RB, The editor of Canadian Defence, the official organ of the Canadian Defence League, who attended the Canadian Military Couference; repudiates the idea that conscription was advocated. It is un-British and unnecessary. But there was championed a system of universal military training, as a substitute or corrective df the volun- tary system of training which is declared to have been a dismal fail- ure, 'ihe proposed universal military training is said to have dominated the whole military conference. Al most every one was in its favour, nounced feared that they nifight misunderstood. It 'was pointed out that in 1866 Nova Scotia spent $100,000 a year "and trained as many men as the whole of Canada ° does to-day." The lieutenant-governor favoured universal military training, but want ed it understood that there was be no- Oswego is up™ against a great pro- position. It has been ordered by the state health to proceed with a satisfactory sewer system and department disposal works, costing at the outset not. less than $200,000, and to fyle the plans with regard to, these improve ments before March 1st. The health de- partment wants the sewerage caught both banks of the Oswego river, and the city is inclined to hold that intercep- ting sewers will be of small account without a complete system. of sani- tary sewers.

Dr. Ryan encloses the information which was sent out by Welland's in- dustrial commissioner when he made a bid for the locomotive works. In five years some fifteen plants have lo- cated at Welland, with an estimated capital of $20,000,000, and five more firms have selected their sites, paid for them, and commenced the build- ings in which they will do, their manufacturing.

The experience has made one of our board of health think, and he is dis- posed to argue that the first and greatest essential in Kingston is a filtration plant. It may not remove all the bacteria, but it will reduce the erop to a tolerably harmless percent- age, and the treatment of water by filtration is better than its treatment by chemicals. The province has undertaken to re- model the Health Act, and appoint a number of inspectors, who will see that it is enforced. What Ontario wants is the service: of ran expert like William Chapman, who will inspect the towns and cities along the lakes aud report upon their wants. He would probably decide upon a plan of action which would have the best result. A state or a province should not content itself with giving commands.
