H E Smallpeice, J.P. representative, "Daily Win. A SUBJECT OF REMORSE. Dr. Beattie Nesbitt a suicide ! Per- haps, but not likely. He may have been the victim of melancholy, but there will .have to be evidence of the fact before it will be believed. Nesbitt had his epportunities and he did not use them well. Some people wondered he one of fie best offices Toronto--an office why public threw up in the bubble, popular fapour. His de- {feat for the mayoralty, when to suc- joeed meant that the people "should | surrender their common sense anil ac- {cept bim as thein dictator, was a proper set back to his boundless ambi- The man was lavish fn. his bold in his ventures, au- tions. expenditures, dacious, cheeky, irresponsible had a bank behind him, a bank which he plundered because he had the pull, and its stockholders mourn while he is in exile. le may have been overcome the shame and humiliation of his position--a fugitive from justice-- but this heavily built man is not the kind to replace the merry ha ha with sighs and groans and the act] that leads to everlasting silence. with THE article SPIRIT OF ENVY. An in the Ottawa Citizen, and 'upon the ownership Falls, emphasizes 'a specigs of philoso- phy which is rot convincing. Hon. Mr. Harty required control of the Falls many years ago, at a time when electric energy was not develop- ed as it is to-day, and with ideas or plans which were not developed with the passing years. Recently it was suggested that Ottawa should own the Falls, as the source of its electric power, and its council, or some of its members, affect to he greatly sur- prised because Mr. Harty at first put a high value upon his asset and later declined to part with it. The Citizen suggests that federal interference be invoked for the purpose of defining the ownership of the Falls and of forcing Mr. Harty into a chavge of mind. Incidentally it does not occur to the Citizen that it will be time enough to attack Mr. Harty's oceupation when it has bhpen determined that Ottawa should have the Falls at any price. The capital is supplied with power, at a low cost, (815 per h.p.), and it may not be improved by public ownership, of control should be discussed before Mr. Harty is threat ened with dispossession. The envious spirit is at work, and an exhibition of envy will not lead to any good, The conditions DISGORGING FILTHY LUCRE. Some men become great as a result of . their labour. Some men have greatness thrust upon them. Such was Mark Twain's method of accounting for the various conditions ander which some men found themselves. The thought occurs as one contemplates the attitude of Mr. Carnegie towards the steel trust, which is about to be investigated. The multi-millionaire has been in- formed that he must, some of these days, tell whit he kifows about the great combine. It was formed when he went out of the iron business. Mr. Gates, the financier, has confessed to n knowledge of somé of the difficulties which men had when Mr. Carnegie was af large, whem he was a dominapt force | in business, and refused to be found by the gentlemen's agreements which regulated trade. The Carnegie intercsis represented only $160,000,000 once, at, the owner's appraisement, but after he had talked of new enterprises, and enterprises that meant mischief to others then existing, the trust offered him 20, 000,000, and he acvepted it. This large sum, added to his loose chang», made. him one of the richest men in the world. Some mien become rich as a result of their industry. Some men have riches thrust upon them. The Twain iden again. Mr. Carnegie has got rid of some of his possessions. He is act ling like 8 man * who feels . that he 'should never have got the extra $160,- 00a, 000, and will never enjoy any peace of mind wmtil he rids himseli py i ---- MISUSE OF PUBLIC rowiR.

Then the council, or rather a bare majority of its members, appointed the mayor and two other commissioners, whose work has been to nullify that of the expert Laud render him helpless. Worse wil, these incompetents--ordinary laymen, of men uninstructed in the electric busi ness--on the advice of others, and these possibly interested persons, or- dered machiyery for the power plant, notwithstanding the protests of the man who was engaged bevause of his technical knowledge and ability. Thus public ownership. in Edm -nton, a great and growing city in Canada west, is being rendered a farce. or later thi result of mismanagement will Lecome apparent.

A start has been made for a greater Kingston, and its realization is sure to come if local progress and local loyalty are the distinguishing char noteristies of our people. CONSPIRACY WILL CONTINUE. Over ninety 'separate corporations cmstitute the Tobacco Trust which has just been dissolved by order of the U. 8. supreme court, and under cir- cumstances which will not disjoint nor soriously disturb the busipess. This trust is a great institution, represent ing many millions of dollars. It is not to be measured with the greatest trust in the world, the Standard Oil, but it involved so many considerations that the suit to rid it was contem- plated with, great perturbation. The Sherman Act was designed to prevent all atiempts to restrict and restrain trade. It seemed to be a to- erably clear and comprehensive law.

Their charter allows the cirg to run seven days in the week, but can the company run its cars one Sunday and not run them the next ? On a rainy Sunday, the cars might as well be in the burns. Kings- ton has not a big enough population to require a street car service on the Sabbath. A park service would be the drawing card. As more trees and flowers are being added to the parks, the Lampman would suggest own Councilman Kent that he erect more small benches in the West Street Park, There are not nearly enough benches for after- noun use, much less for the spooning couples who - meander through thw) park in the evening.
