THE BOUNDARY AWW $RD. -
Our iod•ptadent, dlthoagh prosily
Prootecttuuiat contemporary* thillirtnontu
WerLA, has a ).vel -h del *Wee on
the referencia ot the boundary award to
the judical committee ut the PrtvyCoun-
cil. It is as follows :
Botts of our Tory confrere -t are ringing

g.estio . Few of them know anytl-ing
sheat the real filets of the case. Never-
theless the frldtber of they are Jrore

smatter in dispute, the mora actions are
they to air their opinions. Fut! the
odifieatietr'ef these innocents and the
•tiestructio:i of all who have not followed
the t tse throujh the stages we give
the following outline. Fur the past
twenty -Ste years Col, A. M. has
We ere out to cuter IyW a dis-
cussion of the (aspect of the bound-
ary dispute ; ouiS present object is to
state what we •u,4$ider to be the actual
eituatiou .
First of all, theu,we are woevistdthat
the boundary award will be rata by
the privy courted.
Se000nd, flat it is Sir John Mscdoe-
old, u..t Mr Mowat, who has backed
down.
Third, that Mr. Meredith wilt straight,
way login to modify his ,position and
begin to take the Ontario view.
Fourth,thetail the bluster of the Moll
is merely to oover up Sir John's re-
treat..
But is Sir John's retreat a defeat 1
Nu, for this reason : He was anxious to
carry the last Dominion election. A
atrooi card for kis wee to set Upper and
Lower Canada by the ear, so to speak.
The boundary issue was the very thing
fax the purpose. He oouid depend on
the tariff questiou, notwithstanding the
boundary dispute, to carry Outeri° ; he

the
boundary now was the WNW. In both
oases he for soured suceeidully Now
that he is secure in oboe he can afford
to say w the French Canadians, I've
done all I could, the privy council must
settle the dispute. And depend upon it
the privy council will settle it for the
award. The privy council, like all ap-
pellate courts, is slow to re -open opus,
is ever disposed to make awards binding,
which award. the parties interested had
previously agreed to abide by.
The ease will not be gone into on its
merits, but simply on the issue- -did
both parties agree to abide by the award.
This will be established and Ontario will
get the territory.
Ontario will be satisfied.
Sir Jolun Macdonald is sat$,tied having
already attained his end.
Manitoba will have to be satisfied.
So wilt the French Canadians.
As for Mr. Meredith he will begin to
square himself forthwith. He has been

here that Dr. Holmes himself will say
that they have dune so. The doctor is a

an astute politisian, but that he has ever
developed any ',social aptitude .,s a finan-
cier, or that he. has tiny sptoi.tl abilities
as an aoouuatant we have yet to leant,
aod,bo uiunicipal esperi.nce is, at beat,
meagre, and he knows nothing of the
general routine of the ofiiw. He will
have everything to learn. On the other
hand, Mr. Adamson is a skillet! account-
ant, he is thoroughly conversant with
every transection of the council for the
past twenty years, he understands the
minutes of the office coptFl.tely, and as
an authority on municipal natters has
few superiors In feet be possesses in
an eminent degree all the quid ifisetionafor
the position which are w prominently
lacking in his opponent, and there is not
a man either is the council or out of it
knowing the qyualifioatious of both, who,
if he were making a similar _ selection in
his own private business would net vast-
ly prefer Mr.' Adamson. Why then was
be pend over fur an inferior man. The
reason was given very plainly en the
floor of the (xunoil by ,.tie of the mem-
bers, who said, in effect, although in-
correctly) that all county officials wore
Grits, .and that now the Conservatives
had a majority in the council they were
bound to avail themselves of that majori-
ty to secure the appointment for a Coo-
servative. This, thea, we suppose is the
reason why the inferior applicant was
preferred to the superior one. So that,
in this view of ths ease, the appointment
is as dtecriditable to those responaible
for it as tk.dis000rteons manner in which

Sir Richard Cartwright is not without
bis ad.nirers, and in this teas it seems
that the admiration of his friends is quite
as keen as the bitter criticism of hie
enemies, Mr. Allan Pringle, of Selby,
whose independeooe may be fairly jodeed
by the fact that he voted fir Sir John
Macdonald at the general elections,writes
to the Toronto World, bearing testimony
es to Sir Richard's ability.' He criticises
the absurd charge against the owning
member for South Huron, that be is
"haughty, domineering and un000rteous"
in his treatment of manufacturers, and
retorts by showing that he Is a larger
owner, by far, of factory property in

by a number of Reformers. with their
characteristic fairness toward their party
leaden, for the misfortunes which betel
the Mackenzie Administration on the
rejection of its fiscal policy by the elec-
torate. Sir Richard, as Minister of
Finance, was forced to give utterance to
the views of the Government collective-
ly, and as those views were obnoxious
to the manufacturers, he became identifi-
ed with the opposition to protection in a
more manta sense than any other
Cabinet Minister. Add to this the fact
that he left the v 'uervative party some
years before. and the extreme bitterness
of the Ministerial press in speaking of
him is a000nnted for. Sir Richard rivals

SCHOOL TRUSTEE ELEf'Tfu.V.
Two vacancies have occurred on the
board of public school trustees, caused by
the closing of the term of Mr. Butler in

in St. Patrick's ward. The nominations
for candid.otea were held en Wednesday

trol will be exercised by the two Gov-
ernments. Each Government may ap-
point its own police commiesionen at
Rat Portage along the line of the Cana-

co-ordinate. - The expense of the 'police

reeveship ever at Brussels. Two new
aspirants for the position ,have appeared
in W. H. McCracken and James Drewe-
McCracken was elected over his oppon-
ent, Rogers, last year, but when the
ballots came up for inspection before the
county judge it was found that in some
mysterious way the count diet not agree
with the figures quoted on election day.
There ars many over at Brussels who
believe the ballot -loxes were tampered
with before they wtme to the county
judge for inspection. At any rate, Mc-
Crecken is in the field once more, and
will, we feel assured, he elected on Jan-
uary 7th. Janes Drewe, the second
aspirant is a Tory ward politician who
is now endeavoring to plias nimsolfoff for
a "Canada first" man. He is a dyed-in-
the-wool Tory, and if elected would on-
ly be a tool in the hands of F. W. John-
ston and P Kelly. Rogers, the defunct
reeve, although personally a genial old
gentleman, is of no earthly use as a reeve
or ,county councillor. At the county
hoard est'cially he has been as potter's

to a 'treat newspaper, as it delights to
