Now that the real prospect of the women's request in really un- derstood. it will be "sat on." The wisdom of giving the fair sex the general power to vole is seriously questioned, and the expediency of diving both the man and his wife {votes is disputed on every hand. Two souls with but a single thought, two hearts that beat, as one, will have to get along with one vote. When it transpires that the man eannot use it aright it will be in order to transfer it to his better half. . Another point has been settled by the municipal committee of the local house. It is that the man who ac cepts pay for any service at the poll, as a scrutineer for the candidate or the city, eannot vote. The money transaction disfranchises him. There will be fewer, perhaps, in search of the dnside job wpon such terms. Consulting The People. An experience in Ottawa is of some value in: Kingston, educationally. The city has desired to raise, by way of a loan, $86,000 for exhibition build ings, and $65,000 for the extension of Water mains. It sought a special act through the legislature, legalizing the procedure and the: municipal commit objection. If held that the people should have been consulted upon the subject, and it made a difference as between two' schomes or plans. It let the request go tor the loan for the exhibition build' ings and it blocked power to purposes, It was argued in behalf of the Ot- tawa council that it represented the people, and 'that the legislature should give them what they want. "It is clear," said the Free Press, in discussing the case, "that Mr. Mo Dougall has something to learn with regard to the spirit of the institutions under which we live.

It was alleged, at [the last council meeting, that the contemplated improvements could be carried along like the water: works' improvements. The Ottawa repulse suggests that there may be a difference of opinion upon this point, Sewers are as neces: sary as gas mains, Why should the people be consulted about one and not J shout the other?

There is room for them all in the North-West, in the de- | velopment of its resources, and there they should proceed at once, Any but agricultural labourers are not needed in Canada. Business is booming, and the various occupations are inviting the attention of all who | desire profitable service.

Adam Beck. suggested that 'the bill be held over for a year, and that in the meantime & special commission look into the question of electrio railways. The bill was, thereupon, withdfiwn, but not before the committee had decided that the city should have the control of its streets. 2 This recognition of municipal rights has been tardy enough. The cities and towns have been defied hy great cor porations--chiefly hy the electric light, electric car and telephone companies-- in the matter of using the streets as they desired. Ht did not matter how much damage was done or what the appearance of the street might be, the companies insisted upon the condi- tions of their bond, granted to them without the consent or concurrence of the municipalities, It is a change and a welcome one, that guarantees a pro- per recognition of the rights and pri- vileges of the councils acting for the people, > it Editorial Notes. The reputation of the government is at stake in West Kent: The revelations in connection with the license Business have beén very hurtful, The Ottawa opposition has a keen scent for scandal these days. It thought it had one case, on the boun- dary line fence, well in hand, when the bottom fell out of it. The writ for the London election will be out in a few days. The fight will be short, sharp, and decisive, Mr. Hyman is not acting like a man who is afraid to meet the people. The Toronto Telegram is curious to know what Mr. Borden would dé with Monk, Bergeron, et al, if he had of- fice. and power ? It recalls that he broke Mr. Wallace's heart by not re cognizing him as the financial critic when Mr. Foster stood aside. The municipal committee gave muni- cipal ownership a gréat knock when it laid over for a year Ottawa's hill for power to purchase the business of the Consumers' Eleotric company. In laying the matter over for a vear the committee hurt the scheme. No, the senators have not time now to go off diverting themselves. The divorce bills are now under consider ation; In one case there is "the most engaging woman who has ever appear- el as a respondent before the com- mittee," and she is getting a lot of attention. Peter Ryan of Toronto, has ex- plained that he did get $9,000 for auc- tianing the last timber berths, but he tealized high prices for the govem- ment. He knows the country and he knows the men, and has a most elo- quent tongue. The combination comes high, but it is worth all the money it is paid. ; i ------ SPIRIT OF THE PRESS. That Depends.

St. Louis, Mo., May 18.--Distinguish- ed prelates and members of the clergy of the Roman Catholic church are gathering here fiom all parts of the country in anticipation of to-morrow. when Archbishop John Joseph Glen- non, the new metropolitan of St. Louis, will be invested with the pal- Hum in mark of his high ecclesiastical office, Seldom in the history of the church ir the west, has there been so distinguished an assemblage of Cath- olic prelates as is now here. They in- clude more than a score of archbishops and bishops in addition to a host of of : The sacred vestment will be placed on the shoulders of the archbishop by Cardinal Gibbons of Baltimore. Pre vious to the ceremony pontifical high mass will be said by one of the dis- tinguished visitors, and = Archbishop Ireland of St. Paul, will deliver =the sermon. The ceremony will take place in, the old cathedral and admission will be had by ticket. The palliom, meaning literally, a cloak or mantle, is a band of white lamb's wool, embroidered with purple orosses, and is worn about the neck by the pope and all prelates of archi: episcopal rank, including patriarchs and metropolitans. In former times it was made of purple embroidered linen and was worn by all bishops. It has two pendants, one hangine down _ the breast, and the other down the hack of the wearer. The palium is worn at all times by . the pope, but only on solem noccasions by others, It can nev- er be transferred to another person, and it is always buried with the body of the man who wore it during life, Right Rev. John Joseph Glennon, who is to be the recipient of the dis- tinguished honor to-morrow, was born in Kinnecard, County Meath, Ireland, June 14th, 182, graduated from All Hallows College, Dublin, in 1883, and was ordained priest a vear later. He came to America soon after his ordin- ation, and became assistant pastor of St. Patrick's church, in Kansas City, Prom 1887 to 1892, he was pastor of the cathedral there under Bishop Hog- an. In 1892 he became vicar-general of the diocese, and two years later ad- winistrator. He was appointed co-ad- jutor bishop of Kansas Citv. with the richt of succession, and consecrated Titular Bishop of Pimara in 1896. Lat- er he was appointed co-adjutor to Archbishop Kain of St. Louis, and succeeded to the archbishopric on the death of the latter two. -- "THE OLD SCRATCH." How the Evil One Came to Pop- ularly Xnown as "The Old Scratch. "dus One of the many familiar names of his satanic majesty is "The Old Scratch." 1t is undoubtedly due to the fact that seratching is so dis- agreeable that people thought it no worse than the evil ome. A scalp full af dandruff keeps one scratching all the time; not only disagreeable but considered very inelogant in polite so- ciety--as it should be--bocause one ought to keep the scalp so clean that it would mot itch. To cure the scalp of dandruff effectively, use Newbro's Herpicide. Tt kills the germ that creates the dandrufi, which is pro- liminary to falling hair, and. fmally baldness. No other hair. preparation kills the dandruff geron. Herpicide also is a 'very delightful and effective hairdressing. Sold by leading drug- gists.
