THR DAILY WHIG, THURSDAY, MAY 16, S-------------- Co ws ------ IN GRATEFUL MEMORY. -- Board of Trade Pays a Tribute to Late Dr. Grant. At last night's meeting of the Board of trade the following resolu- tion was moved by Joba Hewton, se conded by R. Waldron, jr, and un animodsly adopted : "That the Kingston board of trade desires to record its keen gppreciation of the loss suffered by Kingston and by Canada in the death of Very Rev. Dr. George Manro Grant, late pringi- pal of Queen's university, im this city. "It is fitting that the body which represents the commercial interests of Canadg should join with those who represent government and education in giving immediate expression, at its first meeting, to the *feclings which are shared by all. The ward of trade might 'well do this, if for no other reason thun because its last annnal report geknowledged that the institu tion which owed its greatness in large part to principal Grant, was of al most incalculable benefit to the city's business life "But there are higher motives for this resolution; commerce and manu factures owe no greater delsts than those they owe io education, and for principal Grant, who was the cmawm- pion facile, princeps, of higher edu: cation; for the man who might him- seli have well claimed the motto 'Canada First'; for the man who looked far enough afield to see the sourge of our greatness, and, while' 4 Canadian first, was proud to be a sitizen of the empire; for the man who won for himsell a commanding posi: tion where his opinions and actions received universal respect, this board of trade might well record its very high esteem. "Principal Grant, gs a Kingstonitn, a Canadian and an imperialist, will five 'in the traditions and records of Kingston, of Canad, and of the em pire. But perhaps he will occupy no higher place than that in the thoughts amd memories of the indivi deal members of this board, with many of whom he formed strong friendships, with many of whom be bas taken counsel, and tu all of whom his force of character and its expression in word and manner will always remain 5 subject of Venera tion "Be it, therefore, resolved, that a copy of this resolution be sent to the mentbers of his family." THE ATHLETIC GROUNDS. Kingston a Wild and Yet Limp Sporting Flace. Rockwood Review, After many years of precarious ex istence the Kingston athletic grounds have at last passed ito hamis which will see that all the money spent in the past was not fn vain. The great amount of bhilding going on at Queen's put all possible chance of hav- ing a satisfactory campus made, out of the question. The students did the best possible thing under the circum stances, night the athletic grounds which were about to pass out of ex istence, a melancholy tribute to the fact that Kingston is at once the most wildly enthusiastic and yet the limpest sporting town in Canada. The athletic grounds have been simply a burden for years to a few devoted spirits, such as E. J. B. Pense, who have tried to preserve them for the boys of the city. No matter what money was spent in equipping the grounds, the vandals of the town were allowed to destroy and steal ev- erything they could lay their hands on. Apparently the police were Blind tw the destruction and stealing regu larly carried on there. When games were played hnndreds of boys and young mem deliberately tore down fences and walked in unrebuked. No wonder the directors were discourag ed. A new order of things will be ev olved--the grounds will be refenced a caretaker appointed when possible and a way will be found to deal with the lawless element. Notes Of Sport.

For They Have Obtained it as a Result of Liberal Action--The Conservatives Vigorously Op- posed it. At this election hundreds upon hun deeds of young men will cast their votes under the manhood suffrage sys tem introduced by the liberal Ontario government. A point that jhese young men should know, if they do not know it, and re- member it is due only to the liberal party that they have the right to vote at all. It is a hard cold fact that Mr. Whit- nev and the conservatives vigorously opposed the granting of manhood sul frage, but the liberals had faith - 'in the young men amd carvied the mea sure through and 'made manhood 'suf frage law. Hon. - Richard Harcourt, the pro vincial treas rer, who, addressing a meeting in London--his remarks are applicable to Kingston, as well amd as foreibly--the other day, said : "There are not a few young men in this city who on May 20th, will cast their first ballot. 1 have a word to say on that. | remember as though it were last night when we were discuss ing the propositiong of that registra tion bill; which give the first step of a megsure of justice to those young men. What happened ? The conserva: tives in the house opposed that mea: sure 'more bitterly than I ever knew them to oppose a government mea- sure in my twénty yedrs' experience I sat in that house till the sun streamed its rays into the chamber, and 1 repeat that the conservatives opposed that bill bitterly, | therefore appeal to the young men and say to them that the liberal goverment of this province acts on Nits, which have controlled liberal governments the world over. It has trusted the young men, and from time to time extended the franchise, I ask the young men to remember that fact when they cast their first ballot." So, manhood suffrage voters, mark your ballots for Pense, who is going to Toronto to support the governs ment which gave you your votes and who will have the power to advanve the intevests of the constituency, such ad & conservative meigher, sitting in the cold shades of an impotent op position, will be unable to do in any manner whatever LETTERS TO THE EDITOR. Rather Premature. Kingston, May 13.--(To the Editor) It has been charged that the Whitney party had no policy. This seems to be a mistake, as they still have the same old policy of deception and bluff, that they have always had, one feature of which, in order to secure and retain the support of some voters in this city, in the present contest, is to pro mise them the positions now held by the officials of ihe present Ontario government, Certain persons have al ready been named for license commis is freely stated," have been offered by some of the Shaw: workers any posi tion in Rockwood asylum, up to that of medical superintendent, that hey desired, if they would only turn 'out and work and vote for their man, None foolish enough are likely to 'be found who will be caught by such chafl, all sane people being convinced that Mr. Whitney and his party are not likely to have the opportumity of conferring these proferred and coveted positions, er any others, on any obe, as the Roms government will assured lv be returned again by an increased majority. Ordinaty modesty and de cency: would suggest to any common sense person, fio mabter how anxious and ardent be might be that his par- ty win, to patiently wait until his friends attained a position to warrant them in holding out these rash, empty and premattre inducements, knowing that the opportunity to fulfil their promises will not be afforded them, as hey are likely to continue in the cold shades of opposition. --COMMON- SENSE Push Not Luck.
