The City Council has the habit of locking the stable door after the horse out,” and doubtless Mayor Newton will endeavor to carry out this rule again tonight as he did last Monday, when he asked that an expert be called in to look over‘and report o nthe sewerage scheme which the rate payers so decisively turned down. Not content with the harsh criticism that the pro- posal received last meeting night, he said that he would lay the matter over, which means, no doubt, that it will be up for consideration again to- night.

FROM A TORY JOURNAL Here for Hon. Robert Rogers et al respecting the re- grettable incidents in the Mac- donald election. It is from the is one editorial notes of that staid old Tory journal, the Montreal Gazette, which says: “A meeting at Winnipeg has pro- tested by resolution against the arrest and detention of four men on the’ eve of the polling in Macdonald on char- ges that they were engaged in illegal work on behalf of the opposition candidate. Mr. Wil- liam Sifton has also entered suit against the officials re- sponsible for his detention, claiming damages of $10,000, This latter action looks as if one of the accused has faith in his cause, and actually thinks he did not deserve the exper- ience to which he was subjeet- ed. The talkers might shut up till the trial is held. They are not impressive.’ — Victoria Times. ‘
