But, sie, this "step lively" placard is an indication that we can learn to swift even from the slowest, for it s Wn ° indication that the car eom- pany is setting, slow, antiquated old Kingston a swifter pace, and that One tay even hove for a ten-minute street car service, for who will say that a twenty-minute service is not a disgrace to even Kingston. No wondir we make a retrograde movement to the wear when the census man comes' jound } Our stagnant po- pulation and' doubtful prosperity would vanish but for the public institutions, and the annual "fair," with its "chestnut" horse rac- 8, and accompanying deficits, % Kisieston has its matiral advan- tages, but they are not utilized = or appreciated by its Yorpid population ond hamdrun aldermen. As I said be fore; the street car service is ubsatis- fuetorv, to put it mildly, and the lighting: system of the city is not much better, It has not an hotel worthy of the name, nor an up-to date restaurant. Its roads are in a disoracelul condition 'the: mest of the year, and, until quite recently, pédes- triane were in danger of life and limbs from the defective sidewalks all over the city, A swimming bath, or baths of any kind, a museum or pic- ture gallery, a public library, or any institution that would make for the comfort and' wellbeing of the people are foreign to Kingston. Outside of the opera honse, the i of which are invariably ex: orbitant, there is not a public place of recreation in the town, excepting the saloons; no place where a work: ingman and his family could spend a half holiday or a Sunday afternoon. Therefore, sir, this "step lively" pla- card should be welcome as a good omen. Keep it up in the cars if only to deceive ourselves that we belong to a very "lively" town. 1 do not tter myself by assum- ing that anything I could say would pull us out of our "slough of de- spond." Our leading citizens, 1 sup- pose, will continue to button-hole the voter, to get around the "Horseshoe," to strue~le like a child at a bauble, until they feel the chain around their their picture taken and imasine they have done something.

As the Star says : "Toso pourses are the university of a ureat body of citimns who have been prevented bythe necessity of earning a living from following in the paths of science and philosophy, but whose lave for these pursuits economic stress has not obliterated."
