THE second session of the eighth Parliament of the Dominion, will, it is stated, be called for the first week in March, and if present promises ,are true, will be one of the longest sessions on record. In addition to the Tariff Re. form, there will, it is understood, be a Civil Service Amendment Aot, an act to amend the Superannuation Aot, and an :oat to provide for the taking of a plebis- cite ou prohibition. choose from. On Our side of the disuse we would into to see the stalwart McEyfeu, of Hensall, elevated to the eoeb Gf' Honor. No man will be missed more from the Co. Council than Reeve Lrilber, of Steph- en, but be preferred the honors at home to those of the county. We believe in giving the /lowly constituted body a good Show and judge the "workability" of the Aot after a fair trial. If 16 ]nen can do the business, however, we don't see wiry 8 could not, one from each district. "TNN world is moving on"ie an expres- sion very frequently made use of and correotly too. It is only on occasions similar to the Centennial Exposition and the World's Pair that these great and in- disputable foots are practically exempli• fled to the astonished gaze of the multi- tude. The. Fair at Chicago discounted the Exposition held at Philadelphia, and Paris, in 1000, promises to supersede any of its predecessors. Already preparations are being made and one of the most novel features yet mentioned is to be a castle in the air, suspended from a mammoth bal- loon. The latter will be securely tether- ed by means of strong guy ropes or wires. An electric elevator will convey the pas- sengers to their aerial destination, where refreshments and amusements will be provided. The Ferris wheel won't be in it with the castle as a competitor. TNN Editor of the Clinton News-Reo- ord aspires to be a general Dictator to the press of Huron Go., and when his bretb• ren of the quill decline to be squeezed into his half bushel measure, like a spoil- ed child he flies off the handle and gives "lip." He is quite exercised over the resent Commiseibn held in Brussels and weeps buckets full of crocodile tears over the sins of the Grits. If the Record don't know he should, that certain charges were preferred against Post. master Farrow, coming fairly within the line marked out by Premier Laurier as to what constitutes offensive partisan- ship. Mr. Farrow was made acquainted with Ibis matter by the Deputy Post- master General and asked for his defenoe, which be forwarded. The Postmaster General afterwards appointed Commis- sioner Lazier to bold the investigation, and Mr. Farrow was served with papers containing the specific charges and al- lowed to call witnesses and cross ex- amine those giving evidence in support of said charges. Mr. Lazier finds that while some of these charges were proven, he thinks there are certain reasons given that atone for them. Did the editor of the Record pursne or advooate as above- board a course as the naughty little Grits here followed when be was seeking the Postmaster0hip at Clinton 7 When be missed the plums he took a real bad attack of the pouts and had to be sugar. etioked back to good humor. Mr. Record you must surely know that the 18 years of incessant „ and excessive foraging for fat offices to greedy Tories has combo an end and you might as well take your medicine quiebly as to have somebody hold your nose while you are forced to swallow it. Lein: TroA Scow lute been sentenced to eight months imprisonment, by a Court in Old London, for libelling her son in- law, Earl Russel. She plead guilty to the charge. This should be taken as a warning by all mothers-in-law and al- though the Atlantic ocean may roll be- tween the Canadian or American mother- iu.law and this stern old Court, the es- tabhsbing of a precedent like the above will brighten the horizon of many a Bou- in -law who at one time perhaps dreamed he was his own boss. We believe the old proverb is true that "Every cloud has a silver lining" and Lady Scott's sentence will have a wholesome effect on "sassing" mothers-in-law. AN interesting session of the Local Legislature is expected. The changes in the departments in the Ontario Legisla. titre are becoming radical By a very recent order -in council nearly all the spending departments have been trans- ferred from the Provincial Secretary's Department to the Treasurer's Depart. tient. All the asylums except that in Orillia have been transferred to the Treasurer's Department. It seems to bo the intention of the Government to re- move all the charitable and criminal de- partments to the Treasurer, and all the non•spendiug departments, such as the Board of Health and Game Warden's, to the Secretary. Hon. Mr. Harcourt will soon make a careful inspection of the spending departments outside of Toronto. JUne1NG by the records of the election trials and a synopsis of preliminary esti- dance taken in cases yet to be heard, it would seem that it was almost a miracle that the Liberals carried tfie country ou the 23rd of last June. The cities, as instanced by Winnipeg, London and Brantford, appear to have treaded the peo0ession in bribery, corruption and in- timidation. There is evidently plenty of room for greater purity in the ways and means of many politicians. A few of those implicated in flagrant violations may have a holiday to ruminate on their misdeeds in durance vile. There is no doubt the time had fully come for a change of Government. If the Liberals ever run to the same excess they should be "boosted" too without ceremony. THE BRUSSELS POST Jlamae Buchanan, of Donegal, while in I Notice to Creditors.

The annual reunion of the old settlers of the 12th eon. was held at the residence of A. Crudeu on New Year's eve, Mr, and Mre. Oruden entertained the party in richt royal style. The menu was all that could be desired. The company comprised the following old settlers Meeere. Little, ' Richmond, Lawrenoe, Love, Duncan and the host, two of the. club being absent through delicate health. After dinner the company amused them- selves with games and reminieenoes of pioneer life in Elms. After spending a pleasant evening and thanking the genial and hospitable host and hostess they joined in singing"Auld Lang Syne," and departed to their homes. The re- union next year will be held at the home of Mr. Lawrence. The Ontario Legislature will have a oomparatively early session this year. It has been convened for Feb. 11t1). Members will be able to return in time for their spring plowing. ON page 6 of this week's issue of THE PosT may be react a communication en. titled "16 Pointed Queries," which is worthy of careful perusal and subsequent study. It costs this Dominion of Canada $39,879,854 per year, if the recent Royal Commission figures are to be relied upon. $8 on every man, woman and child in this fair land is a big tax, no one can suooessfully deny, and to this must be added the heavy expense of caring for the criminal and poverty stricken classes made so by bhe giant evil -Intemperance. Every home, school, church and college in this land should fly danger signals and thereby protect the youth from the snare spread before them by the sanction of the Statutes. Answer the 16 interrogations of "Prohibition" to satisfy your own consoienoe and in the light that we are our brother's keeper, Grey Branch. Agricultural Society. The annual meeting of this Society was held, es per Statute, on Wednesday afternoon of this week, President Amos Smith, of Trowbridge, in the chair. Treasurer Stewart read the following abstract of the annual report 11E0EIPT8, Balance from last account 5129 90 Members' subscriptions for 1898, 98 00 Legislative grant County grant Booth rents Admission to Agi. Hall •" Fall Fair Honor Go. Comm, will convene on Tuesday, January 26th. The 16 members who will constitute the Council for 1897 -8 are a representative body, 18 of them being former Co, Councillors. They will, we imagine, feel a sense of loneliness when they think of the days of Auld Lang Syne. The first bneiness of the Council will be the election of e Warden and as this officer has almost invariably been chosen a000rding to the strength of the political vote of the respective parties there is every probability of this plan be. ing continued. Politioally the members will be ovally divided and as the casting vote goes to Co, Councillor Cox,' of Gode- rich township, Distriot No. 2, and as there it not much doubt as to Mr. Cox's poth tics, the loyal Opposition in the Provin• tial and Dominion Parliaments will stand a good chance of a representative sitting in the 'Warden's chair in Huron Co. for the coming two years. There will be a good choice with such gentlemen as Messrs. Mooney, Cook, Hays, Cox, Bol. liino and other old 0o. Councillors to 50055010010. J.
