The people of Ontarte would appreciateais keen percep• tion of a long felt want, and his endeavor to eradicate a demonstra- tive evil. -- Tile charges of extravagance which are frequently made by the Opposition press, in esespect to the departments of the government at Ottawa, are not born oat by facts. Last year there was imported into the Dominion silver and copper to the value of $275,000, the profit on which amounted to $82,194, and as the total expenses of the finance 'departmen 1, inch/ding conting-encie.s was $7o,1ee, that department mhy be consieered self-eustaing. "Dearly esteemed eontemporaries, it is riot altogether so much the name yen give it as the thing itself. What we want is free access to the markets of over sixty million people to the south of us.— Yes! but the people to the south Would demana the same privilege; and they being the stronger element of the two, would devour us entirely thus rendering us incapable of making good use of the free access to their markets.

Will the Tinies please describe the quality of Sir John Mandonald's pnlitical integrity, and tell us when and where it has !been demonstratecl3-33/Iitchell Reconier. The above is the concluding sen- tence of a paragraph recently c ott- tained in the Toms, relating to Mr. Thos. Greenway, who is going to make an attempt...to lead the Ma4- toba Legislatune. Our cotem con- torts the item, isiut if he wishes to ;follow up another ',trail by associa- ting the name of Sir John A. Macdonald, we might ask him to point out a single ;instance of. Sir John's uncrupulosity. If our cotem wag not so biased he might see as the majority see, and be cognizant of tbe Canadian Prensier's integrity. Test!isnony goes to sub,stantia.te that his political career has; been up- righ The following petitions have been presented to the Legislature;— Hon. G. W. .Ross, of Middlesex county presented a petition for the amendment of the High Sehool Act, which will give high school trustees the same powers as rural trustees enjoy as to acquiring prop- erty for building and other school pur- poses, and to allow rural municipalities attached to towns ,apel villages for high school purposes a voice in the electing of high school trustees, By Father Toohey, of Middlesex county, for exemption of farm stock from assessment. By Mr. Waters, from Middlesex coun- ty, for an amendment to the Municipal Act, requiring municipal treasurers five days before municipal nomination to furnish a statement, under oath, as to the fi nancial condition of municipality. Mr, Ingram—Petitions from Elgin: County Council for an act to provide for ) the appointment by County Councils of jailers and police magistrates, and for the appointment by vote of the people of sheriffs and registrars. In reply to Mr. Meredith, Mr. Fraser aid the amount paid on the Parliament uildings to date was $160,000. Mr. Gerson introduced a bill to abolish roperry qualification for municipal rep- esentatives. Mr. Wood., of Brant, one to compel Council to make a statement of the financial affairs of their municipalities by the middle of December in each year. THE result of the bye -election in Halton, which took place Tuesday, will be highly satisfactory to all Conservatives. It had returned a Liberal for several years past, the contest at the geueral election result • mg in the return of Mr. Waldie, by a majority of over Mr. Henderson. Mr. Waldie's agents in the campaign resorted to unlawful tactics, and he was therefore unseated, He did not agaiu pose as a camdidate, but allow- ed Mr. McLeod, ex Warden of the County, to contest the riding against Mr. -Henderson. the Conservative nominee, who carried the election by a majority of 14.9. Besides the redeeming of about a dozen other con stitu en c ies the Con seryatives have, during the past couple ot weeks, won two hithei to solid Re- forni ridings—Halton and Heidi maid. In the majority ot the bye elections recently held, as well as ill Halton, the Liberals have associat- ed with other measures, that of Commercial Union. •And in every ca.se the soh= e has been greeted with a bold rebuft, the Globe, Mail, \Whelan, &c„ 'not beilig able to find a place in the hearts of Canadians for the deservedly unpopular meas* tire. It is conceded that Sir John will have a majority of about 43 w ien the Hone meets. • How about counteractions in the sb matter of the various other bye elec- tions which have been wrested from p the Liberals lately? An offset in a r single case is unworthy of notice. THERE has recently been estab- lished at Ottawa a government printing office, in whick the voters' lists under the Dominion Franchise will be prniteds Two years ago the lists were gc.en up in the several printing offices in various ridings, and the Liberal press kept up a cry as to the outrageous price given fdr the -work; and now when the gov- erment have devised a scheme whereby the lists c• n be prepared at a materally lower price the same press complain that it is done in order to give the Dominion (iov- ernment a better opportunity to doctor she lists to suit theirpurposes In such there is neither sense nor argument. Besides Dakota being the coldest place in this portion of country, the people who live there seem to be the meatiest in the world. It will be renembered that severel school mistresses were frozen to death re cently. The brother of oee went to look after her and settle up the afiairs and the Brandon' Times has the following hit of history et'.* "When Mr. Curtis, of Rosedale, svent to Dakota after the remains of his sister, who perished in the recent blizzard, he settled up •1/4yith the school distriet for which she had been teaching, and they made him discount the amount due to her twelveper cent, before they would pay it, claiming that it was damage to the distriet that she dM noS complete the term.

