CANADA A NATION.
CANADA A NATION. At the annual banquet at Toronto on Tuesday night of the Osgoode Legal and Literary Society, Sir W. Laurier, the Premier, in responding to the toast of Canada. find the Empire," sa.id Not the least important among the changes of the century which has (ist closed has been the revolution in the relations between Great Britain and her colonies. The resuit of the present system has been to lead us to thoughts of closer union than ever before. Canada, while still a colony, is practicaliy an independent nation. While no one supposes that the present relations with Great. Britain are to last, they are satisfactory at the present day. When, in the course; of the future, new problems should arise we should face them and solve them on the strictest lines of Cana- dian nationality and British citizenship."

"w, BANGOR. CITY COUNCIL. THE PROPOSED NEW COLLEGE SITE. The Mayor presided over the ordinary meet ing of the Bangor City Council, on Wednesday. Having wished the members a happy and pros- perous new year, the Mayor meved a vote of condolence with Mr. Afdertnan Cameron on the death of his son. This was unanimously agreed to. It was resolvei to offer substantial rewards with a view to sappressing the grow ing custom of stonethrowing and breaking street lamps. It was also resolved to take steps for the insurance of the Corporation workmen under the Workmen's Compensation Act. Alderman Savage reported that the Railway Company were now proceeding to improve the approaches to the railway station, which were not worthy of the town. The death rate for the pant month was 20 8 per thousand, and the birth rate 30 48 per thou sand. A long discussion arose on the presentation of the special report of the Bishop's Park Com- mittee, which recommended an application to the Local Government Board for permiss on to borrow £ 2C,000 to purchase the Bishop's Park Estate for the purpose of (1) laying out and constructing new main roads and sewers through the park, (2) giving a portion not ex ceeding six acres to the University College, (3) adapting the palace for Council chamber, com- mittee room, municipal offices, and other Cor poration purposes. The Mayor, in moving the adoption of the report, said that the present scheme represented the irreducible minimum of the proposals. The University College had accepted the offer, and proposed purchasing the Penyrallt estate from Lord Penrhyn, thus provining an exeeMent suitable site worthy of the institution. This was one of the most important achievements ever reported to the Council, and would redound to their credit for generations to come (app'ause). Councillor Bayne formally seconded. Councillor Jones Roberts objected to com pelling the ratepayers to contribute f.7,000 towards the College, and thought they might be asked to subscribe the necessary amount for the land purchase voiuat my. He moved fto delete the portion of the minutes referring to the College. The Mayor ruled the amendment out of order. Ultimately Mr. Jones Roberts moved that the matter be referred back to the Committee, and gave notice to move to rescind the previous resolve to grant the land free to the College. The burden of rates was so heavy that build- ing operations were suspended at Bangor. Councillor Owen seconded the amendment. Alderman Thomas Lewis thought the Coun. cil should not play fast and loose with the Col. lege. Having offered the land, and the ofter having been accepted, they could not now with. draw the offer. Councillor D. Williams said the whole scheme of purchasing the Bishop's Park turned upon the proposal to acquire land for the pur- poses of the College. Other members continued the discussion, all being in favour of granting the land tree. The Mayor, in replying, gave details showing how the town already benefited by the presence of the College. The present proposal amounted to an annual grant of f240 to the College, but the College staff already contributed £ 340 a year to the rates. Although the purchase of the park might not be directly remunerative it afforded an opportunity for beautifying and enhancing the attractions of the town, and the buildings which would be erected by the College authorities would be a credit not only to Bangor but to the whole of North Wales. The amendment was withdrawn, and the resolution unanimously adopted. Another long discussion arose on the recom mendation of the Finance Committee that all orders tor goods in the various departments should pass through, and be filed at the borough accountant's office. In the course of the dis- cussion allegations were made against certain officials. Ultimately this part was referred back to the Committee for redrafting, with an Iintimationj that the charges advanced at the meeting would be fully investigated, j
LORD CURZON AND THE WAR.
LORD CURZON AND THE WAR. EULOGY OF THE MARQUIS OF LANSDOWNE. The ceremony of unveiling the statue erected in honour of the Marquis of Lansdowne on the Maidan at Calcutta was performed on Monday, in brilliant weather, before a large gathering of spectators, a large number of troops being paraded. The Viceroy, in an eloquent speech, said Little did I suspect, little did either the Marquis of Lagsdowne or Earl Roberts dream, when thev left the shores of India, that within a few years' time they would be conducting (one a.3 War IVIinister, and the other as Field-Marshal) the first Empire war of Great Britain. In this novel field I doubt not that their old co-eperation stood them and the country in good stead. The Commander-in-Chief, while pro- secuting his arduous task, felt he could rely upon the sagacious forethenght, the administrative energy, and the local championship of the Minister in Pall Mall, who was confident, from long experi- ence, of the genius and resourcefulness of the veteran commander. The eyes of contem- poraries are apt to be fascinated by the glare of the battlefield, and the sound that vibrates in all our ears is the music of victory; but when the shouting has died down, and the dusts of controversy are laid, I snspect it will be found that with the conscientious, purposeful tenacity that never wavered, and the dignity that stooped Eeither to self-exculpa- I tion or reproach, the War Minister pursued his thankless path, and laid the foundation of those victories which our brave soldiers were destined to 1 win.

