THE Canadian ministers returned
from Washington ridicule the idea of
rivalry between President Harrison
and Secretary Blaine, and deny that
they were coldly received. They ex-
press themselves as perfectly salts
fed with their reception, and with
the reasons for the postponement of
the conference. These declarations
dispose of good deal of democratic
deadwood.

full" pedestrians always find the Con-
gregational walks nice and clean. If
other churches would exercise a little
of this enterprise the public would APP
preciate it. With such a fall of snow
as we now have the city should set to
work and clean off the cross walks and
see to it that the main thoroughfares
are cleared. A few quite prominent
citizens seem entirely careless to the
condition of their walks.

Whatever site is chosen for the
public building, the act provides that

until there is good sleighing Many
cisterns have run dry and the snow
will come at an opportune time for
those who must melt it.

location. Every man looks at the mat

interests. 1t begins to look as though
the contest might finally settle down
to the corner of Second and Jackson