Whitney (Conservative) was el- ected the .ether daytfor the Local Legis- lature for -Dundee -bsea majority, of thirty- two. His .npponent was Dr. Chamber- lain (Reform) who was recently unseated by the election•Court. This is A gain of one seat for Mr. Meredith. ,The co tart lor.the ,trial of corrupt prec. tices at the Glengaryselection was opened at Cornwall an .Saturday morning before Mr. Justice illacMithon,•and after discus- sion the trial was :postponed till March 16 await the result of Mr...Purcell's appeal to the Supreme ,Court. The Supreme Court of Michigan has given judgmentdeclaringthat "Bohemian oats notes" are procured by fraud, and are-noncollectable !unless in the hands of innocent purChasers. The -court terms them gambling contracts. This is a piece of good news to many Michigan farmers who have heen victimized. The oats fraud is very similer tethe seed wheat swindle recently practiced on :farmers in Ontario. Waterloo county .eeuncil unanimously adopted a memorial to the Ontario Legis- lature praying that no Provincial moneys be voted to aid in the enforcement of the Scott Act, whichbeing in principle the same as a local 'improvement measure should be 'enforced entirely at the expense of the counties adopting it and not at all at the expense of the counties under the license law. A Winnipeg despatch .says:—Owing to the compromise proposals of tho Domin- ion Government the railroad agitation in this province has broken out in a more determined manner than ever. Mr. Martin, Attorney -General, declares that the new government will certainlybuild the road this spring, crossing the Dentin ion lands and the Canadian Pacific at all hazards, and that he is in a position to state the money will be forthcoming when wanted. • The proposed step of the Government to have ail the voters' lists under the El- ectoral Franchise Act printed at Ottawa, instead of in various constituencies, is going to result in a saving of $90,000. A careful estimate, made by the superinten- dent of the Printing Bureau, shows that the total cost of the next revision will be under $95,000, upon which it further re- duction is to be made. The cost of print- ing and correcting voters' lists at each subsequent revision is estimated at $7, 800. The magnitude of the work can be realized when it is stated that over one million names have to be set up in type. All the type will be kept "standing." This new arrangement was originated by Hon. J. A. Chaplea,u, Secretary of State. A Tyranuloal BM. Mr. Eraser's Bill for compellingthe closing up of shops is the last specimen of "reform. It provides that any local council may by by-law require that during the whole or any part of the year all classes of shops, or any class, shall be closed on each or any day of the week afterthe time fixed in the by-law. Han application is received by or presented to a local council praying for the passing of a by-law requiring the closing of any class or classes of shops situated within the munici- pality, and the conncil is satisfied that such application is signed by no less than three- fourths in numbers of the occupiers of shops within the municipality and belonging to the class or each of the deafest) which such application relates, the council shall, within one month after the receipt or presentation of each application, pass a by-law giving I effect to sail application and requiring all 1 shops within the municipality, belonging to I the class or classes specified in the applicat • ion, to be closed during the period of a year, I and at the times and hours mentioned inI that behalf in the application. Every such hydaw shall take effect at a date named therein, being not less than one or more than two weeks after tbe passing thereof, and shall before that date he publish. ecl in such manner as to the local council passing the by-law may appear best fitted to insure the publicity thereof. If at any time it is made to appear to the satisfaction of &local council that more than one-third in number of the occupiers of shops to which any by-law passed by the council under the authority of subsection three of this section relates, or of any class of such shops, are opposed to the continuance of Buell by-law, the local council may repealtbe said by-law, or may repeal the same in so far as it affects such class of shops as aforesaid, but any such repealshall not affect the power of the council to thereafter pass another by-law under any of theprovisions of this section.
