IBUKING THE SWINDLERS. a believe that the democrats will make much of scandal in, the next election campaign. Senator Lodge is of the op- imion that all sorts of enquiries will be moved: for, and if they are refused | it will be said there is something seri- ous to conceal. The government will certainly suffer if it does not prosecute, to the end, all and sundry 'who have been con- cerned with the post office frauds. It is admitted that these are of the most hameful character. The swindles per- fetrated Jed to the robbery of the people to the extent of three millions of 'dollars. Supplies were purchased at fabulous prices, and allowed to rot or pass out of the service unused. The president has commented on the report. He has intimated that he is not willing that any guilty person shall escape. One of the great offend- ers appears to be closely related to the National Republican Committee, a former. post-office official. The whenls of justice must not be checked in this or in any other case, or the president will suffer. THE TEST OF TEACHING. In the American press some atten- tion has been given to the work of the collegés and schools. The one, the product "of the universities, has been judged by an English investigator who finds that the less pretentious institu- tions are the more effectual in that they do not depend upon the size of their faculties and the extent of their applignces for practical effects. They are {raining schools in which the young men and women receive the cor- rect ideas of life, in which the stu dents are inspired into high and noble ambitions, in which, as one made paper put it, 'preparation is foc the adventiire into the world, that vast storehouse of knowledge, greater than all seats of learning and their libraries combined." The investigator saw something moro--that the smaller colleges were doing the most in the cultivation of character, which was the distinctive accomplishment that ex- celled all others. The public school has been referred 'which reflects the light of progress. And yet child life is evidently untrained. A "| large percentage of boys and girls are rude in manner and defective in mor- als. The records of crime contain too many evidences of unwholesome liv- ing, The thought is advanced that thére was a better condition of things in the days of the district school, which, with"all its plainness, had one advantage, It impianted in the young the recognition of right and wrong. It taught little that is now expected in the public school, but it made for character, and character comes hefore smartness and is preferable to it, The whole teaching of the day needs reviving, First and foremost, as the Whig has pointed out, the men and women who 'direct our schools, should represent the highest type of character in themselves and should teach by ex- ample as well as precept. They should unostentatiously hold ' before the scholars the ideals that take root and grow and bear fruit in later life, AN EVENING'S DIVERSION, The Canadian Club, of Toronto, had an evening's diversion when it sum- moned Messrs. Foster and Tarte to address it, This club, like its name- sake in Ottawa, is a non-political in- stitution, and the men who speak at it are not expected to discuss any- thing- of a party character. Mr. Fos- ter, at Ottawa, in describing his tra- vels in England, and especially the growth of the preferential tariff move- ment, 8 pred a cog and gave some offence. That Ottawa experience was remem- bered by Mr. Foster, and in his To- ronto address he became largely per- sonal and spent his time in paying compliments 40 Mr. Tarte. The ex- minister of public works he referred to as one who had engaged in exploring, who had gone to a far country whose boundary was a turbid stream. He time, then plunged in, passed over, and continued his travels. After a long absence he had returned, with experisnces that were calculated to help him in doing better work. He did not, however, advise ' the young men to imitate Mr. Tarte in doing so much travelling and experimenting. Mr. Tarte understood Mr. Foster's reference perfectly. It was an imper- feet description of his secession from the tory party, of his service in tha liberal ranks, of his return to his first love. He justified his years 'of "wanderings" (the word used by Mr. Foster), and claimed that he had, by his travels in Canada, learned much {of it that he eonld mot otherwise pofited to the fibre greatness of this country. He defended his in- dependence of thought. He did not believe there was good in only one party. "That is a big mistake," said he, "an 'awful mistake for a young men especially.' There may be some virtue in these mushy addresses, but it is doubtfal. ------ A MOVEMENT THAT GOES, The Ref Municipal A iation of Montreal is something like the Pro- perty Owners' Association of King- ston, only that it has definite views on current questions and does some- thing. The Whig has read the pro- ceedings of a late meeting of the Montreal association, which ,was call- ed to consider the work of the council for the year. The aldermen were pres- ent. Some of them told what thay had done for the ward. They had procur- red pavements and walks and fire alarm boxes, The idea of grab with them was the idea of public service. Everything went well until that old war horse, Hon. G. W. Stephens, got in motion and made a stir. He com- mended the people for the- interest they were taking in public affairs, which was another way of protecting their own property. Then he became reminiscent, The C.P.R. company had been given a million dollars for a new station and all it amounted to was an open-air platform. Albert street had been given to the Grand Trunk company without return. Street rail- way company had been given a fran- chise worth four millions of dollars, and did as it liked. In Glasgow the city ran its own railway with cars in plenty and 2-cent fares. In the matter of light the council was in the hands of the corporations. They combined against it. The city wanted 59 cent gas and it could be supplied in Mont- real at that figure as well as in sev- eral American cities. The city wanted electricity at $15 per horse power and it was charged 860. The cure for this was municipal ownership. And so the meeting was a lively one, and of some educational value, be- cause one man went to it "load- ed," propared to go into figures and show what they meant. The aldermen who thought they were serving the city by getting fire alarm boxes and pavements, while they lot everything else go had a rude but timely awaken- ing. From this Montreal experience the Kingston Property Owners' Associa- tion may learn something to its ad- vantage. EDITORIAL NOTES. Typhoid fever rages in Montreal. The disease is attributed to impurities in the water. The fire drills are now going on at the schools, Good. And let there be no wearying in well doing. The new council meets on Monday morning. 'The session will be short enough--unless some unforseen circum- stances occur. The council chamber is a most un- comfortable place. There is plenty of hot air, but it is nearly all on the conservative side of the room. The president of the Barbers' Asso- ciation, in Toronto, is named, ap- propriately enough, William Chin. The financial secretary does himself proud with the name of Tipp. The cumulative system of voting was considered a safe method of con- centrating the power of good men. But the bad men caught on and play- ed the game most skilfully. Mr. Chamberlain said the Canadians would co-operate in the matter of not competing with the Britons on certain lines of manufacturing. But that does not appear in his revised speeches. The Duke of Devonshire has made up with the Lberals and rejoined the party, That is the latest report, and it is very inspiring. What a pity it is that he ever differed with Gladstone and wasted all these years? There is a difference of opinion ap- parently, in regard to the success of municipal ownership in Port Arthur and Fort William. Mr. King, an au thority in Montreal, alleges that the street railway, the electric light plant and the telephone system are a plete success. . com- Exits for fire purposes and all lock- ed when they should be open: That is the record in the Chicago theatre case.

