Ácting fcjeoretury of State. A government exists simply and gololy to do what tbo private ciliznn cinnot do. Any ad litipn to its dutiea b-yond this is au ab.sol.ute perversión of the principies on whieh it rosta. IUit a groat many people tbink a governniont exista to do everything and anything whioh fiuybody wants to bo doiie and whiohi nobody is to dohimselï The fallacy lies in sujipo.-.ing. bfioause rapid tntnsit is vitaliy necosBary tothe welfare of this city, that therefore the goveruinent ought to provide it. It is the old Jesuitieal maxiru applied to every-day affai'ra, namely,, that H' is nght to obtain a goo'd object by bad means. - JS'cie York Poot.
