Mr. J. K. Leslie, York township
clerk, has notified all whom it may
concern, that at the forthcoming sea
cion• of the Outario Legislature hir
municipality will ask for legislation,
that power be granted to township
couuoils to oommute statute labor
without asking the consent of the
ratepayers affeeted,to open new streets
and make other improvements, and
to tax certain localities in whole or in
part for the maintenance of roads al-
ready established, after the consent of
parties owning at least one-half in
value of the property benefitted has
been obtained, upon thefroutege tax
system. Leave will also be asked to
enable townships to construct sewers,
bridges, etc., and assess the same on
the looel improvement plan.
The first effect of the Queen's
speech at the opening of the Imperial
Parliament has been to induce the
Parnellites to look to Mr. Gladstone,
and to give the grand Old Man an
opportunity of holding out hopes to
them of his readiness to bake up
Home rule. Without positively pro-
mleine anything the Liberal leader
has indicated, his favorable view of
each a measure of relf-government as
would not endanger the supremacy
of the empire. The question is, how
far he could oarry his party with him
were he to propouud a definate
scheme of this character. If we may
judge by the tone of the London
press such a move, while it would
rally Parnell's following undbr Glad -
stone's umbrella would alienate . an
important section of his following
possibly enough to secure the defeat
of the proposal, even with the aid of
the Parnellites. But Mr. Glad -
stone's personal ascendancy over his
supporters, is very strong, and if he
has really determined to strike hands
with the home rulers, 'his influence
and the strength of party ties would'
be likely to retain many Liberal
members who are of themselves op.

Another German Letter.
To the Exeter. Times,
SIR,—I saw in the Mail a couple
of letters, written to your paper by
Germans from Zurich and Crediton.
I am glad to see that the Germans of
those localities are awakening to the
true meaning of the present political
agitation. We as Germane know full
well what French supremacy means,
and if the Reformers carry out their
present plans to a successful end,
French supremacy will be the result.
No one can successfully deny that.
Anyone who has read the Globe news-
paper for the last three months will
be fully convinced that the Reform
party is sold, as far as the Globe and
Edgar can sell it, to the French
people of Quebec. Was there ever in
hietory a paper or a party press that
turned such a complete somersault as
the Globe and the Reform papers have
done on the Riel question. Before
he was hung and while they fondly
hoped he would not be hung, how
they demanded hie life blood ! How
the Government was denounced for
planning schemes to let him off !
They prophesied that be would not
but would be made a
tor. e
human if they entertained kin y
feelings toward the author of their
troubles.
