the passenger traffic there is the ex-
press business in fruit and other com-
modities. Another consideration &t-
ractiog Owlet -kb is that the new ar-
rangement will mean the removal of
six or eiebt families to Stratford. as it
will be more convenient for the train-
men to make that point their head-
quartere,
The new timetable le the result of a
conferen^e held with 0. T. R. officials
at Clinton a few weeks ego. So far as
Ooderich is concerned. the desire is
for a longer period between the arri-
val of the first train and the depart-
ure of the last one. if the 5 o'clock
train out could be restored Goderich
could get along very well with the
1 10 incoming train. With the last
train leaving at 2.30, however. there
should be • train arriving In the morn-
ing, but the Buffalo connection sbould
not be disturbed. This is the way
Ooderich feels about it.
It is hoped that the summer time-
table to be issued in June will correct
the present arrangement.
At Brantford tbere is considerable
feeling over the Butting off of the con-
nection between that city and point*
north of Stratford. The Brantford
Ezporltor says :
"Local wholesalers when inter-
viewed on the matter today expressed
the opinion that this is the worst slap
that the Grand Trunk his given the
wholesale dealers of Brantford and
Hamilton In some years. They have
through this chane, they say, made
it almost impossible to ship perish-
able goods to the points north of
Stratford, se if the same be shipped
from bere by express at 10.19 a. m.
they will have to lay over at Stratford
a period of four hours. sod if shipped
at night will have to lay in the ex-
press sheds till some time the next
morning. Locally. the wholesalers
are real 'hot' on the question, and
state tbat last year the lame rood
pulled off something of the same na-
ture when they made • cut In service
north of Palmerston, thus favoring
the wholesalers of London and Tor-
onto. and placing •'serious stumbling
block in the way of Brantford and
Hamilton."

The tweeting was addressed by
Aid. Ramsden, of Toronto, who re-
viewed some of the important ques-
tions of the day. In his opinion con-
scription wouid not be necessary if
the Government had done its duty in -
Amid of playing politics. In Quebec
the Government had played for Que-
bec votes, and had mace an alliance
with the Nationalists who had been
talking against giving help to Britain.
When war bloke out no proper step'
were taken to encourage recruiting in
Quebec. At the time nt the Boer war
Bouraesa had quarreled with Mir %ViI-
lrid Limier on the question of send-
ing Canadian troops to South Africa,
and ever since that time Sir Wilfrid
bad never sought. Bourasesi s counsel.
On the other band, the Conservatives
had sought the aid of Bowmen and
his friends to placeand maintain them-
selves in power. These were some of
tbe causes of the present situation. If
conscription was nereseary in the in-
terests of the Empire, he (the speaker)
declared himself ready to support it.
Speaking of Hun. Robe.t Ro ere,
the speaker declared that he could be
dispensed with without any great loss
to Canada or to the Empire.
Mr. Ramsden also spoke of the fl -
medal record of the Government, its
apathy io the face of the increased
coat of living, its leniency towards
grafters. and other failures in admin.
ist ration.
Mr. M. O. Cameron. K. C. of Gods-
rich,
od♦
rich, gave an admirable address on
the political issues of the day. He ad-
mitted that conserip ' was an ugly
word ; but the war must be won, and
so far as the Liberal leader was con-
cerned he believed that Sir Wilfrid
would take the patriotic stand.
Mr. A. Hislop, the Liberal candidate
in North Huron, declared that Sir
Robert Horden in keeping Hon. Rob-
ert Rogers as bis rnmpanion and con-
fidential adviser was insulting the
people of Canada. Mr. Hislop con-
demned Government extravagance
and the handing nut to party friends
of greet sums in contracts, etc., while
the poor people were being asked to
glue their last eve cents for patriotie
prep woe He. too, believed that if
the Government had done 1ta duty
there would he no need of conscription.
Ho far there was no infot matron as to
the details of the Government's con-
seription proposals. and until more
was known of the principles and de -
hila of the measure be did not care to
