RECT THIS COTOT, Sole tiemen, and ninety-nine persons out of a hindred, have pronounced it genuine.I have had numbers of Frenchmen, famil- jar with Corot\u2019s works, to look at this picture, and they all pronounce it genuine.One man who had said he believed it genuine,\u2014and you know him well,\u2014 said as he was going out, \u2018Well, I'm doubtful.\u2019 \u2018How are you doubtful when you have sald tt was genuine! \u2018Well, Mr.Hicks, how came it here?was the answer.\u2018Ah, gentlemen,\u2019 sald Mr.Hicks, sadly, \u2018there is where it is\u2014\u201c \u201cWhy is it here?\u2019 This is what I have hcard for years.There is a clique in this city, gentlemen, and it is the business of this clique to decry thé pictures I introduce, on the ground that they are niot genuine, that they are pot boilers, and so forth.\u2018Why, the other day, ladies and gentlemen, I brought a gentleman through this whole place, right to the garret, and he said that though he had been in Montreal all his life, he never thought there was such a place in fit.Why?Because he had been prejudiced by the constant argument that you need never expect genuine work to come to Montreal.Yet I have handled some of the best pictures, produced.Now, gentlemen, I put no price on this Corot, You will do the bidding.There is no reserve.Here's a speculation for you.You can make five or six hundred dollars.Need I say anything about Corot?No.You Know his work.You know that his pictures self for $5,000.AH who have scen this pioture say it is genuine.\u2019 If it is\u2014that\u2019s the question,\u2019 remarked Mr.Lindsay, secretary of the Art Association, to one in the audience.\u201cThere is a doubt about it.There is no guarantee.\u2019 \u201c \u2018And if it's genuine.\u2019 remarked Mr.Denny, sotto voce, \u2018it 1s worth $5,000; if not'\u2014\u2014 \u2018Ah, then, if it\u2019s not, it's not worth Having at all,\u2019 said his neighbor.The Corot was neld in position by two grave looking young men who were too much accustomed to handle great masters to be thrilled to any appreciable extent.When you have greatness by the frame all the time a little of the glamor wears off.The background was of dark cloth.A splendid light was concentrated upon the Corot.\u2018Now, gentlemen, you know Corot.Enough.Start the bidding.\u2019 \u2018$10.The voice came from the centre of the audience.\u2018Did arybody speak?Mr.Hicks's voice was faint.With hs right hand he clutched the post behind him for sup- 4 port.\u2018I said $10.° There was the voice again.And, mark, the owner of it was quite undaunted.An immense silence fell upon the audience.For one moment the tongue of Mr.Hicks seemed to cleave to the roof of his mouth.He was stupefied.A pensive grief sat upon the countenamices of the two young men who held the Corot to the light.This constituted a reproach of ineffable polgmancy.\u2018The gentleman offers $10 for a Corot.And if he got it for $10 he would regret it.He would be breaking his heart be- forefhe reached the door.He would be saying he was swindled.He would not believe ft.The bidding was slow, and when it reached 3150, Mr.Hicks said\u2014\u2018The picture is mine.Any gentleman who now offers me $2,500 will have his offer considered.I don't say I will accept it.\u2019 :| hours.In short, for ali pur- | There was an eestatic.fhrili.tn that The group of men and women assembled yesterday afternoon in Mr.Hicks's auction rooms smiled langnidiy.But this was only an interlude.Mr.Hicks sold over ffty pictures in two The interest centred in four p.c- tures belonging to the insolvent estate of À.S.Ross, Coaticooke, which have been on exhibition in the Art Gallery.These were: No.1.\u2018Dolly Varden,, by W.P.Frith, R.A.This picture was paintid 24 the artist for the late Charles Dickens, Usa, No.2.\u2018Bridge over the Coilties,\u2019 Glen Urquhart, Scouand, by H.O'Neil, A.R.A.No.3.\u2018Nu tGatherers,\u2019 by W.C.Dob- son, R.A, No.4.\u2018Happy Thoughits,\u2019 by H.Lejeune, A.R.A.: No man can catch a bid quicker than Mr.Hicks.For the stimulation of rivalry, he has a positive genius.\u2018Fifty dol- lars\u2014Mr.Jones, will you allow me to gay fifty-five?1 think I know your tasite.I have sold you pictures for sweat a bit of marine work as I ever saw.I know you will thank me Aor suggesting that other five dollars.\u2019 e people are looking at Mr.Jones.Mr.Jones blushes.The homage to Mr.Jones's taste, works its subtle way from the phrenological organ of self-esteem to \u2018his pocket.Mr.Jones is conquered.But there was \u2018Dolly Varden,\u201d now painted by Frith in 1841 for Charles Dickens.There might\u2014perhaps, \u2018have been a little tenderness.The associations were rich and affecting.Still, figures have: their eloquence, too.\u2018You all know Frith, gentlemen.Remember, that this #8 the first time an R.A.has been sold in Canada.Frith is now an old man.But his pictures sell for two thousand guineas.This Dolly Varden belonged to the great Charies Dickens, and when his estate was solq, it brought eight hundred pounds.Why.if vou were in London, you could pawn it for $500.People have no confidence because it's mold here.Look at the back\u2019\u2014(back turned to audience)\u2014\u2018there is Thomas Agnew & Son, stamped upon it.This is the name of the best firm of picture dealers in the world.\u201cThere is no doubt at all but this is a\u2018Frith,\u2019 said Mr.Lindsay.\u2018With the exception of the Corot, about which there is a doubt, the pictures are all genuine,\u201d observed Mr.Denny.\u2018But this is Montreal, and not London,\u201d sald Mr.Hicks.Neither Dickens, nor the two thousand guineas, nor the fine stroke about lending Dolly Varden to one\u2019s uncle in sudden stress, for the consideration of $500, moved the audience to adequate appreciation, Not that anybody doubted that Frith painted the picture, nor that it had hung dipon the walls of Dickens's house at @adshill, where himself had painted pictures for the heart and memory; but ea ttor ta art Tee DE ey mit po R A C.47 .After this it was meet that Mr.Denny should get O\u2019Neil\u2019s \u2018Bridge on the Coilties,\u2019 for $120\u2014worth, according to Mr.Hicks, about $5,000.\u2018I have bought this picture cheap,\u2019 said Mr.Denny, with an air of self- felicitation.The \u2018Nut Gatherers,\u2019 by Dobson, was knocked down for $70 to Mr.Lusher, who, thrusting the bitter complaints of outraged citizens out of his mind, gave himself up to the contemplation of art, and the outbidding of his rivals in cautious bide which prolonged the suspense and gave a fillip to the event.Mr.Wainwright obtained \u2018Happy Thoughts,\u201d by Lejeune, for $100.Mr.Patterson, a Jacques, \u2014 \u2018Shepherd and Sheep, Moonlight,\u2019 for $7.After that there was not a great deal of interest left.Some forty-six pictures went at prices ranging from $5 to $50.A water color was knocked down at eight dollars.\u2018The gentleman who has bought this picture, charged me $7 1-2 for the frame.This is what we have to suffen, gentlemen,\u2019 said Mr.Hicks.» There was a Turner\u2014a genuine Turner \u2014but there was no enthusiasm left.Mr.Lindsay went as high as $250.Mr.Hicks added $1,000 to the bid, and said there was no responsibility, as it would be only upon approbation, He had instructions to get a.certain bid, and there was a reserve in this case: and he was desirous of getting a fair bid for a Turner in Montreal.The picture was put back.A Landseer, a Dore, and a Rosa Bonheur shared the same fate.tamed THE CIVIC FINANCES.THE CITY TREASURER SHOWS HOW THEY STAND FOR THE CURRENT YEAR.Mayor Desjardins intends to submit the following.(which he has had Mr.Robb prepare for the purpose) to this afternoon\u2019s \u2018meeting of the City Council:\u2014 \u2018 Hon.A.Desjardins, Mayor: Sir,\u2014In reply to your request for a statement of the city\u2019s financial posl- tion for the current year, 1 beg to submit the following, using round figures «nly for simplieity\u2019s sake.1st.Revenue Account \u2014The amount available for the general and ordinary expenses of the ciay for 1394 will be, say, $2,850,000, which may be, roughly apportioned as follows : TI'or interest funded debt and floating debt and charges, $925,000; schools, $300,000; committees and.reserve, $1,625,000.Total, $2,860,000.Of the latter item $220,000 hag been anticipated, by reporis already passed by Council, and will form the first charge upon it.2nd.Loan Account.\u2014The new borrowing powers will admit of a total issue during the next four years of say $8,- 500 000, which is disposed of as follows: Existing arrangements (anticipating the issue of half the cost of Pine avenue and Bleury street, imposed by the Legislature) $1,000,000.Set aside for railway purposes, $1,000,000.Total, $2,000,000, leaving a balance of $1,600,000, to be used ri ty: at the rate of $375,000 per annum for v À f star ae LE ES eras it mMecessary te the extensino of the water, drainage and paving systems, to keep pace with the growth of the city during that period.After establishing the debt of the city as above, however, the Legislature granted an application to relieve Mliton, Inspector, Cathedral, Lagauchetiere, Ontario, Beaudry, Pantaleon, St.Catherine (Desery to limits) and Viger square of one-half the cost of thelr widening, and to enable the city to pay the same, agreed to ralgse the basis of the borrowing power from $160,000,000 to $163,000,000.(15 percent on the extra $5,000,000, just furnishing the requisite $750,000) but the certified copies of the act, which have since been received confine the total to the original $160,000,000 and reference to Quebec confirms the accuracy of the figures; consequently this $750,000 must come out of the $1,500,000, reducing the $375,000 per annum by one-half.Again, subsequently to the imposition of half the cost of the streets above- enumerated, the Legislature sanctlomed widening of Guy street without making any provision for the ways and means of doing so; so that ithe city is left without the necessary funds to carry these out.Such is \u2018the financial position at the moment.The above estimates are based on the total amounts of the loans authorized, as it is impossible \u2018to enter into minute details here, but as the proceeds only of these will be available subsequent statements, after the loans have been negotiated may considerably modify the figures.Respectfully submitted, W.ROBB, City Treasurer.City Hall, Montreal, Jan.25, 18%4.\u2014_\u2014 .THE EMPEROR AND THE PRINCE.THE LONDON \u2018TIMES\u2019 COMMENTS ON THEIR RECONCILIATION.London, Jan.25.\u2014The \u2018Times\u2019 com- mentg as follows upon its despatches \u2018from Berlin concerning the reconcilia- | tion of the Emperor William and Prince { Bismarck: \u2018The most reasonable explanation of the Kaiser's action, so far as it is political at all, is that it is intended .to disarm Bismarck\u2019s hostility during an important international crisis, for as such the Russian treaty is recognized.This is rendered all the more possible by the attitude Bismarck lately has consistently adopted in regard to Russia.He has never ceased to declare that in Russia's friendship lay Germany\u2019s true interest and safety.He, therefore, would not be likely to wish to destroy the treaty.Thus it is pretty certain that the reconciliation Von Caprivi or any change of policy, national or international.Nobody knows better than the Kaiser and Cap- rivi that the coming year is likely to be one

