As to the proposed division of the insurance on School property having regard to the companies and not to the agents, we have no doubt that the committee in their selection acted honestly mom-ding to their light. : Wemildsnggostthatthismlebe ap- plied to all the school property, and that to prevent misunderstanding, if for nothing else, such magnificent cor- parations as the Commercial UniOn, In dealing with the errors of public officials, whether believed to be uninten- tional or otherwise, we shall at all times advocate prompt, thorough and decisive action. \Ve do not value the advice of our Reform cotemporary in the present instance, to defer to a more convenient season. We hold as ten- der :1 regard for those who may see fit to vindicate the law and protect what they believe to be their own in- terests as we entertain for those who my give cause for such action. The statement published in our last issue of the amount of insurances held by the different companies and their Lindsay agencies upon all the school property of the town up to Oct. 2nd, the date of the formal complaint to the Board, was taken from otfical sources and the figures were correct to :1 dollar. As‘ to the instructions under which the‘ Building committee took the insu- rance in connection with the New 1 Collegiate out of the hands of the con- tractors, they_did not form a. part of the J tors, or establish the opposite and re- establish public confidence. By all mums let. our Town Fathers do their duty to themselves and the public in Act, are unworthy of those who ought to possess the confidence of the public. The expression that “there’ 3 something rotten in Denmark” generally exists among the ratepayers, just or unjust; and the course we suggest would either prove the truth of it and correct the er- cussion, as the evidence of the illegal transactions complained of was upon the books of the Board. Mr. Corneil handed in his resignation, and the re- maining trustees, as provided by the Statute, declared the six seats vacant and forthwith ordered a new election to fill the vacancies. It should also be stated that letters from the companies, of which Meats. Corneil and Taylor are agents were read guaranteeing the policies which it is claimed became, void under section 247 of the School Act. Thus ended a meeting of the Board 3 in which more interest has been taken by the public than in any session that has been held for some time. In the opinion which is generally held that tn rewas no intention on the part of the trustees whose seats are now vacant to make improper use of their positions upon the Board, we entirely concur. But this in no way afi'ects the importance to the public of having the laws for the prevention of impro- per practisea on the part of public offi- cials rigidly enforced. The prompti- aude with which our School Board and i the members charged acted in order to ‘ relieve themselves of “ even the ap. cc of e ' " cannot be too highly commended. It would be a wiseact on the part of our Town Council to take a 1 leaf out of the Board’s book, so to ‘ speak, and at once without any formal! notice from without look into the re- 1 cord: for the present year and discover t whether or not they would reveal any t transactions unworthy of its members. TransactiOns whether contrary to the"a letter or the spirit of_ the Municipal f chsirman read letters of resignation from Messrs. Dobeon, Winters, Reeves Flavelle and Taylor. These gentle. men admitted that they had unwittingly transgressed against the ‘ statuteâ€"in most cases for very small amountsâ€" and very properly on their atten- tion being drawn to the matter, at Once severed their connection with the Board, and refused to take their seats or further interfere with its delibera-p tions. Important legal opinions were; then read by the chairman from G. H. Hopkins, Solicitor for the Board and also from the Educational Department, Toronto, all declaring the six members disqualified, and still further that in- surance policies or contracts secured through the agendas of school trus- tees for the Boards of which they are members, to be null and void. After a. good deal of unnecessary dis- former meeting Mr. Comeil pointed out 1:th section 247 could also be made to npyly to Messrs. Dobson, Winters, Reeves and Flavelle, and subsequent investigotion proved the correctness of his sts'ement. At the opening of the last meeting on Friday last, the question of the disqualification 0f several members would come up for the final decision. The notice served upon the Board on the 2nd inst. by Mr. J. D. MacMm‘chy claiming that Messrs. Corneil and Taylor had {$50 fade vacated their seats under section 347 Public School Act for Ontario by} holding or having transacted fire1 insurances upon the school property, proved not only a bamb, but as one of our witty cotemporaries puts it “ a. bomb with a boomerang in it.” At the, owing to the fact that it had become generally known that the important attendance of spectators was as a cation on Friday evemng last was largely attendedi one member iny Mr. J.

