Moore, by bis_ election to the directorate of the Moral and Temperance department jo the Methodist * church. He, there- fore, follows in the footsteps of his predecessor and gives to his denom- ination the ability and skill which he has developed as an officer of the Al Iiance.

Later the church wanted some one to direct the great social or re demptive schemes "in which it was en- gaged, and he was the man chosen for the work. He accepted it, and Mr. Moore, his assistant, became his successor. The Methodist church made Dr, Chown the associate of Rev. Dr Carman in the superintendency, and Mr. Moore was called from the Allis ance to the work of the church These men weve loaned, as it were, the Alliance, and arg now called back to meet the greater demands of the church in a service for which they are specially qualified. The Alliance is mot the greater loser, because the churches, all of them, = are giving to, sociology, the study and attention that are their due. The Alliance will get a new secretary, and it can always depend ! upon the substantial service which Drs. Shearer and Moore will be able to to perform as there is occasion for it. | In the fight against race track gamb- Shearer made a record for ling Dr. one that will pot be for himself, -- , Gotien, BiBY's cag sTAND: Phone 201 THE COUNCIL IN TROUBLE. i It may be & surprise to the council "10 learn that an agreement, which was entered into freely and - without expectation of any complications, is ¢ construed to mean that the old Col legiate Institute property becomes the | perminent possession of the School .of Mines. It can be safely said that no mem- bers of the council, at the time this agreement passed, anticipated that such would be the outcome of the deal. ¥ they had, an agreement with regard © the use of this building, for .acade- mic purposes, not have been made. On the contrary the property , Would have been deeded to the School of Mines and under circumstances which would . never have been ques- tioned. would DAY OR NIGHT The city solicitor having offered his iT abitn & £4 Go Sn.20 opinion in support of the position of the School of Mines, that the property cannot be recovered for public school purposes, it will now be for the coun- cil to consider how it can best serve "the esuse of education. The board of health, in its wisdom, ForSale Cheap: has commanded that sanitary ap- pliances be put in all of the schools. In two of them the expenditure would be a waste of money.

One thing mote Mr, Campbell stat- ed, and "the pity is that it has not made a 'deeper impression. It was (that the government had decided to aid the municipalities in the making of good roads, and already a very large sum bas been expended. Our county coun. cillors are very fond of an occasional jaunt. A deputation of them should see the roads built under government auspices in. Prince Edward county. They are 'the very best. Upon them the county has already spent £50,000, and the Whig has 'been informed that an appropriation of $50,000 additional has been contemplated. Good roads come high, but they were cheapest in the end. The Romans were unsparing in the material and wealth which they put into the roads that led to Rome, but the work was enduring. Some of the old roads remain to tell the story of the excellence at which the road- makers aimed when they went to work. ---------------------- WATCHING THE SCHOLARS. The management committee will be open to eriticism if it des not, with- out longer delay, make a report upon the question of medical attendance on the schools. The proposition is not to appoint a medical man; or medical men, to visit, treat, and report upom the scholars. That may cost too much. But it is possible to have on the school staf a competent nurse, whose duty it will be to visit the class rooms regularly, take observations and act when it is necessary. She can detect defects or ailments, as well as any doctor, and it will only be ne- cessary to have medical attendance called. in occasionally. The teeth and the eyes of the children should be es pecially watched, for from neglect with regard to these it is understood many of the scholars suffer. Li Montreal ev- ery pupil must be Vaccinated before he can be sent to school. Brantford eity may be quarantined unless vaccination can be generally enforced. Anything rather than the epidemics from which some places suffer. EDITORIAL NOTES. After the baby show at the labour picnic, the enquiry will be general, "Has anybody heve seen Kelly ?"' While the Japanese government was arranging the terms of annexation with regard to Corea, the national press was hushed into silence. Here is an evidence of the high discipline that prevails in Japan. -- The man who shot and attempted to take his life, is now issuing bulletins 'respecting his own sanity.

Even in that re- spect is Lhe appointment defensible ? Where did Mr, Downey display his great managerial capacity ?

The protests from pulpits of various churches against the increasing reduc- tion of feminine warm weather attire are timely, the Lampman says. When young women go about the sireets in ballroom garb, he doesn't wonder that the clerty become di ted. He learns that the good of Brockville have been shocked during the past fort- night ove the action of some of the town belles who have been doing some- thing real sensational. These young women, in company with several gen- tlemen friends, ' have been displaying themselves on the shore in male bath- ing garments. The Lampman hopes that the innovation will not be intro- duced in Kingston. * % @ A few days ago, a youth came to the penitentiary to serve a sentence for stealing an insignificant sum of money, and the Lampman learns that officials at the prison were surprised when they saw ome so youthful placed in a cell. The penitentiary is no place for a youth, and when this one goes forth from its walls to liberty, he is apt to be worse than better, The Lampman is surprised at the lack of trust exhibited by so many judges in persons who have broken the law, and he has of this matter before. The average judge and prosecuting at- torney seem to consider their duty done when they find an unfortunate manor & youth guilty, and send him to prison. The letter of the law must be carried out. The chance to redeem oneself is denied. Happily there are judges who have more faith in man- kind, and because of this class of judges, the prisoners are Kept from be- ing overcrowded. When a prisoner, af- ter serving ome or two years in prison is freed on parole, why could he not be given his parole after his trial, instead of being sentenced to confinement ? The Lampman would like to know. * & y The Lampman disagrees with the town solicitor, who has intimated that the town council would be bonusing the street car company if .it laid new rails on Princess street. Where would the bonus be, he asks ? The street ear company doesn't want new rails, claiming that the present ones suit its purpose, and that if Princess street is paved, it will be more expensive to it over a period of \ ten years. Wherein does the bonus lie? the Lampman would like to know. It usually takes two parties to carry out a bonus ar- rangement, and in the case of the town and the company, the latter is not asking for new rails, * + 2 The other day the Lampman receiv- ed from an esteemed clerical acquaint- ance a very flattering note of commen- dation, which expressed appreciation of his "fairness, good sense and apt- handling of topics of local interest.' The Lampman's fecent comment on the matter of sacred and secular, and his rebuke to the narrow-minded in re- gard to Sabbath observance, were en: dorsed.
