Mayor Wigle has been re-elected for a fourth term as Mayor of Goderich. The result is not surprising in view of the comparative inexperience of the Mayor's opponent in respect of municipal affairs. Personally Mr. Dunlop is one of the most copular men in Goderich ; but the fad that he bad been in the council only one year, and during that year had not taken any prominent or aggressive part in the proceedings of the council, militated against his success in encountering so doughty an opponent as Mayor Wigle. It is to be hoped that Mr. Dunlop's interest in municipal matters will nut cease, and that he will in due time again become a mem- ber of the counciL The contest for the reeveship brings back to the council Mr. T. M. Davis and leaves Mr. T.R. Wallis outside. Without any disparagement of Mr. Davis it can be said that in the defeat of Mr. Wallis the town loses a faithful and valuable public servant. As head of the public works department Mr. Wallis gave a great deal of his time, his experience and bis skill to the town's affairs, and he was also a very useful member of the county property committee of the county council. Dr. Clark's large majority in the ballot for Dep.ly Reeve may be accounted for largely by the fact that his opponent, Mr. Bartle. has been a resident of the town a comparatively short time. and has never been on the town council. The electors seem to regard an apprenticeship as a councillor a requisite qualification for the higher offices. The three new men of this year's council -Messrs. Davi<, Cutt and Walker -are all men who have been on the coun- cil before ; so that so far as experience goes it should be a strong body. We believe the townspeop:e would like to see some of the members take a More aggres• sive part in the proceedings of the coun- cil. Even if a matter has been pretty thoroughly discussed in comm.ttee, the people like to have a Mau, anitaletOtil views openly and candidly -u0 n 411* tions coming 'before the council which admit of differences of opinion. The Goderich Manufacturing Co. bylaw received a very strong endorsement ; the Western Canada Flour Mills bylaw just squeezed throush. It is a tribute to the strong otganiza ion that was behind the latter bylaw, and to the place that "the Big Mill" holds in the estimation of the people of Goderish. that this bylaw got through at all. for there was a very gen- eral feeling that the figure at which the assessment was fixed for the next ten years was altogether too low. With such an expression of goodwiil as these t companies have received, there should be no doubt as to the generous di<p 'sition of the ratepayers of G derich towards the industries of the town. Perhaps a few words of explanatio as t3 the editorial standpoint may n be amiss as, a conclosion of this arti a on the recent voting. The Signal'sitorial views are given in its edit mal &lumns, or, if elsewhere, in such a way air to indi- cate their edittal characte.

A now salads, IT Toronto use Black,or wheat are victims of an hallucination. \Vheat is lower in price because of a larger supply by rea on of la-ge crops. Large quantities of Canadian wheat have been marketed in the United States because of exchange conditions. The United States farmers. seeing the price of their wheat fall coincidently with large importations of Canadian wheat, thought one was the result of the other. Wheat prices both in Canada and in the United States depend largely upon world con- ditions. There may be fluctuations of a few cents owing to local conditions ; but sr long as these countries are exporters of wbeat the price of wheat will be governed by the 'wort price.

A statement has been made in an Ontario paper, that the editors of that paper hare information to the effect that the call for famine relief in China 1s not an urgent call or is not based ou great Peed. As the people of the churches of our town and vicinity are being asked to contribute to this fund, we thought a short statement would tot be amiss. Every Protestant pastor In Goderleh has received a communication from the head of his church urging Wm to present this claim to his people. This has leen done after a thorough inves- tigation, and after receiving informa- tion from their own represeotat}eea on the mission Heide in China. `'' One denomination might be misled. but our leaders are not so desirous of multiplying funds wo to send out re- quests for aid where aid Is not urgent- ly needed: and the fact that all the church bodies hear the same cry for help is sufficient guarantee of lta nature. The moneys that may be given are to be adminietered through the mis- sionary departments of the different churches, co-operating with each other; thus the danger of our funds gettttlg into the hands of corrupt ('binese ol� fickle Is reduced to a minimum. , The cry of hungry children to those who know not what it means to be really hungry and who thank God for the land in which we lire. will not be 1 heard in rain; and as we hear that cry we also hear the voice of Him who said, "Inasmuch as ye did it.
