WHEN GIFT HUNTING! GEO. AI LITTLE, ‘THE Dominion parliament has been called together on Feb. 3rd, for the despatch of business. THERE was ample food for thought 'between the lines throughout the public meeting on Monday evening last. to those who can read. While Conn. Sootheran was made the “scape- goat” by his unsavory confreres of 1898 in connection with the “saiary grab,”the tributes to his obility were not lacking. Mayor Smyth in dealing ‘ ith the finances referred to Mr. Sootheran,to whom perhaps more than any other man is attributable the fine financial showing of the year. Then again Conn. Sootheran’s name comes to the front in connection with the “good roads movement,” and not- withstanding that he waa neither the ‘ n; 1),”.-- “A- an}. “In-ALA BBOTS ¢° SHOES TOYS.

Macmillan on Sab- bath Last. The services in Sr. Andrew’s Presby- terian church last Sunday were of a most 1 interesting and impressive character. Having special reference to the advent of our Lord. the singing and lessons were eloquent of Christmas. and the morning sermon was a beautiful setting forth of the joys that cluster about the day. In the evening the pastor took occasion to preach a sermon on civic affairs. We regret that we are not able to print it verbatim, but below will be found a synopsis that will carry the line of thought. The theme is most timely, and. Mr. Macmil- lan’s analysis of the subject presents its various phases in a manner that cannot- fail to bring to the minds of all concerned certain very useful considerations that will 11) doubt have their results in the coming year. Taking as his text Matt. 12 :12. “How much then is a man better than a sheep,” Mr. Macmillan explained that this is the principle at the basis of Christian demo- cracy. It is the worth of a man, as man. not as ratepayer. landlord or noble, that has given the people the right to rule themselves. The growth of democracy through many centuries was rapidly sketched and a tribute paid to the heroes who fought for “ government of the people, by the people. and for the people.” The speaker claimed that if faults wexe‘ to be found in the municipal government of Lindsay that the head and front of their offending lay with the electorate. The blame is to be laid first upon the voter, and last ot all upon the members of the town council. The very callousnees of the electorate shows that the civic affairs of Lindsay are not managed in a very wicked fashion. The people may be careless, but they are HUL Ulnvvuu us an..- _.__, or flagrant wrong bad been perpetrated there would have been an eruption of some sort about it. We do not believe that there has been any embezzlement. or any innocent: person imprisoned, or any general abandonment of attempts to do the town’s business wisely. The speaker proceeded to condemn two features of the clvic life of the town, namely : The custom of publishing anony- mous letters, and the lack of respect ahewn the council. Anonymous letters mignr 0e Juauucu either when agreatterror existed. frighten- ing brave men into caution and secrecy. or when the matter they contained was purely impersonal. A proposition in geometry needs no other signature than A.E D. But anonymous attacks uponl the character of public men are altogether to be condemned, They are as useless in evidence as the testimony of a parrot or a phonograph would be in a court of law. They generally shew the spleen of the writer. No editor should print them and 1 no one should reply to them. In speaking of the respect due to all rulers it was asked, “How shall we pay these men?” Experience shows that it should not be in money but esteem. James Bryce gives it as the reason for the superior character of public men in England over those in the United States; thata place of political power gives in Engiaud social prestige and influence. We will get better service from our coun- cillorsif we pay them in honor rather to With this object in view they should be ' a1 asked to perform only duties of the noble sort. They ought to be the rulers and fathers of the town, not its servants and errand boys. All labors of a routine, or clerical, or commonplace character should be performed by competent and trust. worthy oflicials. These men shoulJ be paid as good salaries as possible. Joseph Chamberlain of Birmingham cites as one of the reasons for the success of municipal government in his city that the chief officials are paid as highly as a business company pays its employees. Of course Lindsay is not Birmingham, but the same methods apply in smaller measure. Nor should the citizens encourage or expect a personal canvas by candidates for election. It is not intrinsically wrong but it puts the ballot upon a basis of persmal friendship rather than personal merit. It encourages a narrow citizen~ ship, and puts a useless and demeaning load upon the shoulders of men who F should be freed from such. ‘ We should elect only our best citizens. Tue honor should be given charily. Let ' it be a reward of merit. If a man has done well in his own businessand shewn himself to be public spirited, let this be the laurels his neighbors place upon his brow. No citizen is entitled to consider a seat In the town parliament as beneath him. Some must, on account of other duties, cansider it as aside from them, but no, man has a right to despise it. It is really a great honor and a high trust. And because the people do not respect the council as they should, the council inevitably loses respect for itself. This has been shewn l'y the crowds flocking to the town hall, not to take a patriotic w. interest in the affairs of the town, but to VV wab'iluua. ’5 quelifienticne. 1. 0f etrong character, impervious to anything but reason. 2.

There are always menl ready to use injuriously what better men l neglect. Unscru-pulous men will seek} office for its gains. direct or indirect. Weak‘ men will seek it for the gratifica- tion it afiords their vmity, and will prove mols in the hands of worse and stronger men. Blatant men will seek it for its publicity, for the chance it affords for airing their empty eloquence. When William Pitt said “ I have no fear for England, she will stand till the day of Judgment.” Edmund Burke replied: “ What I fear is the day of no ‘ judgment.” This is the danger of our situation, that on account of the indifier- ‘ence of the many honest citizens, the monies and morals and honor of the town may be squander! and lost. ‘" To the Pcllsl If you want a prohibitory law for the province or Dominion,go to the polls on Monday next and mark your X after the word against. and thereby retain what .

After the pro- gram prizes were given to the Miss Lil) Hard- ing and Alice Matthews, the two papils who took highest standing in the examination held on the life of Paul.

This is t‘ie third time that the school has had a Christmas tree and though the others were good this last surpassed them both. The children who were invited to ‘ come at 5.30 p.m. began to arrive about 4.30 ‘ and from five o’clock there was a steady stream 1 pouring into the church eating, drinking, 1 laughing, shouting and then eating again. The l programme, which was long and varied, was 1 announced to begin at 7.30, and at the l ‘Specified time only stnnding room could be found. It is a fact that at Christmas every one is merry. \Ve need not go into the philosophy of it. It would be hard to find an audience anywhere more ready and more willing to be amused than the one which gathered there that night A glance at the gallery showed nothing but one huge smile. The floor of the church was mainly reserved for the little ones, and very pretty they looked from the older scholars, who drew on their past experience and knew what fun was in store for them, to the youngest tot who gazed with eyes that should have been closed in sleep long ago, wonderingly on the glories of the Christmas tree and the innumerable dolls and picture books. The programme was long, but the ‘ audience was sorry it was not longer. Too much praise cannot be given to those who trained the children, for the way they played . their parts told of long and careful work by their teachers. We imagine that there is . nothing more pleasing than the sight of little r, ones giving an entertainment. Some forgot to , bow, some bowed twice,isome of the boys f never had any intention of being so efieminate â€"-why, they would be called “girl” for many a day, and bow they would not.

In the middle of the program, however, a. letter was received saying that Vixen’s bog spavin was better and he would try to get down in time. Later a. telegram was received from Coboconk and we waited impatiently, knowing he was near. At ‘ last he came wrapped up in coats and shawls innumerable, full of jokes and fresh air. The youngsters who saw throu h the disguise enjoyed the fun no less than t e tots who saw before them with staring eyes no other than the real hero of their nursery rhymes, the” venerable Santa Claus, who climbs down every chimney in Christendom on Christmas eve.
