The official organ of the Patrons of Manitoba has the following,. :-- aThey have xiow in Britain the strongest Governinent that has ex- isted since over Rate- years, thorough- ly Conservative in its sentiments, be- sides being strongly interested as latallords and proprietors in prevent - :big the continued depreciation of land valetee. It is more than probable that some kind_ of protection for the agricultural interest, in the, way of • prohibiting the importation of live cattle and perhaps a slight import duty on wheat, may be imposed in the near future ; for it is felt to be a, form of national weakness that nearly • the whole eonsumptioa of the nation should. be dependene upon distant countries from whence, should war meta, it would be difficult and expen- sive to obtain supplies. Ships would have to proceed in sleets conveyea by cruisere and torpedo boats, and toneequently insurance would be very heavy and thus make the goods expen- sive ; but it is thought that were the home caltivation slightly protected the British fanner would supply a very great share of whatat presentis supplied by tbe colonist or the foreign- er. The British public th is thought might just as well pay the British farmer a. little extra for his produce gown a home thau pay for foreign peottetce (if winch the'greater part of the :cost goes in trausportatiou and in- surance, and it must be admitted that ' •theee as much common sense in the propOsition." •COUNTY COUNCILS. The practical utility of OmmtyCeim- cils is:questionable in the minds of many. Its uselessness as at present con- stituted becomes more apparent after one has attended the sessions and evetchea the progress of the business and by whole transacted. There cer- talitly is a reformation needed. To. abolish County- Councils is out of the queetion They are useful bodies, and the work transacted by them couldnot be transferred to the Legis- datenes and township Councils. Most •of their business is in connection with boundary lines, and in this respect is quite as necessary to the government of the townships as a federal power is to the provinces. From this stand- point it will be readily seen that to head over the duties of the cotmeil to the townships and other municipal- ities would simply augment the in- etliceeies of government and increase ratherthau diminishdifficraties. Onthe other hand, were the duties of county domicils transferred to the Provincial Legislature, it would. serve to central- ' lee power, a condition Of affitha which • -would not be in the general interest-- • .0110, in feet, which is alveady the sub- ject of deserved complaint. Besides, a comay pays for its own public worke, and:the will of the people who betve to bear the expense is almost di rectl y exareserd through the in edimn of the entailer tribunal; or if 110005- 50 10 1)y their own vote at the polls.

Mr. Wrigley charged Dan with having an ambition for a nomination for the Commons in West Huron, and with soliciting the support of the San in securing the coveted honor. Dan replies with a character- istic vigor, denying the Sun's assert- ions and charges the Sun's editor with trying to seduce him from his party allegiance,and prevail upon him to i accept an ndependent nombtation in Huron. an concludes his ch.arge against aliC Wrigley as follows "The fact is, said Mr. Wrigley, we are shoot of men. Mr. Haycock is a great man himsele, but he has a lot of poor stuff behind him ; there are one or two ordinarily fair men with him, but the remainder don't amount to shucks, and have not got over the surprise they experienced when they found themselves elected to the legis- lature.