"01" ELECTRIC TRACTION ON THE UNDERGROUND LINE. A special meeting of the Metropolitan District Railway Company was held on Monday at Westmin- ster to consider the raising of an additional capital of £ 500,000 and the creation and issue of £ 166,000 of debenture stock, authorised by the Company's Acts of 1897 and 1900. Mr. J. S. Forbes presided, and said the position of their undertaking had become desperate owinp to causes over which neitlief- the directors nor the proprietors had any control- the omnibus competition and the development of electric traction on the Central London Railway. It had now been proved that their line could be adapted to electric traction at a very moderate cost, and in a very short time, and the capital asked for would enable the directors to get the work done within the amount of the vote. After some discus- sion, resolutions for the raising ot the capital above- mentioned were carried unanimously.

POISONED BEER.
POISONED BEER. No from peripheral neuritis were reported on Monday in the Manchester district, but there was a considerable increase in freth cases dealt with at the local hospitals and infirmaries. General interest has been awakened by the action of the sanitary authorities of the Manchester Corporation in institut- ing proceedings under the Food and Drugs Acta against certain retailers of beer in the city. The first batch of summonses, 12 in number, and con- cerning both publicans and holders of off-licenses, came on for hearing on the 8th inst., at the City Police-court. A report was published on Monday that Messrs. Bostock and Co., the glucose manufacturers, were bringing an action fcr £ 100,000 damages against a large and well-known firm of manufacturing chemists. It was subsequently ascertained on inquiry that an action was pending, but that the amount of the claim has not been fixed. A PROSECUTION.—DECISION RESERVED. The first of the cases against Manchester retailers for selling beer containing arsenic was heard at the local Polica-court on Tuesday, the defendant being Elizabeth Goulding. Tba prosecution was insti- tuted by the City Corporation under the Food and Drugs Act, and the evidence showed that the beer sold by Mrs. Goulding was found on analysis to contain one-eighth of a grain of arsenious acid to the gallon, a quantity sufficient to be very injurious to the consumer. For the defence it was pointed out that prior to November last, no one had ever dreamt of looking for arsenical poison in beer, and that the defendant was perfectly innocent in the matter, she assuming that the beer was pure. The stipendiary magistrate, in view of the gravity of the case, reserved his decision, and a number of other summonses were adjourned for a fortnight.
'!::&:V--OCCASIONAL NOTES.I
'&:V- OCCASIONAL NOTES. I There is 80 doubt now that the 20th century has commenced. Twelvemonths ago controversy ran high, as to whether last year was not the first year of the new cen- tury. Since then, most sensible persons have come to the conclusion that a hundred years are necessary to make a century, and therefore nineteen hundred years are re- quired to make nineteen centuries. -:0:- But still, controversial quid nuncs must have their little arguments. The question now seems to be how human nature should behave in the 20th century. Some people oven go so far as to say, that a new religion must be formed before the world will be- come what it should be. But the majority agree that the Christian religion is ample, if only properly applied. Unfortunately, religion has become a matter of routine with far too many of us Nigh on two thousand years ago, the glad tidings peace un earth, good will towards men,' were pro- claimed. But at the present moment peace on earth and good will between men seems to be simply a theory. Time was when patriotism was taken to mean love of one's c >untry. To day it appears to mean love of other people's country, and as a conse- quence, all the nations of the civilised world are at-well, armed peace. -:0:- Matters at home do not appear to be on a very much more satisfactory footing. The I race for wealth has attained such a, pace, that all weaklings go to the wall. It is a case of survival of the fittest with a ven- I geance. A capital phrase for the mighty, is that same survival of the fittest.' How many of the stalwarts in our churches have the courage to throw aside modern ethics and commercial morality' (save the mark), and commence the new century on the lines laid down on the sermon on the mount? Nay, how many ministers of religion would undertake a missionary journey on the no scrip principle, commended by the Master to the lowly fishermen of Gahlee. No, we want no new religion, but a proper and thorough searching of our hearts, and a better application of the faith bequeathed to us by our forefathers. But enough of this, lest I be set down as a century croker. -:0:- How great a virtue is jingoism, and what dreadful crime is poverty! Another in- stance of this was given at the Rhyl police court on Tuesday. Two unfortunate fellows, for the heinous offence of sleeping in a brickfield shed, were sent to prison—one for 14 days, and the other for 21 days. Another culprit with a long list of convictions against his name, and who has been a ter- ror to his neighbours, and a source of no end of trouble to the police, was let off on payment of the substantial and crime-sup- pressing sum of two shillings and sixpence sterling. But then he intimated to the bench that he was a bold militia man, under orders for a course of riding at Alder- shot, for the purpose of proceeding to South Africa. It was that that weighed with the administrators: of justice in Rhyl; and verily justice is blind-in more sense than one. -'0'- The Rhyl. District Council have had a similar experience with Jack Frost, as the British army have with De Wet iu South Africa. With an eye to the main chance, the Council decided at a special meeting on Wednesday to flood the Marine Lake (which had been emptied for repairs), for the pur pose of its being frozen for skating. The chairman ventured an opinion that the frost had come to stay for some time and in- structions were given to the surveyor and water engineer to attend to the filling of the lake; but during the night, the frost, like the 'slim.' Boer leader, bad disappeared. THE MAN IN THE STREET.

