princix>lo of popular representation, as well as .against the interests of the town, that candidates
sliould be selected by clubs.' Besides, i f can scarcely bo as gratifying to .a member to know that ho is elected by a committee .ns to know that tlic votes of his fellow-townsmen h.nvc given him the light to represent them in llie manage ment of municipal affairs. Putting a wide intcriirotation on tlic word’
“ quarrel,” one may fairly say that the rival parties have so far carried out the injunction Suakesi’EAUE puts into the'mouth of Polonius :
...............................................Beware Of entrance to a quarrel; .but, being in, Bcar’t tliat the opposed may beware of thee.
Although each side is showing a spirited
determination to leave nothing undone which would assist in securing the desired object, yet there is at the same time a most generous and friendly spirit shown to opponents. Tho old- fashioned system of making tho utmost capital
out of tlie real or fancied shortcomings of the opposing
p.arty, has'almost disappeared, and the candidates seem dctcrmiiv::d to win on tlicir own
merits or not at all. A further gratifying sign to be found in the ‘
- “ The Education of Man,
generally expressed abhorrence of . anything ap proaching an offence against the Corrupt Prac tices Act. Eacli party express themselves deter mined to “ touch not the unclean thing” And,. moreover, nn influential' body have added the weight of their efforts b y , giving notice of n reward of £5 for information of any such instances of bribery. Apart from the moral aspect of the question looked at from the publican’s jiointof view, that individual runs the risk of losing his licence and being heavily fined if convicted of permitting the objectionable practice on his premises. ^Vc suppose it will be of no use to ap- X>cnl directly to those free and enlightened citi zens who insist upon their riglit of selling their birthright for one year for a mess of free ale, because, if thcro is a candidate who is willing to keep ux> the time honoured custom, these citizens will most assuredly be ready to assist him to do so •

“ Miuacle Plays. ’’—The niemhors of tho Moor Lane M.I.S., spent an exceedingly
plc.asant time
on Wednesday.evening, wlieu an essay on Miracle Plays was delivered by G. J. Holme, Esq. The essay dealt with the origin and history of religious plays, and led up to an account of a visit paid to Obor Ammergau, and a description of tho Passion Play of last year. ^Ir. Holme had seen what he was describing, and treated liis subject in a master ly fashion, showing an o.xtcnsivc knowledge, not only of his immediate subject, but also of the various details connected with it. At the conclu sion of tho paper, one or two questions were asked, and jMr. J. E. Hargreaves i>roposed a vote of thanks to Iffr. Holme. This was supported by tlie Rev. B. J. Shaw and others, and carried enthusi astically.—By the courtesy of Mr. Holme we are enabled to reproduce the lecture ; The first part
of it will appear next week. Baptist tM.J.S.—A mutual improvement class

During-thc time I have acted as one of your re-
lircsentativos 1 have striven to perform what I considered my duty irrespective of citlicr frowms or favours, and if returned again my course of action will be dictated by exactly the same motives. In asking for your confidence, iierhaps I may
mention with x^ardonablc iiriile, that tho Tcclmioal Instruction Act was adopted on my resolution, .md t lia t l have devoted my best energies in Iiciping to make the classes tho great success they are to-day —a success which reflects the liighost credit on the town at large.

advocating Technical Education, whicli is nothing less than equipping the rising-generation to battle successfully in the commercial struggle which will become keener and keener every year, I am not in favour of burdening the rates to smiport il, except to a slight e.xtont, and therefore think that at present a cautious x>olicy is tho best to xmr&uc. -
