MANY and important changes in territorial laws could be made with profit 10 the people and credit to the next assembly. Much is ex- pected of that body, and We sin cercly hope the anticipation, will not result in disappointment. Our election laws nnticcably call for re- vision. As they exist at present they present both the temptation and opportunity for fraud and cor ruption. Let them be revised to such an extent as will at least give a check to repeatcrs.

No, my boy, the world will not stop

very useful but no one of us is indispen-
sable. For twenty years worked on
the theory that was the hub in my bus

the spokes and rim would go to pieces.
Early and late was at the desk, the hol-
idays were not marked on my calendar,
and my entire life was compassed by the
lines of trade. have grown wiser since
then. One after another prominent bus
mess men have passed away, and have
seen the enterprises of which they were
head and centre successfully conducted
by other hands. This has led me to the
conclusion that the details of well-es
tablished business can be intrusted in {
considerable degree to intelligent anC
faithful employees. Nowadays, with mor'
business on hand than at any previous
period in my life, I find plenty of tim,
for social life and an occasional opportu
nifty to go a-fishing.

cannot be estimated. 1t ought, how
