Although local testimony may he, just

dance is taken with a great deal more
confidence and satisfaction, we therefore
gladly give the followleg extract from.
. the Montreal Post, which not only en-
dorses all that was done with reference to
the demonstration, but also speaks very
highly of the territory gained as a vain-
- able acquisition,. When the Conservative
leaders and newspapers And out that „the
. majority of the people in the country are
with Mowat. they will then say they al-
ways took the same view of the matter,,
and only wished the dispute settled ie a
legal manner:--
VOTING ON THE t3COTT ACT. TIIt," NCOTT *ACT IN 11.1►14TuNi.
Although no official announcetneat bas the following is the vote polled on the

Actri nd Halton. Youst urs eadereal s
anent have Axed ors Friday, Nov, 7th, as will see that the vote was every large one,
the day on which voting on the Scott Act In 1881, at the first vote, there was polled
n the county of aurae shall take place.
Mr, A. H. Musgrave, of Bluevale, (secre-
ary of the East Huron Conservative as-
snciatieo) has :been appointed Returning
Officer. A meeting of the Scott Act
m
Oomitee will be held in this town next
Monday, to make arrangements. for the
cawpaign. There is little time in which
to influence public opinion, by meetings
aad otherwise, but we presume' both sides
will be fully ventilated, although the
moat of people, we believe, have their
minds made up already. That. the Act
wilt be sustained,, is the, general impres-
sion, but this should not cause the tem-
perance people to takematters easily. No.
legitimate effort should be spared that
will snake the issuea; certain one in favor
of the Act, if such a. thing can be consid-
ered a certainty beforehand.

So Eo, FARRAR is coming back as edi-
tor of the Mail, and Martin Griffin will
take his watkin; ticket; It is time he
did, for a meaner writer never wielded an
editorial pen. Farrar is notonly clever
buthe combines respectability with Iiia
smartness, and will assuredly make the
Mail u much more acceptable paper than
it is, if allowed. to use his own judgment.
" But in the opinion tsf the bulk of the
people, Mr. Mowat deserves all the honor
that his friends can bestow upon him --all
the enthusiasm that can follow in the
train of a hero after a successful battle.
In extending the limits' of the Province
from Glengarry to the Lake of the Woods
and from Hudson Bay to the Pelee Wands,
• he has won a splendid victory. 'It' is to
his plucky attitude in the conflict against
the Federal powers and 'political oppo-
nents nearer home that Ontario most at;
tribute the fact that it does not stand to-
day shorn of a rich and fertile tract of
territory. An iinmense gain was secured
to the Province by inducing the Privy,
Council to decide the boundary dispute
on the basis of the award.' Ontario's area;
of agricultural and. ;austere' land, free to
the settler, has .leen doubled. Her mine-
ral wealth hay:.received untold additions,
She has come into possession of the finest
and largest pine t+lord' on the coti-ti-neat.
The treasury of the Province'for years to.
come will find solid backing in unlimited
real estate."

Rep.—"'To what, in -addition to the
causes stated, do you attribute -this unfor-
tunate conditionof affairs'?"
Mr. F.—",Well, it is due in my opinion
principally td the dullness of the cattle
trade,ln' which the different agencies were
very largely. interested: Many of the'
dealers nave been unable • to dispose of
their c': ek at remunerative prices. Others
have kept their cattle over from the springs
thinking that better figures would be ob-
tained this fall 'for them; but the ship-
ments to
hip-ments.to England have not proved as sue-
cessful as hadbeen anticipated, and the con-
sequence is that we were unable to make
the collections expected from these soarcee.
In fact collections have been extremely
dull all oven. The same dullness has'been
felt by wholesale and retail inercbants in
this particular. Then again, although
the season's crops are on the whole good,
• farmers have not as yet realized upon their
prr4::e1, and many other matters of a like
' nature have conspired to bring matters to
this crisis."
"The idea of excluding any persona
from buying•and, selling asthey choose is
a contradictory: and obstructive policy,,
and for the 'benefit .of the public the mar-
ket by-law should be amended..in. all such
particulars'so as to bring it in accord with.
the liberal sentiment of the day.",
If this is not strong enough to convince
the most thorough N. P. man 'that it has
deserted .the -ranks of the protectionist, it
said in an article last week, on wheat pro-
duction, that a farmer mightas easily
increase .the -price of produce as. add one

The annual meeting of this body, com-
posed of members from all the` Institutes
.in the Province, was held on Wednesday
evening , of last week in the ,parliament
buildings, Toronto. There was a very,
large attendance. The report read by the
Secretary -Treasurer showed the following
results:—Fourteen new in'atitutes had
been incorporated during the year and
recognized by the Minister of Education,
making the total number of„ associate in-
stitutes now.in the Province 131, of which
82 received Legislative gestate during the,
past year. The average expenditure by
'each institute during the year was $409,
The aggregate of legislative grants to the
82 aided Institutes was $23,009, while the
aggregate of munieipal grants to 36 Insti-
tutes wawa $3,243.79. ,During the year
evening classes had been conducted by 29
iniititutes, and 36 free lectures had been
delivered, with an averageattendance of
about 400 persons
The principal questions before the asso-
elation were evening classes andfree leo-
tures. Both subjects were, after a long
discussion, referred to the Executive.
The officers for 188.4-85 were elected as
follows:—President, O. IT, W, Klotz; Vice -
