Agningt the deterioration was to be laced the bigher price of machinery, and the account wns fair- ly belanced. In addition thers was the declaration of the experts whom the" city employed that the plants were worth the value placed upon them and that they werg eapabl: of rendering the city profitable service. Woull they pay ? The statements of Mr. Cross, the Toronto accountant, (whose figures were quoted by the Whig fn the - agticle "Dollars and Cents), wos referred to. Jt was pointed out that the plants began to pay fram 1597, that steadily and gra- duglly the revenues increased, and that there was a surplus in 1900 of ower $7,000 after all expenses had been paid. Mr. Mcintyre read from the 'evidence the statement of Mr. Folger before the arbitrators. The street roilway was not only willing to con. {inte the rental it had been paying equivalint to five per cont. on the stock of the urited gas and electri: companiss, aggregating over $212,000, but it was wil ing to renew the lease for a period of ten years, keep. the plants in repair, and pay u rental of $23,000, The argument of Mr, Mcintyre as indeed the argument of most of the speakers of the evening, 'including three ex-mayors, was in essence that 'the city would be warranted in 'no: quiring the jlants and in uperating them as muni ipal entefprises. WHO PAYS THE SHOT. The. point is not a hard one to up derdtand, and yet some people may not see it, that the electors do not assume any financial risk in purchas- ing the electric light and gas plants. The city issues the debentures because it guarantees them, though it does not by this 'act add to its burdens and responsibilities. Tho property which will pass from the company to the city is a good paying one. The Whig has shown that in the four years which were cov ered by the special accountant at the time of the arbitration there was a clear gain, and over and above gall ex- penses, and exclusive of bad debts, of $22,580.04. The Whig has shown, also, that taking the last of the four years ax a guide the revenue from gas end electricity was 858,070.06, the working expenses $26,161 42, and the business charges, $12,340.60, All these added make a total of $38,811.11, and these Tdeducted from the total revenue, leaves | a balance of 819,258.96, ro has been a great increase in the gonsumption of ges and eloetricity dihce thin, anl a consequent increasd { imperialist, the Canadian first, in col of Toronto a are compar- atively lukewarm in their feeling for theirs 7 The principal of Queen's University, at the reception which was tendered to him in Hamilton, made the position of Queen's very clear.

Queen's, said Dr. Gordon, is 4 national institution with na 1tjqual When the late Dr. Grant came to Kingston Queen's was small in its pretensions, its ambitions, and capa- cities. Dr. Grant was a man of large vieion and unlimited energy. He set himuell the task of expanding the usefulness of the college. While he was still" at work, making his vigour and influence tell, the propositian for uni- versity consolidation came. It had its glamours, It captivated some men, and they are now lost sight of in the col- lege federation. Dr. Grant had a marked personality and it left its impression on his stu dents. He had wonderful plans, and be carried many of them to comple- tion, rounding out a career in various ways without a parallel in Canada. He was distinctly Canadian, with the mind and will of a patriot. His char acteristics, his national love and faith and hope, became thé characteristics of the college, and they have been felt by every professor and student, Hence it is that Queen's stands for so much that makes for Canadian worth and heroism. Grant, the idealist, the patriotic, the lege and nationsf"life, is gone, but bis spirit remains, It permeates every: thing about Queen's. This, ddded to of blended with the spirit of sacrifice, of service, of endurance, accounts for the enthusiasm that everywhere pro- vails among the sons of Queen's, and gives to their gatherings their unique effects, r-------------- DIVISION OF OPINION. The press reflects the various phases of - publi: dnd there are re markabla presentations of the current thought on the temperance question. The government has under consider- wlion a 'new liquor measure." Its pro- ui ion% 'are not known, because they have not been announced. - Rumour has it, however, that it wil! abolish the Wars. Another rumour says the present licenses may be cancelled and the sale of liquor. may be conducted in #tores, run and managed by the government. This is the system that prevails in North Carolina. The idea is that there shall not be treating or drinking on the premises in which the liquor is sold. The liquor must be carried home and. consumed there. Events, of Ottawa, does' not take much stock in this proposal. It ques tions if any good would follow its adoption. "The men with well balan ced minds, with responsi ilities, with practically the care of the whole peo- ph on their hands," says Events, 'are not in the majority at the polls. They né¥er are and they never will be. If a responsible government is misguided enough to bring in a mea- sure for Ontario of the kind described a politjeal reason must be looked for, and not a reason in the interests of the proviace, its business, its prow perity, its sobriety, and its welfare."

THE QUESTION OF S00 GUARANTEE BROUGHT UP AND SETTLED. Shylock Bargain Driven--Will De- fy Critic sm--The Licensing tter Discussed--Put " Gin- ef Into Old Law. Torolo, March 8.--T1his has been a "meaty" day in politics in the legisla- tive buildings. Toronto city had two more of its improvement and booming acts before the private bills commit- tee, and was, as usual, shorn of some of its * habitual extravagant desires. One scheme was admirable, for the borrowing of $200,000 to straighten the Don river and improve Ashbridge's bay, to be supplemented by the dredg- ing of a channel by the Dominion gov- ernment, '1 hat eastern swamp is a bad a boon and a credit to the city. 'lhe provincial university was given a claim to net revenues out of the bay when it was deeded to Toronto eorporation, 'and to-day presented that claim with as much fervor as if it was again in close hnancial quarters, and not ex- tracting money from the legislature by about $200,000 or $300,000 per ses- "on. ------ The Great Question. The liberals met in caucus and jt is mooted that after enthusiastically ap- proving of the bill to guarantee $2,- WO,U000 at four per gent. to revive the Sault question came under review. It was a strictly confidential occasion, therefore, very full accounts appear in the evening papers. These journals insist that the premier presented a proposal for absolute abolition of the bars, with tolerance of sale in shops, and that the number of members who voted determinedly against it were a score at least, and that other pro- posals were mad: for earnest consid eration, and decizicn in caucus on some other fine day, such as compul sory vote on municipal election dRy, (when . women have the franchise), abolition of treating, increase of vigil ance and penalties as well as of li cense fees under present act, redue- tion in number of licenses, ete. Of course, all these will not be adopted; indeed, it may be that the putting of greater "ginger" into the present law will be the total result. The local opiion vote in January would mean this: Every village, township, town end city would vote for license or ny license for hotels or taverns, and the majority would rule till the lagisla- ture by special acts relieved each municipality tired of the new life, Shops would be voted for or agaipst separately, Towns could have taverns and shops, or one set only, or none. The premier is declared to have been very much" in earnest, never more so, and that it is the first great struggle to subordinate his strong feelinzs to the judgment and opinicns of his fel low-members 'that has occurred.
