The doctor expected recognition, and when he did not get it made things as lively as he could for the administration. The boss said he would stand by Gamey, and the man, from Manitoulin said he would seo his political father to the end of the game, There have been some changes--in the interest of peace. ? The boss has been located in a comfortable office. Pr. Willoughby is to go into the cab- inet as the minister of health. Dr. Pyne is to have as a chief superinten- dent one who will run' the education office as he commends. Everybody is getting something but Gamey, and the man on 'whom 'he was permitted to lean, as oh a piller or post, has been removed. . What if the government is going back on ils record, in enlarging its membership in place of cutting it down, in appointing members from the house to public offices, in intro- ducing the spoils system; and in mix. ing capital and ordinary revenue as it should not be! The people will forget' 'and condone anything. At lsast that is the expectation. Going Back On Its Record. The function of Col. Matheson, while a member of the opposition, and the diversion, was to prove that the Om- tario government was continually run. ning behind in its accounts. The col. onel was great on figures, when in op- position, and he piled up the railway subsidies, the promised to pay in an nuitios, and deducted the revenue from timber limit sales, etc., and changed or. converted a surplus of two or three millions into a deficit of two or threo millions. In feats of this kind Mr. Mathesori was a phenomenon, Mr. Whitney backed Mr. Matheson up in all he said, The leader did, not pre tend to know the minutiae of Mr. Matheson's mathematics, not being a fiend at figures, but he was quite ready to believe _anything that was charged against his opponents. Hence it came about that at a political meet- ing during the last general election he pronounced the liberal 'surplus "a myth." Mr. Whitney did not go into details, not being disposed to "weary the peo- ple," though usually long-winded, but he objected to the entering of the money from the sale of timber limits into the receipts of the year. For that alleged: outrage or deception he would not stand for a moment. As for the snocession duties they were too high, and A downright imposition, After that we would expvet to find Col. Matheson and the premier engag: od in a revision of the accounts. The "faults" or "Irands" of the Ross gov- ernment would not surely be perpetu- ated. But they are. The Brockville Re- corder, published by ex-Minister Grah- am, remarks ; "Col. Matheson says he has $600,000 of a surplus, but, as he has always said, the receipts from timber should not go in current account. As his par ty has opposed the succession duties, these naturally should come out, to say nothing of receipts from 'other sources, to which * the conservatives, when in opposition, objected. Take out the receipts from timber sales, $520, 000, and from succession duties, $700,. 000, making a total of $1,220,000, and the brave colonel wotild be some $600, 00) to the bad. Surely he don't ask credit for income derived from sowre- es which he condemned but a short tine ago." a % Vill be not ¥ Just wait and see.

At the board of works meeting yes- terday afternoon, were Al Car- son, (chairman), Gaskin, Bassam, and Couper. J The question of the sanitary condi [tion of the main sewer on lower Bar- rie street, was before the board. The city engineer adviced that test pits be sunk in order to find out the condi tion of the sewer.' Ald. Bassam thought that the: bowed should wait till a petition was sent in befor e ac- tion wis taken. This was decided up- on.

Already the minister of education was being visit- ed by deputations urging the claims their towns. Kingston was an ideal place for such a school. We had superior advantages to offer and he hoped that by united effort one of the schools could 'he placed here. He moved, seconded by Thomas Lambert, to this effect : "That, whereas it is announced in the public press that it is likely to be the intention of the Ontario gov- ernment, advised hy the minister of education, to abolish motlel schools in the older counties and in lion there- of to create new normal schools; and, whereas the educationists of King- ston have been contemplating and urging a change in the conduct of the model 'schools and are much concern- ed in the formation of training schools of high educational value; and, whereas Kingston has claims for the proposed and is able to offer advan- tages of a superior character in an ucational sense; therefore, he it raolva! thet this board recomend the forming of a large and influential committee to elaborate, formulate and present to the minister. of education the city's claims and advantages for a training or normal school; and that this committee be composed' of Chair- nian' Kelly (convenor), Messrs.

The Too frequently an external cause for fever . is looked for, when the real sotirce of trouble is from within the body itself. La hn To begin with, the liver becomes torpid, sluggish and inactive, and poisonous bile is left in the blood to corrupt the whole system. The result is the oyerworking of the kidneys, and the clogging up of the organs of ex- cretion, Food which should be digested is left to ferment and decay in the intes- tines, and inflammations and fevers are set up. In such a condition 'the Body is a regular hot bed of disease, and is most susceptible to any ailment of an in- fectious or 'contagious nature. . The best insurance against disease is the use of Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills to keep the liver active.
