In "that «mse the city would be liable for any damages that might oceur, whereas now they were pot responsible. It was a matter forthe judgment of the board of works and the council. The chairman pointed out that as soon as s drain was laid in the pub ic street it became the property of the city. After a little discussion it was mov- od by Ald.

The opening up of Patrigk street, for which a number of residents peti- tioned, was taken up. As instructed, the city engineer wrote to Mrs. Mary McDonnell, Chicago, asking for what sum she would sell a lot required in ning up that street. She replied that she would take gu fair price, sug gesting $8500, However, she stated that shé¢ would give it up at what the sounvil might consider a fair price. The lot in question is 30x128 feet. The matter was left to the city engineer and Ald. Harkness to report as to the value of the land. Prof. Macgilliviay and others peti- tioned for the grading of Albert street, south of Union street, which the peti: tiotiers claimed was unfit for travel, The chairman suggested, that as the board did not have sufficient money to thoroughly ao the work required, the engineer and the chairman of the ward might make the street passable by the spending of a few hundred dol lars, It was the opinion of the alder men that the work should be done at once. The matter was left to the en ginver, the chairman of the board and the chairman of the ward. The petition of David Vick and others, to have the boardwalk on Barrie street, north of Raglan Road, moved outside the boulevard, was read. Moved by Ald.

Dunlop. 2 R. D. Anglin and others requested that strect watering on Union street he discontinued, Al. Craig moved no aotion, This was strenuously oppos- ed by Ald. Dunlop, who fought it "to the last ditch." He moved in amend- ment that the petition be sent back for the signatures of all the residents in that block (between university avenue and Alfred street). The amend: ment was lost, and the motion car ried. Mr. Mavnd and others petitioned that street watering be discontinued on-lower Bagot street.--Granted, on motion of Ald. Harkness. R: Walaron and others asked that street watering on Stuart street be stopped. . This would cut out street watering in front of the general hos: pital, and the board expressed sur prise at such a petition. Ald. Harkness--This is one street that should be watered before all | others. a Al. Danlop moved that the matter be left in abeyance a that the sa: perintendent of the be asked what effect the absence of street wa- tering would have on that institution. This was severely criticised afterwards striek oul. Ald. Craig moved that the petition be granted, which motion was earried. Mrs. Metcalfe and others petitioned that street watering be, discontinued on Princess street, between Victoria street and the water tower. Granted, on motion of Ald. Harkness.

The cause of the twighed faces and general uproar was "Al On Account of Eliza," a rueal comedy, which takes rank gs the bess of its class that has appedred here, It is most entertaining, and produced iy nu clever company, at the head of which are Mr. Mann and Miss Clara Lipman, The former showed his great talent as a dialect comedian, por traying a simple, yet éhirewd old Ger- man, the chairman of the school trus- tees of a village in New York state. To this school, Eliza Carter, person- ated by Miss Lipman, comes as teach- er, amd then the trouble begins. Throug'. three acts of unflagging fun everything that pens is "All on Account of Eliza," and while is the most innocent creature in the world, yet several misunderstood got ions cause her no end of trouble with the meddiesome village dames.

The day is drawing nigh, liberals buckle in. Let those who saved New Ontario develop it. * The literals of Kingston are solid for Ross and Pense. Wise electors will not vote to stop the development of the province, The government may be old, but it is a good deal younger than the oppo- sition. 3 Let the tories do the boasting now; our turn to shout will come on the evening of the 29th. | Is the policy of he Ross adminis tration, which is one of progress, wor- thy the support of the people ? Nr. Whitney will speak in Massey hall on Monday, May 26th; and pre- moier Ross on the following evening. Can the oldest inhabitant ever re eollect 'more prosperous times in Can- ada ? Surely, then, it is not time for a change. During all the years of liberal rule the opposition have never been able to point to one dollar of the public money corruptly spent ! The young men of Kingston will vote for Mr. Pense. The young man hood of Ontario will vote for Mr. Ross; he has labored for them. The Kingston Times (Ind.) reviews the cost of public school books. and vonclutles : "The cost is not such as to cause any reasonable person to grumble.' The qualification for voting ir the city is residence of one year in the provinee, three months in the city and thirty days in the constituency prior to May 12th. Mr. Pense is in public life to-day because his party asked his services and because he feels that it may be in his power to accord these services cre- ditably and well. Mr. Whitney's meetings next weok will be as follows: Uxbridge, May 12¢h; Burlington, May 13th; Galt, May; 14th; Owen Sound, May 15th; Tara, May 16th, afternoon; Walker- ton, May 16th. The electorate of Kingston, without distinction of party, can trust Mr Pegse as their representative. He is characterized no Jess by high'minded attributes than by independence of thought and vigor of action. In Brockville the cause of the cow servative party is being injured every day by the billingsgate and wreckless disregard for truth and decency which charatterige the columns of the paper that pretends to be. supporting it. There are others! The Ross government is on threshold of its energetic ana like policy of opening up New On tario. Much bas been done, much re- mains to do. let the men continue? who have commenced so well. This is no time for a change. London News, Ind. : If Mr. Whitney has a very decided policy in the pres- ont campaign 'he has sacceeded re markahly well in keeping it to him: self. In Mr. Whitney's speeches so far ke has not done much more than ac cuse the liberals of being in power thirty years, of corruption, extrava gance, wtc; A speaker pointed out that in thir ty long wears of its administration it bad yet to be said that the Ontario government had done anything to tg nish the honor. of the citizens of the province. The government had spent over 8130,000.000, and it had vet to be shown that one dollar had been misappropriated. Mr. Whitney bas no poliey on edu- cation. He says in a hazy way that he will improve our school system, but does wot tell how. The only defi: nite thing be proposes is a consulta tive council, and we have that now. When the critics of our school system venture to propose improvements, they strike sotnething that is in ex: istence now and their own are forestalled, propaaly News says in addition to Mr, Pense's other offices he held ghat of president of the reform association.

The late operation helped to clear the choked and conjested avenues of the kidney and to again, in some mea: sure, perfonn its functions; if this can Be maintained there is hope of the prolongation of his life.
