There was a great gathering of the political braves in this city on Sa turday. A vacancy having occurred im the registry office for the county the conservative association met to pass upon the candidates and make a recommendation. The choice of the party may be a good one, but that remains to be seen. The personal qualifications of the fortunate one are, however, the impor- {nt consideration, and it {s a ques tion whether they had anything todo with the decision of the meeting. The civil serisce commission at Ottawa re- gulates the appointment and promo- tion of all men in the inside serviee, and the sooner the commission has to do with the outside service the bet Ler.

The Rockefeller method is certainly the better one, and it will have many imitators as the years go bye. In Kingston there is a very notable ~ in- stance of the impropriety of tying up trust funds, The Midland District School Society is an eminent organiza- tion which had for its object the edu- cation of the poor. This was before the establishment of our free public schools. The society left a consider- able sum that jn recent years has been the oreasion of some anxiety. opinion has existed as to the manner in which the accumulations should be used. 4 There should be an easy way out of the difficulty. The majority should select g worthy object and vote it the money, or it should (if the sum be large) ask the legislature for power to contribute the accretions to deserv- ing purposes.' EDITORIAL NOTES. Mr. Baliour is labouring under the delusion also that the defeat of the tariff reform party in England is driving Canada into treaty-making with other countries. Some one should relieve him of that delusion. 4 The Manitoba government is doing well.

Theweity and "the sjroet railway are bound to disagree. The company want to lay down rails and give a service on streets from which it is now de barred, and the city will not allow it. The company has appealed to the privy council, and anticipating a fa. vourable judgment the legislature pro- poses to clothe the Ontario railway commission with power to refuse the railway company the permission it de- sires. The legislature has given the city power to burrow under the city and introduce the tubes ple think is the one thing necessary bring about rapid transit. The scheme is incalculably expensive.

The qty may be doing great things, in the public interest, but the outsider can- not see it, to USE OF TRUST MONEYS. Young Mr, Rockefeller has abandon- ed his business ambitions, and will de- vote himself, for the balance of his life, to the administration of his fath- er's trusts. The appropriations of Mr. Rockefeller, Sr., have aggregated over an hundred millions of dollars, and they have been growing faster than the increment can be spent, The idea is that the trust funds will be ap- plied 'according to the circumstances from time fo time, according t; emer- gency, and not as dictated by a plan or will of one who has passed gway. "In other words," as F. T. Gates, one of the incorporators of the Rocke- feller trust, remarks, "it marks a de- parture in the establishment of trust funds. Every trust that heretofore has been established has had some specific purpose for which the money must be expended. It may have been for educa: tion, for the maintenance of hospitals, or for the maintenance of other insti- tutions, or for research of some kind. wanted an indépendent counsel for the people, was offered the powet choose and vefnsed it, and then de- clined to accept Wallace Nesbitt, K.C., a conservative.

On the general question Mr. Logan writes: "We certainly agree with vou that there is entirely too much bad lan guage used, especially about réilway premises, 'and that an Anti-Profanity organization might be of some service in limiting the it.

After a week ~ of yery mild weather for the month of March, a decided change in the atmospheric conditions took piace on Sunday evening, when an electric storm broke over the dis- trict about seven o'clock. A lightning storm at this season of the year is very unusual snd generally denotes cooler weather, Sunday was very evening the sky became overcast and about five minutes to seven o'clock the first flash of lightning came.

The showers were spasmodic, but after tem o'clock the rain fell con- tinuously for several hours. Towards morning the atmosphere became cooler and for the first time in nine days the ground was well frozen over. The lightning must have done some damage throughout the district. At Glenburnie it struck the barn of J. J. Keenan "and burned it to the ground. Some live stock perished in the flames. The fire could be pldinly seen from the city. Three horses were killed by light- ning. A great deal of stuff!stocked in the barn was destroyed. Mr. Keenan's loss will be $1,000, partially covered by insurance, > Received a Bad Shock.

A number of Kingstonians drove out to Wilton, on Sunday, and had quite a thrilling experience when on their way back, when caught in the storm. The storm was so bad that they had to take shelter in a church, and stay there for a couple of hours. It was very dark, and the party had _greal difficulty in finding their way along the road, when the storm broke up. They arrived in Kingston at 330 o'clock on Monday morning.= Fine Programme Rendered. Mrs. H. P.
