After the paragraph about the condition of King street was written, an indignant gentleman of mature years but most vigorous voice entered the editorial rooms of this chaste political journal and poured into the ear of the city editor the following tirade: "The condition of Beretania street is shameful, sir, simply shameful! I wanted to go out in an express yesterday and the driver said 'e'd 'ave to charge me double—as I was a 'evy man, sir, and he wouldn't be responsible for the springs, sir; think of that, sir. The road is full of chuck holes, sir, full of chuck holes; and I don't see what those as owns property there is thinkin' of, sir—the king and Ned Bush and such folks. No, I don't." The city editor said it was too bad and cheerfully referred him to Messrs. Hart and Gulick.

"There is a tramway on Beretania street; why does not the minister of the interior send out the cars, get some rock and make the road passable?" asks a correspondent.
