(lj,r(X.0 311T'1tsztis FRIDAY, 1LPIt'IL 16, 1897. EAST HURON LIBERALS. The annual uteetiug of East Huron Liberals will be held iu the Town Hall, Brussels, on Saturday of this week, 17th inst., commencing at 1 o'clock le. m. In addition to the election of officers and the transaction of other important business, addresses are expected from Dr. McDon- ald, M. P., Thos. Gibson, M. P. P., and others. Every Liberal in the Riding is invited. WE veutureto predict that no repre• eentetive at the coming Jubilee, to be held in Old London in honor of Her Moet Gracious Majesty Queen Victoria, will receive a heartier reception than Canada's worthy Premier, Icon, Wilfrid Laurier. More than that no speaker will Yk:.aTw'w3eY.anneY sews-vo..rwtzleasnrt ilur r.Ccrotato Better' 11 you want anything done go to a busy M0.11 rather them to one who has leisure on his hands is good advice, whioh we all practically aroopt very early in life. Sir Oliver Mowat'e bill to raise the age at which children may be employed in stere or factory will help extract the chief evil out of the Departmental stores, as well as relieving somewhat the press hi the labor market iu those branches of industry. The wail that is going up about the Dopartmeutal stores is because different classes of people are being Mt. Whim the shoemakers, the joiners, the wagon and haruoss makers a few years ago went down before the large factories created by the glorious National Policy not much sympathy was folt because goods were cheaper, Civilization is not all unmixed good, neither are modern methods an un- failing benefit to all, The Ontario Legislature is nearing the close of a very important, useful session, in which much public interest has settled and during which sono advanced logisla• tion has been effected. Sir Charles Tupper is no general or he would know how to cover a retreat after a square defeat. He is a good tighter but a poor commander ; a good sharp shooter, hidden in ambush, but a poor scout, and so far in the present eesslou every move Me been a dismal failure. It is rumored that Mr. Whitney, the leader of the Opposition in the Ontario Legislature, thinks that ho is on the wrong side of the House. There seems to be something wrong with that chair as no one appears to be comfortable iu it. Per- haps as it is very much in the shade and no plums in teach, that may have some- thing to do with it. The members of the Legislature don't scent to believe in Home Rule for Toren.

Arica a busy and solnewhat important session the Ontario Legislature concluded their business on Tuesday and adjourned. Hon. Mr. Hardy has proven himself to be all that was predicted of him at his elevation to the Premiership, and despite the many ancl carefully planned assaults of the Opposition, under the capable leadership of Mr. Whitney, both the Cabinet and Government have held their own in a most creditable manner, with the close of the Local House all eyes will now be turned towards Ottawa and the important questions under consideration before the Commons. P.rneen says the Canadian Senate may kick overboard the legislation of the Commons in referee :o to wiping out the expensive, biased and unnecessary Dominion franchise Act as promised. The Senate must not monkey too much with parliamentary machinery under the present management or they may And, by the aid of the free and inde- pendent electorate, that there is a way of beheading the whole institution and we believe the loss to the elderly gentle. men who have warmed Beats in the Senate for years would be infinite gain to the people of this Dominion. Few in• deed would be the tears shed over the remains. THF estimates presented to the House of Commons show a reduction of over one million dollars. This is an impor• tant item and will be made op of extrav• aganoes lopped off by the practical heads of the various Departments. We have d t thepilingf r out all foreigners from their labor market. Possibly, however, the out our Liberal Mayor has been taking is too fast for hard timers. The farmers who have been imagining that they are harder pressed than are other classes of the present day, would get their eyes ppoued if they were to try just for a single year to live in the city as they live on the faun. To have as fins A residence, ample lawns, carriages and horses and as luxurious a table would re- quire an income of a Cabinet Minister. Rural districts should encourage by every legitimate means, except bonuses, the building of electric railways. The conveniences they introduce are incalcu- lable and they have no drawbacks. Un- like the steam railway, the farms through which they pass are increased in value by the advent of the smokeless, sparkless and almost noiseless trolley. The Midnight Band of Mercy, of New York city, has just sprung into being, with the avowed purpose of exterminating the feline vagabonds that for ages leave been accustomed to hold midnight carni- vals from the back yard fence. The lordly Mayor of the city. who has joined the association, might perhaps lend his fame and influence to a more pretentious cause, but to none that will surely garland his name with as many poetic gems if the crusade succeeds in snaking Miss Pussy keep the peace at night.