BOARD OF GUARDIANS.
Guardians was being spent in public houses. This was a serious matter and it was com- plained that this was the most difficult class to keep in order. It was 'known to them I that one had been recently convicted of drunkenness. It was their endeavour to re- move this state of things and he was glad to move the resolution at the first meeting of the Board in the 20th Century. Miss Parry seconded. Mr. Daniel Roberts felt that there was no doubt but that the Justices were doing their work. Mr L. J. Davies said the resolution was suitable enough, but to his mind it did not contain what was needed. The resolution called for puiling down, and no mention was made of building. For those who where coming to Bala on Saturday the conven- iences made were very poor for all that Temperance people did. With the excep- tion of the Church House there was no place a man could go to sit for an hour or half an hour. The Temperance people should be stirred to do something It was one of the cheapest things to propose a thing like this but something should be done that wou!d cost some sacrifice. He certainly believed and he had spoken to that efiect at the Merionethshire Temperance Association That conveniences should be provided in the town. Mrs. Parry called attention to the recent Reading Room in Bala, and that the institu- tion had been very poorly supported by the country people. The Chairman supported this statement. Though four rooms were to be had at the old Barracks for about 4 years, he did not think that a dozen of the country people had been there, Mr. L. J. Davies said he knew of one who went there, and of two who subscribed towards the funds. His complaint was that the Temperance people were not working in this matter. Sacrifice must be made as is done in the case of the Church House. As long as places were not being provided by the Temperance people of Bala for visitors, where would the shepherd and the cattle dealer go to transact business but to the public houses ? Mrs. Price believed that there were many ways of reaching the object in view. To people of good character proper provision should be made in the towns. It would be a good thing to close all drinking houses having a bad character, but she did not be I lieve in going against houses that had no complaints against them. Mr. R. Davies failed to see that it would -do any harm to pass the resolution. The Guardians knew that the people who bad spent their money in disipation were those who became a burden to the ratepayers. As to the conveniences Mr. Davies said he was sure there was no town so badly off in this respect as Bala. They had planted trees along the street if they had provided proper places for people it would have been better. He supported the resolution. Mr. R. Jones believed the Justices were doing there duty and the resolution ap- peared as if they neglected their work. Miss Parry observed that the resolution did not signify that, but rather that it sup- ported the Justices. Mr. Daniel Roberts said that three busi- ness people were recently in a Temperance house in Bala getting dinner. They asked for a private room to transact some business. The reply they received was that there was plenty of room at the station. Mr. R. Jones supported this. Mr. R. Hughes considered that the resolu- tion was directed against the drinking houses. They acknowledged that the Jus- tices were working well. What was wanted was to do away with the pothouses. Mr. L. J. Davies, referring to the remark made by Mr. Robert Davies that dissipation was the cause of poverty, said that as to Llanuwchllyn, out of the 13 on the relief list, there were only one or two to whom this could be attributed. It was not fair to make remarks of that kind. The Chairman observed that the majority of paupers were brought to that condition by the above cause. Mr. Davies was of the same opinion as regards pauperism of the country as a whole. The Clerk called attention to the charge made that the paupers who were receiving relief took their money to the public houses. If this was true it would reflect very un- favourably on the Guardians. Mr. Wm. Richards answered that com- plaint was made that some who received relief took their money to the public houses, and drunk to intoxication. He mentioned two cases that had been brought before their notice. < The Clerk said this was an explanation on the remarks made previously by Mr. Richards. There were black sheep in every flock. The resolution was then put to the meet- ing, nine voting in favour of it. The reso- lution was declared carried.