Bismarck, with all his faults, is above all things a patriot, this will not be difficult.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 QUEBEC CARNIVAL NOTES.(Special to the \"Witness.\u201d) Quebec, Jan.25.\u2014Great fears were entertained that last night's heavy storm of wind and rain would do serious damage to the ice fort and other carnival constructions, but they were groundless, as the storm abated during the course of the night and the weather has again turned cold, which has had the effect of only strengthening the different structures.Advices received indicate that a number of snowshoers propose to even come from Winnipeg to the carnival.Another party is coming from Springfield, Mass.and a large excursion is announced from Truro, N.S.Among the hockey teams from a distance are the Electrics of Oitawa, a team from Morrsburg, the Winnipeg team and one from -Dartmouth, N.S.Harry Husle, of Toronto, and Harley Davidson, of St.Paul, Minn., with A.D.Stevens, of St.John, N.B., and Mc- Culloch, the Winnipeg skating champion, Lave been entered for the rapid skating events, while it is reported that Montreal is sending three of its best runners, McMahon and the two Sykes, to compete in the snowshoe races.A detachment of the Natfonal Guard of the State of Maine is also coming to attend the carnival.tf \u201cCONTRABAND TRAFFIC IN TOBACCO.CANADA THROUGH POINTS IN THE MARITIME PROVINCES.(Special to the \u2018Witness.\") Quebec, Jan, 2%.\u2014The Council of the Quebec Board of Trade having notified the Ottawa Government that an extensive contraband trade in tobacco is being carried on between points in the Maritime Provinces and the Interior of the Dominion, received a rather curt reply from the Customs Comptroller, Mr.Clarke Wallace, to the effect that no great amount of credence obtained to their insinuation, which was too indefin- jet, and that it was to his knowledge that the Maritime Provinces were exceedingly vigilant.This reply appears to have nettled the council, for at their last meeting it was resolved to send him an answer expressing the surprise of the council at the tenor of his ]ztter ana stating that the council cannot be expected to specify cases of smuggling in tobacco and other articles but that the wholesale grocers of Quebec were prepared to give the Customs Department sufficient information to satisfy the au- thoritles that the contraband traffic in tobacco is far more extensive than it is generaily thought.men THE POPE AND CURRENT EVENTS.Rome, Jan.25.\u2014The Pope is preparing an important address which, it is said, he

