'Attention, members of the board of health. There is considerable sickness in the city, and enough of typhoitl fever to suggest that there is some- thing asriiss with the sanitary conuli- tions. The Whig has been informed by one up Johnson street on night, that ' the foul odours arising from the public sewer at one corner were most offensive. Ope cannot imagine how the people the vicinity can escape in- the poisoned air, and one case of typhoid who passed Wednesday living "in jury from having to bréathe in fever may be traced to it. Some protection to' public health can be afforded by flushing out the drain, wherein lies decomppsing and putrid matter, and this can be fol lowed by the plentiful use of powerful disinfectants, . pr t------ TOO MUCH ECONOMY. The work is now going on of ex- amining the foundation and wall of the new gas tank, on Barrack street, and the Whig has no doubt that Mr. Campbell will redeem his pledge and see that the contract is made accept- able without expense to the cipy.' Af- all it is a pity that the electric department was so economical with this The structure meant 'for the service of a ter regard to work. was not year. The old gas company built the foundations of two small gas holders and it resorted to cut stone and the fimest masonry. There is no flaw or defect in the work today, after the lapse and wear and tear of = half a century. The new tank should have had as good a setting, though it cost $10,000. That is the feeling today. But some ago it was not known that the city would have any surplus from the appropriation for improvements, and the committee act- ell with a desire 'to live within its means. It had a holy horror of de- ficits. Now its members may be sorry that they did not run the risk of seeming extravagance in an undertak- ing which will stand out conspicuous- the months ly with the city's enterprise. for # = ann vc " next two or three generations, TE rm The race track gamblers, chased out. of the United States, are said to be in.

The politicians of New York state, some of them leaders of the republi- can party, are determined to prevent, if they can, the choice of a man like Hughes, or. of even Hughes himself, for the governorship of he state. The | reason is obvious. Hughes, on tak- ing office, decided upon a just' and' honest administration of the people's For the time being he felt that he did not represent any party, or any division * of it, but all the people. He was never a partizan and in the gubernatorial department he was not the political boss. : Then he knew no party in his deal-. ings with the legislature and senate of the state. No better evidenge could be cited of this fact that the com- binations that took place of republi- cans and democrats in their resistance of his reforms. Now it may be that the people do not want as their representative in the state house a man who cannot be cajoled, coerced or confounded, that they do not want a continpa- tion of government that has been marked by the highest statesmanship, but all the appearances are that they It is of no advantage to Mr. Hughes. ' "The office has cost him $75, 000 a year, and his income has been $10,000. Other men have not got the power in public office. His experience suggests a condition that the electors of a great state must greatly appreciate. Besides, the state is democratic. All the chief offices at Albany are held by demo- crats except the one. Hughes out, in: the last election, on hia mem» its. He can win again, without the help and endorsement of his party-- if he wants the office, of which there is very much doubt.

LESSONS FROM THE FIRE. Any one who stood by and nessed the earlier attack upon, the fire in the city hull must have concluded wit- that there was something amiss. The wich marked fire. It Whig saw the smoke the earliest presence of the saw the futile attempt of men to reach the blaze and extinguaish it with water drawn from the hydrant direct. The scamper after an engine was the proof of a tactical blunder. An 'engine should go out with every alarm, whether the emergency demands it er. not. Better that every rig in the service of the city should go clat- tering to a fire, and return to the stations unused, than that a big fire ®hould sweep across a valuable property with devastating force. Then the miserable dribble that followed the connection of the engines to hydrants too close to each other, and the collapse of one of the stcam- ere it had fairly got to work, recalls the Odd Fellows' Hall under somewhat similar circumstances. Even the water supply was good in {his instance, but there was gross de- fect in the tapping of the mains, and the harbour was near at hand, The inability of one both the.steamers to pump from the adjacent wharf calls for concentrated thought on. the part of the city council. The Calvin steam- er, from Garden Island, and its splen- did service, was the redeeming feature of the fateful day.

From the time the Limestone City regiment awtived at Point Levis and crossed into the 'ancient capital, it has certainly made an excellent im- pression and done credit, in every way, to the city. Every time on marching into .camp the first entry at East Savard park it has been greeted by the cheers of the brigade to. 'which it is attached. The Princess of Wales' Own are attached to the 4th Infantry Brigade, under the command of Lieut.- Col. John Hughes, brother of its own adjutant. The brigade is composed of the Governor-General's Foot Guards, and the 43rd Duke of Cornwall's Own Rifles, together , with a composite re- giment from Eastern Ontario and the boys from Kingston. The health and well being, general- ly, have been all that could be de- sired, and, although there has been rain several times, it has never given great inconvenience to anyone. The regiment has the reputation of pro- viding the best food in camp, an ex- cellent, testimonial to Caterer Harris, On Wednesday, the 4th Brigade took part in line for his royal highness, the Prince of Wales, and occupied a section of the route which favored an excellent opportunity to see and be seen, from the monument to Cham- plain down .

To- day the programme for the 14th con- cludes with a share in the royal re- view and the entrainment for home. When they march up Princess street, on Saturday, the citizens of the old city will welcome a noble body of troops. With Roberts At Head.

The earl received a tremendous ovation as he saluted at the. head of his corps. At 11:30 o'clock, on the famous Plains of Abraham, mid. a scene of indescribable beauty and naval and military grandeur, his 'royal highness the Prince of Wales, prior to review- ing the naval and military troops of 25,000 men, handed the governor-gén- eral the title deeds of the splendid battlefield of Abraham and Ste.
