Wingham, - - Ont ric ii1115 lettID.d,Y FEBRUARY 21, 1896, COUNTY COUNCILS. The Hon. A. S. hardy bas placed before the Legislative Assembly his bill for reducing the number of County Councillors. It provides that in each County, the question will first be submitted to the electors at the General Municipal Elections for 1807, tit ascertain their wish in the matter. Provision is also made for the sub- mission of the question in any year subsequent to 1807, After the act goes into force, counties containing not more than 40.000 inhabitants twill have a council consisting of 9 members. Less than 130,000 in- habitants, 11 members. Great- er than 6O,000, 13 members. Nominations are to be made in writ- ing, signed by not less than 25 elee- tors. The reeve and deputy -reeve will fill up the voting papers, each to vote for as many as there aro Coun- cillors required. NORTH POLE. Reports have been received from Dr. Nansen's exploring party, statiug that they have been successful in reaching the North Pole. Unless t' c United States demands it as flag staff from which to fly the Monroe Doctrine, thereby caging inter- national complications this d'sa- eovery will be bailed with great rejoicing. We do not know what benefit it will be geographically or geologically but we know the dis- covery will bring fame to the intrepid Doctor and no doubt his name will be handed down the pages of history with those of the early days of ex- ploration such as Columbus, Cabots. ITawkin and Frobisher, and civili- zation will be, fully rewarded if the fact of his having reached the Long sauglit spat, will keep other fo il- bardy fame worshippers feom reek- lessly stteritie1ng their lie -es in 'tae van endeavor to navigate those northern seas. THAT HISTORIC I31LL. On Tuesday, the city Pape -s were filled with glowing descriptions of the great hi;toricai boli give lay the Governor-General and Lady ether- dcen, in the Senate ehanaber,:ltonday night. If we are to judge from these reports, and I suppose there is no reason the doubting their correct- ness. we must conclude that it was one of the most unique affairs of the kind that have been given in the Capital for many years. The con- ception was idealistic, the t.rrange- ment artistic and the management of the evening's entertainment so complete that it must have pleased the most critical or fastidious. Since coming to Canada, Lord and Lady Aberdeen have cultivated particular care to please the Canadians—not simply the "upper crust" but that class also which forms the back bone slid br tiffs of the Canadian people— the workers; Lord Aberdeen is un- doubtc dly 'the most Popular ire+vr rn. tr we haw •vhad' since Tlufferin and nri Govern:Ws wife has ever reached the iicarts *r the people as has • Lale' A.bei dehii ; • but we • all have our, faults, ail err at serac time in otic lives ankietine of us probably twice or thri Lnot even .
