The Whig has discussed a scheme which is said to have obtained favour in certain American cities, namely, of municipal "heating. It has been pointed out that a city which owns its public utilities should not al- low its exhaust steam to go to waste. It was suggested that Kingston, from its water and electric light works, could heat ite public buildings, and perhaps some local industries, profit- ably. Mr. Campbell, formeriy mana- ger of the power plant, gave the sub- ject his consideration, and reported against the proposal. St. Thomas was not so concurative a% Kingston, and experimented.

With a population of seven millions it should not play the part of a dependency amy longer. "It is part of our manhood," said he, "that we should relieve the British taxpayer of defending us. We can do it ourselves. Yet we show the world a spectacle that has not been pre- sented before. The history of Canada i to-day is not like the history of any | other nation. All colonies after a, -- certain time have severed their gon- nection with the parent state. The United States pevered their connec tion in the eighteenth cemtury, and the Greek colonies in the antient world separated from the mother country. But we claim that we have founded our independence in: the maint of our allegiance, We are going to build a British empire on the rock of local autonomy, and that local autonomy is connected with imperial unity.

It may be that the inven: tor i= not a good busivess man. Few persons of this type are successful in the administration of great industries, and the experience of 1907 may have suggested the change in management which followed in Westinghouses case. However this may be it is evident that the Westinghouse reign is over. He has encouraged inventions--has put a premimn on ideas and encouraged his men to develop in power and use fulness--and all who appreciate his worth will hope for his continued suc- cess. The Westinghouse company will pro- fit by Westinghouse's inventions. His forte is not financing, apparently, but the financier, in his business, would amount to little without the products which have made his name so famous. COULDN'T STAND THE STRAIN, The fall of Edwin Wider, a bank cashier, of New York, is one of the notable events of the last week. Wi- der was the chief officer of the Russo- Chinese bank, and had charge of all ite securities. It was a very responsi ble position, but it did not carry a very large salary with it--only $26 per week. He had what he supposed to be ingide tips with regard to certain stocks, and borrowed, or appropriat- ed, from the bank and speculated. The Patten cotton deal attracted special attention, and into' it Wider put many thousands of the bank's funds. The crisis was inevitable. As it approach- ed he meditated upon his ruin ® and calmly wrote to the bank : "Gentlemen,--I might as well tell you that in a few days 3,200 shares of Pennsylvania Railroad stock are to be shipped to the National bank of Germany, in Berlin. You will not find them. I took them, and you will find a large number of other shares miss- ing, as 1 also took them. Whatever you find missing I took. My wife does not know about any- thing wrong, but I am going to tell her to-day. *"l am sorry that 1 cannot return the money, but it was that cotton pool. that broke my meck. It is all your --oWh fault, soyway, for létting one man "have charge of everything from A to Z. So you have mo one to blame but yourselves." Investigation disclosed the fact that he had abstracted from the bank's trensury securities worth between £500, 000 and $600,000, and all went to the winners in the cotton pool. Patten contributed about $2,000,000 out of his store. The half a million which Wider put up was not his own, but it went as his offering to the craze of the hour. Wider might have pleaded that he was inadequately paid. He held a re- sponsible office, and the salary was not in keeping with the position. His plea, however, is that the seouritics should not have been left in his sole keeping. The temptation was more than he could stand. EDITORIAL NOTES. The governor-general has set out for an extended tour of Northern Ameri lca with English reporters--while Can- adians follow at their own expense. The unity of the British empire, a favorite theme, does not warrant dis criminations of this kind, Sir Wilfrid Launet's plea for the unification of all races in Canada, under ome flag, and subjects of monarch, will find an echo in heart.

The customs reve- nue of the inion for July total led $5,724,714, an mcrease of $811,557 over July of last year. Although the increase 1s sixteen per cent., it is con- siderably less than the increases regis- tered for the prepeding months of the present fiscal year. falling off is attributed to the effects of the Grand Trunk strike, which has prevented the delivery of freight in bond now en route to many points in Ontario "snd For four months of the fiscal the total customs revenue has $22,611,510, an' increase of $4,- 608,606, or over twenty per cent., as compared with the corresponding per- ied of last year. CLOCK RING FATAL. Swedish Woman Has Heart Failure From Shock. Rockiord, Ml, Aug. 2.-Mrs. Marie Engdabl, who came to' Rockiord from Sweden four weeks ago, was awakeh- ed by an alarm clock wm the morn- ing, and when she jamped-up to-shut the alarm the shock affected her heart and she fell back dead.

THE DEADLY CAT. M. A. P. London. Last year Cardinal Merry Del Val was the hero of a very amusing in- cidelit arising out of an action in the Italian courts concerning a bequest of two million lire to the Holy See. The papal authorjties were not repre- sented at the proceedings, and the judgment could not be carried into effect until formal notice had been served either upon the papal secretary or on the pontiff himself. For two months a court official made repeatéd, but unsuccessful, at tempts to catch the cardinal. One day it came to the official's knowl that his quarry had gone 'to the lal Bracciano. Hurrying thither, he dame face to face with the cardinal while bathing, whereupon he flourished his all important paper. But his eminence, who is an excel lent and powerful swimmer, made off for the shore and amed his cabin. When he the official was no- whore to be seen, and the cardinal immediately drove off to a restaur- ant, where he lunched in =» _ private Puss an Industrious Spreader of Dis. ease, Washington, Aug. 2.-Bitter war on the house cat has been declared by the department of agriculture. Faxperts in the biological bureau of that depart. ment are making exhaustive investiga- tions of the cat as a spreader of die- ease. Alrgady they have found out en: ough to vonvince them that as much danger lurks in a cat as in a rat, and rats are known to be fatal distributors of plague. Upon the completion of these investi- gations efforts will be made by the federal authorities to have cat license laws passed. If is much more desir: able, they say, to have a license for cats than a license for dogs. HIS WIFE HIS CREDITOR. Judge Orders Husband to Pay Hack Gifts, 9 2. That a wile who lends money to her husband is his creditor was decided here by United States Judge Hollister in the cdse of William 6. Stockholm, a bankrupt Piqua grocer, Creditors petitioped Hollister to set aside the decision of the referee, who declared Mrs. Stock- j holm was entitled fo £3,000, which she had given her husband during fi teen years of their married life.

Island Park, N.Y., Aug 2.-The several petty robberies that have been committed here recently have been investigated thoroughly by Officer Sponnable, and one arrest made. The. robbery of the Walrath cottage, which was entered Thursday and a purse containing 70 taken, caused the arrest. of a nine-year-old boy, who confessed when confronted by Chie' Sponnable, and took the of ficer to the place where he had hid the money after taking it from the purse.
