Their personal and financial qualities commend them to the public. There seems to be a good prospect of getting the plant. Two objections were mentioned by aldermen. One was that the undertaking would not pay, and the other that it involved digging up the streets. The first objection rious consideration by the company is a matter for more se than the town. The second is really the only point on which the franchise might be opposed. It is undesirable that the streets shall be made any worse than they are, without reason. But if it is admitted that at some later time, a gas plant will be required, it will not be denied that now, rather than in the future, is the time to have it installed. Excavations should, as much as possible, pre- cede the construction of permanent roads. It may be that the mains already down will be used. In that case, a comparatively small amount of digging would be necessary. It is commonly supposed that those mains belong to the Light, Heat and Power company, but there are people who express doubts as to Whether that company can indefinitely control unused property placed on the public street, without a, franchise, as these mains were. That, however, is not a. matter of great importance to the town. Assuming that the company do own them, it is not improbable that they would sell them to the new concern. At first sight that might seem too much like helping to establish opposition in the lighting business; but when it is considered that they have no use for the. plant, and that refusing to sell will not prevent the opposi- tion from locatlng here. it- seems likely that the company would sell. In that case the digging will be greatly dim- inished. . Aldermen will need all their Sagacity when arranging Aoi-uilc with the cmnnanV. If our citizens favor a gas WKIPI IUKV Kn I .18., ..-. __ ,, .

IIJILYAA\ u- Aldermen will need all their Sagacity when arranging details with the company. If our citizens favor a gas company at all, it is with the hope otgettmg cheap fuel and light. It will be part of the counul's duty to see that their hopes are realized. There should be some limit to the price. \Ve are not anxious to have Toronto’s experience. Those aldermen who think that matter is selfâ€"adjusting should reconsider that opinion. It will not do to say “If people are not suited with the price they need not use the gas,” or "\Ve can bring in an oppOSItion company." We want gas at such a price that the people can use it, or we do not want it all. To talk of a rival company is idle. As Mr. \V. Flavelle said, from a commercial standpoint it, is an impossibility. If this cunipany locates in Lindsay our citizens will either buy gas from it or go Without, and it is desirable that those who have to go Without- shall be as few as possible, for to all such its coming is of no benefit. There are at least two ways in which the price may be controlled. A maximum tariff may be quoted, although the varying cost of production might make that only - rtially satisfactory. A few years hence that tariff might come excessive. The other way would be to have the right to purchase on some equitable basis that could be easily arrived at. Then if the price of gas went too much above the cost of production]. the town could take over and on I:L.J-- .._,.:.J..._ I- Mr. F. C. Taylor is commissioner for this riding.

R. Spencer, in their mammoth pro- duction of Espy Wi,liams’ new rom- antic comedy "The Duke’s Jester.” The scene is laid in Milan, Italy, at the close of the sixteenth century. when romance and intrigue were at their height and the lives of men de- Voteo' to adventure and amusement. The play is replete with fun, frolic and lighting. The atmosphere of: the. story is charming. The costâ€" uming is necessarily picturesque and ireaulilul. while the magnificent scenic efi‘ects with "its minute deâ€" tail of vast elaborateness" is one of tie features of the performance. The great four-handed fight, which terâ€" minutes the play. is a new and specâ€" iul feature, while the exchange of clothing between the jester and the herione Nina de Borgio is at least novel.

Chalmers gets his dog-catchers at work, these funerals will be a. grave matter for the treasury. WHEN IN the same evening two aldermen make speeches that intend to be favorable to a project and are interpreted by their colleagues as hostile to it, no wonder if, at times, the council is a. conundrum to the public. ONE SAYS we can unearth guns in Africa, but, not the men who fell in battle there. Another reminds us that behind the pomp and applause of war are the lonely graves and the long empty years of those who mourn. Verily, verily. And yet there are people who point to the ex- pansion of our trade as a recompense for our loss. If that is it, then have we offered human sacrifices to commerce and in that deed sunk lower than the savage who hopes by the slaughter of his kind to make atonement for his sins or turn itan the anger of his gods. This great country has something better for its sons than death in battle. COL. HUGHES has done this country a great service by resenting the high-handed methods of Gen. Hutton. From a fight in which, during its progress, he was a. target of ridicule for his enemies and a source of anxiety to his friends, Col. Hughes has emerged with the flying c010rs of complete victory. In behalf of Canadian liberty he with- stood a powerful anmgonist, undismayed by his might and undeceived by the glamor of his rank. Single-handed, he has vindicated his cause, end by maintaining his rights in the resence of the Imperial authority has set Canadians a much-needed example. Toâ€"day he stands higher than ever, before the people and military of Canada, while Gen. Hutton was retired froni the country, and after a. show of service in Africa was retired to private life in England on half pay. THE TOWN is steadily improving in appearance. Fine, new houses dot the residential streets, older ones are being remodelled and made ornate, fences being removed, well- kept lawns and grounds are multiplying, shrubery increas- ing, new walks and roadways are in keeping, and the town is better and brighter every year. The business sections are keeping pace. The old verandahs are gone, plate lass is almost universal, new blocks are oing up, everyt ling indicates progress and prosperity. ut Kent-st. could be greatly improyed by a lx‘be‘ral and judicious‘ use of paint. i‘his should be applied to signboards and store fi-onts. Many old signs are distressing to good taste and the change that a coat of paint will make in a weather-beaten brick wall, justifies its use on many of the Kent-st. business places. Spring is at hand; let. there be a. hearty and united effort to brighten up our leading street in this elfec- tive and inexpensive way. PEOPLE WHO hold that the Americans are on a divine mission in the Philippines Will likely have no difficulty in harmonizing the method of Aguinaldo’s capture with such exalted auspices. Those Who hesitate to hallow rascality by the name of God will regard it as the crowning act in a career of shame. A nation that began a war by attacking the people whom it professed to befriend, and justified its continuance by proclaiming men rebels who had never been its subjects, can add nothing to its ignominy by bringin it to an end by the vilest treache. that has ever disgrac a civilized people. That procee ing will do more than many missionaries‘to teach the Filipinos the ideals of their heaven-sent conquerors. Those who believe that God has given the Philippines to the Americans must endorse methods of deliveriplg. the goods, quite as remarkable as those imputed to im by His former self-constituted wards, the Jews. The president, whose mouth is ever full of pious phrases, has honored the man who devised and executed this nefarious plot, and has thereby become a. partner in his perfidy, and set the seal of lasting shame on Anglo-Saxondom. . , Amount am debt to be wvided; -: Invested :u Mm' 7.--.‘.. .
