Mr. Allen, the Supérintendent of Home Missions for the Methodist church, kad some object in view when he portrayed the social conditions of Winnipeg in sombre colours. A quar- ter or a third"of the population, he said, were foreigners, and they were living in squalor, the children being I neglected and uneducated, and the wo- men, by reason of their unfortunate lot,- driven into .prostitution. The sit- uation, he said, was simply appalling, and disease was bound to follow the unsanitary situation ef thousauds of the people. The | council, rs city, in the estimation of its the reverend gentleman, whose infor- mation should have been revised belore | he commented upon it so scathingly in several places.

"Even the | microscopic crea- tures of the deep were no longer un- der us," he writes, and Prof. Dupuis regards this pure assumption. Though Dr. Cook saw no traces of seals it is not difficult to reason that they might yet find their way, occa- sionally at-ledst, over the 280 or 300 miles that lay between them and the pole. The climate abave eighty de grees north could not" be very differ ent. As for the denizens of the deep, beneath an unbroken field of. ice, what could be known of them ! And as life has been found elsewhere, under the untoward conditions, 'we may rest assured," says Prof. Dupuis, "that even under the great polar ice- cap the sea is yet teeming with living creatures." The conclusion is that, from . the "discoveries" of Cook and) Peary, nothing has been added to the subject of biology. The pity is that Prof. Dupuis has contented himself with so brief a dis- im as most cussion, as in this article, of so - There is no one in Kingston whom the people "would like better to hear in discourses, and: there has been what some one has called *'a great. void" since he has ceased his popular lectures under civic auspices. The mystery of Mars and the mystery of the pole would, at his hands, in public addresses, have been attended with large educational results. THE PRESS OF KINGSTON.

No doubt, if the engineer lad been here, ho would have ordered thé work stopped, but everything was nice- ly completed when he got back. The Lampman thinks, however, that some Shivouchments, ould be allowed, "if t street wi improved thereh y He would deal with every case on he merits, and let the town engineer be the sole judge. No doubt the engineer wouldn't relish having such powers, but some one person would be re quired, : "> The town of Hamilton is getting to be notoriously bad, the Lampman thinks. After so many recent episodes of violence, an * Anglican' clergyman steps into the limelight and disgraces' the ministry by vn himself to of- ficate or to allow a clergyman of an- other denomination to officiate at the grave of a former parishioner in A, cemetery over which he has some con- trol. No wonder some people will not go to church, the Lampman says. If he had been a relative of the dead parishioner, and had been at the buri- al, he would have seen to it that there was a burial service read, and woe to the clergyman who would try to prevent it! Some 'time ago, he asked a very prominent and good-liv- ing citizen why he never went to church, and the reply was that he didn't see any of his 'church-going friends and neighbors who were liviy any straighter than he was himself, The same man read the account of the burial incident at Hamilton and re marked upon it to the Dampman. If that was the kind of men who are preaching peace and good-will, he ought he was just a little better than that Hamilton cleric, who, no doubt, prayed much, but showed decency, much less charity. - - © og. Ii David Laidlaw's Moral and - So- cial Reformation Association fails to get tho town council to put a liquor roferendum togthe vote of the people, it 'can blame itself for its stubborn- ness in not taking the right course of action, the Lampman deelares. That association, he says, should have fol lowed the method set forth in the law of the province; by getting a sufficient- y signed petition sand preséating it to tae council, which would have had to grant it, because it is so writ in the 'uw books. But as usual with bodies of good intentions, but poor judg- ment, they have gone the wrong way about it, trusting to the good sense of the council. What do the present councilmen care about a reduction of licenses ? Not five of them would vote for the referendum, for, ag the Lamp- man has pointed out before, the town council "is a whiskey-elestive council. That's a fact, he says. Just look at what occurred in Sydenham ward last January, he points out. The tories brought Pr. Anglin out to beat Coun- cilman Toye, and spent some money in trying to clect him, but they couldn't. Dr. Anglin is a temperance man, of a great temperance family, and the liquor party wouldn't-have him in the town council, and worked solidly for hi: opponent, who is, of course, one of the best councilmen the town .ever had. This year's council won't act on tho Moral and Social Re- formation Association's petition, the Lampman declares, unless it is forced by a direct voice of the ratépayers ox- pressed through a preperly-signed pe- tition. He'll be a surprised man if the question goes to the people in Janu- ary, i --~THE TOWN WATCHMAN. Doings At Donaldson. Donaldson, Oct! 14.~The social in Mundell"s school, was well attended.
