This should not be the Case for there is Noth ing to exceptional in our local Circum stances us to Mako municipal existence an impossibility. It is All a matter of management. To Bay nothing of the corruption downright stealing that have Long prevailed in connection with the civic business our methods Aro entirely too extravagant. We have Over estimated our population our wealth our Capa City our everything except possibly our indiscretion our Rasca Lity. We Are running the entire concern upon a fear fully exaggerated plan. We have too Many officers servants in some cases at any rate too Large salaries. This particular juncture it should be profitable to make a few comparisons Between Winnipeg some other cities. Winnipeg s population is newer than London s is about Hamilton s nearly yet Winnipeg s assessment is Over while London s Hamilton s Are Only in round numbers respectively Toronto with six times Winnipeg s population has an assessment of less than two a half times ours being Only Winnipeg s inflated assessment is of her fundamental blunders. We have falsely estimated our strength taken on a corresponding unbearable Bur Den of taxation.

Hesitating As to whether or not he should countenance the liquor traffic by consent ing to regulate it if it be evident that in that Way its Baleful influence Cun most effectively be minimized to have no patience with Tho fanatic who keeps shouting Thero must a no Compromise with in the first place drinking in itself is not a sin. If or. Gla Storro considered it so would he put the wine cup to his lips knowing As he does so Noil the havoc which excessive indulgence wrought nothing that is known of the character of that Groat Good statesman justifies such a conclusion. But the actions teachings of a greater than England s Premier boar out our assertion. In the second place however if drinking wore n sin the sensible moral reformer would not Hesi Tate for Ono moment As to whether he would be justified in circumscribing it where he admittedly cannot annihilate. It is certainly wrong to do evil that Good May come of it that is it is wrong to do evil in the Hope that Good May come of it for Good never does come of evil but to fail to comprehend How any one can contend it is wrong to do Good that Good May come of it. To Lessen drunkenness is to do Good. To carefully regulator control the liquor traffic is to Lessen drunkenness. There fore to carefully regulator control Tho liquor traffic is to do Good. If on the other hand to refuse to recognize that is to refuse to regulate control the liquor traffic is to increase drunkenness its attendant evils what must be thought of the Wisdom philanthropy of so refusing Temperance Reform cannot be effected in a Day. The movement is Only yet in its infancy although it has already accomplished wonders. Why not to con tent to proceed a Little further along Tho paths that experience has shown to Lead so directly to the object aimed at Why attempt Short Cut of More than doubtful practicability at the present time than or. Gladstone there a no greater bettor or More influential states Man living none apparently More keenly aware of or Moro deeply impressed with the evils of intemperance yet we do not find him heading or advising a movement looking to the re Moval of All that is practically the effect of the so called prohibit the traffic which to deplores. Whenever it can to shown with Rea lovable certainty that prohibition does or can be made to prohibit to shall advocate its adoption. Until then to must continue to prefer regulation which does regulate. Claims himself to have been Idle or dissipated if sincerely desirous of re pouting amending his ways should to Content to Bear any temporary humiliation to which his appearance May subject him for ton to one if he perseveres for. A few weeks succeeds in getting him self a respectable coat he will then look Down on those who May have no better clothes than he formerly had with in finitely More contempt than the wicked Rich Man throws into the look he bestows on the virtuous poor. This is All wrong of course but we can not help that. There Aro undoubtedly some faults in fashionable no Ono Ever heard of any in unfashionable ones. Thoro Are great faults in Church one lius Yot been Able to Dis Oover any in those who stay at Home. In Short there Are few things entirely perfect in this world. But on the whole to Ore not altogether sure that those who hav ing paid for their pews occupy them Are not doing about As much to hasten the millennium As those who Atay away grumble at them.

Tho times in Ita apparent Zeal to bring about what it affects to deprecate relates very circumstantially hew the grits 1 have been holding secret meetings to Lelot a party ticket for the approach ing civic actually gives Complete ticket except one Ward it claims has been so selected All of which is an invention pure simple. The grits " have held no meet ing for any Inch purpose nor has such a line of action Ever been suggested by any of the party. We think Tho like All other Good deprecate anything approaching the introduction of party politics into our civic affairs especially at such a critical time incur municipal history As the present. It is really too bad for the times to Dot such a gratuitous dangerous course when our circumstances Aro As they Are. What is required is for All Good citizens to unite work shoulder to shoulder for the election of a Council for next year that can to confidently expected to subordinate every other consideration to the promotion of the City s Best interests. Spurn Letlon Over the Ohio elections id the Talent h from our regular correspondent. Washington oct. The result of to Morrow s election in Ohio is the one topic in the minds Mouths of politicians Here at the capital. It is discussed aloud upon the Corners of Pennsylvania Avenue in the hotel lobbies even Beta Are freely made. I find by careful enquiry in political circles that the opinion is general to the effect that the situation in Ohio has not changed materially during the past week. Both sides Are putting in their last beat work closing up their ranks preparatory to the Battle of tuesday. If Tho Day be line we will get out nearly All our maximum said a re publican official who has just returned from a month s hard work at his Home in. Central Ohio but if St Rains to will fall Gen. Logan said tuesday even ing that if Tho a publicans did not carry Ohio by a larger vote than thay had Ever polled the Large crowd enthusiastic demonstrations counted for nothing As indications of popular feeling. Never in Niy life even in the most hotly contested How flows in Illinois have i seen such crowds of continued the candidate for vice presidency. Telegraph an hour ahead to a town of five thousand people of a political meeting ten thousand would be there to hear. We had Fine weather everything was in our favor. Parties turned out Thair full strength. The meetings were wonderfully orderly. I never assisted in a canvass that waa More satisfactory to me As a the canvass in Tho South has not attracted much attention because it was supposed to be All one Way.

