FRIDAY, NOY. 5, 1897.
Thereeels from Newfoundland show
that the Whammy Government ran
againet a snow storm stud the Opposition
hold the fort.
Tor. Demoorats are evidently having
their innings, as in nine of the largo cities
of the it S. they won signal victories for
the Mayoralty. • In New York the biggest
fight was on and Van Wyok won with a
sweeping vote. There were five candi-
datee, bot the winner secured over 41%
of tlos tutal vote mat. Tammany still
rules in the Yankee metropolie,
Time who want an additional object
lesson on the direful results of the liquor
traffic have it in the recent disaetrous
oonilagration at Windsor, N. S., where
the fire was started by a drunken man,
and the other 0880 is that of Hutton, the
tailor, who stabbed his son to the heart,
with a pair of shears, the other day in
Toronto, while under the influence of
drink. We wonder where the compen-
sation theory wines in here.
"Wieeito is my boy tomight" is a piece
of music that should ring in the ears of
more than one parent in Brussels.
There aro at least a score of young lads
from 8 to 12 or 14 years who frequent the
street after night f1l bent ou frolio and
oft times mischief. Why are they not at
their respective homes by 8 o'clock ?
The "Curfew" bell is rung in numerous
places to signal the hour for home going
but in Brussels there are boys wasting
their time often up to 10 p. m. If some
of the fathers or older members of the
family would occasionally spend an even.
ing at home it might have a salutory
effect. A. little additional interest in pro-
viding good reading matter, some games
and inviting youthful companions to the
house would be a good move svhere these
do not now exist.
TINS has been a notable year in Can.
ado. These events may be red.lettered
in the calendar:
Tariff revised.
Teeeties denonnced.
Preiereutitti trade established,
Enlarged exports.
High cheese price.
Cold storage system a success.
Fast steamship line.
Intercolouial extension to Montreal.
Good wheat crop in Northwest.
Crow's Nest Pass Railway being built.
Rednotion of 0. P. R. freight rates.
Canals being rapidly completed.
Increased railway earnings.
Dollar wheat.
Klondike gold strike.
Yukon District reorganized.
Expoditioo to examine Hudson Bay.
Territories' new coustitution.
Postoffice Department reorganized.
Militia, Department reorganized.
A Few ratepayers have grown wrathy
since the tax rates for the year were
struck and have said uncomplimentary
things abort the members of the Council
Board. Every ratepayer should know
that the only rate the Council controls is
the Local rate, whioh this year, at 4 2/10
mills, raises 01,270. Out of this sum the
streets have to be gravelled, sidewalks
built or repaired, Fire Department main-
tained, eleotrio light kept up, salaries;
paid, fuel for Town Hall and engine per.
chased and scores of other minor matters
Provided for, but to hear some folks talk
you would think the members of the
Council took delight in heaping op ex.
pense, losing eight of the fact that what
effects others must necessarily bear on
thena too. The membere of the Board
this year will contribute the following
stuns to the exchequer, ni very fair share
for five electors :—
Reeve Kerr, $32 80
Councillor Thomeon, 80 05
" Backer, 50 70
SI
Wilson, 26 70
Leatherdale, 69 70
Total $274 62
It is said the expeotatiou was that the
increase of assessment would lower tbe
tate, This is true and no ono would have
boon better pleased to have it reduced
than the Board but the large expenditure
on now boiler for Fire Engine, new sue.
tion bon, &o., domande by the Fire
Iffiderwritere' Association, put the ques-
tion of reducing the rate out of the range
of possibility. Had die assessment not
been raised the rine would have been
nearer 24 mills than 20, As wo have
often said the highest ambition of every
Counoilmen is to make a record by bring-
ing down tho rate of taxation but you
often have to out your coat (wool:ding to
tho cloth. Any and every ratepayer ie
entitled to ask questions and have thane
answered ne to the why and wherefores of
municipal work and expenditure and no
member of the Board should object to
