Daily Wihg. QUESTION, WHO IS WHO? The Montreal group of touters agninst the reciprocity deal want to {know what A. M. Grenfell, of London, {knows about Canadian or American conditions. As one of the financial | house of Chaplin, Milne & Grenfell, ! through whom large Canadian loans {Bave been effected, he knows quite as { much, and more, than his assailants. i He is quite as good an authority as some of the Toronto noise makers, who are issuing manifestos, which are dubbed by the News as of great na- Cham. iE seems, upon who the shouter is. If a liberal, though hard to identify in an election, the gods are expected to sit' up and listen, and the ministers are expected to fear and tremble. If a conservative of the Balfour school, and so a tariff reformer, as Mr. Gren fell is, he is a nobody and his crities demadd to * know what he is fussing about ! ies A-------------------- FACING A NEW ISSUE The indvitable will happen. - The In ternational Waterways Commission gots in its Work, and all the munici- palities along the yreat lakes are made to ceasé turpitg the sewage into them. Such ao yesnlt has long been contemplated, and the necessity of it becomes apparent when the medical authorities of the Conservation Com- mission and other bodies pronounced the cause of the municipalities as in- jurions, because the water, which so largely entered: into the domestic uses of the peopled was seripusly tainted. Kingston will, sooner or later, and the sooner the better, have to consider the establishment of a disposal works. and it is bound to be expensive. Ham: ilton has such a works now, With plants at two points, and the cost must have beey half a million dollars. Toronto has under comstruction an outfit which will cost $3,000,000. The first thing is to select a site, and build towards it an intercepting sewer. The second requirement will be the appli- ances for extracting the solids from the sewage and letting the liquids go. after a chemical treatment which will make them harmless In the waters of the bay and river. Here is a big con- which will by presently foroed upon the city, entailing an expendi- ture of $300,000 or $350,000, and it is an expenditure which cannot be shirked. tract THE SCARCITY OF TEACHERS. The minister of education is the ob- jeot of constant attack, and without result, The Hon. Dr. Pyne, for some ronson, holds his office, or for wome reagon is mot removed from it. That réason has nothing ta do with his uselilness, because he is incapable of effort in the way of intreducing or carrying through any edueational ie forms. The doctor claims credit foi raising the teachers' salaries, but is the claim well-founded ? 2 'He projected a scheme three years ago by which the salaries of the fral schools were to be of a certain stan dard. But the rural school trustees this legiglation should go, and they won their point. The minister heard their | number, beeause he cannot avoid and later he may be foreed to 'Féstore those which he closed up.

Mr. Carson, further discusses the accounts of municipdlity, and in this_article com-} ments upon the assets and liabilities. | Municipal works are not condycted for | monetary profit. Citizens receive divi-| dends in the form of Health, comfort and copvenience, and the city is the | best pi which renders the best service| towards these ends, at the lowest cost. "It matters little," says the Finan- | cial Post, "if the capital account or surplus of assels over liabilities creased or diminisfied- from dear to year. A city's credit is not determin- od by such surpluses, as in the case of an industrial corporation which is or- ganized for gain. The real capital is the assessment for taxation, for by this is the indebtedness restricted and the ability to pay determined. If this argument is admitted--and the writer fails to see how it can be successfully controverted--then the necessity for a uniform basis of valuation for assess- ment becomes imperative, if an intelli- gent judgment is to be rendered, and a proper rating assigned." ' The assessment of Kingston being limited, the necessity becomes the greater for care and ecomomy in the management of the public funds. The earnings of the utilities should be husbanded, and these utilities should be managed so that. they will serve the people efficiently ahd be self-sus- taining. lt-is a poor policy to use up the earnings for general municipal pur- | poses and borrow money from the banks for improvements. every dollar so borrowed entailing a charge of another dollar for interest, provided the loan runs for the usual period of twenty years. The Financial Post touches a point of special local interest in view of the fact that the gas and electric plants had a surplus last year, "What dis- position," says our = contemporary, "should be made of such funds if they may not be used for the reduction of taxes, or for building extensions and improvements ta plag¥? The answer is "obvious. If the patrons of the vari- ous utilities, after meeting all opera- ting costs, capital charges, and ample depreciation, had not been overcharged there would exist no surplus accounts to cause the enquiry." . The ample de preciation jas not been met here, and in view of the fact that the account has been missing since the works were taken over by the city it follows that the thousands now on hand should | be held for restoration purposes, some portions of it being available for im- mediate improvements: The plan of running to the bank for loans to meet the current wants of the power and light depa pt. is surely tire some.

"I do not expect to see a fiery war- horse sporting with high spirits," Prof. Petit sand. "Our horse is very far from that, and you will appreciate its value when I tell you he only cost 5 (320)." The «correspondent says he "'found the animal to be a middle-sized brown farm horse, with a shaggy coat and a furrow in the neck, where the injec tions had been made. Teeth and eyes bore the marks of great age, but the horse was quite brisk and seemed in remarkably good condition. It was worn out when it arrived at the school, eighteen months ago. Before the injections it weighed 725 pounds, apd four weeks after the operation turned the scale at 801 pounds." An Awful Possibility. Woodstock Sentinel-Review An esteemed contemporary has dis- covered another awiul possibility of the pro trade arrangement with the United States. Maryland straw- berries are ready for the market weeks ahead of the Ontario produce, and with the market free there is no- thing to prevent the Maryland grow- ers shipping in their berries by the car- load. Zi Just think of the blow to the old empire the disgrace to the old flag it 'would be if people of On- tario were all to buy strawber- ries at so much a hox instead of so much apiece, weeks before the native crop is ready. And what is to prevent the un- scrupulous American grower inocula- ting. his fruit with annexation germs for the corruption and destruction of Canadian loyalty ? Even without the annexation the cultivation of a Coniad Jat a Ruarican fruit would surely ollowed by dangerous consequences.

Church Losing in Power. | Hamilton Times church conference in ther day, Charles Stelzle, of the bor Temple, New York, declared that "the church is slowly, but surely losing ground in the cities where the masses of people live. If this tendehcy continues, and At a great Pittsburg, the won't be any more financial kite flying .ilithe city is to dominate the nation, it doesn't require a prophet to fore tell the inevitable result, so far as the church is concerned. It is a sim- ple problem in arithmetic." He said there was a great work to be done if the church was to retain its influence. He claimed that the church is respon: sible for the spirit of social unrest, having been the greatest trouble-mak? er in history. IL was right, he said, for the church to make people dissatis- fied, but it was mot right for it to leave to professional afitaton the dity of satisfying them. But if thé church attempts to satisfy the dissatis- fied, it will have its work cut out. Huge Scheme of Marriage. Canadian.
