" MUNICIPAL REFORM"

There is great deal said and written
about municipal reform" now, and it
provokes the query: What is it, and why
is it?
People who sin, and decide to sin no
more, are fond of some excuse that will
save their dignity. They want a scape-
goat.
1t is about that way with the municipal
reformers. II there is any need for re-
form, it is because the citizens who now
clamor for it have not attended TO their
business.
Ii is as easy TO run city as to run a
peanut stand, IL everybody interested
attends TO business.
Not cent OF unjust taxation can no
imposed, not cent stolen from the
treasury, not "job" put through. not
a scandal OF any kind perpetratcd, IL the
people who are interested attend TO their
business.

despised their privileges.

offence TO perpetrate an outrageous ',job, 4"

A majority of tho judges OF the Common

the judges Of the court shall wear blacIS

There are scores OF books coming out
relating to some phase of what is called
municipal reform, and they all discuss the
topic as though STANLEY as a discoverer
was not to be mentioned in the same day
with them.
The fact is, there is but one sort OF re-
form that will make life in our cities
more endurable and more economical-and
that is citizenship reform.
II the well-intentioned citizens are not
willing to exercise that eternal vigilance,
which is the price not only OF liberty, but
also OF good city government, they have
no right to expect that they will get good
city government.
The time has not arrived when man
can lie fiat on his back with his mouth
closed and have peaches fall into it;
neither can he have the peach of good
city government, simply by jarring the
rose-tree of municipal reform.
The toiling of good citizens in the
vineyard OF good citizenship can alone be
depended upon to nurture the growth and
guarantee the fruitfulness of that rare
plant, good municipal government.
We do not need books, nor magazine
articles, nor pamphlets, nor speeches, nor
theories, nor any sort OF effort, except
and only the homely, dull, old-fashioned
tramp to the caucus, and to the polls,
twice year, or as often as it is necessary.
All the excited chatter about "muni-
cipal reform" amounts to nothing what
ever, II 1t does not prompt citizens to
look out for their own interests. That is
the only reform needed-the only reform
that will reform.

SEPARATE SCHOOLS.

The refusal of Manitoba to comply with
the order of the Dominion Government to
restore the separate Catholic schools that
were abolished five years ago may result
in trouble for the Manitobans, but It is es-
sentially proper and right.
1t is not that it is, in this case, Catho-
lies who want separate school system.
The principal of denominational schools
is altogether wrong. There is no reason
in the arguments employed to defend
them, and the fact that they are always
inefficient is proof positive that they are
not in accord with the modern ideas OF
educational methods.
There has been very great progress I'm
public-school methods made during the
past few years, and there are reforms
now immanent that are likely to prove
even more revolutionary. To effect
them, and to push the general matter of
education as it requires to be pushed
needs the intimate and hearty co-opera-
ton OF all the people and every cent OF
taxation they can endure. To divide
forces would be ruinous.
Manitoban authorities base their replv
to the Dominion order upon these
grounds, and upon the declaration that
the Catholic schools, when they existed.
had not been as efficient as the general
public schools. They say:
IL Will be obvious that the establishment of
a set of Roman Catholic schools followed by n
set of Anglican schools, and possibly Monnon.

pany on business connected with the de-

port about o'clock.
The little craft shot through the water

UNION AND NON-UNION PLUMBERS

That is an interesting case that the
judges Of our Supreme Court now have
under advisement by which a firm of
plumbers brings a bill in equity for n
permanent injunction to restrain the
mem;~rs OF the National Master Plumb
ers' Association, residing in Rhode
Island, from interfering with the COM
plainants in the purchase of plumbing
supplies.
1t appears from the brief Of the
complainants, represented by EDWARD
l.. CANNON, Esq, that the Plumbers
Union--that is, the organization of
master plumbers-has entered into
compact with the dealers in plumbing
supplies whereby the former secure con-
cessions in the purchase of supplies, or
even control the selling of supplies, SO
that plumbers outside the union cannot
buy at all, SO that plumbers not affili-
ated with the uniVn are unable to OBJ
tain supplies, and are thus unable to
compete with union plumbers, or do
business at all. The brief sets forth
that any supply dealer who sells to a
non-union plumber shall lose the trade
OF all the union plumbers.
Complainants call this a conspiracy
that aims to compel them to join the
union or freeze them out of business.
Whether any such compact can be en-
tered into as legal business arrange
ment in the State of Rhode Island is |
what the Court Is asked to decide.
An interesting feature of the case is
that it Is our old labor friend, Lawyer
CANNON, who is enlisted in behalf of the
non-union whom, we have no
doubt, the union plum bers regard in the
light of "scabs."

the inauguration of such state OF affairs
with very grave apprehension. wo have no

PEOPLE dilate on the pleasures of the
imagination y; Wen venture to say that
there have been 10000 graduating es-
says rehearsed and read on that popular
subject. But have people found out yet
that the imagination can actually keep
one cool! Yes, cool even this kind of
weather. We are very intimately ac-
quainted with the person who tried it
and "a, fortunately for the world, he
hasn't patented his proceedings, we are
able to benefit mankind by divulging
them.
The process is very simple. From the
public library, or from neighbors
shelves, one borrows a volume of polar
travel-KANE's Arctic Boat Journey"
or Mrs. PEARY's Journal. L, makes no
difference as 10 the date of the explora-
lion described, the temperature en-
countered by the explorers is the point.
just turn TO some interesting chapter
containing pen picture Of the snow hut
and the frozen meat, garnished with
lcicles, the mercury crawling into
the bottom Of the bulb, and the
wind from the Pole toying with your
frosted fur suit. Read on for several
pages; one begins to shiver in sympathy
and experience a lurking desire for
hre. Aud 1t is not until suddenly
brought to by some outside agency that
one discovers ones frigid comfort to be
a mere fgment OF fancy.
