that they have sacred duty to perform in
the proper observance of Memorial day;
they feel 1t incumbent upon them to kindly

what the day was appointed and what the

apparently unmindful that the occasion is
set apart to revive memories of comrades
who once marched by our side, but who
now sleep in death. Six-and-twenty times

There Was lively time at the meet
ing OF the city council of Toronto the
other night, when the subject OF Sun
day street cars cana up. The fight was
on the question Of whether the council
should settle the matter, or whether il
should be left to popular vote.
Petitions sig ied by several thousand,
were read both for and against letting
the people decide. Several delegates
frcm the ministerial association were
present. and were given . hearing.
They all argued in favor of the decis-
ION OF the matter by the council.
Bishop Campbell made an especially
strong plea, and said that the church
attendance of the city was ~ great,
according to the population, as it was
ten years ago, which statement could
not be made of any other city,
and that the fact was largely
due 10 the absence OF Sunday cars.
Alter the clergy had spoken, ami
mated discussions were heard from the
other side, and finally resolution was
passed giving the people the oppor.
tunity to decide the matter for them
selves on January 4. the ballot to be in
this form: "Are You in favor OF street
railway cars being run in this city on
Sunday: Yea or Nay? The votes IN
favor of the resolution were greeted
with tumuiiuous cheers from the
spectators, followed by groans when the
Maya stood up.

GLovERsvrLLE, n. Y, Dec. 24.-For
more than ten years there has been q

The organization of company t.