re-inforcements of troops to thet country immediately, At Aldershot camp a detachment of muli- Nigh cn pd Spe a tary mounted police and some of the best cavalry din the British army, together with one or more infantry regi- menis received orders, during the day, to make all the necessary preparations to proceed immediately to Egypt.It is understood \u2018that the Government lis preparing to secure additional troopships from among the large ocean steamers, as a number of the regular troopships are either in service or disabled.The comments of the newspapers upon the situation of affairs in Egypt confirm the reports of the gravity of the situation.The \u2018Times\u2019 says that the Khedive must be made to understand that Egypt does not exist in order to be his plaything.The \u2018St.James Gazette\u2019 says that it is high time the Khedive was taught the limits of his position and that he must cheerfully accept the control that England is obliged to exercise over Egypt.or else he must ne deposed.Other themselves in a similar manner and the English newspapers express general sentiment seems to be that the Khedive must be taught a lesson.According to the reports received here, : an

the Khedive warmly received the companies led by Egyptian officers and hardly returned the salutes of the English officers.In addition he kept up a running fire of loud comment such as, \u2018IT am ashamed of these men,\u2019 \u2018Disgraceful,\u2019 \u2018Scandalous,\u2019 etc.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 SWIFT RETRIBUTION.GEN.CAMPO'S DEATH AVENGED, New York, Jan.25.\u2014The \u2018Herald's\u2019 Point Au Prince correspondent wrilcs that on Dec.19, 1893, Gen.Campos, Gov ernor of the Azua district, San Domingo, was ambushed and assassinated while riding on the public road.A few days later President IJeureaux passed over the same road, but with a strong military escort.The sudden shying of a mule while passing a thicket at the roadside attracted attention.The escort plunged in and captured six men with dynamite bombs, which \u2018they had intended throwing at the President had not the strength of his escort preven:ed.An investigation took place and a conspiracy was revealed.Two brothers, Carlos and Pablo Baez, nephews of the ex-President, were implicated and imprisoned.On Dec.19 Heureaux sent for a brobther-in-law of Gen.Marchina, and told him to get a suit of clothes, as he was going to take a trip to Azua.\u2018One suit will be sufficient,\u2019 gave a grim significance to the words.Gen.Marchian was a candidate for the presidency in the last election.They embarked upon the presidental yacht and went to Azua.On Jan.21, Gen.Marchina and \u2018the brothers Baez and the six would-be dynamite throwers were executed by shooting, the former three on the very spot where bloodstuins still showed where Gen.Campos Lost his life.8he rites of the Church were refused and also a request by Marchina to be allowed to write a note of farewell to his wife.with whom he had mot been allowed communication for twelve months They were buried in the roadway, where passing wheels and hoofs will soon obliterate all traces of the graves.To the prayers of the families for the remains, to give them dscent burial, the reply was made, \u2018Any one touching these graves will be instantly shot.\u2019 J THE SEARCH FOR COLGATE.Spokane, Wash., Jan.25.\u2014The party which started from Kendrick, Idaho, to hunt for George Colgate, who was left in the mountains by \u2018the Carlin party, has returned.The party reached the mouth of Black