B, Lowe, first vice-president of the International Brotherhood of Main- tenance of Way Employees, writes from Kingston, under date , of Janu- ary 4th to Sir 'William Mulock, thanking him and the government for the increase given to the employees of the track and bri department on the Intercolonial. Mr. Lowe says : "This is the third increase which has come to us since the present gov- einment came into power. I may say the minimum for trackmen is now $1.40 for ordinary sections, and for foremen, $1.65; in yard, section men, 81.50, and, foremen, $2 to $2.25. The men in the bridge department have also been liberally dealt, with." Mr. Bowe goes on to show that the minumum for men was $1.10 and £1.60 for foremen under the late. gov- ernment. 'The minumum for men has now been increased to $1.40 and $1.50, The total increase, he says, is over thirt per cent. He adds The conservalives promised us an increase on the eve of an election, and broke the promise the day after it was over. The liberal party, which was not too strongly indebted to many of our men, have kept their pro- mises, and three times raised our wages. In conclusion, Mr. Lowe says that the men know he is no political par- tizan, but supports the party or the government that puts butter on their bread. S------ : COMMENDABLE SUGGESTION. Robert Mantell Would Train Thea- Tre Audierices to Leave Quickly. While in the city this week Robert Mantell, the popular romantic actor, who appeared here in "The Light of thet Days," offered a suggestion to W. C. Martin, manager of the Grand oy house, that met with that gentleman's instant approval. Mr. Mantell said that in all first- class theatres hereafter in which he appeared he was going to ask the managers to allow him to request the audiences, before the last act, to leave by the different exits as they would in the event of fire. He would remind them, he said, of their school days, when most of them would have been drilled in fire discipline, and he would request that they bring the knowledge then obtained into practical use, and leave the theatre as orderly and 'quick- ly as possible. Where managers agree to this proposition, Mr. Mantell said he would step before the curtain as soon as the curtain descended at the conclusion of the performance, end watch in hand, would time the"exit of the audiences. The records made would be in the local papers, and would show theatre-goers what their chances of making a quick exit would be in the event of fire. This scheme, if continued, would have the effect of teaching theatre-goers the location of exits and. the quickest and surést way of leaving the buildings. Besides, it would educate them in dis- cipline, #0 that in the event of a fire a panic would not ensue, and the au diences could be marched out of the remises smartly apd safely. Manager Kertin will likely adopt this plan here, which will reduce to a minimum the possibility of a disaster in case there should be trouble arise. As King- ston theatre-goers are limited to numbers, and the same people attend night after night, it would require only a little practice to accustom them to the different exits, and they would be trained in discipline in the event of a necessity. Prince Edward Old Boys. Toronto Mail and Empire Prince Edward County Old Boys' Association elected officers at St. George's Hall, it being the first meet- ing of the new year. The following was the result: President, Dr. A. Rose; first vice-president, F. Spencer; re- cording-secretary, A. M. Thorne, 65 Wellington street east; treasurer, H. Welbanks. The society was reported to have had a most successful year, the excursion to Picton in August last was well attended, and the mém- bership has increased to about 300. A grant of 815 was made to the: Pic- ton High School, to be given to the three public school pupils who pass the most creditable entrance examin- ation, and £10 was granted to the True Blue Orphanage at Picton. The annual "At Home" of the association will be held at Webb's on the evening of January 22nd. A Two Minute Cramp Cure. That isn't equalled the world. over is Nerviline, the greatest relief for cramps and stomach pains ever dis- covered. Nerviline acts promptly and is very pleasant to take. "I think Nerviline is the finest remedy in the world for colic and eramps," wiites W. B. Wilton, of Toledo. "When take Nerviline I know it's going to relieve quickly and for that reason I am never without it. T have found Nerviline good for sick headache and stomach troubles and recommend it for strength and sureness." Excellent for inward use--good to rub on. Price '25e.