Twenty-five perSOns were killed by the explosion of :1 gun at a village festi- val near Madras on Monday. 7 There is perhaps no matter in con- nection with the work of the present town council which has caused more . dissatisfaction than their policy in re- gard to the assessment. The raising of the assessment to so high a figure ' for the purpose of lowering the rate, in order to place the town in a better - position before the ontside world. and . the promise that no increased taxation was in View, were announced side by side by the council when the change was inaugurated. The high rate and increased taxation wish which the ratepayers are new face to face, has produced wide discontent, and natur- ally so. In face of the promises given, and in face of the heavy burdens which lthe Lindsay ratepayers have to carry, 1 {the most rigid econmony ought to have i marked the policy of the council. W‘e ‘ cannot but believe that they have adopted an opposite course. Nor have the ratepayers the satisfaction to feel that the expenditure for necessary re- pairs and improvements has brought them the best returns. trav ance and bungling have gone and m and; 'and the large amount dealt out so lav- ishly for what might be called extras l and luxuries and which might easily have been avoided, indicates a regard for the feeling and interests of the rate- payers not to be commended. The whole record of the council for 1888 can bear no other interpretation, and we believe the verdict of the rate- payers next January will be in ac- cordance therewith. i It has occuried to us that the ques- tion of School trustees being also mem- bers of the council is worthy of serious censideration. On occasions especially when large sums of money are required gfor school purposes, as was the case last iyear when a call was made for $20,000 (for the New Collegiate Institute and a similar one for $7000 this year, the dual representation system is open to serious objections. The expenditure .for school purposes in a town the size {of Lindsay is at all times a large one, and the spectacle of trustees coming from the Board to the council to assist ‘ in voting themselves the monev has the mppearance 0f impropriety about it, to say the least. As to whether the ne- cessary time can be spared by such members for properly attending to the work of both corporations is also a mat- ter of doubt, and we believe the ques- tion is entitled to earnest consideration in all its bearings. CHARGED WITH WIFE MURDER. Municipal Matters. A report of the proceedings of the Town Council on Monday night will ‘ be found in another column. The ses sion was a. lengthy one, and withall a. stormy one. The proceedings through- out were made lively by the repeated efl‘orts of Capt. Crandellto criticize the expendituris of the year, but such were not encouraged by his worship. The Captain was repeatedly called to order, out finaly broke lmse from all control and fairly deluged his Worship and his faithful followers with a perfect stream of denunciation. Indications that the elections are not far distant also mark- the proceedings. The obnoxious Dog thy-law was swept 06 the books, and [an ingenious move made to administer1 ' the Fire limit by'law with partiality for a purpose. It is not our intention ’at this stage to enter upon a detailed criticism of the acts of the council for the present year. To this we may ap- ply ourselves somewhat later on. In the meantime we would strongly ad‘ vise the electors to weigh carefully the record for 1888, In order to be in a position to give a veidict in the interests of the town at the elections in January next. «â€"--â€"--â€"â€"â€"â€"â€"â€". 3mm.

IZâ€"In a speech at New York T. B. Barry, who resi ned last week from the General Executive fioard of the Knights of Labor said: “I state now,and will rave it right, that General Master \Vor man '1‘. V. Powderly is illegally using the funds of the order, and using his posi- tion to further his ersonal ends. I know that D. J. Campbel , of Scranton, went to Washington a. few weeks ago, ostensibly to see the President in regard to the miners of that district, but principally to secure a. promise that if the labor vote was handed over to the Democratic party this fall Mr. Powderly would succeed Mr. Carroll D. Wright as Chief of the National Labor Bureau. The General Muter Workman has Mr. Cleveland’s promise in his pocket now, but in my estimation the labor vote will not be handed over to gratify any such base desire.” This made the negroes who had witnessed the aécident frantic, and they quickly sur rounded the train and sent for a. rope. All the crew managed to get on the engine, which they stealthily uncoupled from the train, and by pulling the throttle wide open managed to escape. A shower of bullets was sent after the flying engine, but they did no harm beyond breaking the cab windows. Negro Miners Attack the Crew of 5 Freight 'l‘rmn.

The hunter haul sought refuge from a. driving rain storm. and he built a fire of dry leaves and twigs to warm him- self. The cave was somi filled with smoke, and as he sat half dozing over the red hot coals a peculiar sound in one comer of the cave attracted his attention.

Ian-Every detail?“ ' Pacific mail contract is now finally between the Imperial Government and the Canadian Pacific Railway Company. Ten- ders for three new steamers will be re- ceived within a week. The contract stipu- ‘ lstes that service shall commence in eighteen ‘months, the company receiving annually ‘ £45,000 from the Imperial, in addition to the £15,000 from the Dominion Government, for a. monthly service for ten years {ram Vancouver, not only to Yokohama and Hong Konrv, as at first intended, but also calling at § snghni. Increasing anxiety is felt here to learn whether the Dominion Gov- ernment realizes that the whole efficiency of the Canadian route to the East now de- pends on the Atlantic service, and if that equals the New York serviceâ€"say, 18 knotsâ€"the Canadian route to Hong Kong will easily compete with the Suez route, otherwise the fast Canadian rail- way and Pacific service will be useless. It is felt strongly in official and commercial circ s that if Canada. in- tends to supply the British route to the East she must make sacrifices and initiate an adequate Atlantic service. It is pointed out that Australasia. with a. population of four millions, annually paysfor purely oceanic service £315,000, while Canada pays only a fraction of that amount. The Times in an editorial commenting on a correspondent‘s letter, indicates Canada’s clear duty. The letter says that many here are wistfully awaiting the decision of the: Dominion Government. It rests with them to give such an admirable service, with per- fect terminal arrangements, which Atlantic travellers long for. The Times’ editorial adds that if the Dominion approhends this oppportunity, it is entitled to anticipate that it will become the main link across the two oceans.
