is placed at the present moment to lay down a ratepayers' poltoy in regard to the important subject of ascitation. It is so easy to criticise that the wonder is no one took the opportunity of doing 10, instead of leaving it to be done by the candidates themselves. We are noctisi tomed to the incisive, corrosive speech of the learned Queen's Coundel, who has been playing so prominent & part in the suppression of the plague, and we may expect to hear weighty dissertations- on the subject of sewers and house drainage from Mr Leigh in the noor future; therefore, it would have been re- freshing to have hadan independent state- ment of opinion from prominent residents on the subject of the hour instead of having to find expressions of public opinion only in the anonymous contrl- 2/2butions that fill the columns of the newspapers. Perhaps it was because all that can be said in the way of criticism has already been said, perhaps it was because no one had any practical ideas with which to endow the people's 2.89 representatives. It is easier to inveigh against insanitary conditions than to bring forward a curs. Emerson has well said" that the constructive talant of the average Anglo-Saxon is dwarfed and superficial Mr Francis and Mr Leigh, who are about as able men as could be induced to offer their parvices to the public, strove to fill the gap, but the ab- sence of that current of ideas which is in the highest degree so animating and nourishing to the creative power de- |prived them of the stimulus necemurý Bor successful election speeches.
