Carson, Abbott presented the report of property committee, and moved adoption. «Carried. : Ald. the its { Ald. Craig Explains. {After the minutes of the previous meeting had been read, Ald. Craig arose on a question of privileges, afil outlined his stand at the last meet ing, defending his actions in a straightforward and open manner. | According to a report in the News, of the 16th inst, "Ald Craig moved that the watering carts be purchased outside the city, and he signed the committee's report." In regard to this Ald. Craig explained that three tend- ers for the making of the carts had been received, one irom Mebermott, one from Laturney and one from the London firm. Laturney's tender was 869 higher than that of the outside {fum, while MeDermott's was higher than Laturney's. Ald. Craig told the fcommitte: that he was withing two di- (vide the difference between Laturney (and the London firm, and offer, that price to Laturpey. He did not want the work to go out of the city if pos sible. Fhe committee offered to give the contract to Laturney at the Lon- don offer, stipulating that if he ob- {jected to taking it, the conteali be given to the London firm. Laturney refused it, and the engineer ordered the carts from London. The report passed council without criticism. Ald Craig declaved that he had not on any owasion introduead polities into the council, and that it was unfair for the News to Tnake such a bold state ment, when he was the only liberal on the committee. It simply meant that he had a great deal of power over that cotamittee if he could manipulate it as he pleased. Xa Referring to another article in the same sheet, Ald. Craig stated that at the last meeting there had been no thing dishonorable intended or done, He was sorry that a paper, which pre tended to lead public opinion in the city, should stoop to take its opinion from the alderman who gave it such an item. Ald, Craig then outlined the whole procedure of his side of the famous Selby -Youlden letter. He had talked to Mr, Selby in the afternoon. urging him to come down to his price. Thee result was that he came to the city buildings that evening, and told Ald. Craig he would accept the con: tract at £1,100. - Ald. Craig asked him for a letter to this effect, went into the board of works office and wrote it for him. Mr. Selby signed it. Ald. Craig explained that he intended this letter for his own protection. The council surely didn't suppose he was going to suggest something, when he had nothing to fall back upon! He was not apringing anything upon the council. He said to council that night that he had good authority for say: ing that. the firm would accept $1,100 to baild the boiler. It was in defence of his sthnd that he produced the let ter "My stand was an honorable one," declawed Ald. Craig. "H the council bad accepted my amendment it wouald have let the council out honorably. It was the only way of frecing ourselves from! the charge of doing what was wrong. 1 was used unfairly in the whole matter." Ald. Craig also taok mayor Shaw to task for the language he used toward the Sydenham ward alderman at the previous meeting of council. "He was not using me as I should be used," said Ald. Craig. 'I did not deserve the language he used toward me. 1 have always had the greatest respect for him and for his bLuosiness ability, but it is due to myself that I should resent the language he used. L-don't think I deserved the remarks you used, Mf. Mayor. I don't know that you would have said what you did if you had thought a second time." Ald. Walkem suggested that Ald: Craig "pay no attetition to things in the papers." The press gave a fair and fall report of the proceedings, and the council got the worth of its money. The only reply mayor Shaw made to Ald. Craig's resentment of his treatment was ; S'm satisfied with what I said." "UNCLE TOM'S CABIN." Played by a Good Company to a Crowded House. There was o very large audience at the Grend opéra he last might, The old 'Uncle Tom's Cabin was as enthusiastically received as ever.

Despicable, isn't i? Where is voters' list, and if not gistered, Fhe liberals are happy fot they see victory in Kingston and throughout the province. : The corporations are not groaning over their provincial taxes hall as much as Mr. Whitney is. The policy of the government has heen conspienously successful, not only in saving and conserving our inherit ed wealth, but also in its progressive development. Reformers owe their prosperity, and all the advantages they enjoy as citi zens, to the reform party, and it is shoula your name? See the on it get re Entitled Ty Credit. Londen News, Ind. Where Liberal ad- ministration is really en- titled to credit is in wresti of territorial rights what is now known as New Ontario from the conservative dom- inion government.

He was invitedy- while ill "in hed, to become the party candidate. He consented and his nomination for the hye and general elections was un usually unanimous. Those who are not now on the roll and who fail to register will, of course, be debarred from voting at the elections. The importance of registra. tion will, therefore, appear to the most casual observer. Go up to the liberal committee rooms and leave your name and address. The Brockville Times says Ontario's books will soon be auaited for the first time in over thirty years. The Hamilton Times in ils com ment says: "And we spend money sending missionaries to the heathen while"tmmoral sheets, in the hope of party gain, publish such glaringly false statements to circulate among our people at home." The government has managed the affairs of the provinée as a good busi: ness man would manage his own busi- ness, and it has a right to look to the public that it has served for ap proval of its course. The great busi- ness and financial concerns do not discharge tried and efficient servants for the reason that they have servea them well many years. Nor will the electors of Ontario, The government's policy of opening up new districts and developing the treasures of forest and mines, hy which thousands of people have been furnishes employment, and the wealth of the province enormously increased, has heen steadily opposed by My. Whitney. He ealls the concessions made to companies "'gigantio steais." and would rather the timber should remain uncit and rot, or be destrov od by fre, than that it should be used in eonnection with. important and profitable industries. One reason why Mr. Whitney wants the government defeated is because they allowed" thé Montreal River pulp company 1,660 square miles 'rove ar less" of valuable land, he holding that the woras "more or lese" might mean millions of dollars to the com pany. For the same cause, regson- ing logically, Me. Whitney would des see power hecanse every farmer in the province who acquires a farm of 100 acres, gots a deed for 100 gores "more or less." This is merely a legal tech nioality, but little things are great. to little men. . MARINE NOTES. Getting Ready For Opening Of Navigation: Crawford's wharf : Schooner Fleot- wing cleared for Sodus.

His music bas been generally admired and for his more serious compositions he has received the warpest praise. e strength, vigor'a verve of the Sousa marches, spoke of "The March King" as "Kip ling of. Music." The Sousa band broke the record of Albert Hall, at their first London concerts Liverpool, Newcastle, Leeds, field, Manchester, their success equally pronounced. Shel Boys Handle Revolvers, There are more boys than one who carry revolvers, as the, following in cident will show. Farly on Saturday evening last a citizen was proceeding down Princess street, - and when Hoag's drug: store corner, a little girl turned the corner onto Barrie street. A boy pulled a revolver from his pocket, and, presenting it before her face, told the little girl to throw up her hands. The little girl stopped at the command, and the man chased the boy away. When be had gone some distance, the lad turned and fired the revolver into the street, just to show that it was loaded. In most cases the boys, the police say, get these wea pons from second-hand stores. Will Fence It In. "I received your communication of June 15th, and I thank the council for the gencrous offer they made, but as land is so low in value ig Kings ton, I will put a fence artund the piece of ground in guestion and hold it until it is worth more than 810." Thus wrote J. C. Swain, of Glen vale to the eity council, in reply to the city's offer of $10 for a little cor- ner lot on Smith street. The city had built a walk on one side of this property and Swain had objected to having this kindness thryst upon him The city then offered to Way the land, at Ald. Harkness' suggestion. The above letter came in reply to the of fer. . -------------- Graduates Hold Meeting.
