FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3 1881.
Tat admirable speech delivered by
Cul. Ross in the Ontario Legislature
duriug the debate on the Address, at-
tracted much attention, and has called
forth enema iems trent sevens' lu:wapapere.
The (:(she availed itself of one of the
Colonel's arguments in a recent editorial
on the Disallowance of the Streams Bill,
and, acknowledging its indebtedness, paid
the member for West Buren a deserved
compliment for the ability evinc.d by
him in his discussion of the subject.
The watchful correspondent of the Sea-
forth Expositor at the Provincial capital
thus alludes to the speech: -
Mr. Ross, of West huron, was the
next speaker. As all the others have
done, he occupied himself mainly with
consideration of the two leading questions
the Disallowance and the Boundary
Award. His treatment of the fernier
was remarkable for the thorough ac-
quaintance he displayed of the law and
authority upon the subject, and he
strengthened the position taken by the
Governrnent nut a little by his able
handling of the question. He was quite
as successful in dealing with the Boun-
dary Award, and sh.ewel that the course
of Sir John in refusing to accept the de-
cision of the arbitrators as binding, was
unprecedented and inspired by the gross-.
est partizan motives. Mr.,, Ross has ea-
tablished for himself the reputation of
being, on many subjects, one of the
best,if not the beet, speaker on the min-
isterial 'side .of the House outside of the
Government benches. His knowledge
of legal and constitutional questions is,
fur a layman, wonderful, while in his
mastery of detail and ability to handle
figures of every kind he is certainly un-
aurpassed by any member in the House.
Mr. Rosa will he wanted higher up be-
fore long.
THE editor of the formers Adeocate at
the Agricultural Dinner last ween, urged
the necessity of keepingAmerian breed-
ing cattle out of Canada, for fear of in-
troducing virulent diseases. The mutter
was immediately takeb up by Mr. John
McMillan, Reeve of Hullett, who spoke
the sentiment of the farmers present
when he stated that if stringent restric-
tions were placed mien the importation
of stock, we should be at liberty to im-
port improved animals from any quarter.
Imported stx:k have already enhanced
the value of Canadian bred cattle and
horses, and high though ' our animals
-now stand, the climax, we think, has not
yet been reached. Let our breeders get
.the best animals in the world for breed
ingpurposes, and in .this way we an
keep up the quality of ouraniinals. The
Government on Tuesday, received a
cable despatch from the Colonial Office
announcing that the Imperial Privy
Council had rel 1 .ve 1 the restrictions
placed upon. the importation of Ameri-
can breeding cattle into Canada.
American breeding.cattle will novel be
admitted upon the statne terms as cattle
imp.rted from other infected epountries,
which are subject to t quarantine of
ninety days The •Inarantine stations
fa this purpose will be established at
such principal points as will meet the re-
quirements of traffic. Large numbers of
Jersey cattle will be iunnediately.sent to
Canada as the result of this from points
arose the line
Tus report of the organization meet-
ing of the Reform, Association of North
Huron held' at Winghaut, on Monday
last, and which will be found en our
eighth page. will prove of interest to
many of our readers. The enthusiasm
which prevailed frim the start to the
finish of the meeting was of that lasting
kind which augurs sell for hard work
and good work during the next cam-
paign. The questions discussed by the
several speakers we:e ably handled, and
the runner in which the utterances were
receited by the audience, testified that
the sentiments uttered by the speakers
were echosed in the hearts of the listen-
ers. The meeting at NVingham is the
forerunner of the defeat of Mr. Thomas
Farrow, M. P., who has misrepresented
the Riding at Ottawa s. thoroughly
during the past ten year.

the "tempers- cannot win • victory.
A rigid acrutiny of the voters' lists, face
to face work with electors. a judicious ss
of sound p•htio•1 literature, and a per-

A PLEASING acknowledgement of the
tried worth of a County official was made
laat week when the Salaries Committee
recommended that Mr. Peter Adamson's
salary as County Clerk of Huron should
be supplemented by =100. The increase
was agreed to by the Counciilors, indi-
vidually and collectively, for one and all
acknowledge the ability, intelligence and
other sterling qualities of Mr. Adamson,
The salary of the County High Con-
stable, Mr. John Currie, was also sup-
plemented at the sante time.

THE WARDENSHIP.
From the Seafortp Expositor.
Mr. F. W. Johnston, Reeve of Gode-
rich, has been elected Warden of the
county for the current year. The War -1
denship election has now come to be re-
garded by both sides as a sort of test of
the politic/al oomplexion of the Council,
and the elevation of Mr. Johnston to
twat position is doe in some degree to
the fact of his being a Conservative, as
the Conservatives have this. year a Ma-
jority of members in the County Coun-
cil. It must not be concluded, however,
front this, that hs is the best fitted or
bed entitled to the position of any Con-
servative member of the Council. On
the contrary, there are a score of Con-
servative Councillors who, by virtue of
priority of membership as well as ability,
are much more deserving of the honor,
if honor it bo, than he is. His election,
therefore, is due mainly to the fact that
he had the "cheek" to prey himself for-
ward, and the persistency to ,continue
his canvassing for the position until the
last moment, while better and. more de-
serving, although modest men, scorned
to gain honors in such a way. There
was a time when the Wardenship of the
county could be looked to as a .sort of
reward for faithful and efficient services
in oWlneotion with the Council, but that
time has now gone by. Ability, exper-
ience and industry are no longer consid-
ered qualifications for the office. The
selection seems to be regulated solely by
the political necessities of the dominant
party, combined with the aptitude of
the aspirant for scheming, canvassing
and button -holing for the position.
From our point of view we do not know
that this is greatly to be regretted. We
have long been of the "pinion, and we
have frequently expressed it, that Coun-
ty Councils have outlived their day, and
that their usefulness is gone. We know
of nothing that will bring the public to
our view so speedily as • few repetitions
of the farce which was enacted at Gode-
rich on Tuesday evening, as it is noth-
ing short of a farce, to place a inan like
Mr. F. W. Johnston at the head of a de-
liberative body such as the County
Council of Heron should be.