towards a private employer.In the case of the latter, the employer's eye is usually upon the man who serves him.In the case of a public employee the confidence reposed in him is greater, the safeguards more limited, and his opportunities for sacrificing his employer's interests more fraquent.- Hence, an abuse of his trust is more serious and more sternly condemned by the public judgment, as well as by the law.The greater the responsibility the greater the crime when power is abused, public confidence violated and the treasury robbed.There can be no pardon for the soldier who sells the pass.\u2014_\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014 THE \u2018UNWRITTEN COMPACT.\u2019 Mr.Prefontaine has threatened that if Mr.McShane is elected in preference \u2018to his own objectionable nominee he will organize the French vote so as to secure that none but Frenchmen will ever be elected thereafter, the so-called \u2018unwritten compact\u2019 being thenceforward at an end.Mr.Prefontaine is consid- \u2018| ered astute, but could anything be more stupid than this language ?In the first | place, it is a proclamation of his own bossism, and it is better for a boss to remain unproclaimed.In the second place, it is a very simple method of registering the whole English vote in perpetuity against himself and his nominees.The English will, as hitherto, heartily support French candidates, but Mr.Prefontaine\u2019s comnection with any of them will be a positive injury to them as far as the English vote is concerned.In the third place, if.Mr.Prefontaine would know that the threat would tell most powerfully against the candidate on whose behelf it was uttered.In the fourth place, the appeal to tho \u2018unwritten compact\u2019 is simply impudent, inasmuch as it is at present the turn, not of a Frenchman nor of an Irishman, but of an Englishman.That compact, as far as it has any form at all, is that the mayors shall be French, Irish, French, English.There, has also been a general understanding that if any mayor wishes to retain his seat for two years he is at liberty to do so.The demand made by Mr.Prefontaine now carries the claim to a point to which it was never carried before, namely, that if a French mayor remains in for only one year the French have, under the compact, the right to the rest of their innings.Had an attempt been made to plead this view of the compact in favor of an Englishman, Mr.Prefontaine and his sectional gang would have simply howled it down.What makes the mater worse is that Mr.Villeneuve is not now being put forward for the remainder of Mr.Desjardins\u2019 term, but for a full term of two years.If the English carry in Mr.Villeneuve it will be in spite of Mr.Prefontaine and as a dernier ressort to protect the city from a representative who will take the trouble to travel the world to befool it.The English have always been ready to yield points like the one we have just quoted, feeling how much power any assertion of their rights would put into the hands of such sectionalist demagogues as Mr.Prefontaine, who has never shrunk from exploiting the anti-English ery both in the east end of Montreal and at Quebec.Our own advice to the English is, and long has been, to give up the unwritten compact altogether and always select a Frenchman.It must be admitted that the choice is now in the hands of the French whether the mayor be French, English or Irish.If the mayor was a Frenchman the choice would be in the hands of the English, and the probability is that the French would be the better represented, as they would have to put forward their best men.\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014e MULCTING THE CITY.One of the newest and most vigorously exploited methods of getting money out of the city is the making of claims.Anyone can make a claim, seeing that it does not at all matter whether there is any sort of legal claim or any common sense in the demand or not.When the claim 1s made, a sub-committee is appointed by the Finance Committee, and the sub-committee almost always recommends that it ve paid.The odd case in which such a recommendation is not made is the one in which the claim is well founded.The claims of Mr.Mec- Tp RA SRL AAR ato brs BAS Tas mane mbm DER 2 an .: .oe eed oy oa Fa nlite we mg Sa her, ; Le À Lr ove hy KL a ar ee da, Oo TER PRES ait y [SE Pa D knew anything of English voterg: bé sort.The assumption of the aldermen that the city owed him damages for his not being allowed to do an illegal act like selling some Kind of alcoholic beer would seem too preposterous for even the most silly or the most disreputable alderman to consider.If Mr.McClana- ghan thinks he has any claim it should be referred to the courts, but for not doing that the excuse of the Finance Committee probably is that if the matter should gome before a jury it would be certain to go against the city.This was\u2019 the excuse in the notorious Plourde horse case.This excuse amounts to a declaration that the people of Montreal are, as a rule, dishonest where public money is involved.The charge is too true, and one .of the great misfortunes of having to live among a thoroughly dishonest population is that the public purse is certain to be bled right and left.Even, however, if we should admit that it must needs be that the public purse shall be plundered, it is fair to add, woe unto the trustees of the public purse by whom it is plundered, whether they do it through indifference and cupidity.One would think fromm the readiness with which claims against the city are granted that the granting of them was among the aldermen\u2019s most cherished perquisites.The alienating of public franchises is another thing which seems to give our aldermen very special delight.What in the world is the sense of the leage to the Goif Club ?The Golf Club, or any other citizens who will behave themselves properly should be free to use the park for purposes of amusement.Police regulations should be made by which they shall be protected in so doing and whersby the public shall be protected while they are playing, but all that could be done without handing over a large portion of the people's playground for the rest of the century to amy one «et of citizens.The proof that the golfers, or some of them, knew that they were asking for something unreasonable is found in the.active canvass made in the interest of the Golf Club in favor of Alderman Cresse, one of the most undesirable men for alderman that has ever been urged upon the public.The request of the botanic garden is a more exactly the same way.Secure to the applicants the use of any number of park acres for the cultivation of trees and flowers, but do it under full reserve of the rights of the public to roam the ground under no other limitations than \u2018are necessary to the protection of the \u2018plants and flowers.r 5 THE FUTURE OF CANADIAN CANALS.The future of the Canadian canals is becoming a matter of ever increasing importance to the people of the United States, who are interested in the problem of cheap transportation of grain and other agricultural products from the west and the north to the Atlantic seaboard and Europe.Prominent American engineers, transporters and grain traders are already discussing the ques- a twenty or twenty-five foot chanmel by the great lakes and the St.Lawrence river from Duluth to the sea might be made an international undertaking by the United States and Canada.These men think the time has very nearly arrived when the growth of the trade, the necessity of cheaper transportation and the development of some special conditions render it necessary for the transportation trade of the whole great lake system to abandon the diminutive New York canal channel and take the natural channel by way of the St.Lawrence river.The question bas been discussed at meetings of American engineers and transporters, and the growing number of those who are not willing that the interests of the west should be sacrificed to the interests of New York state and city expressed strongly favorable opinions as to the immediate future of the St.Lawrence river route.New York will, however, make a long and determined struggle before she will relinquish the trade.Her rulers are, however, becoming alarmed over the prospect of Canada\u2019s rivalry, or at least they affect alarm in order to induce the Legislature to spend large sums upon the Erie canal.In his last address to the New York Legislature, Governor Flower referred to the benefit which the canal had been in pouring the trade and commerce between the great lakes and Europe into the lap of New York, thus depriving the Mississippi and the St.Lawrence of it.He pointed out, however, that danger was now arising, and that Canada, which had already spent sixty millions upon her St.Lawrence canal system, was spending more millions, and that soon she would have a fourteen-foot channel between Lake Superior and the sea, which would accommodate vessels of two thousand tons, and enable them to pass with unbroken cargoes from Duluth to Montreal, or Halifax, or even Liverpool.The Governor dwelt upon the rapid growth of the lake transportation trade of recent years and upon the pro- -bability that the commerce would increase still more rapidly in the near future.Was New York to resign the trade to Canada ?That was the question.It is time Canadians took a more evi- ma ey dh A AI sae dent and active Interest in a problem A serious one, but we should treat it In: tion as to the conditions under which | Clanaghan are of the utterly unfounded | which is of such immense importance to them, and which, if we are to believe the Americans, is approaching.a solution which may have within a comparatively short time a great effect upon our trade and commerce.For some years the Cana- dtan Government has been pursuing a policy of drift in the matter of inland navigation.It has been languidly working upon plans adopted years and years ago, and our people have been willing to have it so.Sir John Macdonald once promised that a comprehensive scheme would be planned out by the Govern- ment\u2014to-morrow or next day \u2014but tomorrow never came for him as far ae this question was concerned.The Government, in a fit of alarm over the possibility of the American Sault Ste.Marie canal being closed to Canadian vessels, suggested by the retaliatory action of the American Government in levying tolls upon Canadian vessels, determined to construct a Canadian canal at the Seult, but that is all that is new in our policy for many years.There has been no great effort to increase our lake transportation trade, and it has not greatly increased.This year, in consequence of the extremely low prices of grain in Chicago and the lowness of freight rates on the great lakes, owing to vessels being thrown out of work by \u2018the depression in the iron trade, Canadian transporters did a larger business than usual.Between seventeen and eighteen millions of bushels of grain were received at Montreal by canal, all but a small quantity of which was for export.This was a very large proportion of the whole quantity received at Montreal, and statistics show pretty clearly that the grain transportation trade from the west will be done by vessels and not by railways.A comparison of the quantities of grain and grain products conveyed by rail and by canal to Montreal this year seems to furnish conclusive evidence on this point.The following table gives the receipts in pounds of all grains and grain stuffs received at Montreal during the year 1893, and shows the number of each and proportions of the whole brought by rail and by canal : Total in Lbs.By Canal.By Rail.\u2018Wheat .495,425,640 411,197440 84,228,200 Corn .521,452,680 521,519,612 133,068 Peas .184,161,888 36,832,376 147,329,512 Oats .147,446,764

