The council will meet next Monday

NEW JUSTICES OF THE PEACE.
TIIE TIDIES is pleased this week to
announce the appoietment, by the On-

McKibben, Welter Scott and John J.
Anderson as Justices of the Peace for

Thus far, of course, the list is a yery
meagre one, but we hope within the

forthcoming. We are in a position to
state definitely that Mayor Neelands
will be a candidate for re-election, and
many will be pleased to learn this
fact. Mr. Neelands has proved hira-

his time and energy to the duties of

occurred during any year while Sir

THE TIMES is in receipt of• -acom-
munication from a correspondent who
complains that one of the clergymen
at the recent harvest home festival in
the town hell here took occasion to
eulogi9 our Government as the best
in, the world, and he wishes an ex-
planation. We presume, and it is to
be hoped for the rev. gentleman's owu
sake, that he referred to our system
of government in general name than
the present Government in particular,
for we can hardly conceive how any
Christian minister could fever the
gross corruption of our Dominion
Government and its conduct in the
complication of the license question
and the harm it has doue to the cause
of temperance. It might be better
were clergymen, as well as others, to
he a little more explicit when express-
ing their opinions on governments, in
order that their remarks might not be
misunderstood or misconstrued.

this year en Thursday, November 12t11.
It wus originally proclaimed for the

the busiest day in the week for the
merchant—it was thought advisable
to make the change. The day will •
thus be more universally observed.
