P.P. or M. P. though the difference in pay gives a ghtter to the M. Pls and M.P.P's, Lut official salaries are geheral- ly in the inverse ratio of the value of the services rendered. The municipal council is the starting point of legisla tion and the character of the legislation of our municipal councils has a power- ful influence for good or for evil on the parliamentary legislation of the country, and if more care was taken in the selec tion of our municipal councils our parliamentary selections would be im- proved in like manner. As politics are now run a municipal councilor is a more responsible position than a M. P. or M. P. P. Parliamentary repre- sentatives have little or no responsi- bility, there are the leaders and the led, the leaders may exercise their judgment bu! the led are not supposed to have any judgment, their faith must be pinned to that of their leader, if the leader say the crow is white the led must swear to it, and so long as they follow their leader no one finds fault with their course. Still it would be greatly in the interest of economy were the lerders alone sent to parliament and the led, or rank and fill, left ut home. But each and every member of a municipal council acts for himself and is responsible for his own acts, how supremely ridiculous would it ap- year if one or two members of conncil were caught sitting at the council board with eyes shut and mouths open ready to vote yea or nay on any and every question according as their would- be leader voted. ; Municipal councils tent. But it is not enough that muni- cipal councils of one year, do ns well as those of the previous year, if knowledge is advancing and intelligence is on the onward march then it should be expect- ed that the legislation of one year should be an improvement on that of the previous year. Of all things legis- lating in the old ruts should be care fully avoided, and as a sharp storm | purifies the atmosphere so an official | blowout at least every two or three years cleanses the municipal atmos- phere, infases new blood into the con- cern and prevents any leak from gett. ing into the public purse. Officials too long in power get two big for their clothes and entirely over look the fact that they are public servants, so when any of their masters--the publie-- apply to them for information their mightinesses if they deign to answer at all, will reply with a growl and speak at and not to the enquirer. Tt is always safe and generally profitable to give the whole municipal machinery a thorough stirring up and renewal every two or three years. Municipal officials soon begin to put on style and regard themselves as the corporation and that the duty of the ordinary tax- payer is to provide fodder for the cor poration cow so as to secure plenty of milk for his official highness. Municipal and in fact most other elections are too often run in rings and electors seldom seek a candidate outside the ring, and many mén both able and willing to serse as councilors will not offer themselves feeling that they are not in the ting. Every man who is willing to serve should offer his services and in doing so he is doing a duty to himself and to Lhe corporation, if the services are accepted all right, if not the corporation is still indebted to party for offering himself, It is hoped that the approachi great im nee entitle them.

Suppose Mr. Thompson, as plaintiff in a ease, summoned a defendant, with no charge, and then ask for the defendant to be condemned, you would surely conclude that the case should be treated as the Com- | miss d of Mr, Leggott' 3 but an inv tion, he 'dors but tries to shift the difficult: to whom ?), well, to Robert Th Om pSon an his gang, he made the announce- ment from the Julpit -- ("1 ask Mr. Thompson to deny this, he dare not"), .

Windsor, Dee. 7.-- A despatch from Seattle, Washington, says :--* A gen- sationul tragedy occurred hi a late hour last night. 'Chas, Rogers La , aged 22, shot and instantly killed 5 Mary 8. Storey, about the same age, and a leader in musical circles, aud then put a bullet through Lis own brain. He had long pleaded a hopeless suit for her hand, and frequently threatened to kill her if slie did not yield. Mrs. Storey's two children were asleep in an adjoining room when the tragedy occurred, She had just returned from the operas and had gone to her room, when he followed her, and, being agnin rejected, shot her and then killed himself. Mrs. Storey was wirried at Port Perry, Ont., where her father,. Rev. Canon Johnson, was stationed many years. Her husband travelled for a Guelph house, and a few years after their marriage they 'went to Montreal to live, where family jars were frequent, After a time she left Storeyfand returned to her father's howe, Brampton, with her three children. Later she went to Ottawa, where she had a large cl.iss in music, oo " ing well-known in musical circles, She had two brothers und two sisters, the former Leing employed as manager and assistant manager of ¢he Memphis Cotton Seed Oil works, One of her sisters, Nellie, 18 the wife of Walter Morphy, a prominent lawyer at Brampton, and the other, Emma, is the wife of Thomas Usher, former ly receiving teller of the Bank of Hamilton, at Hamilton. Mrs. Storey's father gave up preaching a few months ago on. account of age, and is now boarding at the Crawford house in Windsor. The Storeys were married fourteen years ago, and the youngest child, a girl nine years of age, is living" with the grandfather in Windsor. Storey . who is now believed to be in San Francisco, is the eldest son of a wealthy landowner in England, but, for his treatment of his wife, was severely reprimanded by his father several times and finally disinherited, his portion of the estate being held in trust for his three children."