1,019,585,008 382,919,002 Of the whole quantity received at the port during the year the rallways brought only twenty-seven and a half percent, while the canals brought seventy-two and a half percent.These figures seem to indicate that if Canada is to increase her grain transportation trade it must be by way of her canals.The large proportions of wheat, corn and rye that come to Montreal by way of the canals, contrasted with the small proportion of peas, oats, barley, flour and meal that arrive by them, is noticeable.About eighty-three percent of the wheat, ninety- nine percent of the corn, and sixty-three percent of the rye\u2019 are water-borne, while eighty percent of the peas, seventy- seven percent of the oats, seventy-three percent of the barley, ninety percent of the flour and ninety-nine percent of the meal were carried by the railways.The reason is that the bulk of the wheat, corn and rye come for the most part from greater distances than the other products.All corn, most of the wheat, and probably more than one-half of the rye, of which the exports were unusually large this year, come from the United States ; the other grain and grain stuffs come mostly from Canadian points and probably from points east of the great lakes.In this connection a very pertinent question arises, and that is this: If the canals carry for the most part American grain their construction or enlargement must benefit only the transportation, shipping and grain export trade of the Dominion, and in so far as they lessen the cost of the transportation of the produce of the American farmer they assist the Canadian farmers\u2019 competitors in the British grain markets.In view of this, should the canals be enlarged at the expense of the people of Canada, which means largely at the expense of the farmers, who are seemingly placed at a positive disadvantage by such a policy ?The canals keep down the rail rates in Canada as well as the United States, and the water-borne wheat and grain of Canada is increasing rapidly with the opening up and development of Manitoba and the North-West Territories.Already considerable Canadian grain is brought by water from Duluth and Port Arthur, and now that the value of hard wheat i£ becoming better appreciated in Europe and the demand for pure hard wheat is increasing, there will be a greater tendency for all this quality of wheat to come by way of the St.Lawrence route in order that the identity of the shipments of the grain may be preserved by obviating the necessity of breaking each lot up into small barge loads, which alone can pass through the Erie canal.At any rate, Canada is committed to a fourteen-foot channel, upon which mil- lions have been spent, and which will A arranged satisfactorily within

FOUND.Mrs.8.W.Avery, says the Brantford \u2018Expositor,\u2019 lives on Pleasant Ridge, about four miles out of the city of Branitford.Mr.and Mrs.Avery have always lived in that neighborhood, and he is the owner of two splendid farms.Having heard that Mrs.Avery had been cured of chronic dyspepsia and indigestion, by the use of Dr.Williams's Pink Pills, a reporter asked if she was willing to make public the facts concerning the cure.Mrs.Avery was perfectly willing to give her experience.For the past two years, she said, \u2018I had been troubled with a very sick headache, dizziness and a cough, which I believe were the symptoms of dyspepsia and indigestion, and I could find nothing to relieve me, although 1 tried several different.medicines.1 could not even find anything which would relleve my cough, | which at times would be very severe.I had read of Dr.Williams's Pink Pills, and was induced to try them.Before I had used two boxes I felt so much better and relieved from my distressing symptoms that I thought it best to continue taking them through the winter, and I used them with the result that 1 have been totally cured.I have not once since had the severe headaches which formerly made my life mizerable and my cough has entirely disappeared.I strongly recommend Pink Plils to anyone who suffers from dizziness, headaches, indigestion, etc., and I believe they will derive great benafit 1êrom their use.As a blood builder and nerve restorer no other remedy hac mer with such brilliant success as Dr.Williams's Pink Pills, and in cases lika that of Mrs.Avery they never fail to bring relief | and a cure.If your dealer dues not keep Pink Pills they will be sent hy mail on receipt of 50 cen:s a hox or six boxes for 82.50, by addressing the DA Williams Medicine

WALKED INTO DANGER, To the man who has done wrong the vicinity of the Police Court is sometimes dangerous.Last week a man whom the police had searched {for in vain, went to the Police Court to éée how his accomplice was getting along.He wars recognized, alrested, and committed to the Court of Queen\u2019s Bench for trial.This morning occurred another such case.Detective Flynn, of the Grand Trunk

snow-shovelling, although he had been for ten years bookkeeper in a good firm in the city.Now, he was stranded.Could his wife get a little help ?It was pitiful.burned.But all the cases were pitiful, for even if the misery was brought about by the drinking of the men, as was too manifest in some cases, the wives and Children deserved help.That was how Mr.McLeod put it.A decent looking young woman came vp to the table.She could not find courage to prefer her request, She trembled, and looked as if she might faint.Some remark was made about her being fairly well dressed.\u2018I think the need is all the keener in this case,\u2019 said Mr.McLeod.\u2018Real sorrow is gené- rally silent.It is not the people who are the most clamorous who need the most.\u2019 \u2019 \u2018I think we will add a

