The matter of equal assessment in the town was then discussed.

Private Bili Passed. A few weeks ago we bad occasion to refer in these columns to the proposed reorganization of the Canada Furni- ture Manufactures financial affairs and the favorable effect it would have aa to the Corupany's interests here. Ac- cording to a despatch just received from Toronto the Private Bill relating to the Company's affairs came before the Private Bills Committee of the Ontario Legislature on Thursday last and was passed without a dissenting vote. This will mean that the under- writing of the debenture stock is practically assured, and the additional capital derived thereby will enable the Company to not only wipe out exist- ing liabilities but provide sufficient for further improvements and additions when needed.

(iROV11S, Oketk, Independence of Advance Appreciated By Liberal Reader Editor Advance :•-- There is a time honored injunction to the effect that if we have a good word to say of anyone not to wait until he Is dead to say It. Thie prompts me to say that I have been watching the attitude of The Advance on public questions lately with con- siderable interest, and the independent spirit you have exhibited on several occasions has been most refreshing evidence that at least not all the party papers in the province of Ontario, are absolutely bide -bound, I am a Liberal in politics, and, of course, do not ex- pect any Conservative paper to take up the cudgels in defence of Liberal political policies, but I think we all have a right to demand and expect every public journal, whether Grit or Tory, to be honest with itself and ite readers, and to express its honest convictions on matters of public con- cern, and not swallow without ques- tion or protest the policies of these who estensibly at least, direct our public affairs. In my opinion, any further assistance to the Canadian Northern Railway by the ,Dominion government is dead wrong. This country has already made millionaires of Bill MacKenzie and Dan Mann, and it is a notorious fact that the govern- mental attitude toward railway pro- moters in Canada has created more millionaires in this country than exist in railway circles in any other nation on the face of the earth. It is time to stop this kind of thing, and the news- papers of the country, if they are true to the ideals of real journalism will not permit such a course to be continued without strong protest. The big dailies, I'am sorry to observe, have apparently lain down to the big rail- way interests, and are ready to allow MacKenzie and Mann, et al, to take all the people's money they can get hold of. With all their boasted oircu- lations, however, the big city papers are not the great influence among tee public they imagine themselves to be, and if the country weeklies will only do their duty in opposing any further donations to the "interests," these "big fellows" Will soon be forced to finance their propositions on merit and not political pull, We little fel- lows have to do that, and as we are the ones who have to foot the coun- try's tax bills in the long run, what is good for us ought to be good for them, I hope you will keep hatuwering away at this and other similar injustices. Such a course will beget for' your paper a confidence among the people which will be more valuable to you by far than thejplaudits of the "interests." LIBERAL READER. The Editor of the Advance thanks "Liberal Reader" very kindly for his letter of appreciation. It is it most difficult thing to edit a party news- paper. Since time began there was only one man, who could edit a news- paper to suit everyone, and history informs us that he fell out of Noah's Ark and was drowned. We are cer- tainly opposed to Canada building any more railways with her money or her credit, and then presenting them to multi millionaires. In a Toronto daily paper of Satur- day last, notice was given that Sir William MacKenzie, Lady MacKenzie, Count DeLesseps and Countess DeLes- eeps had gone south for a holiday after Sir William's arduous labors at Ottawa, where he with his lobbyists were working overtime to get their arm into the people's treasury, While these people are spending hundreds of dollars daily, which the people of Can• ada have presented to them, the wives of our farmers were remaining at home attending to their manifold duties on the farm, gathering the eggs, churning.the butter, etc. so that these different products could be sold and another present bestowed on Mrs. Mc- Kenzie and Countess DeLesseps ; the ladies in our towns and villages were at the same time making dad's clothes over for Johnny in order to pay tri- bute to people "who toil not, neither do they spin." Conservative Daily papers are busy telling us that the people will be emin- ently satisfied with whatever deal' is m' de. Of course, we do know that no matter what raw deal is put over on the people the Conservative dailies will say, it is all for our own good, and hide bound partisans will believe them. For months the Government under pretense of getting more infor- mation has been educating the people through the great dailies, so that the people will have become so fami• liar with forty millions that it will ap- pear when the deal is closed that it is just a mere bagatelle. Vice is a monster of so frightful mien r As to be hated needs but to be seen, Yet seen too oft, familiar with her face, We first endure, then pity, then em brace. The people of Canada have for so long been slaves to the railroads, fin- ancial corporations, etc., that they have just come to the conclusion, that they have no right ,to speak in their own defence. It is no answer to say that the Leerier Administration did the same. Two wrongs do not make a right. It is time the common people made a study of Government, for the time is soon coming when there will he Direct Taxation. Then, they will begin to study when it is too late, Mr. W. A. Currie Is Appointed Technical Examiner Word has been received here from the Pros incial Secretary's Department. that Councillor W. A. Currie has been appointed in and for t' e di t 'et of Wingham, as technical examiner of all those in this district who are appli• cants for a chit offer's. license, Candi- dates will be examined as to character, physical &nese, ability to drive, and knowledge of the rules of the road. As Mr. Currie is a man thoroughly con- versant with motor vehicles, a mech- anical expert, and a driver himselr, the appointment is considered an t x- cellent one.

If i is of any assistance to our readers we will publish in full next week the na- ture of the examination. t .ocai Iltenzs -1 We regret to announce the death of Solomon Hughes, of 243 Cornwall road, North Kensington, who passed away on the 13th inst. with double pneumonia after a ,bort illness.

The Easter services in the Methodist Church were largely attended. The pastor spoke in the morning on Rev. 1 :17, revealing the Christ who lived in Palestine, his vicarious sacrifice and his wonderful resurrection. The even- ing subject was "Blessings through His resurrection." The musical service was conducted by the choir and was much appreciated. The Easter services in St. Paul's church were bright and interesting, and were well attended There were a large number of communicants. Appropriate sermons were given by the rector, Rev. E. H. Croly. Special music was rendered, and the choir maintained its reputation for excellent music. In the afternoon a special ser vice was held for the children, and an interesting address delivered by the rector. The large choir of S. S. pupils excelled themselves in the musical s-lectione. Mr. F. Hinkley's cornet solo and accompaniments added great• ly to the musicetl numbers, The annual Faster Vestry meeting o' St. Paul's church was held on Mon- day evening, and adjourned till next Monday. A report of the proceedings will be given in the next issue." Special Easter services were held in the Presbyterian Church last Sabbath. Rev. David Perris took as his text, frotn which he preached a very appropriate sermon In the morning, John 20: 20, "Jesus saith 'unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast belicvd : blessed are they that have not seen and yet have ' believed." The church was beautifully decorated with Baster lilies. In the even- ing the sermon was from John 20:10, "Then at the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut, where the disciples were as- sembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in their midst and saith unto them, Peace be unto you." The choir rendered special Easter music. Hospital Concert. A grand concert will be given in aid of the Hospital in the Town Ilttli, Tuesday evening April 21st.
