Hud- ley, of Yale College, holds that labour in America is deteriorating, and that this fact is due to defective training and the interference of the unions. Or- ganized labour may affect the appren- tice system, and by limiting the num- ber of apprentices there may be em- ployed to the number of men. But organized capital has more to do with the situation, and for The reason that it does not look any more for the all- round mechanic who can do certain work expertly: 'The great industries are manned by forces who 'are divided and sub-divided 80 hat the work is passed along, in its various processes, and finished by ten or fifty hands in place of the pair onc man pay use. This is the team service that finds favour in so many institutions, and the premium system, has which, with revolutionized shop labour to a very large extent. Mr. Hudley's idea is technical education is beter than the utilitarian_plan of America, but the German mechanic has to fall into line with what custom and experience de- erce as best in America. The new or- de? of things has apparently come to stay. Tn, place of being abandoned it is heing further developed. PICTURE OF THE BOYS. The Montreal Star is not quite sat- the position of Hon.

In Kingston there have been contin- gent expenditures which could not be met out of current revenue. In Hamil- ton there was a sewer that had to be built, and it cost $35,000. But the deficit exoeeds this amount by $100,- | ci 000, and again' and agaip a similar excess of expenditure over revenue has had to be added to the debt of the | mx city. Now a succession of deficits sug- gests mismanagement, 'and the Times intimatés that the trouble in Hamil ton is due to «the undue presence of polities. 4 "It js worthy of note," says this carnival of mismanagement and financial riot is a' year when both a place." This is the more remarkeble since the Spectator took pains to ex- plain for the benefit of the Whig that the "employment of the party machin. ery or organization was under - right conditions, perfectly justifiable. = In view of this deficit of $135,000 in one year it igievigent that a political council is not the proper thing.

And Goods to the Value of About $100 Was Taken--Thieves Cut a Hole in the Door. The busy burglar is still at work in Kingston. Some time during Sunday night, it is believed = during the wee sma' hours, entrance was secured to the grocery store of Joseph Lem- mon, corner of Montreal street and Raglan Road, and goods to the valuc of close upon $100, were stolen. It is believed that the work was done by a gang of amateurs, who have beer aoing considerable thieving around the city for some weeks. My, Lemmor keeps a general store, and the thieves helped themselves to whatever took their fancy, pipes, tobacco, leggings no doubt having a thought for the cool winter blasts, and also made of with provisions. There is no doubt but that their main search was 'fo money, but in this they were given ¢ disappointment, as there was not ever any loose. change left where they could get hold of it. As a result o the great amount of petty thieving, which has been going in this city oi late, the majority of merchants are recognizing the faet that it is not safe to leave money around over night 'The. thieves had very little trouble in securing entrance to the store. A pane of ps on had been broken in the front door and had net been replaced. For the time being a" piece of poard had been put to ood service. © The thieves made a neat job.in cutting & hole in the board and then it was a very easy matter to put 'a hand through the opening and unlock the door. The panel of a second door was also knocked out and then: the thieves had a clear passage. Rev. Dr. Galbraith Dead. "The, remains of the late Rev.