ELECTIONS.MR.VILLENEUVE IS AN \u2018ENGLISHMAN,\u2019 AND MR.M'SHANE IS A FRENCHMAN The canvass in the yarious wards goes on merrily.Ald.Villeneuve\u2019s supporters met at St.James market,\u201d last evening, ex-Ald.Lamarche presiding.Mr.Villeneuve was .received with cheers, and said that he expected the English to vote for him on principle.He expected, of course, that his fellow- countrymen would vote for one of their own race.Ald.Prefontaine gpoke in support of Ald.Villeneuve.Mr.McShane\u2019s friends met at the Hochelaga town hall.Mr.McShane delivered an address in his customary atyle.He was followed by Mr.O.Des- marais and Mr.C.Champagne, who considered Mr.Villeneuve more of an Englishman than a Frènchman, and Mr.McShane, French, because he has a French wife.- .The League decided to \u2018take no authoritative action with regard the other candidates for this seat.ds AGE: PESNTS-PRINOIÉ Läywrente Want voters, Mr.ÉX-G.Petiny\u2019 \u2018sald \u201cNow That the canvass is nearl compléted and the result s0 saitisfactory I may be permitted to repeat what I said on the occasion when I consented to oppose Ald.James.It wes said by some then, and has been repeated since, that I would have \u2018to\u2019 spend a lot of money to win the election.This was - ah astounding proposition, for I had freely stated that I would put up all the necessary money for all legitimate expenses, the fair, open and aboveboard campeign work, .and I-then and there refused kind offers of financial assistance.I could pay my own expenses unassisted, and was prepared to do so, but the claims put forth that the ward could not be carried without the expenditure of abnormally large sums was an insult to the Intelligence of the voters an insult to the candidate, and an insult to the zealous hard-working committee, who «are laboring night and day in the cause.It must have been thought the votes - were to be bought like sheep in the shambles.Looking over the voters\u2019 Hst I \u2018could see in every part of the \u2018ward a large, intelligent vote entitled to its views, without the thought of buying or attempting to stifle a single man\u2019s conscience by the offer of uv bribe.The canvass has proved.the correciness of this opinion, for I have not once, since the campadgn opened, had even a suggestion of the necessity of money for a vote in any pant of the ward.This must mean that the masses are not for sale.In my opinion a man who buys bis way into office will have something to sell when he gets in to make up for the outlay.That unfair means have boen resorted to to create prejudice I am aware, but it seems to have been without any tangible result, I have to, thank ail classes for their,magnanimity In bering fo 4ry an unts seems leave it 40 the dlectirs.at

them of different political views from myself, who have cole forward volun- sarily in\u2019 such large numbers to assist in the campaign.Yes, gentlemen, the joutiook is promising, although I am aware that tlie work will not be finished + Hil the clock strikes five on the first day of February.ST.JEAK BAPTISTE WARD.There was a little \u2018time\u2019 at a meeting in St.Jean Baptiste Ward last evening, where the Grothe.supporters tried to create a diversion against the Bayard men by raising the race cry.Mr.Grothe\u2019's friends charged Mr.Bayard with sellinig his Eastern Abattoir stock so as\u2018 to give control to an English syndicate.Mr.Bayard replied by reading letters to show that his opponents had scid out their interests before himself.HIS OFFICIAL

opposition to Mr.Far- réil.Those electors who are opposed to lobbying and boodiing will scardely find in Mr.Perrault a candidate to their liking.With most persons the famous printing scandal is still fresh in the memory.The way in which the City Hall committee.was worked to pass his tender, although much higher than that of Messrs.Lovell & Sons, and its sub- senuont endorsation by the Council, should be a warming to ail whose votes may be solicited for Mr.Perrault.A - short summary of that famous contract may not, however, be amiss at the present moment.When thie tenders for the printing contract were opened it was found that, | considering the acthal requirements of the city, the tendess stood in the following order: That is to say, Mr.Lovell offered to do the work for the city at a cost of $2,484 less than the Perrault Printine Company, or Mr.Perrault, who was practically the company.Those were the original calculations, but after the other tenders hag been opened end Mr.Perrault by his hold on the committee and officials became aware of the figures he certainly discovered that he could } pre trame Fae Sokie dT bon Satta \u2018Dalry\u2019 Cows.\u2019 je make certain deductions which would prove to his advantege and to.the disadvantage of his competitors.The committee made no objections and Mr.Per- rault was allowed to make the changes.The reductions took $1,882 off the Per- rault tender and $430 off Lovell\u2019's.But even with these siromgly disproportionate deductions Mr.Loveil\u2019s tender still remained the lowest and another piece of skilful arithmetic had to be brought into requisition.The specifications called for 6,000 lbs.of five kinds of paper of which only a small quantity.is used by the corporetion.Mr.Perrault knew this and tendered at one cent, three quarters of a cent, a half cent, a quarter cent sand five ceuts respectively, while John Lovell, not possessing this knowledge, tendered at the bona fide rates of 25, 20, 14, 12, and 8 cents respectively.Mr.Perrault knew that he must get \u2018this paper included.In this he succeeded and thus $1,680 was added to Lovell\u2019s contract and only $426 to his own.The tenders then stood: Perrault.Lovell.al amounts .7,215 $4,721 Mr.Perrault\u2019's deductions.1,882 430 .$5,333 $4,301 Mr.Perrault\u2019s additions.425 1,680 swe 85,80 Mr.Perrault was then $123 lower than ir.Lovell.This was.the pretty wag in = pe pm .Ë b od = ES \u2019 Ri Saal trait.Very little if any of this special.line of paper was ever used.It would be well for all electors to consider these facts and ask themselves whether they can expect good.clean, civic goveroment at the hands cf such representatives.The transaction was an infamous one and perhaps in no other city in the world would such a thing be tolerated.- \u2014_\u2014\u2014p\u2014 x DAIRYMEN\u2019S CONVENTION.THE SECOND DAY'S PROOEEDINGS\u2014THE NEW OFFICERS.Ingersoll, Ont., Jan.24.\u2014The second day's meeting of the Western Dairymen\u2019s Association was the most succets- fal of the kind in the history of ihe dairy industry.At the morning meeting, which opened soon after 3 a.m.an address was delivered by Mr.John Gould of Ohio, his theme being \u2018Practical Experience with the Silo.\" Professor Dean was then introduced and sprke on composite milk testing.Ai the ar- ternoon) session the first address was by Mr.Macpherson, of Lancaster, who gave the results of his experience in farming 120 acres.Professor Robertson, minion Dairy Commissioner, was then called upon and gave much practical and useful information.Senator Read, of Belleville, then \u2018gave a very brief speech.At the evening meeting the hall was crowded.Dr.Van Slijke, of Geneva, N.Y., discussed the question of \u2018paytog for milk according to butter fat.The Hon.Thos.Ballantyne gave a short speéch on the same.The.last speaker was Mr.John Gould, of Ohio.He dealt with the subject \u2018Stable Life of.During the day the report of

