Without harmony, as far as regards re-gards advancement and improvement, improve-ment, our fair city will sudor greatly. great-ly. In relation to politics, we do not expect or want harmony in thought or action. All men will choose between Democracy and Republicanism, Re-publicanism, as they think proper and best for their individual relief. Could the "kickers" against water works be brought into harmony with the City Council, great advantages advan-tages would be gained.

We do know a number of their most active members, mem-bers, but are not proud of our acquaintance ac-quaintance with some of them. It is to be hoped that they (the "safety" society leaders) will sit in the background it will make a "dark" background when anything appertaining to improvement be entered upon in the future. It they would come forward and trot along with the City Council, we would laugh not at the funny sight but with joy. The Dwakf. BONDING AND IMPROVEMENT.