B. Gladstone. No Man can have had Ividor opportunities for observation than the British Premier the charge cannot to brought against him that his judgment has been warped by a total abstinence training. His words on this subject therefore should carry great weight with All thinking men who fro not entirely indifferent to the suffer Ings of their fellow creatures. An evil of such vast magnitude can Only be resisted by Iho United Force of Ull who deplore its exist Junro acting in Tho most effective direction. The question to to determined is which is Tho most effective direction in it in striving for prohibition which in the present state of Public sentiment cannot does Nowc prohibit or in seeking to so regulator Tho liquor Trusic that its evils May to lessened common senso common humanity would seem to recommend Tho latter. When the genuine Christian sees an of or an ass fallen into a pit to does not to enquire whether or hot it is the Sabbath but Straightway sets about extricating the unfortunate animal in the most expeditious manner possible. The object of Tho True philanthropist being to Rescue perishing humanity from the pit of drunkenness Why should he stand food a Cit in ciivhvj1. A Globo reporter has been masquerading among the Toronto churches in the alleged Guise of a poor working Man. In one or two of the places of worship visited by him he was not treated As ceremoniously As though All the Lay property in Tho Parish belonged to him. In most of them however according to his own report he was received civil some times cordially. The latter fact of course counts for nothing now an Universal howl is ascending from the press against fashionable Etc. The subject no doubt is a tempting one. So much has already been said written on it the expenditure of any considerable amount of mental Energy in dealing with it is now entirely unnecessary. The prudent writer has an Ade quate amount of appropriate gush bottled at hand for immedi ate use. We All know for we have been told it hundreds hundreds of it is a terribly wicked thing for a Man to liberally spend his hard earned helping to build a Church in purchasing upholstering a comfortable Pew for himself family if he afterwards manifests the least reluctance to share it with each every dirty tramp who May be too High spirited to occupy a seat on the free benches. It Doos not Mako any Dif Ference in his criminality that to might by taking the Good poor but not Over clean stranger into his Pew have to go elsewhere himself apart from his family. Clean Well dressed Pew owners Are Al ways great sinners. Virtue invariably finds a congenial Home with those who Are Nono of these. This has been decided Long ago to do think the Pew owners should now be loft alone allowed to extract what Comfort they can out of this life since we know ought to pity them for what is in store for them in the next. And besides it seem to a that they have some rights which the Good poor Man his backers Are bound to respect. Tho Globe reporter did not Fin any place of worship in All his rounds where he could not did not find a seat have an Opportunity of hearing participating in the now if it had not Boon for the wicked Rich Man there would not have been in All probability any such free accommodation for the Good poor reporter nor would Zeal Ous pastor be maintained in Toronto an j elsewhere who Aro just As willing in ninety nine cases out of a Hundred to visit help the poor As the Rich. No poor Man need stay away through Foar of being a civilly treated in any Canadian Church to verily believe the Globe reporter to the contrary notwithstanding. Of course if to chooses to present himself in Tho House of god in his working clothes a the Globo Man did he should not expect should not desire a prominent seat. But in this Young country of ours no steady sober Man need be reduced to Tho necessity of going to Church to dressed. Any Man who Doeu pro Are quietly making a very thorough can Vass in North Carolina. Gen. Hawley of Connecticut who came up from thera very lately believes his party will gob three of the nine congressmen. I cannot my upon what to bases his prediction but so close an of Barver should have reasons sufficiently for the Faith that is in him. From Louisiana the report Cornea that Tho Douce All is to pay. Karly in the summer the independents in thu City of new Orleans became very restive under what they called close corporation Rule by the dominant party organized a Bolt. They joined hands with a Large Moat influential respectable body of sugar Andrice growers who feared that Tho duty would be taken of of the two great Louisiana Staples mentioned. The Tariff on sugar As it now stands Means to the planter about 818 More per Hogshead for his crop than he would get if there were no Tariff. Quioco a number of Louis Iana sugar planters make from or Hogsheads so the loss under a free Trade system would represent Over one half the planters profit on his crop. Touch a Man s pocket you reach his perceptions quickest the Louisiana planter is no exception to the general Rule. Small wonder either a it for the sixteen sugar growing parishes have in this particular culture about in the growth preparation of Rice.

Some time since to new England Schooner waa lying at the Rioe Mill wharf the Captain of which was the owner of a Feroos Iowa bulldog whole Mouth watered at the sight of the tender skinned coloured people just beyond his reach. Things were scattered about Tho deck of Tho vessel in a Loose manner the major told the skipper that he should be careful or to would have some of the articles stolen. The latter laughed at the Idem pointing to his dog said to would like to see any thief come aboard his vessel adding that any one who could take that half barrel of to one on the Dock near the Welcome to it. He was very emphatic As to the result of the visit apparently had in his mind s Eye the chewed up form of the would be thief. The major had noticed in the crowd a negro who had the reputation of being a very adroit thief but who had never been of the kind that when cornered tells his Brethren de White Man is very calling Sam to him he told that the Captain of the Schooner would give the pork to any one who could get it off Tho vessel Sam eyed Tho vessel Tho dog Tho skipper for True you go me Tho bar Rel if i take the skipper said yes to could have Tho barrel contents if he could get it without the dog catching him.
