The visit of one who is perhaps the best interpreter of Dickens in this day, has suggested the wisdom of giving the school children an opportunity of hearing him. - There are two reasons for this, (1) because a certain work of the great author, "The Christmas Carol," is now under study as a lit- erary production, and (2) because good reading is greatly in' need of stimula- tion among the Young. Reading is dependant several things in order to be attractive, Voice has most to do with it. Lack- ing in this respect, the words lose much of their beauty and significance. The deficiency in voice, however, may be made on clearness up in expres- sion, in the emphasis that give varia- tion to the thought, in the intonation or inflection that mark the changing emotions, The man or woman who can read well, who can put into the words be- fore him some of the force or mean- ing of their writer, or all of it, is an uncommon person. The wonder is that when great reading is so much desired and so much prized, it is the distin- guishing quality of so very few, The woman who gave school competition, a year or so ago, prizes for aft aglee. The point claims it For its friends and hangers-on only. advan- turn, is that the government is doing things so fairly ! The design has been to take tage the liberals at and it remains the game will have success, of every to be seen how far A MAN OF THE PEOPLE. Little has been heard lately of the Dtke of Devonghire, but = his sudden and unlooked-for demise recalls the la- nation a bors of a man who served his faithfully. The duke represented somewhat numerous class in England which adopts public life because they believe they ought of have wealth and to serve the people as a matter duty, The day may come in America when the sons of the rich will realize that they can best themselves by serving their fellows, by devoting some of their time and talents to the pub- lic interests. With this order standing leaders of serve they will be trained as thought, and in due season find the avenues of greatest usefulness. The Duke of Devonshire, inheriting great possessions, early gave himself He was not up to the public service. one of magnetic inflience--was, on the contrary, very taciturn and reserved but he was able, and sincere, and on under the great of offices various occasions, Gladstone, filled a number became the patron of our schools in the sense.

It is to this effect--that the commission does not assume to pro- tect: the purchasers of securities from the over capitalization in which some great corporations indulge. Perhaps the people in this respect have heen expecting too much. The commission undertook to enquire in- to the' financial operations of some companies and thdy did bring light, to some extent, how they were operated. Publicity is one wav of protecting the investor. If he gets all the facts he can judge of the situa- tion very well. But he has been look- ing to the public service commission protector in a wider sense, in the way of practically di- recling a great business so thag the money invested in it: may not be im- perilled or reduced in earning power, The commission ould not undertake to direct the commerce of the state, It could not do this if it tried, The contract would he above and bevond its capacity. The revelations of the last year--the devious experience growing out of the financial crisis and attendent upon it have done much to correct the evil of reckless speculation. The watered stock has been depreciated and the manipulators of it have passed through ordeale of the most trying description. As a result the securities that do not change so much--that cannot change because of the condi- tions under which they have been as- sured, the municipals--are in greater demand than ever. And yet the municipalities have re- necessary warning, They their councils, imbibed some of the reckless spirit of the times and were inclined to extrava- gances. The crisis came to teach a lesson ini" economics which will not be forgotten. " PLAYING THE POLITICAL GAME. The claim is made that the local government has been most fair, like the federal government, in referring the question of redistribution to a committee of the legislature on which the liberals are represented. There is a marked difference, however, in the mode of procedure. The work of re distribution has not, in the federal as in the provincial ease, heen very large. ly settled before hand, nor was it left until the eve of an election. The local government has been pre- paring for some time for the elections, ln local circles information was re ceived long since." Hence the hurry about selecting a local candidate, and the haste he displayed in commencing organization. The voters' lists sup. plemented all other work in. a certain printing office, and various 'works were entered into, evidently un- der the inspiration and practically un- the New to to become his ceived a ment, $ wn ie 1 : political and domestic integrity other | der the direction of the local govern-| under the liberal government.

Toronto Stgr, Another way of binding the empire together for an Ontario cabinet minister to take nine horses over to the International Horse Show in Lon- don, England, and win as many blue ribbons as he can : Smith, M P.P., IT seems not to have public-spirited view of the mutter when he criticized Adam Beck, at Hamilton, the other night, for an item of $1,710 in the public ue- counts. Mr. Beck felt the wound and replied in the house. He said that he had not got the money, and that Mr, Smith's statement was wrong. Mr. Beek was literally and technically right, Hi did not get the money. The United States Express company got of it, and the Atlantic Trans port company got some more of it, for carrying nine horses belonging to the Beck family to and from England, As feed bills are not included in the supposition is that all was paid out in travelling expenses, The nine Beck horses certainly moved about en prince as became the horses of a cabinet minister. It cost each horse about $200 for the return trip, which is equal to a first-class cabin passage both ways, Premier Whitney believes that these journeys de luxe are none too good'for such members of the equine aristo- eracy as Adam Beck's . blue-ribbon string.

The main thing is that 81,710 was spent for the glory of On- tario, and Ontario got all the glovy she paid for. Really! Smith, M.P.P, should He less. censorious, gets HELD TO REINS.

Fath er Harkin, had a narrow escape from serious injury He was approaching the railway crossing irom the town hall side, When a train started to pull out of the € P.R. yard. While Father Harkin was attempting to stop the horses from crossing the track, the animals turned suddenly, upsetting the cutter and throwing the reverend fath- er and Master Thomas Mantil out into the snowbank . The horses then attempted to run down Bridge street towards theélriver, but Father Harkin held to. the reins until the animals were stopped in front of McCabe's meat shop. The only damage done was a little injury to the cutter, but, as it was, Rev, Father 'Harkin had a narrow escape.
