Aldermen Livingston and Walkern, are I equally well known, are equally energetic ` l in their appeals to the voters. Each one I has been experienced in the transaction of `public affairs. But Alderman Livingston' has that in his favour which specially com- mends him, in the opinion of the Wiiiu. to the support of the electors. He is a busi- ` ness man, a successful business man. such i as the city needs at the present time at the head of its municipal government. New life and spirit have been shown in the coun- oil during the last few yesrs.-in keeping with. the revival of good times--and in considering the proposals of capitalists to come to Kingston and contribute to its industrial activity, a prudent, pro gressive nancier of Alderman Livingston s l standing counts for very much. His ` services for 1898 should certainly be so ` cured He is a native of the city. has ' ' grown up in it, has prospered in it. and Q has exteiisivelocal interests, all of which" warrant the assumption that he will be safe and judicious in his treatment of 'public questions. Moreover he is in a5 position now to devote largely of his time to the office to which he aspires. and on that account he can be expected to fairly 1 and fully discharge the duties that are iii- | cumbent upon aruayor. -...-.- mg... -uu na|4A.l\./A\lIeIn On Monday next the electors will nomi- nate those who will divide public opinion * as to who shall represent them as old - . men in the council of lsilil. l?erlie:3\ the electors will rally to the designate places-theseven points selected in the seven wards for tho purpose-in larger numbers than usual and put in the field , men who have not so far been nem-l ed for oflice. and eo occasion is` sensation that may not be regretted I The Wmu is not personal in snying this.

The Christmas of histary. the human Christmas, was then of an uncertain char actor. There was nothing essentially up- lifting about it. The jubilation attending vt was spasmodic. It left no abiding effect. It was not influenced by principle nor by love. Deeds of kindness were the outcome of custom. not of duty. It remained for chriatianity to give to the anniversary the importance which now attaches to it. Granted that, as some con tend, there was dispute for _e time as to the exact date of Christ : birth, the church is "united now-and many not of the church-in observing l):c. `.!5`th as the day on which a.
