The hockey match beiween junior Frontenacs and Trenton, which is to come off Monday night, in Trenton, may be postponed until each faction can get together and have a few practices pick out the players for their teams. Some time ago the man agement of the Trenton team wrote to Manager Sutherland, asking that the game be postponed, and Fron tenacs replied that they were willing ment of the Frontenacs telephoned to Secretary Hewitt, at Toronto, Thurs day, to get his opinion on the mat- ter. He replied that if the teams were willing, the game could be postponed, but it must be played off before the completion of the schedule. This ac- tion is being taken as neither team has had a chance to practice and do not know who its plavers will be, K.C.I--Picton Game Postponed. E. 0. Sliter, of the Kingston Col leginte Institute, received a telegram from the management of the Picton O.H.A. junior team, saying that it would be impossible for them to play Collegiates there next Monday night, as they would have no. ice.

The way this group of the junior O.H.A. teams is drawn up may force Collegiates O.H.A, team to drop out, according to information given by Mr. Sliter on Friday.

"We have wool, and hard- woods, and other things," he said, in an interview, '"'that this country needs, and which will furnish a basis of reciprocal traffic." Let us suppose that as a result of this simple re- vision of tariffs between these #wo countries a roar of fear should go up from Adelaide to Sydney; that "vighteen" Australian 'captains of finance" should fewue a manifento: that students from Melbourne univer: sity should go in jon to hear professors + proclaim their fears for the loyalty of their fellow-citizens; that ° the Drishane branch of the Daughters of the Empire shoul sol- emnly declare that the sanetity of eir homes was in danger; and; we should then say of Hii Buse affine precisely. what the wor saying a- hout 'us, © namely, that a pcitiagnship which was so distrustful of iteelf would he a feeble thing to rely Jin the hour of real need.

Now for the civic side of it. They tell us that with ten licenses cut off, ten hotels would be closed and license ees and taxes also would, therefore, be lost. And that is a fact. jut vhat of the reverse side of the pie ture ? Would those hotels that re main not be forced to improve their sonditions and be made better hotels? ould not some of these hotels, whose licenses are taken away, be converted 'nto good temperance houses as has been done in other cities ? And be: yond this, is there not hape--is there aot certainty in fact--that with li- censes reduced and liquor drinking les- sened, the worker of to-day, who now spends so much money on lijuor, would be saving that money and would in time be able to build, for himself and for his family, a house of his own. And if he did so would not the city benefit from this'home by the taxes which it would pay ? Would not the merchants benefit by the expendi- ture with them, rather than with the saloon on Saturday night, of money to buy the comforts and necessaries and such like ?

Toronto Weakly Sun, An Ottawa despatch announces that the North Saskatchewan Land ecom- pany has paid 10 the Canadian North. ern railway's land department £1,162, 000 in cash for 125,000 acves of land near Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, and that the land will be placed on the market among American farmers of the middle west and British capital- ists. It is probabie that only capi tulists from the America middle west, where everybody .is rich, and from Britain, where capital is a plenty, could buy this land for cultivation and occupation. Mr. Balfour, who is no longer a political leader, is said to be investing in North-West lands. It is plaih what is becoming the main stake in the North-West. Under the impulse of land speculation, prairie lands commercially valueless, bound to thirteen dollars an acre when a railroad is brought into their neighborhood. Multiply the North Saskatchewan Land company's trans- action hundred of times, and it will be realized what is being done in the west. . : A street car in the hands of an in- eapable motorman killed two passen- gers last Sunday, in To ronto and wounded num- ber of others, but the Citizens' League will hardly ask for & by-law prohibit- ing the use of street cars simply be irause of the accident of Sunday last. | Hotels are for the use and accommo- dation of the public, and if their ivileges are abused, should the le gitimate user be deprived of their pro- visions ?
