The Windsor Record and Woodstock Sentinel have ' been giving the mibject wome attém- tion. The Record thinks the council would be very much improved if the people generally took a larger and wider interest in public affairs. The Sentinel regards the commission as superior because it trained men for civic service. The advantage does not lie so much in the longer term | or in the pay, as in the fact that commissioners take the offices for which they are best fitted, and retain them year after year, while the coun- cil will persist in changing its com- mittees every year, and in contribut- ing by this changing to their manifest ineffidency. The Record thinks that pay would make our members of the council more devoted, and that' the expenditure would be profitable. The Whig does not think so. The council system fails to arouse the interest which ob- tains in Britain, and fails to carry with it the sense nf responsibility am integrity which are apparent in Fag land. Pay would arouse the spirit ol cupidity and it would wreck insteall of improve tha council plan of gov- ernment. A conservative paper announces a reduction of duty, by the United . States tariff, on the following articles 'of food : Oats, butter, beets, stor- age egge, peas, currents, chooolate 'and cocoa. Which means that with- - ouf reciprocity, without an arrange ment for a free exchange of natural products, as the Laurier parliament proposed, the cost of living will go higher. Is that something over which the people should rejoice. © CAMPAIGN IN CHATEAUGUAY. The Chateauguay contest is on, with "Hon. Sydney Fisher, minister of agri- _ culture in the Laurier government, as "thé liberal candidate. The Montreal 'Herald, which used to be liberal but has been woefully weak on liberalism _sigee it passed under now manage: : "ment, intimates that there is some 'doubt about his election. The doubt originates in the projec- "tion of Rogers' methods in the con- _stituency. Some one has suggested ~ that his official: title should he "'min- ister of elections," rather than minis ter of public works, since it is his duty, apparently, to bribe, if possible, the electors of any constituency with 'the corrupt promises of public works. "The record of several bye-elections is 'very discreditable, so far as he is eon- ~ "oerned.

The question arises, Has the coun: cil ahything to say about school ap- propnations ? It has a local sig- | nificance because the council of this city pared down the budget of the Board of Education, for general ex: penses, cutting out one item which must be provided, namely, the cost of the evening, commercial and in- dustrial classes which 'are about to be | established. = The board cut out this provision without consulting with the trustees, and so realizing what it was doing. Later the coumcil agreed to supply most of the money required for an addition to Victoria school, but delet- ted an item for cement walks alvut the school. Whether the council has la night to do this is a yuestion | which must sooner or later be settled, and probably by an appeal to the | court. 'The trustees ave burdered with the care of the schools, and the education of the children, and their work [should not be hindered by the council--unless it has the power to check, supervise, or change the school budgets, and this is disputed.
