FUSION OF THE GREAT' WESTERN
AND .GRAND' TRTJNII. RAILWAYS
After many efforts and years of labor
the GrandTrunkshareholders have been
eeuccessful in bringingl about a union of
the two above-named railroads, at least
an amalgamation of the:twoboards has
boon brought about, and `there is every.
likelihood that the two roads will be under
one ;management,- no matter what the
amount of opposition there may be to :it
in this country. .Shareholders put their
@emoney into the two concerns for the pur-
pose of getting dividends; and when they,.
find'. that under all past arrangements they
do not,is 4 ,, it quite reasonable to suppose
that they would adopt some arrangement
.se whereby they would effect this object.
There are two- ways-in-'-whieh—they-ern ay
make or save money to pay higher divi-
dends by this union—one by''putting np
freight rates, and the other by curtailir.g
expenses ; the latter may beclone in places
where the two roads have a station each
and all -the requisite' employees,..: by" in
future having, only one station and one
staff of employees. The feeling of • oppo-
sition to, the :union in Canada will no
doubt bo strong, from the -fear that a mo-
nopoly of trafficwill be: created, and per-
haps somealight efforts, to prevent its
consummation may be made, but they will
be futile, as the companies could easily;
effect some mode of running in anion in
spite of all opposition Canadians may,
therefore, accept dthe!.eituation and strive'
to get the bestfr`eight rates and accommo-
dation possible. As the managers will be
men of business they will know it is .to
their advantage not .to be' extortionate in
their rates, and we consequently expect
but little change in that respect.

AN INSULT TO THE PROFESSION.'
Says the St. Thomas Journal_..
The Toronto World,(Independent-:Protee-
tionist,)•with a paternal.air that isamusing•
in so yenng a. journal, offers ,the following
advice to "the country weeklies."
".And above all•avoid the alleged leading
organs of the two parties, the Globe ;and the
Mail rather should they seek to gather up,
the opinion of the various Reform and Con
servative journalise' arid put it before the conn-;
tay, instead of as they doe forming itin their
backstair offices ' and then asking the country
• journals to accept it as gospel." .
There is a good deal -of sense in the advice,
- and it should not be slighted simply, : because,
it emanates from anew paper. Experience,
not years, brings•..nf turity of thought, and
the history of the "eonntry ,weeklies;' of Ca-
nada shows a great lack ',of; independent
thought and unbiased action. a'
We have no hesitation in declaring the
above statement au insult to the country'prEo8
because it is not true, and, are therefor the
more surprised that such an intelligent paper
journal endorse �-t The conn:
as the ou ❑ 1 ehoalde or e t .
J
try weeklies," at least the : eform portion, as
a general thing, ;de not ''show wrack ;of
g g ;
dependent thought: apd unbiased 'action," as
those who read any number'ef them' know.
1Vith the excep"tion of two orjthree writers on
the Globe and Mail:there is 'more'intelli-
gence and ability :displayed ou the ' conn
try weeklie.I than' the average daily,
notwithstanding . a t that in the case of..
the latter; the edi r has thing to do but
write leader§, while in thec se of the' former,
the editor, has to devote his time, as the sale
bill would say, to " other articles too numer,
ous to mention."'
T11E Conservatives of North Huron meet

The Hurons .tgaiu-cut up.
When the County of Huron was put up in
1872, the Ridings were eo gerrymandered that
a map of them, exhibited on the floor of par-
liament by Mr. Rymal, showed; thein to be
the most outlandish production of the politi-
cal trickster's' art, and elicited the remark
from this member" that there wae.nothing to
prevent lhim falling down and worshipping it,
for there was nothing in heaven or uponearth
like it." But the gerrymander of ;1872 was
nothing tb be compared With the gerrymander
of 1882; as shown by the Redistribution Bill
brought into, the House last Friday. , And if
the Ridings are as shainefully cut np all over
the Province, as they are in this county—and
it is said they .are—it is an outrage which,
the people should not calmly submit to, and
we have no doubt but that when the proper •
time comes, they will show the government of
Sir John.that they will not submit. longer to
his arbitrary rule. Of course the ostensible
object of the gerrymander is- to create several
new constituencies, but to Make, ad many as
possible safe for Conservative condidates, and.,
to,accomplish the defeat of Reformers,' if
possible, is certainly the_true reason for the
many changes. To show the construction of
the Ridings in this county, we give below the
formation . 'of each, with the- population as
given by the last;. census.

It will be seen that in the South Riding
Colborne and Goderieb. town, formerly in, the
Centre:Riding,. have .been added, Stephen
taken away and added to North:Middlesex—
a new riding—and the- township•of Usborne,
the'•southern 'limit of the county added•to
South Perth, . The North Riding is' left
practically the same, with the exception of
that part of Lucknow which was in Huron
county, and which was -formerly:part of the
North Riding, being put in Bruce, and 'the
whole of Brussels goes in the Centre -

about the same as under the census of 1881,

'the North Riding also shows a slight decrease..

cut up 'the riding so that his chances of:re-
