The Civie Election.

Tus first step towards the civic election

was taken to-day Citizens will now |

able tu discuss ‘the situation” intelligently;

for they now know the result of the oper ations of the past year, and they now know who the candidates are from whom they must make a selection.

The information —conveyed by the civic report

in favor of the City in the year's trans- |

actions, must be satisfactory to all. Re

membering the financing of a few years

back.--remembering the mixture and

muddie presented to view at the end of |

each year, in which the only fact made per.

fectly clear was the fact of a large over-

draft at the Bank, we have cause to intel-

be

- ° ? thankful for the comprehensive and

ligible statement which shows that, after!

paying off an old debt of $1,300, there is

stilia cash balance at the Bank to the} credit of the Corporation. Interest will, no doubt, centre 10 the |

electioa for Ward Three, not so much from

}

from the fact that C suuncillor Crabbe is to

Taylor, as from

be opposed by Mr. T. Z.

the fact that invulved in the result is the |

question whether the finances of the City shall be managed by Councillor Crabbe or Councillor Morris! lé Mr. Crabbe be 1e- jected, Mr. Morris will, of course, obtain

ar

that there is a substantial balance

Orrawa, Jan. 15. Mr. McGee, Clerk of the Privy Council, left to-day for Halifax to swear in Chief Justice Macdonald as Administrator.

On a recommendation from Hon. Mr. Tupper, Minister of Marine, the Govern- ment has decided to award $200 to Daniel Hunt, of Halifax, in recognition of his humane and brave conduct in rescuing life. Che Bank Ville Marie, of Hull, was robbed to-day of about $6,000.

Mr. Keefer, Civil Engineer, of Ottawa, has gone to New Yorkin connection with Chiguecto Ship Railway business.

There is no truth in the rumor that the Jesuit Estates Bill has been disallowed. It has not yet been before the Council for consideration.

Salisbury Attacked.

Lonpon, Jan. 15. The Daily News, commenting on yester- day’s debate in the teichstag, says: ‘*We hope this debate will open the people's eyes in England to the part Salisbury is really playing. It becomes too painfully evident that he is a mere creature and cat’s-paw of Bismarck. The German Liberals, to whom the thanks of both England and Germany are due for manly, outspoken criticism, drew from the Chancellor the frank avowal that the pretence of suppressing slavery is a mere device for leading Salisbury into a trap. It is time the country speke its mind wich regard to Salisbury’s muddling.”

Laurier’s Confidential Cireular. Orrawa, Jan. 15. ‘The greatest excitement prevails in Grit circles over the disclosure to-night that Hon. Mr. Laurier has sent a confidential eircular to each of his supporters in Par- liament, informing them that owing to the growing tendency towards Annexation aroused by the discussion of Unrestricted Reciprocity, be has decided to abandon the advocacy of the Jatterand during the ap- proaching election will revert to the anti- protectionist policy which the party ad-