OBLIGED TO WITHDRAW -OWING TO ILL HEALTH \u2014 THE PRINCE UNWELL.London, Jan.24.\u2014The Prince of \u2018Wales, in declining for the Princess an invitation to visit Belvoir castle, the residence of the Duke of Rutland, at Gran- tham, Lincolnshire, stated that the Princess would hereafter take no part In social events.\u2018Truth\u2019 further says that the Prince 1s suffering from his old complaint and is unable to take much exercise.He will abandon riding.\u2014 CONVERTS.; The Montreal \u2018Minerve\u2019 (French) et- tacks Mr.Papineau and Father Chini- quy with extreme bitterness on account of their change of faith.Father Chiniquy, the most eloquent priest in all Canada, left the Church of Ronie about forty years ago, and he has ever since lived an honest and honorable Kfe.He has been a recognized minister.in good standing of the Presby- tegian Church, and he has been the 7 que le à OS athalies tie \u2018bettdr way,\u201d and xe- leasing them from -the terrors, the bondage and darkness of Roman Catholjeïsm He can well afford to smile at the ferocious attacks of his enemies.There is no minister to-day living \u201cthat has stood a greater share of abuse, violence and manifold persecution than Father Chiniquy, D.D.Of Mr, Papineau we have not heard anything but good.He had a perfect right in this free country to leave the Church of Rome.Why should he not?Of course the \u2018Minerve\u2019 has the right to criticize his conduct; but to abuse him and credit him with the lowest and vilest motives cannot do good to any one.The tone of the \u2018Minerve\u2019 indicates a temper soured by very useless sectarianism.Whatever journals will say there will be conversions and revers ons\u2014movements that may disappoint some of us and astonish us all.One of the invaluable boons secured by Father Chiniquy is a larger freedom for all.Priests and people In Quebec know that they can become Protestants without forfeiting their civil rights, and without incurring the anger of God.For thirty-six years gnod old Father Chiniquy has had the benefit of all the evil that could be Said against him; yet he stands to-day honoréd and revered as few of his countrymen, are,\u2014and renowned to the end of the world as a bold champion of spiritual rights and liberties.It is best not to malign him any more: and it would be well too to let Mr.Papineau alone.\u2014'Presbyterian \u2018Witness.\u2019 end that he be given the Toh-.\"United States which, in.his MUnétéd States an ia THE BELT LINE BY-LAW.LONG-SUFFERING PROPRIETORS PROTEST AGAINST FURTHER ENCROACHMENTS.THE ROAD COMMITTEE TRANSAOT MUOH BUSINESS.The Road Committee met the proprietors along the route of the proposed belt line elevated railway yesterday afternoon.A goodly number were present but the meeting ended in a fizzle.Mr.F.X.Craig produced a \u2018copy of the \u2018Presse\u2019, in which he pointed out that the advertisement called on proprietors to appear on February 2, instead of January 24.It might be a printer's error, but there it was and he must request the committee to postpone: the question until that date.Ald.Brunet declared a postponement the only thing possible.\u2018Let them report to council for permission to read- vertise.; .Mr.Craig said some of the proprietors were -already ruined by expropriation schemes.This railway scheme seemed to be a project to ruin the rest.Mr.W.D.Lighthall suggested that the 24th being Saturdey, Feb.21 be chosen.This was agréed to.He also contended | that the city could nig.allow: anything J; hot the n s pub- |-

case, sai@® there was no.intention \u2018on.the part of the Road Committee to, do.am Injustice to the proprietors, much less to confiscate their property.The proprietors on Notre Dame street east

\\ THE PRESS DELIGHTED.IT BELIEVES NOTHING BUT GOOD WILL COME OF THE RECONCILIATION BETWEEN PRINCE BISMARCK AND THE EMPEROR.Berlin, Jan .24.\u2014There is no doubt that the long talked of and anxiously expected reconciliation between His Majesty and Prince Bismarck is an accomplished fact, and that before many days the face of the old ex-Chancellor will again be seen in Unter den Linden.Emperor Wiliam has given orders that rooms on the ground floor of the palace be prepared Yor the Prince's occupancy.The telegraph line between Berlin and Friedrichsruhe is busily employed in the transmission of despatthes arranging the time of the Prince's arrival in Ber- in.The first autograph letter sent to the Prince by the hands of Count Von Moltke said that His Majesty would painfully miss, on the occasion of the twenty-fifth anniversary of his entewing the army, .the presence of that man who, under Emperor William I., primarily co-operated to sharpen the sword of Prussia.The news that the Prince is surely coming to Berlin has caused great excitement among the residents of the -city.There is mo doubt that he will receive a wildly enthusiastic welcome.The \u2018Germania,\u2019 the organ of the South German Liberals, says that the reconciliation between the Emperor and the Prince, under the conditions now Hovailing, 18 even of higher importance he \u201cFaubidt\u2019 \u2018says it would \u2018be going beyond the mark -to draw political consequences from the recomciliation.~The \u2018Couriér\u2019 says that the report of the Emperor's sending a message of enquiry as to the Prince\u2019s health to Fried- rivharuhe caused surprise.- The fact that such @ message was sent will.give the impression that a simple act of courtesy hes an eminently political meaning and means a reversal of the Government's brfäsent policy.Such a misconstruction, ik adds, would be regretted.The \u2018Kfleine Journal\u2019 says it is impossible that Prince Bismarck is to be placed back in an official position.His will\u2019 power is unbroken and the fresh conflicts that would follow his re-estab- lishment in power would be incurable.The \u2018Lokal Anzeiger says: The removal of the tension between Prince Bismarck and the Emperor must be safutary.This tension has deepened polftical antagonism and damaged Germany\u2019s authority abroad.The \u2018National Zeitung\u2019 says that even should the reconciliation between the Emperor and Prince Bismarck not pro- -duce any immediate effect on politics, it .must be inferred that it w#1 not react \u2018indirectly towards the solution of the oriticail questions fiow agitating the pub- te mind of Germany.At any rate, much tof the present exasperation and dissatisfaction prevailing among all classes will disappear through the generous initiative that has béen taizen by the Emperor.\u2014\u2014e ; THE FIRE RECORD.BROUKTON, MASS., REUBIVES A SCORORING.+Brockton, \u2018Mass,

