It is to be hoped the movement men- tioned below is only the beginning of a work on belialt of the country's interest, that shall not cease till every Grange Di- vision ttiroii heat the Dominion has giv- en .situller iv-en.similer instructions fi ire Muster sill$' Secretary. There is no tithe to lose, as the raiders upon the treasury are aware that Ville people of the country ere per- mitted time to fully look into the matter, their chances of making a haul will soon become very small indeed. If the ques- tion is looked at from 'a purely patriotic standpoint it will be,seene clearly that to. grant aid will not only be a great loss, but it will be strengthening a monopoly that is even now inimical to the liberties and temporal interests of the people. EvpnRASIA, Feb. 7,—At the meeting of the Grey Division Grange; held here to -day, the delegates unanimously instruc ted their Worthy Master and Worthy Sec- retary to memorialize the Dominion Gov- ernment to grant no further aid to the Canada Pacific Railway Company. The The meeting was composed of prominent agri- culturists in the county of Grey, some be- ing well-known Conservatives, others pro- minent Reformers, all being agreed that the proposition to grant .further aid to this corporation was one which would.be resented by the farmers generally. The Grand Trunk Railway Company, have entered a formal pretest .to Parlia- ment against the payment or loan of•any. more money by government to the C. P. R. Co., as they consider it unjust towards other railroads, and very injurious to the interests of the.00uutry, knowing as they do that a yery large .percentage of the sum obtained goes to other purposes, and not to the construction of the road. This movement on the part of the.G.T,R. may make matters very complicated, and' if even -the grant is made by parliament to the road, it is quite possible they .may.. not get it, and if they do, there is every possibility that Canada. will have to pay pretty dear for the money', as she will have to borrow it in. England, :aed'the t;rand Trunk will use strenuous effortsto prevent the floating el the. bonds. ` WINGLIAat. _Quo warranto proceedings have been begun against W. J.
