Mr. Hardy, in response to well -expressed public opinion, has brought on a bill to improve county councils, in substitution for tl e Measure first laid before the Legis- lature. Instead of being elected by the reeves and deputies, as at first proposed, the new measure provides that the election of county councilors shall be by diree'; populpar vote. Each county is to be divide int o districts, according• to the nun ber of members to be sleeted, bu there will be a radical reduction i the number of members now quail Bed to sit, Each distriet will eh c two representatives, who will eae hold office for a term of two years The elections will be held at th same time as the municilal elections the nomination of candidates being made with the county clerk, as in the draft of a new bill. Every elector will be entitled to two votes which he can give to one or two candidates, as he sees fit. Ther will be no gerrymandering, as the bill provides for two boards of com stand by him to the last. * * Mr. BEAUSOLEIL'S support of the remedial bill is a further argument against that measure to the minds of the people of Montreal, who are best acquainted with Mr. Beausoleil and his aims, methods and purposes, which are usually in intagonism ,to the public interests. It will not be easy to convince the people of Mont- real that there is much public good in any proposals which he supports in opposition to Mr. Laurier. If Mr. Laurier's leadership needed com- mendation in the eyes of the best elements of the city it would be county who would be glad .of the finished in their opinion by the priveleges of attending such a school desertion of Mr. Beausoleil. May it near home. We feel confident it woi,ld be most liberally supported. be perpetual. Men would love Mr. Laurier for the enemies he has made. Another bolt or two of the same character from the Liberal party and EDITORIAL NOTES. Tim latest dodge among Tory papers is to publish a report that Laurier has threatened to resign the leadership if his Quebec followers do not support Jahn in his amendment. We feel eonfident that these parties need not be alarmed, Mr. Laurier is a statesman and a gentleman and does net resort to school boy tatics. He has shown himself, a man of inflexible character and true moral d. with whom neither friend or foe can 1- turn from the path of duty. He has t given the lie to those who have said R that he was ruled by the church, and whatever he may do in the future - his speech of last week will live in t the history of Canada. h. *' • WE notice by an exchange that e the Woodstock Public School trustees have engaged a gentleman to teach music in their, schools at a salary of twenty dollars a month, the teacher to devote all his time daring school hours to the work. It is our opinion that the trustees of Woodstock e Public School are knaves and the teacher a fool. Ther• are asking for services for which they do not missioners—one for counties east o Toronto and the other for counties west—consisting of four judges, .whose duties will be to define the boundaries. The commissioners will .be appointed and paid by the Gov- ernment. This is a folio winy out of .the British principle. In the amend- seedshape Mr. Hardy's pruposals will no doubt meet with general indors- .atian and become law.—Advertiser. COMMERCL1L SCHOOL. At.the last regular meeting of the Council, the following resolution was moved by Councillor Gordon, and unanimously passed: "That, while the town of Wingham enjoys many natural and acquired advantages,prominent among these, mention may be made of oursplendid water- power, unsurpassed railway facilities, extensive and progressive furniture Factories; t1orar mills, oatmeal mills, saw mills, sash and doorfactories, Salt block, tanneries, and many other industries that point clearly to the enterprise and ;push of our citizens. .As a center of mercantile enter- prise, liberality andintegrity ; Wingham, according to its size, stands without an equal, yet in one Very important particular, viz., that of Ii igll School, or Conlmercial Mu - dation, we a,re far behind the towns pay. And no doubt they will find it will stand higher than it does in the estimation of the people. It is not pleasant to have to jettison the Jonahs, but when they jump over- board on their own accord it is a relief to be grateful for. Such elements in a party are a source of weakness and defection •in times of need, and a source of trouble and of great clanger in times of prosperity and power.—Witness. GORRIE. Assignments appear to be the order of the day among the business men and farmers of this section, just now. Mr. David Sanderson has, we understand, placed the proceeds. of the sale of his hardware stock in the bands of an assignee for distribution among his creditors. Mr. Bryce Young, farmer, has also gone and done likewise. Who goes next? Mr. D. Sanderson, hardware merchant, of this place, has disposed of his business and stock to Mr. Thos. Edgar, son of Mr. Sandy Edgar, of 2nd con. of Howick. Mr. Edgar has been engaged in the dry goods business with Mr. Patter- son, of Molesworth for the past two years and considering his experience and ability he should make a success of the business. their money thrown away, at the I The creditors of the Laine estate, end of the year, and unanimously , have (at their meeting held on ' a number of our young people assembled at the home of Mr, Wm. i Marshall for the purpose of dancing and all appeared to enjoy themselves immensly, I The smiling appearance and !pleasant manner of a number .of young ladies are again in our midst.

The authorities should have been,notified as to their dangerous !condition and should have at once taken stops to have thein put in • proper condition. , Owing to the concert, "Uncle ! Tom's Cabin", which was held in Wingham, on Friday evening last, the concert which was to have taken place in our school house here was postponed until Friday evening next and as the concert is reported as being "good," the young folks of this place are looking forward to the time with anxious expectations. Early on Wednesday morning of last week,some unknown party pass- ed through our towm uttering the most boisterous yells thus disturbing the peace. Take a timely warning young man and guard against this in the future as the authorities of the town are snaking enquiries as to who the guilty party is. The Mayor of the town is also on the lookout for you and intends having the cul- prit sent down for a few months.
