Whatever debts IL has are on the sure

Of GLASGOW will, inside of so years

them the best electric lights

for any distance and furnish to all

brary.
The city affairs are managed by
business men with the same prudence
with which they would manage their
wn affairs; the question of party
politics enter into no local election
and IL seems to be the object OF the
municipality to administer the city's
finances In an economical way, to
improve the public health in its
physical and moral basis, and TO give
brightness and the possibility of hap
plness to civil life. It's success in all
these has been so marked as to COM
mand the admiration OF the ciyillzed
world and TO gain for itself the ap-
pellation Of the best governed city on
the face OF the globe.
The sinking fund is only an Incl
dental 10 the system which has made
the Glasgow city government the best
in the world. The foundation on
which 1t has been possible to build up
an honest and efficient administra-
tIon OF city affairs, has been municipal
ownership OF public monopolles, like
the light, water and street railway
plants.
So long as there are valuable fran
chlses to be given away, and fat con.
tracts, like street cleaning and sewer
furnishing light and water
to the city, etc, to be let, there will
be chance for aldermanic boodling.
So long as there is rich picking for
dishonest city officials, the dishonest
city Official will be in evidence, nine
years out OF ten. The honest man and
good citizen is no match for the
ward politician ,and so long as there Is
money TO be made by boodllng politics,
the ward politician will keep control

Cut of the chances for dishonest
profit in city Offices, and there is no
'urther inducement for the boodler to
yet himself elected to office, and the
business man has chance TO put city
Iifairs on u basis Of business integrity.

Our efforts will be chiefly devoted
to the upbuilding and development Of
