00f4SIP OF THE TIMES.

With the last Council meeting I wish we coati dismiss
front these pages a most unpleasant sul,ject. A certain
I isneill..r aserifleed kin reputation for daring, and that
in the met fruitleot manner, for, taxed as he was with
having written a letter, Mr. Walker helplessly tried to
prevent the troth from coming nut. It was not his having
written the attack upon the Telegertin or the Solokern
Ti's that I was shocked at, for from the very first
rot 11cciif it, I judged it to be in Mr. Walker's peculiar
style. Bit that he should have hesitated to avow himself
up.cts all my pre.roneeivesl Meal of his rather rug.ted but
yet soptooseil to!. tinn qualities. That he was shown ttp,
in the thorough manner there, is elm ,at exeuse for Mr.
Welsford taking so touch trou'ile over the letter, which
was unworthy the attention it received, and especially
unworthy of ...mistiming the linuncil's time. More in
sorrow than in anger. I dr m Mr. Walker as politically "a
gone and I only wish he deserved even such a
tritinte ei WM once given to a hard hitting politician by
his ft.es -
"lien. lies (Wha's nenO, once the tester;
lie no more the towt, will pt.stei ;
II- no to ire will tell us fibs,
Or make us laugh with foolish !voiles."
The intelleetlial wrestler of whom that was written,
thou4ll terribly severe on his opponents, had a vein of
humour In him that made even those laugh whom he hit
the hardest, ant he is still respected by all, oven when a
fl lob of the old flre lights up what would otherwise be a
routine meetinz. But Mr. Walker—it would need some-
thing like a resorrection from the dead to make us think
of hint otherwise than with the bitterest disappointment
and the deepest grief.

What our Motor— with—a—virtite that threatens the
abolition of license + "to be, drunk on the premises,"—
calls "the brutal and sensual pleasures of the ale-home.,"
have Ikrn sampled for the instroctior. of the Town (' out-
fit. A ntember has thrown out the hint that what is not
gathered front the agenda paper in iy be discovered at
*hat. lr. ,"irliantentary language, we may roll "another
place." krona a late C unity Court case we learnt of a
certain politicil clots, where, according to the tostlinow
of an eminent member, "threes' and "fours" of whiskey,
and othsr varieties of the "cup that cheers, lint" Of
course) "not inebriates" varied the pleasures of setting
the affairs of the nation right. Now I learn this is a good
place to isnc.v what is coming off at the Cooncil, for even
failty agenda papers Islay ho siileieented there. Aftcr
this discovery of the instructive and valoabls, pursuits
carried on at these "club.." of the middle arid working
classes, I hope the Mayor .uay scknowle Ice that they are
sometimes the right places for the right men. The latter
may indeed llocause thou art virtuous, shall there
be no more cakcs and ale ,"' and the brilliant Councillor
who flared no with "Ii nit pm," •124 only standing
for his order, while the Mayor, having been unable to

My en—about what we may call the possibility of "over-
vigorous" refreshment: but it is the very point Alderman
Howard has so often contended for-- that the same
Ines:one should be dealt out to the clubs as is dealt to
other r 4 ac es whore men gather and may have intoxicating
drinks.
No such drinks will appear at the 13r1tIsh Workman
publichonses, which I hear the Church of England
Temperance Society is to provide. It will be a capital
thing if they get one on either side of the water, and
conduct them fairly—that is, with justice to the existing
coffee-houses, where we who don't drink beer can discuss
our politics with our coffee cop.

Oar discussions have lately had to do with the borough
auditor's report, which to my mind bits the points in the
sanitary stir. Although an unfortunate error in type put
in a ligare 1 too holly, and on made .04,1 too mach, yet
the report allowed that the late Mr. Txylor actually did
pay in the tlfl9 odd an murk oliartioed. and thug Mr.

The 'oration they so clearly pat, as to whether the
money,: reeeived have been aroolirted for, ant their
statement that they have, both shun., and settle, the real
points.

The matter beini, thus disposed of, I hope Mr. Welsford
will pot go to estrernes. The time of the I iimeil and the
public need scarcely to Le einsumed in "dogging a dead
horse." and if anylvsly is made too evidently a mark for
