profit, than fulflment OF their duties. That this is
the case is owing to the fact that Offices the
wards of partizan political abors and that men hold

ing party schemes, and schemes more for the pro-
fits of individuals and cliques than for public good

is substituted This holds good in National, Safe
and City Governments. When party reach the

an example before our eyes, under our noses and
feet may be adduced The example Is street clean
ing. From the lime of the Revolution when
George ii. in the Bowling Green, was converted


into musiIet balls, the streets have been annoyingly

Since the substitution OF the rocky mountain, and
the lake watered and supplied with the CroOn NV
er the rocks are free from dust the lake clear and
brilliant as crystal, the grass green and bright. a
clean carpet for the lady deer, and the water fowl,
but thus it is not with life without the IRON pale.

has ambition TO keep clean streets, and TO use the
peoples money freely for such purpose The
rain has done more this month 10 affect the state OF
the streets than human exerJlon 5.
