• PATRONS FOR PROTECTION.
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

Says the Toronto Globe: "Protec-

The Toronto Globe is again asking

it has eatonnously increased their op-

to live comfortably and happi y, where

Mr. Dan McGillicuddy of the Goder-
ich Signal, and Mr. George Wrigley of
the Farmers' Sun, have had. a falling
out, and are now telling on each other
out of school. 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. Well, said he, we Want to get
some men of brains and education to

he is worked to death ancl -we would
like to sae you in the House, for I
know yea would act independently in
the matter. We would prefer to. have
you join the order, but even if you
didn't, and saw fit to run as an inde-
pendent,you could depend on our sup-
port. One of our candidates in your
county is a manufacturer, and t you
could join just as he did." If; will now
be in order for the Sun editor to deny
Dan's charges or explain them. Mr.
McGillicuddy cannot blame Mr. Wrig-
ley for possessing the idea that he

thing, 811100 his enthusiasm in con-
