A MASTERLY REVIEW.

Tha speech of Mayor Goodeve at
the public meeting last night was a
ion of the d

of the city’ 3 affairs by the ‘outgoing
administration and was a telling ar-
gument in favor of continuing the
same admunistration to carry for-
ward the work so well begun. It
was such a speech as 2 good busi-
mess man, who is.president of a
‘company, would make at a meeting
-of the stockholders in reviewing the
business of the previous year. It
-was clear, full and to the point, sta-

he should study the attitude the
Miner has occupied on the mayor-
alty. question. until today. After
seeing how utterly incompetent Mr.
McPherson proved himself for the
office, both by his course as an al-
derman and by his speech last night,
it finally says of Mr. Goodeve:

he made out a good case why he
should receive a second term.”
But it takes all the grace out of
this grudging endorsement by pick-
ing holes in the mayor's manage-
ment of the water and light ques-
tion and of the social evil. It makes.
no attempt to answer the mayor's

tting the which ‘igghed
with the mayor and council in each
Step that they took and setting
aforth the advance made in providing
the city with those conveniences
which are essential to its welfare as
va municipality. It showed that lit-
ttle remains to be done towards the
completion of a water system ade-
quate to the domestic needs of the
people and to protection from fire;
that the city has segured a reserve
«supply which can be drawn upon
whenever the public needs call for
it; that, while it was impossible at
the time to buy the electric light
plant at a reasonable figure, an op-
tion has been-secured for its pur-
chase at sucha figure in the near
future and that the funds are avail-
able without incurring a dollar of
new debt; that the delay in provid-
ing a sewer system is due to the
government officials at Victoria and
that such progress has been made
asto ensure proper provision for
sewage disposal in the coming sea-
. Son; that street improvements have
been carried forward with due vigor
sand that the city revenue has been
so carefully managed that a iarge
jp irt of it is available for this work
without further increase of the pub-
‘ic debt; that a movement is well
ainder way for the construction of
-an electric ‘tramway extending to
-Sophie mountain; and that the crit-
ficisms on the fire, service which

for his course in regard to
water and light, which were fully
set forth in his speech, but repeats
the old, % time-worn objections
which he fully disposed of. It
climbs down on the Goodeve side
of the fence with an expression of
disgust, mingled with longing for
the other side, on which stands the
burly figure of McPherson. The
fact is that, after balancing itself
nicely on! that fence, it has been
shoved over to one side by the
weight of public opinion and the in-
vincible logic of the situation. It
has not even the gumption to pre-
tend that it came down willingly,
but must needs show itself in the
undignified position of being kicked
into the ranks where it knows the
vast majority of the citizens stand.
There is only one more pitiful fig-
ure than Mr. McPherson in this
campaign and that is the Miner.

One conclusion trom the mayor's
acccunt of his stewardship is plain
—that one year is too short a time
for any set of men to carry through
such extensive public works as tfe
‘mayor and common council now

ly made over again the water ser-
wice. They have made a good be-
ginning in providing for other pub-
lic needs—so good that they should

-cution and completion of their plans.

border for the decorations above,
which represent the Dominion jand
Provincial coats of arms,‘ with: those
of the United States, interspersed.
The maple leaf is algova feature of
the decorations, But. what most
appeals to one’s admiration are the
massive mahogany. fixtures. There
is a double.bar the back of which.
consists of three arches supported
by massive magogany columns.
Handsome cut glass adorns the bar
and everything is in keéping with
the rich fixtures.

This morning, before the hour of-
opening, ladies were admitted to
