The council is advertising itself ad- versely' with regard to its streets, and the manner in which they should be improved. The people were asked at the last election to vote upon a scheme, not defined, by which some attempt would be made to give them better streets. It occurred to many at the time that the electors would fail to see that anything important could he undertaken for the sum sug- gested, but the proposition was car- ried. Now the evidence is being sup- plied of the indecision that promises to make a failure of the business. It may have been the scheme of the late chairman of streets, to lay a few blocks in the different wards with or- dinary macadam (properly rounded and drained), so that the electors might duly appreciate their value, But it is certain that had this idea been propagated it would have met with disfavour, for in two places, at large expense, the macadam roadway had been made, and already, after a few months' wear, there are serious defects in it. Clearly, the macadam, procured and laid in Kingston, is not enduring enough for a city's streets, on which there is considerable traffic. The $9,500, which is all that the city council has at its disposal, will not permit it to do much in the way of experiment. The business streets should be paved with the material that will wear the longest, and there 8 no sense in hiring expert talent to give advice to the aldermen if that talent is not heeded when it is con- sulted. Paving has been recommend- ed. True jt costs money, but it pays, and the money should be as available for this purpose as for elevator and railway and other bonuses which have served to load the city with a debt, the interest on which is absorbing so large a part of the annual revenue. In another article the Whig will in- dicate how the city could finance this matter of paving the streets without encumbering the present generation with obligations it cannot carry out. ---------------------- EXPERIMENTS A SUCCESS, Mr. Ruddick, Canada's dairy com- missioner, has effectively disposed of Mpntreal in the cheese-curing establishments of Brockville, Woodstock, Cowansville, and St. Hyacinthe, The Gazette made, or fried to make, two points: (1) That the govern- ment had bought a lot of cheese, in connection with its stations, and lost money upon them; (2) that the cool- curing process was too expensive to be copied by the factorymen, and that, therefore, the whole outlay, or most of it, went for nothing. 'Mr. Ruddick has made a recent ro- joinder, and as the subject is one which interests many cheese mien in this district (this being the location of the Eastern Untario Dairy School) the letter is quoted in full : Sir in the issue of The Gazette of the 18th inst., you refer editorially to the cheese-curing illustration which was conducted by the depmrtment of agriculture, during the years 1902- 1906, As you and 1 view this matter from entirely different standpoints, I do not intend so argue the general ques. tion, but I would like to put vou i on a question of fact.

When we started to experiment with this process, it was not used at all in Canada, now its use is quite general for stored cheese and will be more so in the fu- ture. It was the experimental work during the five years of operation which enabled us ww work out the details of cool cheese-curing to a de- finite and clear cut basis, so that factorymen have been enabled to start on. practical lines without mak- ing costly mistakes which have delay- ed the adoption of the improved me- thod. When these ing rooms were started there were all sorts of plans proposed for controlling the tempera- ture in cheese-curing rooms. There is only one plan recognized now. It re- quired no experiment to prove that cool-curing was a benefit cheese, but it required expensive ex- periments to demonstrate the most practical and least expensive plan of putting it into effect, 1 wish to put these matters right before the i , because such statements, if not contradicted, may tend to prevent for a time some own- ers from adopting cool-curing at their factories.--J. A. RUDDICK, Dairy Commissioner, . ------ EDITORIAL NOTES. By the way the conservatives of Kingston have not responded to the liberal challenge to renew the purity agreement, Why ? ---- A lot the hoard of works can de in the way of pesmanent improvements in the different wards with $9,500 ! There is more promise of the money being simply wasted. The conservatives of Peterborc have been approached with regard to a purity agreement, and will not have it. The inference is plain. The rep- tile fund will have its trail. ---- The members of the eouncil school board who do not attend to committee or board meetings should not find fault because they do not know what is going on. -- Rev.

Publicity is anded The premier of Ontario is the Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde of Ontario. The good and the bad in him have been strangely mixed. He thought he could do as he liked, being big and brave and bold, but the bad got the best of him and he is suffering from its spasms, ------ Rev. Mr. Hossack calls upon the people of Ontario to see that the new legislature is so constituted that the government will be less autocratic than Whitney's, and that some things that have recently brought discredit to the province are not repeated. The warning is significant. The expression of Le Canada, that certaid members of parliament were "tainted persons, who had boodled with the funds of the Foresters," called for denials from Mr. Fowler and Mr. Bennett.

When the interview began, Mr. Hanna asked the Collinawony deputation if they had any objection to reporters being present. They said, no. Six reporters entered.

Picton, April 2.~St. Mary Magda- lene's church looked quaintly pretty, to-day, when, at high noon, it was the scene of one of the most fashion- able weddings that has been celebra- ted in the historic old church, Rev.
