THURSDAY, DECEMBER 22nd 1882.
It did seem of late that the council of
this year would be returned ;ley acola-
nation, but daily the indications of
opposition are becoming more visible,
It is now almost certain that the deputy
Reeve, Mr. H. Spackman will have op-
position in the person of Mr. W. G -
Bissett; whilefor councillors several new
men are spoken of, among those more
prominently mentioned being R, S.
Lang, D. Mill, L, EL Dickson, Dr.
Lutz and Itobt. Sanders. These are
all good and strong men, and if they
permit their names to come before the
electorate, a keen contest is assured.
The career of the present Council has
not bean such as to merit an undisturb-
ed lease of the several offices for another
year.

Wait for the turn of the tide. There
can be no question that the cause of
temp erance is steadily progressing.
Persistent agitation is producing its
effect on public opinion and slowly bu t
surely public c•piuion is making itself
felt in the statute books. The m uni-
oipal authorities at London, Ont., have
determined to submit to the people a by-
law prohibiting the sale of liquor on any
day of the week after 7 p. in. St.
Thomas intends to move in the sante di-
rection and in Bcivmanville it is pro-
posed by some to make the price of shop
licenses $1,01.10 each. There is a clearly
defined tendency in the direction of
greater restriction of the traffic, and if
the temperance people will only be
content to work towards the much to be
desired, end of prohibition by a gradually
increasing stringency of legislation their
object will be gained much sooner than
by an uncompromising demand for''pro-
hibition or nothing."

Filled by a Trolley Car.
TORONTO Dec.21.—Hugh Phillips, driver
of a one horse car on Parliament street,was
knocked down and killed on Front street,
jest west of the Queen's hotel, yesterday
morning. The accident happened about
6.30 and as it was still dark. Philips got
his horse from the stables near Frederick
street and taking his stool, whip and lant-
ern fsarted for his car. As far as can be
learned he was walking beside the north-
ern track when motor No. 270 from Yonge
street came up behind him. The noise
frightened his horse. The plunging
animal shoved him in front of the car, and
he was knocked down and rolled along by
the guard beam for several yards. When
the ear was stopped and the man rescued
he was still alive, but unconscious. He
never regained his senses. The bruised
and bloody form was carried into the
Queen's Hotel where a few minutes Iater
Phillips breathed his last. Dr. Winnett
was called but death got there first.
Chapleau's Recommendations Ignored.
OTTAWA, Dec. 21.—Lieutenant Governor
Chaplean says that his physical condition
may later necessitate a visit to France, but
at present the indications are that he will
pull through without a"trip to Paris. He
will open the Quebec Legislature in person.
I Mr. Chaplean repudiates the rumors of
dissensions in the ranks of his party. The
Government here, however, have thrown
i into the waste paper basket some of the
recommendations he made to the 'Privy
T, Connell on the eye of his retirement from
3 the Cabinet.

s. A. FINANCES -
General Booth's Management Approved
by the Investigating Committee.
Loernorr, Deo. 21.—The report of tins
committees of which the Earl of Onslow is
chairman, and which was appointed to in-
vestigate the financial affairs of the Salva-
tion Army as couducted by Gen. Booth,
was made public yesterday. The report
speaks favorably of Gen. Booth's enter-
prise for the redemption of "Darkest Eng-
land," but qualifies the general verdict of
approval with eritioism to the effect that
too much cash has been sunk in building
operations at the beginning of the enter-
prise.
The report is a great victory for Gen.
Booth, whose management of the Salvation
Army finances is thus found to be correct
by a committee of unimpeachable clearer, -
ter and standing, and the .appointment of
which was prompted in the first place by
hostile critics of the Salvation Army.
BUILDING SOCIETY FRAUDS,
Additional Charges Against the Secretary
and Director of the Liberator.
Loa-nov, Dee. 21.-3. W. Hobbs, the
London builder, and J. W. Wright, a soli-

additionalcharges preferredagainstthem.
Hobbs will also have to answer for theft of
a large sum of money belonging to his own
firm, J. W. Robbs & Co. The new charge
against Wright is that he stole a check for
£2,500 belonging to the Liberator Society.
Wright was formerly financial manager of
the society and Hobbs was its managing
director. It is said Hobbs and Co, owes

from this side the American flag will also
probably grace her. This will be the cul-
mination of plans which the International
Naviguation Co. have been perfecting for
many months and whieh will place it pre-
eminently above all other trans-Atlantic
lines.
Tho Briggs Heresy Trial.
NEW YonA, Dee. 21. ---The 140th day's
session of the New York Presbytery on the
trial of Dr. Briggs on charges of heresy was
began promptly at 2 o'clock yesterday. The
Rev. Dr. Jos. T. Lampe began the reply of
the prosecution. Dr. Lampe said that with
Christ the Scriptures were the ultimate and
final authority. Dr. Briggstook adifferent
stand. In so doing he called the Lord a
liar. Dr. Briggs would destroy the infalli-
bility of the Scriptures in his reasoning
that they are not the direct words of God,
but it was conclusive the Bible is not the
product of reason or human wisdom. Dis-
tort and dissect it as you may, its great
truths still stand out as those spoken by
God and those who deny or gainsay them
are guilty of heresy. Dr. Lampe will con-
clude his argument to -day.
