Our third point is this, and we hope the public will take note of it. A little healthy publicity is a very good thing la the social and moral world. It is the equivalent of ventilation in the physical world, and of light. A little more publicity in the man- agement of the affairs of the public depart- ments would be a very good thing. If the Executive were compelled to carry on their work in the open air, and publish their despatches and memoranda, there would be no need for any reformation or altera

tion of the Government. All the little tricks of office we hear of daily, all the little meannesses of official life, would vanish. Don't be severe, therefore, in your judgment of those honest Scots who have caused a little light to be thrown on the working ofthe Fire Brigade and the Police: If it concerned any one else than MR. MAY we should expect very shortly to hear that for some reason or other MCAULEY had been found quite unfit for thepolice and had