IMITATE.\u2014 (To the Editor of the \u201cWitness\u2019) Sir,\u2014Your correspondent, Mr.Weir, writing on \u2018Municipal Reform,\u201d refers to the city of Bristol (BE).As this city is about the same size as Montreal, and is one of the best governed in Europe, your readers may like to Know something mage about its municipal council.I write subject to correction, not having been \u2018there for some years, but having known the personnel of the council and\u2018 its methods for: forty years, my statements may be accepted as substantially accurate.Since the Municipal Reform act of 1835 the city has been divided into ten wards, which elect 48 councillors.These in turn elect 16 aldermen and a mayor.At first sight this system may seem somewhat anti-democratic, but it has worked well for the city.The majority has always been Conservative, but the council has worked harmoniously, and has more than once elected a Liberal mayor.Its proceedings have always been dignified and its debates would not discredit any larger legislative body.At least four of its mayors have been knighted by the Queen for thelr eminent services to the city.Leading citizens consider it a great honor to be elected to the council, and serve with great credit, and although it is somewhat aristocratic, the workingmen have long had faithful representatives in it, and a special one in the person of the manager of \u2018the \u2018Great Western Steamship Co.\u2019, Mark Whittiwell, who has effected more for them than any workingman could have done.If I were asked to name the Montrealers who would fitly compare with the Bristol council, I should have to mention such names as Sir-D.A.Smith, the Allans, Hugh McLennan, Gault, Hague, Thomas, Desjardins, Rolland, Stevenson, Drum- mond, Reford, Greenshields, &c., &c.The result is that the city bonds stand almost as high as consols, and it can borrow all it wants at 3 1-2 percent.Bristol 48 a very ancient city, and until recently, full of narrow, crooked streets, Witk.many.ancieut houses and imsamni- tary courts 0 and alleys, and was formerly anything but a heglthy city.But by scientific\u201d gamitary measures, and the zeal «of am \u201cexcellent\u201d health officer, Dr.Davis, the death-rate\u2019 has been so reduced \u2018that.it often stands as low as 15 in:1,000.The beautiful \u2018Durdham downs\u2019 or Clifton heights, have been purchased dare encroach upon them by a single foot.Public baths and wash houses have been established.Pure water is brought from springs in the Mendip hills by a private company, the ordinary charge for which to householders is about five percent on his rental.Gas is also supplied by a private company at 84c per 1,000 feat, of was fafmerly, but it is probably cheaper now.The fire brigades are supported by the in- =r futence companies, and what will surprise Montrealers more than anything else, the Insurance rate on first-class risks Is orly 1s 6d per £109 or about 7 1-2¢ per $100.The police is an admirable force, the \u2018angels of the streets,\u2019 and not a pole is tu be seen.Minor offences \"are tried by unpaid magistrates appointed by the Lord Chancellor and the Mayor, and sitting daily.The Recorder tries more important cases oace a quarter, and the Superior Judges come on air- cuit three times a year.The taxes are somewhat heavy owing to the fact that, unlike Montreal, the city is compelled to provide for all its poor, but as you krow, Montrealers do it also, but in a different way.The \u2018borough rate\u2019 is fixed once a year.Then there ig the \u2018health rate,\u201d and the \u2018schiocol-board rate,\u2019 (education being now compulsory), and I rather think a small rate for a public Wbrary, but that, however, is voluntary.The expenditure of the city is managed with the utmost care under a flnance committee and an able treasurer.Many of\u2019 the narrow streets with their old rookeries have been demolished, and replaced by wide, handsome atreets, but the methods employed have been very different from the costly ones employed \u2018by: Montreal.Inatead of compensating the proprietors the Council has obtained special acts of Parliament giving It compulsory powers, and has purchased the properties outright, the prices, when necessary, being fixed by valvators, and after demolishing the houses, has re- 20M, or leased the ground at prices which have left the city a small loss as compared with those paid in Montreal.No \u2018boodling\u2019 has ever been charged, or even suspected, for no boodlers have a chance of being elected.\"At one time the harbor unfortunately belonged to a private company, which exacted very heavy dock dues, but in 1848 the City Council purchased back the obd harbor, and in order to reduce the charges on shipping and goods voluntarily imposed a tax upon the citizens of four pence in the pound, since which its trade has made rapid strides, and to accommodate large steamships two docks were built at Avonmouth, nine miles below the city, and these the Council has also purchased.The principal streets are swept clean every night.Such is municipal rule in Bristol, and it is a success be- { cause its leading citizens consider it a duty to serve the city and never shirk it as so many Montrealers do._ Nor does Bristol stand alone, for I believe her council 18 but a fair sample of those of the chief cities and -towns in Britain.If a few of your counciliors would visit Birmingham or Manchester, for example, they would learn many valuable lessons in municipal reforms: lwas 85, and a
