Mr. Whitney may have made himself clear upon the -school question, to _Vsome, but for the perieft of the masses he will have to make some further ex: planation. After quoting the opinion of a friend, and to the elicct that the public schools are wot as good ax they were twenty-five years ago, he said "While we will da all in our power schoals the pupils in the should not be compelled to take up a eurricnlum leading to the high "In the same specch, but at another : remarked , he : : br A far ax possible subjects tanght in the higher institutions should he tought in the ic schools."

Some of the reports which are being sont out from Kingston, in account. ing for the election of Mr. Pense, are not very reasonable and not very ae- ceptable, The conservative party seems to have made up its mind that it could and would win in the byelection somehow. It made no caleulation for possible failure. It took large stock in appearances, and very little stock in a study of the situation, and when defeat came it was stupified, The Whig has not changed its con clusions in the final summing up of the result, The purity agreement was not broken, 'The insinuations of a disgruntled press, respecting the contest or the provincial contest, or both, are without founda- tion. The travellers are mistaken in assuming that there was any revolt in the: patronage question 'and that a seation of the conservatives refused to work or vote because the grit offi eials had not been decapitated. The Toronto News, too, is grossly mistaken in assuming that the people blindly or ignorantly settled the is sie. They had ample illumination. The feats and failures of the govern. ment were duly considered. The flurry of the ministers, however, and their indirect bribes had not the desired of feet, and the flowery talk of Messrs, Downey and Lucas was more than neutralized hy the coarse abuse and volgarity of Mr. Gamey. The people took « stock of all these | passing eventa--papecially of the ultimate intimidation=and they took stock of the candidates, and, realizing that the liberal ember liad been faithful to his duty, that he had in many ways and capacities served {he city honestly and well that he 'was {being persecuted by ° a political ssee- tion, rallied.to his side and re-elected | be said to have resented [| In a word "the * people of Kingston can the both the government and « to secure another sup- under terms and conditions Hy £ t between v ith regard to: the maintain: of this public building, Tar. judi {cial puiposes, does not warrant pro: ceedings so unbusiness-like as that whieh is reported. : 'Granted that the city is hound to contribiite a certain proportion of the cost of maintenance.

Cor tain firms are picked out, beeanse they are favourites with the county committees, or because they are poli: tically of a certain stripe, and they are allowed to do as they like, and the people of the city -- and county [Tiave to pay the bills. It is time that this loose method of Jdoing things, and this waste of pub lie funds, was stopped. There should he requisition for everything that' is purchased, and it should be tendered for and authorized. The get-as you please and at-any-price plan has geme on long enough, and the council that permits a continuance of it deserves the censure of the electors. Editorial Notes.
