We often hear how poverty drives. people to crime. People "say if only men's circumstan- ces were comfortable' they would be honest, and the way to make all men honest and diligent ard mutual ly useful is to remove the strain of hfe by an requal division of the world's good things, We find, how- ever, in practice, that good times produce more viee than bad, more drinking, more gambling, more cheat- ihg, more indifference to religion, more pursuit of idle, and vicious pleasure. We are not, of course, judging the cases of the men arrested, but de ploring the fact that such things shold be becoming common in re gions of society where we have; not commonly looked for them. Not one case in half a dozen is ever heard of. I'he young men's mothers and sisters beg them off, and at great sacrifice make good. Costly Municipal Experiments. Hamilton Times. Municipal cireles in Winnipeg are a little worried over the discovery shat no provision has 'heen made ¥ot the cost of an olectrical distribution plant to cost the trifle of $3,000,000. When the scheme was launched do- mestic light was promised at a meter rate of three cents per kilo-watt hour without any fixed charge, and for heating purposes the promised price was 3-16 of a cent. per kilo-wautt. the impossibility of these rates are now being realized, but there is =u tendency on the part of th public to insist upon their being put into force 1f fow mo other reason than hat of "showing up" those men who were responsible for the prospectus hat misled them, Meanwhile the Winnipeg kleotric Co. promises to meet any out the city plant inake, and the municipal 'cwunership- pers are at a loss to know how to reife the = $775,000 required to meet, the charges.

There do not seem to be many of them around, he remarks. They are scarce 'as fresh eggs in Winter, and quieter, than the falling snow. The tories seem to be in complete control of the town. However, there:is one thing the grits did do, and that to render the election for the Kings ton riding clean. The acclamation giv én to the Frontenpe ward physician made it unnecessary to distribute a "reptile fund." The franchise retailers are bowed in sorrow because no ten- spots have ¢ome their way at this fes tive season. No doubt Canon Starr :| us wi also rejoicing. It appears to the Lampman that Kingston seems bound to elect Presbyterians to serve it in parliament, as itg two members are of the Calvinistic faith, believing in tho} ten commandments and that all things are foreordained. ' If the mayor had followed his first inclinations last Saturday night, the Lampman is informed that he would have had the artillerymen ordered out to attend to the een's stodents ashen they came down town for their "rush." Wiser heads cautioped his worship against bringing out the bat- teries until it was found necessary, Dear knows what tragedy might have been enacted had the soldiers and the students" clashed in © streets, for neither body is very fond. of the other. A couple of little speeches to the stu dents saved a lot of trouble, but be fore the mayor made his little address at the college, he was for or- dering out the soldiers to frustrate any attempt of the gown-wearers to do damage to places on the chief thor- oughiare of the town. , The Lampman is glad to see that the town historical society ghas been re- vived, and hopes that it will do some- thing more than meet once a month and talk over the old days in this dis trict, He thinks 'that this society might have made an attempt to pre serve the old blockhouse at the end of stead of allowing it to be sold as tim- ber. The sum of five or six hundred dollars could have purchased the place as a landmark. The town council was also very remiss in not co-operating with the society. An effort should be made to secure the little frame strue- ture on Queen street in which the first council of Upper Canada was held in 1793. Who ought to be mayor of Kingston this coming year ? This question was Asked 'the Lampman yesterday, and his reply was that there were four mem- bers of the town council who deserved the honor, and they are Councilmen' Toye, Hoag, McCann and Rigney. The first named is admitted by the latter three to be the most deserving of the "bunch." If Mayor Graham would step out of the way, Councilman Me- Cann wouldrenter the field, against other comers, the Lampman under stands, and he is also told that if no one else will come out against Chris topher, the popular drug man ap town will be a onndidate, and Council man Hoag would put it all dver the present incumbent of the mayor's of: fice. --THE TOWN WATCHMAN.
