SCH lhSh ptouuCIiOn ana progress
cease. and waste, extravaganza
and spoilS begin.
When men disdaining regular
occupations and lounging in
prominent places watch the cur
rents for something to turn up,
as sailors watch the sea and the
sky, work for the common good
begins to lag.
There was a time when govern.
ment was revered for the good II
did FORTS subjects, when individu-
ais contributed to the govern
ment, and when it was above
men and not subservient to them.
There is getting to be, however,
complete mania for exercising
dominion over somebody else
for getting top" Communities
are being chopped up into socie-
ties or organizations and all OF
them are used by climbers. Each
has some ostensible purpose,
moral, religious and humanitar-
ian, but take the personal mo-
tives and designs out of any one
of them and substitute duty for
design and it would be deserted
quicker than rats desert a sink
ing ship. So to be successful or
interesting it must be an associ-
alton in which some can exercise
dominion over others. This ap-
plies to all societies except those
under the auspices and control
of ladies.
Take a large corporation and
it is composed of a series of stages
of imperiousness. The president
rebukeS the treasurer, the treas.
urer assails the secretary, the sec,
rotary abuses the manager, the
manager cuffs the janitor and the
janitor goes and kicks the dog
All are satisfied, however, if each
is in line and has his turn. Some
of these lines are observable BY
all the people all the time, Others
are only seen by some of the PEG
pie and are more or less exposed
to view according to the oscilla
tions of public sentiment and thu
agreement or disagreement OF th'
actors in the scenes.
These conditions have breC
such d spirit of adventure as tx
bring common occupations into
contempt and to breed a spirit o
adventure that is absolutely peri
lous. The whole country is il
danger of going off into a sea O
troubles, of throwing away it
; original purposes, reversing it
traditions, disregarding the eau
lions of its founders and leavin,
their solid, sensible designs to g
off on a wild adventurous tan
, gent, compared with which tn
expedition of Richard, Occur d
Lion, or that of the most fanat
cal Crusader was wisdom itself.
Never was a conservative ser
timent more in demand tina
; now. Whether or not the IT
public is in danger depends niue
on the course pursued byits leac
ing men. If wise, dignifed, cor
sentative positions are taken b
them then the people will settl
down into contented and sal
condition; but if the leaders SEE
ing large opportunities for pei
; sonal promotion and politicf
adventures, instead of attempt
ing to ally excitement and til
ardor of hopes that can never b
realized, watch for and encourae
currents of sentiment that ma
be turned to personal advantage
then the first departure of tn
people from their original pu1
poses and high destiny will b
= made. If the people can be le

oppressive sense of honor ove1

There was some discussion of pave
ments in which Mr.. Crump said that
owing to the death of his father they
could not do anything with their pave
ments at present and requested time
to repair the same, as had been
granted to other people.
Mayor said that the Street COM
mittee had been using good judgment
in that respect and thought they would
continue to do so.
d. d. Price made the point that the
people ON Loo street wanted more light,
but if the pavements were laid they
would not need any more He
said that the trouble was caused by
some people not laying their pave
ments. Others were holding back,
claiming it to be of no use for them to
lay pavements if those ahead of them
did not comply with the Ordinance.
Bills to the amount of So ,976.24 were
read and ordered paid, divided as

His Occasion,

The JOURNAL has all along been
fully aware of the part taken by Capt.
T. F. McCardell in the Normal School
matter, but the only word from him
concerning proper and adequate ac-
acknowledgement was one of modest but
apparently firm depreciation.
The suggestion of giving Mr.. Gould
rousing hurrah grew out of the an
nouncement that he would speak here.
He was stranger about to become an
acquaintance. While yet a stranger
he had proven himself a friend. He
had probably done for us what no
other man who had never lived in the
county would have done-reported our
measure favorably, in itself tremend-
Gus impetus for the expedient which
followed. Had he loaded tdown with
an unfavorable report it is to be doubt
ed whether anybody would have had
the heart to revive 1t in tue general
bill. Hence, as before said, Mr.. Gould,
stranger who had befriended us, was
coming here, and the JOURNAL thought
that it would be as little as his audience
could do to give him, when introduced,
rousing welcome. This, of course,
without discrimination against any
other worker for the Normal School.
1t wasn't any other workers occasion.
The JOURNAL sincerely hopes the
time will come when Capt. McCardell's
effort will be fully and handsomely
acknowledged, and especially that it
will be extended under more consider
ate auspices than the luckless Mr..
Gould encountered.

there are now outstanding about $50
OOO, 900 of the loans for cattle and other
markets showing how widespread
the system has become.
THE GLASGOW MARKET,
'Tn acentral and convenient local
fly the authorities have a tract of
tW enty acres or more occupied with a
great rooted live stock market, having
accommodations for many thousands
of animals. Adjoining on one side is
separate marketfOr dressed beef, ETC.,
and on the other side extensive
slaughter houses. All the trading in
live animals in Glasgow, i e, in native
British animals, is done in this cattle
market, and from 100000 to 500, 600
cattle, sheep, etc, pass through it an
nually.
In addition to these there is at the
docks an extensive establishment ex-
clusively for the reception and slaugh-
ter of beeveS from the United States;
provision existing for the treatment
of two thousand at a time. The an
nual importation of these cattle is
about 40, 900 head all of which must be
slaughtered at the docks as a precau-
ton against contagious disease. For
Canadian cattle, a similar number OF
which are imported, there is ample
provision made by the city authori-
ties on the opposite side OF the harbor
Tie city has market property valued
at about 81 100000 not including the
cattle yards and abattoirs; and the in
debtedness of the market account is
perhaps 100000. The income of the
market trust from rentals, slaughter
house booths, ETC., is 100000 per an
