La Patrie, now a most pronounced Laurier admirer, is authority for the statement that Mr. Beurassa will not "interfere" in the next federal elec- tion. A good deal depends upon the meaning of the word "interfere." Mr. Bourassa will take part in the next election, or in any election in the near or remote future. He is on the eve of a great future if he carries himself with discretion. He 'was regarded as a bumptious individual, though exceedingly able, while in the commons, and he made some trouble for himself and others by his independent criticism. .| He sur- prised the country, however, when he abandoned his place in .the commons, with its munificent indemnity, to con- test a seat in the legislature. He sur- prised it' still more when he defeated the premier in Montreal. He has ris- en high in the estimation of his coun- trymen, because] he is a fascinating speaker, and because he stands for the highest ideals iy public life. So far he has. been regarded disturber, as a critic and a builder. Now | he constructive work, and it will not confined, presumably, to one field of action. If he can make good his promises, doing for his generation and hig race what only the patriot can do, serving the people without any suspicion of self- interest," and favouring nothing which does not make for the pubMe good, he will grow in power; and if he follows this course only it matters not in what election he participates.

The council could come to not reasonably other conclusion, with regard to the assessment of the pow- er department than it did, and for two regsons : (1) That the question should have been discussed at the usual time, when appeals for the work, ol the assessor are in order. and that no excuse on this point can avail. No private owner of property cam be heard outside of a given period, which is fixed by law, and the city should comply with this law uncomplaining- lye (2) That the assessment haying 'been accepted by the power depart- ment when it was made, and the tax rate of the. year struck, a ch=nge was practically impossible. The argument of an. alderman--ithat if a private company had offered the city: lower charges for the lighting of streets in lieu of a fixed assessment, the city would have accepted--may be such as would have prevailed under any one the landmarks!

One thing is very bargain is when the parties to it pub- | meet on 'equal henge | which wanted light for the stvests, Deis [ots of it at a reduced rate, should have been forced to grant the conees. sion the council of this year refuses. Of course the majority (outside of the power committee), can do as it "pleases at any time, but it is amen- able to reason and it has some re gard for a square deal. It is with regret that one hears the intimation that with the exaction of the taxes now imposed the, power de- partment will not be able to make ends meet. It is not a pleasant an- nouncement, and an announcement which the people expected to hear. There may be a limit to the earning power of a plant in this city, but without = the profits which stockhold- ers deserved, and the burden. which the street railway was formerly, there should be all tht the citizens are now getting, a better service at a lower cost, and a revenue sufficiently large to 'meet every financial con- tingency. yo. The great desideratum is a manage- ment which is consistent in its plans, which works from a definite under- standing eof every detail of the busi- ness, which is as cdreful as it is pro- gressive in its policy. The defect of municipal the changing committee, each one having fads or fancies of its own; each one prone to make experiments which may not work out to its com- plete satisfaction. The technical branch Wi the businfss is practically under the direction of an expert; the financial side of it must be similarly, in charge of a master of accounts or the city will never be out of trouble with the department. There are some conservative papers which will not endorse the attempt to steal the Stormdnt election. The Sarnia Canadian is one gf them. It wants fair play. The struggle for a seat is' such that one would think the government was short in its majority, THE GOSPEL THAT LIFTS. Dr. Eby, at one time a minister of the Methodist church in Kingston, now a representative of- the great moral movement, is preaching some very remarkable sermons in Toronto. In his latest he made this bold de- claration: "Our duty is not in heaven nor to get ready for heaven, but to plunge into our work on this earth and do what we know is God's will; if we fall by the way we shall fall into our rightful place in heaven." 'The man in the pulpit who is get- ting the most attention deals with the great moral issues of the day. He will find much in current life to cog: fuse and confound him. He will see the necessity of ethical teaching to the el that men may learn their proper relation to the state and to each oth- er. He will get down, like Dr. Frank Talmage, of Chicago, among the poor wayfarers, will catch their groans in the stress of life, and preach the gos- pel of helpfulness and love. Just as the army men will listen closely to what one will say who has been at the front, and on the firing line, will the working classes (and they re- present the great majority), listen while one who has been with them in the smoke and the grim talks of the higher and the better life. The Bible has been described as an exhaustless fountain of truth, and it is, fog to it the. preacher may go at any time for so illustrations as to the causes wnich lead to the rise and fall of men and nations. It is the infalli- ble 'treasury whence one draws inspir- didactic teaching. But there is much in life that calls for instruction. sympathy as well as Shvepoar has made the thought imperishable, that there are books in the running brook, ation for sermons in stones and good in everything. The lapd- scape, the life abroad, the verv grind of the machinery which one 'feeds or attends iin daily devotion, is telling some story which it needs the seer to interpret. Is it not the fact that in our church- es there is too much said about the dead past, about the memories of oth- er days, about the things that are crystallized in history, and 'too little about current events, about the things 'that have a pertinent effect on men and their ocoupations ? Not that the one and only subject of interest is the relation between capital and labour, as some persons. assume. There are other themes--how the léisure hours may be spent; how the tired brain may be refreshed; how the worries of business and industrial life may be healed; how the ideals of the parents may be implanted in the children; how the careless may be interested; how the fallen may be lifted; how the aver- age man and woman may be raised out of their sordid selfishness; ~ how the sinner at home may be soothed and satisfied while the shepard of souls is away upon his holidays. Oh, Dr. Eby is right. Heaven is not répched at a single bound, as good Dr. Holland has written, but by a patient plodding vin life, a faithful dis- charge of every day's duty, a com- plete and "périormance nearest at hand. Those who care Tor nothing that does not certain--that the time to get a good management, generally, is. honourable and cheerful of the work which lies give themselves up-to self-indhlgence, who con cern themselves, have no ear for Dr. Foy's , but, it is founded on the soundest philosophy. ; EDITORIAL NOTES. : The people who go about with re volvers Te d with force presume to peace, have gat an entirely new idea of Christismity.. ich : : * -------- The people of Manitoba have been terribly afflicted with fanatics.
