Before the ordiBance went into efl'ect it was no uncommon sight to see crowds of youngsters assembled in groups on the street corners and in front of the stores until a late hour at night. Now there is a ehange for the better, at least after the Tvhistle is sounded at 9 o'clock. Tf anv ehange was to be made in the ordinance at all, it should be to make the hour 8. instead of 9 p. m., during the winter season." The free mlverites profess to except a miracle.

But after the business of the naticm has been very ill - verj' ill indeed - the oppoeents of the republican party proiess to wonder why the patiënt doesn't recover at once- get up off its sick b&d and gambol and play, even before any medicine has been adminietered. The anext oongress, who is the doctor in ■fthis case, will m)e)et in a few weeks mw. ajid prescribe for the business Kis that beset us, arnd after the medieSne has had time to effect the patiënt then we miay lo.k for recovery, and oot nnti! then. In the meantime the people will have to nurse the gick one alb-ng as beet they can.
